Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 153 The Child Enters the Palace
"Director Zhang..."

Several father-in-laws begged and looked at the pale-faced Eunuch Zhang, but his eyes were filled with darkness, and tried to persuade him, "It's been three days and three nights, even hard-working people should be tired, although the emperor asked us to accompany you The concubine Shizi is testing the medicine together, but we can't force people to do this, right? Right now, the concubine Shizi seems to be fine, but if she comes back for another three days and nights, the concubine Shizi will be exhausted. Then who do we find to test the medicine for the emperor!"

Eunuch Zhang: "..."

He heard the subtext of his subordinates - although they are servants in the palace who came here by the emperor's order, it can be said that Potian is just a slave, while the princess of Nanjun Palace is the master, if she is really tired It's up to the emperor to blame her for his downfall, but they angels will definitely be punished severely!
Thinking in this way, his originally straight spine finally bent down, bowed his head, cupped his hands and said to Chu Ci, "There are so many concubines in the world, it was indeed the fault of the servant yesterday... The servant should not rely on her status as the emperor's close servant Being disrespectful to the concubine... The concubine will be beaten and punished, but the slaves have no complaints, I just ask the concubine not to listen to the nonsense that the concubine said yesterday, it is better to combine work and rest in this matter of testing the medicine."

Hearing what he said, Chu Ci put his arms around his chest, glanced at him coldly and arrogantly, and said mockingly, "So Eunuch Zhang also did wrong things sometimes?"

Eunuch Zhang lowered his head even lower.

In the silence of the room, he hesitated for a moment, knelt on the ground with difficulty, and said to Chu, "I really know my mistake, I beg the concubine to forgive me." As he spoke, he nodded his head to the ground, sincerely towards her Kowtowed.

Chu Ci lightly knocked his eyelids, and after pondering for a moment, he lifted his lips and said, "Elder-in-law is an angel, and I'm just a little county princess, how dare I offend you!"

"However, there is a good saying that you can correct your mistakes. There is nothing good about it. Since my father-in-law already knows where I am wrong, I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't enter places you shouldn't enter, Don't meddle in things you shouldn't care about!"

"Slaves are taught!" Eunuch Zhang said in a low voice, and kowtowed respectfully.

Chu Ci saw that he was still being obedient, a look of satisfaction floated in his eyes, he paused for a moment, then eased his expression, raised his hand and waved at the row of father-in-laws under the south wall, and said, "You have been squatting with me in the pharmacy for three days , I must be very tired, go down and eat something, and have a good rest!"

When the father-in-law heard Chu Ci say this, it was like a prisoner who had been sentenced to ten years in prison and finally waited to be released after serving his sentence, and thanked Chu Ci repeatedly.

Chu Ci smiled secretively at the others, "Go back to your room, I will have food delivered to your room later!"

"Thank you, Princess Concubine!" The father-in-laws thanked Chu Ci with tears in their eyes.

Afterwards, they didn't stay any longer, supported each other, and walked out in a stumbling manner.

Chu Ci watched them step by step, leaving like puppets on strings, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

After everyone left, she casually sorted out the newly prepared pills, and strode outside.

Outside, Qing Miao had nothing to do, so he wandered around in the courtyard, thinking about when the girls would come out.

Because of this, she was the first person to see Chu Ci.

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she rushed up three steps at a time, supported Chu Ci and said, "Girl, you have finally come out, those people have been completely solved, are you tired, hungry, do you want a servant?" Go to the kitchen and get you something to eat?"

Chu Ci looked at his personal maid, smiled lightly, and said, "You asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

Qing Miao blushed when Chu Ci asked her back, bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "Naturally, answer the penultimate one first, are you hungry?"

Chu Ci shook his head with a smile, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I can't starve myself... These days, when they are not paying attention to nap, I have been taking bigu pills in the pharmacy."

It is also because of this that she can have such a good energy.

Qing Miao has been with Chu Ci for so long, so she naturally knows what Bigu Pills are. Hearing what she said, she suddenly felt relieved.While helping her to walk to Xieciju, while talking about the fate of those father-in-laws——

"The servant saw that they limped out of the study one by one, did the girl plan to starve them for three days?"

"Of course not!" Chu Ci tilted his head, smiled slightly at his maidservant who was very curious about knowledge, and said, "Next time Xie Ciju, you can ask Aunt Wu to make some delicious food for you, such as braised elbow, braised pork Hooves or something..."

Qing Miao rolled her eyes when she heard what Chu Ci said, "Is the girl going to drug them?"

Chu Ci: "... No matter how bad they are, they are still angels, your girl, am I such a brainless person?"

"What does the girl mean?" Qing Miao was puzzled.

Chu Ci narrowed his eyes, and didn't mean to explain, but said, "You will know in the future!"

Qing Miao was dissatisfied with her girl's answer, flattened her mouth, and hummed with displeasure, "Young lady knows how to whet people's appetite!"

Just as they were talking, the two had already reached Xie Ciju.

Chu Ci tilted his head, glanced at the direction of the small kitchen, and said to Qingmiao, "Okay, you don't have to help me, I'll go back alone, you go to the small kitchen and tell Aunt Wu to do more A few good dishes with big meat, to make up for those angels."

"Yes, girl!" Qing Miao pursed her lips and said, followed by watching Chu Ci enter Xie Ciju's bedroom, and then went to the small kitchen.

In the small kitchen, Qing Miao found Aunt Wu and explained Chu Ci's explanation carefully.

After listening to it, Aunt Wu didn't ask any more questions. She had always believed in Chu Ci the most. After thinking for a while, she reported a food list to Qing Miao.

Qing Miao heard that the dishes were all big meat, so she nodded her head and said yes.

Xie Ciju, Chu Ci stayed in the pharmacy for three days, and did not take a bath for three full days.

After seeing the two babies, she asked Zhexia to prepare fragrant soup, planning to take a good bath and catch up on sleep.

Zhexia took the order, turned around and walked outside.

She always works very fast, but within half a quarter of an hour, she hurried in from the outside, came in front of Chu Ci, and said, "Girl, the fragrant soup is ready, what are you going to do now?" In the past?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but looked up at her, and asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Zhe Xia smiled, "In the small kitchen, Aunt Wu had someone keep boiling hot water, just waiting for the girl to ask someone to fetch water!"

Hearing what she said, Chu Ci suddenly understood, and at the same time, was a little moved by Aunt Wu's carefulness.

After showering, let your hair dry.

Zhejin waited for her to simply pull up her hair, and said, "Miss hasn't eaten for three whole days, why don't you take some food before resting?"

Chu Ci looked at his snow-white and delicate face like a high school student in the mirror, smiled a little shamefully, and said, "I'm really not hungry now, I'd better wait until I wake up to see it..."

Zhejin had no choice but to let her go.

After tidying up her hair, she waited for her to lie down, put down the curtain again, and walked outside.

Meanwhile, the front yard sits upside down.

After soaking their legs and feet and rubbing medicated oil, the father-in-law finally waited for the big meal that Chuci had prepared for them.

Braised pork knuckles that are shiny in color, braised hoofs full of collagen, braised lion heads with a thick layer of fat...every dish is a big meat that Chu Ci hand-picked.

Smelling the tangy aroma of meat, the fathers-in-law felt their index fingers twitch, lifted their chopsticks and started to gobble it up.

But only Eunuch Zhang didn't move.

It was halfway through the meal that the father-in-laws realized that Eunuch Zhang hadn't moved his chopsticks.Instead, his face was gloomy, and he looked thoughtfully at the eight meat dishes in front of him.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, why don't you eat it, but these dishes don't suit your appetite?" One of the father-in-law asked anxiously, chewing on a piece of elbow.

When Eunuch Zhang was asked this question, the gloom on his face dissipated a little, replaced by a look of ruthlessness, he curled his lower lip with a sly smile and said, "The concubine Shizi personally ordered the dishes to be made in the small kitchen. It’s not to your liking, our family didn’t touch our chopsticks just now, we were just thinking about something!”

"Then...Mr. Zhang, would you please?" The father-in-law who spoke to him knew that he, Shangfeng's favorite stewed elbow, hurriedly pushed the elbow in front of him towards him.

Manager Zhang looked up at his subordinates across from his house, smiled meaningfully, lifted his chopsticks and added a piece of elbow that was mostly fat, which was considered to be his favor!

Xie Ciju, Chu Ci fell asleep and fell asleep until the next morning.

Because I slept so soundly, when I walked over, I still had a bit of a haze of not knowing what day and night it was.

After sitting up, he stared at the top of the bed for a long time before he remembered who he was and where he was now.

She leaned forward, raised the curtain with some difficulty, and called out, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

Zhejin was packing some things in the cage behind the screen, when he heard Chu Ci's call, he immediately responded, "Girl, the servant is here!" After saying that, he closed the cage and walked towards Chu Ci.

Chuci saw Zhejin walking beside her, smiled at her, and asked tentatively, "Did anything happen after I fell asleep yesterday?"

Zhejin is also smart, Chuci just started a conversation, she knew what she wanted to ask, and immediately said with a smile, "Returning to the girl, Xie Ciju is fine, but the upside down in the front yard happened. Some interesting things happened... Those father-in-laws, who didn't know what happened, actually had diarrhea all night, one by one, they almost got into a fight when they robbed the latrine, and the other two father-in-laws didn't get it, and they even took their trousers It's all dirty!"

After hearing Zhejin's words, Chuci's smile deepened.

But soon, she covered up her gloat again, coughed lightly, and solemnly ordered Zhejin, saying, "The father-in-laws are angels after all, and the emperor is close to them. Something happened to our Chu residence. We must not stand idly by." , you ask someone to go outside and invite a better doctor to come back and look for them, and then ask Butler Wu to investigate carefully, what is going on with all this, and give me news within three days!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin replied with a bow, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be driven away no matter how hard he tried.

Chu Ci looked at her like this, pursed his lips, and said, "You go and do the two things I told you first, and just let Qing Miao come in to serve you in the room!"

Zhe Jin heard Chu Ci's arrangement, bowed and said yes, then turned and walked out.

Chu Ci sat on the bed for a while before Qing Miao came in from the outside. Just like Zhe Jin who had just left, she also had a lingering smile on her face.

Even when he stepped forward to salute her, he was somewhat cheerful.

Chu Ci looked at her, and couldn't help knocking her, saying, "Those are the emperor's close servants, and they came to the mansion at the emperor's order. You have to pretend to be serious... Otherwise, people will be caught in the wind, then But it will be troublesome!"

After listening to Chu Ci's words, Qing Miao reacted belatedly, hurriedly grimaced, and said calmly, "What the girl taught me is that the servant understands." "It's good to understand!" Chu Ci saw her listening If I had to go in, I gave her a smiling face again, and said, "Help me change my clothes now, I haven't seen the two young masters for a few days, I think they are very good!"

When Qing Miao heard the words, Fushen replied yes again, and then stepped forward to help Chu Ci change his clothes and wash.

After everything is packed, Aunt Wu will also prepare breakfast in the small kitchen.

This time, she didn't care whether Chu Ci wanted to eat or not, she just brought two food boxes over, and put a full table on the round table in the dormitory. Without ear-to-ear, she glanced at Aunt Wu who was standing beside her, and asked, "Aunt Wu, how long have you been preparing such a big table for breakfast!"

Aunt Wu grinned and didn't hide it, "As for the girl, I got up before dawn to prepare...everything on this table is what the girl likes in the past, and the girl should eat more today. Make up for what you haven’t eaten for three nights!”

Chu Ci: "..."

She took another look at Aunt Wu who was smiling, and only thought of Alexander.

I have to make up for the breakfast I didn’t eat in the previous three days, together with today’s!
"Girl, come and sit down!" Seeing that Chu Ci was still standing there, Aunt Wu couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed her arm, pulled her to the round table and sat down.

Afterwards, he served her a bowl of fragrant chicken shredded rice porridge with three or four crystal clear corn and shrimp dumplings.

Chu Ci picked up the spoon with great affection, and drank slowly under Aunt Wu's attentive gaze.

After she took a few sips, Aunt Wu couldn't help but reminded again, "Girl, don't just drink porridge, but also eat shrimp dumplings. I remember you used to like this kind of steamed dumplings with clear skins the most."

Chu Ci had no choice but to sandwich a steamed dumpling of corn and shrimp.

Aunt Wu next to her watched her eat the steamed dumplings, she was overjoyed, and made her three small steamed buns, two spring rolls, and a pair of gold and silver steamed buns, and kept persuading her, "Girl, this small steamed bun Buns, spring rolls, gold and silver steamed buns dipped in cheese are also your favorite food before!"

Chu Ci didn't want to disappoint the old man's kindness, so he had no choice but to continue to try the same food.

She tried all the breakfasts on the table, and her stomach, which was not too hungry, was full.

But Aunt Wu didn't seem to feel her reluctance and slow movements, and she still tried her best to persuade her.

At the end of the persuasion, Chu Ci only felt that his stomach was about to explode.

She had to put down the chopsticks in her hand, turned to Aunt Wu and said, "Aunt Wu, to be honest, I'm full!"

"Are you full?" Aunt Wu looked in disbelief. She looked back at the breakfast table beside her, and said dumbfounded, "The girl is full after eating this little? Didn't she eat for three days? Hungry?"

Chu Ci pursed his lips, looked at Aunt Wu in front of him, and said earnestly, "Aunt Wu, I am a doctor! I am a miracle doctor!"

Aunt Wu: "..."

Chu Ci sighed, and said, "So, I know better than anyone else whether my stomach is good or not! I also know whether I'm full or not!"

After listening to Chu Ci's euphemism, Aunt Wu finally understood her meaning belatedly.A look of embarrassment appeared on the originally dark complexioned face, he lowered his head and said embarrassingly, "I, I know, I was the one who made things difficult for the girl just now..."

Chu Ci stood up, and said to Aunt Wu who was embarrassed, "Don't be sad, I know you are doing it for my own good, I am afraid that I will starve, I will accept this favor..."

"Girl, can you really understand me?" Hearing what she said, Aunt Wu couldn't help but look up at her.

Chu Ci looked back at her, nodded earnestly, paused, and said, "But the rest of the breakfast is not to be wasted, can you share it with the servants in the house? Miss Ah Chun and the others The little ones probably haven't eaten such a good breakfast..."

After listening to Chu Ci's order, Aunt Wu quickly nodded and said, "What the girl said is true, I understand, I will take it out and share it with them now!" After speaking, she began to clean up the breakfast on the table.

Chu Ci watched Aunt Wu quickly pack the breakfast and left again. She raised her head, looked at the roof helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I... really hold on..."

The brocade next to it: "..."

She thought for a while with a complicated expression, and tentatively suggested, "Then, how about I go out with you for a walk to refresh yourself?"

"That's fine!" Chu Ci nodded, and she walked out with Zhejin's hands on her hands.

Outside, Chu Ci went down the steps and started to walk around the courtyard.

After walking ten laps, she stopped and started to look up at the pomegranate tree in the yard. After a long time, she asked Zhejin with a complicated expression, "Tell me, isn't the Chu residence too small?"

Zhejin listened to his girl's question, thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly and replied, "As the girl's status as the princess of the county, this courtyard is a bit small."

Chu Ci sighed, looked left and right again, and said, "Then you go back and walk around the neighbors to see if they are willing to buy their house, if so..."

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, he stopped.

Zhejin couldn't help asking, "What if they want to?"

"It's okay." Chu Ci looked away, sighed, and said, "You don't need to ask the neighbors on the left and right, because even if they agree to sell the house, I won't buy it."

"What does the girl mean?"

"Did you forget? I'm going back to Jinling in the future." Chu Ci said indifferently. As for the Chu residence in the capital, it's just a house where she stayed before returning to Jinling!
No matter how well it is repaired or how big it is, it is useless.

As for Zhejin, she only realized it after hearing what Chu Ci said.

yes!Their girls are no longer the Princess Regent of the Prince Regent's Mansion, but the Crown Princess of the Nanjun Palace... There is a King Regent watching over the capital, and sooner or later she will go back to Jinling with King Lu Xiaojun.

Thinking like this, she looked at the Chu residence in front of her, and suddenly felt reluctant to give up.

Every plant and tree here makes her nostalgic...

Here, she spent the most ordinary and happy period of her life, and also spent the most difficult period of her life.

Although the Chu residence is small, its weight in her heart surpasses all the places she has ever stayed in, even the Prince Regent's Mansion.

"Forget it, let's walk a few more laps!" Chu Ci stood there for a while, feeling that his stomach was still a little uncomfortable, couldn't help but speak, sighed softly, and then continued to resign himself to his fate and started to walk slowly.

After that, she walked around a lot, until the sun came out and she was sweating a little, she stopped slowly, wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and said to Zhejin beside her, "We should go back too! let's go!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhe Jin replied, and helped Chu Ci to walk into Xie Ci's residence.

At this time, Yunniang also served the two little ones for breakfast.

However, after Chu Ci entered the door, she did not go to see the two little babies immediately, but went to the clean room, simply wiped her face, changed her clothes, and solved her physical needs before she went to the bedroom to see the two little babies. baby.

The two babies are getting smarter and smarter now. In addition to smelling her body, they can also hear her footsteps. Therefore, just as she opened the curtain and before she walked to Yu's bed, they were already talking loudly. , Shouted "Mother" crisply!
Hearing the voices of the two little babies, Chuci's face that was originally slightly worried instantly warmed up. As he walked in, he changed his face and said to the two little babies who were already sitting up, "Xiaoer, Xin'er, mother is here..."

When Xiao Er and Xin Er heard their own mother's voice, the smiles on their milky white faces became brighter, and they kept waving at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci looked at it, her heart was so warm that it was about to melt, she approached You Bed in three steps and two steps, picked up one in each hand, and kissed it twice.

The mother and son made a fuss together.

It's just that such a happy time didn't take long before it was interrupted.

It was Aunt Wu who interrupted them.

Chu Ci put down the two children, looked up at Aunt Wu, and asked, "Why are you here, but what happened to Eunuch Zhang and the others in the front yard?"

Hearing what she said, Aunt Wu quickly shook her head and said, "The girl's words are not because of Eunuch Zhang and the others in the front yard, but because...there is another person in the palace, and it is Mr. Li who came before!"

Manager Li?

Isn't that Li Zhong?
When Chu Ci thought of this person, his face immediately became serious, he stood up, looked at Aunt Wu and asked, "Did Manager Li tell you why you came here?"

Aunt Wu shook her head and said, "Mr. Li didn't say anything about this, he just said that he had something urgent to ask you, and asked you to come to the palace with him as soon as possible!"

"I understand!" Chu Ci nodded, paused, and then said solemnly, "I'll go there now!"
