Chapter 44 The Red Birthmark

Zhao Zhen also entered the room, walked around the red sandalwood throne screen inlaid with jade and flowers, and stood still in front of the carved mahogany imperial concubine's couch. There was a handsome maidservant beside him. Seeing him coming, he bowed to salute. The maid stepped back, heard the sound of the door closing, and slowly leaned over and kissed Yuning on the forehead.

Yuning still didn't wake up, she was exhausted after a long journey, Zhao Zhen also followed her forehead, and kissed her soft red lips with her straight nose bridge, gradually deepening.

Yuning couldn't breathe well, she couldn't help opening her mouth slightly, and Zhao Zhen also reached in, wrapping her tongue around her to deepen the kiss.

"Your Highness?" Yuning finally woke up. She was suffocated and felt that her breathing was not smooth. When she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face who was close at hand, breathing the familiar scent of heavy wood. On his wrist was a string of heavy wood. Wood Buddha beads, so there is a scent of sinking wood all year round, and only then did Yuning know who the person who kissed her was, "Your Highness, when did you come back?"

Seeing that the robe on his body hadn't been changed yet, he struggled to get up, "Your Highness, this concubine should get up and serve you."

"No, just rest." Zhao Zhen also pressed her shoulder, his eyes darkened, "I've heard about the Mountain Resort."

Jiang Yuning glanced at him, lowered his eyes and said nothing, Zhao Zhen also half-bent down and hugged her in his arms, "Yuning, it's my fault that I failed to protect you."

Yuning smiled wryly, "What does this have to do with Your Highness? It's because I'm too cowardly to manage the people around me well."

Zhao Zhen also held her in his arms and remained silent. After a while, Shui Sheng outside the room said softly, "Your Highness, the empress is looking for you."

Zhao Zhen also kissed her forehead, "You take a good rest, I will come to see you later."

After going to Yongle Palace, the queen felt a little distressed when she saw him, "Why did you lose so much weight, I will ask the imperial dining room to make some medicinal food to nourish my body."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhao Zhen also said, "Queen Mother has other matters. If there is nothing else, I have to go back to Pingyang Palace to deal with government affairs. The report on the flood in Jingzhou has not been written yet, and my son has to go to see Father Emperor .”

The queen sighed, and pulled him to sit down on the couch, "Are you blaming the queen mother for not helping you protect Yuning? The queen mother is also a human being, and she has no supernatural skills. How can I prevent those people from having bad thoughts, but the queen mother There is indeed a mistake, knowing that she is gentle and kind, she should have replaced those restless palace servants long ago."

Zhao Zhen also smiled wryly, "I didn't blame my mother, I just felt that I was useless, and I couldn't even keep my concubine and child."

The queen sighed again, and seeing that Zhao Zhenyi was about to get up and leave after a while, she said, "Zhenyi, you only have four side concubines by your side, shouldn't you also choose a main concubine to be married by the emperor? , there should be a main concubine in charge of your yard, right?" At the beginning of the draft, he was intentionally asked to choose a crown princess, but in the end he only selected four side concubines.

Zhao Zhen also looked sideways at the queen, "Mother, I have something to say to you from the bottom of my heart today. I am very happy with Yuning. If there is a princess, she can only be her. It's just that the current situation is not suitable for her to come forward. It's better to wait for her." Let's take a look in a year or two." Seeing the empress looking at him in shock, he got up and walked out, "Empress mother, my son returns to the palace to handle government affairs."

Only the queen and Jianchun beside her were left in the huge bedroom, and Jianchun also looked shocked. I really didn't expect the prince to like Yuning so much.

After the people left for a while, the queen murmured, "I never thought that he would like that girl so much, but her family background... Forget it, just let him go, wait a year or two and see. "

Jianchun stood aside and didn't dare to persuade him much.

Yuzhu has been resting at home for the past few days, and she has slept for three full days before she wakes up. Licorice makes delicious food for her in different ways every day, such as stewed chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms, old duck soup, sea cucumber and keel soup, sand ginseng and jade bamboo soup, etc. It's for Yuzhu's body.

After a few days of drinking, Yuzhu was also a little tired, so she acted like a baby with licorice, "Licorice, Jiaojiao doesn't want to drink soup anymore, tomorrow I will make stir-fried lotus root slices, and then steam a sea bass." It's delicacies from mountains and seas, and I've been tired of eating it for a long time, but the family members feel sorry for her running back and forth, fearing that she will be tired and thin.

Licorice was bought back by the Mu family when she was ten years old. Seeing Yuzhu's birth and serving Yuzhu for more than four years, this little master is what hurts her the most. Naturally, it is up to her, "Okay, what does our girl want to eat, servant Just do."

Yuzhu hugged Licorice, "Sister Licorice is the best."

On the second day, after eating crispy and delicious lotus root slices and delicious steamed fish, Yuzhu went to take a nap contentedly. She didn't ask for much, and with the company of her family, she could eat comfortably and sleep comfortably.It's past the beginning of autumn, and it was still a little hot at noon. Yuzhu took off her silk socks and skirt, put on a middle coat, and lay down on the couch to rest.

After several days in a row, Shen Mei finally came to play with Yuzhu. The pair of big rabbits, yes, can only be called big rabbits at the moment.During the period when Yuzhu went to the summer resort, the two big rabbits were listless. When Yuzhu came back, they were refreshed and ate more than before, and the few taels of meat they had lost so hard grew back.

Shen Mei was happily handing the vegetable leaves in her hand to the two rabbits to eat, Yuzhu stared at them for a while, and couldn't help asking Shen Mei, "Meier, do you think Miao'er and Bao'er are too fat?" It is chubby, and its fur is shiny. From a distance, it looks like two puppies.

"No way." Shen Mei looked at the two carefully, but couldn't tell, "Shouldn't they be so fleshy?"

Yuzhu thought to herself, but she is too fat, too fat is not good for her health, and she will take them for a stroll more often in the future.

Shen Mei fed the two rabbits and ate a lot. Yuzhu led the two rabbits to walk around in the yard. They were also two lazy ones. When Yuzhu moved two steps, they moved two steps next to her heels. Yuzhu wanted to go to the other side. Sitting down on the stone stool, the two rabbits also went over and stayed beside her feet without moving.

Shen Mei laughed out loud, and Yuzhu also laughed angrily. She sat on the stone bench and lightly touched the two with her feet, "You should go." In the past, when the two were released from the cage, they seemed to be out of the cage, strewn all over the yard, but now Fortunately, I only know how to follow Yuzhu.

Shen Meixiao's tears came out, and she wiped them away with her hand, "Yuzhu, you said these two rabbits are really interesting, and they know how to recognize people."

Children’s time passes by the fastest, carefree only knows to play, and it’s autumn in a blink of an eye, the weather turns cold, and the underskirt is covered with a skirt, Yuzhu is wearing a light purple embroidered plum blossom skirt today, and a brown red hood over her hood Ling Douqing sat in front of the desk and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke in her printed beanie with a collar, while Xie Che accompanied her, holding a volume of books in her hand to read.

Xie Che glanced at Yuzhu from time to time, and when her eyes fell on her, she was gentle and gentle. These days, Yuzhu has already learned the three-character scriptures, learned a hundred surnames, and recently recognized the thousand-character script. Xie Che planned to teach her the Four Books and Five Classics, step by step. He didn't expect Yuzhu to be talented and extremely intelligent, but he just hoped that she would have a good life and understand some principles.

Half an hour after Yuzhu finished writing, her hands were a little sore, she put down her hair and shook her hands, Xie Che got up and sat down beside her, "I'm writing here today, I'll check your homework, licorice made fermented glutinous rice eggs in the small kitchen, you sit aside Let’s eat first, and I’ll take you out for a while.”

This trip is a carriage ride to the market, Xie Che will take her out every half a month, this is also a rare event that Yuzhu likes.

Yuzhu nodded, "Brother Che will also eat a bowl?"

Xie Che chuckled, "You eat first." When he laughed, there were dimples at the corners of his mouth, which was very clear.

After using fermented glutinous rice eggs, Xie Che also used a bowl after checking her homework, and took her hand to take the carriage out of the house.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Xie Che saw Yuzhu open the curtain happily to look at the bustling market outside.

Yuzhu shook her head, "Not yet, Brother Che, let me take a look first."

This bazaar is really busy, with all kinds of snacks, small vendors, and all kinds of shops, in various poses and with different expressions, which makes people dazzled.Yuzhu was looking for some rare things, she had received a lot of gifts from Shen Xian before, and she has been wanting to return the gifts these days, the Shen family has no shortage of precious jades, and rare things are hard to find, she has never come across them.

In the market, the carriage was moving slowly, and Yuzhu didn't get off, so she opened the curtain to watch.

Not far away, there was a commotion, and a woman was heard crying, "I beg you to give us another chance, let our mother stay for a few days, and the father will give you the rent if you find the child in a few days. "

Yuzhu looked up and saw that there were many people around the inn in front of her. She turned her head and said to Xie Che, "Brother Che, let's go and have a look."

Xie Che responded and asked the coachman to find a place to get out of the carriage. He got out of the carriage with Yu Zhu'er in his arms and went to the inn to watch the excitement.

It was only when I walked in that I realized what was going on. A woman in shabby clothes was crawling on the ground, holding a girl of eighteen or nine years old in her arms. The two of them huddled together, shivering.

The waiter at the inn saw people watching, and said to everyone, "The door is open for business, and our place is not a dining hall set up by good people. You mother and daughter have lived here for half a month. We have good food and drink." Forgive me, until now you still can't give a single penny, everyone is here to judge, whether we did something wrong, or this woman went too far."

Some people booed, "That's right, there's no reason not to pay money for staying in a hotel, it's your fault."

The woman cried and begged, "Give us a few more days until we find the father of the child..."

"Let's talk about it when you can find it!" Xiao Er interrupted the woman and said with a sneer, "You have been looking for half a month, I don't care about this matter, you pay the money now, you can find someone or do whatever you want Anything can be done, if you don’t give money, I will report to the official!"

"For the store owner, I think it's better to report to the official immediately, who knows if these two are liars who cheated on food and drink."

"Report to the officer, report to the officer, take them to the cell to squat."

The woman's appearance was not good-looking, her skin was dark, and there was a red birthmark on her right cheek. The girl in her arms was also thin and pale, shivering tremblingly in the woman's arms.
