Xu Qingmo really doesn't care whether Princess Zhaoyang is hurt or not. She has always felt that Princess Zhaoyang is not a person who can take care of herself. Although it is a very sad thing that she cannot have her own children, it is a very sad thing for her to fall in love with Zhaoyang. What happened to Princess Yang may not necessarily be a bad thing.
If a woman who is not very smart should not have too many things to rely on, she will not have too many thoughts that she should not have, and on the contrary, she can save a lot of trouble.
It's just that Xu Qingmo must not say such words. Not to mention whether it may reach Princess Zhaoyang's ears, even the two people in front of her may have to condemn her for a while if they hear her say this.
After all, for most women, being unable to have children is a very tragic thing. If she tells her true thoughts, she will definitely be scolded in the end!
Marquis Ningyuan came back with a bunch of rewards. In addition to those given by the emperor, there were also many gold and silver jewelry prepared by the queen. As soon as Marquis Ningyuan returned home, he couldn't help but said: "In previous years, the things your majesty rewarded There are also some of the Four Treasures of the Study inside. This time when Mo Mo opened his mouth, all the gifts were gold, silver and jewels. Aren't you afraid that others will say we are greedy for money?"
"Many of the supplies sent to the border this time were taken from the dowries of my mother and sister-in-law. If I didn't ask Your Majesty and the Queen for more gold and silver treasures, what would I do if they didn't ask for more gold and silver from my mother and sister-in-law?" You can fill it in when the time comes!" Xu Qingmo snorted, "You and your eldest brother are fighting outside every day, how do you know how expensive the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home are?"
Ning Yuanhou was speechless by Xu Qingmo's words: "You have the most reasons!"
Xu Qingmo smiled and rarely argued again. This was the first time for Marquis Ningyuan to see his youngest son. Apart from the surprise, he was more caught off guard. He felt guilty towards Mrs. Xu for letting her face the pain of childbirth alone. She even had to worry about herself and whether she had taken good care of herself during the confinement period. This was because her complexion was indeed much worse than in previous years.
Marquis Ningyuan felt extremely distressed, but because Princess Zhengyang and Xu Qingmo were there, he didn't say anything.
In the end, Princess Zhengyang saw the clues and pulled Xu Qingmo away, asking her to change into clean clothes.
Xu Qingmo smelled the smell on his body and it was indeed not pleasant, so he didn't think much about it and went back to his yard. Unexpectedly, Huaying had already prepared washing things and was waiting for him at the gate of the yard. .
"Girl, you're finally back!" Hua Ying's eyes were full of joy when she saw Xu Qingmo, "I prepared hot soup for the girl, and quickly washed away the fatigue all over her body. Why did she sleep in the open these days? She has lost a lot of weight, it must be very hard outside! It’s all my fault for this girl Qu Lian, so many people just followed her and didn’t see her, take good care of the girl..."
Listening to Hua Ying's nagging, Xu Qingmo finally felt like she was home. She took a deep look at Hua Ying, and then smiled softly: "I haven't heard you nagging like this for a long time, and I actually miss you a little. !”
Hua Ying was stunned for a moment, then patted Xu Qingmo's hand, with a look of grievance on her face: "Girl, are you laughing at me, do you dislike my nagging?"
Xu Qingmo laughed instantly: "No, no! Didn't you tell me to take a bath quickly? If I don't go, the hot soup will get cold!"
Only then did Hua Ying remember this matter and quickly took Xu Qingmo to take a bath.
Sitting in the steaming tub, Xu Qingmo felt that all the fatigue in his body was washed away by the hot water! In a place like the border, there is not much drinking water, let alone a good bath!
I'm really dirty on weekdays, so I just use cold water to wash away the dust on my body. Where can I find so much hot water for you to soak in and take a comfortable bath?
"Qu Lian said that when we were at the border, even girls used cold water to bathe and wash their hair. How could they endure such a cold day!" Hua Ying helped with the bath, her words full of distress. .
Xu Qingmo just smiled: "In a bitter and cold place, it's hard to eat and drink. If you need so much hot water, how much firewood will be needed! Although I am usually very delicate at home, when I get to the border, You always have to do as the Romans do. Although it’s a little bit harder, it’s not that bad. Being short of food and clothing is not as uncomfortable as you think.”
"I am just a girl, you are just saying these words to comfort me!" Hua Ying listened and sighed, "In a place where the weather is cold and freezing, there is not even a soup woman. How can it not be miserable? How many men can't bear it? , the girl has been raised with all kinds of charms since she was a child, and it is naturally the most uncomfortable to suffer these hardships. Look at the palm of this hand, there are several places, and you can tell at a glance that it is good and broken, and broken and good."
Xu Qingmo listened, but quietly put his hand into the bucket so that Hua Ying wouldn't see it: "It's okay, it's okay!"
After more than half an hour, Huaying hesitated for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "Girl, how about we change the bucket of water!"
Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw a layer of dirt floating on the water. She was silent for a while, and then she couldn't help but laugh: "It seems I need to take a good bath, it's so dirty that I can rub it in the mud." Got it!"
Hua Ying didn't think it was funny, she just felt distressed. She had been serving Xu Qingmo since she was very young. Her girls had always been better than others' girls since they were little. She was served a lot, and she didn't like to use any hair oil. What kind of balm does she like to use, but she still loves to be clean. She has to take a bath almost every day. When would she have such dirt on her body? But now it is more and more obvious how much she suffered at the border. .
Huaying felt sad, but she didn't say anything. She just helped her bathe seriously, making her clean, white and tender!
After washing herself, Xu Qingmo sighed comfortably. Sitting on the long dressing table, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze: "It seems that I have really lost a lot of weight!"
"Yeah, I really lost a lot of weight!" Hua Ying stood behind Xu Qingmo, combing her hair, her eyes filled with distress.
Xu Qingmo hadn't taken care of herself for a long time. Hua Ying helped her trim her eyebrows, comb her hair, and twist her hair. When she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh: "So beautiful!"
This happened to be heard by Princess Zhengyang who came over: "Our family Mo Mo is naturally the most beautiful!"
Xu Qingmo stood up with a smile: "Why is sister-in-law here?"
"Come here and see if you have anything to help!" Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo and saw that she had packed up and turned back into the sister she was before going to the battlefield. She said with emotion, "I almost don't remember you. She looks like she’s wearing women’s clothing!”
