Jiang Shu, who was already curious, became more and more curious after hearing what Yu Zheng said, and urged Yu Zheng to open it quickly.
Yu Zheng curled his lips and smiled, and opened the brocade box under Jiang Shu's burning gaze.
A yellow peace charm lies quietly in the box, light and heavy.
"This is... a peace talisman." Jiang Shu was slightly surprised, completely unexpected.
"Yes." Yu Zheng reached out and took it out, then put it into his arms skillfully.
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes flashed slightly, and she asked with a bit of confusion: "Mother, my concubine, gives you a peace talisman as a birthday gift every year?"
This is really unique.
Yu Zheng nodded and explained: "Ever since I was assassinated when I was thirteen years old and almost died, my mother-in-law will give me a peace charm on my birthday. This happens every year."
Finally, Yu Zheng said: "This peace talisman was obtained by my mother and concubine from the Huguo Temple."
When Jiang Shu heard this, he understood instantly.
This is not a symbol of peace, it is clearly the heart of a loving mother.
Although Concubine Yu is doted on the Sixth Palace and is extremely noble, when it comes to her children, she is just an ordinary mother, and she only hopes that her children will be safe and sound.
"Concubine Mother is interested." Jiang Shu is pregnant now and can especially understand Concubine Yu's mood.
Yu Zheng understood. He pursed his lips and said, "She is in the palace and I am outside the palace. Only by wearing her can I feel at ease."
The two were talking in the inner room, and Tan Yu whispered outside: "Your Majesty, Princess, it's time for lunch."
"Let's go." Yu Zheng put down the empty box and led Jiang Shu to the outside room to eat.
With the lesson learned in the morning, Jiang Shu did not dare to be willful again during lunch and just ate most of the bowl of rice.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Yu Zheng took a nap with Jiang Shu for half an hour.
Not long after the two got up, Zhuiyun came to report: "Master, Master Zhou is here."
Zhou Bo sequence?
After Yu Zheng heard this, he spoke to Jiang Shu, got up and went to the study.
Jiang Shu lazily leaned on the soft couch, picked up a book and read.
After watching for a while, Jiang Shu suddenly felt anxious and hurriedly got up to go to the toilet.
When she returned to the house, Yu Lan and Sun Yijun were sitting at the table in the outer room, looking at her with smiles.
Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "When did you come?"
Yu Lan said: "Not long after I came here, A Zheng wrote a letter saying that you are pregnant. It happened that A Zheng's birthday was today, so I thought I would come and see you and celebrate A Zheng's birthday."
Jiang Shu looked at Sun Yijun, wondering how she and Yu Lan got together.
"It was crowded and lively. Yijun happened to be looking for me today, so he came together." Yu Lan explained.
"That's great, I'm just bored." Jiang Shu smiled heartily and told Chu Yushuanghua to prepare some fruit and some tea.
It was cold in winter. In order to drink hot tea at any time, Shuanghua made a small red clay stove, filled a purple clay teapot with boiling water and tea leaves, and put it on the stove to cook.
Looking at the pine nuts, walnuts and fruit cakes on the table, Sun Yijun said: "In winter, you should eat sugar-roasted chestnuts."
When Jiang Shu heard this, he quickly asked Tan Yu to order someone to buy it.
"By the way, I'll buy some candied haws on a stick."
Sun Yijun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You still understand me."
Candied haws on a stick and candied roasted chestnuts are not rare, but as ladies, they have to pay attention to the rules in food and clothing, and they are not allowed to be gluttonous.
"I really envy you. There is neither parental restraint nor in-laws control. You can do whatever you want." Sun Yijun looked envious.
She will marry to Prince Rong's Mansion in March next year. Although Prince Rong and Princess Rong are gentle people, they still have to control her a little, unlike Jiang Shu who is as comfortable as Jiang Shu.
Of course, Sun Yijun is also very content. Compared with other big families in Shangjing, Prince Rong and his wife are already very good.
Sun Yijun reached out to get some snacks. Jiang Shu smelled the sweet fruity fragrance wafting from the bracelet on her wrist and said in surprise: "Did you change the fragrance beads?"
When she gave it to her before, the fragrant beads in the bracelet were of floral scent.
"Well, I like fruity scents." Sun Yijun turned the bracelet on Hao's wrist and said happily, "This bracelet is so wonderful that I don't even need to wear the sachet."
Jiang Shu's gift won her heart deeply.
"As long as you like it." Jiang Shu was also very happy.
The three of them drank tea and snacks and chatted, feeling comfortable, relaxed and happy.
By the time the servants brought back the candied haws and candied chestnuts, the three of them were half full.
However, Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun swallowed at the same time as they looked at the candied haws, which were red in color and as translucent as rubies.
The two of them each took a bunch and couldn't wait to bite off one to taste.
Crispy on the outside and sandy on the inside, sweet and sour. When Jiang Shu swallowed it, he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but eat one piece after another.
"That's the taste. It's so delicious." Sun Yijun's cheeks were bulging, his eyes were half-squinted with a satisfied look on his face.
Jiang Shu saw Yu Lan peeling chestnuts but not eating candied haws, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you eat it, sister?"
Yu Lan said: "I don't like to eat sour food, but Yun'er likes to eat roasted chestnuts. I'll peel some and keep them for him."
Today is Yu Zheng's birthday, so she will stay at the palace for dinner, and Zhuang Yun will definitely come after school.
"It will be a while before Yun'er goes to school. Sister, let's eat some while it's hot." Jiang Shu said, biting off another candied haws.
This winter, it was the first time for her to eat candied haws.
This thing is neither rare nor expensive, and she didn't like it much in the past years, but today, she felt it was delicious for no reason.
Seeing that Jiang Shu was eating happily, Yu Lan poured her a cup of hot tea, and placed a plate of chestnuts she peeled in front of Jiang Shu.
"Drink some tea and eat some chestnuts. You should not eat hawthorns if you are pregnant. Just eat two to relieve your cravings. If you really want something sour, eat oranges."
"Thank you, sister." Jiang Shu was a little flattered and quickly put down the candied haws in his hand.
In the past, if Yu Lan peeled chestnuts for her, she would never dare to eat them.
But today is different from the past. Now they are a family, and they are much closer invisibly.
Sun Yijun took a sip of tea, then bit a piece of fruit into his mouth. He stared at Jiang Shu and said, "They say sour children are hot girls. If you are so fond of being sour, you must be pregnant with a young prince, right?"
While eating chestnuts, Jiang Shu was startled, looking at the candied haws on the table, hesitantly.
After Sun Yijun reminded her, she realized that her taste had changed due to pregnancy.
Finally, she looked at Yu Lan opposite and asked, "Did sister feel sad when she was pregnant with Yun'er?"
Yu Lan thought about it for a moment: "Fortunately, I'm not very happy. This is just a statement and cannot be taken seriously."
"Yes, Yijun also likes to be sour." Jiang Shu suddenly understood and stopped thinking about it.
Sun Yijun: "..." Is it wrong for her to like sour food?
The dwindling sun set little by little as the three chatted.
The door to the study room opened, and Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu came out.
"Master, the eldest princess and Miss Sun are here to talk to the princess in the main courtyard." Zhuiyun reported softly.
Zhou Boxu, who was walking out, stopped when he heard this.
The sky has darkened, Yu Lan and Sun Yijun have not left yet, they must stay for dinner.
Zhou Boxu thought about it in his mind and remembered what day it was. He looked sideways at Yu Zheng and said, "Is there a banquet at the palace today?"
Yu Zheng didn't like lively chats and never entertained guests on his birthday in previous years, so Zhou Boxu didn't take it to heart. He came to Yu Zheng purely for official business.
Yu Zheng glanced at him and said quietly: "No banquet, just a few relatives and friends."
Zhou Bo prefaced: "We grew up together, so we can be considered close friends, right?"
Yu Zheng looked at him and suddenly smiled.
After many years of elm, he finally got the idea.
