Bai Heng picked up Huaiyu and let her sit on his strong arms. He said expressionlessly: "County Master, it's getting late. You should go home."
Huaiyu was so angry that he kicked him: "Brother bad guy, I never want to see you again or play with you again."
Bai Heng was helpless and took Huaijin into his arms again, taking the two of them home.
Princess Mansion.
Bai Heng brought the two children into the house. The two children fell asleep on his shoulders and were picked up by the wet nurse.
In the past, when they came back from the palace, the eldest princess would greet them personally.
Bai Heng asked the nanny one more time: "Why don't you see the eldest princess today?"
The wet nurse answered him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Your Highness, she has lost her appetite recently, has been dreaming and lethargic, and she hasn't gotten up yet. If your Majesty wants to see the princess, please go into the house with your slave and wait."
Bai Heng raised his eyes and looked at the sky. The sun was already three o'clock in the sky, and the sun was high in the sky. Although the sunrise was late in winter, it was estimated that it was already past noon, but the eldest princess did not wake up.
Really weird.
You must know that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the prince-in-law. In previous years, she would have been too busy to turn the clock at this time, making the princess mansion full of joy. Moreover, the eldest princess, like other members of the royal family, has a self-discipline habit of getting up early, so how could this happen? Sudden……
Bai Heng: "No need, I'm busy with official duties. I'd like to say hello to His Highness on my behalf."
After that, he strode away with his guards.
It wasn't until the ugly moment that Zhaohua slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Recently, she had frequent nightmares, and when she woke up she had a splitting headache. The maids and women brought water into the house to serve her. She rubbed her eyes, frowned and looked at the sky outside the window: "When is it now?"
Aunt Dong replied: "Princess, it is past the time to be ugly."
Zhaohua was dizzy: "Why did you sleep for an hour longer today than yesterday? Just prepare dinner, wait for the prince-in-law to return home, and then draw up the guest list for the banquet the day after tomorrow and give it to me."
Huaijin and Huaiyu woke up not long after being sent back to the house by Bai Heng. When they learned that their mother had gotten up, they wiped their sugar-stained mouths, ran into Zhaohua's bedroom, and threw themselves into her arms:
"Mother!"
Zhaohua asked about the sweetness on their bodies, with a deliberately dark face: "Master Bai bought you candy again?"
Huaijin confessed honestly: "My sister and I only ate a small flower and nothing else."
When Huaiyu heard Bai Heng's name, he said angrily: "Huh, next time I want uncle to find someone else to play with us."
Zhaohua touched his beloved daughter's head and said with a smile, "Why did Mr. Bai offend you?"
This girl's temperament completely followed hers. At a young age, she was overbearing, indulgent, and difficult to coax. She also liked to be close to good-looking people. Bai Heng took care of Huai Yu for her, and was naturally tossed by Huai Yu.
Huaiyu told what happened in the downtown area.
The smile on Zhaohua's face slowly faded, and she asked Huaiyu again and again: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Is that woman really the Shang family?"
Huaiyu: "Shang has taken care of me and my brother for so long, how could my daughter admit her mistake?"
Aunt Dong was shocked: "Princess, wasn't this Shang sent to Zhuangzi, the furthest place from Beijing, by you? How could he show up in the busy city so early?"
Zhaohua asked the two children to stay. She rubbed her eyebrows and was confused: "They are just a maid, so don't worry about it. Has the one from Changle Palace accepted my post?"
Zhaohua has been feeling sorry for herself since the last incident, but she is not someone who gives up easily.
The invitation sent to Changle Palace was written by her personally to Zhu Sijia. She only hoped that she could attend the birthday party of the prince-in-law in the future, and Zhaohua would settle the feud with her by then.
Aunt Dong shook her head: "Empress Zhaoyi said she will not come this year. As you know, His Majesty has not been doing well recently. She has to accompany His Majesty in the palace."
Zhaohua sighed: "I know."
Zhu Sijia refused to come, and wanting to take care of Yan Xiu was just a facade. The most important thing was that she refused to forgive her.
Zhaohua was in a depressed mood and planned to go to the palace in person to seek apology from Zhu Sijia on another day.
Aunt Dong asked her again: "Princess, you are not in good spirits today. Can you call the doctor again to check your pulse?"
When Zhaohua first developed this symptom, Aunt Dong thought she was pregnant again, but her efforts were in vain.
"No, I've always said that I'm fine, so why should I care?" Zhaohua stood up to change clothes, "There are many things in the house, so let's put these small things aside for the time being. The Marquis's birthday banquet is the top priority."
…
On the day of the birthday banquet of Marquis Guangping, because Zhaohua was powerless during this period and did not personally manage it, the style of the banquet was much more deserted and depressing than last year.
Yuan Haoyu recovered from his injuries and came to the door in person with gifts. Even the gifts prepared by Yan Xiu and Zhu Sijia were brought by him.
In exchange, the Marquis of Guangping still gave him a cold look on his face and left in a puff of his sleeves.
Yuan Haoyu chuckled. Anyway, the purpose of his coming today was not to celebrate the birthday of Marquis Guangping. He placed the gifts casually and asked someone to lead the way to Zhaohua Courtyard.
As soon as Zhaohua drank a cup of medicine that was so bitter that it scratched his throat, Yuan Haoyu greeted him respectfully outside the door: "Master."
"How many times have I told you this?" Zhaohua looked coldly and asked the maid in the room to leave. "That's it, come in."
Yuan Haoyu entered the room calmly, and the smell of medicine in the room hit Tianling Gai directly. He was heartbroken, but he could only restrain himself: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhaohua put down the medicine bowl: "What other discomforts can there be? It seems that the old habit left on the battlefield has returned. Coupled with the burning of the earth dragon, it is inevitable that I will be sleepy, but it will not hinder me."
Yuan Haoyu cursed in a low voice: "To take care of someone to this extent is a waste of being a husband."
After he said this, Zhaohua looked at him calmly and calmly, without any fluctuation in his eyes - this was really strange. In the past, when he scolded Marquis Guangping, Zhaohua would always scold him immediately.
Yuan Haoyu: "Master, do you have something to tell your disciple?"
Zhaohua: "You are still smart. After today's banquet, you can do something for me."
She spoke concisely in Yuan Haoyu's ear.
Yuan Haoyu was furious when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and wished he could feel Zhaohua's pulse in person, but he was always worried that Marquis Guangping would suddenly come over. He asked Zhaohua sadly: "Master, has half of your internal strength really disappeared? "
Zhaohua looked ashen and nodded: "If I can still go into battle to kill enemies and gallop on the battlefield as before, why bother you to do such a small thing?"
Yuan Haoyu held back his tears: "I understand, disciple... minister, please retire first."
Before he stepped out the door, Zhaohua stopped him again and hesitated: "General Yuan, if I remember correctly, you are already twenty-three years old this year and it is time to get married."
Yuan Haoyu did not look back. He answered her firmly: "If the world is not at peace, why should we take care of our family?"
Zhaohua: "How was the investigation of the Qi family royal family case?"
Yuan Haoyu: "I'm sorry to bother you, Princess, but Master Fu took me to the scene dozens of times, digging three feet into the ground, but we didn't find any clues."
Zhaohua: "That's all. As a woman, I shouldn't interfere with these matters. Just remember the tasks I gave you, but remember not to act impulsively. You must ask my opinion first on everything."
