Not far behind him, the Minister of Household Affairs was still looking here eagerly, with words written all over his eyes: Is it over? Is it over?
Although he was very resentful, he didn't dare to come up and ask. After all, if he offended his immediate boss to death today, his life in the household department would not be easy in the future.
Mrs. Lin naturally saw it. The Minister of Tobe walked back and forth several times, his eyes peeking here from time to time, and he would sigh heavily every time he looked at it.
This is too obvious, for fear that others will not know that he is anxious,
She looked away, her eyes as soft as water fell on Yu Xiheng's face, she pursed her lips and gave a slight smile, "Okay, go back quickly, that adult has been waiting for you for a long time."
The soft but not dazzling eyes fell on her soft and charming cheeks, and what came into view were those loving eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
Juanjuan could feel that the air around him seemed to be silent.
She showed a knowing look and closed her eyes subconsciously.
Usually at this time, dad and mom will start kissing.
After a while, the kiss she expected did not appear. Yu Xiheng raised his other hand and gently touched Lin's cheek with the hand soaked in the fragrance of the book's pen and ink.
He lowered his head, with a hint of helplessness and reluctance in his smile, "Okay, go back slowly and take care of yourselves."
Mrs. Lin nodded, then urged him, "Go quickly, don't make people wait too long."
Yu Xiheng took a deep look at the two of them, imprinting their faces in his heart, then handed the scroll to Mrs. Lin, then turned and walked towards the Minister of Household Affairs.
The warm fingertips seemed to be still stained with the scent of incense commonly used at home, which was a sense of peace of mind that he had not smelled for several days.
When the Minister of Household Affairs saw that he had finally come back, he was overjoyed and ran after him with a smile on his face, "Sir, have you finished chatting with Madam?"
Yu Xiheng's face was cold: "Well, let's continue."
"okay!"
After a while, Mrs. Lin took Juan Juan back to the rockery pile in the Imperial Garden.
Juanjuan shouted softly while searching, "Sister Ying, sister Ying..."
Soon, a little head wrapped tightly in cloth emerged from behind the innermost stone, "I'm here."
She stuck her head out and took a look. Behind the two of them was an unknown person. After looking at them warily for a while, she finally got out.
She thought it would take a long time, so she found the deepest place and planned to have a good sleep. She didn't expect to be back so soon.
"We're leaving~"
"Oh, okay."
She walked slowly to Lin's side, lowered her head and tugged at the corners of her clothes. She was thinking about the scene where Lin was dressing her and wrapping her hair.
In a trance, Lin's hand gently rubbed her head.
After knowing that the imperial concubine relied on the child's blood to maintain her beauty, she felt even more pity for the child.
She explained: "This is Aunt Cuizhu, who helped us get out of the palace."
It was impossible for Mrs. Lin to take a child out of the palace in a big way, and she didn't have the ability. So she just went to see the eldest princess and only said that this was the child of a palace maid and a guard. Because she was afraid of being discovered, she begged her to send the child out of the palace.
She had heard the palace maids who liked to join in the fun talk about these things about palace maids and guards messing around when she was still in the palace, so she didn't think much about it. Moreover, the eldest princess was happy to do this kind deed and wanted to repay Juan Juan's kindness in saving her, so Let Cuizhu come over.
Cuizhu's eyes fell on the girl.
With an unusually pale complexion, a thin face that was out of shape, and dusty dirt on his face, his eyes kept avoiding looking directly at her. It looks like someone who has been hiding for a long time in fear of being discovered.
She nodded secretly in her mind, then smiled kindly and said, "Let this child hold the slave's hand, and the slave will escort you and Miss Juan Juan out of the palace."
While holding the little girl's wrist, Cuizhu thought in a daze that he was holding a stick with bark.
She sighed in her heart, look at how unruly those in this deep palace will suffer when giving birth to a child.
It was so small and as thin as a fire stick, and she was afraid that it would break if she applied even the slightest force.
Arriving at the gate of the palace, Cuizhu put the three of them into the carriage. She stood beside the carriage. Mrs. Lin poked her head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Aunt Cuizhu, please go back quickly."
She smiled and nodded, but didn't turn back until the carriage was out of sight.
About half an hour later, the concierge at the door of Shangshu Mansion was the first to see his carriage. The two of them quickly opened the door and greeted it eagerly.
The driver pulled the reins and the horse stopped.
The porter helped hold the footstool and said with a smile: "Madam and young lady are back."
Lin got off the carriage first, nodded and smiled, "Yes."
She opened the curtain and took Juan Juan down, followed closely by Ying as she got out of the carriage.
When the concierge saw this strange little girl, he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask more questions. Mrs. Lin smiled and explained to them, "Her name is Ying, and she will live in the house for a while in the future."
Several people's eyes fell on her, and then the concierge nodded with understanding.
Seeing how thin this girl is, she must have been rescued by the madam doing good deeds.
The concierge greeted them in a friendly manner and sent them in.
Caichun and Caiying also came over, and naturally heard what Lin just said.
"Madam, do you want to clean up a yard for the girl?"
Lin thought for a moment, "Let's tidy up the Qingzhu Garden next to Wanrou."
After finishing her words, Ying raised her eyes and looked at her carefully, then whispered: "I don't want a yard, I want water..."
Her voice became quieter and quieter, and you couldn't hear her clearly unless you listened carefully.
"Water?" Caichun was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Girl, do you want to take a bath? There is hot water in the yard."
Ying shook her head quickly, "No hot water, no hot water!"
If you add hot water, it will become fish soup.
Juanjuan pulled Lin's clothes and said softly: "Mother, can you let sister Ying live with me~"
Her yard is huge and there is a small pond in it.
Hearing this, Ying also looked at Mrs. Lin eagerly.
Juanjuan knew her identity, so it was safest to live with her.
Of course Mrs. Lin agreed, and she had someone move an exquisite little cave to Zhaixingyuan. No matter whether she was sleeping or not, the formality had to be maintained.
In Star Picking Garden, only Juan Juan and Ying were left inside.
As soon as the person left, she took off the cloth wrapping her hair, letting her blue hair fall down, and then jumped directly into the small pond.
The moment they enter the water, human legs turn into bright fish tails.
Juan Juan was sitting by the pond looking at her with a plate of snacks in his hands.
After swimming around, Ying returned to Juan Juan and lay down on the edge of the pond, with a wanton smile on his thin face, and his eyebrows seemed to be alive.
"I haven't encountered such clean water in a long time."
