Chapter 17 The Faithful Maid
Bai Shen repeated the story of how Ming Ruo taught Xiao Tuanzi to read history books. A light flashed in Si Haochen's deep eyes. It was like "using history as a mirror to know the rise and fall of the world". This is not just "teaching", it is clearly teaching the art of emperors. Whether it is medical skills or knowledge, Yan Mingruo gave him too many surprises.
Si Haochen snorted softly: "If Si Jue knew what he had missed, he would definitely regret it so much that his intestines were blue."
"The third prince regrets his marriage, and the emperor should have done it. Mobei just heard that Duke Jingguo returned to Beijing with his family and arrived around Yuexi Festival." Bai Shen felt that with the ambition of the third prince, he knew the news. Not to mention that Princess Qinghuang was ugly, even a pig would marry him back to the house in a hurry.
Bai Shen was also very strange. How did Princess Qinghuang’s ugly appearance come out? It is not an exaggeration to say that his princess is a stunning person in the world. How could he have the nerve to speak up if she is ugly? (Mingruo: Lord Bai, with your imagination, you can’t make up for the shocking bride makeup in this palace. I am afraid of the effect of shocking the world and crying ghosts, ahhhhhh).
"My princess is the only granddaughter of Duke Jingguo. My good brother has not accomplished his life with her. I am afraid he will not sleep at night in the future." A sarcastic smile appeared on Si Haochen's lips.
Bai Shen felt that Emperor Danxu's life was really not easy. When he was young, he fought with his brothers for the throne. After all the hardships, he sat on the dragon throne. His youngest brother was full of wings and transformed into a war god prince with heavy troops. Later, the princes from his family returned to Beijing to recuperate due to heart disease. The princes grew up again and began to win over the court officials to establish their own power, and were eyeing the throne...
Mingruo brought Xiaotuanzi back to Zhuyuan. The purple grass was having dinner, and the fragrance drifted out from the kitchen.
Mingruo sat on the corridor and found that there were small fish in the pond, so he asked Zi Su to take millet from the kitchen and throw it into the pond to watch the fish compete for food.
"Your Highness, Princess." A woman wearing a silver-red waist-length satin skirt walked slowly. She tied her hanging bun and was wearing beads and red gold agate on her hair. Her outfit was not worse than that of an ordinary lady.
This person looks the same as Ji Xue in his mind, but in the original owner's memory, the maids accompanying him are very simple. Ming Ruo frowned slightly: "Where are the others?"
Ji Xue lowered her head, looking aggrieved and annoyed: "They heard that His Highness was gone, and they all went back with Madam Yu."
Mingruo was very calm, and it was normal for 'the tea to be cold when people left'. Mingruo remembered another close maid: "Has Jiyue left with them?"
Ji Xue was stunned for a moment: "Sister Jiyue... she left too..."
All of them left, only Ji Xue stayed, so he was very loyal.
But Mingruo is unwilling to be too close to the original owner's old friend. She can stand the test on the outside, but her core inside is changed. Many of her little habits are different from the original owner, which is easy to arouse suspicion.
The identity of Princess Qinghuang has to be used again, but I dare not destroy my character now.
"Zi Su, take Ji Xue down to settle down." Ming Ruo thought for a while, "Remember to tell Butler Zhou that there are people in our yard."
"Don't worry, Princess, I will make arrangements." Zi Su took Ji Xue down.
Mingruo pinched the bridge of his nose and turned his head to see a thrilling scene - Xiao Tuanzi was lying on the railing halfway, trying to reach out to catch the fish.
She quickly carried the back collar of Xiaotuanzi and kept him away from the pond. The small pond was not deep, but it was still very dangerous for a young child: "Be careful to fall into the water."
"Xuan'er is not afraid, Xuan'er can swim." Xiao Tuanzi patted his chest.
Mingruo rolled his eyes: "You are not afraid, can I be afraid?"
If Xiao Tuanzi fell into the pond under her nose, Si Haochen would not have to peel her skin.
To be safe, Akiruo brought the little dumpling into the house and taught him to play Goji. Soon, dinner was ready.
Xiao Tuanzi praised pineapple Guru Po and Gong Bao Chicken Ding. Xiaoxiao ate a whole bowl of rice alone. Mingruo was afraid that he would have indigestion, so he stuffed a bottle of hawthorn pills for Madam Jin and told her to give Xiao Tuanzi one when she went back.
Mingruo asked Zicao to fill some pineapple pastry and took it back to Xiaotuanzi.
The child felt sleepy when he was full. Xiao Tuanzi lay on Madam Jin's shoulder, her little head was bit by bit, and she looked cute. Seeing Madam walking to the door, Xiao Tuanzi tried hard to open her eyelids: "Mother, Xuan'er is out of school tomorrow and will come to pay tribute to you."
This little dumpling is not a blessing to herself, but she is thinking about the meals and snacks here: "Remember to bring some books."
"Yeah." Xiao Tuanzi nodded and fell asleep completely.
Mingruo walked to the backyard and happened to see the red rooster who was disturbing his dreams in the morning pecking at the side of the small vegetable garden.
Mingruo bent down and said earnestly: "Dahong, if you are not dawn tomorrow morning, you will have a chick and eat one chicken three times - chop the chicken head and chicken feet and stew the soup, chicken breasts make fried chicken chops, and the rest will be made into a fried little rooster. What do you think?"
Zicao was a little surprised when she heard the princess talking to a chicken. If it could understand, wouldn’t it become a sperm? The red rooster, who was originally pecking at food seriously, paused for a moment, and then walked towards the chicken coop in a leisurely manner.
Mingruo was also bored for a moment, so he said casually, so he naturally didn't expect the arrogant rooster who had been worshipped by Prince Yun to be obedient.
Mingruo woke up naturally the next day, rubbed his eyes and sat up from the quilt. Zi Su and Ji Xue came in and served Mingruo to wash. Mingruo looked at the sky and was already seven or eight o'clock, and planned to continue running in the backyard. As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he heard a loud oh.
"Uh..." Ming Ruo thought that this big red did not disturb people's dream this morning.
This chicken that worshipped Prince Yun was indeed unique.
Ming Ruo ran to the fence excitedly and said to the singing red rooster, "Well, I performed well today, I will add a chicken leg for you for lunch!"
"Oh..." Dahong seemed to be strangled by someone, and the next 'Oh' was stuck, and he suddenly felt that it was difficult for a chicken to have a child.
"Ahem... it's not adding chicken legs. Sorry, the tongue is wrong." Mingruo was actually surprised. Dahong seemed to really understand what she said.
Mingruo quickly instructed Zi Su to find a servant to dig some earthworms and feed them to Dahong, and then ran away.
She was afraid that she would run slower, so Dahong was pecked.
After breakfast, Mingruo planned to go to the study to make some commonly used pills and powders. After all, she knew very well that the medicinal materials placed in the study had been checked.
Their Mingjia has professional methods to pack medicinal materials, and each category of medicinal materials will be different. Unless the other party carefully folds them according to the original traces, she can see them at a glance.
