Chang Anqing

Chapter 128 In charge of internal affairs
In the early morning of the next day, Li Sui woke up before Nian Nu, who was on duty at night, woke up first. When he opened his eyes sleepily, Li Sui faintly heard the sound of the wind outside the window, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." Sitting up in the incense quilt, hearing the rustling in the room, Nian Nu who was outside quickly put on his clothes and called the maidservant to come in.

Seeing Li Sui sitting on the bed, Nian Nu nervously stepped forward and said, "It's still windy outside, so why did the Princess sit up? What if I catch a cold—"

Seeing Niannu who came up to him chattering as usual, and calling someone to help her get up to wash, Li Sui couldn't help smiling, and she bent her legs and raised her chin like a girl and joked: "Niannu, you are a little girl before you leave the cabinet." Housekeeper, you will have to marry into a general’s mansion in the future, so that your talent as a housekeeper will not be in vain—"

"Princess, you are out of shape again—"

Nian Nu's face turned red when she heard the words, and she was even more embarrassed to meet the bright eyes of her princess, so she could only give her a coquettish look, and then saw Yu Nu outside also took a sneak peek with a smile, and followed in serve.

"What time is it?"

Knowing that although Nian Nu was nagging, he was thin-skinned, so Li Sui stopped joking and let others wash his hands.

"Back to the princess, it's already three quarters."

While replying, Nian Nu handed a hot handkerchief to Li Sui and said, "It's cold today, and it was very lively last night. Why did you wake up so early and stop sleeping for a while?"

Li Sui took the hot handkerchief and dabbed it on his face lightly, then said with a smile: "Today is the day for our county princess to serve tea, how can I not get up earlier."

Seeing Li Sui's answer, Nian Nu immediately looked at Yu Nu with comprehension and said: "The princess is really kind to the princess, you just felt that the slave was a little nervous about you, why not you treat the lady like this?" like-"

Seeing what Niannu said, Li Sui smiled and said, "Well, everyone will make fun of me."

After that, Li Sui went to scratch Niannu's itch. Niannu wanted to hide, but he heard Li Sui pointing and saying: "Yu Nu, stop this girl quickly, don't let her run away."

After the words fell, Yu Nu caught Nian Nu with a smirk, letting Nian Nu be scratched to the point of being out of breath.

Accompanied by bursts of laughter, Li Sui had already changed into new clothes and went to Chaolu Courtyard. After the tea ceremony, he saw that he was wearing a green thread of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing a flowered cloud satin printed jacket and skirt, holding a pair of swords high. Baoying, half upturned, decorated with gilt silk inlaid treasures, double phoenix holding beads, flower tassel crown, walked in with Yang Yan, and met Li Sui's smiling eyes as soon as they entered, Baoying's fair and pink face was even more delicate For a moment, people couldn't tell whether it was the peony flowers on the forehead that made people beautiful, or the flowers made people beautiful.

"My son bows to Aye, Aunt—"

"Daughter-in-law pay homage to Aye, Aunt—"

Today, people from all the courtyards of the Hefu all dressed up formally and gathered in the house. At this moment, seeing the beautiful woman in front of him bowing to him, Yang Chongyuan smiled slightly on his calm and calm face, who was sitting beside him. He couldn't stop the smile from the corner of his eyes, and said again and again: "Get up quickly—"

Seeing Yang Yan gently supporting Baoying up, Li Sui saw that the smile on his lips became more relaxed. The next moment, with the rustling of the clothes, the maidservants had already brought tea. When the smiling people saw Yang Yan walking towards Baoying Ying nodded encouragingly, and someone couldn't help joking: "Look, in front of us, Mr. Erlang takes good care of our wife."

Hearing these words, Yang Chongyuan and his wife in the seat also smiled and didn't feel rude, but Baoying stepped forward to take the tea shyly, there was no mistake in serving the tea, on the contrary, the manner was gentle and decent, which made people feel beautiful.

Li Sui looked up, and saw that Mrs. Li was also very satisfied and smiled at Yinniang next to her. When Yinniang handed over the tray, Mrs. Li took out the brocade box decorated with pearls and jade, and opened it gently. , there is actually a pair of inlaid red gold and beaded bracelets inside, one can tell at a glance that it is a work of ingenuity, and I am deeply envious.

"This pair of bracelets was ordered by Si Zhenfang in the palace. Your lady is pretty, do you like it?"

Hearing Li's inquiry, Baoying glanced at the bracelet, suddenly felt amazed, and quickly nodded solemnly and said: "It's very delicate, it's a gift from Auntie, and my daughter-in-law will definitely cherish it."

With a smile, Li closed the brocade box, pushed it into Baoying's hand and said, "Just as long as you like it, just wear it if you like it."

"Aniang is eccentric, such a good thing is not for us."

Hearing Sanlang Yang Che's voice, as funny and amusing as before, Li's smile deepened. Seeing the third son in front of him who had become calmer and calmer since he went to Hongnong to see off his relatives, Li felt that Yang Che Xu Shi really grew up, and the unhappiness between mother and child that night seemed to disappear unknowingly.

"Don't you, a boy, still wear these?"

Mrs. Li responded with a smile, and then said: "When the third daughter-in-law passes through the door, I will make a good match. You are satisfied."

Seeing Yang Che shut his mouth when he heard the words, everyone just looked at it as embarrassed and smiled.

After Baoying personally took it and handed it to Hui Rong behind her, Li looked at the crowd with easy-going eyes and said, "It's quick in a flash, and Erlang also got married in a blink of an eye, and now I'm getting more and more tired——"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li looked at Baoying and said earnestly: "You should rest for a few days, and from the next day, you will share some of the burden, and let Yinniang serve you and take care of the house affairs for me temporarily."

Hearing this, the eldest wife Cao and the second wife Cui raised their eyes in surprise, but seeing that Li didn't see it at all, they just looked at the beautiful daughter-in-law in front of them and said: "I heard your mother say that you used to follow She has learned these things, so she doesn't need to worry, she can do whatever she wants."

Baoying was still a little confused when she heard the words, but seeing how Li Shi trusted her so much, how could she refuse, she quickly thanked her.

When the tea ceremony was over and everyone withdrew, Li Sui didn't care about Yang Yan who was following him, he just smiled and pulled Baoying to him and said, "Madam Madam, please lend me a while, don't argue with me."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yan watched them go away with a helpless smile. After entering the Wuzhu Garden, Baoying listened to Li Sui beside him asking, "How was Erlang treating you yesterday?"

Li Sui knew that Baoying had always been delicate and sensitive. Seeing that she lowered her head at this moment, her face blushed, and she seemed a little secretive. She was only worried that Yang Yan was a little strange when she was alone with her yesterday, so she couldn't help thinking about it.

While waiting, Li Suicai finally heard the person in front of him murmur: "He's fine, it's just that last night—"

Realizing that Baoying seemed a bit embarrassed, Li Sui couldn't help looking at Huirong inquiringly, but Huirong smiled and said, "Princess, you don't know, Madam suddenly sent a letter last night, and the Duke actually went to the yard in person. The small kitchen in the house made red dates, ginger juice, and purple sugar water for his wife, and ordered someone to add a soup lady to put it in the quilt to warm her abdomen. The servants wanted to help, but they couldn't intervene—”

Having said that, Hui Rong looked at her master with a silly smile, and Li Sui was also surprised and pleased. When she looked at Baoying, she couldn't hide her narrowness and said, "That's good. I drank Yu Nu Nian Nu and the others. Only you know what Erlang did—”

Seeing Li Sui leaning forward pointingly and teasing her with a smile, Baoying couldn't help but cover her mouth and said, "I knew you were going to laugh at me—"

"I remember that your days are not these two days, why?"

Seeing that Li Sui was slightly surprised, Hui Rong added: "I invited the doctor here today. The doctor said that the madam may be a little nervous these days. In addition, the gift is cumbersome and inevitably tiring than usual, so it will be a few days earlier. Take a good rest, take daily warming and recuperation, nothing serious."

Hearing this, Li Sui felt relieved, knowing that Baoying was thin-skinned, so he stopped talking, and sat beside her and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you, today I saw that my aunt wanted you to learn to run the mansion. Internal affairs, this is a good thing, you have always been smart, and now is a good opportunity to build trust and prestige in the mansion."

Baoying nodded when she heard the words, took Li Sui's hand seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely learn from A Niang."

Looking at Baoying with picturesque eyebrows in front of him, Li Sui knew that although she was a delicate flower, she was carefully raised by the Yang family. Coming here from thousands of miles away from home, it is inevitable to have the feeling of being dependent on others, so I will be careful in everything, pay attention to everything, and deal with those unprovoked disasters with a good attitude that more things are worse than less things.Now that she has settled down, she has become a legitimate wife of the county princess, and with the title of housekeeper, she has the strength to ride the wind and waves, so why not be able to get on the blue sky.

"Today I am going to enter the palace to accompany my sister, and my aunt agreed. You and I often communicate with each other these days. If I have time, I will go out of the palace to look for you."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying nodded, then called Hui Rong to come forward, opened the brocade box Li Shi gave her, pushed one of the bracelets onto Li Sui's wrist, and said, "You can rest assured , accompany Sister to give birth, I will only wait outside the palace for good news from Sister, and I will also wait for you to come back."

Looking at the wrist which is divided into four sections, inlaid with gemstones, with a petal-shaped buckle at the opening, and a living shaft, which can be opened and closed freely, Li Sui knew that Si Zhenfang must have spent extremely fine and ingenious thought on it. , to make this pair.

But no matter how precious things are, they can't compare to the friendship between her and Baoying.

"it is good--"

When Li Sui stretched out his hand to caress the evening bracelet and smiled at Baoying, the two had lunch together again, Li Sui then took the packed clothes, got into the carriage and headed for Daming Palace.

Hearing the carriage drive into Suzaku Street, there was gradually a din of people outside, Li Sui glanced at the tea that Nian Nu was making, and Yu Nu immediately poured a cup and handed it over comprehendingly, Li Sui rubbed his fingertips slightly when he took it It was as light as a falling feather on the lips and said: "What's going on outside the palace."

Hearing the words, Yu Nu naturally understood what Li Sui was asking, and only glanced at Nian Nu, who nodded and turned around, opened the car curtain to look at the driver outside, and then Yu Nu leaned closer to Li Sui's ear and whispered "If it wasn't for the master doctor's orders, then Mrs. Xie's fetus would have been unstable. Li Wei came to report yesterday that the woman would have died prematurely in at least half a month. They have taken care of everything according to your instructions, and they are waiting for our palace order."

Hearing Yu Nu's words, Li Sui nodded silently, but he had already put down the teacup in his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and his eyes became more and more like a waveless deep water.

She knew how dangerous what she was about to do was that if she failed to complete one step, she would not be able to complete the round.

But she also had to.

Success or failure depends on one action, no matter how difficult it is, she will go on safely.
