Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 210 Serious Injury Care
Concubine Xiao Huang picked and picked, but in the end she only fell in love with Mallow, and waved her hand to the grand lady, "Let Mallow stay, and send the rest to the palaces!"

Without the queen, the imperial concubine has the highest status in the harem. Even if you choose a palace man to stay with you, you have to stick to Changxin Palace. The imperial concubine picks the rest, and it will be the turn of other concubines pick.

The eldest palace maid led out the remaining palace servants.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was lying on her side, with one hand resting on her cheek, her eyes swept over Mallow's face from time to time.

"Have you served any master before?"

Mallow shook her head, "This servant used to be a member of the Shang Palace Bureau. Lord Shang saw the cleverness of this servant, so he gave this year's quota to this servant." As he said, he knelt down to thank him, "It is the servant's job to be appreciated by the imperial concubine and empress." pleasure."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui motioned her to get up, "As long as you are loyal enough, you will benefit from following Ben Gong."

"My servant thanked the imperial concubine for her kindness."

"By the way, how old are you this year?" Concubine Xiao Huanggui glanced at Mallow's face again. Although she was not very outstanding, she was calm and dignified. Her eyebrows and eyes were fairly clear. It was obvious that she had been well-trained. The people sent by the Shang Palace Bureau are no worse than those little maids who just entered the palace.

It's just that mallow doesn't seem to be young anymore, and she thinks she has been in the palace for many years.

"The servant girl is 23 years old this year." Mallow said calmly.

"23." Concubine Xiao felt slightly regretful, "In two years, you will reach the age to leave the palace!"

It's not that there are no maids in Changxin Palace, but she always feels that this man called Mallow is different from others. How can I say that this person has a kind of dignity and elegance that other court ladies don't have, and this kind of thing is just the impatience. What the concubine Xiao Huang lacked.

She wanted to keep this court lady, but she also wanted to imitate and learn by secretly observing.

It's just that she doesn't want to admit it in her heart. She used to imitate Empress Luo for a long time. In terms of beauty, she thinks she can't lose to Empress Luo. However, especially when she was reprimanded by the empress dowager when she secretly acted in the consort of Princess Yongchun's audition, the empress dowager specially compared her with that bitch Luo Lan, which made her hate that bitch to the bottom of her heart. But hate turns to hate, every time she sees Luo Lan, she will unknowingly imitate the words and deeds of the other party, and she also wants to charm the emperor's eyes through her whole body, and when she is overwhelmed, she realizes that she has done something wrong. What, she started to be jealous again.

On second thought, no matter how well-mannered Luo Lan is, she will still be taken off the phoenix crown and become an abandoned woman in the cold palace after all. She is nothing more than a slut. She would rather imitate a little-known court lady than a slut.

The mallow in front of her was quite what she wanted, "From today on, I will serve Ben Gong personally!"

The older palace servants in Changxin Palace listened in, sighed secretly, the entire harem knew about this imperial concubine's temper, and employed people with extreme caution, especially those who served her personally for two years. The above-mentioned second and third-class court ladies were slowly promoted by her, and Mallow, who just arrived, was directly promoted by the imperial concubine to serve by her side before doing anything. This honor is not something everyone can afford. of.

Therefore, with just one sentence, Mum Kui cast a lot of jealous eyes, just because the master was on top, it was a bit obscured, but she could really feel the dissatisfaction of those big palace ladies towards her.

The battles in the palace were never limited to the masters and masters, but also fiercely fought among the subordinates. It can be said that wherever there are classes, there will be battles, and they will never end. It is the innate instinct of human beings to step on other people's heads to climb up, for fame and profit.

After staying in this palace for a long time, Concubine Xiao could see things like this thoroughly. She glanced at Mallow lightly, and saw that she was standing upright. Both her complexion and eyes remained the same as when she first entered the palace. With a quiet appearance, she was not pampered because of being unconventional and supported by herself.

Very good, at least this first level, barely passed.

Waving at her, Imperial Concubine Xiao asked, "Can you comb your hair?"

Mallow nodded, "The servant has been trained in the inner court."

"I'm going to see the emperor in a while, how do you think you should dress, and how should you comb your hair?"

Mallow's eyes flickered slightly. Luo Lan was gifted to die as a deposed queen, so the palace did not have a great funeral. The concubines can still wear red and green, and wrap their bodies in brocade. However, "I heard that the emperor is in a bad mood recently. , I haven’t been to the court for several days, let His Royal Highness supervise the country, the empress should not dress up at this time, it’s better to be a little more elegant, and I will make you a single-screw bun!”

Hearing that Mallow said that the emperor was in a bad mood, Concubine Xiao's face sank again.

The reason why the emperor did this was not because of that bitch Luo Lan. Others might not know her, but she was clearly seen by others. The emperor secretly enshrined the bitch Luo's spiritual tablet in Yugan Palace.

She was given death because of her family's rebellion, so what is there for that bitch to deserve the emperor's heart and lungs for her?
She really wanted to pretend to celebrate the slut's happy death, but Mallow was right, it's not appropriate to add brocade and satin at this time, otherwise Long Yan would be furious.

Even if it wasn't to capture that man's heart, she should still consider her own position. As for feelings?Heh, she has long been disgusted by that pair of dogs and men who are inseparable from each other all day long. Now, the only thing she wants is the back seat.

"Then let's do it with a single snail bun!" Waving her hands tiredly, Concubine Xiao sat down in front of the mirror, and then ordered the eldest palace lady, "Bring me the light blue palace dress that I had made a few years ago. .”

Isn't it pure and elegant?With Xiao Mingxi dressed up, how could she be worse than that pretentious Luo bitch?

Mallow took the ivory comb from the tray, and gently combed Concubine Xiao's long hair.

Her movements were light and gentle, holding the strands of hair in her hands and combing them to her head one by one, without feeling any pain at all.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was very helpful, she could not help but learn from the attentive and careful look of mallow from the bronze mirror.

After putting on her makeup, it was almost time to pay her respects to the emperor. Concubine Xiao stood up and paused, "There is no need to prepare a guard of honor today. It is enough for Mallow to go with me alone."

The palace maid Fangruo's face turned slightly pale. In the past, the imperial concubine and concubine always took her to the Yugan Palace to pay her respects.

Mallow curled her fingers, and knelt down with a plop: "Forgive me, imperial concubine. Although the slaves have been trained in the inner court, they have never seen the holy face. Today, the slaves are new here, and many rules of Changxin Palace have not been written down. , to accompany the empress to greet the emperor, let sister Fangruo and the others go, the servants are worried that if they make a mistake, they will offend Longyan."

In fact, Fangruo is younger than Mallow, but in terms of seniority, Fangruo is an old man in Changxin Palace, and Mallow calls her "sister" by this.

After Fangruo listened, her distorted psychology was slightly corrected, and at the same time, she felt a little bit guilty, that she had served the master in this palace for many years, and her heart was not as good as that of a newcomer.The look in Mallow's eyes was no longer as red as before, but a little more appreciative.

There was no problem with what Mallow said, but the purpose of Concubine Xiao's plan to let Mallow follow her is to use her as a mirror and remind her of her words and deeds all the time, what if she doesn't go?
"It's okay, you don't need to enter the palace, just wait outside."

Having said that, Mallow had no words to refute, stood up, and gave Fangruo a guilty look.

Fangruo gave her a relieved look, expressing that he didn't hold her grudges for it.

"Let's go!" Concubine Xiao looked at herself in the mirror again, and after confirming that she was well-groomed, she beckoned to Mallow.

Mallow moved in small steps, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, Ying Luo, who was pressing her skirt, swayed regularly as she walked, every step seemed to be measured, but she didn't look stiff, as if she was born to walk like this.

Arriving at Yugan Palace, Mallow was indeed left outside. The moment she lowered her head, she glanced around the hall from the corner of her eye, and only saw two young eunuchs who had just walked out. It’s really worrying that I haven’t eaten since morning! If this continues, the dragon body will not be able to bear it sooner or later.”

The other answered, deliberately lowering his voice, "Who says it's not, since that person is gone, the emperor seems to have lost his soul, and he doesn't care about government affairs, what will happen in the long run!"

Did he... haggard so much?
Mallow's heart shrank, and a gleam of water flashed across her lowered eyes.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui also heard what the two said, she turned her cold eyes, and the two hurriedly shut up and came over to pay their respects.

"The emperor hasn't eaten yet?" Concubine Xiao's voice was somewhat depressed. If she hadn't been in the Yugan Palace at this time, she would have been furious. The impetuousness was suppressed a little bit, and he closed his eyes, "There is no need to report, I will go in and see the emperor."

The two father-in-laws looked at each other, moved aside and stood bowed.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

"I told you to go away, didn't you hear?" Emperor Yonglong lay on his side on the dragon couch with his back to the people outside, but he felt restless when he heard the footsteps. Anyone, even if they are too late, has been rejected repeatedly.

"Is this the emperor who doesn't even want to see me as a concubine?" Although Xiao Huang Guifei has a bad temper, her voice is naturally soft, and the words she speaks are delicate and soft.

Emperor Yonglong was most annoyed by her coming, and when he heard it, he became even angrier, "I didn't summon you, who asked you to come?"

Concubine Xiao Huang had a good temper, "I heard that the emperor is ill, so I came here to visit."

"I'm fine." Emperor Yonglong refused mercilessly.

"But the emperor has not gone to court for several days."

"I have already made a decree that within half a month, I will eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, and will not go to court."

Eating fast and praying to Buddha?This is filial piety in disguise, right?

Concubine Xiao Huanggui sneered in her heart, what irony, the majestic emperor of a country actually kept his filial piety for an unforgivable woman?

It's fresh enough for a man to be filial to a woman, not to mention that the one in front of him is a ninety-five-year-old.

The jealousy that had just been suppressed burned to the top of her head, but she didn't dare to explode, "I will accompany the emperor to eat fast and chant Buddha!" ​​She wants to see how persistent he can be.

"There is no place to live in Changxin Palace?" Emperor Yonglong's voice was as cold as an ice knife, with strong disgust.

Concubine Xiao Huang choked completely, her eyes turned red just right, "Your Majesty..."

"It's very noisy." Emperor Yonglong sat up, his cold gaze stabbed at her, "Get out!"

Concubine Xiao Huanggui hated secretly, even if she was dressed in his favorite style, he never looked at her twice because of it, does it really have to be that woman to move him?

"Your majesty is so worried, I don't feel at ease, why don't I leave a maid to serve Your Majesty in Yugan Palace!"

"I don't need it!" There was obvious impatience in the tone, so many palace people in Yugan Palace were not dead, Xiao obviously wanted to place someone beside him, so the intention should not be too obvious.

"It was just sent by the Shang Palace Bureau. She is careful in her work and cautious in her speech. Looking at her, she is somewhat similar to her elder sister. I thought the emperor would like it. Since I don't need it, I will resign now." " If it is not forced, I believe that no woman is willing to send another woman to her husband, even if she has long been disheartened by him.It's just... She couldn't restrain the anger in her heart. She thought that once Luo Lan died, he would be able to recover after two days. Can you expect him to remember Lihou?
Since he doesn't want to see her, he can only find someone he can barely see to be an insider, otherwise, if the stalemate continues, it will become a deadlock sooner or later.

Emperor Yonglong frowned, "What did you say?"

Knowing that Xiao Shi stepped in and wanted to find a substitute to control him, he still couldn't help but want to see that person, to be precise, he wanted to see Lan'er again, even if there was only a slight resemblance, just take a look at him from a distance just fine.

Seeing Emperor Yonglong's expression relax, Concubine Xiao hurriedly gave Fangruo a wink, and Fangruo quickly went out to call Mallow.

Unexpectedly, she would be named and interviewed like this. Mum Kui felt a little flustered, and looked at Fang Ruo in disbelief, "Is the imperial concubine really let me in?"

Fangruo patted her on the shoulder, "Probably I want you to serve the emperor. You don't know when you are new here. The emperor is because..." Whispered in her ear, "Because the death of the abandoned Empress Luo is causing great anger." , be careful about everything."

Even if she was a palace maid who had been with Concubine Xiao for many years, Fangruo had to admit that the former Empress Luo was the most irreplaceable in the emperor's heart, and no one would think it was a good job to serve the emperor, so she felt sorry for her. Mallow is full of infinite compassion.

Mallow gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll go."

Taking a deep breath, Mallow walked in with her head down.

The atmosphere in the inner hall was somewhat dignified, but she still felt a sharp and cold gaze piercing herself from the direction of the dragon couch at the first moment.

"Slave mallow, kowtow to the emperor." Without daring to raise her head, she knelt on the ground neatly, every movement and posture was just right.

Emperor Yonglong didn't see what the mallow looked like, and he lost interest after just a cursory glance. The flame of hope that had been ignited just now was extinguished in an instant. Only then did he suddenly realize that even if she really had the same face as Lan'er, she wouldn't be able to imitate the charm in Lan'er's bones. The other party's appearance is similar to Lan'er, so he has any thoughts about her.

What he loves is not that face, but that person, that heart, the wind, frost, rain and snow that he has gone through together in those years.

Seeing that Emperor Yonglong didn't buy it, Concubine Xiao was so angry that her internal organs were on fire. She dressed up in Luo Lan's style, and he immediately disgusted him. He sent a court lady who looked exactly like Luo Lan to him. He didn't even give a single glance. Could it be that he would react only if he really had to dig out the woman's bones and put them in front of him?

"Mallow, during the few days when the emperor is lying on the couch, you should stay in Yugan Palace and serve him personally!"

With a smile on her face, Concubine Xiao looked at the person kneeling on the ground.

Mallow's back visibly stiffened, her breathing was unsteady, "Slave..." was about to thank her.

"No need." Emperor Yonglong refused in a cold voice: "If the imperial concubine is free and has nothing to do, she might as well go to Longquan Temple to offer incense and pray for the country." These days, he really had enough of her. Turned against her already.

Concubine Xiao's heart cooled down inch by inch, for the sake of peace, he did not hesitate to drive her out of the palace in this way.

Having nothing to say, I thanked you perfunctorily, and walked out with Mallow and Fangruo.

When leaving the inner hall, Mallow couldn't help but turned around and glanced at the person on the dragon couch.

Those eyes were upright and firm, not stained with dust, but like a beam of lightning passing through the tunnel of time and space, it hit his heart directly.

"and many more!"

It was only after making a sound that he realized that he was distracted, and Emperor Yonglong secretly hated that he actually had different emotions towards women other than Lan'er.

Concubine Xiao's eyes flickered, she turned around and looked at Emperor Yonglong puzzled, "Is there anything else your Majesty wants to do?"

Emperor Yonglong looked over again, and saw that the maid had already lowered her head, where was the previous illusion?

Raising his hands to cover his brows and eyes, Emperor Yonglong said: "It's all right."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui glanced at Emperor Yonglong and then at Mallow, she couldn't see anything unusual, she just withdrew her thoughts and brought the two of them back to her bedroom.

-

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Yun Chuwei had been listening to such a coughing sound all morning, and her eyebrows were all knit together, "Qiqi, what's wrong with Master Jiu?"

Fang Qiqi withdrew her hand from Su Yan's pulse, gritted her teeth and said, "The prince's sword stabbed too deeply, and he didn't rest well later, and now the injury is getting worse, plus the wind and cold, I'm afraid More bad luck than good luck."

"Qiqi, you must find a way to save Lord Jiu." Yun Chu looked at the unconscious person on the bed with tears in his eyes. Since he woke up that day, he hasn't had a good rest and has been arranging for the Luo family. When it came to the follow-up matters in Guangping Mansion, she was seriously injured, how could she hold on, and she fell down again. After falling down, she never woke up again, but she coughed badly in her sleep. It hurts.

"Madam, I'm already thinking of a solution." Fang Qiqi's eyes were sore, but she didn't want Yun Chuwei to see her emotions, so she could only hold back, "Don't worry, I will do my best to save him."

Yun Chu had a sore throat, she opened her mouth a few times but was unable to speak, Fang Qiqi patted the back of her hand, "Senior brother is hard-pressed, why is he so fragile, don't be sad, you are going to give birth soon People, too much mood swings are not good, it will affect children."

Why didn't Yun Chuwei understand this, but Jiuye was so injured, why should she stay by the bed with a smiling face?She can't do it.

Seeing that she was so worried, Fang Qiqi said: "Go back to your room and rest for a while, I'll give you some soothing incense, you haven't had a good rest these few days, so you can't keep wasting like this, otherwise senior brother will wake up and know that I'm not Take good care of you and appoint me to blame."

"I can't sleep." Yun Chuwei wiped his face casually, sat down again, and gently held Su Yan's cold hand in his palm, "I'll stay here with him."

"If you're like this, something will go wrong sooner or later." Fang Qiqi pulled her, "Be obedient, go and rest for a while, even if you're not thinking about your brother, you should also think about your child."

Yun Chu leaned slightly on the edge of the bed, tears shed before he spoke, "How can you let me sleep with peace of mind when he looks like this?"

Worried on the one hand and regretted on the other, these few days have tortured her to the point of mental breakdown.

If she had known that letting Master Jiu assist He Lianjin would pay such a heavy price, she should not have cooperated with He Lianjin in the first place, let alone listen to him tell the truth about her past life.

What happened in the previous life is already in the past tense, what is she doing so carelessly?
"Jiuye." She clenched his hand again, and cried, "We agreed to name the baby together, but you haven't told me what name you've thought of, so don't just leave me like this , don’t leave me alone, okay?”

Fang Qiqi held back at first, but she burst into tears after being provoked by her like this.

"Wei girl." Qu Shi came in from the outside, and seeing this scene, she was even more heartbroken, but she understood her position, her daughter-in-law was already crying so sadly, if she, an elder, cried along with her, none of them would be able to it is good.

She leaned over and pulled Yun Chuwei up from the stool, "Obey, listen to your mother, go and rest for a while, and cry again after you've had enough sleep and regained your energy."

This is so nonsensical, but it makes sense when you listen carefully.

Yun Chuwei stopped crying, "Mother."

"Lao Jiu will be fine." Qu Shi held her hand, "He's just too tired, so he slept for a longer time, and he will wake up naturally after he recovers."

Yun Chu slightly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

She was guarded day and night and she was exhausted from crying, she was indeed tired, and after Qu's persuasion, she finally went back to her room and lay down on the bed unwillingly, Fang Qiqi followed her to give her some soothing incense, He watched her fall asleep with his own eyes before returning to Su Yan's side.

"Qiqi, tell me the truth, how sure is Lao Jiu that he will survive?" Qu stared at Fang Qiqi with burning eyes. In her eyes, there was the deep worry of the biological mother for her son, mixed with a trace of Fear of bad news.

"Madam." Fang Qiqi's face darkened, "I really don't know."

She didn't expect Su Yan to be hurt so deeply, let alone that the wound would be repeated. It's only because she didn't stay in the Duke's mansion to observe for a few more days when Su Yan woke up. responsibility.

"You can just tell me what medicinal materials you need." Qu Shi said, "We will find a way to get them."

Fang Qiqi really wanted to say that it wasn't a problem with the medicinal materials. It hurt her heart, and she lost too much blood. She could only warm her up, and she couldn't use strong medicine. Otherwise, a little carelessness would directly kill Su Yan. "Mrs. Don't worry too much, brother's heart pulse is normal, maybe... Maybe he can wake up in two days, I don't know."

These words were made by her blindly, the purpose was to reassure Qu Shi.

However, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and Su Yan actually woke up the next night.

Yun Chuwei was sleeping in front of the couch. Fang Qiqi gave her some soothing incense yesterday, and finally had a good sleep. Today, early in the morning, someone moved the soft couch to Su Yan's bed. If she is so guarded, if she is sleepy, she will lie down next to him. In this way, whenever he makes any movement, she will know immediately.

However, Yun Chuwei, who was pregnant with two, couldn't keep up mentally, and became sleepy after sitting for a long time, unable to support his eyelids, and fell asleep on the soft couch.

Su Yan stretched out his hand, still some distance away from the soft couch. He couldn't touch her face, so he really wanted to reach out and cover her with the blanket, but with a slight movement, the wound was painful, and cold sweat covered his forehead. He gasped for breath.

Unable to even cover her with a quilt, Su Yan felt a powerless sense of frustration.

However, looking at her peacefully sleeping face, he was satisfied after all, the corners of his chapped mouth were raised, and she was finally not stupid enough to keep an eye on her around the clock.

"Jiuye." At this moment, Yun Chu turned over slightly, speaking indistinctly, he couldn't hear the words behind, he only knew that she was calling him.

Su Yan endured the pain, lifted the quilt and stood up, picked up the blanket from the corner of the bed, spread it out and covered her body.

Just this one thing exhausted all his strength, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, his body couldn't stand still, he fell to the ground, the sound of bones touching the cold hard floor woke Yun Chuwei up from his sleep come over.

Seeing Su Yan fall, Yun Chuwei almost screamed out, she hurriedly got off the bed and helped him up, "Master Jiu, why did you fall to the ground?"

Su Yan didn't dare to rely too much on her who was pregnant, so she moved and sat on the edge of the bed, licking the corners of her mouth weakly, "I was not careful."

When Yun Chuwei saw the blanket on the soft couch, he immediately understood, and said angrily, "You too, if you can't cover it, you can't cover it. If you have to succeed, there is an earth dragon burning in this room, and it's warming up. I can’t freeze. It’s alright now, I finally woke up and let myself fall, the wound must be hurting again, right?”

"It doesn't hurt." He shook his head, leaned on her shoulder lightly and panted, the breath was so weak that it was abnormal.

"Come on, I'll help you lie down." She didn't want to look at him in a coma again, fearing that he would pass out from the pain again, her tone and movements were cautious, she supported his back and put him down little by little.

Because the wound was on her chest, it would be torn if she lay flat, so Su Yan could only lie on her side facing her. Although her face was pale, her phoenix eyes were full of doting smiles, "Wei Wei, talk to me!" He was afraid that if he fell asleep like this, he would pass out again in his sleep. At present, she is the only one who can support his eyelids with energy.

Yun Chuwei probably also understood, couldn't help feeling sad, and forced a smile, "Okay!"

"Master Jiu doesn't even know that there are a lot of people visiting our house in the past few days. Some of them give rattles, some give long-lived hundred-year-old lock collars, some give cloth tigers, and some give little padded jackets. Put all the stuff in the room I packed up for the baby, and in three months, you will really be a father."

Su Yan didn't speak, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at her without blinking.

In fact, He Lianjin's sword was enough to kill him, but a person was carved in his soul. Even if he reached the gate of hell, he dared not step in easily. He was afraid that if he left, she would be alone for the rest of his life, so he still lived in the end. coming.

Yun Chuwei also lay on his side on the soft couch, stretched out his index finger, and touched the tip of his index finger, "People say ten fingers connect to heart, I will connect my heart with Master Jiu's, if you want to leave , take me with you."

"Fool!" Su Yan laughed, "I haven't had enough time with you!"

Yun Chuwei sniffed stubbornly, "If you haven't lived enough, you will live a lifetime. Whoever dares to break his promise will completely forget about the other party."

"The most poisonous woman's heart." Su Yan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Who made you worry me over and over again?" Yun Chuwei's eyes were filled with resentment, "Have you ever counted how many times you have been injured and passed out in front of me since your wedding? If there is another time , and next time, I will be in a coma, and let you also taste the feeling of being frightened."

"My husband knows I'm wrong, Ma'am has a lot, so I will spare my husband this time, don't argue with me, okay?" He grabbed her hand with great effort, feeling the warmth from her palm.

It was a blessing to be able to wake up, and Yun Chuwei only talked about it, how dare he really blame him, "I'll forgive you for now, but I have to keep this account in mind, and I will settle it after you recover."

"it is good."

His obedient eyes made her laugh, "Is Master Jiu hungry? In order to prepare you for waking up at any time, the kitchen will re-cook the porridge every hour. If you are hungry, you can eat it right away." Eat it just out of the pan."

"You feed it yourself, and I'll eat it." He actually acted coquettishly.

Yun Chuwei recalled that time when he came back from a severe injury in the southwest, she fed him himself. In fact, this man is not as strong as outsiders think. He also has the most vulnerable and innocent side, and he can see Of these, she is probably the only one.

When the blood-enriching porridge was brought, she scooped up a spoonful and brought it to her lips to blow it cold before feeding it into his mouth, and said, "Swallow slowly."

Su Yan was so dependent on the feeling of being taken care of by her that he couldn't finish a bowl of porridge, so he ordered another bowl.
