Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Li Shuyao "quacked" and...

Li Shuyao once again crossed her arms and sulked.

This time, even her favorite Qingyao couldn't be coaxed. In the end, Lingluo had to step in, and Tian Jiarou had to persuade her tremblingly, before Li Shuyao hummed and "generously" forgave Qingyao.

After Qingyao and Lingluo left, Li Shuyao directly collected the Analects of Confucius and calligraphy on the table and threw them all into the cabinet, intending to lock them in a small dark room for the night.

When he stood up, he caught a glimpse of Tian Jiarou's small package still lying alone on the ground.

As if she remembered something, she turned around and asked Tian Jiarou, "Did Aunt Lin arrange a room for you?"

Tian Jiarou hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Shuyao frowned and didn't quite believe what Tian Jiarou said.

She also discovered that the Tian Jiarou she met seemed different from the ruthless young female doctor who appeared later in the book.

The descriptions of the young female doctor in the book almost all use words like "deep eyes", "gloomy expression", "dangerous and cruel smile on the lips", "moody mood" and so on.

But in reality, the people you meet have timid eyes, hunched shoulders, and their actions are full of caution and careful flattery.

The little female doctor who turned evil is very scary, the kind of fear that makes people tremble just by reading the description in the book.

And the little female doctor before she turned evil...

Li Shuyao pursed her lips, feeling that she was a little bit pitiful, and it made people feel soft-hearted at the sight of her.

So she said to Tian Jiarou, "Then take me to see your house first."

Tian Jiarou was a little at a loss for a moment.

This morning, Nanny Lin only brought her here. Perhaps she had something else to do, so she just told her to "stay with Li Shuyao" and left.

Tian Jiarou thought that she had to follow Li Shuyao around the clock, even at night when she was sleeping, she had to stay in Li Shuyao's room in case she had any emergency needs at night.

But she didn't expect that Li Shuyao would suddenly ask where her house was.

She...she is here to serve Li Shuyao, can she also have her own room?

Tian Jiarou was a little bit unbelievable.

She remembered that when she first entered the palace, she was trained by a nanny in the Household Department with other palace maids. They slept in a room with more than 20 people, and each person had only a space the size of a bed.

When she later went to the Imperial Hospital, she also slept in a room with eight people.

But she was unlucky. The people she met who shared the same room with her didn't like her very much. They either drove her out of the house to keep watch at night, or directly occupied her bed and made her squat in the corner of the room to sleep.

Tian Jiarou has long been accustomed to it, and has even mastered the skill of falling asleep quickly with her knees hugged as long as she is facing a wall.

So...house, she can have a house too?

Li Shuyao didn't know what Tian Jiarou was thinking. Seeing her standing there for a long time without moving, she frowned and walked over to her and took her hand directly. Then she bent down to pick up the small package on the ground, held it in her hand and weighed it. It felt really light.

...Didn't she bring any change of clothes?

This question suddenly came to Li Shuyao's mind.

However, the issue of clothes is relatively easy to solve, but the issue of housing is urgent.

——She just came and followed him all day, so she definitely didn’t have time to clean the house.

It is almost dinner time now, which is two o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, it will be almost three o'clock.

She also had to go to the Imperial Household Department to get bedding and various daily necessities, and the round trip took another half hour, so she had very little time to clean the house.

If she doesn't hurry up, Tian Jiarou will have to sleep in a pile of dust at night.

Tomorrow I will become a dirty little female doctor.

How can I help her write big characters?

Li Shuyao directly pulled the person out of the door, released her hand, and pointed towards the courtyard, "Where is your room?"

Tian Jiarou stood there at a loss for a while, still not daring to lie to Li Shuyao, so she could only lower her head deeply.

Li Shuyao didn't wait for Tian Jiarou's answer. She looked at her curiously and saw a bunch of black hair shaking.

Although he is taller than her, he looks so weak and helpless at this moment.

——She looks even more pitiful than when she first crossed over.

Li Shuyao's soft-hearted nature suddenly struck again: "Don't you remember the way back?"

Tian Jiarou shook her head.

Li Shuyao asked again, "So Nanny Lin didn't take you there at all?"

Tian Jiarou shook her head again.

Li Shuyao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Tian Jiarou quietly raised her head and glanced at her, then timidly said, "Miss, can I sleep in your room tonight? I'm very well-behaved when I sleep and won't move around..."

Hearing this, Li Shuyao thought she wanted to sleep with him and was a little hesitant for a moment.

After all, Tian Jiarou hasn't taken a shower yet...

But her little bed was made clean and fragrant by her. If Tian Jiarou slept with her, she would have to change the bedding tomorrow!

But...but she doesn't know how to put on the duvet cover. Tomorrow it's Yueshu's turn to be on duty, and Yueshu doesn't have time to help her.

What should I do then?

Li Shuyao began to worry a little.

The next second, Tian Jiarou's voice suddenly weakened, and she almost whispered to her, "...You can also sleep in the outer room, in that corner. That corner is away from the wind, so it won't be too cold at night..."

"ah?"

Li Shuyao was shocked. "You're just sleeping on the floor?"

That's so hard.

Tian Jiarou shook her head and said, "I won't sleep. I can just squat."

Still squatting, do you think you are some little mushroom?

Li Shuyao's face quickly turned cold, "No!"

Tian Jiarou's heart trembled, and she said without holding on to any hope: "Then, I can just squat at the door..."

“No way!”

Li Shuyao puffed out her cheeks, the light in her apricot-shaped eyes brighter than a candlelight. "If someone else saw this, they'd think I was abusing you!"

She angrily pulled Tian Jiarou up and walked towards the housekeeper's room, saying as she walked, "You have to sleep in the room, on the bed, on the bedding, covered with a quilt, and with a pillow as your pillow. This is, this is your basic need as a human being!"

"Is this how the people from the Imperial Hospital bullied you before?"

"You wait, wait for Qingyao..."

At this point, Li Shuyao regained her senses in time and remembered that the emperor had secretly told Qingyao about the promotion.

The specific list of promotions has not yet been released.

Qingyao only told her, so she had to keep it a secret.

So she changed the subject immediately, "When Qingyao comes tomorrow, we'll discuss how to help you get rid of this anger!"

After saying that, he went straight to the nanny who managed the courtyard and found an empty room for Tian Jiarou that was neither too big nor too small and closest to her. The two of them worked hard for a long time and only managed to clean the room a little bit.

For the remaining areas, we need to bring several basins of water and wipe them one by one.

Li Shuyao's stomach growled a few times, and Tian Jiarou paused.

Li Shuyao: "..."

She had now naturally accepted the reality that she would occasionally make a fool of herself. She simply threw the cleaning tools in her hand, gave Tian Jiarou a very bright smile, and said in a very crisp voice, "I'm hungry!"

Tian Jiarou nodded stiffly upon hearing this, "I'll go serve dinner to the young lady right away."

"You don't need to go. We can just go to the kitchenette and eat together."

Tian Jiarou hesitated a little. Considering her status as a young lady...

Before she could finish her thought, Li Shuyao had already pulled her excitedly towards the small kitchen.

After the meal and filling their stomachs, the two returned to Tian Jiarou's cabin to tidy up.

When she finally finished tidying up and only needed some bedding and daily necessities, Li Shuyao was so tired that even her fingers were "dancing".

She simply hid back in her little room and waved at Tian Jiarou, "The emperor won't let me leave the courtyard, so you should go to the Imperial Household Department to get your things. Remember to go quickly and come back soon."

After saying that, he was about to close the door, but before closing it, he remembered something and suddenly opened the door again with a fierce look, calling out to Tian Jiarou who had already turned halfway around.

"Wait, wait a minute."

She rushed to the next room and called a palace maid who she had spoken to before and looked familiar. She stuffed a piece of silver into her hand and asked her to go to the Imperial Household Department with Tian Jiarou to prevent anyone from bullying her again!

The palace maid touched the silver in her hand and agreed with a smile.

The two of them returned quickly.

While Tian Jiarou was making the bed, Li Shuyao was taking a shower in her room.

When Tian Jiarou finished cleaning up her room and came to look for her, she... she was still in the bathtub...

His head lowered little by little, and the part below his nose was completely submerged in the water, gurgling and spitting out bubbles.

——He was so tired that he fell asleep and looked like he was about to drown himself.

*

The next day, Li Shuyao woke up from her bed in a daze.

Looking at the pink embroidered curtain above her head, she blinked slowly and stiffly, and then blinked again.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember how she got back to bed yesterday.

Isn't she taking a shower?

…How come she remembered that when she was taking a shower, the sun outside hadn't set yet.

How come the sun is back just by opening and closing my eyes?

Or is she dreaming?

Li Shuyao stretched out her hand in disbelief and pinched her own tender cheek hard with all her strength.

“Ouch, it hurts!”

So she wasn't dreaming, she really teleported from the bathtub to the bed!

...Or has she traveled through time again?

As she thought about it, she supported herself with her hands and sat up on the bed.

I lifted the curtain and looked carefully at the furnishings in the house. Then I found that it was very familiar. This was my house.

She would never make a mistake.

Tian Jiarou, who was outside, heard the noise and quickly came in to check. She smiled and said to Li Shuyao, "Miss, are you awake?"

"Young lady, please get up and wash up. I've already brought breakfast from the kitchen. Today, we have big meat buns, almost as big as my palm. I thought you might like them, so I brought back three of them, along with two bowls of shredded chicken porridge and some other side dishes..."

She read out a few more dishes, all of which were Li Shuyao's favorites.

Finally, she added, "By the way, I heard from the people in the kitchen that there will be braised pig's trotters in the afternoon dinner. Do you like it, young lady?"

"Yes, I like it! I love eating pig's trotters!" Li Shuyao nodded repeatedly in surprise.

I even forgot to explore whether I had traveled through time again.

Lift the quilt and get out of bed.

Unexpectedly, I heard Tian Jiarou's last words: "Then the young lady should finish memorizing the book and writing the big characters before dinner, and I will go get the pig's trotters for you, how about that?"

Li Shuyao croaked and lay back down.

…
