Chapter 53: Not letting my sister enter the ancestral hall?
Pei Yanli fainted, not because of chickenpox, but because of heatstroke.
Cheng Shuyi brought him back to the Cheng residence and found a doctor to see him.
As the sun set, Pei Yanli slowly woke up.
He was lying on his bed in the west wing of Cheng's house.
He was shirtless, and his two children were also on his bed, one sitting on either side, gnawing on a large chicken leg in their hands.
The daughter was probably too worried about him and stayed very close to him.
The oil dripping from the chicken leg splashed onto him and flowed along the grooves of Pei Yanli's abdominal muscles.
"father?"
When the sister saw that he woke up, she was so excited that she pressed the chicken leg directly on him.
Then, a slick hand touched his forehead.
Pei Yanli found it heartwarming and funny.
"Shuyi, Dad is awake--" the brother turned around and shouted outside the door.
Cheng Shuyi secretly took medicine in his room in the east wing.
I've been working so hard on the new shop for the past half month that I can't take it anymore and my stomach is aching all the time.
She felt nauseous every time she smoked and her appetite decreased significantly.
“Here it comes—”
Cheng Shuyi took the painkillers and when he was leaving the room, someone knocked on the door.
She went to open the door.
There were two people wearing pink dresses, maids and white veils standing at her door.
Standing at the bottom of the steps was Sheng Tinglan, dressed in gorgeous clothes and jewels.
Sheng Tinglan also wore a veil.
Not far away was the carriage of the Regent's Palace.
Before Cheng Shuyi finished her glance, the maid in front of her shouted at her.
"How dare you! You don't even kneel down before the Regent's Concubine!"
Let her kneel down to Sheng Tinglan?
As if she were illiterate!
During the Great Sheng Dynasty, common people not only knelt unconditionally before the emperor, but also bowed and knelt before civil and military officials only when they were doing serious business.
And he was kneeling in the official uniform that symbolized the majesty of the court.
Sheng Tinglan was just a concubine in the royal palace, with no honors or imperial edicts.
Apart from the servants in her courtyard, I'm afraid the servants of other masters in the Regent's Palace don't have to kneel to her.
Cheng Shuyi rolled her eyes at them in annoyance, "I'm not her servant, why should I kneel to her?"
Her stomach ached so much that she didn't want to get angry.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here." Cheng Shuyi was going crazy from the pain.
"you!"
Sheng Tinglan's maid was embarrassed and her face turned red.
Why has her princess been looked down upon everywhere since she got married?
In the Regent's Palace, no one treated her as the master. Apart from standing in the mistress's room every day, she was not even allowed to leave the yard.
She finally managed to leave the house today, but even a little commoner woman didn't take her young lady seriously.
The two maids couldn't understand why this happened.
Seeing that Cheng Shuyi was not someone to be trifled with, Sheng Tinglan stood up and pretended to scold her maid.
"Lu'er, step back! It's not your turn to speak here!"
Sheng Tinglan stepped forward, bowed to Cheng Shuyi, and said softly, "Sister, mother ordered me to take the prince back to the palace. I hope you can help me."
Cheng Shuyi glanced at Sheng Tinglan indifferently.
I secretly complained in my heart: Who is your sister...
Cheng Shuyi put his palm against his stomach and turned to go to the west wing to call for help.
"Your Highness, your concubine is here to take you back. Get up." She spoke in a bad tone and looked fierce.
But it’s definitely not because of jealousy!
Because she had a stomachache.
Because Pei Yanli ruined her plan for today and forced her to go home before finishing farming!
"Concubine!"
When my sister heard that the concubine was coming, she immediately shrank into the corner of the bed, muttering to herself.
"I don't want a father, Shuyi, I don't want a father, I won't go to the palace..."
The little girl's abnormal behavior frightened Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli so much that their faces changed.
"Don't be afraid, Xuxu. We're not going to the palace." Cheng Shuyi rushed to the bed, hugged his sister in his arms, and comforted her softly, "We're not going anywhere. Mom is here, don't be afraid."
Something was wrong with the little girl this morning.
Looking back now, her guess was indeed confirmed.
As expected, someone in the Regent's Palace said something that shouldn't have been said to the little girl.
Pei Yanli didn’t know what had happened. Why was the first thing his daughter said was that she didn’t want her dad?
"Why doesn't Xu Xu want to go to the palace?" he asked.
But the little girl just kept crying, and her little body kept shaking.
Cheng Shuyi had never seen her daughter so scared as today.
She turned around and said to Pei Yanli with a cold face: "You should go and deal with your concubine first!"
If Pei Yanli still couldn't guess what was happening in this situation, he would be a fool.
He got out of bed, put on some clothes and went out.
Seeing Sheng Tinglan and her two servants wearing veils at the door, Pei Yanli's face became even gloomier.
The last thing he said before he fainted was that he had never had chickenpox. Cheng Shuyi thought he fainted because of chickenpox.
The servants in the palace naturally reported this back to the palace.
Sheng Tinglan dressed like this because she was worried about being infected.
"Your Majesty, my mother asked me to come..."
"roll!"
Pei Yanli sent the person back directly.
Sheng Tinglan was frightened by the angry Pei Yanli.
Although they have not consummated their marriage, it can be said that they respect each other like guests.
She went to Pei Yanli's study several times under the pretext of delivering soup and tea. He always cared about her and didn't let her do such rough work.
Why do you hate her so much now?
Sheng Tinglan left crying in grievance, and when she turned around, her tears fell heavily on the ground.
The prince must have seen her tears.
Pei Yanli sent his men away, closed the gate, and quickly returned to his room.
The little girl was still crying in Cheng Shuyi's arms, and she looked really hungry. She continued to gnaw on the chicken leg in her hand while crying.
All of Cheng Shuyi's clothes were soaked with the oil from the chicken legs.
My brother watched from the side and also...gnawed on the chicken leg.
Pei Yanli had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, he didn't know whether to ask or remain silent.
Cheng Shuyi was quite calm and composed. He turned around and said to Pei Yanli, who looked bewildered, "The two children haven't had dinner yet. Let's make sure they're full first."
Pei Yanli has been unconscious due to heatstroke. His two children stayed by his bedside for the entire afternoon out of worry about him.
Or she stewed the chicken that Pei Yanli hunted.
Only when I gave each of them a chicken leg to hold and gnaw on did they eat a little.
Half an hour later.
The little girl ate the chicken leg clean and burped.
There was oil all over my face and clothes.
"Daddy, hug me." The younger sister reached out to Pei Yanli for a hug.
It seemed that only in this way could she have the confidence to tell what happened in the palace.
"Dad, Xu Xu doesn't want the maid to help me pour water. Xu Xu can pour it herself."
"What little maid?"
Cheng Shuyi didn't understand.
Pei Yanli explained, "When the two children went to the mansion, their mother found a few maids and servants of similar age to serve them."
The two children are about to return to their ancestral home, so it is natural for them to have their own servants and maids.
Cheng Shuyi nodded and asked her sister: "Xu Xu, why don't you want me to pour you some water?"
The younger sister lowered her head and said, "Because the concubine aunt would beat people, and also said that the maid sister was picked up, had a mother but no father, and was annoying."
The little girl seemed to understand something, but also seemed not to understand.
Anyway, she was unhappy when she heard what the concubine aunt said.
"Aunt Consort also said that Dad wanted my brother, not Xu Xu."
The little girl pouted and looked like she was about to cry.
He raised his head and stared at Pei Yanli pretentiously.
"Dad." The brother who had been silent all this time suddenly asked, "Why doesn't the mistress allow my sister to enter the ancestral hall?"
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Yanli and Cheng Shuyi were both stunned.
