It was almost the middle of the month, and Princess Rui had been very busy these days.
While asking people to urge the embroidery workshop to make all the clothes quickly, she also had to urge the embroiderers at home to make various intimate clothing, handkerchiefs, purses and other items for Qingtian.
Not only did the palace hire a new chef, but it also re-employed all the servants.
Anyone who was like Madam Kong was sent to the farm.
This was the first time that such a big fuss had occurred since Princess Rui got married. The servants in the mansion, who were used to being lazy, all felt the seriousness of the matter and became very tense.
Mrs. Ye was also making preparations for Qingtian to live in the palace.
From the beginning, she told Birui about Qingtian's various preferences little by little. Later, she simply used the excuse that she was too busy in the restaurant and took the initiative to help Birui increase her opportunities to interact with Qingtian.
This way, when Qingtian goes to live in Prince Rui's mansion, she won't feel too unfamiliar.
Mrs. Ye has been worried these days that Qingtian will not be able to adapt to the palace, so she has not paid attention to what Boss Ye is busy with every day.
As a result, that evening, Boss Ye came home even later than her.
Mrs. Ye had just coaxed Qingtian to sleep, and when she saw him coming back so late, she belatedly asked, "What have you been up to lately? Why are you back so late?"
Boss Ye sat down and said, "I've been to Boss Cheng's place these past few days."
"Boss Cheng? You still want to go outside the Great Wall?" Mrs. Ye was stunned when she heard that.
Boss Ye hadn't mentioned this matter for a long time, and she thought it was already dead!
"We've already agreed on this, so of course we have to go."
Mrs. Ye said subconsciously, "Now that Qingtian has found her parents, she will definitely not suffer any loss in terms of food, clothing, and other expenses. There is no need for us to work so hard. It is enough to run the restaurant well."
Boss Ye shook his head and said, "I can't help you in the restaurant.
"Besides, no matter how rich Prince Rui's Mansion is, it still belongs to him. No matter how much I earn, it's all given to my daughter.
"As long as Qingtian still recognizes me as her father, I will do my best to give her what I can."
Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Boss Ye would say such a thing. It seemed that he had thought it through a long time ago.
Boss Ye continued, "Besides, isn't Qingtian still taking medicine?
"The doctor said it would be best to add some high-quality Ganoderma lucidum to the medicine.
"We have to go to the mountains in the north to find this thing. I'll try to get a few more to make medicine for Qingtian."
"This is serious business." Mrs. Ye nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although Prince Rui's Mansion should not be short of this kind of thing, the Ganoderma lucidum she picked herself is definitely more reliable than the one she bought outside.
"So when are you planning on leaving? I can pack your luggage for you."
"We'll leave after we send Qingtian to Prince Rui's mansion." Boss Ye said, looking at Sister Ye, "But if you do this, you'll be the only one left."
Although Mr. Cen and You Bin were still at home, Mrs. Ye immediately understood what Mr. Ye meant.
He will be gone for at least a few months, so it would be great if he could come back before the New Year.
After being married for so many years, the couple has never been separated for such a long time.
It had been a long time since I last went to work as a bodyguard, but at that time, Mrs. Ye had Qingtian by her side, so the days were not that difficult.
"It's okay. I'm very busy at the restaurant. I can rest assured that you're not at home!" Mrs. Ye said this, but she felt sad in her heart.
The next night, Qingtian accidentally discovered the luggage that Mrs. Ye had packed.
At first she thought that the things were packed up to be taken to the palace for herself, but when she looked through them, she found that they were not her things, but Boss Ye's things.
"Mom, is Dad going to live with me in the palace?" Qingtian ran to ask Mrs. Ye excitedly.
As a result, this one sentence confused Mrs. Ye.
"What palace did your father go to? Your father is..."
"What is my father going to do?" Qingtian heard Mrs. Ye halfway through her words and came over to ask anxiously.
Mrs. Ye was sewing a sack for Mr. Ye to carry things on his body. Seeing this, she quickly raised her arm and used her elbow to block the sunny day that was approaching her.
"Don't come over here, there are needles and scissors here, be careful not to prick yourself."
"Then tell me, why are you packing for my dad?" Qingtian asked persistently, determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.
Mrs. Ye thought about it and realized that she couldn't hide this matter, so she said, "Didn't I say before that your father was going to the border with Boss Cheng and the others to get mountain products?"
"When are you leaving? How long will you be gone? When will you be back?" Qingtian had more questions when he heard this. "Why haven't I heard you mention this in these days?"
“Your father said that they will send you to the palace tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow.
"Hasn't it been so busy lately? If your dad hadn't come back and told me about it last night, I would have forgotten about it."
As Mrs. Ye spoke, she finished sewing the last few stitches, tied a knot, and bit off the thread with her teeth.
She picked up the sewn sack and looked at it. After feeling that there was no problem, she put it aside.
"Fortunately, when we fled the famine, we took all the winter clothes with us.
"Last winter, your father said that it wasn't as cold in the capital as outside the Great Wall, and that my thick cotton-padded clothes were no longer necessary. He asked me to wash them and make other clothes when I had time.
"Luckily I haven't had time to make it yet. Now I need it again, right?"
Mrs. Ye packed up her thick clothes while talking, then looked through a few pairs of shoes and said with some dissatisfaction, "Although the clothes have some patches, they are all made of good cotton, thick and cold-resistant.
"It's just that these shoes are a bit worn out. I've worn this pair of roe deer leather boots for years, and the fur is almost worn off. I don't know if they're still warm enough.
"I'm afraid this isn't enough for a walk in the snow!
"If I had remembered earlier, I should have made him a new pair.
"If all else fails, ask your father to find a way to buy you another pair after he comes out of confinement!"
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, but she still packed up several pairs of cotton shoes and put them together with the luggage.
She just said a few words casually, but Qingtian took it to heart.
The next day when she arrived at Qin's house, she explained the situation directly to Mr. Wei and said she wanted to go to the street to buy a pair of shoes for Boss Ye.
Seeing how filial she was, Mr. Wei naturally couldn't refuse.
But Mr. Wei couldn't let her go shopping on her own.
So he simply took half a day off and let Qin Hexuan take Qingtian to the street to buy shoes.
Before the two children left the house, Mr. Wei couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Qingtian, do you know what size shoes your dad wears? Don't buy the wrong ones again!"
"I know that!" Qingtian said confidently, and then he took out a pair of roe deer leather boots with less leather and no fur from his schoolbag. "I secretly brought this out before I went out this morning. You can buy it according to this."
