Shangguan Shu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, picked up the eunuch uniform on the ground, turned his back to the mother and daughter, and put it on.
Zhao Ying pursed her lips to suppress her laughter.
The little guy on the ground breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. "Great, great, now I have grandma to drink from..."
"Daddy, Yue'er will definitely remember your kindness in saving me today!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
Shangguan Shu put on his outer robe, turned around abruptly, and spread his hands towards Zhao Ying carelessly, "It's too small, I can't tie it!"
Zhao Ying's pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked away uncomfortably.
The man in front of me was tall and imposing. The small eunuch's clothes made him look even more exaggerated than if he were wearing nothing at all. He even had a feeling of wanting to resist but also wanting to welcome. The muscular muscles on his chest were faintly visible, and the pants, wrapped around his body, made a big bulge underneath...
Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
Zhao Ying snorted coldly, picked up the little guy on the ground, turned around and left, and before leaving, ordered, "Pick out suitable clothes for Eunuch Shu!"
"yes!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
[Eunuch Shu?]
Shangguan Qingyue rolled his eyes and asked, "Mother, who is Eunuch Shu?"
Zhao Ying deliberately raised her voice so that some people could hear, "Yue'er, from now on, your father will be working in Guangming Palace, just like Chief Steward Wu, so you should call him Eunuch Shu. Do you understand?"
"But don't call your dad like that!"
Shangguan Qingyue completely ignored the second half of Zhao Ying's instructions. He only thought that Daddy was the same as Butler Wu. His eyebrows knitted together, puzzled. "But wasn't Butler Wu castrated? Was Daddy castrated too?"
That's great!
Shangguan Qingyue said excitedly, "Then can he be Yue'er's sister? Yue'er wants daddy to be Yue'er's sister, but daddy said that he is a man and cannot be Yue'er's sister!"
"Pfft..." Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh.
"Mother, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing... I'm happy for you. You're going to have a sister!"
The little fellow hummed loudly, put his arms around Zhao Ying's neck, leaned forward and kissed her sweetly, "Thank you, mother. Yue'er will definitely love her sister well, just like your big sister loves Yue'er!"
"Hahahahahahaha..." Zhao Ying laughed so hard that the hens within a hundred miles were about to lay eggs...
At lunch, all the children went to school, leaving only Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue.
Behind Zhao Ying stood a row of palace servants serving at the banquet. Among them, a tall and strong man was particularly conspicuous. He looked out of place among a group of thin and small eunuchs and palace maids. He probably felt something, so he lowered his head and looked disheartened.
The "colleagues" around him probably felt that this person's aura was too oppressive, so they all stayed away from him, avoiding him as if he were the plague.
Suddenly, Zhao Ying coughed lightly, raised her hand nonchalantly, and called out behind her, stretching out her voice, "Xiao Shuzi, serve me some food..."
Shangguan Shu took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and said through gritted teeth, "Which dish would you like to eat, Your Highness?"
Zhao Ying couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckled when she heard the sound, then she called Fuchun over, "Fuchun, why does this new eunuch have such a rough voice? Could it be that he wasn't castrated properly..."
"Zhao Ying, that's enough!"
Shangguan Shu interrupted him unable to bear it any longer.
Zhao Ying slammed her chopsticks on the table, her beautiful eyes confronting Shangguan Shu unwillingly. After a moment, she glanced at Shangguan Qingyue beside her and said to Shangguan Shu, "Wean off the baby!"
Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Shangguan Qingyue, standing nearby, seemed to sense danger. He quickly put down his spoon, picked up the milk jug with both hands, and began to gulp down the milk. [Wow… This is too scary (slurp slurp), I need to store enough milk in advance (slurp slurp), otherwise I won't be able to drink it (slurp slurp)…]
Shangguan Shu compromised again, coughed heavily a few times, and then asked with a pinched throat, "Your Highness? Which one..."
Zhao Ying smiled sweetly, "Come on, everyone."
Shangguan Shu was patient enough, and Wen Chen said, "Okay..."
After the dishes were laid out, Zhao Ying ordered, "You all can go down, and Xiao Shuzi will be the only one left to serve."
“Here…”
After everyone left, Zhao Ying raised her chin, pointed at a bowl of soup on the table, and said softly to Shangguan Shu, "Drink this, and your injury will heal faster..."
Shangguan Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
He knew that Ying'er still had him in her heart!
Shangguan Shu drank the soup without saying a word, then looked at Zhao Ying sweetly. Zhao Ying lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
In the afternoon, Shangguan Qingyue took a nap. Zhao Ying took Shangguan Shu for a walk in the Imperial Garden. "Little Shu, take down that bird's nest in the tree for me!"
Shangguan Shu was surprised, "Why are you robbing a bird's nest?"
"Why do you care about me?"
Shangguan Shu had no choice but to turn over and rise. Fortunately, he knew Qinggong, so he didn't have to climb hard. Shangguan Shu pulled down the bird's nest and handed it to Zhao Ying. There were a few eggs in it. Zhao Ying took out a bird's egg and said to Shangguan Shu, "Okay, put it back!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
Shangguan Shu couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
I looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief. Bird eggs? After all this fuss, she was just going to steal a bird egg!
Shangguan Shu was so angry that he laughed. He turned around holding the bird's nest and said, "You should have told me earlier if you wanted the eggs..."
Zhao Ying remained silent.
The bird's nest was put back and the two continued their stroll.
Shangguan Shu was very happy. Although the outfit didn't match his outfit very well, it was really nice to be able to take a walk with Zhao Ying like this.
Suddenly, Zhao Ying gently lifted the newly stolen bird eggs in her jade-like hand and whispered, "That bird's nest was from a black-billed kestrel that was sent as tribute by foreign countries when I was a child. My father gave this kestrel to me and I have kept it in the imperial garden ever since. Over the years, it has given birth to many generations of birds."
Shangguan Shu listened carefully with a gentle look in his eyes. He liked Zhao Ying talking to him.
"The kestrel is extremely ferocious. Its sharp beak can peck people very painfully. I was pecked by it once when I was a child. I cried. It also holds grudges. If anyone offends it, it will chase you and peck you until you die!"
Shangguan Shu replied, "Indeed, this kind of hunting falcon has a strong temperament... Ying'er, what's wrong?"
Zhao Ying suddenly stopped and looked at Shangguan Shu without blinking. Shangguan Shu was puzzled.
But the next second, Zhao Ying pursed her lips and smiled slyly, then lifted the bird's egg and threw it towards Shangguan Shu. With a slight click, the egg shattered on Shangguan Shu's chest...
Shangguan Shu looked at his chest, but before he could react, his vision blurred. Something flapped its wings and flew towards him. He looked up and saw two half-human-sized kestrels swooping down on him with great momentum...
Wow!
Shangguan Shu suddenly understood. He raised his arm to block the falcon's attack and looked at Zhao Ying. Where was the person?
Zhao Ying ran away, her skirt in hand, leaving behind an afterimage...
Shangguan Shu: ...
After a cup of tea, we arrived at the Hall of Light.
All the doors and windows were sealed.
From time to time, you could hear the sound of bird beaks hitting the doors and windows, and the window paper was torn.
Zhao Ying looked at the disheveled Shangguan Shu and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
Shangguan Shu gasped, staring at Zhao Ying, feeling helpless and sneering in anger.
Is this Zhao Ying?
Is this his gentle, virtuous, dignified and decent wife?
No wonder some of the kids... No wonder...
