Isn't it just cakes? I will tell my father when I return to the palace and ask him to make all the cakes in the imperial kitchen as a reward for my sister.
The prince insisted on giving the jade pendant to his granddaughter, and the old lady didn't say anything.
My granddaughter looked at it from left to right, as if she was studying it. It was rare that she liked a toy. Normally, she would not pick it up to look at it unless it was food.
Even if you hand it to her, she won't want it and will be very disgusted. Unless it is gold given to her, she will happily take it.
"Sister Xiaoxiao! Brother will carry you to play outside."
Li Sizu was here to pick someone up. He didn't have enough fun last time he went out and was kidnapped. He finally waited until a spring day when the flowers were blooming, and wanted to take Chu Xiaoxiao out for a walk.
This time his father has arranged a lot of people to follow him, both openly and secretly, so nothing can go wrong.
"ah!"
Chu Xiaoxiao held the jade pendant in her hand and opened her arms towards Li Sizu, meaning that she wanted him to hug her. The old lady was worried and stopped her.
"You can't go out. There are too many people outside."
[It's more lively when there are more people! Let's go, let my aunt come with us. ]
After hearing this, Li Sizu picked up Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Madam! We won't go far. We'll just walk around the street. Nothing will happen."
The old lady could not refute the prince's request, so she had to let Chu Zhiyin and Chu Lianlian go along.
In this generation of the Chu family, there was only one girl, Chu Lianlian. After Chu Xiaoxiao was born, there was one more.
The old lady attaches great importance to her granddaughter. She knows that girls can live a carefree life only in their parents' home for these years, but they will not be so comfortable when they go to their husband's home.
Yang was busy with something, and when she came over after finishing her work, she found out that her daughter had been taken away by the prince.
There are indeed a lot of people on the street, bustling about coming and going.
Chu Zhiyin was afraid that someone would offend the prince, and was also afraid that it would be unsafe to walk around, so she led the person to the teahouse, asked for a private room, and ordered a pot of tea and some cakes.
Let Li Sizu hold Chu Xiaoxiao and sit by the window to enjoy the scenery. This way there will be no safety hazards. It's broad daylight and in a crowded place like a teahouse. The bad guys can't fly up and catch them.
Although the prince was only eight years old, in order to avoid suspicion, the door of Chu Zhiyin's box was not closed and was left open. There were only four of them in the box, no outsiders.
Li Sizu's men were standing outside the door waiting. There were quite a few people coming to the teahouse today, and the sound of footsteps coming in and out never stopped.
Chu Zhiyin had never been to such a place since she got married. At that time, she felt guilty about not being able to have children, so she never dared to cross the line and stayed in the backyard obediently.
If her niece hadn't asked her to accompany her, she wouldn't have come out, for fear of being seen and gossiped about.
Looking at the three children playing by the window, Chu Zhiyin's mood gradually improved.
Then he stretched his head to take a look at the bustling street, and his brows unconsciously relaxed.
She divorced and returned home. The Zhang family returned her dowry and gave her compensation, so she would have no worries about food and clothing in her next life. But she still didn't have the confidence to show it in front of others.
Her mother wanted her to stay at home, but she didn't want to. She planned to start her own business when she found the right opportunity. Living in her own home was more comfortable.
The marriages of her nephews and nieces will not be delayed because of her, but how should she tell her parents about this?
His eyes were looking out the window, but his gaze was unfocused as he was thinking about his own things.
Little did he know that this scene was seen by a general on horseback on the street. He quietly raised his head and looked at the woman with gentle features by the window, as if he were in another world.
His name is Jiang Chenjue. He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Pingning. He has an awkward status and has been guarding the border all the time, rarely returning to the capital.
He is now 28 years old and still unmarried.
"You can't bully this brother. He did nothing wrong. His cricket won. Why do you have to beat him up just because you stepped on his cricket to death?"
Chu Zhiyin was very young at the time, only three years old, and he was seven. It was in the backyard of a temple where people were burning incense and worshipping Buddha. He was not there to burn incense, but to offer sacrifices to his aunt's tablet.
After offering sacrifices, he was in a bad mood and went to sit in the back hills. He accidentally found a cricket and caught it. Some second-generation rich people came out from nowhere and insisted on fighting crickets with him.
He won the fight, and those people were very angry. Not only did they step on his crickets to death, they also beat him.
A small figure rushed over, protected him, and shouted at those people.
"You are so bad. I will tell my eldest brother, second brother and third brother to teach you a lesson."
A few playboys took one look at the little girl, didn't dare to hit her anymore, and ran away.
"Humph! You guys are smart."
The little girl said this in a fierce tone and left.
Later, he found out that the little girl was Chu Zhiyin, the second daughter of the Duke of Huguo. Since then, his desire to study and take the imperial examination changed instantly, and at the age of fourteen, he signed up for the army on his own initiative.
Relying on his own efforts, he became a general step by step.
He knew that he would never be worthy of her in this life because he was not a legitimate son, but a concubine's eldest son.
There is no way the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion would look up to him unless his status and position undergo a drastic change and he can be on equal footing with the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
Unfortunately it was too difficult and he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.
When he heard that she was married, he knelt down in the cold night at the border and cried bitterly, drinking all night.
When he heard that she had divorced and returned home, he was so excited that he wanted to shout to the sky.
He finally got the chance.
He asked for leave from his superiors, took a few trusted followers, and rode back to the capital.
This time, he would not let her leave. No matter what obstacles he encountered, he would tie her to his side.
She was his only concern and longing in his life.
I had just returned to the capital, and when I looked up I unexpectedly saw her sitting in a teahouse enjoying the scenery, with a smile on her face, calm and gentle, completely different from her childhood.
When she grew up, she became better, more beautiful and more attractive.
[Huh? Who is that man on horseback? Why is he looking at us? ]
Li Sizu: “…”
I don't know! Judging from their attire, they should be soldiers guarding the border.
Chu Zhiyin turned her head and looked at the man, but she didn't recognize him either.
Jiang Chenjue suddenly caught Chu Zhiyin's eye. He was a little flustered. The guards behind him felt strange. Who did the general see? Why did he seem to be running away?
Who is that woman on top? Why did the general smile foolishly? Hey! Why is the general back again? What did he say to the waiter when he got off the horse?
Jiang Chenjue: “…”
Don’t ask about my affairs.
He had many things to deal with when he came back this time. First of all, there were the people from the Pingning Marquis' Mansion. The second young lady of the Huguo Duke's Mansion could not marry him and then be tortured by her stepmother.
He has contributed enough to the family over the years, and he will move out of the house in the future.
His daughter-in-law does not have to serve her parents-in-law.
His aunt died, so he had no mother, and his wife had no mother-in-law. Although his father was not dead, it was no different from being dead.
He hadn't been home for so many years, and his father had never written him a letter, so he just treated him as a dead man.
He also became indifferent and just treated the Jiang family as if all the members were dead.
