Chapter 447 It’s time to reward me.
After hearing this, the Prince of Zhi said, "My Lord, none of you can bake this as well as I do."
The Third Master said, "Old Eight has just praised me. Don't you know how well you did in the exam?
"I don't believe it. The one just now didn't perform well. Eighth Brother, try this one and see which one is better." said the Prince of Zhi.
The Third Master was not to be outdone and took another skewer: "Try this, I just grilled it."
Fourteen suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no! It's over! It's burnt on the fire!"
As he said that, he immediately ran over and took out his burnt one. The bamboo stick was already on fire, so he blew twice to put out the fire. Then he took a closer look and brought it back to Master Ba: "Brother Ba, don't look at this ugly appearance, but it's edible. Try it.
Eighth Master: “…”
So why did he go out just now? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep in the house?
Everyone had a full meal and was in a very good mood.
However, I heard that the Eighth Master had a stomachache the next day and was in low spirits for several days.
This incident alarmed the Empress Dowager, who called several imperial doctors to take a look.
That day, when the Fourth Master came back from work in the evening, he mentioned this matter to Wen Jiu: "Old Eighth is fine today, you don't have to worry about him anymore."
Wen Jiu said, "Fortunately, you are fine. If you had eaten something bad here, I'm afraid the Queen Mother would blame you."
The Fourth Master patted Wenjiu's head and said, "The Queen Mother is not an unreasonable person. You don't have to worry too much about this matter. The same goes for Old Eight. He eats whatever they give him. He is a real man now."
Seeing that the Fourth Master didn't show any special expression when talking about the Eighth Master, Wen Jiu was a little surprised.
When I think about it carefully, from the memory fragments, Mr. Ba doesn't look like a bad guy. He was able to jump into the water to save Fourteen without hesitation, which shows that he still has some sincerity towards his brothers.
I don’t know what happened that led the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master to such a life-and-death struggle.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let me touch your belly. It seems to have grown a little bigger in the past few days."
Wenjiu also felt that her belly was a bit big. It was not even four months pregnant yet, but it looked like other people's four or five-month pregnant bellies.
"Master, this is normal. Others have one, but you have four in your belly. Each one is the size of a fist, so it's bigger than others."
While Wenjiu and Xiaojin were talking, the Fourth Master had already washed his face, got on the bed, and put his arm around Wenjiu's waist.
The big hand kept touching her belly.
Wenjiu was originally drowsy, but suddenly he found that his hand had changed position.
He suddenly held down the Fourth Master's hand: "Master..." There was a hoarseness in Wenjiu's voice. As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Be good, don't move." The Fourth Master controlled her hand with one hand, and the strength of his other hand was a little softer.
"Jiu'er, it's almost four months, and the doctor said it's stable."
Wenjiu bit his lip: "Hmm?" His voice was like a cat's meow, soft and without any strength.
The Fourth Master's hand suddenly pressed against her lips, his fingers rubbing over her lips repeatedly.
"I've been taking care of you for so long, I'm very tired."
Wen Jiu looked up at him in confusion, but heard the Fourth Master chuckle, "It's time to reward me."
…
The next morning, Wenjiu slept until noon before being awakened by Liusu beside him.
"Girl, are you awake?"
This time when he went out, Wenjiu brought Liusu and a big spoon, and left the house to be taken care of by Nanny Gui, Nanny Song and Shanzha.
Dashao was away, still serving as her guard. Her tassels were delicate, her hair was well combed, and she kept Wenjiu's inner room in perfect order. She gently helped Wenjiu sit up.
While twisting out the warm handkerchief to wipe his hands while warming the wine, he said gently, "Young lady, please get up. Lord Beile just asked Eunuch Su to come over. He told you to get ready early because we will be docking in Yangzhou Prefecture later."
Wenjiu leaned softly against Liusu and yawned: "What time is it?"
Liusu said, "It's one past noon. We should be here in half an hour."
Wen Jiu said dazedly, "So fast."
Liusu replied softly, "Yes."
Wen Jiu subconsciously looked towards Liu Su, and then she realized that Liu Su had been talking to her with her head down, not even looking at her. However, the earlobe that was exposed was already red.
Wenjiu looked at himself in a daze, and then he realized that the exposed part of his shoulders was covered with red marks.
Speaking of which, these red marks are much better than the previous bruises.
The Fourth Master was much gentler than usual yesterday, showing some restraint after all. But his restraint was still...
"Ahem." Wenjiu cleared his throat and said, "Liusu, go get me some clothes to put on."
Liusu immediately replied "yes" and ran to get her clothes as if she was escaping from panic.
As she turned her back to warm the wine, she patted her red cheeks and took several deep breaths.
Speaking of which, Liusu initially felt that the prince was being unreasonable. The girl was pregnant, so it would be hard for him to keep her. He seemed to treat her very well, but she hadn't expected that he was also disregarding her health because of that matter.
Prince Beile took the girl with him on this trip, and we couldn't let him suffer any injustice. So we had to let the girl suffer.
Now seeing the girl's appearance, Liusu began to understand the prince a little.
Even a woman would blush when seeing this, let alone a man?
How could the girl look like she was pregnant? Her delicate collarbone, her beautiful cheeks, the way she spoke softly to her just now, her every move, was full of charm.
Thinking of this, Liusu's heart began to pound.
I always feel that the girl's appearance...how to describe it? It should be more attractive than before.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s pregnant, but the girl’s youthful complexion has faded a bit, and she’s more alluring. It makes people’s hearts beat faster when they see her, so it’s no wonder that the prince couldn’t control himself.
If another man saw this, who knows what would happen.
"Liusu, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Liusu didn't move, Wenjiu called her.
"Hey, girl, I'm coming right up."
Taking a deep breath, Liusu found a middle-length shirt and put it on Wenjiu, not even daring to look at her.
After putting on Wenjiu's clothes, before Wenjiu could say anything, Liusu let out a long sigh.
Her expression actually made Wen Jiu laugh: "What's wrong with my Miss Liusu? Show off your style as the head maid in the palace."
Liusu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Miss, please don't make fun of me."
At first, when the girl mentioned her past affairs in the palace, Liusu was a little nervous, fearing that she still held a grudge against her. But now, she just took it as a joke.
When the girl asked her to take charge of the small storehouse, she told her to act like a head maid. When Wangcai and the others were disobedient, she also told them to act like head maids. Even now, Liusu wants to laugh when she hears this.
