As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of children laughing coming closer and closer.
It’s Tangtang who’s back!
Jiang Muyu was the first to react and ordered, "Push the prince in quickly!"
Xu Lang immediately pushed Liang Qingchen into the inner room.
Jiang Muyu followed him in, and together with him, they helped Liang Qingchen onto the bed and covered him with a quilt.
After doing all this, I just heard the sound of Yunyan.
"Princess, run slower."
Then came Tangtang's "chuckle".
Jiang Muyu went out and hugged her tightly.
Tangtang leaned softly on her shoulder, rubbed it, and said in a baby voice: "Mom, I just let the spinning top go, and it finally started to spin."
"Well, our Tangtang is the best."
Jiang Muyu carried her into the inner room. She saw Liang Qingchen sitting on the bed and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Daddy, Daddy is back!"
She struggled to get down, but Jiang Muyu held her legs down and she couldn't move.
"Tangtang, listen to mother first." Jiang Muyu said, "Daddy is sick now, Tangtang, don't let daddy hold you, and don't press on daddy, otherwise daddy's illness won't get better."
Tangtang frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Daddy?"
Before she could say anything, Liang Qingchen interrupted, "It's okay, it's just a cold."
Jiang Muyu glanced at him and said, "It's okay, what do you mean it's okay? Look at you, you can't even get out of bed now."
Tangtang then realized that her father might be seriously ill.
As soon as Jiang Muyu put her down, she walked to the bedside and grabbed Liang Qingchen's hand that was exposed outside his sleeve. Seeing that it was wrapped in gauze, she asked, "How did Daddy's hand get hurt?"
Liang Qingchen took his hand back and lied calmly, "I fell down accidentally when I had a fever due to a cold."
"Daddy is so careless!" Tangtang criticized sternly, acting like a little adult: "I know that if you are sick, you should see a doctor. Why did Daddy run around outside? And he didn't come home for several days and nights. Don't you know that my mother and I will be worried?"
Liang Qingchen: “…”
I don’t know from whom this little girl inherited this habit, but she is so unforgiving even at such a young age.
Jiang Muyu watched this scene happily. It is said that a daughter is her father's little lover in the previous life. Now Tangtang is so controllable, who knows what will happen to Liang Qingchen in the future under the control of this "little lover".
Liang Qingchen said: "Tangtang is right. Daddy will pay attention to it in the future."
Tangtang tugged at the quilt, but her strength was too weak to move it, so she said sternly, "Hurry up and cover yourself tightly."
Jiang Muyu: “…”
Liang Qingchen: “…”
Even Xu Lang, who was standing by, was amused. He took the initiative to go forward and pull up the quilt, covering the part below Liang Qingchen's neck tightly.
Tangtang was satisfied, she climbed onto the bed, sat next to Liang Qingchen, and said with a smile: "Tangtang misses daddy."
This speed of changing face...
Liang Qingchen pursed his lips and said, "Tangtang's fourth birthday is coming soon. Is there any special gift you want?"
Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "Tangtang wants to live with Sister Nanxing."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I just think Sister Nanxing needs protection."
Jiang Muyu smiled and said, "Tangtang is just a little girl, and you want to protect Nanxing?"
"Yes, yes, in the future I will grow taller, taller than my brother, and I will be able to protect Daddy, Mommy, and Sister Nanxing."
"You won't protect your brother?"
"Brother is a man, you must protect me."
There is nothing wrong with this logic.
Liang Qingchen thought the little girl was extremely cute and wanted to hug her, but her body wouldn't allow it.
After this incident, he finally understood that he needed to be more cautious, more cautious, and more cautious in the future. He was lucky to have saved his life this time, but he was afraid that he might not be so lucky next time.
After talking for a while, Jiang Muyu came over and picked up Tangtang, saying, "Be good, let's go out first, so that Daddy can rest more and recover faster."
"Yeah." Tangtang turned around and told Liang Qingchen, "Daddy should have a good rest."
"Okay." Liang Qingchen smiled gently.
Jiang Muyu sent Tangtang back to her dormitory, had lunch with her, played with her for a while, and then coaxed her to take a nap.
When she returned to the main room, she saw Xu Lang standing by the bed and reading classics again. She lay down on the imperial concubine's couch and listened for a while, then fell asleep in a daze.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Liang Qingchen asked Xu Lang to stop reading, ordered Yun Xuan to take a thin blanket to cover her, and then sent everyone away.
The day before yesterday, Jiang Muyu had someone move the concubine's couch to the side of the bed so that he could keep an eye on him more conveniently. Now he could see her whole face from his position.
The woman lay flat on the imperial concubine couch in a not very graceful posture, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, breathing evenly, and the thin quilt covering her body rose and fell with the breath. The sunlight filtered through the window paper, reflecting on her face in mottled patterns, making her complexion look even whiter and more radiant.
A gentle smile appeared on Liang Qingchen's face, and he just stared at her for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he was infected by it and also felt sleepy, and gradually closed his eyes.
Jiang Muyu slept until the evening. When she woke up, she saw a patch of orange and red through the window frame. The sun was setting, and she felt a sense of melancholy for no reason.
It was said on the Internet before that the loneliest moment is when people wake up in the afternoon and vaguely realize that the day has passed.
You are honest and never deceive me.
Jiang Muyu let out a sigh.
"Are you insanely sleepy?"
The sudden male voice pulled her out of her emotions. Jiang Muyu turned around and saw someone's beautiful and cold face.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?" There was a hint of resentment in her tone.
"I saw that you were too engrossed in your thoughts and I didn't want to disturb you, but the more I looked at you, the more I felt that something was wrong with your expression."
"What? You don't allow me to be sad occasionally?" Jiang Muyu's melancholy was shattered and she got down from the imperial concubine's couch.
"Why are you so sad all of a sudden?" Liang Qingchen was very puzzled. How could this person be so sad after waking up from a good sleep?
"What do you care about me?"
Jiang Muyu turned around and walked out of the house.
After dinner, she was free and had nothing to do. She had slept too much during the day and was afraid that she would have difficulty falling asleep at night. There were no entertainment activities here and she didn't know how to spend the long night.
Jiang Muyu was walking in the garden to digest her food when she suddenly saw a bunch of white flowers about to bloom. She took a closer look and was immediately delighted, "It's actually Epiphyllum!"
It looks like it's about to bloom.
Epiphyllum blooms only between June and September each year, and only at night, starting at around 8 or 9 in the evening, and lasts only three or four hours from blooming to withering.
This doesn't happen all the time.
"There are entertainment options here."
It would bloom in about an hour, so Jiang Muyu prepared to go back to Qingyu Courtyard and changed into thicker clothes.
Liang Qingchen watched her come back happily and began to rummage through the drawers for clothes. He watched her compare the clothes to her body in the mirror and then go behind the screen to change. He watched her sit in front of the dressing table, take off her hair accessories, comb her hair, and tie a headband at the end of her hair.
After dressing up, she looks casual yet elegant, and her long hair down adds a touch of gentle charm.
Liang Qingchen's brows furrowed more and more as he watched her. Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Where are you planning to go now?"
"I didn't go anywhere. I was just in the mansion garden." She picked up a cloak and put it on her arm, saying, "If you are tired, go to bed early. I will be back later."
Then without waiting for him to say anything else, she left.
Liang Qingchen watched her back gradually disappearing into the distance and pursed his lips.
She didn't even come up with a better excuse? Why was she going to the garden at this time? And why was she going to come back late? Did she bring her lover into the house for a tryst?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped the edge of the bed hard, but he neglected the fact that he was still injured and gasped in pain.
"Xu Lang!!"
Outside the door, Xu Lang was joking with the maid who was in charge of cleaning the courtyard. He was so frightened by the shout that his back stiffened. Without even having time to think, he ran towards the main house.
After entering the inner room, he saw his master's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. His heart was alarmed and he unconsciously slowed down his steps and spoke carefully: "Prince...you are looking for me?"
Liang Qingchen said expressionlessly: "Take me to the garden."
"Uh...it's dark outside. What are you doing in the garden now?"
However, the next second Liang Qingchen gave him an impatient look, and Xu Lang immediately shut up and obediently pushed the wooden wheelchair over.
