Liang Qingchen did not return to the palace until the evening. After he changed out of his court robes and washed his hands and face, Yun Xuan asked the kitchen staff to serve dinner on the table.
Whenever Liang Jinghe took a ten-day vacation, the family would always have dinner together. After all, this was the only time when everyone could get together, and eating was one of the best ways to maintain family ties.
At the dinner table, Tangtang suddenly asked, "Won't Aunt Eighth eat with us?"
Jiang Muyu was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't just say that she didn't notify Jiang Muxue.
Liang Qingchen glanced at her and replied, "This is a family dinner. The Eighth Aunt is a guest, so there is no need for us to dine together."
"Oh." After getting the answer, Tangtang continued to eat.
Jiang Muyu looked at him in surprise, and he happened to look over at her too. Their eyes met for a moment, and she quickly lowered her head guiltily and pretended to take the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Liang Jinghe.
In fact, she didn't know why she felt guilty, but she always felt that Liang Qingchen could easily see through her thoughts.
Liang Jinghe looked at the increasing amount of food in his bowl, and finally couldn't help but said, "Mom, that's enough."
Jiang Muyu saw that his bowl was piled up into a small hill by the dishes she had picked up, and the rice underneath could not be seen at all. Then she put down her chopsticks, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Eat more. You are growing."
"Thank you, mother."
After that, everyone ate quietly, without talking while eating or sleeping.
After dinner, a few people sat down to drink tea and chat.
Liang Qingchen asked Liang Jinghe some questions about his studies, many of which Jiang Muyu didn't understand, so he took out a toy to tease Tangtang.
The father and son chatted for a long time before taking a break. Liang Jinghe drank some hawthorn water that Jiang Muyu asked Yun Xuan to prepare. It had honey in it and tasted sour and sweet, which was very helpful in digesting food. He had indeed eaten a little too much today.
After a while, he said he was going back to his room to review his lessons, and then he left. Jiang Muyu and Liang Qingchen naturally agreed, and after their son left, it was time for Tangtang to take a bath, so they asked Yunshan to carry her down.
She had specifically instructed Yun Xuan these past two days that the wet nurse should not be allowed to take care of Tangtang's daily life unless it was absolutely necessary. Although Yun Xuan had his doubts, he did as she said and gave the order quietly.
There were only the couple left in the house.
Every time this happened, Jiang Muyu would always feel a little nervous, just like meeting an online friend for a date.
She recalled last night, when there was a half-familiar man lying next to her, and she didn't dare to move at all. In the end, she only fell asleep in a daze in the late night, and she didn't sleep well during the whole process.
Liang Qingchen took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that you asked someone to come to your house tomorrow to measure your clothes?"
"Yes, it is true. What's the matter?" Jiang Muyu blinked. She felt that as the mistress of Prince Rui's Mansion, she should have this right.
"Nothing, but you only invited people from Jinxiu Manor. Why didn't you invite people from Lingqie Pavilion? Don't you always like their Jinsuan?"
"This..." She brushed her hair aside her ears and said with a smile, "Actually, I mainly wanted to make some clothes for my eighth sister and two children. I didn't consider it myself."
"So that's how it is." Liang Qingchen stared at her and pursed his lips slightly.
"Yes, I was asked by my mother and Aunt Feng to help my eighth sister find a suitable husband, so I thought of making two new clothes for my sister so that she can dress up more beautifully."
Liang Qingchen said: "In that case, we should indeed prepare, but the girls from your Jiang family are born beautiful, and they can outshine the others even without dressing up."
He was originally praising the girl from the Jiang family, but Jiang Muyu's words sounded different, as if he was specifically praising Jiang Muxue for her good looks, which made her feel a little sour for no reason.
She fell silent and didn't answer.
Liang Qingchen suddenly curled his lips and said, "Zhao Zhao even made clothes for two children, why didn't you think of making one for me too?"
She looked at the person opposite her with pursed lips and wrinkled brows, and the corners of her beautiful pair of phoenix eyes drooped down, making her look like a big dog that looked extremely aggrieved, making people want to rub her.
Of course, it's just a thought.
She was helpless, why was this person still aggrieved? So she had no choice but to say, "Call Lingqiege again and I will make you two."
Liang Qingchen smiled happily: "It just so happens that I have a day off tomorrow, so I can stay at home with you for a day. I can also invite the treasure pavilion to come. Zhao Zhao, you haven't changed your jewelry for a long time."
Jiang Muyu looked at him and suddenly smiled, too lazy to think about what he had just said.
As the night deepened, the two of them took a bath and went to sleep.
Liang Qingchen moved very quickly today. Before Jiang Muyu lay down to sleep, he came back from the purification room.
The two of them lay in the same bed, covered with the same quilt. The man's hand gradually touched her slender waist, reached under the thin fabric, and became restless.
Jiang Muyu sat up suddenly like a frightened bird.
Liang Qingchen paused, his handsome face full of innocence and confusion, his voice a little hoarse: "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"
She also felt that her reaction was a bit too much, so she slowly lay back down, blushing and whispering, "I'm having my period."
Liang Qingchen counted the days and it was indeed these few days. He stopped moving and placed his warm palm on her lower abdomen, asking softly, "Does it hurt?"
She has always suffered from back pain and abdominal pain during her menstrual period.
"It doesn't hurt."
He pulled the quilt up and covered her tightly, and put his right hand gently on her belly through her clothes, saying, "Go to sleep."
"Yeah." Jiang Muyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, glad that she really had her period today. At the same time, she felt a little warm. This man treated her really well.
There were no marital conflicts between them, and they hadn't quarreled in the past few days, so she didn't dare to suggest sleeping in separate rooms. But she didn't want anything unspeakable to happen, so she could only delay it for a while.
She didn't know what happened. She thought she would suffer from insomnia if someone held her like this while she slept because she was not used to it. However, she fell asleep very quickly listening to the light breathing sounds beside her ears, and slept peacefully until dawn.
When she woke up, there was still nothing beside her.
Yun Xuan heard the noise and brought in hot water to help her wash up.
She asked casually, "Where is the prince?"
Yun Xuan said: "The prince is practicing swordplay in the martial arts field."
"oh."
There is a martial arts field in the Prince Rui's Mansion, which is very close to Zizhu Courtyard. She thought that Liang Jinghe would return to the Royal Academy in a while, so she might as well seize the opportunity to further her relationship with the male protagonist.
So she asked the kitchen to arrange breakfast in Zizhuyuan, and then took Tangtang to the martial arts field.
When I walked to the martial arts field, I saw Liang Qingchen and Liang Jinghe, father and son, were there. At this time, Liang Jinghe was practicing boxing, and Liang Qingchen was instructing him.
In the book, the reason why Liang Jinghe later became a famous god of war was largely due to his father.
"Prince Rui was both talented in literature and martial arts, and had a handsome appearance. He was the dream lover of thousands of ladies in the capital." These are the original words in the article.
Jiang Muyu looked down on such a perfect man. The reason was simple. It was not because her standards were too high, but because there was a person living in her heart since she was young.
"Ah——" She sighed softly.
Tangtang looked up at her and asked in a baby voice, "Why are you sighing, mother?"
Jiang Muyu lied casually: "Your brother is getting older, and we will see him less and less in the future."
Tangtang said, "If mom misses brother, she can go to the Royal Academy to see him."
Yes, why didn’t she think of that!
Liang Jinghe can't get out, but she can get in. After all, she is the Princess of Rui. It should be okay for her to go and see her son, right? She should show more warmth and care to the male protagonist, and make her presence known. The male protagonist will always remember her kindness.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of two people in the martial arts field.
