Chapter 184 Long-term Concern
During the banquet, when Jiang's father saw that Yu Zheng's wine glass was empty, he asked the maid to pour wine for Yu Zheng, and the two drank happily.
Jiang's mother pinched him and said, "Too much wine is harmful to your body, drink less."
Jiang's father said, "Osmanthus wine is sweet and light, it won't hurt you."
Jiang's mother glared at him and whispered unhappily, "It will affect the child."
"Child? What child?" Jiang's father subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was holding the wine glass to his mouth.
Jiang's father was about to say that Jiang Ning was so old, it wouldn't be a problem if he drank a little, but he saw Jiang's mother looking at Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng and winking at him.
"You have to drink less." Jiang's father immediately came to his senses and stopped persuading Yu Zheng to drink.
After eating half full, Jiang Ning put down his chopsticks and started to peel shrimps.
Jiang Shu got married, so there would be fewer days for her to peel shrimps.
Jiang Ning thought about it and felt a little sad.
"Sister, eat more, because no one will peel shrimps for you in the future." Jiang Ning put the peeled shrimps in front of Jiang Shu.
Yu Zheng's dark eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, and he silently put down his chopsticks and picked up a shrimp to peel it.
After peeling it, he fed it directly to Jiang Shu. He proved with practical actions that someone would peel shrimps for Jiang Shu in the future.
Jiang Ning was stunned, and did not expect Yu Zheng to do this.
Jiang's father and mother smiled knowingly, and served Jiang Ning a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Are you relieved now?"
Jiang Ning looked at the soup in front of him and drank it with a smile.
It's great that his sister has someone who loves her all her life.
Because of some of Yu Zheng's subtle actions, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Jiang Ning saw his sincerity towards Jiang Shu, and they were relieved to hand Jiang Shu over to him.
After dinner, Jiang's father took the initiative and pulled Yu Zheng to continue playing chess.
Jiang Ning lagged behind and could only stand aside to watch the game and ask Yu Zheng for advice.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Shu sat farther away and chatted about family matters.
Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu had to go back home before dark, and they didn't have much time to spend together.
The maid changed the tea several times, and time passed unknowingly. The sun set in the west and the sky gradually darkened.
No matter how reluctant they were, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng had to leave, and Jiang's mother got up to see them off.
"Dad, Mom, take care of yourself." Jiang Shu hugged Jiang's mother, with a slight choke in his throat.
"Okay, take care of yourself and the prince, don't worry about us." Jiang's mother smiled and patted Jiang Shu's back.
Finally, Jiang's mother said to Jiang Ning, "Ning'er, send your sister and brother-in-law off."
Jiang Shu let go of Jiang's mother and walked out with Yu Zheng, looking back every few steps.
Jiang's father and mother smiled and waved at her.
After Jiang Shu walked away and could no longer be seen, the smiles on Jiang's father and mother's faces faded, and their eyes instantly turned red.
"Don't cry, Shu'er will come back." Jiang's father patted Jiang's mother's hand to comfort her.
"Yeah." Jiang's mother swallowed her sobs and wiped the moisture from her eyes.
When Jiang Ning went out of the house to greet them in the morning, his steps were as light as flying. Now that he was sending Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng away, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every step was difficult.
After helping Jiang Shu onto the carriage, Jiang Ning couldn't help but tear up: "Sister, come back often."
"Okay, you study hard and take care of your parents, I'll come back when I'm free." Jiang Shu was infected and her eyes also turned red.
"Yes, I will, don't worry, sister." Jiang Ning stepped back a few steps and signaled Zhufeng to start the carriage.
Jiang Shu didn't lower the curtain until the carriage was far away and out of sight.
Yu Zheng reached out and took her into his arms to comfort her, gently wiping away the tears from her eyes.
"Don't be sad, whenever you miss them, we will come back."
"Okay." Jiang Shu nodded, leaned lightly on Yu Zheng's chest, and felt particularly relieved listening to Yu Zheng's steady and strong heartbeat.
When the two returned to the palace, it was just getting dark.
The kitchen had prepared dinner, and Shuanghua had someone serve the meal as soon as the two returned to the main courtyard.
Jiang Shu was not too hungry after lunch, so she ate a few bites and put down her chopsticks.
"What's wrong? No appetite?" Yu Zheng thought she was still sad about parting with her family.
Jiang Shu shook her head: "I had a plate of shrimps for lunch, I'm not hungry."
Hearing her say this, Yu Zheng felt relieved.
There was still one day of rest, and while drinking tea and resting after dinner, Yu Zheng asked Jiang Shu if there was anywhere else she wanted to go.
Jiang Shu said: "You rarely have a day off, so take a good rest in the mansion for a day. There is a long time to come, and it won't be too late to go again in the future."
There is a long time to come.
Yu Zheng liked these four words very much, so he said: "Okay, I'll take you to visit the back garden of the mansion tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jiang Shu nodded.
Since she married Yu Zheng, she had to take over the general affairs of the palace. Not only did she have to be familiar with the palace, but she also had to meet the stewards in the palace.
She would be busy for some time to come.
After taking a bath, Jiang Shu took a book, sat on the couch, and listened to Yu Zheng reading.
"The sun and the moon suddenly stop shining, and spring and autumn replace each other. Only when the grass and trees wither, I am afraid that the beauty will be late in the twilight..."
Jiang Shu took the "Chu Ci" today.
Knowing that Jiang Shu was in a bad mood, Yu Zheng did not ask for any more rewards, and read one article after another seriously.
He kept reading until Jiang Shu yawned with her hands covering her lips, then Yu Zheng put down the book and carried her to the bed to rest.
That night, the two did nothing and slept in each other's arms in pajamas.
The next day, the weather was half cloudy and half sunny.
After they slept well, they got up and washed. After breakfast, Yu Zheng took Jiang Shu to visit the back garden.
On the wedding day, Jiang Shu had heard Yu Lan mention that the backyard of the palace was very large, but she had never thought it was this big.
Yu Zheng led her for half an hour before they circled the backyard.
Although they walked very slowly, it was enough to prove how big the backyard was.
In addition to the garden, there was also a plum forest and a lotus pond in the backyard.
The lotus flowers in the pond were gone, leaving only dead branches and leaves on the water surface, but it was not difficult to imagine how beautiful this lotus pond was in summer.
What's even more wonderful is that there is a pavilion in the lake. Whether it's winter to enjoy the lake snow or summer to enjoy the
lotus, it's very pleasant. Jiang Shu leaned on the pillars of the pavilion and looked into the lake, and saw groups of koi swimming in front of her.
Yu Zheng asked her: "Do you like the layout of the scenery in the mansion? If you don't like it, you can ask someone to renovate it."
Jiang Shu hurriedly said: "I like it very much, no need to change it."
She just came to the palace, so she can't do a lot of construction, otherwise it will cause gossip.
Although the emperor and Yu Guifei treated her tolerantly, she also had to be sensible and not make them unhappy, let alone let Yu Zheng be criticized.
There was just one thing that Jiang Shu didn't understand: "You live alone, why do you want to build such a big mansion?"
Although a bigger one has a better view, it is also inevitably lonely.
Yu Zheng said: "I didn't want to build it so big, but my father and mother insisted, saying that the palace will have a large population in the future, and building it bigger will save time and effort."
Jiang Shu's eyes flickered after hearing this: "My father and mother are thoughtful."
A large population.
These four words show the thoughts of the emperor and Yu Guifei.
As parents, they naturally hope that Yu Zheng's backyard will be prosperous and his descendants will be numerous.
But when Jiang Shu thought that Yu Zheng would have many wives and concubines in the future and would have children with others, he felt a lump in his stomach.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zheng noticed that her expression was wrong.
Jiang Shu looked at him, took a deep breath and said: "What if I get jealous in the future? Will you be unhappy?"
For women from aristocratic families, jealousy is a taboo.
Yu Zheng was startled when he heard this, not knowing why: "Why are you so jealous? Who are you jealous of?"
Jiang Shu crossed her hands and said shyly: "Your concubines, I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't control my heart."
Yu Zheng doesn't have concubines yet, but just thinking about it, Jiang Shu feels a pain in her heart.
It can be seen that when she has them in the future, she will be even more uncomfortable.
