Soon, Xing Bang rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
"Madam, let me help you knead the dough. You seem to be working hard. Don't hurt your waist..."
"No, this is not a man's job, go and take a rest!"
Zheng Xiujun's subconsciousness was not that great.
"I think the dough is a little hard, so let me do it!"
"It's almost done, so don't get involved... If you really want to do it, fill the water tank for me."
"Oh well."
Whenever the two of them were alone together, Zheng Xiujun felt a little awkward and couldn't make any noise.
Xing Bang didn't say anything. This kind of close yet distant feeling was quite good, so he went to fetch water without saying a word.
The water in the water tank was almost full, and it was obvious that Zheng Xiujun was completely embarrassed. She quickly picked up a few buckets of water, and the water tank was full. Xing Bang had nothing to do again.
"Ah? So fast!"
Zheng Xiujun subconsciously glanced at the water jar. It was almost overflowing. Xier was at home and could still empty the water jar. It was really embarrassing to think about it. He was such a smart person, he must be laughing at himself in his heart again.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do again."
"Well, if you don't want to rest, just watch from the side and we can chat."
Zheng Xiujun was helpless as there was really not much work for him to do at home.
"By the way, ma'am, what did Xiao Xizi do in town?"
"Oh, the smallpox in the town has been completely quelled, and Xier's father's grave has been repaired. I think it's time for Xier to return to the palace, so I'll let him go to the town today to say goodbye to Lord Ma's brothers. They have helped a lot with the family's affairs these days, and they should be thanked."
Xing Bang smiled and said, "Don't say that. I came at the right time. Madam, do you think we should..."
"Nonsense again, who can be so in tune with you?"
"Ma'am, I didn't say anything..."
Zheng Xiujun's face suddenly turned red again.
Her rosy and fair face is as beautiful as a peach, and Xing Bang wants to pinch it to see if he can squeeze out water.
"Madam, you are truly beautiful. The title of Qinglong Town's most beautiful woman is a bit understated."
"What's so beautiful about that? I'm already a middle-aged woman."
The words sounded soothing, but Zheng Xiujun still felt it was weird. He dared to say anything, and it was so natural. As a listener, she felt it was abrupt.
Who do you think I can go to for justice in this matter?
"In my opinion, Madam, you are more like a young lady than a virgin."
"You, don't make fun of me."
Zheng Xiujun understood what he meant. When she was alone with him, her face would turn red and she felt a little embarrassed.
How come he's so amusing?
Yes, probably because he often made the ladies in the palace happy...
Alas, when I thought about the fact that he was a eunuch and that I might have to give myself to him, I felt really uncomfortable.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? Nothing, I just suddenly thought of Xi'er going back to the palace, and I felt a little reluctant. I don't know when we will meet next time."
Zheng Xiujun came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, at the same time she felt a little guilty. She shouldn't have felt uncomfortable thinking about the fact that he was a eunuch. It seemed like she was looking down on eunuchs, not to mention that Xier was also a eunuch.
They are so pitiful, I wonder how much grievance they are suppressing in their hearts...
In fact, it is normal for Zheng Xiujun to feel uncomfortable when she thought about this problem just now. Her son is a eunuch, and she is committed to another eunuch. There are two eunuchs in one family. It doesn't sound good. How can she still go out?
I guess any woman would feel subconsciously unhappy if this happened to her.
"Madam, you don't have to worry about this problem. I plan to arrange for Xiao Xizi to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion, so he doesn't have to come back to the palace. If you can come back to Beijing with me, we can see each other every day if we want."
"That's good. It's a blessing for Xiao Xizi to have a good brother like you in her previous life!"
Zheng Xiujun still deliberately avoided her own questions.
"This is all the result of his own hard work. I am just going along with it!"
Xing Bang did not elaborate on this matter. He always wanted to give her some time and space to digest it. However, his words also implied that Zheng Xiujun just needed to work hard, and he believed that she would be more or less touched.
…
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Your Majesty, as you expected, the Sixth Prince relies heavily on the little stick. What I didn't expect was that the female corpse in the dry well was found so quickly..."
"Oh? This is something I didn't expect. It's going even smoother than expected. Let the Xiao family suffer a little."
Liu Xian was somewhat overjoyed. He had originally thought of letting the Sixth Prince be in charge of this matter, and believed that the boy would provide the best house for the little Korean. The first choice would naturally be the He Mansion which had been vacant not long ago. He did not hold out much hope that the former Right Prime Minister's Mansion which was rumored to be haunted would be chosen.
"Your Majesty, Shuntian Prefecture is already investigating. I think Xia Changqing, that cunning fellow, will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice soon..."
"After all, the incident happened in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Minister of Justice will definitely report it. Daban, what do you think about me handing over the case to Jing'er to preside over it? What happened in the Jiaofangsi today... this little Korean, haha, Jing'er has really made me proud."
Liu Xian was so happy when he smiled...
Cao Zhengchun thought for a moment and grinned, "Your Majesty is wise. The Sixth Prince is indeed the most suitable candidate. This way, it will seem to outsiders that Your Majesty is intentionally protecting the Xiao family."
Liu Xian curled his lips and smiled: "Old man, you are so smart, I can't hide my thoughts from you at all!
However, I believe that this little Korean will assist the Crown Prince in the future, and will definitely have a better understanding with him than we do. Haha, I like this little Korean more and more now, he is really relaxed and moderate when doing things. "
"Your Majesty is right. Our Great Yao will surely prosper for thousands of years."
…
It was almost dinner time and Xiao Xizi also came back from town.
Zheng Xiujun has put the steamed buns in the steamer and is busy cooking in the kitchen...
The moonlight was bright. Xing Bang and Xiao Xizi were sitting at the stone table in the yard chatting. They were going to have dinner here. It would be so comfortable to eat the colorful, fragrant and delicious home-cooked dishes and drink a pot of hot wine!
"Brother, why don't you go to the town hall? You've been working at home all afternoon."
"It's nothing official. I went to the town hall and caused trouble for Ma Wu. But fortunately you are not at home, so I can enjoy the fun of leisure life in a farmhouse!"
Xing Bang felt very comfortable...
At this time, Zheng Xiujun's dishes were served on the table one after another, and finally a plate of hot steamed buns fresh from the pot was served.
Her pink face was particularly radiant under the moonlight.
Xing Bang smiled knowingly. This afternoon...
After Xiao Xizi set the table, he stared at the plate of steamed buns and frowned:
"Hey, is this... a steamed bun or a steamed dumpling?"
Xing Bang smiled slightly: "What are you looking at? This is a real big white steamed bun!"
Zheng Xiujun: “…”
