Chapter 544: Losing One’s Mood by Playing with Toys
When Su Ying saw Xiao Jin, she realized it was getting late. She stopped and asked Dabao and the others to come over. The little ones were having so much fun that their little faces were red and they were so tired that they were gasping for breath, but they were unwilling to stop.
"Okay, it's getting late today. I have to go home. Come over to play after school tomorrow."
"Empress, can we still come over tomorrow?" Nie Jun rubbed his nose and said naively. His face was covered with mud and looked dirty.
"Sure, but don't forget today's homework. Go back."
The children's servants had been waiting at the door for a long time, but they didn't dare to say a word when Su Ying was inside. Now, seeing their masters playing like mud monkeys, they were extremely worried, fearing that they would be punished by their masters when they returned.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts so much." Nie Jun held his stomach in pain as soon as he walked up to the servant.
"Young master, what's wrong with you?" The servant's face changed when he saw him like this.
Nie Jun held his stomach, which twitched for a moment, but soon recovered. "Hmm? It doesn't seem to hurt anymore."
Dabao came over when he saw this. Nie Jun was his study partner and they had always had a good relationship. Seeing that the blush on his face had faded, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Nie Jun, what's wrong with you?"
Nie Jun wiped the sweat off his forehead a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's okay, I just had a stomachache just now, it's all better now."
Dabao saw that he was still normal and didn't ask any more questions, "Go back and eat something, you must be hungry."
"Yes, then, I will take my leave, Your Highness."
The servants of each mansion took their masters away.
Su Ying and her friends also brought their two babies back to Fengluan Palace.
The mother and her two children were all sweating. In order to avoid catching a cold, they changed their clothes as soon as they came back. Mother Zhao also asked someone to boil some mugwort water. Now that the weather is cold, it is especially easy to catch a cold after sweating. Soaking in mugwort water can effectively drive away the cold.
"I'm so hungry. Bai Shuang, go serve the food and see if Uncle He has prepared it."
"Please wait a moment, Madam. I will be there soon."
Xiao Jin looked at them with a bright face, "Is it so fun?"
"If you're curious, I'll take you there to try it at night when no one is around?"
Xiao Jin imagined himself sitting on a slide... He would really be grateful.
Before dark, Nie Jun also returned home.
Before returning home, the servants changed his clothes and wiped his dirty face, so that he looked no different from usual.
It was dinner time at the General's Mansion, so Nie Jun went straight to the dining room.
General Zhenbei is guarding the border and is not in the capital. There are only the general's wife, the old lady and the general's two younger brothers in the capital. However, the brothers had separated several years ago and did not live together.
"Grandma, I'm back." Nie Jun threw himself into the old lady's arms like a little bird returning to its nest.
Just as he was about to act coquettishly, he heard the general's wife cough lightly. His round little face tightened and he quickly got out of the old lady's arms, stood up properly and saluted the old lady.
"Grandma, mother, I'm back."
The old lady's hair had already turned grey, and she loved her little grandson the most. Just now, when she was about to ask him a question, the child slipped out of her arms. She couldn't help but glance at the general's wife Pang Shi, "Why are you so particular in your own home?"
Pang Shi had a pair of narrow eyes and drooping eyebrows, and her facial features looked rather dull, but she also had two high cheekbones, which made her dull face look somewhat harsh.
She lowered her eyebrows and said: "Mother, Jun'er is now the eldest prince's companion. If she doesn't follow the rules in the palace and the queen finds out, won't she skin Jun'er alive?"
The old lady frowned her gray brows, looking very unhappy, but she didn't say anything.
Nie Jun was not happy. "Mother, the Queen is a very nice person, not mean at all. She even played with us for a long time today and said we can go to the playground tomorrow. It's so much fun."
When Pang heard this, her eyebrows stood up, "You are not studying hard, but going out to play? I was wondering why you came back at this time today. You are so young and all you want is to play around. How can you become a talent in the future!"
Nie Jun was afraid of Pang Shi. When he heard her harsh criticism, he was so scared that he shrank his shoulders and dared not say a word.
Seeing her grandson being wronged, the old lady spoke up to defend him, "Well, isn't it normal for a child to play? When his father was this age, he was still rolling around in the mud. You think it's a good thing to keep such a precious child."
Pang Shi's face darkened when she was scolded, but the old lady was her elder and she couldn't talk back.
"Jun'er, tell grandma, what did you play?"
Nie Jun perked up when he heard the old lady ask this, "Grandma, there are a lot of fun things. It's the amusement park that the queen said she would build for the eldest prince and his family. It's now built and it's really fun."
"Your Highness, we are indeed different. This is the critical period for children's enlightenment. Otherwise, it would be fine if the eldest prince and his friends studied hard, but you are actually taking them out to play crazily. Aren't you afraid that they will lose their ambitions?"
"Shut up!" The old lady sneered, "Pang Shi, your rules have all been eaten by dogs. You are not allowed to criticize the queen. If people hear you, you don't have to stay in the general's mansion anymore."
When Pang Shi thought of Su Ying's reputation, she turned pale with fright. Fortunately, all the people here were hers, otherwise she would not be able to sleep tonight.
Dinner at the general's mansion was spent in silence. Nie Jun did not dare to say a word. Pang Shi asked him not to talk while eating or sleeping. If he did not obey, he would be punished again.
After falling asleep at night, Nie Jun felt a sudden sharp pain in his stomach, which made him roll around on the bed.
The maid who was on night watch heard the noise and rushed into the house to check the situation. When she saw Nie Jun in so much pain that his back was wet with cold sweat, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She did not dare to delay and woke up the people in the mansion.
Everyone in the general's mansion was awakened in the middle of the night, and Pang Shi quickly sent someone to find a doctor.
After examining me, the doctor said it was gastrointestinal discomfort and some intestinal gas congestion, so he immediately prescribed some medicine.
After taking the medicine, Nie Jun felt a little relief, but not long after, the severe pain came back again.
"Ouch... ah, it hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."
"Oh my little ancestor, what's going on? Go, take my name and go find the imperial physician. Go quickly." The old lady was a first-rank official and was qualified to hire an imperial physician.
Pang was very anxious seeing her son rolling around on the bed, but she quickly remembered something and took out a piece of talisman paper from her body, burned it, put it in water, and fed it to Nie Jun.
"You, what did you feed Jun'er?"
