Chapter 138 Are You Chasing Them Away?
She was already used to him kissing her all the time, so she blinked and smiled at him: "Sit down."
After drinking tea and resting in the house for a while, Shi Jianli took him for a walk in the garden of the mansion.
At night, after a love affair, Shi Jianli was tired and fell asleep, letting him do whatever he wanted afterwards.
The next morning, Mingzhao got up to attend court. After washing and putting on court clothes, he came over to sit beside the bed. He kissed her face and said softly, "I'm going to court now. You can sleep a little longer. I'll come to take you back to the Duke's Mansion after I finish my shift."
Shi Jianli closed her eyes, hummed, and turned over to face away from him.
Mingzhao patted her on the back and went out to attend court.
After sleeping for a while, Shi Jianli got up and felt a little sore in her waist, so she held her waist and rubbed it.
After Mingzhao left, Lanxing, who was waiting in the room, came in. Seeing the figure sitting up on the bed, he asked, "Miss, do you want to get up?"
"Um."
Lan Xing went out first and asked someone to bring in some water. Then he lifted the bed curtain and saw that the ambiguous traces on Zi Shijianli's collar had disappeared. His cheeks flushed slightly and he lowered his eyes.
When they came in a few days ago, the girl had already changed into her pajamas.
Shi Jianli got out of bed and stood up. Her legs felt a little weak, so she sat down again while holding onto the bed.
Lan Xing coughed lightly, "Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just sit for a while." Shi Jianli pursed her lips, took the clothes and changed her underwear.
Lanxing put her coat back on.
After breakfast, Shi Jianli went for a stroll in the garden of the mansion. The sun was not strong today, and it felt warm on her body. She asked someone to move a soft chair to the garden so that she could bask in the sun and read a book.
Lanxing and Xianyue sat beside her, flipping through the account books that had been sent there, while Zhiyun and Chensha sent someone to the kitchen to bring cakes and fruits.
In the afternoon, Mingzhao returned and went into the house to find no one there. After changing into his regular clothes, he asked Cinnabar, who had come into the room to change the incense, "Where has the Madam gone?"
"Go back, the princess is in the garden."
Mingzhao went to the garden after hearing what he had said. It was quiet and there was no sound of talking. When he got closer, he saw his wife sleeping peacefully with a blanket covering her, and two maids were embroidering beside her.
When Lanxing and Xianyue saw him, they wanted to stand up and salute him, but Mingzhao waved his hand and sat down next to the soft chair.
Xianyue went to ask someone to change the pot of warm tea.
Mingzhao looked at the sleeping person for a while, then took the book she had placed aside and started reading.
When Shi Jianli woke up, she opened her eyes and pulled the blanket over her head.
Mingzhao even lifted a corner of the blanket, leaned in and kissed her forehead, "Are you awake?"
"You're back."
"Yes." He dug the woman out of the soft chair and carried her to Chunlai Residence. "Recomb her hair and take the lady back to the mansion."
His eyes swept over the servants who lowered their heads, and he saw Li lazily lying on his shoulder.
After everything was packed up, Mingzhao led him out of the house, where he saw Tianfeng and Tianyu waiting in the outer courtyard.
"Prince, Madam."
Shi Jianli was puzzled and looked at Ming Zhaohuan: "Don't they usually call you sir?"
Tianfeng and Tianyu looked at each other and suppressed their smiles.
Mingzhao glared at them and said, "It doesn't sound right to have them call me the Crown Prince or the Lord at home, but call you the Crown Prince's Madam."
Shi Jianli couldn't help laughing: "You are so childish."
And a little cute.
Before Mingzhao could refute, he walked to the carriage, pinched her waist and lifted her up.
In the carriage, he leaned against the wall, his palms resting on her waist, massaging, "The day after tomorrow is a day off, I'll take you out to play, where do you want to go?"
Shi Jianli thought for a moment and said, "Let's go enjoy the spring outside the city."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Mingzhao pinched her face and said, "I'm going to court. When you wake up, if you want to go out and play, go ahead. If you're bored, ask your sister to accompany you or go talk to your second aunt and mother. Just like before, don't let yourself get bored."
He married her not to keep her at home and wait for him, but to love her well.
"Yeah." Shi Jianli stared at him with a smile on her lips.
Mingzhao even smiled and rubbed her cheek.
He found that she especially liked to stare into his eyes. Even when the candlelight flickered at night and she was absent-minded, she would still look into his eyes persistently.
"Want some mint cake? Pick some up on the way."
"want."
When they arrived in front of Shangweiju, the carriage stopped and Tianfeng went to buy some cakes.
Shi Jianli lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. Seeing that his shop next to Shangweiju had a good customer base, he took a closer look.
She looked at the signs of several shops on the street and remembered the location of the land deeds that Mingzhao had returned to her two days ago. She looked at them for a while.
Noticing someone staring at her, Shi Jianli turned around to look.
There was a master and servant on the corner of the street. The young woman in the lead was holding her big belly with her hands, staring at her blankly, her cheeks thin and her eyes complicated.
When Mingyueshu met Shi Jianli's gaze, he lowered his head, turned and left. Shuxi saluted in the direction of the carriage, and hurriedly followed Mingyueshu with the medicine bag.
Her belly is so big, it looks like she is about to give birth. She still goes out at this time, and her complexion is not good. There is only a maid with her. She must not be living well.
Shi Jianli didn't feel much emotional. When she saw Tianfeng coming back, she pulled the curtain.
Mingzhao naturally saw Mingyueshu as well, but said nothing. He took the wet towel prepared on the carriage, wiped his hands, opened the oil paper package, pinched a piece of mint cake and handed it to Shijianli's lips.
Shi Jianli took a bite and said, "It's delicious."
Seeing him staring at her, Shi Jianli grabbed his wrist and pushed the half-eaten pastry towards him.
Mingzhao ate the remaining half with a smile, then fed her two more pieces and gave her some tea to moisten her throat.
When they arrived at the mansion, Mingzhao still carried her out of the carriage. When they entered the house, the Zhou brothers and sisters also came back from outside.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law."
"Shi..." Zhou Siyao paused, and like her brother, she smiled and called out to Mingzhao, "Brother and sister-in-law, did you just come back from outside?"
Feeling this somewhat sticky gaze, Mingzhao asked Zhou Tingxiao without even looking at Zhou Siyao, "When is cousin Zhou San planning to return to Taozhou? I can prepare a farewell gift for you so that I don't rush and neglect it."
"I don't know about that either. I didn't ask my grandmother." Although Mingzhao looked gentle, Zhou Tingxiao felt inexplicably pressured when talking to him.
Zhou Siyao pinched his sleeves. Was he trying to chase them away?
Without saying anything more, Mingzhao led the person inside, his tone softening: "Let's go to mother's house for dinner tonight."
"good."
Walking a little further in, the old lady was walking in the mansion with the Princess of Guangde. They greeted her, "Grandma, Grandaunt."
"You're back." The old lady looked at the two of them with a smile. "Will you come over to have dinner with grandma tomorrow?"
"Okay, are Grandma and Great Aunt taking a walk?"
The Princess of Guangde County continued his words: "Your cousins are out of the house for fun, so your grandmother can only take a walk with her. If you still have time, please come and talk to her."
"I will when I have time." Mingzhao's smile faded a little.
