Chapter 31 This girl wants to have a mother.
The air pressure in Luoyaju has been extremely low in the past two days.
Ever since Qi Yunshen came back from the bottom of the cliff that day, he had a headache from time to time. His master looked unhappy, and the servants were also worried. The prince ignored the wound on his back and trained in the martial arts training ground for two consecutive days. The secret guards took turns to fight, and everyone was miserable.
Sweat streamed down the man's handsome and sharp face. Qi Yunshen threw the silver spear to Qingying, who followed behind him holding the spear. "Master, how do you feel now? Do you feel anything different?"
Four years ago, in the last war between Daliang and Xixia, Qi Yunshen was ambushed and shot by an arrow. The arrowhead was highly poisonous. The military doctor at the time said it might be a poison called Bai Gu Bi Shui Cao.
This poison is very cunning. It hides very deeply when the host is healthy. It can wait until the host is injured and weak, and then take the opportunity to enter.
Commonly known as, take advantage of your illness to kill you.
In the past four years, Qi Yunshen has never been injured, and there is no sign of the poison recurring.
But now the prince has a serious back injury and is still practicing martial arts regardless of his health. Qingying is really worried.
Qi An came to report: "Prince, someone has come from the palace. His Majesty wants to discuss with you the handling of the Green Lotus Sect members. The Crown Prince, King Zhou, and King Yu have all entered the palace."
Qi Yunshen nodded, changed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace when Jiang Yunzheng happened to come in.
Qi Yunshen was standing in the corridor, looking straight ahead. Qingying muttered behind him, "Mrs. Shi seems to be in good spirits."
In the garden, Jiang Yunzheng didn't even notice Qi Yunshen who was not far away. Beside him was the old lady's maid Fangfei. Fangfei looked young, but had a very steady temperament.
"Madam Shi, the old lady has been thinking of you these past two days. The day after tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. She said she would ask the princess to invite you to Baoguo Temple."
Since the passing of the Queen, the task of climbing the mountain to celebrate and praying at the Dabaoguo Temple on the Double Ninth Festival every year has been entrusted to Princess Yude. Whenever the ladies of the noble families have time, they will go together, and it is also a good opportunity for socializing.
The day after the Double Ninth Festival is Qi Yanyu’s birthday.
Before leaving the Jiangnan Bank Restaurant yesterday, Qi Yanyu repeatedly told Jiang Yunzheng to attend, and after the prayer was over, they would go to the Princess Villa near Baoguo Temple to celebrate her birthday.
Jiang Yunzheng smiled lightly: "That's natural."
Old Madam Qi's mental state has improved a lot in recent days. She sleeps soundly every night and often talks about Jiang Yunzheng's great medical skills and how he is a natural medical genius.
Qi Zhenzhen was in the old lady's courtyard in the morning. The little girl sat on a stone chair, kicking her two short legs, with chubby cheeks on the sides, and played seriously with the Luban lock specially made for her by her father.
A smile naturally appeared on Jiang Yunzheng's face. In her hand, she was holding the Qingrun cake she had made last night. It could soothe the liver and gallbladder, clear the liver and improve eyesight. It was perfect for the old lady and the little girl.
When Qi Zhenzhen heard the noise, he raised his face and smiled widely, and ran towards Jiang Yunzheng like a jade ball, more exquisite than the dolls in the New Year pictures.
The little girl blinked her big eyes like black grapes and pointed at Jiang Yunzheng's arm.
Jiang Yunzheng tapped the tip of the little girl's nose: "She accidentally fell while walking."
The little girl's eyebrows were wrinkled like a caterpillar, and she was blowing towards Jiang Yunzheng's arm.
Jiang Yunzheng's heart softened and she couldn't help but hug her daughter in her arms. The soft touch soothed all her fatigue in recent days.
The little girl gestured: You are finally here. I asked daddy where you live, but he didn’t tell me.
"I can play with you today."
Not far away, Madam Qi sighed softly as she watched this scene.
"This girl wants to have a mother."
Jiang Yunzheng walked closer with Qi Zhenzhen in hand. Madam Qi patted Jiang Yunzheng's right hand and asked, "Is your hand seriously injured?"
Jiang Yunzheng shook her head: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
After Jiang Yunzheng gave the old lady acupuncture, she accompanied Qi Zhenzhen to the garden to swing. Near noon, Princess Yude and Qi Yanyu returned from the palace.
Several people had lunch together.
Qi Zhenzhen is close to Jiang Yunzheng. The little girl insists on sitting next to Jiang Yunzheng. She can't even reach the food herself, but she still wants to pick up food for Jiang Yunzheng. Everyone watching makes her laugh and cry, but Jiang Yunzheng feels warm in her heart.
Qi Yanyu pretended to snort: "Humph, I didn't pick any for my aunt either."
The little girl rolled her eyes around and picked up the biggest piece of chicken leg for Qi Yanyu. Qi Yanyu immediately kissed the little girl on the cheek. Qi Zhenzhen pouted her lips and took a handkerchief to wipe the oil off her face again and again.
Qi Yanyu: ...
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
After dinner, the little girl couldn't resist the sleepiness and went for a nap. Qi Yanyu sent Jiang Yunzheng out of the house and reminded Jiang Yunzheng to go to Baoguo Temple the next day.
"I know, I know." Jiang Yunzheng smiled helplessly.
After returning to the Shi Mansion, Jiang Yunzheng prepared the medicine and sent it to Qingfeng Courtyard.
Song took out some banknotes from the bottom of the box and said, "Yun Zheng, you've been away a lot lately, so you need money a lot."
Song's banknotes were worth at least three thousand taels. Jiang Yunzheng looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, keep these for yourself. The Princess and His Majesty have both given me money. If I spend all of it, I'll ask you for more. Don't refuse me then."
Song's face was kind, and she tapped Jiang Yunzheng's forehead: "You."
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and said nothing.
Song continued, "My mother's family suffered a disaster back then, and my parents were killed by enemies. Fortunately, a loyal servant escorted me away. I only took some of my property and jewelry with me, less than one-tenth or one-twelfth. But when I pawned it at the pawnshop, I unexpectedly found quite a bit of silver."
After arriving in the capital, Song prepared her own dowry, which included a restaurant, a pastry shop, a silk shop, and some land outside the city.
Jiang Yunzheng pinched Song's shoulders and said, "Mom, just put your heart at ease."
Song sighed: "However, it is not easy to leave the Shi Mansion smoothly."
Jiang Yunzheng paused, "Mom, leave it to me. I'll find a way."
She whispered a few words in Song's ear, and Song's brows relaxed: "That's fine, the worst that can happen is that we'll fall out."
The Double Ninth Festival soon arrived.
Early in the morning, the eldest princess's ceremonial procession set out from the capital in a grand procession. Many ladies from aristocratic families also went with them. In addition, even the King of Zhou and his wife came along this time.
Qin was also among them. She was not qualified to pray together, but she was just wandering around Baoguo Temple and taking Shi Xiaoya to make friends with other noble ladies.
There is absolutely no way Shi Xiaoya would marry Qi San, but when she reaches the age of engagement, Qin will have to make more plans for her daughter.
Jiang Yunzheng was in the same carriage with Qin's mother and daughter. Along the way, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but she could feel Qin's sinister gaze.
Jiang Yunzheng sneered in her heart and slowly opened her eyes. "Madam Qin, is there something on my face?"
Qin immediately looked away and said nothing.
