“You think you’ll leave when all your patience is exhausted, but you’ll leave too when you’ve accumulated too much disappointment.”
——Si Shuo
***
All she heard was him laughing uncontrollably, his voice still fatally hoarse. Shi Qingmiao felt like she was going crazy.
"Don't make excuses, you just fell in love with me."
My heart felt like it was hit by something, and it was beating very fast, as if it was going to jump out.
She covered her chest with her hands, her eyes and nose were red. She looked at Si Shuo, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, she just felt that this was too bad. She was at a loss and panicked.
"I, I'll go back first."
It was another escape for unknown reasons. Shi Qingmiao ran forward quickly without looking to see if Si Shuo was catching up. Her heartbeat became faster and faster, almost painful.
Of course Si Shuo didn't chase after her. What did she mean?
Are you shy?
On June 12, the whole city returned to peace and the morning sun rose as usual. If it weren't for the red firecracker debris that had not been swept away on the streets, it would seem as if the prince's wedding yesterday had never happened.
The Queen Mother is feeling better now, and now it is not Shi Qingmiao who is accompanying her, but Jin Suting who comes into the palace to accompany her for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
The Queen Mother was not accompanied by so many people. The huge crowd scared away all the butterflies, leaving only Jin Suting to accompany her to appreciate the flowers.
"Look at how many flowers are blooming."
"Yes, the whole garden is filled with fragrance. What flowers does the Queen Mother like?"
"What do I, an old woman, like or dislike?"
It was summer after all, and she started sweating after walking two steps. Jin Suting helped her to the pavilion next to her to rest.
"Don't say that. You must always be healthy and beautiful." Jin Suting was thinking of making a sachet for the Queen Mother. This was what Cao Cao taught her. Putting some mugwort in it can also repel mosquitoes.
"Why didn't I realize that you have such a talkative little mouth before?" The Queen Mother was very happy to be coaxed. Looking at the spring scenery in the garden, she seemed to have become a lot younger.
"Is A Rui treating you well?" Although they had not officially married yet, the Queen Mother knew that the two children were often together. When she asked Helan Ruizhe, he always looked "okay" and was unwilling to talk much, so she had to ask Jin Suting.
"Very good!" Jin Suting answered truthfully. Although she spent every day with Helan Ruizhe studying, this kind of life was very fulfilling and she was very happy. "He taught me painting and martial arts. Now I can even perform a complete set of boxing!"
"Who's asking you that?" The Queen Mother said with a "tsk!" "I'm asking about your relationship!"
Jin Suting forced a smile, so was the Queen Mother checking up on her grandson's wife?
"It's fine..." She was at a loss for words here. She was really embarrassed to talk about this topic with her elders.
"Very good, didn't you just say it was very good?" The Queen Mother frowned in dissatisfaction, like an unhappy child, "Su'er, although A Rui is my grandson, if he bullies you, you must tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!"
"Oh, no need! No need," Jin Suting was flattered. "We have a very good relationship and a good affection. He wouldn't dare bully me. Don't worry, Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother was skeptical: "Really?"
In her eyes, Helan Ruizhe is just a dull guy, and asking him to laugh is just an act for others to see. She knows at a glance that this kind of guy is useless with girls, he has no romance and no brains!
"Really, really, really!" Jin Suting used this tone three times to emphasize that not a single word she said was a lie.
"Then why do you keep calling me Mother of the Nation?" The Mother of the Nation pretended to be angry and stopped talking to Jin Suting.
Jin Suting herself was also quite confused, but she reacted quickly and called out "Grandma" in a tactful and servile manner.
The Queen Mother was immediately happy and laughed non-stop. She just loved her granddaughter. She loved little kids like Jin Suting who were smart, well-behaved, beautiful, and could cook!
This is a large-scale "I really like the Mother of the Nation" scene. It turns out that if you want to hate someone, you must first understand her. If you still hate her after understanding her, then you really hate her. If you think she is cute after understanding her, then you were blind before.
"Su'er," the Queen Mother suddenly called her with a smile.
Jin Suting listened attentively: "You say."
The Queen Mother looked at the Moon-filled Lake on the other side. The lake reflected the ripples of the sun, as if gold had fallen on it.
"What do you think of that kid Si Shuo?"
Jin Suting couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother said this at this time, and then she thought about Shi Qingmiao and Si Shuo, and immediately had an answer: "It's okay..."
This answer is pertinent. If the Queen Mother agrees with her, then she will praise Si Shuo again. If the Queen Mother joins her in praising Si Shuo, then there is nothing more to say.
The Queen Mother has already recognized Si Shuo! Just like recognizing her!
But Jin Suting had a beautiful idea. If she were wearing glasses now, the Queen Mother's answer would surprise her.
"Are you feeling okay?" The Queen Mother asked back in a questioning tone, catching Jin Suting off guard.
"Is there something wrong?" She really couldn't figure out the Mother of the Nation's tactics. Was she trying to praise her or criticize her?
"That boy is cunning," the Queen Mother began to talk to herself. "He is smart, strategic, and handsome! Judging from his appearance alone, he is a first-class young man."
Jin Suting thought there was hope! Just as she was about to agree, the Queen Mother said:
"But his cleverness and strategy were misplaced. He actually wanted to snatch my granddaughter from me."
The granddaughter that the Queen Mother was talking about should be Shi Qingmiao. After all, Helan Minzhi was originally going to be sent to marry a foreign prince.
