Chapter 1403 My Sister
Lin Xi held Yu Jiao's hand tightly and whispered, "My cousin is young. If you live in such a big bed, someone will definitely come to look for you. I think it's just right for my cousin to live with the young lady of the Shangguan family."
Yu Jiao thought so too. She didn't want to live with Miss Wang. She had been observing Miss Wang since she entered the palace. She didn't like the look in Wang Yun's eyes. It would be better for her to choose someone who was about her age. Not only would the room be spacious, but she could also use their similar age to shut everyone up.
Yu Jiao pulled her cousin forward and said, "My bed is very big, it's too empty for me to live alone. Sister Shangguan, do you want to live with me? It's just right for us to share a bed."
Shang Guanli agreed straightforwardly, fearing that Miss Zhou would regret it: "Okay."
Her mother said that she could go to the palace with Miss Zhou, so she wanted to talk to Miss Zhou when she entered the palace. However, Miss Zhou had been with Princess Linxi, so it was not convenient for her to go. Now that Miss Zhou had invited her, she had to seize the opportunity.
Wang Yun pursed her lips. She was assigned to the worst room, but she didn't take it to heart because she had planned to live with Zhou Yujiao.
She was feeling quite proud of herself, thinking that even if she got the worst assignment, she could still live in a nice house. Now her plan has failed.
Yu Jiao reached out and took Miss Shangguan's plump hand, "Let's go back to the house. We still have to pack our luggage."
The Shangguan family's maid had gratitude in her eyes. Their daughter was the youngest and had been spoiled since childhood. She was not good at quarreling and was about to cry because of being bullied just now.
Yu Jiao looked at Wang Yun and said embarrassedly, "Sister Wang, I'm sorry, my bed is just right for two children. So Miss Shangguan's room can no longer be used. Can you give it to Sister Wang?"
Shangguan Li was also embarrassed, "Okay, I'll give my room to Miss Wang."
Wang Yun regretted not speaking up first and could only comfort himself by saying that he had moved to a new room.
Wen Ling sneered, "Ms. Zhou is now the good guy."
Yu Jiao said shyly, "I'd be embarrassed."
Wen Ling, "......"
No, her words were sarcasm, not compliment!
At night, Zhou Shuren came back very late. He lay on the kang without moving. "It hurts so much."
Zhulan was startled, "What happened?"
"The skin on the inner thighs is worn out from riding."
Zhulan frowned, "Why are you still riding a horse? Can you apply medicine to your thigh? Have you seen a doctor?"
Zhou Shuren lay on his stomach and said sullenly, "The imperial physician has examined it and has applied ointment."
Zhulan carefully helped Zhou Shuren change his clothes, "Are you still going to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow?"
"No, I'll take a few days off. This is a blessing in disguise."
The emperor still didn't believe that his injury was so serious. After seeing the emperor, the imperial physician fell silent and took the initiative to give him a vacation this time.
Zhulan asked, "Where did you go with the emperor? Why do you need to ride a horse?"
"I went to see the new cannon."
Speaking of this, Zhou Shuren's tone became excited. All men like weapons, and today he has broadened his horizons in ancient times.
Zhulan listened quietly and saw that the area on the inside of her husband's thigh where the straps were tied was small. It must have been painful. Her nose felt sore. She could imagine Shuren riding a horse while enduring the pain, and tears began to fall.
Zhou Shuren felt anxious, "Why are you still crying?"
"Look at your legs."
"It's okay, it's just a scratch. It will heal after a while. It's not even considered an injury."
Zhulan wiped her tears and pursed her lips, "If this is not considered an injury, then what kind of injury is considered an injury?"
Zhou Shuren said stubbornly, "I really don't feel any pain anymore."
"Um."
"I pretended to make you feel bad."
Zhulan reached out and touched the straps. Zhou Shuren, "!!"
It hurts, it hurts, my face is a little distorted!
The next day, Zhou Shuren rested comfortably. It was so nice not to have to attend the morning court. The only downside was that he had to abstain from spicy food.
When Zhulan came back from visiting Wenyue and Zhixuan, she saw Zhou Shuren secretly eating dried shrimps.
Zhou Shuren laughed dryly, "I just smelled it."
"Well, you are amazing. You can smell half a plate of dried shrimps."
Zhou Shuren looked away guiltily, "Why did you come back so soon?"
"You weren't given a chance to destroy the evidence?"
"Ahem."
Zhulan sat down and said, "I was worried that you would come back soon. I don't know how Yujiao is doing in the palace. Mingrui followed the prince out of the capital, and now there is no letter from him."
"You are destined to worry. The children are grown up now and can take care of themselves."
"Oh, I don't know who asked the emperor for the news."
Zhou Shuren touched his nose, "How is the preparation for Zhixuan's full moon banquet going?"
"That's about it."
Inside the palace, the young ladies did not see the Queen yesterday. The Queen was in poor health, but today she is in much better spirits and summoned several young ladies into the palace.
Linxi was worried about her cousin Yujiao, so she came early in the morning.
Yujiao changed her clothes and asked, "Cousin is going too?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "I'm not going. I just came to see what my cousin is wearing."
It seemed as if she was worried about the Empress going with her. She would not go with her. However, the Empress' aunt's tastes changed after she became pregnant. The colors of some clothes made her feel upset.
Linxi saw her cousin's blue dress and blinked, "This dress doesn't look good. Let's change."
The Queen Aunt doesn't like pink, doesn't like purple, and doesn't react to blue, so for safety's sake it's better to choose green.
Shangguan Li took advantage and changed her clothes as well. Both of them wore light green dresses and dressed like sisters.
Wen Ling was wearing a light blue dress and saw someone wearing purple. She was looking forward to seeing a good show, but unfortunately she couldn't see Miss Zhou's good show. It's good to have someone in the palace.
When we arrived at the palace bedroom, a female official came out and said, "Ladies, please come in."
Yu Jiao and Shangguan Li, who were younger, walked behind and lined up to greet each other after entering the house.
The queen had gained a lot of weight and looked unwell. She sat leaning back. She was well aware of what happened yesterday. She glanced at the ladies without revealing her emotions. "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
The queen was not in high spirits. She asked each person a few questions and then went to rest.
Yujiao and Shangguanli walked together hand in hand. They shared little secrets last night and became closer.
Shangguan Li patted his chest and said, "If it was my sister who was meeting the Empress, she would definitely not be as scared as I am."
Yu Jiao said, "My sister won't be afraid either."
Shangguan Li shook her head, "My sister is so fierce, her mouth is especially venomous, and she beats me. My sister is the only one who beats me at home."
Yujiao stretched out her hand, "Do you want a slap?"
"How do you know?"
Yu Jiao said quietly, "My sister is also capable of doing this."
Shangguan Li held Yujiao's hand tightly, "It's not easy for you either."
"The same to you."
Shangguan Li added: "When my sister gets angry, she's really scary. My brothers don't dare to say a word."
Yujiao, "My sister is also scary when she's angry. My sisters are all afraid of her."
The two little girls looked at each other and sighed, wondering why their sister was not gentle!
The maid behind the two little girls looked at each other awkwardly, then wondered whether she should go back and tell on them. But forget it, she decided not to tell on them, as her own young lady had suffered enough.
