During this period, Yan Bao lost weight because he was worried about Ah Huai.
Every day there was no news from the emperor, Yan Bao would be worried. He would not enjoy his meals anymore, would eat less, and would become thinner.
Besides, it is very hot this year. In June in Beijing, the sun is scorching and many people can't stand it.
Yan Bao is the same, relying on ice cream to survive every day.
Thanks to Yan Bao who froze a lot of old popsicles, mung bean popsicles, and red bean popsicles during the cold weather last year, Shen Shoufu and his friends can eat delicious and cool popsicles in the summer.
There was also plenty of clean ice, the kind you can eat.
Shave it into a smoothie and pour watermelon juice on it. It tastes so good.
Yue Lingwan fell in love with it and wanted to have a cup every day. It was not until her period came in the second month that she had a stomachache. She realized it was because she had eaten too much cold food, so she became more restrained and drank a cup every few days to satisfy her craving.
Seeing that Yan Bao had lost weight, Prime Minister Shen felt very distressed. After discussing with Madam Shen, they decided to take her out for a walk during her day off, or to pick peaches. The yellow peaches on the farm were ready to be picked. She missed the opportunity last year, so this year Yan Bao could go pick peaches to divert her attention.
Yan Bao didn't want to go. She looked at Shen Shoufu eagerly: [Dad and Mom, I want to go find Ah Huai.]
Shen Shoufu pretended not to hear his inner voice and avoided Yan Bao’s pleading gaze.
Yan Bao could only go to see Mrs. Shen, who always loved her very much. Mrs. Shen pretended not to understand what Yan Bao meant and played dumb.
Yan Bao sighed in frustration: "Forget it, my parents will definitely not agree. They think I'm still young and it would be dangerous. I know they care about me and are afraid that something bad might happen to me."
With my current skills and my ability to foresee danger, nothing will go wrong. It's a shame my parents don't know. If they knew, they wouldn't worry about me getting hurt.
[Even if something were to go wrong, it would be someone else’s fault.]
[If my parents don't agree, then I'll just be an unfilial daughter and leave tonight.]
Shen Shoufu: “…”
Mrs. Shen: “…”
The couple were both anxious. If they hadn't wanted to expose the fact that they could read minds, they would have immediately objected and asked Yan Bao to give up the idea.
Yan Bao didn't know that her parents knew about her little thoughts, so she found an excuse to go back and pack her luggage. She and Ziyun set off together so that they could look after each other.
Madam Shen watched Yan Bao leave, and suddenly didn't know what to do.
Chief Minister Shen rubbed his brows, looked at Madam Shen, and sighed: "Children are all debts, especially this daughter. As a husband, I have no choice. Where is Madam?"
Madam Shen also sighed: "There's nothing I can do."
The couple stared at each other and sighed.
For dinner, all the dishes were Yan Bao’s favorites. Yan Bao was a little surprised when he saw the sumptuous dinner.
Shen Shoufu picked up a big chicken drumstick for Yan Bao and asked her to eat more.
Madam Shen peeled a shrimp for her and watched Yan Bao eat it.
Yan Bao felt embarrassed to eat alone, so she picked up some food for them and asked them to eat more. Knowing that her father liked to eat braised pork, the fat but not greasy braised pork was indeed delicious, Yan Bao picked up a few pieces for Shen Shoufu.
Knowing that her mother liked to eat fish, Yan Bao picked up some fish and gave it to Mrs. Shen.
During the meal, you pick up food for me and I pick up food for you. Our family of three is very warm.
Seeing this, Yue Lingwan even missed her parents.
Yan Bao also picked up a piece of braised pork for Yue Lingwan, knowing that she also liked it. The cook at home made it especially delicious. Yan Bao gave her some money today and asked her to make a big pot so that when she went out of town, she could also enjoy the cook's braised pork.
Yan Bao will go to the kitchen later and hide all the dishes she asked the cook to prepare in the space.
Mrs. Shen knew about Yan Bao's little tricks, and she did not stop the cook from cooking for Yan Bao.
After dinner, Yue Lingwan noticed that her uncle and aunt seemed to have something to say to Yan Bao, so she tactfully left early.
Madam Shen waved Yan Bao over and touched her head: "You have a good rest tonight, and daddy will take you out of the city tomorrow morning."
Yan Bao's eyes widened in disbelief: [Dad, what did you say?]
Shen Shoufu snorted coldly: "Don't think that Dad doesn't know your little thoughts. You want to abandon your parents and go find Ah Huai, right?"
Having been caught in the act, Yan Bao lowered his head guiltily, then shook his head in denial: "I didn't abandon my parents. This isn't about Ah Huai being in danger. If it was my parents missing, I wouldn't just sit there and do nothing."
Just for this sentence, Shen Shoufu decided to let go: "Dad and Mom are worried about you. Since they are worried about you leaving you in the capital, why not let you go and look for someone. It would be best if you can find someone, but if you can't find someone, you have tried your best!"
Yan Bao nodded in agreement: [Yes, I always feel that Ah Huai is in Dongzhou. I must go to Dongzhou. I won’t give up until I go and see him.]
"Take good care of yourself and don't let your parents worry. Ask your master to accompany you, otherwise you are not allowed to go out."
Yan Bao: “….”
When it was Mrs. Shen’s turn, her eyes were already wet, and she held Yan Bao for a long time before speaking: “Don’t let mother worry, come back safely.”
Yan Bao hugged Madam Shen reluctantly: [Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom, thank you for your understanding and support. Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely and won't let you worry.]
The family of three was sentimental for a while, and Mrs. Shen began to pack Yan Bao's luggage.
Looking at the things that Madam Shen prepared for her, Yan Bao opened her mouth, not knowing how to complain. In the end, she accepted her mother's kindness. Even if she didn't use it, she could just put it in the space.
Afraid that Yan Bao would be hungry, he asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food and drinks.
Yan Bao did not refuse this and hid them all in the space.
Just take it out and eat when you are hungry. There is still plenty of space, so you don’t have to worry even if you close down the kitchen.
The next day, when Yan Bao was about to go out, Mrs. Shen's tears never stopped. Yan Bao cried so much that he was embarrassed to go out. He stuffed a handkerchief into the hands of Chief Minister Shen and asked him to wipe Mrs. Shen's tears.
