Chapter 206: Sweet Daily Life (10)
Yuan Yao disappeared as he turned a corner.
"Brother! Wait for me!" Yuan Yuan took a step forward with his short legs and chased after him.
Yuan Yao ran back to Fengyi Palace in one breath.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou were sitting at the stone table drinking tea and chatting. When they looked up and saw Yuan Yao running in breathlessly, they called out in unison, "Yuan Yao."
"Queen Mother, Emperor Father." Yuan Yao ran to Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou.
"Are you back so soon?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou glanced behind Yuan Yao and asked, "Where's my sister?"
Yuan Yao replied: "My sister—"
"Brother!" Yuan Yuan suddenly appeared.
Yuan Yao was so scared that he quickly hid behind Jiang Zhaoyue.
"What's wrong?" Pei Jingzhou asked in confusion.
"Sister just caught a toad with her bare hands." Yuan Yao pointed at Yuan Yuan's chubby little hands.
Yuan Yuan ran up to Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou, and explained in a childish but serious voice, "Mother, Father, there was a toad in the grass, and my brother was scared. I couldn't chase it away, so I caught it and threw it away!"
"You grabbed the toad and threw it away?" Jiang Zhaoyue grasped the key sentence.
"Yes!" Yuan Yuan nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I threw it very far! Brother can't see it! Don't be afraid!"
Pei Jingzhou's mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!" Yuan Yuan shook his head and continued, "It doesn't bite!"
"It looks scary." Pei Jingzhou remembered that Princess Duojia was also afraid of toads.
"It's not scary." Yuan Yuan didn't think the toad was scary.
"...Okay." I have to say, this daughter is really brave.
"Brother, let's go see Yuyu." Yuan Yuan looked at Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao turned and hid behind Pei Jingzhou: "Your hand has caught the toad."
Yuan Yuan raised his right hand: "This hand is grabbing."
"Yes, you didn't even wash your hands." Yuan Yao said.
"Sister, go wash up." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Okay." Yuan Yuan obediently ran to wash her hands. After coming back, she took Yuan Yao's hand to go see Yu Yu again.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body when he thought of his sister's chubby little hands catching a toad. But his sister caught the toad to protect herself, and he kept rejecting his sister, which was really wrong.
He thought about it and agreed readily: "Okay, let's go see Yuyu."
"Let's go." Yuan Yuan stretched out his right hand again, ready to grab Yuan Yao's hand.
Yuan Yao suddenly walked around to Yuan Yuan's left and grabbed Yuan Yuan's left hand: "Let's go."
Yuan Yuan didn't know what Yuan Yao was thinking, but she was happy when her brother held her hand. She turned around and said, "Mother, Father, my brother and I are here to look after the fish."
"Go ahead." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled.
The brother and sister went to watch the fish hand in hand again. When they passed by the grass, the butterflies had already run away, so Yuanyuan didn't try to catch them.
Just when I was almost at the lake, a few raindrops hit my face.
"It's raining!" Yuan Yao raised his little face to look at the sky.
Yuan Yuan also looked up and said, "Wow, it's really raining."
"Let's go back quickly." Yuan Yao held Yuan Yuan's chubby little hand tightly and prepared to go back.
Yuan Yuan refused: "I want to see Yu Yu."
Yuan Yao pointed to the sky and said, "God, it's going to rain."
Yuan Yuan insisted: "Just look at Yu Yu!"
Yuan Yao discussed, "Let's go see Yu Yu when the weather clears up."
Yuan Yuan shook his head: "No! I want to see it now!"
Yuan Yao explained the situation: "If we go to see Yuyu, we'll get caught in the rain!"
"Just get wet in the rain!" Yuan Yuan wanted to watch the fish even in the rain.
Yuan Yao began to talk about the consequences: "If you get caught in the rain, you'll get sick! You'll have to drink very bitter medicine!"
"I won't drink it!" Yuan Yuan had taken medicine before and knew how bitter it was.
Yuan Yao said harshly, "Then your illness will never be cured. Just lie in bed and suffer."
Yuan Yuan said disapprovingly, "I'll take the elixir! I'll take the elixir! That'll be all right!"
Yuan Yao was puzzled: "Where did the elixir come from?"
"Brother is the Great Sage. Brother goes to heaven to find Laojun and get the elixir!" Yuan Yao likes to listen to "Journey to the West" and pesters Jiang Zhaoyue to tell it over and over again. Yuan Yuan also listens and not only knows the characters, weapons and plot of "Journey to the West", but also knows that his brother's favorite is the Monkey King Sun Wukong.
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why should I give you the elixir?"
"I am Master Hu." Yuan Yuan spoke unclearly but his attitude was firm.
Yuan Yao asked, "Who are you, Master?"
Yuan Yuan replied confidently: "Brother Shi Hu, brother wants to fight the monster, find me food, find me something to drink, and save me."
Yuan Yao frowned: "Why are you dreaming so beautifully!"
Yuan Yuan said solemnly, "This is how the Great Sage treats Master Hu."
It’s true!
The Great Sage really treats his master like this!
But Yuan Yao couldn't treat his sister like this, as it would spoil her. He said firmly: "Taishang Laojun will not give you the elixir!"
Yuan Yuan asked, "Why?"
"You didn't listen and insisted on getting wet in the rain. You deserve it. Those who deserve it don't get the magic pill!"
"I, I..." Yuan Yuan stammered, "I want to see Yuyu."
"Yuyu's home is in the lake, they won't run away." Yuan Yao advised again: "Wait until the weather clears up, then we can go and see it again. It will be the same, right?"
Yuan Yuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said happily, "Yes."
"Then let's go back quickly, otherwise we will get gonorrhea." Yuan Yao coaxed.
Yuan Yuan was coaxed into talking by her brother and nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's run!" Yuan Yao grabbed Yuan Yuan's left hand and ran towards Fengyi Palace.
The palace maids chased after him with umbrellas.
The moment Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan ran into the main hall, heavy rain began to pour down.
Yuan Yao said excitedly, "We ran so fast, we almost got wet."
Yuan Yuan imitated his brother's words: "I almost got wet."
"It's already wet." Jiang Zhaoyue walked over.
Pei Jingzhou tapped Yuan Yuan's shoulder and said, "Look, it's all wet here."
Yuan Yuan turned around and saw: "Oh, it's really wet."
Pei Jingzhou said: "Go change your clothes quickly!"
"Father, help me change." Yuan Yuan hugged Pei Jingzhou's long legs.
"Father, please help me change it too!" Yuan Yao continued.
Yuan Yuan turned to look at Yuan Yao: "Father will always, always change Mother's clothes!"
Pei Jingzhou was stunned when he heard this.
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.
The palace maids lowered their heads, pretending they heard nothing.
"When did father change mother's clothes?" Yuan Yao asked immediately.
"Today, I saw that my father kissed my mother and the queen, and my father also--"
Pei Jingzhou reached out and covered his little daughter's mouth: "Come on, father will change your clothes."
"Father, there's me, there's me," Yuan Yao said.
Pei Jingzhou held Yuan Yuan in one hand and Yuan Yao in the other, strode out of the main hall, skillfully changed the clothes of the two children, and then carried them back.
"Father, I want to drink some water." Yuan Yao said.
Yuan Yuan followed up, "Father, I want some water too."
"Go." Pei Jingzhou put the two children down.
The two children ran to the table.
"I'll pour some water." Xiang Qiao said.
Yuan Yao stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little hand, and gently touched the teapot: "The water is not hot, I can pour it myself."
"Yes." Xiangqiao did not leave and stayed by the side taking care of the two children.
"Brother, pour it for me too, pour it for me too." Yuan Yuan urged his brother with his chubby little hands on the table.
"Don't be anxious, sister. I'll pour it for you. I'll pour it for you first." Yuan Yao poured a bowl of tea for Yuan Yuan first.
Yuan Yuan held up the tea bowl with his chubby little hands and walked towards Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou unsteadily.
"What to do?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"Mother, Father, have some water." Yuan Yuan brought the tea bowl to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Pei Jingzhou was about to refuse when he saw Jiang Zhaoyue take the tea bowl, drink it all in one gulp, and said to Yuan Yuan with a smile: "Wow, the water Yuan Yuan sent is really delicious."
"Brother!" Yuan Yuan did not forget his brother's contribution, and pointed his little finger at Yuan Yao.
"The water my brother poured is so delicious!" Jiang Zhaoyue immediately added.
Yuan Yuan was so happy that she ran back to Yuan Yao and said, "Brother, pour it again, pour it again."
Knowing that Yuan Yuan was pouring the tea for his mother, Yuan Yao poured her another bowl of tea.
Yuan Yuan held the tea bowl and staggered to Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou again, handing the tea bowl to Pei Jingzhou: "Father, have some water."
Pei Jingzhou took it and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"We should give positive feedback to children for their efforts, so that they will be more willing to put in effort and be more filial," said Jiang Zhaoyue.
"You're right." Pei Jingzhou drank up the water and imitated Jiang Zhaoyue in praising the two children.
The two children drank water happily and praised their father for his good dressing skills from time to time.
As Pei Jingzhou listened, he remembered what Yuan Yuan had just said about him helping Jiang Zhaoyue put on clothes and kissing her, so he looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"What are you looking at me for?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"It's all your fault." Pei Jingzhou said with resentment.
"Why are you blaming me for no reason?" Jiang Zhaoyue was puzzled.
"It's all your fault for seducing me. I had such a ridiculous time with you so early in the morning that Yuan Yuan saw it when I was dressing you and kissing you." Pei Jingzhou acted like a bullied young wife.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help laughing.
Pei Jingzhou was dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at?"
"You're so cute when you smile." Jiang Zhaoyue reached out to pinch Pei Jingzhou's handsome face.
Pei Jingzhou took the initiative to hold her hand: "Don't make trouble, the child is here."
"I know."
“They’ll see.”
"Let them see it. When they see how loving we are, their hearts will be filled with warmth. When they encounter difficulties and obstacles in the future, they will feel more reassured and confident when they think about the harmony of their family." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't think it was a bad thing for the children to see her and Pei Jingzhou kissing and hugging each other.
Whenever Pei Jingzhou thought about how his father and mother had once loved each other and loved him together, he felt that life was beautiful... So he was persuaded by Jiang Zhaoyue again.
"Really?" Jiang Zhaoyue rested her chin on Pei Jingzhou's shoulder and looked at him with a bright smile.
"You still have to be a little careful." Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue have been married for six or seven years. Under Jiang Zhaoyue's influence, he can accept many things, but he is still a little old-fashioned in his bones.
Privately, Jiang Zhaoyue liked to tease Pei Jingzhou. She found it so adorable to see him blush, feel shy, and have his mood swings.
Sometimes, she would take their identities into consideration, so she would just say "OK" obediently and sit up straight.
So good!
So cute!
Even though she had already given birth to two children, Pei Jingzhou felt that Jiang Zhaoyue was still the most naughty and the cutest, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenguo's Mansion has brought Master Lu Ming with her." Nanny Yun came in and said.
"Little brother!" Jiang Zhaoyue and Zhang Siyin had been close since they were in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Later, when Jiang Zhaoyue entered the palace, the two of them often exchanged letters. Having a child gave them even more topics to talk about, so they often visited each other. After a while, the children became familiar with each other. When Yuan Yao and Yuan Yuan heard Lu Ming coming, they turned around and ran out together: "Little brother!"
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou also stood up.
Zhang Siyin pulled Lu Ming in and bowed to Jiang Zhaoyue and the others.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome." Jiang Zhaoyue stepped forward, helped Zhang Siyin up, and asked, "It's raining heavily. Are you getting wet?"
"The rain stopped just when we got off the carriage," said Zhang Siyin.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Zhang Siyin to sit down.
Pei Jingzhou asked Zhang Siyin about the situation in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Today, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is managed by Pei Maokun and Pei Jingxiao, while Zhang Siyin, Aunt Zhong and Pei Sijing are in charge of the internal affairs. Qingluo also helps out occasionally.
"How is Xiaopeng?" Pei Jingzhou was most concerned about Pei Jingpeng.
"He traveled with Qingluo for a whole year last year and saw many beautiful mountains and rivers of Dajin. His mind became particularly open and his health improved. Last month, he could even walk with a single crutch. He plans to marry Qingluo after the autumn harvest." Zhang Siyin said.
"I will definitely attend his wedding banquet then." Pei Jingzhou was delighted.
"My second brother will definitely be very happy." Zhang Siyin said.
"How have Pei Yan and Pei Che been living since they built their mansion?" Pei Yan and Pei Che made contributions in the battles in the border states and the southwest, and were rewarded by Emperor Hong Qi. They moved to the Zhenguo Mansion the year before last and last year respectively to live their own lives.
"They are all doing well. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, they would return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to stay for two days to honor their father and mother." Zhang Siyin smiled and said, "Pei Yan and his wife have always had a smooth life. Pei Che and Qin You are now as sweet as honey."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Pei Yan has nothing to say, his father-in-law and mother-in-law have always treated him well.
"As for Pei Che... at the Spring Banquet, when he was playing the flute and Qin You was playing the guzheng to accompany him, they immediately fell in love and started to have feelings for each other.
"Later, the Empress saved Qin You's life at the Wishing Bridge. The Qin family was very grateful, but Qin You was, after all, the legitimate daughter of a prominent family. Lord Qin and Madam Wang were still somewhat concerned about Pei Che's status as a bastard, and therefore did not approve of their marriage.
"Qin You is also in great pain.
“Occasionally, when two people meet in a restaurant, on the street, or at a banquet, they just look at each other from a distance, saying nothing, and not knowing what to say.
"Because of this, Pei Che became an alcoholic and became negative.
"Fortunately, he later figured it out, studied hard, and practiced martial arts. Then he encountered the battle in the border states. He and Pei Yan listened to their father's advice and went to support. They made great contributions and were awarded the title of general.
“After returning, the first thing he did was to propose marriage to the Qin family.
"Lord Qin and Madam Wang saw his ability and ambition, and knew their daughter would not suffer hardship or grievance if she followed him, so they agreed to the marriage.
"Not long after, Pei Che made another contribution in the Southwest Campaign. Lord Qin and Madam Wang were even happier. Now, the two elders treat Pei Che even more attentively than their own son, Qin Lu."
"Pei Che should also be filial to Lord Qin and Madam Wang." Jiang Zhaoyue continued.
Zhang Siyin nodded. "Yes, he often cares about the health of the two elders, sends them supplements, and takes Qin You to live in the Qin Mansion for at least three days and at most ten days. He is afraid that Qin You will miss his parents. He treats Qin You very well. He holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her. Now that Qin You is pregnant, he loves her even more."
"Qin You is pregnant?" Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.
Zhang Siyin smiled and said, "It's been more than four months."
"Very good."
"Well, the young couple lives happily every day."
"very nice."
Zhang Siyin then spoke about the other people in the Zhenguo Mansion: "Si Ya is also living well in her husband's family. Now the only things that are worrying us are Si Jing's marriage and Heng Ge'er's studies."
Jiang Zhaoyue wasn't worried: "Si Jing is a capable and independent person, and Heng Ge'er is doing well in school, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yes, they are both sensible." Zhang Siyin said.
"Your Highness, Master Lu Ming, don't fight over it, or you might fall." Xiang Qiao's voice suddenly came over.
Jiang Zhaoyue, Zhang Siyin and Pei Jingzhou looked outside together.
Yuan Yao and Lu Ming were fighting over the chance to sit on the swing in the yard.
"These two kids are fighting again." Zhang Siyin was helpless.
"We've been arguing since the first time we met, and we've been arguing until now." Jiang Zhaoyue stood up.
Pei Jingzhou and Zhang Siyin stood up and prepared to persuade the two children.
Yuan Yuan, who was holding the sepak takraw ball, saw her brother and the little brother fighting over the swing. She threw the sepak takraw ball away and said fiercely, "Don't bully my brother!" Then she took a step forward with her short legs, ran up to them, and started biting Lu Ming's arm.
"Ah! Yuanyuan bit me! It hurts!" Lu Ming cried out "Wow".
Yuan Yuan quickly let go.
Lu Ming raised his hand to hit Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yao hugged Yuan Yuan into his arms and said, "Don't hit my sister!"
Lu Ming couldn't hit her, so he cried and got angry.
"Yuanyuan! Why are you biting me?!" Pei Jingzhou scolded.
"I, I..." Yuan Yuan raised his chubby face and cried loudly towards the sky, his voice directly drowning out Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was stunned. Seeing Yuan Yuan crying so hard, he didn't know whether to cry or not. He asked, "Yuan Yuan, you bit me, why are you crying?"
