Chapter 104 Meal
Tong Jia was perceptive.
It was clear that Yuying's eyes had just fallen on her when her sharp eyes immediately met Yuying's.
"What are you looking at? Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Tong Jia's chest was heaving violently, the words she squeezed out from between her teeth were filled with raging anger, and her eyes were like a burning flame that wanted to burn into Yuying's heart. She looked even more angry than Yuying's attitude when she sat down just now.
Yuying was nailed to the spot by Tong Jia's questioning. She didn't know where to put her eyes. She kept avoiding Tong Jia, but she didn't know where to look.
Looking at Yuying's expression, Tong Jia believed that Yuying was feeling guilty, and was even more certain that Yuying was feeling sorry for her.
Her breathing was rapid and she stared at Yuying intently.
“Cough cough cough…”
The breathing sound turned into a more rapid cough. Zi Chang, who was standing silently on the side, hurried forward and patted Tong Jia's back, asking her to slow down her breathing.
Yuying was extremely panicked and quickly said, "My queen! Please believe me! I definitely don't mean to pity you!"
Yuying almost raised her hand to swear, and in her panic she even forgot to introduce herself.
The sudden coughing of Tong Jia was not only startling Yuying, but also Yinzhen who was standing beside him. He stopped teasing Yinsi with his things, stuffed the tiger-headed doll in his hand into Yinsi's hand, and hurried over to look at Tong Jia with a frown like a little old man, "Mother, are you okay?"
After being comforted by the two, Tong Jia finally stopped coughing. She patted Zi Shang with her hand, signaling her not to continue.
She looked at Yinzhen tenderly again and touched his head, "Mother is fine, don't be afraid, Xiaosi."
Zishang picked up the tea beside her and asked Tong Jia to take a sip.
After Tong Jia calmed the two people down, she looked at Yuying, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Yuying was entangled by Yinsi.
After Yinzhen stuffed the doll into Yinsi's hands, he was stunned, as if he didn't understand why his brother didn't continue to play with him.
He looked around, trying to find his brother.
Not only did he see his brother, he also noticed Yuying sitting next to him. His eyes lit up, and he didn't care about wanting his brother to play with him just now. He put the doll in the nanny's hand, walked over in a few steps, stretched out his hands to hug Yuying, and called sweetly: "Aunt~"
Yuying opened her arms in surprise and caught him.
When she saw that Yinsi didn't call her just now, she thought that Yinsi didn't remember her. After all, children have short memories, not to mention that she rarely met Yinsi.
In fact, it was not as Yuying thought, Yinsi had not forgotten her. On the contrary, Yinsi always remembered this aunt with a good smell.
After he moved to a new place, he would still miss her, wondering if it was because he had moved and his aunt couldn't find a place to stay, so she didn't come to see him.
During those days, Yinsi was restless in Chengqian Palace, and Tong Jia thought that he was not used to the new residence, but Yinsi didn't know how to express it, so the matter was put on hold.
Just now, Yinsi was a child with high concentration. All his attention was on the tiger-head doll. He did not notice Yuying coming, nor did he notice their conversation or Tong Jia's cough.
If Yuying knew, she would have to say that Yinsi would probably be a good candidate for scientific research in modern times.
If Yinzhen had not stopped, he probably would not have noticed until Yuying left.
At this moment, Yinsi was of course happy as he finally saw the person he had been missing for a long time.
The reason why Tong Jia was stunned was naturally because she had raised Yinsi for almost a year and had never seen Yinsi show such emotions.
She always thought that Yinsi was born to be a calm and taciturn child.
Seeing that Tong Jia and Yinzhen were looking at her, Yuying smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I have met the Eighth Prince a few times, so this is..."
Everything is implied.
And then, Yinsi stayed in Yuying's arms and refused to come out.
Even if Yinzhen teased him with the doll again, he had no intention of moving another step.
Seeing this, Yinzhen had no choice but to sit next to Tong Jia in a frustrated manner. He glanced at Yuying resentfully, as if to say that his eighth brother had never been so close to him!
Yuying didn't know what was going on. It seemed that from the very beginning, Yinsi had opened his heart to her without any guard.
Yuying recalled that she first noticed Yinsi because he looked very much like an autistic patient she had seen in a video.
Slow reaction and stuttering speech.
At first, Yuying thought that this was because Concubine Hui abused him. But later she found that Yinsi seemed to simply not speak often, which led to the retardation of his language development system.
That's why every time they met, she would guide him to talk more.
But after not seeing each other for a long time, Yinsi started talking to Yuying, and even though he still stuttered a little, it was much better than before.
All this has a lot to do with Tong Jia's meticulous care.
Yuying looked at Tong Jia, who really loved Kangxi's children and treated them equally.
She would not love someone as unreservedly as Tong Jia did, but she admired Tong Jia for being able to do all this.
Seeing that his aunt's attention had shifted away from him, Yinsi hurriedly reached out his hand to turn Yuying's face back.
Yuying could only lower her head and look at Yinsi again.
Yinsi was satisfied and continued chattering with Yuying.
The admiration in Yuying's eyes was obvious, and Tong Jia was completely confused. If I remember correctly, I just yelled at her, right?
So, she was about to ask.
At this time, Lu Chen and others who went to Qingxi Bookstore to get lunch finally came back.
Seeing so many people in Hongrui Pavilion, it was definitely not Yuying who was the only one there as she had thought. She hurried forward to pay her respects, holding a vegetable basket in her hand. She didn't know whether she should set the table for Yuying, so she could only use her eyes to ask Yuying.
Receiving Lu Chen's signal, Yu Ying temporarily put Yin Si aside and asked, "Have the queen and the two princes had their meal? Would you like to have some with me?"
Yuying asked Luchen to open the food basket.
Tong Jia was about to say no but couldn't say it.
She could only nod.
Yuying was still eating stir-fried dishes today, with a strong aroma that Tong Jia had never tasted before.
Yuying didn't expect that she would run into Tong Jia and the two of them would magically develop into having lunch together.
Tong Jia was eating something she had never tasted before, and thought that this was something Kangxi had specially prepared for Yuying, so she took a bite of the sweet and sour pork ribs resentfully. She wanted to eat more, because this was prepared by her cousin, and she couldn't let Concubine Jin have it for free.
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's favor should be merciful.
After eating Yuying's meal, Tong Jia felt embarrassed to be cold to Yuying again.
The two spent the entire afternoon in peace.
On the way back to her residence, Tong Jia seemed very dissatisfied with her performance and said angrily to Zi Shang: "If Xiao Ba hadn't been reluctant to leave her, I would have left long ago!"
Zichang smiled but said nothing.
