Chapter 158 Pure Prayer
Perhaps feeling that it was not enough, Xiao Ji rubbed Qing Wu's cheek with his own. Their skins were pressed tightly together, and their body temperatures were transmitted and circulated between each other. Only then could he barely suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.
It was unknown how long it was before the two separated. After they separated, their cheeks were flushed and there were tears in the corners of their eyes. They stared at each other for a moment and finally smiled.
"This is good news, let's not cry." Qing Wu wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Ji's eyes with his fingertips and said with a smile.
"yes……"
This is a good thing. Even though it is not as good as the position of crown prince before, he has returned to the capital and is closer to the center of power. Moreover, this may be a better opportunity.
"We should think about what to do next."
Qing Wu spoke. She must be able to calm down from her excitement more easily than Xiao Ji, and she started thinking.
"I'll ask the villagers to continue looking after the fields in Hedong Village. Planting the seedlings will basically depend on the weather. I can come with Shanshan to inspect them."
It's the newly built medical hut... The people around here have to go back to see their old doctor. A hint of melancholy crossed Qingwu's brows. "And I just ate the first crop of the fruits and vegetables I planted in the backyard myself."
Xiao Ji chuckled when he heard this, "What's the big deal? The capital isn't far from here, you can come back anytime you want..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ji suddenly remembered that although he had the title of prince, his palace had not yet been determined. However, this was not a big deal. He would have to enter the palace before returning to the capital, and would probably have to stay there for a few days. It just so happened that he had something to do...
"Let's go freshen up first."
"Um."
The two of them walked out together, but they didn't expect that Nanny Xia, who was rich and powerful, had already brought them some water. They had bright smiles on their faces. They saw that the officials from the Ministry of Rites had been led by Zhao Tong to another table not far away, waiting in the corridor of the palace where the sun was not shining. It was obvious that they already knew.
"Madam, please go to the side hall and we will help you get dressed."
It is hot in the summer, and the well water that has been drawn into buckets and left outside to dry this morning is already hot. Adding some hot water from the stove makes it just right for taking a bath.
The two of them did not hesitate. Qingwu was pulled by Baozhu to the side hall, while Xiao Ji was served by Fugui to the other side. At this time, they finally felt that they really had to leave.
After a simple wash, drying the body, and wringing out the hair, Qingwu sat in front of the mirror. He was still a little dazed, but Yuzhu had already taken out a new set of clothes, the exquisiteness of which could be seen even in the mirror.
Qing Wu couldn't help but look back, looking at the dress that Yuzhu had shaken open, and said in a daze: "I remember, this is... the cloth given by the emperor, right? How did it become a dress?"
When she saw it at that time, she thought that this fabric was of no use in the palace, but now it has become a complete dress, both the embroidery and the style are extraordinary.
The two maids laughed at the same time, and then told Qing Wu the truth, "This is what our son-in-law asked us to buy secretly. He must have been waiting for this day, but he didn't expect it to come so early. He said that all your good clothes before belonged to Xi Qingtong, and he was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable."
Even though Xi Qingtong had only worn those clothes a few times, or had never had the chance to wear them at all, he still felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
"There's more than one set, there are three!"
The two little maids were a little afraid of Xiao Ji at first, but after getting along with him for such a long time, they also noticed Xiao Ji's personality and how much he liked their wives, so they praised him as if he were free.
"Madam, my husband really cares about you."
"Yeah, it's infinitely better than that one, and there are shoes too..."
Listening to their words, Qingwu felt an indescribable sweetness in his heart. It turned out that when she was still thinking about the present, he had already secretly imagined the future. Even if it was just a few clothes and shoes, it was the boy's most pure and beautiful wish.
Qingwu didn't hesitate, immediately standing up and letting Yuzhu put it on. Yuzhu carefully unfolded the light green silk dress. The collar was adorned with pearls, each the size of a red bean, round and radiant with a warm sheen. The hem of the dress was embroidered with the shape of a phoenix tree leaf in varying shades of silk thread, and as she walked, she could almost hear the rustling of leaves.
"Madam, raise your hand." Zhu reminded softly.
Qingwu spread her arms, feeling the touch of the fabric sliding across her skin, and couldn't help but recall the time when she asked Madam Zheng for a brocade dress. At that time, Madam Zheng coaxed her and didn't give it to her, but now she was wearing the brocade dress bestowed by the emperor in the palace.
I don’t know what she feels now?
This thought flashed through Qingwu's mind quickly, but before she had time to think about it, she was attracted by herself in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was dressed in a gorgeous green dress, her skin was as white as jade, and the perfect cut of the dress outlined her slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long black hair fell smoothly behind her, and her glance revealed a clear and warm temperament.
Qingwu hadn't worn fancy clothes for a long time, and now she looked stunning in them. Baozhu praised her and hurriedly pulled Qingwu to sit in front of the dressing table, "Madam, you must dress up nicely today."
She was being helped to dress up, and her attention was originally on herself, but she saw through the mirror that Nanny Xia was standing not far away, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
She understood and whispered, "Mammy, what are you thinking about?"
Aunt Xia hurriedly shook her head, "Nothing... nothing."
She originally wanted to ask the lady how to arrange her life, but Nanny Xia felt that the palace was not a place where anyone could enter. If the lady didn't mention it, she could go back with her son to live out her retirement.
But Qing Wu had already guessed her thoughts. She looked at Nanny Xia in the mirror and sighed, "Nanny, you can fall out with Madam Zheng because of me, and you come all the way to serve me regardless of my status. How could I abandon you? As long as you are willing, you can be wherever I am in the future."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xia burst into tears: "Madam... naturally, this old slave is willing to follow you."
She was crying, but she couldn't help feeling happy.
My husband has regained his status as a prince, and my wife is a prince's concubine. Can she also be the nanny beside the prince's concubine?
Although Nanny Xia was not on good terms with the rich and powerful, she couldn't help but feel happy at the moment. Sure enough, her decision was the right one! Good people are rewarded...
