Xu Qing slept until the afternoon before waking up. When he woke up, he not only had a headache after drinking strong alcohol, but also had back pain that was obviously caused by being tormented for a long time after falling asleep.
Su Qian was sleeping soundly on Xu Qing's arm.
Xu Qing stretched out his other hand to support his waist under the quilt.
Wait...there seems to be something wrong...
Where are your clothes?!
Where are the ladies’ clothes?!
But Xu Qing was really overworked at this time. Although he had just woken up, his eyelids became heavier and heavier and he closed his eyes again.
…
It's approaching evening
When Xu Qing woke up, Su Qian had disappeared, leaving only some elegant fragrance lingering in his arms.
Royal Garden
Li Mingyue looked at Su Qian, who was sitting opposite her drinking tea, and asked with some worry: "I've been sleeping from noon to night, will this nap be a bit long? Is nothing going to happen? Sister Su, do you want it?
Go and ask the doctor to come and take a look."
Long Bing'er, who was beside Li Mingyue, also frowned with some worry: "Didn't Xu Qing only sleep for half an hour in the past? Now he has slept for two and a half hours and still hasn't woken up. It is indeed a bit unreasonable."
When Su Qian heard what Li Mingyue and Long Bing'er said, she pretended to drink tea and covered up the blush on her face: "Husband, he is a little tired today, nothing to do."
When Li Mingyue and Long Bing'er heard what Su Qian said, they didn't want to ask any more questions. Su Qian, the wife, said it was fine, so it should be fine.
kitchen
Xu Qing held her waist, put down the fan, and poured the liquid in the pottery pot into the fine porcelain bowl on the ground.
Next to Xu Qing, Xuan'er took a pestle and pounded the ice in the clay pot.
Xuan'er was making ice while looking at Xu Qing who was drinking the brown medicine liquid. There was some admiration on her face. My uncle is so powerful. He can drink so much bitter medicine every day. It would definitely not be possible if it were Xuan'er and Miss Xuan'er.
Both my son and my lady are very afraid of hardship.
After Xu Qing drank the medicinal liquid in the pottery pot, he looked at Xuan'er and said, "Xuan'er, bring over another portion of the medicinal ingredients just now."
Xuan'er said in surprise: "Uncle, do you want to continue taking medicine?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "No, I'm drinking water."
He doesn't want to do this either, mainly because the wife at home is too difficult to take care of...
In the evening, after eating with Long Bing'er and Li Mingyue, Xu Qing returned to the bedroom, thinking of going to bed early today.
When Xu Qing pushed the door open and walked in, he once again saw Su Qian sitting at the table. On the round table next to Su Qian were two glasses of wine that had been poured.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing, smiled and said, "Husband, how about we drink Hexin wine again?"
Xu Qing suddenly turned pale and shook his head, but it was obvious that with his three-legged cat skills, Su Qian could easily deal with it with one hand.
I was forced to drink Hexin wine again tonight.
Xu Qing regretted it very much.
I shouldn't have dragged my wife to drink some Hexin wine last time.
It's over now, the lady has tested her drinking capacity.
Xu Qing understood the lady's thoughts very well, it was because the Crown Princess was pregnant that she was stimulated.
Today's wife has forgotten everything she said before. Age issues, physical problems, and developmental problems, none of these can hinder her from having a child.
When Xu Qing woke up the next day, although he had a headache, his physical condition was much better than yesterday.
Continue to thank my father-in-law, my father-in-law.
Xu Qing decided to ask Xiao Ye for a thousand-year-old ginseng next time to replenish his health.
Today, as always, the strong smell of herbs came from the kitchen, and it smoked out the little maid who was planning to make mung bean smoothie.
At this moment, in the kitchen, only the lovely Xiao Ruxue was sitting on the bench, watching Xu Qing boil the medicine without any discomfort.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who was finishing bowl after bowl of concoction and asked curiously: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, isn't this concoction bitter?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "Of course it's hard, but it's hard."
Xiao Ruxue became even more curious: "You still drink bowl after bowl of such a bitter concoction as if it were water? Aren't you afraid of the bitterness?"
Xu Qing sighed: "I drink something bitter now so that my body won't feel bitter at night. Oh, let's go out and play. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."
Xiao Ruxue thought for a moment and said, "Can I have a taste of this medicine?"
Xu Qing asked doubtfully: "What do you taste? This medicine is really bitter."
Xiao Ruxue looked at him and said, "I just want to taste how bitter the medicine you drink is..."
Xu Qing still didn't agree to Xiao Ruxue's request after all. Xiao Ruxue herself was just as afraid of taking medicine as Su Qian. Now she still wants to drink bitter medicine?
Today's little girls are still children at heart. After deciding who they like, their hearts can't wait to be attached to that person.
At first, he fooled Su Qian with a plate of sweet and sour short ribs, and later he fooled this little girl with grilled fish...
Oh, what a sin
Seeing Xu Qing's refusal, Xiao Ruxue said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you let me drink it? I'm not afraid of hardship."
Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ruxue out and said, "It's useless for you to drink. With your conditions, you won't have enough energy to use after drinking. Let's go play with your sister Su."
Although Xiao Ruxue didn't understand what Xu Qing meant, she still said stubbornly: "I can help you, don't push me away."
But Xu Qing ignored the little girl and pushed her out.
She even came over to help... She came over, which made things worse for me...
terrible……
Just when Xu Qing finished drinking the medicine and walked out of the room, he saw Xiao Ye walking in. Xu Qing asked curiously: "Brother Xiao is not at home to take care of my wife, why are you here?"
Xiao Ye waved his hands and sighed: "Oh, don't mention it. The wise king Wan'er is well protected by her mother and the empress. It's very difficult for me to meet her... let alone take care of her."
"Let's not talk about this matter. It was my father who asked me to invite you over. He said it was about dividing the silver from the glass exhibition."
As for sharing the money, Xu Qing is interested.
Without further ado, Xiao Ye and I got on the carriage and headed towards Prince Xian's Mansion.
Prince Xian's Mansion
a pavilion
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing opposite who was about to salute and waved his hand: "Sit down, there is no need for these false greetings."
After Xu Qing sat down, the conversation between the two got down to business.
King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked: "How was the sales of colored glaze at yesterday's colored glaze exhibition?"
Xu Qing put the three-cent silver note on the table and said: "We have calculated it. The total sales of colored glaze yesterday were nearly 700,000 taels. In addition to the 500,000 taels used for military expenses, there are still 200,000 taels left. The prince will get 55%.
One hundred and one hundred thousand taels, your majesty will get 10,000 taels for half, and I will get 80,000 taels for 40%."
The Xian Wang nodded and put away his share of the banknotes that Xu Qing put on the table. The emperor's share...forget it, he was still young, so he would keep it for him first and then give it to him when he grows up.
Xian Wang, who pocketed the two banknotes, looked at the stack of banknotes in Xu Qing's hand and suddenly asked: "By the way, have you paid taxes?"
