Although Li Tai also has a residence in Chang'an City, his status is different from before after all, and he often needs a large number of attendants to protect him when he comes in and out. The original residence inevitably seems a bit crowded and narrow.
The city of Chang'an was already messy and cramped, and he didn't want to disturb the residents' lives in the city, so after his family returned, he simply arranged it in a school outside the city.
It was already late at night when he left the imperial city, and it was already late at night when he arrived at the academy. Except for Naojuku's guards, everyone in his family had fallen asleep. And he didn't want to disturb his relatives' rest anymore, so he gave the order
The servant simply tidied up a study and then went to sleep on the couch.
But at this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from another attic in the inner palace. Li Tai had already undressed and got on the bed. When he heard his son's cry, he put on another outer robe and walked into the building through the corridor.
In the small building.
At this time, several maids and maids in the room were focused on the young man who was crying all night, and did not notice Li Tai's arrival. Li Tai walked through the screen into the inner room and saw all the maids and maids surrounding him.
In front of the bed curtain, two maids held gauze lamps with soft light in their hands. In the center of the intersection of light, there was a graceful and graceful woman hugging a child who was still crying.
"Little Lang didn't eat much milk in the evening. Are you hungry now that you've been up late at night?"
A nanny next to her whispered that the woman hugging Xiao Lang was not Miao Yin, but Mrs. Yao. After hearing this, she shook her head, put her cheek against Xiao Lang's forehead for a moment, and then whispered softly: "Xiao Lang should be
If you suffer from wind heat, mix ginger powder with jujube slices, iron it with hot water and apply it to the wind pool on the back of your neck."
After hearing the words, the maid hurriedly turned around to prepare these items. Then she noticed Li Tai standing inside the screen. She was startled and hurriedly leaned over and said: "Greetings, meet the king..."
These maids were all newly arrived from Shannan and had not yet gotten used to the change in Li Tai's official title, so they still used their old names. As the maid hurriedly worshiped, everyone else in the room also stood up, including Lady Yao, who was still holding Xiao Lang in her arms.
It was also a bit awkward to have to pay a courtesy visit.
"Hurry up and prepare your supplies. You are all free of charge."
Li Tailue waved his hand and walked forward. Just as he raised his hand to take the crying son from Madam Yao, he was kicked by this kid on the wrist, making him cry even harder. After seeing this, he could only
Neng Sansan retracted his hand and turned to Mrs. Yao and said, "This kid has been making noises at night recently? It's really hard on Mrs. Yao!"
"The climate in Guanzhong is different from that of Xiangyang. Adults will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they first move there. Young boys are immature and will inevitably suffer from spleen and stomach disorders and cold and heat diseases."
Lady Yao gently stroked Xiao Lang's back to comfort her, lowered her head and replied softly. Then she raised her eyes and glanced at Li Tai, then continued in a low voice: "But please don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiao Lang has always been strong and lively.
A few minor illnesses will not damage the fundamentals, and you will definitely become stronger and stronger after recovery. The princess is inconvenient during pregnancy, so I have to live here to take care of the young man. I will take good care of you, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Little things are making noise at night, disturbing so many people and preventing them from sleeping peacefully. Since it's not a serious problem, you can just retreat and rest."
The space under the curtain was not very big, so Li Tai looked at his son and stood quite close to Madam Yao. The lady was probably awakened by her child's cry in her sleep and had no time to dress neatly. The little thing in her arms was now in a mess.
If he moved, the scenery in front of his lapel would be exposed, and the faint fragrance would float. Li Tai moved his eyes away with some embarrassment, waved his hand to retreat to the people standing under the curtain, and he also retreated to one side.
Madam Yao was half-focused on Xiao Lang at the moment, and felt slightly embarrassed by Li Tai's arrival. She didn't realize anything else was wrong. When she heard what Li Tai said, she also said: "Since your Majesty has an order, please
Madam, please go and have a rest, I will take care of you here."
After the servants and wives left, there was no other sound in the room except the boy's intermittent crying. Sitting under the lamp, Li Tai couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he coughed twice and asked if he had nothing to say.
He asked, "Now that Madam Yao has entered Guanzhong, will General Yao and others come with her?"
"There are still many medical books and classics in Xiangyang that need to be compiled, and my father and colleagues have not yet entered the country."
Seeing that Xiao Lang's crying had stopped, Mrs. Yao carefully placed him on the bed. She then turned around and answered Li Tai's questions softly. She also said with a grateful face: "A few days ago, my father sent a message telling me that
My brother has already visited the Southern Kingdom and is traveling north with the envoys from the Southern Kingdom. He will be able to enter the capital in a few days. Your Majesty, who is busy with military affairs, is still so considerate of his subordinates and family affairs. My father, my brother and my concubine are all very grateful!"
After hearing this, Li Tai remembered that last year, because Mrs. Yao rescued his father in time, he had heard his wife say that Mrs. Yao and her family were living in the Southern Dynasties, so he asked the government officials to help find him.
After that, he became busy with the Eastern Expedition of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and did not continue to pay attention to this matter. At this time, he heard that Mrs. Yao said that her family had been found and would go north to reunite. He was very happy for her, so he
He said with a smile: "General Yao has superb medical skills and has countless people alive. Madam Yao also has a good heart. She is kind to others. A house that accumulates good deeds must be prosperous, so that the relatives can survive the disaster without harm and reunite safely. I just tell the officials that it is true
I dare not express my gratitude like this."
While talking, the maid who had left to prepare things hurried back. Madam Yao took the warm jujube slices and applied it to the back of the child's neck, and rubbed it gently with her fingertips. Strange to say, the boy was still grinning and howling.
After receiving this ironing, the crying became weaker and turned into humming with a wrinkled nose.
Seeing this, Li Tai felt that it was a bit strange, so he came closer to see how the lady was applying the treatment. Seeing the way the boy rubbed his head, he couldn't help but try it himself.
"The Wind Pond after Xiang is a place of heat for people. Any wind-cold body heat can be dissipated from it..."
Mrs. Yao turned sideways and gave up her position to Li Tai. Then she explained the medical theory on one side and reached out to help Li Tai find the acupoints on the back of the child's neck. It was inevitable that their fingers and palms would touch each other.
The lady's hands trembled, and she subconsciously shrank back. Under the soft light of the gauze lamp, her face suddenly became as bright as a peach blossom. Her eyes turned to look timidly at the handsome side face that was so close at hand, and she could not even breathe.
Added a bit of moisture and heat.
Seeing that Li Tai was just stroking and ironing the delicate skin on the back of her son's neck with a focused expression, and did not notice anything strange about herself. The woman looked half shy, half disappointed and turned her face slightly to the side, taking a few breaths, until she felt in the mood.
After he calmed down a little, he said softly: "It will take a few moments to iron. Your Majesty is already tired after returning to the palace, so please go and rest first."
Li Tai saw that his son seemed to be feeling comfortable now and was looking at him with a silly smile, so he smiled again and said: "I don't see this little thing often. Even though we are close relatives, it is inevitable that we will become unfamiliar. Let's take this opportunity to have a blind date for a while.
, it also saves Madam Yao a bit of work."
After seeing this, Mrs. Yao didn't say anything more, and retreated to one side to guard the pottery stove and steamer, continuing to iron the jujube slices, and estimated the time to replace the old ones.
After several times of ironing, Xiao Lang was sweating faintly on his forehead, and yawned and fell asleep sweetly. This yawn was also very contagious. Li Tai was already a little tired, so when he heard his son's yawn, he felt sleepy and snuggled directly into the bed.
Then he also fell asleep.
"Ms. Yao, Your Majesty..."
When the maid saw Li Tai sleeping here, she came forward and asked in a low voice. Madam Yao put her fingers up to her lips to make a silent sound. She gently stepped forward and lowered the curtain. Seeing that Li Tai showed no sign of waking up, the maid asked her in a low voice.
He then asked someone to fetch a quilt and gently cover Li Tai's body, and put the young man who was also sleeping soundly into the bed. Then he and his maids left the dormitory, asking the maids to retreat and rest, while he stayed outside.
.
As the door opened and closed, a breeze blew into the room. Madam Yao only felt a chill on her front. She lowered her head and looked at her chest. Suddenly her cheeks were flying. She hurriedly raised her hands to cover them, and her face lost its usual warmth.
Could it be that Wan Tianran has become shy?
In the quiet night, no matter how many girls are thinking, they are just silent. Mrs. Yao is sitting next to the lamp in the room, her fingers are shyly twisted together, her knuckles are faintly white, there are thousands of thoughts in her mind, and she is immersed in thinking.
He whispered: "Your Majesty is a gentleman..."
The unintentional gaffe made the lady worry about whether the king would misunderstand her for being frivolous, and other more messy thoughts kept popping up in the lady's mind, including some of the secret conversations between the princess and her, which made the lady even more worried.
The lady's heart was in great confusion.
The maid snored evenly in the side compartment. For fear of disturbing others' sleep, Madam Yao blew out a few candles, held only a gauze lantern and went back into the room to carefully inspect. She saw that both father and son were sleeping.
Just as he was ripe, he quietly exited.
Seeing that the belt of the King's clothes had fallen by the bedside, Mrs. Yao bent over to pick it up. She was about to put it on the clothes hanger aside, but she clenched it tightly in her hand by some mistake. She held her lower lip lightly with her teeth, and there was something in her eyes.
She showed a sign of struggle, and after a few breaths, she held the belt tightly to her chest, and looked back at Li Tai, who was lying sideways on the couch. The affection in his bright eyes was suddenly brighter than the gauze lantern in his hand.
At dawn, Madam Miaoyin, who was already quite pregnant, came to her son's bedroom as soon as she got up. First she saw Madam Yao, who was sleeping at her desk in the outside room, and signaled the maidservants to move more slowly.
She went to the front to wake up the lady, but she saw that the belt of the lady's neck looked familiar. After carefully identifying it, her face showed surprise at first, and then her eyes looked a little complicated. After a few breaths of silence, she gradually became calm. She raised her head
She dismissed the other maids with her hand, entered the inner room, first grabbed the husband's robe from the hanger, walked out and put it on Lady Yao who was still sleeping at her desk, then returned to the inner room, and probed into the husband's arms behind the curtain.
.
Li Tai was suddenly awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's face, which was slightly prosperous due to her pregnancy, but was still happy and angry. He laughed softly and scolded: "Come here early in the morning to make fun!"
He was about to stretch out his arms to hug the lady, but Miaoyin came forward and bit him on the neck, rubbing her teeth fiercely, but in the end she couldn't bite firmly, and instead slapped the girl next to her, who had woken up and was lying down.
The son, who was staring curiously at the strange behavior of his parents, said angrily: "With this little thing, my husband won't even see me right away when he comes back!"
