She couldn't hear a sound and almost thought the person had left.
The young man explained slowly: "Miss Xu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her hearing is more sensitive than others, so it's better to be cautious."
"Then...did she discover something?"
Thinking that the look in that girl's eyes just now was different from the ladies she had seen, Ji Wanyou asked with some uncertainty.
Zhan Yunzhu said with a half-smile, "Maybe."
It doesn't matter if Zhao Zhao has doubts.
He raised his eyes to look in the direction where the girl had just left, and there seemed to be unknown emotions slowly flowing in his eyes.
Zhao Zhao——
Soon, we will be able to meet each other.
It’s just that we don’t know yet in what way it will be.
But no matter what, this reunion must be worth looking forward to.
At least, he couldn't wait any longer...
…
After walking out of the garden, Xu Mingyi looked back again.
Under the layered moon shadow, the clumps of flowers and trees appear darker and more serene.
Seriously, did she hear it wrong?
But under the excessive calmness of Miss Ji just now, she became more deliberate, obviously trying to hide something.
Or it can also be explained that the girl who has not left the court meets the man in private and does not want to be known. This is understandable - but the key is, who is that man?
There are many young disciples in the palace today...
Could it be that the voices are just a bit similar... and she has been suspicious of Zhan Yunzhu's survival recently, so she is overly sensitive to it, and all the trees and grass are in panic?
Maybe so.
But, even so, she still had to check.
She would rather find out that it was a misunderstanding in the end and waste her efforts than she would leave any mistakes because of her carelessness.
Xu Mingyi made up his mind, walked faster the rest of the way, and soon returned to the resting place.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Xu Mingyi looked at Ah Zhu waiting in the hall and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Usually when Jiao Jiao was drunk, she would never be able to go back to sleep honestly. She would often go up and take a look at anything she saw. She originally thought that Ah Zhu would not be able to come back easily within an hour and a half.
"The princess didn't let the maid help her, so she sprained her foot? So the maid carried the person back." Ah Zhu simply explained what happened.
"..." After Xu Mingyi understood it, he hurriedly asked: "How serious is the injury on your foot?"
"The doctor has checked it out. It's nothing serious? Don't worry, girl."
Xu Mingyi nodded and asked Akui to prepare hot water for bathing.
However, at this time, the maid serving outside the hall came in and said softly: "Someone is coming outside to bring Miss Xu food."
Bring her food?
Xu Mingyi was stunned for a moment, and said with doubts: "Invite people in."
——Who would come to bring her food at this hour?
The maid responded? She went immediately.
Soon, Xu Mingyi saw the person who came to deliver the things - a maid wearing a blue armor.
Looking at this face that still had some impression in his memory, Xu Mingyi almost had the illusion that he couldn't tell the difference between his past life and this present.
"Miss Xu." The maid smiled and saluted her, explaining her identity and purpose: "My name is Yun Jiang, is she from the Dingnan Palace? Is this the order of my wife, the heir apparent? Come and bring some snacks to Miss Xu.
.”
Xu Mingyi suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "Mrs. Lao Shizi has taken such trouble for me. Please express my gratitude to Madam and me."
Since this thing was delivered, she had no reason not to accept it.
As for why the Crown Prince's wife, who had never interacted with her in this life, wanted to give her food - no matter what the reason was, as a junior, she just wanted to thank her first? And since the other party didn't intend to say it explicitly, she didn't need to ask any more questions for the time being.
Hear this? Akui stepped forward and took the food box in time.
"Miss Yunjiang, wait a minute——"
Xu Mingyi told A'kui: "Take one of the soothing sachets I brought this time and let Miss Yunjiang take it back to Mrs. Shizi."
"yes."
Akui quickly fetched the things and handed them to Yun Jiang's hands.
Xu Mingyi said: "Put this sachet under the pillow, will it help sleep and calm the mind? Maybe Madam can use it."
She remembered that once the Crown Prince's wife moved to a new residence, it would be difficult to adapt to it within three to five days. Therefore, whenever she traveled from Ningyang to the capital or returned to Ningyang from the capital, she would easily fall ill due to fatigue.
Yun Jiang was a little surprised, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Miss Xu is interested. My wife will definitely like this sachet when she sees it."
——She is definitely not just saying nice words.
After Yun Jiang left, Akui followed Xu Mingyi into the inner room with a food box, lowered her voice and asked: "Girl... do you want to eat this?"
"You've already accepted it, why don't you eat it?" Xu Mingyi said casually as he sat down at the table.
And she guessed that this might be what Wu Chao meant.
She said, how could he suddenly ask her if she had eaten enough tonight when they left?
Aoi hesitantly took out the contents of the food box.
A bowl of bird's nest porridge, one meat, one vegetable, and two side dishes are simple and light. You don't have to worry about digesting it even if you eat it before going to bed.
"Girl...how about I give you a test first?" Akui said hesitantly.
Xu Mingyi looked at her.
Check it out?
"Drug test?"
Aoi nodded slightly.
She had only read the plot in a storybook a few days ago that "a high-ranking lady was dissatisfied with the girl her son-in-law liked, so she secretly poisoned her to fight with him"...
Although there is no way that the dignified wife of the Prince of Dingnan Palace would dare to harm the life of her girl, what if it is the kind of poison that does not harm lives?
Seeing the little maid's eyes full of "Girl, you must be on guard against others", Xu Mingyi nodded: "Let's test it."
In any case, it is a good thing that the little girl is alert and deserves to be encouraged, and this enthusiasm should not be discouraged.
Akui took a silver needle and tested it. After confirming that it was not poisonous, she did not forget to carefully analyze whether there were any incompatible substances in the ingredients.
After making sure there was no problem, he presented the pair of chopsticks.
Xu Mingyi took a sip of porridge first.
After just one taste, she could tell that it was Yun Jiang's craftsmanship.
In her previous life, after she married into the Dingnan Palace of Ningyang, she was unable to eat on time due to narcolepsy. Her mother-in-law, the Crown Prince, sent her maid Yun Jiang, who was good at cooking, to her yard to take care of her.
daily diet.
On the other side, Yun Jiang has returned to the Xu family.
"...given to me?"
Mrs. Xu looked at the lake blue sachet embroidered with white cranes in her hand and asked in surprise.
Yun Jiang nodded and said, "Miss Xu also said that this sachet can help Madam sleep well, so she asked Madam to put it under her pillow."
"Ah..." Mrs. Xu sighed softly, and the smile in her eyes overflowed.
Her future daughter-in-law is not only good-looking, but also knows kung fu and can dress up as a man. How can she be so considerate and attentive...
but--
Can such a thoughtful girl really fall in love with such a lump of wood as her son? Even if she is temporarily deceived by her son's good skin, there will always be a time when she gets tired of it, and by then, she really won't be able to give birth to him.
