Chapter 766 Leaving the Mansion
The moonlight was hazy, as if scattered through a layer of mist, and the ground was deserted. The pale moonlight made people feel cool.
Yun Qing walked out of the study shivering, gathered his clothes and went back to the backyard.
The main courtyard was quiet, and the bedroom was also pitch black. At this time in the past, Yuxi would wait for him to come back. But now Yuxi has fallen asleep early, and Yunqing's heart is filled with a faint sense of loss.
Quan Momo came out of the house when she heard the movement, saw Yun Qing and asked, "Would the lord want a supper?"
Yun Qing was overjoyed, and asked: "Did the concubine order it?" In the past, Yu Xi would always ask Mother Bai to prepare supper for him when he was busy until late. Sometimes it’s chicken shredded noodles, sometimes it’s mutton dumplings, anyway, there are quite a lot of tricks.
Quan Momo shook her head and said, "No, the old slave saw that the prince was busy so late and hadn't come back, so he ordered Mama Bai to do it."
Yunqing has been busy so far, and he is indeed hungry this time: "Get some whatever you want! Is the water ready?" Come eat after taking a shower.
Sister Quan said, "Water is always prepared!"
Mama Bai cooked a large bowl of mutton dumplings, served with a plate of pickled cucumbers and a plate of green vegetables.
Yun Qing ate one, frowned and said after eating, "Why is it so unpalatable?" It was not as delicious as before, and this mother Bai's craftsmanship has actually retreated.
Mother Bai turned pale when she heard this, and said: "My lord, forgive me." She tried it just now, and she didn't find anything wrong.
Yun Qing didn't bother to wait any longer, and said, "Forget it, let's make do with it! Next time, use dim sum."
In the past, Yunqing could eat a big bowl of dumplings. I only ate half of it today, and I used less than half of the dishes.
After eating, Yunqing went to the side room again, but he didn't expect that the door of the side room couldn't be opened. You don't need to think about it, Yu Xi deliberately ordered the door to be closed to prevent him from entering.
Back in the house, Yunqing lay on the bed in a daze.
Mama Bai cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen with the remaining mutton dumplings. After thinking about it, Bai's mother poured Yunqing's leftover dumplings into the bowl she used, and took a bite out of one. After eating, Mama Bai muttered, "It tastes the same as before!" Fearing that there might be something wrong with her taste buds, Mama Bai called A Cui over and said, "Taste this dumpling and see what's wrong with it?"
A Cui ate one and said in surprise: "Mom, what's the matter? Do these dumplings taste the same as before?"
Mother Bai asked the mother-in-law who made the fire to taste it again, and she came to the same conclusion as A Cui. Bai's mother said to herself: "That's strange? Why did the prince say that the dumplings are not delicious, don't they taste the same as before?"
A Cui is also a dexterous maid, otherwise she would not have been chosen by Bai Mama. A Cui said in a low voice: "It must be that the prince is in a bad mood and has no appetite to eat, so I feel that the dumplings are not as delicious as before."
Mother Bai thinks this makes sense: "Tomorrow I will go to the Zhuangzi with the princess, and I will leave this place to you. You have to cheer up."
A Cui hurriedly nodded and said: "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely do well." This is an exercise for her and a test for her.
After dismissing the mother-in-law who was making the fire, Mother Bai took A Cui to the side of the stove and said in a mosquito-like voice: "One more thing you have to keep in mind is to avoid the prince if you can on weekdays, and never go to the prince's side. Otherwise, you won't know how you died." She has been with Yu Xi for so many years, and she knows Yu Xi's taboos best.
Ah Cui is fourteen years old this year, she is rather handsome, not outstanding in the main courtyard but not ugly either.
A Cui blushed immediately when she heard this: "What did mother say? Why should I join the prince's side as a cook? Besides, I don't want to be a child for others! What's so good about being a concubine? You can’t even call yourself a mother when you come out.”
Mama Bai also knew that Ah Cui was not someone who climbs the dragon and the phoenix,
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen Ah Cui in the first place. Just in case, she specially reminded: "It's best not to have this idea. The princess has a generous temperament. As long as you don't violate her taboo, I will definitely choose a good family for you in a few years." In fact, the servant girls in the courtyard don't have to worry about marrying. If the servants are good, Yuxi will pick a good one for her.
A Cui asked in a low voice: "Mom, what are the princess' taboos?" In this way, she knew it well, so don't run into it by chance.
Mother Bai said: "Wangfei doesn't have many taboos. The first is the prince, and the second is the six little masters. Whoever dares to miss the prince or hurt the six little masters, the princess will not let go."
A Cui hurriedly said: "I will take good care of several little masters." As for the prince, it's better to avoid it. Although she knew that Yunqing didn't like her, but if she didn't move forward, she wouldn't get into trouble.
Mother Bai had to get up early in the morning to make breakfast, so Mother Bai told the mother-in-law to clean up the kitchen, and she went to bed by herself.
This night, Yunqing had a dream again, but this time it was not a good dream but a nightmare. He dreamed that Yuxi resolutely reconciled with her, and then left Haocheng to go to Jiangnan to join Han Jianming. Although the children did not follow Yuxi, none of them wanted to talk to him and treated him very coldly. Afterwards, he ate and slept alone every day, without anyone to talk to, so lonely and desolate.
Opening his eyes, Yunqing looked to the side reflexively, and saw that the other side was empty. Yun Qing got up immediately, but the door of the side room was locked, and he couldn't push it open. The panic in his heart prevented Yun Qing from caring about anything else, he patted on the door and shouted: "Open the door."
Yuxi didn't drink tranquilizing medicine that night, and Yunqing slammed the door so loudly that naturally woke her up too.
Meilan lit the lamp, and asked Yuxi cautiously: "Princess, do you want to open the door?"
Yu Xi snorted coldly and said: "If you don't open it, you don't know why you are going crazy in the middle of the night." After speaking, she lay down and continued to sleep.
Mei Lan had no choice but to walk over to Yun Qing who was outside the door and said, "My lord, my concubine is still sleeping! You will wake her up like this. My lord, let's talk about something tomorrow morning!"
Yun Qing finally came to his senses, paused his hand knocking on the door, and then went back to the bedroom wearily.
Sister Quan also woke up, the old man felt shallow, how could such a big movement not wake him up. Sister Quan got dressed and went to the bedroom, and saw Yun Qing sitting on a chair. Quan Momo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, why are you sitting in your underwear, you will catch cold like this."
Yun Qing said indifferently: "It's not so delicate." Although the earth dragon is still burning, the room is not cold.
Mother Quan asked cautiously: "What happened to the prince just now?" She ran to knock on the door in the middle of the night, and those who didn't know thought she was crazy!
Yun Qing said: "I had a nightmare just now, and I woke up with a start." As for the content of the nightmare, he will not talk about it.
Since it was a nightmare, it must not be a good thing. Sister Quan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. As the old saying goes, dreams are always the opposite. What is bad in dreams is good in real life."
Yun Qing's expression softened a lot, and he said: "You're right, dreams are always reversed!" Anyway, he will never make up with Yu Xi anyway, so he will definitely not be left alone.
Quan Momo didn't ask Yun Qing what dream he had: "My lord, it's still early, you should sleep again!"
Yun Qing nodded and reached for the water bottle. Nunnery Quan hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not good to drink cold water in the middle of the night, let me bring you a cup of hot water!"
After pouring water into the cup, Yun Qing said, "No need, cold water quenches your thirst better." After speaking, he picked up the water and drank it. In the blink of an eye, the glass of water was gone.
Seeing Yunqing going to bed, Quan Momo went out. And Yunqing lay on the bed without any sleepiness, and kept his eyes open until dawn.
When Yuxi walked out of the ear room, she saw Yunqing standing in the corridor. Seeing Yun Qing with haggard look and bloodshot eyes, Yu Xi couldn't bear it. But thinking about her plan, she held back and said nothing.
Yun Qing walked to Yu Xi's side and said: "I've already sent people to carry things, and the things should be packed after breakfast!" It means that Yu Xi can leave after breakfast.
The corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched, if it wasn't for Yunqing's appearance, she would have thought that Yunqing wanted him to leave just by hearing this! Well, you can't expect too much from Yunqing.
Yuxi didn't speak, and Yunqing didn't know what to say. At this moment, the triplets came out of their house.
The triplets walked up to the couple and called out in unison: "Father, mother."
The atmosphere was too embarrassing, and it was just right for the son to appear. Yun Qing said: "Come on, let Dad see if your martial arts have improved." After being away for half a year, it's time to test how many boys will be admitted to the school.
Brother Rui was the happiest: "Okay!" Master Dou admires Yunqing very much, so in the eyes of several children, Yunqing is the best in the world.
Seeing Brother You looking at her, Yu Xi smiled and said: "Go! Let your father see how much you have improved in martial arts during this time." She herself grew up in an environment where her mother died and her father ignored her, so she naturally knew this. The sadness in it. It was also because of this experience that she hoped that her children would grow up under the care of their parents, so even if she was very dissatisfied with Yunqing, she always defended Yunqing in front of her children and never said that Yunqing was wrong. Because if she said something wrong about Yunqing in front of the child, it would make the child feel emotional and reject Yunqing. In this way, it is not a good thing for children.
Brother You's attitude towards Yuxi was a bit strange, but he didn't ask any questions in front of Yunqing, just nodded and said: "Okay."
Half an hour later, the triplets had a lot of bruises on their bodies, Brother Yu even had a bruise on his forehead. However, the three of them were not depressed, but excited.
Seeing the happy faces of the three children, Yuxi knew that she was doing the right thing. Parents are indispensable to children, and whoever is missing is not good for their growth.
Yu Xi said with a smile: "Take a break for a quarter of an hour and take a bath." You can have breakfast only after taking a bath, otherwise you will smell of sweat all over your body.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zao Zao, Brother Hao and Liu Er also came over. Zao Zao saw the smiling faces of Brother Rui and the three brothers, and asked, "So happy early in the morning? Did you pick up the money?"
Brother Rui raised his voice and said: "Father promised us that he will teach us how to ride and shoot in the future." This is more joyful than picking up money.
Only then did Yuxi know why the triplets were so happy, so it was. Yunqing's riding skills are much better than Master Gong's, but he is too busy to teach children.
Zao Zao couldn't help but pour cold water on the triplets: "Father is so busy, how can I have time to teach you how to ride a bow?"
Yun Qing said: "When time is squeezed, there will be time." As long as you have the heart, there is always time.
Brother Rui said: "Father, we all know that you are busy, so you don't need to teach us, just guide us occasionally." It's the same for Master Gong to teach basic things.
Hearing this, Zao Zao deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Yu Xi: "Mother, look, father is too partial, he never taught me and Ah Hao."
Yuxi said with a smile: "You are a big sister, but you are jealous with your younger brother, are you ashamed?"
Zao Zao snorted, turned to Brother Hao and said, "Ah Hao, you see, parents are partial to Brother Rui and the others."
Ah Hao couldn't see that Zao Zao was just pretending, so he laughed and said, "That's okay, we are big brothers and sisters, they are young!" Most of these parents prefer the younger ones, okay His parents treat them equally.
Zaozao deliberately sighed and said: "So, being the boss is a disadvantage! In the next life, I have to be the youngest to be the youngest."
Brother Yu interjected: "Sister, let's change in the next life. I will be the boss and you will be the youngest." As a young man, he is always bullied by his sister who is the boss, and he will get his money back with interest in his next life.
Zao Zao cut it and said: "It's a beautiful idea."
Seeing her son and daughter bickering, and thinking about the nightmare she had, Yun Qing felt that this moment was extraordinarily warm.
Breakfast was served one after another, and Yu Xi interrupted the siblings' conversation with a smile: "Don't be poor, eat."
After breakfast, Yunqing put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Zaozao three siblings: "You and I will send your mother to Hejiazhuang later, and come back in the afternoon."
Zao Zao was overwhelmed with surprise, looked at Yu Xi and asked, "Mother, is what Dad said true? Are we going to Hejiazhuang too?"
Yuxi will not sweep Yunqing's face in front of her children, this can be regarded as one of her weaknesses. Yuxi said: "I just asked you to go along for a while, and you have to come back after lunch!"
Zao Zao was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "That's pretty good." You can rest for a day.
Yunqing and Yuxi's family were dispatched, together with the maid and the guards, the formation was not small.
After the person left, Xu Daniu said: "Boss, the princess doesn't want us to follow?"
Xu Wu said: "The concubine transferred three hundred elite soldiers from the Qianwei camp." Although Yuxi went to Zhuangzi, she did not relax about safety. Directly ordered to transfer 300 elite guards from Qianwei Battalion.
Seeing that the people around were busy, Xu Daniu asked in a low voice: "Boss, the prince just came back, why is the princess going to live in Zhuangzi! And she is not young for two or three days, what's going on?" If only staying for two or three days , it is impossible to bring so many things.
Xu Wudao: "The princess has worked hard day and night for the past two years, the doctor advised her to take a good rest, that's why the princess decided to go to Zhuangzi." You can't casually say that Yu Xi is physically weak.
Xu Daniu said in a voice that only two people could hear; "It's the same if you want to rest in the palace! Boss, did the princess fall out with the prince because of Liu's matter?"
Xu Wu said with a cold face: "If the prince and the princess fall out, can the prince personally send the princess to the Zhuangzi?"
Xu Daniu rubbed his nose and said, "That's true. But the princess is going to Zhuangzi at this time, so it's easy for people to think about it!"
Xu Wu is also very helpless, but he can't get involved in this matter: "We don't care what others think, but you have to control your mouth. If you let the prince hear it, you won't be able to eat it."
Xu Daniu smiled and said, "I'll just talk in front of you, I won't say a word in front of others." (To be continued)
