Ananda was awakened again by her family's cruel prince.
Because he slept too deeply, his head was groggy, and he still had the illusion of not knowing what happened to this day and the past. As if I was still the ordinary girl in that steel and concrete world where An An went to school, An An grew up, and An An graduated to find a job. In my spare time, I go shopping with my friends, watch movies, play small TVs, eat delicious snacks in the food court, go to karaoke skating, and see handsome men and beautiful women on the side of the road discussing from afar... After work, after returning home every day, I will Faced with A Niang's nagging: "When will you get married, look at your cousin, who is the same age as you, but the two babies she gave birth to can be soy sauce..." Yunyun, and then Dad said seriously: "I have chosen it." Boyfriend, take it home and have a look, if you have a bad character, don't marry..." and so on.
At that time, she was very ordinary and very happy. She didn't have the flamboyant personality of modern people, and she didn't have a wealthy net worth, but she was free and easy, a little kind, and not too selfish, and she was willing to help others when she could...
The hazy vision gradually cleared up, the man in front of him had a handsome face, but his expression was serious and serious, but what he did was not serious or serious at all.
Ananda directly tilted his head away from the hand pinching his face, and then opened his mouth to grab it.
"Open your mouth, are you a cat!?"
Chu Baning snorted, the fine white teeth gnawed on the back of his hand, it didn't hurt very much, but when the moist and soft mouth slid over the sensitive skin, it brought a numb feeling.
Ananda stayed for a while before realizing who he was biting, he opened his mouth in fright and looked at him in horror.
Chu Baning couldn't see her like this, his face was slightly cold, and he pinched her cheek again.
Ananda didn't know why he was swollen today, but his face was pinched by someone again and again, it felt really strange.
It doesn't hurt, but it's a bit embarrassing. I don't know if I just woke up, I haven't adapted to the light yet, my eyes are a little sore, and the tears rolling out are really pure physiological reactions.
"My lord..." Ananda called softly.
Seeing that her eyes were clouded with mist, Chu Baning lifted up her robe and sat on the bed, picked her up and hugged her, hesitated for a while, pressed her face with her fingertips, and lowered her voice a little: "Why are you crying? This king hasn't settled with you yet, but you cried first."
"The concubine didn't cry..." Ananda lowered his head and said sullenly.
She just dreamed about things in her previous life, and then slept for too long, her eyes were sore, it was really a physiological reaction, there was nothing to cry about. Even if the prince wants to bully her, she won't cry...
Chu Baning raised her face, and her deep eyes met hers directly.
Chu Baning's eyes are very standard among men. To be precise, they are apricot eyes. The width of the eyelids is appropriate, wider than Danfeng's eyes, and the outer canthus is blunt and round. It is just right. But the color of these eyes is deep and sinking, like a bottomless pool, with a cold glance, it is hard to stare at.
Ananda's body stiffened from his sight.
Chu Baning is not a comforter, he usually acts directly. Therefore, he didn't comfort someone's fragile heart, but just lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eyes with his lips, the movements became more gentle.
Ananda's hair was smoothed out quickly, and he showed a sweet and soft smile to Chu Baning, very happy. Ananda recalled what he said just now that he wanted to settle accounts with her, and decided to defend himself: "My lord, the concubine did not come here for no reason, but she followed the mother's order. Now, here is the mother's order. The concubine is here to serve you..." Ananda said, and took out from under the pillow at the head of the bed the letter with the empress dowager's seal that she stuffed into the quilt before going to bed, and handed it to Chu Baning with a smile.
The corner of Chu Baning's mouth twitched, he didn't know what to say, how could anyone stuff the queen mother's edict under the pillow? It was clearly prepared and ready to be used to block him. Chu Ba Ning squinted his eyes, did he think that an imperial decree would exonerate him
Chu Baning didn't even look at the Yizhi, and directly and casually threw it on the small table in front of the bed under Ananda's stare. Ananda yelled, and wanted to pick it up, but Chu Baning hugged her and didn't let her move.
Ananda said in his heart that even if you want to vent your anger with your mother, you don't need to take out a decree, my lord, this is too childish!
"My lord~"
Ananda simply wiped away her old face, and acted coquettishly. She didn't want to be spanked anymore. She was timid and afraid of getting angry, especially Chu Baning, whose serious appearance was too strong. , so that she never had the idea of making him explode. Ananda really couldn't figure it out, because Chu Baning was so angry with her because Mao was so angry with her, she was also very helpless, and she was just acting according to the order. Since both the emperor and the queen mother allowed her to come to Tongcheng, why did her prince always serve her with cold air instead of cherishing her with the joy of being newly married after seeing her
A smile flashed across Chu Baning's eyes, but he didn't make a sound, watching what she was going to do.
Ananda lingered in Chu Baning's arms like a kitten for a long time, but he didn't see the uncle responding. He couldn't help but look frustrated. After all, he was not courageous enough, so he didn't dare to go any further, so he just nestled in his arms. Quiet.
Chu Baning: ... I really didn't insist!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ru Cui's voice came: "My lord, dinner is ready."
Chu Baning put Ananda back on the bed, straightened his clothes, sat aside with a serious face, and then let the maid come in.
Several maids brought out the still hot meals, and after setting them up one by one, the people in the back room blessed themselves, and went quietly under the leadership of Ru Cui.
After a day's sleep, Ananda also felt hungry. Although his body still had no strength, at least it was much better than this morning. Smelling the aroma of that food, I immediately felt my mouth water.
After a while, Ananda dressed like a chubby panda was slipped to the table by Chu Ba Ningti, and a bowl of lotus seed lily porridge was placed in front of her, with various appetizing side dishes beside her. The lotus seed and lily porridge was very authentic, but Ananda found it tasteless after drinking it, and wanted to eat something tasty. Looking at the rich dishes on the table, Ananda's saliva was drooling, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Chu Baning.
Chu Baning's eating habits are in line with the standard demeanor of the royal family. He does not eat or sleep without talking, and does not look sideways.
Chu Baning ignored Ananda's longing eyes, and ate slowly. The golden-roasted pigeon meat that he picked up with chopsticks was crispy and crispy, and Ananda almost swallowed his saliva.
Ananda flipped the table in his heart: she would be anxious to anyone who dared to tell her that the food in the border town was poor! Looking at the food on the table of her lord, there are meat and vegetables, and the combination of meat and vegetables is so rich~~ I really want to eat it.
But the doctor said that she has a weak spleen and stomach and cannot eat too greasy food, so obediently go and drink light porridge!
So, two big bowls of porridge from that little gu went into Ananda's stomach. Under Chu Baning's watchful eye, Ananda didn't dare to leave a single grain of rice, making his stomach bloated.
Ananda had noodle tears in his heart: Lord, we are not pigs, even if you are stuffed to death, you can't raise the meat right away!
After the meal, the maid came in and threw away the cups and plates, waited for the two of them to wash their mouths and hands, and then left again. Ananda paced the room with difficulty, feeling resentful towards Chu Baning who had been called out. When Ru Cui came in to tidy up the room, she was a little puzzled by Ananda's grieving woman's face: "Miss, what are you doing with your stomach? You're not pregnant."
Ananda gave her a blank look, "Can't you eat enough?"
Ru Cui let out a sigh, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the lord has a way to let you eat more. The lady is still fat and cute in vain. The lord has ordered that these days, the lady should eat more and bring back the meat."
Ananda almost staggered and fell, clenched his fists in his heart and shouted: Isn't Zhao Feiyan's slender beauty popular in this era? Why do the one or two bastards around her always ask her to eat more, so delicious that they would be pulled to slaughter like a pig? !
Seeing Ananda's ugly face, Ru Cui comforted her, "Miss, don't think too much, you look rich, white and tender, so painful, this is the only good thing about you, keep it up!"
Ananda: =__=! Dear, this is comfort...
***********
Ananda spent three days recuperating in the Chengshou Mansion, but after three days, he did not move into his new residence. Because Dr. Gu said that she was seriously ill and physically weak this time, she may have hurt her roots, and she needs to rest for a while before talking about it, so don't worry about it anymore.
Chu Baning thought it was right, so he asked Mu Yuan'er to decorate the new house, add maids, servants, servants and other chores. Ananda just needs to raise himself to be white and fat, and enjoy the final result.
Chu Baning is not free these days. It seems that the North Vietnamese have changed. He runs to the barracks every day. If his wife is still sick now, seeing the trend, he doesn’t even want to come out of the barracks. , General Zhao Geng, and others frequently made jokes in private, which made Chu Baning leave the barracks with a dark face every time.
As for Ananda, he eats and sleeps well every day. In his free time, he chats with Mrs. Chengshou to tease Baozi, a three-year-old girl in He Chengshou's house, and discusses medical principles with Gu Xiaoyan. Life is really carefree.
He Chengshou has been stationed in Tongcheng for ten years, and he has only one married wife by his side, which is not like the usual officials with three wives and four concubines. Everyone in Tongcheng knew that He Chengshou loved his wife very much, so he never talked about taking concubines. And Mrs. Chengshou is a heroine who does not give in to her men. When the North Vietnamese invaded the gate of Tongcheng, Mrs. Chengshou organized the women in the city to fight against the enemy and drive away the North Vietnamese who committed crimes. The war at that time was very tragic, but in the end Tongcheng was defended.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Tongcheng people, the emperor is not as respected as He Chengshou and his wife.
He Chengshou and his wife have two sons and a daughter together. The two sons are eight and six years old, and the youngest daughter is just three years old this year. This shows that the relationship between He Chengshou and his wife is quite deep.
Mrs. Chu of Chenghe is a very insightful woman. Although she is a woman, she is stationed with her husband in the border town, and she is no longer confined to one room. . And Gu Huanyan is a girl who looks a bit cold and indifferent on the surface, but is actually a solid-eyed girl. Because of Ananda's kind face, she wholeheartedly treats Ananda's injuries and takes care of her body. After getting interested, I am also willing to put aside the time of reading and explain some esoteric and difficult things in the book to Ananda.
On this day, Chu Ba Ning went out again early in the morning, and he didn't know whether he was going to the military camp, or whether he was let off by Wen Liang, who was not doing business properly, to go to the city to find the bad luck of the North Vietnamese. The city guard's wife came to visit Ananda again with her children in her arms. He Chengshou's youngest daughter is nicknamed Niuniu, and her real name is He Wanyu. She was born round and waxy, shaped like a small bun, which is very lovable. Ananda fell in love with this little bun at the first sight, and the reason for his liking is very simple: the little bun looks as round and round as hers, and it is so intimate~~
Chengshou's wife also knew that Ananda liked her little daughter, so she came to visit Ananda with her little daughter when she was free. Mrs. He may not mean to please Princess Su, but she advances and retreats politely, and only asks her daughter to come over. She never said anything that should not be said, which makes people get close to her.
Ananda sat on the well-burning pit, holding a stove in his hand, wearing a fox fur, and smilingly pinching the small fleshy face of the little girl from the He family, feeling that her face is like this when someone pinches her. Feel it, it's really irresistible, I can't blame her prince for being so pinched by her.
He Xiaoniu's cheeks turned red from being pinched by her, but she didn't cry, and looked at her with black grape-like eyes. Ananda was so cute that he couldn't breathe, and couldn't help but hugged the little Niuniu and screamed dearly.
"The concubine loves children so much, she will have a baby with the lord when she recuperates well." Mrs. He teased lightly, covering her mouth.
Ananda blushed, and murmured a few words while pulling at the hem of his clothes, but his words were incomplete. He had the mentality of a little girl, which made people laugh.
Mrs. He looked at Ananda's small body, and seeing her shy face, she couldn't help laughing secretly. If she hadn't known that she was Concubine Su, Mrs. He would have thought she was a daughter raised in her boudoir when she first saw her. She would never have imagined that a group of childish girls had married into wives—ancient people were precocious, regardless of their minds. Whether it is physical development, it is not comparable to Ananda, who grew up with the spirit of modern people, so most of the time it will be misunderstood. In fact, after a few years passed, Ananda was also sixteen years old. It was common to have children at this age in ancient times, but who made someone look too young, I couldn't help but misunderstand.
After getting along for a few days, Mrs. He also saw that Princess Su was not as reserved as those women in the capital, she was gentle and docile, so she dared to tease Ananda.
"Madam, please drink tea." Ru Lan brought out the brewed tea, and then placed a plate of freshly made crisps on it.
Crispy crisps are small snacks made by Madam Zhang herself. They are popular snacks in the capital in recent years. People in the border towns have never seen this style. When the little girl from the He family saw it, she glanced at Ananda, and stretched out her chubby hand timidly. Rucui didn't dare to let her grab it directly, the crispy crisps were freshly made and still hot, so she quickly brought a small bowl over, put a piece on top of the bowl, and brought a spoon for the little girl to play with.
Ananda greeted Mrs. He and Gu Xiaoyan, who was by her side, to have some snacks together. The two ate a crispy crisp and were full of praise. This crispy taste is sweet and not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes very refreshing, and many ladies love it.
A few people were eating snacks when suddenly Rucui came in from outside and said excitedly: "Miss, my lord went hunting with Mrs. Wen today, and sent someone back with something."
When Ananda heard this, he was a little curious about what Chu Baning would send back, so he quickly got up and went out to greet him.
When I arrived at the side hall, I saw Mu Yuan'er there. Mu Yuan'er was holding an iron cage in his hand, and there were two small white animals crowded together in the cage. It looked like a fox
"Brother Mu, is this a fox?" Ru Cui asked excitedly.
Mu Yuan'er nodded with a smile, reached into the cage and grabbed a white-haired fox, and said with a smile: "Today, my lord and Military Division Wen went hunting, but I didn't expect to find it in a mountain forest near Tiandie Valley." A newly-born fox, the prince also followed the trail of the mother fox to find these two newly-born foxes."
Although they were born not long ago, the two little foxes are already quite big. From a distance, they look like two rabbits.
Ananda looked at the two little white foxes, and thought that today he could eat fox hot pot. I heard that some soldiers went to the mountains to hunt recently, and a lot of game meat was added to the barracks, which made Chu Baning's eyes turn black when he saw the meat.
Ru Cui also looked at the fox drooling, and said to Ananda with a smile: "Miss, these two foxes are still tender, the meat must be very fragrant, smooth and delicious."
Ananda nodded, and said reservedly: "My lord has been working hard recently, so I just use this fox to make up for him."
Everyone: "..." Was it really the prince who hunted and came back to eat
Mu Yuan'er looked at the master and servant who were having a good discussion, with a tangled face, hesitated to speak, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Princess, the prince said, these two little foxes will be your companions, let you take good care of them." Da..." Mu Yuan'er really wanted to cover her face, their princess, why are you so stupid
"..."
Ananda's expression went blank for a moment, and he complained angrily to a certain bastard in his heart, blaming her for talking about food first, causing her to accidentally follow up in front of everyone. She was cheated by a second-hand guy!
Ru Cui opened her mouth slightly, looked at Mu Yuan'er, and then said to Ananda with a straight face: "Miss, you can eat it when you grow up!"
Mrs. He, Gu Xiaoyan, Mu Yuan'er, and even the ignorant little girl looked at Ananda together.
Ananda was under great pressure, and said with a dry smile, "Hehe... let's talk about it when we grow up..."
Ru Lan almost blushed: These two bastards have lost face to the frontier.
Mu Yuan'er left with a blank face, thinking how he would repeat the reaction of the princess to the prince, he was afraid that the prince would directly let him experience the chilling feeling of falling under the ice water in winter!
And after Ananda led the crowd to watch the foxes for a while, he remembered that these wild foxes didn't know if there were any bacteria on them, so he quickly called his servants to take the two little foxes to take a bath.
Everyone saw that Ananda was busy but didn't know what to say. For a while, the atmosphere was a bit strange. Mrs. He and Gu Xiaoyan didn't know what to say. Fatty's face was covered in crumbs.
Ananda's heart was silent, knowing that his image was gone. When Ah Yinan was about to say something to change his image, suddenly there was a commotion outside the house, and more and more noise came, which made Mrs. He's complexion change, and she said sharply to the maid beside her: "Gui Zhi , go and see who's going on!"
Guizhi ran out quickly, but within a minute, Guizhi came back in a hurry, with a pale face, obviously frightened, and quickly said: "Husband, madam, Miss Zhao is here, she, she… "
When Mrs. He heard this, her complexion became more and more ugly, and she said angrily: "What is she doing here? I didn't give her father a concubine, what can make her fuss?"
Except for the flustered faces of the people in the city guard's mansion, Ananda and other people who just came to Tongcheng looked confused. They didn't know who this "Miss Zhao family" was. Mrs. He showed such an obvious disgusted expression.
Soon, without the need for the maid to answer, everyone knew what Miss Zhao's family was doing.
At this time, only a clear female voice sounded from outside, smashing into the hearts of the people in the room: "Which one is Princess Su, I, Zhao Qihua, want to see you!"
