"But mother concubine, what can my daughter-in-law do?" Zou's tears fell down again, sobbing. "My daughter-in-law is also looking forward to having a child, but His Highness doesn't want to. My daughter-in-law is really suffering and can't tell..."
"Then don't let him know. I remember that after the pill dissolves in water, it becomes colorless and tasteless." Concubine Shu cut off Zou Shi's words. While holding Zou's hand, he said slowly, "Secretly, add the medicine to the tea. Naturally, he won't notice."
"But His Highness will definitely notice it afterwards. By that time, His Highness may have a complete separation with his daughter-in-law." Zou looked at Concubine Shu with a worried expression. Hesitatingly said, "Mother Concubine, although His Highness has a good temper, he will not get angry easily. But when he gets angry, it will be a great atmosphere, and my daughter-in-law is worried..."
"You have a child. What else do you have to worry about? Besides, you have your concubine mother backing you up," Concubine Shu said slowly. While taking out the handkerchief and gently wiping Chou's tears, he continued to speak slowly, "You are doing this to extend his heirs. With this child, his position will be stable and he will have the chance to become emperor. Even if you get angry for a while, what's the point? You are doing it for his own good, and he is grateful to you in his heart. "
"But mother concubine..." Mrs. Zou hesitated.
"Be obedient," Concubine Shu cut off Mrs. Zou's words, took a sip of her tea, and then said slowly, "Next year in Laba, you will go to the Compassionate Ning Palace for dinner, and Mrs. Da'an will naturally bring the little prince over there. What about you? Are you still alone? This year you have been honored by the Da’an family and won the purple jade Ruyi rewarded by the Queen Mother. What about next year? Is it possible that you want to honor the honor of other people’s children to receive the reward? You are not young You’re young, you have to think about it yourself.”
Zou's face turned pale suddenly, and his lips trembled, "Yes, thank you for your advice, my daughter-in-law understands."
…
December 24th, 32nd year of Jiasheng
Ning Guta.
Twenty-four, sweeping the house, this is the old rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When I was in the Huanyi Bureau, Ah Chou had to be busy on this day. He had to get up before dawn and start cleaning with a group of court ladies In the clothing bureau, every corner and every corner has to be cleaned up. This is a rule that has been developed for many years, and this year is no exception.
"Why do you get up so early?" Zhong Mingwei was a little unhappy, holding Ah Chou to think about it, and he didn't let him get up, "Isn't it just cleaning the room? I will clean it in two or three strokes, and I don't need you." Do it, let's... sleep a little longer."
"Don't look at the size of the house, but cleaning is a delicate job, and it's exhausting." Ah Chou didn't want to stay on the bed, twisted his body and got out of Zhong Mingwei's arms, while still muttering, "The bedroom will be handed over to Zhong Mingwei." You, I'll clean up the side room and the outer hall, don't look at there are only three rooms, I'm afraid it won't be cleaned until the afternoon."
"Understood," Zhong Mingwei sighed, and then lay sprawled on the bed again, complaining in a low voice, "I'm getting old, and I don't want to sleep on the bed."
"You used to be lazy in bed, but now you are getting lazy. It is a big project to wake you up every day," Ah Chou muttered, while pulling his hair randomly, he leaned over and kissed Zhong Mingwei's forehead, "You Sleep a little longer, and I'll wake you up when I'm done cooking."
"No, I'll get up and light the fire for you..." Zhong Mingwei stretched out his arms around Ah Chou, and kissed him for a while, disdainful, "I haven't wiped my teeth yet, so you just do it, anyway, I can't wait to finish it." Kiss you again..."
"You do have this self-knowledge..." A Chou muttered, enough kisses, she carried Zhong Mingwei's clothes onto the kang, and then carried the bucket out of the outer hall.
As soon as he got to the well, Ah Chou couldn't help but frowned. The well was frozen. It is said that the well water is not easy to freeze. The well water in the Huanyi Bureau has never been frozen before, and I don't know. Could it be that Ninggu Pagoda is too cold, the well water is actually frozen, and it looks quite thick.
Ah Chou walked around the well, then went to the kitchen and carried a stone out, and threw it into the well.
With a sound of "Plop!", the ice in the well broke, and at the same time, Zhong Mingwei's exclamation came from the room.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Mingwei, who had just put on one leg of his trousers, was taken aback, so busy he opened the window and looked out, "Girl, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, it's just that the well is frozen. I just threw a stone into it, and it's healed now," Ah Chou hurriedly explained, and at the same time waved his hand at Zhong Mingwei in a hurry, "Close the window quickly, don't freeze .”
