Si Que glanced at Baisui, who put his little head into the porcelain bowl and licked the goat's milk. He bent down, took the silver spoon from You Yuji's hand, and put it into the goat's milk with a crisp sound. Then he took the bowl of goat's milk to the square table on the other side of the bedroom. Baisui hurried over, grabbed the embroidered stool wrapped in purple gauze and jumped onto the table, and continued to lick the goat's milk.
You Yuzhi's eyes followed Si Que all the time, watching him finish something and then walk towards her again.
She was still reclining on the beauty couch, without any other movements. She looked lazy, relaxed, and indifferent. But she knew in her heart that she was actually a little nervous.
Si Que sat sideways outside the beauty couch. He held You Yuji's ankle in his palm, and the soft purple gauze material slowly slid down, completely exposing the entire slender back of the foot.
You Yuji subconsciously shrank back. Si Que was not restrained to begin with, so she easily pulled her foot back in and hid her entire snow-white foot back into the layers of purple skirt.
Si Que looked at his empty palm, then raised his gaze to You Yuji, and slowly smiled: "Sister, you have to get used to it."
—That’s just where we are now.
Looking at Si Que's smiling eyes, You Yuji bit her lip lightly and felt sorry for her own behavior, but the action of retracting her foot just now was completely instinctive.
The charcoal fire in the bedroom was very warm, so even in early winter, You Yuji was wearing a light purple gauze skirt. The loose purple gauze wrapped her gently. You Yuji sat up. Her hands were casually placed on her legs, and the soft gauze sleeves were piled up, revealing a small section of her white wrist.
Before bathing, she drank some red plum wine, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked at Si Que: "Have you... thought about it?"
As soon as she said this, You Yuji felt that she had asked an unnecessary question. She clearly already knew the answer.
Si Que reached out and gently pulled You Yuji's sleeve to cover her exposed wrist. He raised his eyes and smiled at You Yuji.
"Sister." He called out once, and then again, "Sister, please don't go to the opera tomorrow, okay?"
You Yuji opened her lips slightly and revealed a gentle smile.
She said, "Okay, I'll just listen to your piano."
Just like a handful of warm water poured into my heart in the chill of spring. Si Que lowered his eyes and said, "Sister, I am not a person who can live long."
You Yuzhi was slightly surprised by Si Que's words.
Admittedly, she only wanted a child and didn't want to have anything to do with the child's father. But at this moment, she looked at Si Que, who was looking down, and tried to put herself in his shoes to understand his feelings and concerns.
After a while, You Yuji spoke again: "When the child grows up, I will tell him that he has a very good father."
Si Que suddenly smiled. He raised his eyes again and looked at You Yuji quietly: "Sister, wait for me for a few more days."
You Yuji was slightly startled.
Did he still need to consider it? Was she making things difficult for him? You Yuji frowned slightly, feeling a bit depressed.
"I need to stop taking the medication first."
You Yuji's eyes widened slightly and she looked at Si Que in surprise.
Yes, he is in poor health and has to take a lot of medicine every day. Is it because the medicine he takes will affect the fetus, so he needs to stop taking it temporarily for a period of time
You Yuji moved forward, closer to Si Que, and asked nervously, "If you stop taking the medicine, will it be harmful to your health?"
A pair of thin eyebrows were furrowed, outlining a hint of worry.
"My sister is worried about me." Si Que spoke softly and slowly, but with an affirmative tone.
You Yuji nodded gently, not hiding anything: "I can't hurt you for my own selfish reasons."
Si Que did not explain, but said: "Sister, please wait for me for another six days. Just six days will be enough."
You Yuji frowned, still staring into Si Que's eyes. She was a little confused, wondering if she had found the wrong person.
Seeing her expression, Si Que had to explain: "It's just a short period of time to stop taking the medicine. It's nothing serious."
You Yuji nodded slowly, still worried about Si Que's health. She was distracted and didn't realize Si Que was approaching. When she came back to her senses, Si Que was already so close.
You Yuji pursed her lips and watched Si Que getting closer and closer.
Si Que leaned close to You Yuji's ear and whispered, "Sister, I'll come back to see you in six days."
You Yuji's slightly red cheeks suddenly turned a darker color, and she lowered her eyes and nodded randomly.
Si Que picked up the cotton blanket from the inside of the beauty bed and put it over You Yuzhi. He slowly pulled the blanket over her and then stood up and left.
You Yuji kept the same posture as when Si Que left, and quietly watched him leave. She watched Si Que walk to the door, suddenly stop, and then turn around and walk towards her.
"What's the matter?" You Yuji asked softly.
Si Que said nothing and sat down sideways outside the beauty's bed again.
Just when You Yuji was puzzled, Si Que grabbed You Yuji's ankle again. You Yuji was stunned for a moment, but this time, she did not move.
She turned her eyes away and didn't look at Si Que.
Because she didn't look, it seemed that her senses became clearer. Even if she wanted to divert her attention, she couldn't. She could clearly feel how Si Que was playing with her feet. His gentle caresses, one after another, were transmitted to her heart very clearly.
Many people in this world are ticklish, especially the soles of their feet, which are most susceptible to itching. However, You Yuji is a person who is naturally not ticklish. But at this moment, she didn't feel itchy on the soles of her feet, but her heart was like down feathers falling to the ground.
Time passed slowly. After two quarters of an hour, Baisui had already licked the goat milk in the bowl clean. After eating, he wanted to sleep. He jumped off the embroidered stool and climbed onto the beauty couch again to find a comfortable sleeping nest in You Yuji's arms. He stood in front of You Yuji, and climbed up with his two front paws holding You Yuji's collar. You Yuji's loose collar was suddenly opened by him, revealing a large piece of dark purple. You Yuji hurriedly pushed Wansui away, and hurriedly tidied up the loose collar.
Suddenly, I felt an unusual softness on my ankle.
You Yuji was startled and looked up at Si Que in astonishment.
Si Que leaned over and kissed the small red mole on You Yuji's left ankle.
—He ate this evil poison.
You Yuji's heart was pounding.
People who had never known what it was like to itch suddenly understood the feeling. She turned away, half hiding her red face.
Si Que raised his eyes and looked at You Yuji quietly.
It was not just her selfish desire, but his boundless desire.
But not now.
Si Que slowly lowered his eyes again, and his long eyelashes concealed all his emotions.
She wants a child, and now he can't give her a child, so she won't want him now.
The next day, Liufeng went upstairs with the medicine and was stopped by Tingyun.
Liu Feng opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "But Your Highness can't stop taking the medicine for even a day!"
Tingyun sighed and shook his head.
No one can stop your highness's ideas.
You Yuji didn't see Si Que the whole day. At this time, Si Que probably didn't want her to see his paleness.
The opera troupe for this day was booked yesterday. Since You Yuji had promised Si Que, she did not attend and only let the people in the mansion go to watch the opera.
Moreover, You Yuji had some things to do today. She wanted to inquire about Chen Anzhi's coming-of-age banquet tomorrow. The coming-of-age ceremony was held in the ancestral temple, and female relatives did not need to attend. However, a banquet would be held in the mansion after the ceremony, and You Yuji, as the mistress, had to inquire about it.
Men can come of age at the age of 20 and can start a family after that. In many dynasties, the coming-of-age ceremony was advanced to the age of 12 or 15. In the Chen Dynasty, although the coming-of-age ceremony for men was still held at the age of 20, the rule that men could only start a family after they came of age was abandoned.
The steward in the mansion had already arranged everything. You Yuji listened to the report according to the rules and then went back to Tan Xiang Ying Yue to rest.
The midday sun was warm. You Yujie took a nap under the window, the warm light shining on her face, and Baisui nestled beside her.
You Yuji opened her eyes and remembered something.
—Si Que has been dressed as a girl since he was young. In this life, there will never be a distinguished guest to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for him and then give him a nickname.
You Yuzhi held Baisui in her arms, and gently stroked Baisui's soft hair with her slender fingers, once again wondering why Si Que had been dressing as a woman since he was a child.
After a long time, You Yuji sighed softly.
"Madam, why are you still sighing?" Baohe came in from outside, holding a large bottle of freshly picked red plums in her arms and placed them on the windowsill. For a moment, You Yuji, who was sitting on the beauty couch under the window, was filled with the fragrance of plums.
"Baohe, go ask about Princess Que's birthday."
Baohe responded and walked out quickly.
You Yuzhi looked at the red plum blossoms on the windowsill, and couldn't help but think of what happened after Si Que came last night.
She had thought of it many times today, and each time she was driven away.
This time, she no longer forced herself not to think about it, but instead recalled every detail of last night.
Chen Lingyan, who had just returned home yesterday, came to the Fang family to see Fang Qingyi.
"How did things develop to this point!" Chen Lingyan frowned, looking unhappy. She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about her dignified and virtuous cousin having to become a lowly concubine.
Fang Qingyi didn't want to either.
But now that things have come to this, since she can't be a co-wife, she has to think of other ways. In addition to being a step-wife or a co-wife, there is another way out - becoming the first wife.
In addition to this matter, Fang Qingyi had another worry in her heart. She held Chen Lingyan's hand and tentatively said, "Lingyan, I have something to ask you."
"Yes, cousin, just ask whatever you want to ask. I can't hide anything from you!"
Fang Qingyi considered her words carefully: "Two years ago, my cousin went to Si State."
"Yeah." Chen Lingyan tilted her head, not knowing why her cousin suddenly asked this.
Fang Qingyi smiled unnaturally and continued to probe: "My cousin must have fallen in love with Princess Que of Si Kingdom at that time."
"Yes." Chen Lingyan nodded, looking calm.
Fang Qingyi's heart sank. She didn't expect Chen Lingyan to answer her so straightforwardly. She fell silent, not knowing how to ask. In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to ask.
Chen Lingyan held her chin with both hands and continued with a smile: "My brother was drunk at that time and talked nonsense to me. He said that if he could marry Princess Que in this life, it would be worth it to die immediately."
Chen Lingyan covered her mouth and laughed for a while before continuing, "But at that time, after my brother came back from Si State, he thought he would never see Princess Que again in this life. He said with regret that he only hoped to be lucky in this life. It would be a blessing if the wife he marries in the future can be as elegant as Princess Que."
Chen Lingyan frowned and muttered unhappily, "Brother, your hopes are dashed. That You Yuji is the exact opposite."
Chen Lingyan sighed, regretting that her cousin could not become her sister-in-law. She said helplessly: "Cousin, I always thought you could marry my brother. I like you very much and hope you can be my sister-in-law. My brother also likes women like you, which is the best of both worlds. Who would have thought that the emperor grandfather..."
Chen Lingyan talked a lot, but Fang Qingyi didn't listen anymore. She tried to smile and keep her dignity, but her heart was stabbed with pain.
She originally thought that she and her cousin were in love with each other.
She originally thought that her cousin had found two women who looked like herself in a brothel to quench his thirst.
It turns out that Cuiyu and Lin Yingying don't look like her, but like the one from Yunxiao Pavilion. Even she herself has a little bit of that one's elegance...
It turns out that she is the same person as Cuiyu and Lin Yingying.
It turned out that everyone knew that she was just a substitute, and she was the only one who naively thought that she and her cousin were in love with each other.
In the evening, Fang Qingyi went to the Zhao family to find Zhao's new bride, Jia Wenyin.
—Jia Wenyin’s elder brother once boasted on the battlefield that he would exchange a city for You Yuji, but was beheaded by You Yuji’s father.
The author has something to say: Little Princess: Who will take care of her and our children after I die? What if someone bullies them... (Omitted 100,000 words of worry)
Youyou: … Actually, I just want a child, not a father.
I failed to update twice today qaq I will definitely be able to do it tomorrow!!!
