You Yuzhi suddenly turned around, and Si Que instantly put away the gloomy look on his face and looked at her quietly.
"Yes, and your cat."
After saying this, You Yuji raised the corners of her lips and turned to walk out.
Si Que turned his head to look at Baisui lying in the corner of the bed. It had grown a lot bigger than that rainy night, but it was still a kitten, with its fur rustling.
You Yuji went outside and ordered a few special nourishing meals. Because her mother was seriously ill, she knew a little about dietary therapy.
Suddenly, she thought of her mother again. She stood under the eaves, looking at the falling snow, and sighed softly.
Si Que injured his leg, and You Yuji did not let him get up, but asked the maid to move a small square table on the bed. Si Que glanced at the various nourishing meals on the table and silently picked up the deer milk.
You Yuji sat opposite him and ate a little before losing her appetite. She raised her hand and rolled up her sleeves, and personally filled a bowl of bone soup and handed it to Si Que: "Here, drink this up."
Si Que glanced at the oil stains on the soup and frowned.
You Yuji took his hand and stuffed the bowl of bone soup into his hand. She looked into Si Que's eyes and said word by word: "Drink it up."
Si Que lowered his eyes and glanced at You Yuji's slender hand, then took a sip unwillingly. After just one sip, he put the bone soup down.
"Don't you want your leg to get better soon?" You Yuzhi asked.
"I've already drunk it." Si Que said perfunctorily.
You Yuji looked at him helplessly, thinking that Si Que was like a willful child. She bit her lip lightly, frowning slightly. However, Si Que enjoyed watching her struggling for him with great interest.
She suddenly changed in his eyes.
You Yuji slowly raised the corners of her lips and her eyes lit up. She stood up from her seat on the bed, walked to Si Que, leaned over, and whispered something softly into Si Que's ear.
Si Que was stunned.
You Yuji stood up with a smile on her face, walked back to the opposite side and sat down, eating leisurely and elegantly with the silver chopsticks in her hand.
Si Que stared at her for a while, then picked up the bowl of bone soup in front of him and drank it all. He put the empty bowl down heavily, and with a cold face, he filled another bowl of soup.
He scooped up the full bowl of tonic soup again and again, and finally drank it all.
He finally finished drinking. You Yuji leaned forward, smiled and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Si Que.
"You Yuji, how could you say something like that?" he asked.
You Yuji also felt that what she said was too extreme and embarrassing, but seeing Si Que's reaction, her original embarrassment quietly dissipated. She said "hmm" softly, "Then I won't say it again in the future."
Si Que looked at You Yuji's eyes and was speechless for a moment.
You Yuji had already turned her head away, with a gentle smile on her lips. She told the maid outside to come in and clear the table.
The maids were busy, their footsteps were light but they sounded noisy to Si Que. Later, You Yuji sat lazily in the rattan chair under the window and took a medical book to read. Si Que, who was sitting on the bed, was still looking at her, watching her hair hanging down on one side, watching her gentle but focused expression, watching her fingertips turning the pages of the book, and even the thin blanket on her legs seemed to be particularly soft in color.
Si Que was still thinking about what You Yuzhi had just said to him when she leaned over.
—She whispered softly in his ear, "Some poses cannot be performed without a leg."
Si Que silently muttered "fox spirit" and lay down out of boredom. He picked up the sleeping Baisui and rolled him up in his hands to play with him.
At night, in order to avoid touching Si Que's injured leg, You Yuzhi slept on the outside of the bed.
When Zhenxu turned off the light and came out of the inner room, he heard You Yuji behind him gently say to Si Que: "If your wound hurts at night, tell me immediately. If you need anything, wake me up..."
Zhenxu closed the door and walked out quietly. Along the way, she couldn't help thinking about what Baohe said to her last time.
Could it be that Madam really doesn’t like men who have the habit of polishing mirrors
Zhenxu returned to her room, washed up absentmindedly, and lay on the bed tossing and turning, still wondering whether You Yuji liked men.
You Yuji has been a beauty since she was young. She not only has the cheerfulness and brightness of the grassland people, but also the gentleness and softness of the Su people from her mother's side. When she was in Siguo, both men and women liked to interact with her. Not only that, the elders also praised her highly.
Moreover, the You family is also a prominent family in the Si Kingdom. Not only is the family huge and wealthy, but the You family also has both military merits and fame.
In Zhenxu's impression, when You Yuji was just over ten years old, many people had already come to the You family to get married. Of course, the You family's daughters had no trouble finding a husband, and the elders of the You family loved their children very much, so they would never arrange an engagement so early, and they declined one by one.
The elders were eager to take You Yuji in as their daughter-in-law, and the peers were vying for merit to show their affection to You Yuji. The Si people were not as reserved as the Central Plains people. If the children of the grassland had someone they liked, they would show their affection openly. Even if they were rejected, they would either continue to pursue the person or become friends after talking it out...
Zhenxu tried hard to recall the men who had shown affection to You Yuji over the years.
That’s really too much!
In Zhenxu's opinion, many of these men are really very good!
Zhenxu continued to try to recall whether You Yuji had ever liked anyone, or even looked at any man more than once. Zhenxu scratched her head and thought for a long time, but she had no impression at all.
Zhenxu sat up suddenly, looked at Baohe who was sleeping on the other bed with fear, and asked, "Could it be that our Madam really likes women?"
Baohe was sleeping soundly. She scratched her butt, turned over, and soon she even snored twice.
The pillow was greatly shocked.
You Yuji is 19 years old, not a young girl anymore. But she has never been moved by so many suitors? Does that mean...
"In the past, Madam always read Princess Que's poems and articles. Could it be that she already liked Princess Que at that time? Now the princess has broken her leg and has to sleep in the same bed..."
I sat there with my pillow on for half the night.
The next day, Cuiyu, Lin Yingying and Chunxing came to pay their respects to You Yuji. As soon as the three of them arrived, Hongzan also came over.
Hong Zan knelt down softly and bowed: "Greetings to the Madam."
Cui Yu and Lin Yingying looked at each other and saw the same meaningful smile in each other's eyes.
"You're welcome." You Yuji asked someone to stand up. "I don't have so many rules here, and you don't have to come and pay your respects every day. If you have time to come and sit for a while, I welcome you. There is no need for such a solemn rule as paying your respects."
"Madam, you are so kind." Hong Zan knelt down again, "I just moved to a new place and I still need to pack up. I will be back soon."
You Yuji nodded and looked at Hongzan's departing back.
You Yuzhi found out yesterday afternoon that Hongzan was promoted to concubine.
Fang Qingyi had hardly gone out since she became Chen Anzhi's concubine. Others thought she was embarrassed and could not accept being a concubine. But You Yuji knew that she was probably not feeling well.
Yes, many people in this mansion did not know that Fang Qingyi was pregnant before marriage. Several servants who knew about it had been sent to the manor by Chen Anzhi.
It’s still too early for Fang Qingyi to get married, and she will probably have to wait another month or two before telling everyone that she is pregnant.
Therefore, You Yuji was very surprised that Hongzan became a concubine. Hongzan was Fang Qingyi's personal maid. Fang Qingyi was pregnant now. Why did Chen Anzhi take Hongzan in at this time
You Yuji sighed softly.
"Sister, I want to go home to visit mother tomorrow." Lin Yingying carefully looked at You Yuji's expression. She knew that as a concubine, it was not good to go home so frequently.
"Okay." You Yuji had almost no hesitation.
"Sister is so nice!" Lin Yingying smiled brightly and continued to say a lot of words to make You Yuzhi happy.
While You Yuji was chatting with several concubines, an unpleasant incident occurred in Qingyaju.
Chen Anzhi accompanied Chen Lingyan to Qingyaju to choose jewelry and met King Kang Jing.
King Kang Jing was a member of the royal family of the surrendered Qi State. With such an identity, he should have been imprisoned and kept in a separate palace. However, because Qi State had surrendered voluntarily, King Kang Jing showed his loyalty to Emperor Chen, fought in the battlefield and won military merit. Not only was he not imprisoned in a separate palace, he was also granted the title of a king of a different surname and was highly regarded by Emperor Chen.
"Brother, are there storytelling going on over there? When will there be another storyteller in Qingyaju?" Chen Lingyan pulled Chen Anzhi to Ningchazhai to join in the fun.
As they got closer, Chen Anzhi heard that what was being talked about was the story of You Yuzhi taming a horse to save someone in the street.
When Chen Anzhi and his sister walked over, the storyteller had finished his story. As he finished his story, a scholar in white clothes also put down his pen. The scholar unfolded his painting, which was exactly the scene of You Yuji training horses that day.
On a tall horse, a beauty in purple with loose hair looks back with a sweet smile.
Chen Anzhi stared at the painting and his face turned dark instantly.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Chen Anzhi turned around with an unhappy look on his face.
"Is this You Yuji?" King Kang Jing picked up the portrait. "I heard that You is extremely beautiful. Is she similar to the fairy in this portrait?"
The scholar said anxiously, "My painting skills are poor, and I can't paint even one tenth of You's beauty."
Someone nearby also echoed:
"You is indeed a beauty."
“I am more beautiful in person than this picture.”
"If beauty must be ranked first, second, or third, Yu Shi is second, and no one else can be first."
"Oh? This prince is very interested." King Kang Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Anzhi who was about to leave, and smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "Prince An, they all said that Youshi was extremely beautiful, I wonder how much of it is just following the crowd. As her husband, you must know the most. Can you help this prince clear up this confusion?"
Chen Anzhi's face darkened, and his hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist. He turned around and stared at King Kang Jing angrily: "Qi Mingcheng! Are you drunk? Do you know what you are saying?"
Qi Mingcheng laughed loudly twice. He admired the beauty in the painting carefully and looked at Chen Anzhi: "I heard that Prince An wants to exchange his beautiful concubine for a good horse. I wonder what I can give to get Youshi? Prince An, name your price."
A concubine is good at business, and a wife is a face.
Chen Anzhi was so angry that his face turned pale. He wanted to rush up and kill Qi Mingcheng who was sincerely humiliating him! But he knew in his heart that he had neither the ability nor the courage to kill him.
But can we just let this matter go like this
He is the eldest son of the Chen family and the grandson of the great emperor. How could he allow himself to be humiliated by this surrendered person
No, he couldn't allow this thief to humiliate him like this and trample his face under his feet!
Qi Mingcheng was tall and strong, and Chen Lingyan was scared just by looking at him. She pulled Chen Anzhi's arm and kept persuading him in a low voice: "Brother, let's go..."
Chen Anzhi shook off Chen Lingyan's hand and strode towards Qi Mingcheng.
Qi Mingcheng has always looked down on the useless royal family like the Chen family. He looked at Chen Anzhi coming and smiled, "Have you thought of the price?"
"Barbarians, no wonder the country was destroyed!" Chen Anzhi snatched the portrait from Qi Mingcheng's hand and turned around angrily. He glanced at the portrait in his hand, and You Yuji's face appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but curse her in his heart for being unfaithful and bringing shame to him!
Qi Mingcheng's face also darkened.
No matter how proud you are, the loss of your country is always a thorn in your side.
You Yuzhi, who was being scolded by Chen Anzhi, was taking a nap beside Si Que at this time.
Si Que lifted a strand of her long hair, twisted it around his long fingers twice, and then gently swept the end of her hair across You Yuzhi's collarbone.
You Yuji felt itchy in her sleep, so she scratched her collarbone, causing her clothes to be pulled open a little. She was not sleeping soundly, and she opened her eyes dazedly, looking at Si Que in a daze.
"Sister, I'm going to the consecration room."
You Yuji woke up and sat up: "Shall I tell you to stop Yun?"
"No." He smiled at You Yuji, "I don't want anyone to help me pull up my pants."
