Not long after, Ting Yun came over with a medicine box on his shoulder to change Si Que's medicine.
You Yuji put down the red dress in her hand, stood up and walked out of the inner room, avoiding the scene where Si Que was changing the dressing. It was not that she wanted to avoid it on purpose, but Si Que did not allow her to see the wound on his leg.
He said it was ugly and he didn't want his sister to see his ugly wound.
You Yuji casually looked at the flower arrangements in the outer room and found that a vase of winter chrysanthemums was a little wilted, so she asked the maid to change it. She has always liked flowers and plants, and even if there are not many flowers and plants in the cold winter in the north, she wants to make green everywhere. Baohe happened to be holding a large bunch of flowers and plants that she had just picked. You Yuji sat down at the square table and trimmed and arranged the flowers in the room with great interest.
When she was little, she didn't particularly like these flower arrangements, but her mother liked them more. Her mother's hometown was in Suguo, where the four seasons were like spring, and the flowers were in full bloom. After her mother married to Siguo, she did not give up this hobby, planting flowers and plants herself, and often spent long afternoons in her own garden.
When You Yuji was a child, she would run outside with her father, and would also sit quietly beside her mother and watch her fiddle with flowers and plants. Her mother would also teach her how to plant flowers and prune branches.
Sometimes my mother would lament that many flowers and plants could not grow in the field.
When she grew up, You Yuzhi realized that her mother missed her hometown.
She sat on her father's lap and asked, "Mother, do you want to go back?"
A Niang put a purple iris in her hair and shook her head gently.
You Yuji sighed softly. When she grew up, she knew that her mother missed Suguo, but she loved Sidi more. Because her father and she were there. But now, her father was gone, and even Sidi had become a homeland that she could never return to.
I wonder if A Niang’s garden has become withered and in ruins in the two years since I was away.
When Tingyun changed Si Que's medicine and left, You Yuzhi was still fiddling with the flowers and plants.
Later, Si Que came out from the inner room, sat aside and watched her trimming quietly.
You Yuji turned and smiled at him.
Baohe gently touched the pillow with her elbow, and the pillow nodded almost imperceptibly.
"scissors."
Baohe came to her senses and immediately reached for the scissors, but Sique had already taken a step ahead and handed the scissors to You Yuzhi.
Baohe's bright eyes rolled around twice, and she winked at the pillow.
While You Yuji and Si Que were talking, Zhenxu mouthed to Baohe silently: "Be quiet!"
You Yuji trimmed the flowers for another hour, changing all the vases in the inner and outer bedrooms and the flower hall. She told the maid to put the vases in place, then she pushed Si Que back to the inner room and sat on the bed to continue trimming her red dress until dusk fell.
"Green Shu, the green-calyx plums in the bottle on the windowsill have withered." Fang Qingyi said.
Green Shu, who was tidying up the antique shelf, immediately responded and said, "I will go and change it right away."
Fang Qingyi didn't blame Lu Shu, she knew that Lu Shu was not good at these things. These things were done by Hong Zan before, but Hong Zan has become a concubine now, no longer a maid beside her, and moved to the opposite side.
Fang Qingyi could see Hongzan's current residence through the open window.
Soon, she saw Chen Anzhi.
In the past few days, Chen Anzhi would come to Anxiangyuan every day. He would first come to talk with her and have dinner with her, and then stay at Hongzan's place after dark.
But Chen Anzhi didn't come today. Fang Qingyi watched from the open window as Chen Anzhi went straight to Hongzan.
Green Shu also saw it. She wanted to persuade him, but she was too tongue-tied to know how to start.
"Have you been drinking Hongzan's contraceptive soup?" Fang Qingyi asked.
"Of course. There is no news from Tan Xiang Ying Yue, so the concubines will continue to drink the contraceptive soup. This is what the princess personally instructed."
Fang Qingyi placed her hands on her abdomen. She was also very familiar with the rules of the palace, but she had recently begun to feel uneasy. She had once been determined to fight for the position of the Crown Prince's Consort and was thinking about how to kill You Yuji. Recently, she began to doubt that even if she really killed You Yuji, could she really be promoted from a concubine to a wife
The one from Yunxiao Pavilion is the one the prince really loves.
The only consolation Fang Qingyi felt was that Si Que's identity meant she could not be the legal wife. But this consolation was too shallow. Even if Si Que could not be the legal wife, what about others
If my aunt asks my cousin to marry a second wife, will he refuse
He is such a cowardly person.
Fang Qingyi closed her eyes, regrets slapping her like waves, making her feel suffocated. She regretted that she shouldn't have placed her bet on a coward like her cousin, and she regretted getting pregnant out of wedlock even more.
"Master, you haven't played the piano for several days. The prince likes to listen to you playing the piano the most." Lu Shu suggested.
Fang Qingyi didn't want to touch the strings again.
She just felt embarrassed.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her still flat belly. This child was her only bargaining chip. She once thought that with this child, she would have everything.
But now she is afraid.
The rules in the mansion were strict, and several concubines could not get pregnant. But what about outside the mansion? Since my cousin could make her pregnant before marriage, would he continue to keep concubines outside the mansion in the future
Fang Qingyi suddenly felt a chill.
Maybe he already has a woman outside and has a child
When Tan Xiang Ying Yue gives birth, the baby in her belly will no longer be a bargaining chip. Even if Tan Xiang Ying Yue can't give birth, the contraceptive soup can be stopped for three to five years at most. By then, Chen An Zhi will have many children, and the baby in her belly will not be a big deal...
How can I make the baby in my belly become Chen Anzhi's only child
if…
If Chen Anzhi died.
Fang Qingyi's lifeless eyes were tinged with a strange color, and the hands on her abdomen were shaking wildly.
The next morning, You Yuzhi woke up and gently pushed Si Que.
"You haven't been to the flower hall for a long time. Let's go together today?" Her voice was soft, with her usual gentle tone, and also had the laziness of not yet awake.
Si Que opened his eyes and listened to her quietly, watching how her delicate lips slowly opened and closed, occasionally he could vaguely see the tip of her tongue inside.
Si Que coughed lightly before saying, "Okay, I'll go with my sister."
You Yuji yawned, lifted the quilt and sat up, one side of her clothes slipped down to half her arm. This was Si Que's pajamas. She pulled up the slipped clothes and looked back at Si Que.
Si Que raised one hand and placed it casually between his eyebrows. His injured leg was flat on the bed, and the other leg was propped up. He half-closed his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
He only used the corner of the quilt to cover his legs and waist. Against the dark purple mattress, his body looked even whiter than jade.
Si Que suddenly raised his eyelashes and looked over, his eyes slowly overflowing with a smile. He gently called "sister", then lowered his voice by three points, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Okay."
You Yuji quietly shifted her gaze away, held the two pieces of her clothes in front of her with one hand, pulled the quilt with the other hand to cover him, then stood up and hurried to the small room to change clothes.
While changing clothes, You Yuji was distracted.
She couldn't help but wonder if this kind of plundering would be too harmful to Si Que's health? Not only was he already in poor health, but now he also injured one of his legs. How about letting him have a good rest tonight
When You Yuji returned to the inner room after washing up, Si Que had already stood up and was putting on the white clothes on the bedside table.
"Wait." You Yuzhi stopped him.
Si Que put down his coat, turned his head and asked obediently: "Now?"
It took You Yuji a moment to realize what he meant. Her face immediately flushed and she hastily explained, "No!"
Then she brought over the dress that she had altered until late yesterday. She bent down, looked at Si Que, and said with a smile, "Sister thinks this dress will look better on you, want to try it?"
Si Que lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in red in You Yuji's arms, and did not reply for a while.
You Yuji waited quietly. If he really didn't like it, she wouldn't force him.
"Okay." Si Que smiled, "As long as sister likes it, I'm fine with it."
Hearing this, You Yuji paused for a moment in spreading out her shirt before continuing to spread out the clothes and helping Si Que put it on, and then helped her put on her skirt.
Si Que stood up and held on to the high stool beside him.
You Yuji bent over in front of him, carefully adjusting the laces of her skirt, then slowly squatted down to help him straighten the hem of his skirt.
"The length is just right." You Yuji smiled, very satisfied with her own changes.
She stood up, took a few steps back, and looked Si Que up and down with a little surprise.
"What's wrong?" Si Que asked.
"Nothing." You Yuji helped Si Que sit down in the wheelchair, and then pushed him to the dressing table. She took a wooden comb and gently combed his long hair.
His black hair was not as soft as You Yuji's, but it was smooth in another way. Although Si Que had been dressing as a woman since he was young, his clothes and hair accessories were always as simple as they could be. You Yuji combed his long hair, and as usual, she picked up a strand of black hair on each side and gathered them behind with a jade button. But she did not use the white jade button he usually used, but a red jade button instead.
When Liu Feng came in, she saw You Yuji carefully combing Si Que's hair. Liu Feng looked up and down at Si Que's red dress with curiosity. She stood aside for a while, and then she scratched her face and went out when she realized there was nothing she could do.
Liu Feng felt that since His Highness moved here, she didn't have to do any work at all.
She looked at the two people in the room through the open window. You Yuzhi was concentrating on drawing Si Que's eyebrows.
Liu Feng smiled, happy that His Highness had gotten what he wished for.
Chun Xing, Lin Yingying and Cui Yu came together. When they arrived, You Yuji and Si Que had already arrived at the flower hall, drinking tea and chatting.
The three of them stared at Si Que in a daze for a long time.
This cold and proud princess who always wore snow-white clothes was wearing a bright red dress today. It turns out that the colder a person is, the more stunning they will be when they wear strong colors. When she sat there, everything around her became dim, and only she had color, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over there.
I didn’t understand in the past why some people would pay any price to make a beautiful woman smile, but now I understand.
You Yuji turned her head and said something to Si Que. His cold and arrogant face suddenly broke into a smile, and his eye-catching red clothes instantly turned into a burning flame.
"Why are you all standing there like idiots? Take a seat." You Yuji looked at Chun Xing, Cui Yu and Lin Yingying with a smile.
The three of them seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and they could not help but follow the sound and look at You Yuji. She was still the same as before, with a gentle smile always hanging between her eyebrows, and she was wrapped in a light purple dress, which was not very dazzling, but it made people unable to help but linger on her after looking at her, and they felt relaxed and happy.
At this moment, the three people and their respective maids said the same thing in their hearts at the same time -
It is indeed the double excellence of Si State.
The three of them gradually took their seats and were silent for a while. Lin Yingying was the first to speak: "Princess, you look really good in this outfit today."
Si Que raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yingying.
He was smiling when You Yuji was talking to him just a moment ago. But when he turned his eyes away from You Yuji and looked at others, he looked cold and aloof again.
Lin Yingying was embarrassed.
You Yuji said gently, "I picked it for him. He usually wears plain and elegant colors, which gets boring after a while. It's nice to change the color occasionally."
The three aunts looked at each other.
—All three of them were dressed in white.
You Yuji looked at Lin Yingying and said with a smile: "Yingying, I always think you will look better in pink. You can also try a more lively hairstyle."
"Sister, do you think so too? I like pink the best!" Lin Yingying's eyes curved.
"What about me? What about me? What color do you think looks good on me?" Cuiyu asked hurriedly. Girls always love beauty.

I thought of two new pre-collections.
If you are interested, you can save it in advance. See the column for details. The title may be changed later.
"Little Slave"
King Qin brought back a skinny little slave from the slave market.
She served in chains,
Until later, heavy shackles locked him up for the rest of his life.
#Unattainable and Little Slave#
Cousin
The cousin of the Duke's Mansion is gentle, dignified and extremely beautiful, but it's a pity that her marriage is always unsuccessful.
Little did she know that she was a virtuous young lady during the day, but at night she was already the young lord's bedmate.
Han Su looked at the satisfied man, blaming herself for coaxing and deceiving him on the way to Beijing. At that time, she thought he was a swordsman, but she didn't know that he was the man from the Duke's Mansion she was going to seek refuge with, her cousin.
Han Su frowned and sighed that this man was so narrow-minded. She wondered when he would calm down and let her go.
