Chapter 754 Rejection
Chu Jingqi took Xia Zihan's hand and returned to Yuqiong Garden happily.
Before entering the Chuihua Gate, he saw a little maid sweeping the floor leisurely. He told her, "The cousin in the house is not feeling well. Go and ask a doctor for her."
The little maid stopped, saluted the two of them, and looked at Chu Jingqi, "Your Majesty, which cousin is it?"
Yesterday, a lot of people from the Zhuo family came. The little maids in the mansion were curious and asked about the maidservant who was assigned to serve the Zhuo family in the guest house. They found out that there were two cousins from the Zhuo family, one with the surname Yuan and the other with the surname Yuan. Zhuo.
They are all of marriageable age, but there is no engagement.
The maids and ladies in the mansion were all speculating and talking behind their backs. Did the two cousins, who came to the capital at this age, want to rely on their connections with Prince An's palace to find a husband in the capital?
Chu Jingqi never cared about other women and didn't remember their names. He looked at Xia Zihan innocently, and Xia Zihan rolled her eyes at him, and then told the little maid, "It's Miss Yuan Biao's illness." Come on, you can ask the doctor to come over. There is a lady in charge in the guest house.”
It means, if you have something to do, don't tell the prince again, just tell the lady in charge.
The prince was annoyed and wanted them to look good.
The little maids were all trained by Chu Lin. They were very clever and understood the elegant meaning of the words. They immediately responded, "Princess, if I know this, I will definitely not let anyone disturb the prince and the princess."
Chu Jingqi raised her eyebrows and nodded happily.
The couple returned to the flower hall, had dinner, and took a nap together. Then a little maid came to report that it was Miss Qingya from the Chu family.
Xia Zihan said hurriedly, "Let her in quickly."
Qingya is the eldest maid beside her grandmother. She must have been sent by her grandmother.
After a moment, Qingya followed Chu Qiao and walked in. She bent her knees slightly, saluted, and said to Xia Zihan, "Princess, the old lady is thinking of you and sent the servant to have a look. This is the old lady asking the cook to Mom made sweet-scented osmanthus cake and coconut cake for you to eat.”
As he spoke, he handed a large box in his hand to Chu Qiao who was standing aside.
Chu Qiao put it on the table, opened it, took out an empty plate, filled it with a plate of snacks, and placed it within Xia Zihan's reach.
Xia Zihan ate a piece, nodded and praised, "This is the coconut cake from the south, or authentically made by the Chu family's cook. It melts in your mouth."
As he spoke, he twisted a piece and stuffed it into the mouth of Chu Jingqi next to him.
Chu Jingqi swallowed a piece in three mouthfuls, and said with a doting look on her face, "You like it, just in time. Dad will pass by Jiangnan when he comes back. At this time, he will almost arrive in Jiangnan. I, Feige, sent a message to Dad, asking him to Bring a dim sum chef from Jiangnan to make dim sum for you.”
Xia Zihan twisted another piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, and asked, "Is there enough time? Dad will be in the capital next month."
"It's just in time, the emperor received the news. It rained heavily in the south for more than ten days, and the army was delayed for half a month." Chu Jingqi swallowed the cake and replied.
Seeing Qingya still standing, Xia Zihan said, "Qingya, you are the eldest maid beside my grandmother. You are like a sister to me. Don't stand, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Princess, I don't dare."
How dare you call me sister and sister with the princess?
She is just a maid, a slave.
However, Qingya still sat down. She took out a new purse and handed it to Xia Zihan, "This is what Divine Doctor Bai asked your slave to bring to the princess. Divine Doctor Bai said that the princess will definitely be able to use it." "What?"
Xia Zihan opened her purse curiously and saw that there was only a small white porcelain bottle inside.
The porcelain bottle was not empty. It contained three small red pills that were larger than peanuts. Xia Zihan poured out one, and his expression changed. He said in surprise, "They are blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing pills."
This blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying pill is not the other blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying pill, because it contains a rare snow lingzhi that Xia Zihan gave to Doctor Bai.
With the addition of precious medicinal materials, the effect of this medicine is more than a hundred times better than the ordinary blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing pills. By then, even if she suffers from bleeding during childbirth, she can still save her life by taking just one blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing pill.
Xia Zihan put the pills that he had poured out and put them in again. Just when he was about to tell the maid to put them away, Chu Jingqi stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me and I will put it away."
Just kidding, for such a precious thing, something that was related to the life of his precious Ayu, of course he had to come and report it in person.
Chu Jingqi put away the porcelain vase herself, and Xia Zihan ordered Chu Qiao to take Qingya to the teahouse to drink tea before sending her back.
In the evening, Zhuo's group came back.
Xia Zihan only heard the maid report. Since they didn't have dinner together, Xia Zihan didn't have to go to greet Zhuo, so she didn't see them.
However, early the next morning, as soon as Xia Zihan finished eating, the maid came to report that Yuan Liqin and Zhuo Yiling were here.
"Let them go back. The Crown Princess is very heavy and will not receive guests for the time being."
Before Xia Zihan could speak, Chu Jingqi rejected the two cousins' request to visit her on her behalf.
Xia Zihan looked disapproving, "This is not good. Anyway, two cousins came all the way to the capital to visit my cousin-in-law with good intentions, but I refused to let them in. People will say that I This cousin is petty, or I look down on them.”
"No matter what others say..." Chu Jingqi looked disapproving. Seeing that Xia Zihan was about to darken her face, she quickly changed her words and said, "You are heavy and it is natural to refuse to see guests. Be good, I will take you to the flower room. Li, didn’t you say we should take more walks? Let’s go for more walks on the lawn.”
Xia Zihan knew that Chu Jingqi didn't like others to disturb them, but... they were guests, and this was the first time that her uncle's family had come all the way to the capital to play. She and Aqi were so indifferent to them, how can I say, None of them are good.
Both of them walked to the door of the flower room.
Xia Zihan's thoughts changed again.
Hey, that's all, if you don't see her, then she'll see you. Anyway, that Yuan Liqin is not a good bird. She came to the door in person, maybe she has an ulterior motive, right?
The couple went for a leisurely walk on the lawn, while Yuan Liqin and Zhuo Yiling, who were ignored by them, were still waiting for them to be summoned outside the gate of Yuqiongyuan. After waiting for almost two cups of tea, a little maid came over. He repeated what Chu Jingqi said.
Not seeing Chu Jingqi, Yuan Liqin was filled with disappointment.
Zhuo Yiling said to the maid, "It's all our fault. My cousin is so heavy, so we shouldn't come here to disturb her." Then she said to Yuan Liqin, "Cousin, let's go back."
People have issued an eviction order and they are not allowed to see them. If they don't go back, what can they do?
Yuan Liqin smiled bitterly.
The two people left disappointed.
