Wishful Things

Xu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But then shook his head thoughtfully.

No, not necessarily...

What if, after Ah Yuan has opened his mind, he is very good in front of the girl he likes?

After all, just because he didn't want the girl he likes to go hungry, he would rather show his affection indirectly to her mother and entrust her with food. It can be seen that he is not as hopeless as his father.

Thinking of this, Xu felt a little relieved.

And since the son indirectly confessed his intentions to her, then as a mother, she can no longer pretend to be stupid in the future, and she still needs to help where she should.

Mrs. Xu was holding the sachet in a very good mood to look at it, when a maid came to report outside, saying that the prince had returned.

"My son."

Xu got up and saluted with a smile.

Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Wu Jingming also had a smile on his face. He sat down and asked, "Ma'am, is there any hot food?"

This time I came to the palace, because my wife had Yun Jiang by my side, and there was also a small kitchen in the yard. My wife, who has always been careful and thoughtful, would definitely consider that he would not be full at the table, so she prepared meals for him.

That's how it usually is.

"Food..." Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I prepared some food, but I asked Yun Jiang to send it to Miss Xu's."

"Ms. Xu's?" Wu Jingming asked in bewilderment, "Ma'am...why do you send food to Miss Xu's?"

And it's still his share?

In the past, his position in Madam's mind was the most important, but since Tianjiao was born, he can only take the second place. Although it is difficult to accept, it can be regarded as convincing himself anyway.

But... why now it seems that anyone, even a little girl from a certain family, can take away his place in Madam's heart?

"I see that the Xu family girl didn't eat much at the banquet tonight." Xu said half-truthfully.

She did not intend to explain her son's feelings to her husband.

After all, if the husband finds out, he will only hinder his son.

Furthermore, the joy of her future daughter-in-law being very caring is like raising a cat, and she doesn't really want to share it with her husband.

——Just because he felt that the girl from the Xu family was not full, he sent his food over?

Wu Jingming felt that this reason could not convince him.

Besides—

"Why does Madam pay so much attention to the girl from the Xu family?" Thinking of Duke Zhen's attention on his son tonight, Wu Shizi faintly felt that there seemed to be many secrets hidden in corners he didn't know.

"In the whole banquet, the girl from the Xu family is the most beautiful girl. If I don't pay attention to her, who should I pay attention to?" Xu said naturally.

Hearing this irrefutable but seemingly perfunctory answer, Wu Shizi hesitated for a while.

At this time, I only heard my wife say: "It's getting late, tomorrow is the first day of spring hunting, I will take care of your son and rest early."

Wu Shizi was stunned again.

...He hasn't eaten yet, so why put him to sleep?

And I always feel that the reason why Madam urges him to sleep is because he doesn't want to listen to him talking and asking more questions-this can't be his illusion, right?

Wu Shizi lay on the bed after washing up, touched his stomach which only contained a few glasses of wine and a few mouthfuls of food, and couldn't help feeling a little wronged.

At this time, Mrs. Xu, who had changed her coat, came in.

Seeing his wife coming, Wu Shizi consciously moved to the side.

Xu lay down on the outside, reached out and took out the sachet that was originally placed under the pillow on the inside, and put it under her own pillow.

"Ma'am, where did this sachet come from?" Wu Shizi asked without words.

In the past, he only thought that his status was unbearable under Tianjiao, but now it seems that the room for his status to decline seems to be unbelievably large.

I can't go on like this anymore, I have to save my wife's heart.

"A little girl gave it to me today. She said it can help sleep."

"Little girl?" Wu Shizi couldn't help laughing, shook his head helplessly, and said, "These little girls are all focused on these useless things... It's just a sachet, so it's better than soup ?”

Of course, there is one more thing he didn't say - Madam also believes this?

But after all, he is still very vigilant now, knowing what to say and what not to say.

Listening to her husband's disappointing words, Xu closed her eyes unbearably.

"Why doesn't Madam speak?"

After waiting for a long time for his wife to answer, Wu Shizi called out.

Xu: ... Before asking her why she didn't speak, can you first recall what you said, is it human-readable?

"Madam fell asleep so soon?"

Wu Shizi turned his head and glanced at his wife, and said curiously: "...Could it be that this sachet is really useful?"

Xu, who was pretending to sleep, clenched her hands under the quilt: ... Even if she really fell asleep, she would be woken up by him at this time!

Why was she so superficial at the beginning, thinking that he had a good family background and good looks, so she felt that she had taken a huge advantage and married such a person willingly?

At this moment, the husband's murmur to himself sounded again: "Madam, go to sleep... It's hard not to recognize the bed this time, let's have a good sleep..."

Following this low voice, Wu Shizi tucked up the quilt for his wife.

In the darkness, Xu's slightly raised eyebrows gradually relaxed a little, but she really fell asleep very quickly.

...

Early the next morning, we entered the main topic of this spring hunting.

In front of Quanhe Mountain, which was used as the hunting ground for this time, the officials and children from various prefectures who were preparing to participate in the hunting all changed into riding clothes, and behind them were prepared horses and longbows.

The female relatives accompanied Empress Wu to sit and talk behind the low table filled with fruits and vegetables, while many wives quietly looked at the sons and daughters of various houses through the half-drawn bamboo curtain in front of them.

Some are looking at their own sons, but if there are unmarried daughters of the right age in the family, the scope of sight is much wider.

Some girls who are bolder can't help casting their gazes at this time.

Anyway, it was Chunshou, and on such an occasion, no one could say anything even if they looked at him openly.

But after looking at it, they gradually saw the problem.

The girl from the Minister of Rites is an example——

Cui's most frequent card friend, Mrs. Wen, the wife of Minister of Rites, quietly pinched her own daughter.

Where is this girl looking?

Didn't you tell me when you came here that you want her to pay more attention to the son of the Qian family?

Sensing the meaning in her mother's eyes, the little girl looked embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Mother, among the two young masters at the front, the one wearing crow blue...is it from which family?"

The sky is a lesson, she also wanted to see Mr. Qian's family according to the arrangement of the family, but she saw him from the very beginning, and she felt as if she was dazzled. There is only one feeling—is this also for people to see?

Although it is really wrong to think so, but... this feeling from the heart is completely out of control!

Thank you for your birthday wishes, I am very happy~ (Because of this reason, the last leave note was reluctant to delete)
