Chapter 983 Girly Feelings
Although Li Tai also has a residence in Chang'an City, his status is different now. He often needs a large number of attendants to protect him when he comes in and out. The original residence inevitably seems a bit crowded and narrow.
The city of Chang'an was already messy and cramped, and he didn't want to disturb the residents' lives in the city, so after his family returned, he simply arranged it in a school outside the city.
It was already late at night when he left the imperial city, and it was already late at night when he arrived at the academy. Except for Naozuku's guards, everyone in his family had already fallen asleep. And he didn't want to disturb his relatives' rest anymore, so he ordered his servants to simply clean up a study room before going to sleep on the couch.
But at this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from another attic in the inner palace. Li Tai had already undressed and got on the bed. Hearing his son's cry, he put on another robe and walked into the small building through the corridor.
At this moment, several maids and maids in the room were focused on the boy who was crying all night, and did not notice Li Tai's arrival. Li Tai walked through the screen into the inner room and saw all the servants and maids surrounding the bed. Two maids were holding gauze lamps with soft light. In the center where the light met, there was a graceful and graceful woman hugging her. The child is still crying.
"Young man didn't eat much milk in the evening. Are you hungry now that you've been up late at night?"
A nanny next to her whispered that the woman hugging Xiao Lang was not Miao Yin, but Madam Yao. After hearing this, she shook her head, put her cheek against Xiao Lang's forehead for a moment, and then said softly: "Xiao Lang should be If you suffer from wind-heat, mix ginger powder with jujube slices and apply hot water to the wind pool on the back of your neck."
After hearing the words, the maid hurriedly turned around to prepare these items. Then she noticed Li Tai standing inside the screen. She was startled and hurriedly leaned over and said: "Greetings, meet the king..."
These maids were all newly arrived from Shannan and had not yet gotten used to Li Tai's change in official title, so they still used their old names. As the maid hurriedly bowed, everyone else in the room also stood up, including Lady Yao, who was still holding Xiao Lang in her arms, and she was a little embarrassed to bow.
"Hurry up and prepare your supplies. You are all exempt from the gift."
Li Tailue waved his hand and walked forward. Just as he raised his hand to take the crying son from Madam Yao, he was kicked by this kid on the wrist, making him cry even harder. After seeing this, he could only Neng Sansan retracted his hand and turned to Mrs. Yao and said, "This kid has been making trouble at night recently? It's really hard on Mrs. Yao!"
"The climate in Guanzhong is different from that of Xiangyang. Adults will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they first move there. Young boys are immature and will inevitably suffer from spleen and stomach disorders and cold and heat diseases."
Lady Yao gently stroked Xiao Lang's back to comfort her, lowered her head and replied softly. Then she raised her eyes and glanced at Li Tai, then continued in a low voice: "But please don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiao Lang has always been strong and lively. A few minor illnesses won't hurt the fundamentals, and you will definitely become stronger after recovery. The princess is inconvenient during pregnancy, so I have to take care of you here, so I will take good care of you, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Little things are making noise at night, disturbing so many people and preventing them from sleeping peacefully. Since it's not a serious problem, you can just retreat and rest."
The space under the curtain was not big, so Li Tai looked at his son and stood quite close to Madam Yao. And this lady was probably awakened by her child's cry in her sleep, so she had no time to dress neatly. The little thing in her arms was moving around with her hands and feet, which inevitably caused the scenery in front of her to be exposed and the faint fragrance to float. Li Tai looked away in embarrassment, waved his hand to retreat to the crowd standing under the curtain, and also stepped aside.
Madam Yao was half-focused on Xiao Lang at the moment, and felt slightly embarrassed by Li Tai's arrival. She didn't realize anything else was wrong. When she heard what Li Tai said, she also said: "Since your Majesty has given the order, please Madam, please go and rest, I will take care of you here."
After the servants and wives left, there was no other sound in the room except Xiao Lang's intermittent crying. Sitting under the lamp, Li Tai couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he coughed twice and asked if he had anything to say. He then asked, "Now that Madam Yao has entered Guanzhong, will General Yao and others come with her?"
"There are still many medical books and classics in Xiangyang that need to be compiled, and my father and colleagues have not yet entered the country."
Seeing that Xiao Lang's crying had stopped, Mrs. Yao carefully placed him on the bed. She then turned around and answered Li Tai's questions softly. She also said with a grateful face: "A few days ago, my father sent a message telling him that My brother has already visited the Southern Kingdom and is traveling north with the Southern Kingdom’s envoys. He will be able to enter the capital in a few days. Your Majesty is so busy with military affairs and can be so considerate of his subordinates and family affairs. My father, my brother, and my concubine are all very grateful!"
After hearing this, Li Tai remembered that last year, because Mrs. Yao rescued his father in time, he had heard his wife say that Mrs. Yao and her family were living in the Southern Dynasties, so he asked the government officials to help find him.
After that, he became busy with the Eastern Expedition of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and did not continue to pay attention to this matter. At this time, I heard Mrs. Yao say that her family had been found and would go north to reunite. She was very happy for her, so she said with a smile: "General Yao has superb medical skills and has countless survivors. Mrs. Yao is also kind-hearted and kind to others. A family of good deeds must be blessed so that the relatives can survive the disaster and reunite safely. I just told the government officials that I really don’t dare to express my gratitude like this.”
While talking, the maid who had left to prepare things hurried back. Madam Yao took the warm jujube slices and applied it to the back of the child's neck, and rubbed it gently with her fingertips. Strangely enough, the boy who was still grinning and howling at first became weaker in his cries after receiving this ironing, and turned into a wrinkled nose and humming.
Seeing this, Li Tai felt that it was strange, so he came closer to see how the lady applied the treatment. Seeing the way the boy rubbed his head, he couldn't help but try it himself.
"The Wind Pond after Xiang is a place of heat for people. Any wind-cold body heat is dissipated from here..."
Mrs. Yao turned sideways and gave up her position to Li Tai. Then she explained the medical theory on one side and reached out to help Li Tai find the acupoints on the back of the child's neck. It was inevitable that their fingers and palms would touch each other.
The lady's bare hands trembled, and she subconsciously shrank back. Under the soft light of the gauze lamp, her face suddenly became as bright as a peach blossom. Her eyes turned to look timidly at the handsome side face that was so close at hand, and she suddenly couldn't even breathe. Added a bit of moist heat.
Seeing that Li Tai was just stroking and ironing the delicate skin on the back of her son's neck with a focused expression, and did not notice anything strange about herself. The woman looked half shy and half disappointed, turning her face slightly to the side, taking a few breaths, and waited until she was in the mood. After calming down a little, he said softly: "It will take a few moments to iron. Your Majesty is already tired when you return to the palace, so please go and rest first."
Li Tai saw that his son seemed to be feeling comfortable now and was looking at him with a silly smile, so he smiled again and said: "I don't see this little thing often. Even though we are close relatives, it is inevitable that we will become unfamiliar. Let's take this opportunity to have a blind date for a while. "
After seeing this, Mrs. Yao said no more, and retreated to one side to guard the pottery stove and steamer, continuing to iron the jujube slices, and estimated the time to replace the old ones.
After several times of ironing, Xiao Lang was sweating faintly on his forehead and yawned and fell asleep sweetly. This yawn was also very contagious. Li Tai was already a little tired, so when he heard his son's yawn, he felt sleepy. He snuggled up on the bed and fell asleep.
"Ms. Yao, Your Majesty, this..."
When the maid saw Li Tai sleeping here, she came forward and asked in a low voice. Madam Yao put her fingers to her lips to make a silent sound. She gently stepped forward and lowered the curtain. When she saw that Li Tai showed no sign of waking up, she asked her in a low voice. He then asked someone to fetch a quilt and gently cover Li Tai's body, and put the young man who was also sleeping soundly into the bed. Then he and his maids exited the dormitory, asking the maids to retreat and rest, while he stayed outside. .
As the door opened and closed, a breeze blew into the room. Madam Yao only felt a chill in her front. She lowered her head and looked at her chest. Her cheeks suddenly flew away and she hurriedly raised her hands to cover them. Her face also lost its usual warmth. Wan Tianran, could it be that she has become shy?
In the quiet night, no matter how many girls are thinking, they are just silent. Mrs. Yao is sitting next to the lamp in the room, shyly twisting her fingers together, her knuckles are faintly white, there are thousands of thoughts in her mind, and she is murmuring when she is lost in thought. He whispered: "Your Majesty is a gentleman..."
The unintentional gaffe made the lady worry about whether the king would misunderstand her for being frivolous, and other more messy thoughts kept popping up in the lady's mind, including some of the secret conversations between the princess and her, which made the lady even more worried. The lady's heart was in turmoil.
The maid's gentle snoring could be heard in the side compartment. For fear of disturbing others' sleep, Madam Yao blew out a few candles, held up only a gauze lantern and went back into the room to take a careful look. She saw that both father and son were sleeping. He quietly exited when he was just ripe.
Seeing that the king's belt had fallen beside the bed, Mrs. Yao bent over to pick it up. She was about to put it on the hanger aside, but she clenched it in her hand by some strange coincidence. She bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, a look of struggle in her eyes. After a few breaths, she tightly held the belt to her chest. She looked back at Li Tai, who was lying beside him on the couch, with affection in her bright eyes. For a moment, it was even brighter than the gauze lantern in my hand.
At dawn, Madam Miaoyin, who was already quite pregnant, came to her son's bedroom as soon as she got up. First she saw Madam Yao sleeping at her desk outside, and she signaled her maids to move more slowly.
She went to the front to wake up the lady, but she saw that the belt of the lady's neck looked familiar. After carefully identifying it, her face showed surprise at first, and then her eyes looked a little complicated. After a few breaths of silence, she gradually became calm. She raised her head She turned away the other maids with her hand, entered the inner room, grabbed the husband's robe from the hanger, walked out and put it on Madam Yao who was still sleeping at her desk, then returned to the inner room, and probed into the husband's arms behind the curtain. .
Li Tai was suddenly awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's face, which was slightly prosperous due to her pregnancy, but was still happy and angry. He laughed softly and scolded: "Come here early in the morning to make fun!"
Just as he stretched out his arms to hug the lady, Miaoyin came forward and bit him on the neck, rubbing her teeth fiercely. In the end, she failed to bite firmly, and instead slapped the woman next to him who had woken up and was lying down. The son, who was staring curiously at the strange behavior of his parents, said angrily: "With this little thing, my husband won't even see me right away when he comes back!"
