Chapter 131 Touched
Qiqi stopped shopping and walked back hand in hand with her nanny. "Master, thank you. Let's go back quickly. You haven't had a good meal these days. I'll ask the shopkeeper to make you a big meal." Qiqi had just finished speaking when the secret guard cleverly ran towards Fuxiangju.
The master and the nurse both laughed out loud. "Qiqi, your secret guard is really smart. He went there without your instructions. Why don't I have such people around me?" Yun Jizi said enviously.
"Brother Yunlong, you are getting old and confused. Look at Qiqi. She guessed that we didn't eat well these days even though we didn't say we were hungry. Our Qiqi is smarter than anyone else! Having Qiqi is enough for us." said the master's wife.
"Yunfang, you are right. I don't know how to appreciate what I have! I am indeed old. Yunfang will depend on you from now on." The old couple even joked.
Qiqi was very pleased to see the interaction between her master and his wife.
They take care of each other and have companionship in old age, how wonderful it is. I wish my brother Jingze and I could be like them when we grow old.
Soon they returned to Fuxiangju. Yunjizi was greeted outside by the shopkeeper. He greeted the prince and Qiqi first, then took Yunjizi's hand.
"Brother, you're back. This is my sister-in-law, come in, the food is ready upstairs."
The shopkeeper walked in front to lead the way, led them to the private room, poured them some tea and left.
"Brother Yunlong, how come the shopkeeper is so familiar with you? Like an old friend."
"Master, Madam, you guys can eat and talk at the same time, don't starve. Come, Master, Madam, have some soup first." Zhou Jingze was quick to serve a bowl of soup to Master and Madam.
Qiqi looked at him and laughed. "Brother Jingze, you are taking my job away now."
"Qiqi, you are pregnant, so let me do all this." Zhou Jingze said.
"You two sit down, Master's Wife can take care of it. Thank you Jingze." Master's Wife said.
The master and his wife were very pleased. Who would believe it if they told others that the prince served them soup?
Qiqi also picked up her chopsticks and symbolically ate with her master and mistress. She recounted every detail of their journey. The mistress also told them about the new things she encountered along the way.
From time to time, cheerful laughter could be heard from the private room, which then spread to the guests downstairs, who were enjoying their meals.
Yun Jizi told his wife about their efforts to combat the flood. He recounted everything in detail. His wife was stunned. They were saving lives in dangerous situations; it was something they could do. They were kind people, willing to sacrifice everything for their country and their people.
The Master's Wife said with emotion, "Having you in the Great Zhou is a blessing for the people of the Great Zhou. It is also a blessing for the Emperor of the Great Zhou."
"Master's wife, this is what we should do. You forgot that I am the princess of the Great Zhou and also the Crown Princess. Brother Jingze is the Crown Prince and he should do this even more. Even for Master, he is making a contribution for us." Qiqi said mischievously.
The atmosphere immediately became lively. "Come here, Master and Master's Wife, have some soup." Qiqi said as she ate the hawthorn cake brought by her wet nurse.
"Qiqi, hawthorn cake is an appetizer, but you should eat it in moderation. Eating too much will irritate your stomach." The master's wife warned.
"Okay, Master's Wife, I will stop eating after I finish this piece. I will save it for tomorrow. You are not allowed to eat it secretly." Qiqi joked.
"You little girl, seeing how petty you are, your master can't have a piece of it." Yun Jizi said with a smile.
"Master, come here, I'll give you a piece. I knew you were just talking and you couldn't bear to eat what I like."
When Qiqi was little, Yunjizi wanted to get her to eat more, so he threatened her that if she didn't eat, her master would eat it all, and she would have nothing to eat in the future. Qiqi then obediently ate all the food.
Qiqi had been traveling with Yunjizi since she was three years old, and it was Yunjizi who went to great lengths to ensure she had food to eat. Zhou Jingze also contributed to this. He also helped his master take care of Qiqi. He was six years older than Qiqi, and at nine, he did everything himself, often dressing and feeding her.
The relationship between the three of them is like that of family. Qiqi even treats her master closer than her parents. She can go a year without seeing her parents, but not without seeing her master.
The same thing happened with Yun Jizi. He felt uncomfortable when he couldn't see Qiqi. He kept the best things for Qiqi. Zhou Jingze wouldn't even take them. Yun Jizi was partial to Qiqi, but Zhou Jingze didn't get angry. He even kept his own good things for Qiqi, let alone his master!
The shopkeeper came upstairs to report that the room was ready for Yunjizi and he could go and rest. They then realized that they had forgotten the time while chatting and it was already very late.
Yun Jizi thanked the shopkeeper, who then went downstairs to rest.
"Master, Master's Wife, you haven't had a good rest along the way. I will pull you into the space, take a bath and rest."
"Okay, our Qiqi is the most thoughtful one." Yun Jizi said.
After a peaceful night, they harnessed their carriage and drove away under the reluctant gaze of the innkeeper and the servant.
Yun Jizi and Zhou Jingze rode on their horses. Qiqi and her master's wife sat in the carriage, chatting about family matters. Her master's wife was also busy making clothes for Qiqi's baby. The material was all soft and delicate cotton, purchased by her master's wife when she passed through larger towns.
Qiqi's eyes filled with tears of emotion, but she turned back and quietly wiped them away. She was deeply moved. Master and his wife were silently giving for her.
The master's wife talked to Qiqi about how to make small clothes with these materials, which ones to make pants, and what styles would look good. She would make clothes for the baby girl first, and then for the baby boy.
Qiqi watched her master's wife drawing patterns on the purchased material, and she thought of modern and comfortable clothes.
Qiqi quickly drew a set of children's clothes and gave it to the master's wife. When the master's wife saw it, she thought, isn't this the same style as the pajamas she wears?
Only then did the master's wife know that such a comfortable pajamas was made by Qiqi, and her heart instantly warmed. What a happy thing it is to be loved by others.
The nurse didn't ask any more questions, just knowing what she was doing was enough. She started cutting the clothes according to the pattern Qiqi had given her. In one morning, a small dress was ready. The nurse happily showed it to Qiqi.
Qiqi took it. The nanny's sewing skills were really first-rate. She fell in love with the little clothes. She touched her belly and said, "Baby, this is what Master's wife made for you. We all love you. You must grow up well. Master's wife is making beautiful clothes for you. Look, this is the fabric Master's wife bought for you. It looks beautiful, doesn't it?"
Qiqi even laughed. What was wrong with her? She'd never been so talkative before. Ever since she got pregnant, her patience had improved, and her temper hadn't gotten any worse. It was all thanks to her two little babies.
