Chapter 495 Happy Birthday
Ming Xi watched him drink the medicine, and then sat down next to him, "By the way, I have asked Aunt Liu to use up the silver ticket."

The banknote that Yue Lisu carried with him was taken out from the bank of the Imperial Capital, and it had a unique logo on it, which was also convenient for Ying Shiyi and the others to find it faster.

Yue Li Su gave a soft "hmm" and lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

He raised his head suddenly, "How is your leg injury?"

Ming Xi froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said out, "It's better, normal walking is still not a problem."

After being injured for a hundred days, the wound on her calf was a bit deep. Although it had started to scab, it still hurt a little when she walked, but she didn't want the other party to worry, so she told a little lie.

He didn't say anything, but his dark eyes seemed to be able to read people's hearts, Ming Xi felt a little guilty.

Thinking that Yue Lisu couldn't see her wound, so she probably didn't know the condition of her injury, so she forced herself to straighten up calmly, and said in a very serious tone, "Really, I don't know about my own injury yet?" ?”

Yue Li Su's lips loosened, and he looked away.

This topic is left behind for now.

-

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are very busy, busy with making a living.

Mingxi thought about living in someone else's house, so it's not good to do nothing, and she is busy doing some light work when she is free. After Aunt Liu refused several times, she still went her own way, and even took "it is good for the wound to heal as soon as possible." "As an excuse, she simply let her go.

Ming Xi took over the job of cooking, she could cook, but she didn't touch it much when she got here, and now it's just because of Yue Li Su's poor appetite that she is going back to her old job.

This person has always been very picky, even the imperial dining room in the palace may not satisfy him all the time, so making the imperial dining room can be said to be over his head.

Aunt Liu's cooking skills are not bad, but people who are used to thrift will naturally not be so refined when it comes to food.

Yue Li Su didn't say much, but he didn't use much each time.

You are in the recovery stage, how can you make up if you don't eat more?Ming Xi saw it, so she planned to cook by herself, and after discussing with Aunt Liu, the other party readily agreed.

Naturally, her cooking skills can't be compared with the chefs in the palace, but there are many tricks, and she can make different tastes with simple food.

She was willing to spend money on it, and she was willing to work hard. I don't know if Yue Lisu gave her face or something, but the first time he cooked, he added two extra bowls of rice.

Yue Lisu didn't like to eat with others, so they and Aunt Liu's family ate separately. After eating slowly, he raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "You made it?"

He didn't know that she still had this level.

The corners of Ming Xi's lips curled up slightly, and instead of answering, she asked, "How does it taste?"

After pondering for a moment, he nodded, "It's okay."

Ming Xi was not angry either, it was already very difficult to get him to say "OK", she joked with a half-smile.

"Thank you Your Majesty for saving face."

There seemed to be joy in his eyes, but his tone was very reserved, "If you are tired, don't force yourself."

On weekdays, he wouldn't be very happy for her to get involved in these trivial matters, otherwise, what would the royal chef who paid a lot of money do to eat?But I have to admit that she is willing to take care of herself, which is really a joyful thing.

Ming Xi sees it through but doesn't say it, she purses her lips and stares at him with a smile, "Didn't I want you to eat more?"

As she said that, she raised her hand to touch his cheek very naturally. She felt that the touch was good and couldn't help pinching it, with a regretful tone, "Look at our Majesty, but he has lost so much weight in a few days..."

Facing her frivolity, Yue Li Su's ears turned red, and he reprimanded, "Nonsense."

But he didn't mention not letting her cook.

Ming Xi was amused in her heart, but her words were duplicity.

-

One day, the two were having lunch when they suddenly heard a noise outside.

The two stopped their chopsticks at the same time.

Aunt Liu in the main room said "I'll go and have a look", and hurried out the door.

Ming Xi frowned, and didn't have the mood to move her chopsticks anymore. She patted Yue Li Su's hand, then stood up and walked to the window, quietly opened a corner of the window, the field of view was limited, and she couldn't see completely.

Yue Li Su didn't know when he came behind her, he listened to her for a while, it was a little noisy, he couldn't hear clearly, so he asked Ming Xi.

"See what?"

Ming Xi stared with her eyebrows fixed, her fingertips touching the window lattice turned white unconsciously, she whispered, "I saw two officials."

Yue Li Su's eyes turned cold.

This is the boundary of Yuzhou, and it is not reassuring for the officials to appear here, not to mention that the two are still wanted.

A dazzling cold light flashed in front of his eyes, Ming Xi was startled, and quickly held down his hand, "Don't! Don't act in a hurry!"

He looked at her puzzled, but put the things back. Ming Xi observed for a while, her eyes thoughtful, "It doesn't look like they are coming for us, let's wait for Aunt Liu to come back."

What she said was true, the official was surrounded by many people, and he had no intention of walking towards the yard, as if he was here to arrest them.

After a while, the people were almost gone, and Aunt Liu came back.

Ming Xi came out of the house and saw a worried look in her eyes, and her eyes flickered, "Aunt Liu, what's the matter? I seem to have seen an official come to the village just now?"

Yue Li Su followed behind her, silent, but it was hard to ignore his existence.

Aunt Liu bit her lip and struggled for a moment, let Tie Zhu go back to the house to do homework, looked at the empty yard, then lowered her voice and said, "Just now the official said that every household with a daughter should register. They said they wanted to choose a flower fairy to celebrate the birthday of Empress Nuwa."

Ming Xi frowned slightly, "Flower Fairy? Birthday? Is this a custom in your village?"

Aunt Liu frowned and was also a little puzzled, "In the past, there was also a birthday celebration for Empress Nuwa, but I have never heard of any flower pickers! Let alone picking people from the village! I don't know what happened this year, suddenly Come on like this, and it’s even down to the date of birth..."

Ming Xi glanced behind her subconsciously, and saw Yue Li Su's lips were slightly cold, and she immediately realized, "Why does Aunt Liu look unhappy? Was she selected? Is it something to celebrate?"

Most rural people are superstitious, and they have a devotion that others cannot understand about this kind of thing.

Aunt Liu sighed, sat down on the chair, covered her chest with a sad face, "I don't know why, but I just feel a little uncomfortable. Speaking of which, I don't have a baby girl at home, so I don't have to worry about it, but I feel a little flustered for no reason." , I always feel that something bad is going to happen..." She stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and pouted on the ground twice, "Bah, bah, look at my mouth! What are you talking about that is unlucky?! "

Ming Xi bent her lips, and her heart moved slightly, "Does Aunt Liu know that there are girls missing in Yuzhou City recently?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Liu's eyes suddenly widened.
