Chapter 291 Afraid of Disappointment

Sending off Xiao Qinglan with a complicated expression, Chu Liangrao got into the carriage back home, and when she got into the carriage, Mama Du couldn't help but said: "Princess, how can you meet guests in the princess mansion? I see, wouldn't I blame you for taking the place out of the way?"

"How can the princess be as stingy as you said?" Chu Liangrao moved his body, leaned on Du's mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, let me sleep for a while."

"Okay." Raising her hand to support Chu Liangrao, Mama Du patted her and said as if coaxing a child, "It's easy to get sleepy on such a day, the Princess can just sleep next to her, and I'll call you when I get back to the mansion. "

"Yeah." Chu Liangrao responded lightly, and then closed his eyes.

As soon as the eyes were closed, the sounds heard by the ears were exceptionally clear. The sound of wheels rolling over the bluestone road and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground gradually woke up Chu Liangrao, who was still somewhat sleepy.

At this moment, recalling the conversation in the morning, Chu Liangrao was still a little thankful. In the final analysis, the conflict between the princess and Xiao Qinglan was due to his poem.If it were someone else, she might blame herself, but Yin Hua didn't. From this, it can be seen that she really regards herself as a friend.

At this point, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, fortunately the former master was not helpless, at least he left such a good relationship.

For Yu Chu Liangrao, being able to make friends with Princess Yin Hua was really a rare and good thing.

In this strange age, she has relatives, friends, and even a lover who holds hands.

Thinking of this, Chu Liangrao's heart warmed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Realizing this, Ding Xiang suppressed her voice and said: "Look, Mom, the princess is smiling, it must be some kind of sweet dream."

Gently stroking the top of Chu Liangrao's hair, Mother Du smiled and said softly, "Yes."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao almost burst out laughing, but still held back.

After returning to the mansion, Mother Du woke up Chu Liangrao who was pretending to be asleep, and said, "Princess Princess, we have arrived, let's go back to sleep."

Although the road was not bumpy, Chu Liangrao still felt a little sore, presumably because he had maintained a certain posture. She stretched her arms and said, "Don't sleep anymore, let the accountant take the account book." come on."

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was going to do something again, Mother Du said: "Princess, it's okay to watch it once a month, there's no need to watch it every day."

"I can't find anything to do anyway, so it's nothing to look at." Chu Liangrao said.

She looks at the account book every day, not because she doesn't trust the accountant, on the contrary, she wants to see what needs to be improved through the daily expenditure. problem.

After reading the account book, Chu Liangrao circled it with a pen, and asked, "It's been cold for the past two days, why is there less carbon burned?"

The accountant replied: "If you want to go back to the princess, you have agreed with the delivery person before, and you will only deliver it once a month. This time, this sum of carbon was agreed to be given to the Xia family last time, but now the Xia family is gone. , and left the carbon in the mansion."

Chu Liangrao understood, nodded and said, "You are careful."

The accountant smiled, but did not boast.

Chu Liangrao is very satisfied with his calm temperament. I have to say that Huo Tainan has a very good eye for people, and the servants in the mansion are very capable. She hardly needs to bother to take care of it every day. excellent.

After reading the account book, Chu Liangrao said again: "It's the time when the weather is cold, let the kitchen prepare another meal at night, it's best to make some hot soup, so that the maids don't just have to cook by the fire when they're hungry. For this expenditure, you Look at the call to the kitchen."

Seeing that Chu Liangrao mentioned the areas for improvement, the accountant nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry, the small ones will be done well."

Putting down the ledger, Chu Liangrao took a sip of the hot water and tasted the slightest sweetness. She asked Mama Du, "But rock sugar was added?"

"I just added a little bit, I don't want you to taste it, princess." Mother Du said with a smile, "Seeing that the princess drinks plain water on weekdays, I added a little bit of rock sugar in it because I was afraid that your mouth would be dull."

"It took you a lot of time, it's delicious." Chu Liangrao said approvingly, and took another sip.

"Will you add more after that?" Mother Du asked.

"Add it every two days." Chu Liangrao said.

With that in mind, Mama Du went to the pantry to give orders, and then went to the kitchen to see how the lunch preparations were going.After talking a few words with Ma Si's family, Zhou's mother went back to the room to serve Chu Liangrao.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was sitting at the table again waving a pen, Madam Du couldn't help thinking, her princess is both talented and knowledgeable, whoever marries is really lucky.

Now that the county horse master has made military exploits again, he must be able to live in a big mansion in the future, and his life will be better and better by then.

Full of hope in her heart, Mama Du smiled.

Grinding Lilac saw it and asked, "What are you laughing at, Mom?"

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao also raised his head and said, "Mom, did you see something happy?"

"It's a joy to be able to serve the princess." Mother Du said sincerely, "Mom thinks that when the county master comes back, life will get better, and I'm very happy."

"Mom, didn't you say that things are still undecided, why are you enjoying yourself again?" Chu Liangrao said.

Mama Du said: "Princess, the ability of the county master is obvious to all. Isn't it destined to serve the Duke and become a noble?"

"Mom, what you said is correct, but if this decree lasts for a day, it is not destined. You have to remember, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

After hearing this, Mother Du was puzzled. She was looking forward to the well-being of her own county matriarch, but why is the princess always worried?
Chu Liangrao simply stopped talking and buried his head to continue practicing calligraphy.

After writing several sheets of paper in succession, Chu Liangrao put down the pen without further ado.

Ding Xiang stepped forward to take a look, and said with admiration: "The princess's cursive script has also been well practiced."

Picking up the paper with dried ink, Chu Liangrao said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Mr. Zhu's specially selected copybook."

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "If the princess wasn't so smart, how could she be able to practice so quickly?"

"That's true." Chu Liangrao nodded in satisfaction, with a very mischievous expression on his face.

Mother Du was amused when she saw it, and said: "The princess can set meals after washing her hands."

"En." Standing up and dipping his hands in the basin, Chu Liangrao said, "Let someone go to the princess' mansion to see if the princess is awake."

After lunch, the people who went out also came back, and said to Chu Liangrao: "The princess is already up, and the little one was eating when he went. The princess said thank you for the princess's concern, and said that you should also pay attention to your health." .”

"It's good to know how to eat." Chu Liangrao said.

After a short rest, Madam Du came to send word again, saying that Ding Er was here.

Thinking of how hard it is for Ding Er to travel outside these days, Chu Liangrao specially asked Ding Xiang to prepare a reward, and then called him into the conversation.Because Chu Liangrao was not wearing a coat indoors, Chu Liangrao's belly was particularly obvious.

Seeing Chu Liangrao who had gained weight obviously, Ding Er, who was already smiling, froze for a moment.

This time it was obvious, Chu Liangrao said, "But you think I'm fat?"

With a hint of embarrassment on his face, Ding Er said: "The princess looks good like this, it's good..." As he spoke, he touched his neck uncomfortably.

This action betrayed him, obviously, he just felt that he was fat.

Chu Liangrao shook his head helplessly, who told him that he has a small baby in his stomach now, how can he not be fat?Fortunately, she was still in control, and did not grow horizontally indulgently, because she was afraid that after Huo Tainan returned from the battlefield, she would see herself as before, and now seeing Ding Er's reaction, she hesitated again.

After all, my stomach will still be big, won't I be fatter in the future?

Then what should Huo Tainan think of her...

Thinking of this, Chu Liangrao felt that she was really a hard-working mother-to-be, and she wanted the baby to be healthy, but also wanted not to gain weight, it was really a dilemma.At the same time, she couldn't help worrying, what if she couldn't recover after giving birth?
Chu Liangrao was distracted, so he didn't speak for a while, Ding Er was in a fog, so he could only wink at Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang yelled softly, and said, "Princess Princess, do you have anything to tell Ding Er?"

After recovering, Chu Liangrao said, "It's been hard work for you these days."

"What did the princess say, it's a small thing for the princess to do." Ding Er seemed to have expected what Chu Liangrao would say, he hid aside and said, "Princess, please don't Rewarding the little ones, if the prince finds out, it will only blame the little ones for not being able to see."

Chu Liangrao couldn't help being speechless, no matter how troublesome her father was, she probably wouldn't say such a thing, she pretended to be serious and said, "Could it be, do you think that the princess can't even give out this reward?"

"Small doesn't mean that..." Ding Er said with some embarrassment, "Really not."

"It's yours, take it." After Chu Liangrao said, Ding Xiang took out the reward and handed it to Ding Erdao, "You can take it, this is also the princess' sympathy for you."

After receiving the reward, Ding Er silently nodded, not knowing what to say.

In fact, those words were indeed said by the prince, and he didn't mention them casually as a perfunctory excuse.

But now that Chu Liangrao's words are all about this, it would be bad if he doesn't answer, but he wants to talk, the prince's end...

For the first time, Ding Er felt that money was so difficult to get.

After asking a few more questions, Chu Liangrao asked Ding Er to back down. She smiled and said to Ding Xiang, "It's the first time I've seen Ding Er look so bewildered. I didn't expect it to be interesting."

"That's right." Ding Xiang continued, "This is the first time I've seen him. I usually only see him laughing and joking. It's strange that I'm afraid of being rewarded."

Smiling and shaking his head, Chu Liangrao said, "Maybe it's my father's order."

"The princess, you still..."

"So what, I'm not the one being criticized anyway." Chu Liangrao blinked, looking gloating.

Seeing Chu Liangrao's expression, Ding Xiang couldn't help but feel ashamed, why is the princess getting more and more dishonest now that she has a big belly?Is it really okay to be so naughty?
