The hot spring water was steaming, and the aroma of tea permeated every corner of the house.
Ning Jing did not understand what Tang Li was trying to do.
"You can't soak in the hot spring, so I'll get you a basin to soak your feet," Tang Li explained.
"How do you know that I can't soak in the hot spring?" Ning Jing asked.
"I've calculated. It's inconvenient for you to soak in these two days. Am I right? "Tang Li asked with a smile.
"You're wrong." Ning Jing rolled her eyes at him. "It's more than ten days off. How did you calculate it?"
"Impossible! It's before and after the first day of Chinese New Year. It's always been like this before. Unless the postpartum days have changed! "Tang Li was very certain.
Ning Jing narrowed her eyes. "Before? Haha, you've really put a lot of thought into this! "
Tang Li realized that he had fallen into Ning Jing's trap this time. For a few days before and after the first day of Chinese New Year, he was very conscious that he would not bully Ning Jing. When he calculated the dates back then, his motives were indeed impure.
"Hehe, I've put a lot of thought into this now. Jing Jing, come, your husband will help you soak your feet. "
Tang Li lifted Ning Jing's feet and helped her take off her shoes and socks. Ning Jing laid down lazily and put her other foot on his shoulder, allowing Tang Li to serve her.
After her shoes and socks were taken off, Tang Li was afraid that she would be too cold and wanted to warm her up. Ning Jing did not let him and stretched her jade foot on Tang Li's face to tease him.
Tang Li allowed her to tease him. He was not angry at all, nor did he dislike it.
However, after a while, he grabbed Ning Jing's jade foot and bit her thumb. It looked like he bit hard, but it did not hurt at all.
Ning Jing immediately kicked him away and complained unhappily, "Don't you think it's dirty?"
"I don't." Tang Li chuckled.
"I do!" Ning Jing said angrily.
Tang Li pretended to sigh. "Alright, I'll help you clean it up."
He really pulled her feet to soak in the spring water. If it was any other time, Ning Jing would definitely let him serve her without any qualms. However, today was not the day.
Ning Jing quickly retracted her foot and said seriously, "You can't soak your feet when it's inconvenient!"
"Why?" Tang Li asked in confusion.
Ning Jing asked, "No means no. You're a man. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Only then did Tang Li give up and sit next to Ning Jing. However, just as he was about to lie down, Ning Jing pushed him away. "I'm going to sleep. Go soak yourself in the water and don't disturb me!"
"Tang Tang will be back soon. I'll lie down with you."
Tang Li insisted on lying down next to Ning Jing. However, Ning Jing refused to let him and pushed him away. "Don't disturb me. I want to rest for a while, okay?"
Seeing her unhappy look, Tang Li felt wronged and could only get up obediently.
"Get out!" Ning Jing urged.
Tang Li smiled helplessly and could only obediently go out.
After two hours, Ning Jing helped Tang Li get a towel and clothes and went out. She couldn't go into the water for a few days. If she didn't force him, Tang Li probably wouldn't go into the water either.
It was rare that little Tang Li wasn't around. Of course, as her father, Tang Li could relax a little.
When Ning Jing opened the door, she saw that the warm pool was empty.
Where was he?
Just as she was wondering, she saw Tang Li carrying a small casserole pot and walking in hurriedly with his head lowered.
He carried it carefully and didn't even notice that she was standing at the door.
Ning Jing's heart skipped a beat and her eyes became a little moist.
This scene was so familiar and so long since she last saw it. She didn't need to look to know that Tang Li was cooking her favorite red bean porridge in that small casserole pot.
In the past countless nights, she couldn't remember how many bowls of red bean porridge Tang Li had made for her. Every time, he would personally bring it to her like this. He was careful and anxious because it was too hot and his fingers couldn't stand it. He was also afraid that it would get cold if it stayed too long.
On cold nights, she liked hot food that was scalding.
When he got closer, Tang Li finally noticed that Ning Jing was standing at the door. He saw the thing in her hand and said with a smile, "Jing Jing, do you really want to peek at me bathing so much?"
Ning Jing rolled her eyes and turned to enter the door.
Tang Li carried the red bean porridge in and personally filled a bowl. He brought it to Ning Jing and said, "Are you hungry?"
Ning Jing was indeed hungry. However, when she saw that Tang Li had personally made the red bean porridge, she immediately regained her appetite.
Only Tang Li could make such a soft and fragrant red bean porridge.
Ning Jing chewed and swallowed slowly. Tang Li stood at the side and watched as usual.
If he truly liked someone, he didn't need to do anything. Just watching her eat would make him happy.
If he truly liked someone, he didn't need anything. As long as he personally made a bowl of porridge, he would be satisfied.
"Jing Jing, do you have any news about your brother?" Tang Li asked.
"No. With my brother's temper, if he wants to leave, no one can find him." Ning Jing knew Ning Cheng the best.
Tang Li hesitated and said, "Why did he give all his military merits to Jin Zi? Based on his contributions in Northern Li, my brother definitely won't treat him unfairly. Public is public, private is private. "
Ning Jing raised her head this time and said seriously, "Tang Li, my brother isn't someone who takes credit. He must have left because he felt that he was done with his work! If you have the chance, tell Long Fei Ye not to look for him anymore. "
Tang Li snorted, "Hmph, my brother won't look for him! He's too free! "
Ning Jing put down the spoon and threatened him Coldly, "I dare you to snort again!"
Tang Li shut his mouth and shook his head.
Ning Jing lowered her head to eat the porridge again. She was already full, but it had been too long since she tasted this, so she couldn't help but eat a few more mouthfuls.
Not long after, the palace maid personally carried Little Tang Tang over.
Little Tang Tang had actually fallen asleep. It was no wonder since it was already in the middle of the night. No matter how excited a child was, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Ning Jing wanted to pick her up, but Tang Li ran over first and carefully carried Little Tang Tang over.
Tang Li was amused, "Haha, it's good that she's asleep. Saves me the trouble of coaxing her."
Little Tang Tang returned to her parents' arms, but Little Rui 'er was still playing with Gu. Gu wasn't an ordinary person, and Little Rui 'er was even more so, so it wasn't strange that the two of them were still setting off fireworks in the manor in the middle of the night.
At this time, Granny Zhao had just arrived at the Narcissus Courtyard where Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were staying.
The Narcissus Courtyard was located in the center of No. 7 Teahouse. It was the largest courtyard in No. 7 Teahouse and got its name because it was filled with narcissus tea. Rather than calling it a courtyard, it was better to call it a tea pavilion.
There was a tea room hidden in the spacious courtyard. It looked very secluded, but it felt spacious inside the house.
There were two rooms in front and back of the tea room. The left and right walls were open, and there were two or three wooden steps connecting to the courtyard. There was a tea hot spring in the pavilion.
Inside the tea room, there was a straw mat on the floor. It was clean and simple, and green smoke rose in spirals from the burning incense.
Outside the tea room, steam rose from the hot spring amidst the white snow. The faint fragrance of tea filled the air, both sobering and intoxicating.
Such an environment was definitely tempting to those who loved tea.
Granny Zhao stopped outside the tea room and saw only the empress inside. She was sitting at a low table, lazily reading a book.
Her ink-black hair was casually held up with a jade hairpin. She had already changed out of her daytime clothes and was wrapped in a crescent-white robe. She sat there lazily, one hand supporting her head while the other flipped through a book. Her body was leaning against the side of the tea table.
The long sleeves on the hand supporting her head had long slipped down, revealing her pure white wrists. Her jade feet were half hidden under the robe, faintly discernible.
Black hair like a waterfall, white wrists like frost. The more Granny Zhao looked at such a back view, the more satisfied and happy she was.
For no particular reason, she was happy that His Highness was blessed.
Han Yunxi had long known that Granny Zhao was coming. Although she had brought many palace maids with her, she and Long Fei Ye were not used to having palace maids serving them.
Apart from the Shadow Guard standing guard outside the Narcissus Garden, there were no other servants in the entire Narcissus Garden.
At this time, the Shadow Guard would not dare to come over without permission. The only one who could come here was Granny Zhao.
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had been strolling in the tea garden for a long time. She had just finished washing up. She was so tired that she did not want to move. If not for the fact that Rui 'er had not returned, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
She was waiting for Granny Zhao to report something, but Granny Zhao did not speak for a long time.
Han Yunxi was helpless. She lazily turned back to look at Granny Zhao.
Granny Zhao hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, this old servant has urged many times, but the little master refuses to come back and insists on playing with Seventh Young Master. Seventh Young Master said that he will let the little master spend the night at his place and that you can sleep without worry. "
"He can't handle it." Han Yunxi said helplessly.
"This old servant has already told Seventh Young Master that the little master is not easy to serve at night, but Seventh Young Master said that he can do it." Granny Zhao was also helpless.
"Asking for trouble again!"
Han Yunxi was too lazy to persuade her. She waved her hand to dismiss Granny Zhao. "Then let him take care of the little master for one night."
Although Han Yunxi doted on her son, the way she doted on Rui 'er was completely different from how Tang Li doted on his daughter. She was not so careful with Rui' er and was very cruel most of the time.
After all, Rui 'er was a boy and would have to be independent in the future.
"Your Highness, don't worry. If Seventh Young Master can't coax him, this old servant will. "Granny Zhao said with a smile.
Han Yunxi nodded lazily. She was about to fall asleep.
However, Granny Zhao still did not leave. She looked around and asked, "Your Highness, is His Majesty … asleep?"
Long Fei Ye was in the side room dealing with two urgent letters from Northern Li. Han Yunxi was waiting for him to finish and go to bed.
"Is there anything else?" Han Yunxi asked.
Granny Zhao chuckled. "Your Highness, if His Highness is asleep, you should go and keep him company as soon as possible."
Han Yunxi immediately sensed that something was wrong. She turned back again and stared at Granny Zhao without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, Granny Zhao was not afraid. Instead, she smiled even more ambiguously. She said, "It's good that Your Highness understands. It's good that Your Highness understands!"
Han Yunxi grabbed something on the table and gestured that she was going to smash it. Granny Zhao hurriedly fled this time. "This old servant will take her leave, take her leave!"
At this moment, Long Fei Ye opened the door and jumped in fright. The thing that Han Yunxi was going to smash was none other than his teacup!
Ever since Rui 'er was born, Long Fei Ye had already lost more than 30 sets of tea sets. They were all masterpieces and were one of a kind.
The set that he brought out this time was his favorite among the few that remained!
"Han Yunxi, don't move!" He hurriedly stopped her.
Han Yunxi was originally tired, but she immediately sobered up when she saw Granny Zhao's ambiguous smile. She turned back to look at Long Fei Ye and smiled slyly. "Should I not move the person or the cup?"
