Chapter 497: Living in the same room
Wei Jin also nodded.
He was not greedy for snacks, but she made them differently. Especially when he saw the way she ate them, he felt that her snacks were very delicious.
Wei Ruo generously handed the bag in front of him to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took a piece of dried meat from the bag and put it in his mouth.
The dried meat is very hard, with only a light salty taste and the taste of the meat itself, without any odor or smell. Although it is simple, it is still delicious, just like other foods she has made before.
I don't know if it was because he remembered the past days, but the smile on Wei Jinyi's face became stronger, and it seemed as if he could see light in his star-like eyes.
Wei Ruo noticed Wei Jinyi's expression and couldn't help but thought to herself: Isn't just a little candied fruit worth being so happy? I used to eat her cooking a lot in Xingshan County, Taizhou Prefecture.
At the very beginning, I disliked her cooking because I couldn’t get used to spicy food!
Seeing that Wei Jin also likes the food he cooked so much, Wei Ruo felt a little proud.
Seeing that they had reached the official road outside, the road was flat and the carriage was not bumpy, Wei Ruo took out his own tea drinking tools, a miniature charcoal stove and a matching teapot.
He took out two more cowhide water bags, one filled with water and the other with milk.
Then came the tea cans, which contained this year’s new black tea.
Wei Ruo made milk tea for Wei Jinyi and himself.
"Well, try it." Wei Ruo handed it to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took it and tasted it carefully.
Wei Ruo looked at him. In the past, she thought her second brother was slow, elegant and dignified when drinking tea and eating. Now that he has become a prince, it seems more appropriate.
"Does it taste good?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yeah."
"As long as it tastes good, I still have it here. If you want to drink it, take it yourself." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Um."
Wei Jin also looked at the tea cup in his hand and thought to himself that even as brother and sister, if they could live in harmony for such a long time, seeing her smile, he felt it was enough.
The carriage didn't move very fast, and it took most of the journey to get out of the capital.
After leaving the city, we walked for more than an hour before arriving at the next small county town.
The group stayed at a post house in the county town.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the post house. When Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also got off the carriage, several palace people came forward to help them.
When Wei Ruo and the others went out this time, in addition to the palace guards accompanying them, the emperor also sent a small army of imperial guards and several palace officials to follow them.
The chief steward of these palace people is Eunuch Gao, who is close to the emperor. He is accompanying Wei Jinyi to take care of Wei Jinyi's food and clothing expenses.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin had expected that the emperor would send someone to accompany him, but sending Eunuch Gao directly was something they did not expect.
This father-in-law is not easy to fool. With him around, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi, a superficial couple, have a lot of inconveniences in their affairs.
For example, Wei Jinyi had to continue to pretend to be sick in front of others, and another example was that the two of them had to ride in a carriage and stay in the same place when staying.
Moreover, Wei Ruo even suspected that Eunuch Gao was sent by the emperor to supervise the two of them.
When the father-in-law came to the palace to meet her for the first time, his words revealed that the emperor wanted to leave something behind for His Royal Highness Prince Rui.
Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo entered the inn surrounded by everyone.
Although this is a county inn, it is a must-stop on the way to Beijing. Therefore, the inn is very large, with spacious and bright rooms, and there are many people waiting inside.
Wei Jin was also a prince, so he was naturally assigned to the best guest room.
It's not easy to live in another room when Eunuch Gao is in Wei Ruo.
So the two of them stayed in the same room.
In the room, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also looked at each other. "What should we do tonight?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.
"You sleep here, and I will go out through the window after nightfall." Wei Jin also said.
"Where will you sleep after you get out?" Wei Ruo asked.
"There will be a place to sleep."
"Looking for another guest room to sleep in? This is a post house, and no one is allowed to stay in the room. Or do you want to sleep in the stable?"
Wei Jin also fell silent.
He had planned to go out on the roof and he didn't want to be too far away from her.
"You should sleep in this room. I'll put a cotton blanket on the floor for you and get you a quilt, and you'll make do with it." Wei Ruo still couldn't bear to
drive Wei Jinyi out to find a place to sleep.
Besides, this room is quite big, with an inner room and an inner room. She sleeps in the inner room, which is separated from the outside by a screen. There is a curtain on the bed, and when it is closed, there is a private space. It shouldn't be a big problem to make do with it for one night.
Wei Jin also laid the floor under Wei Ruo's command, and there was a knock on the door.
Since Wei Jin also pretends to be sick, it is naturally Wei Ruo's job to answer the door.
Eunuch Gao stood outside the door and said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face: "Princess, do you and the prince need anything else?" "
No, everything is very complete here."
"That's good. If you have any instructions, please call at any time. Our family."
"Okay." Wei Ruo replied.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Gao asked the little eunuch who was following him to come forward. The little eunuch was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a stew pot on the tray.
"Princess, our family has ordered someone to make a cup of tonic soup for you. Drink it before going to bed. It is a secret recipe in the palace. All the ladies love to use it. It has miraculous effects on nourishing and nourishing the skin." "Thank you, father-in-law." Wei Ruo stretched out his hand
. , took the tray from the little eunuch who held out his hand.
Eunuch Gao warned again: "Mother, this is for women to nourish. Don't let the prince drink it." "I understand,
thank you, Eunuch."
Wei Ruo replied, and then closed the door.
Wei Ruo put the tonic soup on the table in the room.
After opening it, he smelled it, then dipped a little of it with a spoon and put it on the tip of his tongue to taste it. He suddenly understood and said with a smile, "No wonder I told you not to touch it." "Why?" Wei Jin also asked
.
"This is indeed a tonic soup, a great tonic. You are weak and cannot be replenished, so naturally you cannot drink it." Wei Ruo said in a teasing tone.
Wei Jin also felt that Wei Ruo didn't tell the whole story, so he looked at Wei Ruo, waiting for her to continue.
Receiving Wei Jinyi's look, Wei Ruo smiled and added: "I think Eunuch Gao wanted me, the princess, to help you, the sick prince, stay behind, so he specially prepared such a nourishing decoction for me."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Jin also understood.
Wei Jinyi was weak, so Eunuch Gao naturally did not dare to give him food casually, but he accepted the emperor's order and hoped to give Wei Jinyi a heir, so he had no choice but to start with Wei Ruo.
"I've made you tired." Wei Jin also said apologetically, because of his pretending to be ill, what happened now.
"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't been affected yet." It
sounded weird to say that she was affected, as if the two of them had done something.
"That's not what I meant..."
Wei Jinyi's face turned slightly red, and she realized something was wrong in her words.
