Chapter 464
When Ji Yunqing returned to Shuiyunju, the first thing he saw was the little guy standing at the door waiting for him. He swooped over like a cannonball.
A crisp and lively sound also rang out.
"Mother!"
Ji Yunqing saw the little guy from a distance, and simply stopped where he was, opened his arms and waited to catch him.
She left suddenly, and the little guy must have been scared.
No matter how lively and playful he is, he is still a child after all.
Ruirui ran very quickly with his short legs to Ji Yunqing's side. At the end, he stopped in time, slowed down, and dived into his mother's soft arms.
Ji Yunqing smiled and cooperated by hugging the small body.
The little head rubbed against the mother's shoulder affectionately. Ruirui asked her worriedly: "Mom, where have you been? They said you were missing."
Ji Yunqing thought for a moment and said, "My mother had an accident last night and ran out of the manor."
Although Ruirui is very young, Ji Yunqing never treats children as ignorant and fools them.
——Although her situation is still okay now, who knows if something bad will happen to her one day and she will die or be sent away.
So she always treats this little guy as a little adult.
Just like now, she would tell the truth instead of making excuses.
Fortunately, Ruirui is generally a very reasonable child. Although children are bound to be naughty, he can understand if you explain things to him carefully.
Of course, don’t lecture on reason every day. Children and adults can’t stand it.
Ji Yunqing patted the little guy's shoulder soothingly and said gently: "Mom had an accident. I will tell you in detail later. Let's go back first. I need to take a shower first."
After running around outside for so long, Ji Yunqing was covered in dust, so she had to take a shower as soon as possible.
Ruirui released her arms from hugging her mother tightly and said, "Okay."
Although the little guy agreed, Ruirui's eyes were still closely following his mother.
Nanny An stepped forward and said, "Concubine, the Fourth Young Master has been reluctant to see you and said he would go look for you. Later, I heard from the Concubine that it is easy for children to get lost when they go out. By the time you come back, the Fourth Young Master will be lost.
The Fourth Young Master stopped making trouble, but he didn't go out today. He just waited at the door and refused to leave or rest even if someone called him. He said he was waiting for you to come back."
Ji Yunqing: “…”
Concubine Wen’s little mouth is really good at talking!
Stroking Ruirui's little head, Ji Yunqing's eyes softened: "You all have worked hard."
After the master of Shuiyunju came back, the maids immediately got busy.
Boil water for washing, make tea and pour water, order food in the kitchen, everyone is in a hurry, but there is order in the chaos.
Ji Yunqing didn't feel very thirsty at first, but when the warm water was brought to him, Ji Yunqing drank five or six cups without hesitation.
“Delicious”
This compliment made Daylily, who was holding the tea, laugh, but after laughing, she felt heartbroken.
This is just plain boiled water, without even a drop of tea leaves in it. How can it taste good?
He must be extremely thirsty.
Ruirui lay beside his mother's legs, without blinking his pair of black eyes, and looked up attentively at his mother drinking water.
He took the initiative to say, "I'll go help mother pour some water!"
"no need"
Ji Yunqing quickly stopped him: "Rui Rui, don't bother. It's enough for mother to finish drinking these. You can't drink a bellyful of water."
After coming out of the shower, Ji Yunqing finally felt relaxed.
The maid had calculated the time and prepared some easily digestible meals so that Ji Yunqing could go to rest after finishing his meal.
She ate two bowls of rice, and then she held the little guy who came over again: "Let's go, let's go to sleep for a while."
Ruirui nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Ruirui is still young anyway, so Ji Yunqing brought the little guy into his room without any psychological burden.
The mother and son lay side by side on the bed, and Ruirui deliberately chose to sleep outside.
And he said very considerately: "Mom, if you are thirsty, just call me and I will get you some water."
"Good boy, I know you and mother are the best."
Ji Yunqing rubbed the little guy's head randomly and lay down on the inside as he was told.
If the child can't sleep, it's convenient for him to go out and play outside.
The two of them, one big and one small, leaned their heads against each other and said some intimate words. Ji Yunqing then described in detail her experiences from the late night of last night to today.
Ruirui was surprised and worried when she heard this. She even grabbed her mother's hand with her little hand and said seriously: "If only I were here, I could protect mom."
Ji Yunqing smiled and pinched the little guy's soft face: "Our Ruirui is really amazing"
Rarity smiled happily.
She changed the subject: "But Ruirui is still young, and there is only so much she can do. Wait until you grow up and have the ability to protect your mother."
When Ruirui heard this, she puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
“For example… you can lift it with one hand.”
Ruirui: “…”
Ruirui stopped puffing up for a moment. He was extremely frustrated: "...Is mother talking about me?"
Ji Yunqing's eyes wandered: "Probably"
There is no one else here who is not.
Ruirui thought silently for a while, then cheered herself up again, clenched her fists and encouraged herself: "Mom, wait, I will grow up!"
"Yeah, Rarity is right!"
The mother and son talked and fell asleep unknowingly.
Ji Yunqing didn't go out at all these two days, and even stopped learning horse riding. She spent all her time with her little boy.
Ruirui no longer went out to play. He always followed his mother closely, fearing that she would disappear again.
Ji Yunqing let him do whatever he wanted. In the morning, he and Ruirui went fishing by the pond. The fish in the pond on the farm had delicious meat and big waists. They looked very suitable for catching and making dishes.
The mother and son each carried a fish and happily brought them to the kitchen. One was steamed and the other was braised. Everything was arranged clearly.
In the afternoon, the two of them found a suitable place to paint.
The mother and son each had a table, Ji Yunqing's was a big table, Ruirui's was a small table, and both mother and son had the same serious look on their faces.
Xuancao and Nanny An watched from the side, their eyes full of smiles.
In the next few days, the two of them made leaf bookmarks and flower bookmarks, picked fruits grown on the farm, and were met with sour looks on their faces.
Three days later, Ji Yunqing, smiling, took Ruirui's hand and returned to their residence. Each of them had a green lotus leaf on their head to shade themselves from the sun.
In the sunshine, the smiles on the faces of mother and son were particularly bright. They said a few words from time to time. Ruirui occasionally went to the roadside to pick one or two flowers and held them in his hands.
As soon as they entered Shuiyunju, the mother and son saw an uninvited guest.
Ji Yunqing paused, then quickly regained his composure: "Why is the prince here?"
She hadn't seen this person for several days and she felt a little uncomfortable.
King Zhao stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the mother and son.
