Back at the palace, Jiang An was still listless, lying on top of her father like a fat pancake and refusing to get down.

Dinner was prepared early and heated over and over again in the kitchen.

As soon as Jiang Jichen returned to the main courtyard, Steward Sun asked the servants to prepare the food.

Just like yesterday, Jiang An was given a bowl of fine rice, while the prince Jiang Jichen was given a Hu pancake.

However, Jiang An sniffed the Hu pancake soaked in goat milk in front of him.

The goat milk is carefully processed and does not have a strong original taste. The Hu Bing is torn into small pieces by Jiang Jichen himself and floated in the soup. The aroma of oil mixed with the aroma of milk, the sweetness and saltiness combined together is unexpectedly delicious!

Jiang An's eyes sparkled, and he ate happily while holding the spoon with his fat hands.

Having a meal with such a dumpling, Jiang Jichen was in a good mood and ate more...

After dinner, Jiang Jichen and Tuanzi walked out of the house together.

Jiang An, wrapped in fox fur, skipped down the steps and headed straight for the towering ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

"Haha, Nianniang, come quickly~..."

She broke free from the protective circle that Nianniang had created for her and ran toward the cobblestone road paved with fallen leaves.

The leaves crunched under my feet, like stepping on cotton.

Jiang An grabbed a handful of fallen leaves and threw them into the air. The red of the setting sun reflected the golden color of the fallen leaves. It was as if the essence of time slipped through his fingers.

Jiang Jichen raised his hand to stop Guan Yan from going forward to report. The tall man put his hands behind his back and looked at the smiling Tuanzi with a pair of dark eyes.

Jiang An played with Luo Ye for as long as her father watched.

Until Jiang An, who was overly excited, stuck his head into the pile of fallen leaves swept up by the servant.

The chubby dumpling sat back with a firm slapping sound.

Jiang An shook her head in confusion, then smiled at her father.

Hey, it doesn't hurt.

When she squinted her eyes, they looked like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, with stars hidden in it.

Jiang Jichen took the hot water bottle from Niangniang and held her in his arms. "Do you like this maidenhair tree so much?"

Jiang An hugged the soup bottle obediently, "Very beautiful, I like it very much!"

She held her head high, with her little chicks hanging on her shoulders. She was held in her father's arms and could see a different view of the tree.

The child's voice was still childish, and she spoke each word seriously, "This tree is very lush, and it contains a lot of vitality."

"It's the hope of life..."

In Jiang An's eyes, everything in this world is like this.

Jiang Jichen stroked the top of the little kid's head. The two stood under the tree. The wind blew and the leaves slowly fell down.

Jiang Jichen: "You are right, it is hope..."

Hope of life.

After leaving the main courtyard, Jiang Jichen went to the study in the front yard, while Jiang An took Niangniang and the others to see Yang Miemie.

The animal garden is located in a remote place, because the animals in it like to bark, and they don't want to disturb their owners' rest, so they chose to place it in a corner of the palace.

After passing through a rockery forest and walking along the corridor, you can see a towering wall with iron pillars erected on top to reinforce the height.

Perhaps it was because it heard the footsteps of Jiang An and his group, a tiger roared in the garden, the roar penetrated from the ears to the heart,

Zhengyan and Zhenglu were secretly nervous, but Jiang Anan was sitting in Nianniang's arms, swinging her little feet, looking so comfortable!

Outside the enclosure, two or three sheep were tied to wooden stakes with ropes, trembling under the pressure of the roar.

"Baa ...

Jiang An held a handful of hay in his hand and fed it enthusiastically.

The fat hand shook for a long time, but the sheep didn't dare to move!

Tuanzi tilted his head, "You don't want to eat?"

"If you don't eat, you'll lose weight, and if you lose weight, you won't have goat milk..."

"Without goat milk, I can only eat mutton..."

"Suck..."

Tuanzi muttered to himself, but what he was thinking about were the shabu-shabu mutton, roasted lamb legs, roasted whole lamb, and mutton dumplings he had seen in books...

Jiang An settled there, holding a handful of hay in his hand and looking at Niang Niang pitifully.

"Nianniang, can you tell Butler Sun that Jiang An wants to eat mutton..."

Nianniang's mouth twitched. My dear lady, you just said last night that you wanted to be friends with this sheep...

Thinking this in her heart, Nianniang nodded expressionlessly, "Of course, I will talk to Butler Sun when I go back..."

Nianniang was halfway through her words when the sheep, wishing she would die soon, came over with two trembling bamboo legs to pull the hay from Jiang An's hand.

Tuanzi put his fat hands on the sheep's face and pushed it away, saying something righteous.

"You don't want to eat!"

"To be a sheep you need to have ambition and backbone!"

In response, the sheep snatched all the hay from her hands...

Jiang An pouted, and got angry like a child. He stopped looking at the sheep and just squatted there muttering,

The man in the garden seemed tired of her mumbling, and roared like a tiger, one after another.

Jiang An covered his ears and suggested sincerely, "Nianniao, why don't we poison it to make it mute..."

Right words, right rules: ...

Miss, why don't you just poison us to deafness...

Nianniang brushed off the dust on the young lady and said, "Miss, the one locked inside is the white tiger that the emperor gave to the prince."

"The tribute from Dongli is a gift from His Majesty. It cannot be poisoned."

"White?"

"Yes, white."

Jiang An stared at the gate of the zoo curiously when he passed by it, but he honestly did not ask to go in and take a look.

What a joke. A little girl like her could be eaten by the tiger in one bite.

She admitted that her brain seemed to have shrunk, but she had not become stupid.

Jiang Anke had no interest in being the takeaway that was delivered to his door.

When I returned to the main courtyard, the moon was already dim.

Nianniang carried the young lady to the side room to bathe and wash off the dust, and then handed her over to the prince.

Jiang An, who had just taken a bath, was fair and tender. She rolled back and forth on the bed wrapped in a quilt in her underwear.

Her father was reading official documents behind his desk.

The little ball rolled around and yawned, and buried his whole body in the quilt with his eyelids fighting.

Jiang An used to sleep together when she was on a mission. When it was cold, they would even hug each other and sleep together. She always thought it was nothing.

But suddenly I have to sleep with my own father, I am a little shy~

As she was thinking, she yawned again.

Jiang Jichen put down the document in his hand, used his internal force to swing it out, and the bright lights in the room suddenly went out.

He patted Tuanzi, "Go to sleep if you are tired..."

Jiang An fell asleep very quickly and started snoring in a short while.

The dream was full of strange things, sometimes I was flying in the sky, sometimes I was playing under a ginkgo tree, but the nightmares I had before were gone...

The night was long and peaceful. Jiang Jichen did not have trouble falling asleep even with the little girl beside him. Instead, he slept soundly listening to her regular snoring.

until…

I could vaguely hear Jiang An's uncomfortable murmurs beside me...

The man opened his eyes, no longer looking confused as when he woke up.

He extended his big palm to Jiang An's forehead, which was burning hot.

The ginger soup I coaxed into drinking during dinner was of no use at all.

The man waved aside the beaded curtain that was in the way, and his voice spread outside the house, "Someone, call the court doctor over, quickly!"

……

The room was bright again, and many people were standing in and outside the main courtyard.

Zhengyan, Zhenglu and Guanyan were guarding outside, while Nianniang, housekeeper Sun and the palace doctor were in the main house.

Jiang Jichen's face was as black as ink, and the atmosphere around him was frighteningly gloomy.

The court doctor took the patient's pulse and sent someone to get some strong liquor.

"The young lady was not familiar with the climate here, and her body was too weak. In addition, the cold wind blew, causing a high fever."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. The most important thing right now is to reduce the fever quickly..."

"Your Highness, rub strong liquor on the palms and soles of the baby's feet. If the fever doesn't go down, rub it on the baby's body again."

Jiang An was very well behaved. He only groaned a few times when he had a fever. His lively face during the day was now red from the fever. His hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat. He looked limp and lifeless...

Jiang Jichen followed the doctor's instructions, and his anger grew stronger and stronger.

He stood in front of the bed, his expression cold against the candlelight, like the King of Hell who was demanding his life.

"Jiang Jiu, go to General Xie's mansion and take Xie Yunshan for a tour of Chongzhou Prefecture!"

……

Xie Yunshan from the General's Mansion was sleeping soundly with his beautiful wife in his arms...

I don't know what I'm about to face~
