Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Meng Dong boiled some medicine and sent it to Ji Bai, then reached out and knocked on the door.

There was a coughing sound in the room, "Come in..."

Meng Dong pushed the door open and saw Ji Bai still sitting on the chair.

She went over and put the medicine bowl on the table next to him, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed and lie down? Why are you still sitting there?"

"It's not that serious. It's more convenient here." Ji Bai picked up the medicine bowl and smiled at Meng Dong, "It's really troublesome for you to take care of me."

"It's good that you know. Don't make me angry in the future." In fact, after doing so many things, Meng Dong's anger had already dissipated. "Hurry up and drink the medicine while it's hot. I still have to do things."

Ji Bai held the bowl and said, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"what's up?"

"If I accidentally make you angry again in the future, you can hit me or scold me, but just don't ignore me like yesterday, okay?" Ji Bai looked at her eagerly.

Meng Dong put his hands on his hips, "How dare you have a future?!"

"I... I'm just just in case. You know, sometimes I don't even understand how I provoke you."

"It's good that you know." Meng Dong felt that the sick Ji Bai was not as annoying as before, at least the words coming out of this mouth were still somewhat pleasant.

"Drink the medicine quickly. This bowl of medicine took me nearly an hour." Meng Dong urged.

"I'll drink it." The medicine was no longer hot. Ji Bai drank it in one breath and turned the bowl over to show Meng Dong.

Meng Dong took the bowl back and said, "Drink the medicine too. Go to bed and have a good rest."

"Oh, I'll go right away." Ji Bai stood up with a smile.

"I'm leaving." Meng Dong looked at him and wondered. If he hadn't tried his forehead, he wouldn't have been able to tell that he was so sick. If it were her, she would have been lying in bed unable to get up.

Thinking that he had said several times yesterday that he was pretending to be sick, Meng Dong felt a little guilty and hurried out of the room with an empty bowl.

Watching her leave, the smile on Ji Bai's face deepened. This trick was really effective, and it was worth his secret effort last night.

In order to make himself sick, he soaked in cold water for a long time last night. However, the weather was too suitable now, and he had been in good health since he was a child, so he didn't feel much when he soaked in it.

He had no choice but to stand in the yard with soaked clothes, blowing in the wind, and praying to the moon for the wind to be stronger. After the clothes were dried, he went in to get wet again. This was repeated several times. When it was slightly light, he finally felt a little dizzy.

He happily returned to his room, changed his clothes, and ran to wait near Meng Dong's residence, fearing that he would miss her.

Ji Bai clicked his tongue and frowned, this medicine was really bitter. But it was worth the pain to make Meng Dong no longer angry with him.

After Meng Dong went out, he met Lu Yue.

"I haven't seen you all morning, what were you doing?" Lu Yue asked, looking at the empty bowl in Meng Dong's hand.

"I'm not lazy, I'm going to make some medicine for Ji Bai." Meng Dong said.

"Give Ji Bai some medicine? What's wrong with him?"

"I'm sick, I have a fever."

"Oh, it's unusual for him to get sick."

Meng Dong didn't like hearing this anymore, "What's so strange? He's also a human being, how can he not get sick?"

Lu Yue was startled, "Why are you so anxious with me? I've never seen him sick, I just said it casually."

As she said that, Lu Yue looked at her from side to side, "There's something wrong with you..."

Meng Dong felt uncomfortable when she looked at her and turned sideways to avoid her gaze, "What's wrong? What's wrong with me?"

"Why is it that when Ji Bai is sick, you give him some medicine and the dining room is empty?"

"He said they all had their own things to do and he didn't want to trouble others."

Meng Dong didn't notice anything was wrong when he said this, until Lu Yue said in a long voice: "Oh - everyone else has something to do, but you don't have anything to do? Don't want to trouble others, maybe you are not someone else in his eyes, but Are you...one of our own?"

Lu Yue's meaningful look made Meng Dong's head buzz. When Ji Bai said this to her, she didn't think much about it. Now that Lu Yue said this, she couldn't help but suspect that she had been tricked again. She was still angry and ignoring him, so why did she turn around and rush to boil medicine for him?

The more Meng Dong thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, but how could she admit it in front of Lu Yue? She came back to her senses and raised her face and said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about! I just happened to meet him, and we were in a courtyard." I'm just doing some work here, I'm just helping him out, I can't just leave him alone while he's sick."

"Well, we can't ignore it." Lu Yue smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing how she was obviously perfunctory, Meng Dong was furious, "Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, just think about it this way." Lu Yue waved her hand, and she still didn't understand what she was talking about.

Forget it, it would be better for her to think simpler and not have so many worries. It all depends on Ji Bai's ability when he can get her to wake up.

Ji Bai was usually willing to talk to Meng Dong. Yesterday, she saw the lost look on the verandah waiting for Meng Dong, and she guessed a bit.

Seeing that Luyue was about to leave, Meng Dong asked confusedly: "Hey, don't leave yet, please speak clearly..."

"I still have work to do." Lu Yue quickened her pace without looking back.

"It's so annoying to hide your words behind the scenes!" Meng Dong muttered, looking down and seeing the bowl still in his hand, he turned around and walked to the dining room. She also had something to do.

After the imperial examination, many people knew that the family of Dong, the left deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, had a top scholar. After arriving in the capital, Dong Jiabao, who rarely appeared in public and was not noticed by anyone, suddenly became very popular.

As soon as the gold medal came out, in addition to the Qionglin banquet held by the court for these new scholars, Dong Jiabao and Feng Jiyuan were invited to drink and banquet every day.

Dong Jiabao is not the kind of person who would aggrieve himself just to consider other people's face. If he doesn't want to go to a banquet, he will refuse it outright, no matter who the other party is.

If he refuses a lot, those people will probably know his temper, and they won't be too dissatisfied. Furthermore, given his background and the current period of popularity, even if he cannot be invited, most people would not dare to complain.

Of course, Dong Jiabao did not push all the posts. After all, he was about to enter the officialdom, and he would still go to some banquets.

Compared with Dong Jiabai, Feng Jiyuan received fewer invitations, but it was enough for him to deal with every day.

He has a gentle temperament, and his parents are not in Beijing. It is difficult to refuse invitations after receiving them. Except for a few people, he usually accepts them. So these days I have been busy socializing, leaving early and coming back late.

It was almost Haishi when Feng Jiyuan returned to the house that day. He drank some wine and fell asleep leaning on the carriage. Wu Tong reminded him that he got out of the carriage.

Entering the room, he saw two people sitting inside. Feng Jiyuan suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Father, mother, why are you here?!"
