Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1630: Chapter 1627: Southern Border Script

After winning a bet with the Beirong Prince yesterday, no one knew what he was going to do, and Chu Heng had already been summoned and had to enter the palace early in the morning.

“Ah Yu, wait for me to come back.” Chu Heng walked to the door, turned back, and gently kissed her on the forehead.

The repeated actions left Ye Muyu both amused and helpless.

She intended to smile, but when she thought of his bold behavior, she quickly restrained her smile and deliberately hummed lightly. Only after he left did she lean back in her chair, finding a comfortable position to rest.

Although her inner garment was made of the softest fabric, Ye Muyu still felt that the friction on her body afterward was not very comfortable—slightly itchy, slightly painful.

Because she was uneasy, she did not go out and spent the whole morning curled up on the soft couch reading.

She was reading books from the Southern Border, which Chu Heng had ordered his subordinates to bring back after leaving the palace yesterday.

The capital has many bookstores, and the medical skills and Gu Poison of the Southern Border are well-known, but related books have not been widely circulated, indicating that the Southern Border protects such knowledge very closely.

She couldn’t help but wonder what methods the Elder Princess used to bring those books back from the Southern Border.

Ye Muyu languidly nestled on the soft couch reading, while Nuanbao was playing nearby with Chun Xing, who had laid a thick carpet for him. She went about her own business without being disturbed.

She occasionally glanced at Nuanbao.

Just to ensure he was okay.

“My lady.” It was approaching noon.

Su Mei came in and softly conveyed the news of Tang Dongfeng’s return.

“Has he already entered the capital?” Upon hearing the news, Ye Muyu rubbed her forehead and asked about the specifics with concern.

Su Mei nodded, “Yes, Shopkeeper Tang just entered the city. Zhu San said it was delayed due to some issues with the carriage on the road, so he has already gone to the Mei Mian Rouge Shop.”

“Alright, I understand. Let me know when he arrives.” Ye Muyu didn’t intend to summon him immediately; after a long journey, he should rest and recuperate first, otherwise, Tang Dongfeng would have already visited the residence directly.

“Yes.” Su Mei nodded and then asked, “My lady, what would you like for lunch?”

Ye Muyu was not particularly hungry, shook her head, and said, “I’m not sure; just prepare something simple.”

“I went to check with the main kitchen, and today they’ve simmered a rich broth. It’s suitable for a stew, though we don’t have many fresh vegetables, mostly those that are easy to preserve, like potatoes and radishes.”

Ye Muyu lazily shook her head and even yawned, “I don’t feel like having a stew. Make something simple, like chicken stewed with potatoes, with a thick soup. I’ll have it with rice.”

“Alright, I’ll go and give the instructions right away.”

Su Mei left.

Ye Muyu continued reading the book in her hand. She had a good memory. Although she didn’t have much of a linguistic talent, by forcibly memorizing and then translating, it became somewhat easier.

For convenience, she picked up a pen to translate the contents recorded in Southern Border script into ordinary script and then transcribed them.

She didn’t organize much in the morning; however, it was mainly some records of medicinal herbs from the Southern Border. The content mostly just described the existence of these herbs, their names, and appearances, rather than their effects.

Even though she didn’t learn much, she memorized quite a few characters, which would make translating easier as she continued to study.

After being busy for a while, she felt hungry.

Su Mei also hinted to the main kitchen to serve the dishes.

She first sipped a bit of the soup; satisfied with the taste, her mood improved.

She first mixed the soup and rice together and then fed it into her mouth, finding the combination very appetizing.
