At night, in Yuxiu Courtyard, Tao was lying on the Huanghuali shelf bed, a green silk was scattered, at this moment, she reached out and gently beat her waist, more and more feeling that she was old, as long as it rained, this waist was sore, thinking, she stroked her face without powder, but what she remembered was what her daughter said during the day.

The scenes of his daughter's childhood are still vivid, and he naturally remembers that Xu Wang Shizi and his daughter are not only childhood sweethearts, but also first-class in appearance, and look at the "golden boy and girl". And after the return of the prince of King Xu, although she had never seen it, she also sent someone to inquire secretly, this appearance is needless to say, and I also know that he does not even have a concubine by his side now, and he has no vices, which is also low-key. It's such a person, and if you look at it, you can't find a second one in the entire city of Kyoto. To be honest, if it weren't for her selfishness, she would even think that her daughter was not worthy.

But that girl is good, but she says that she only treats him as an older brother?

Dow couldn't help frowning.

When Su Shaohua came out of the bath, he saw Tao Shidai's eyebrows tightly locked, and his hand kept knocking on his waist, completely sore and unbearable, and he suddenly felt a little distressed.

Dow's backache is also an old problem, every time it rains, regardless of day or night, this waist will be sore, and what method did Ren use to treat it, even Xun Jiu gave her acupuncture for half a month after diagnosis, but it was not able to ease up, as long as it rained, the sour is still sour.

During this period of time, because the envoy of the peace talks of Western Xia was about to come to Beijing, the palace was busy preparing for the reception, and he was also very busy.

Su Shaohua felt guilty, he strode forward, sat on the bed, reached out and put his arm around Tao's waist, pinched it gently, and said distressedly: "Jin'er, look at your appearance, let's go and ask Doctor Xun to show you again?"

Tao half leaned in Su Shaohua's arms, smelled the refreshing smell on his body, and heard him mention Xun Jiu, which made him want to talk to him. But there are some things she doesn't want to talk about yet, such as Xun Jiu and Su Jueyuan. The matter of these two people has not yet been publicized, and in the mansion, I am afraid that only Tao and Su Xun know about it. And this is naturally Dow's order to suppress this matter first, after all, this is a scandalous matter, and there is no way to deal with the aftermath, so it can only be treated as if nothing happened.

I don't want to talk about this matter, but there is one thing that I can't help but say, and that is "the emperor is seriously ill".

Yes, after listening to Xun Jiu's words before, she felt that it was true, but if she thought about it carefully, this holy body was sick, even if she concealed it, it would not be impossible for anyone in the palace to see some clues.

Tao thought about it, then opened his lips and said: "The concubine's body is not so sour when you rub it, where is the use of asking Xun Shen Doctor." But the concubine has something to do in her heart, which is really uncomfortable. After a pause, she raised her head and looked directly into Su Shaohua's eyes, and did not beat around the bush, and said: "I heard that the saint is infected with the disease today, I don't know what to do?" Tao and Su Shaohua have been married for more than 20 years, and what they say between the two is often straight to the point and will not be ambiguous, but this is the emperor in the end, Tao did not dare to ask directly whether he was seriously ill, and his voice was lowered.

Su Shaohua was not surprised when he heard Tao mention this, but instead felt a little sour in his heart. It's no wonder that any man will be a little surprised when he hears that his beloved woman cares about another man, not to mention that he actually knows that man has always been obsessed with Tao.

Ke Rao is heart was very sour, and Su Shaohua naturally didn't dare not answer his wife's question, he said a little depressed: "The saint has been busy with political affairs recently, and he often stays in the Qianqing Palace for a few days and doesn't come out, but he has never heard of illness." However, during these days, many excerpts were approved by the prince. As he spoke, the hand holding Dow tightened.

Tao didn't know that Su Shaohua was a little surprised, she reached out and poked his stomach, and said with a smile: "I'm so old, how can I get the vinegar in it before, but it sours me." As he spoke, he lowered his head and muttered again, "The prince is also eighteen this year, and it is time to take a concubine." ”

Su Shaohua is not stupid, I felt a little strange when I heard her suddenly mention the emperor before, this time, and I was concerned about the prince's affairs, and it was a marriage, it was not difficult to guess what she was thinking in her heart, he stroked Tao, shook his head and said: "Jin'er, you are really worried, how old are we Yuanyuan." "In the Da Cao Dynasty, concubines have always been chosen, and this candidate woman must have performed and bowed. And if there is no accident, this year the emperor will choose the crown princess for the crown prince.

Tao didn't say anything when he heard it, but said secretly: There is an exception to everything, and when she thought about it, she almost became the exception. Now, who can guarantee that it won't happen?

After all, it is very likely that the emperor is seriously ill......

And in the end, thinking that Su Shaohua was tired for a day, Tao didn't say much, and slept with him, but when he closed his eyes, the scenes of his daughter getting along with Xu Wang Shizi came to mind, and he couldn't help but say: Could it be that the mother can't see through her daughter, and her eyes are not looking at her brother......

……

It rained, and the weather was getting hotter.

It's a sunny day, but it's still early, and it's not very hot. Look at the blue sky, the sun is red, and there is a gentle breeze from time to time, which is just right for travel, and today happens to be the day to make an appointment with Xiang Xuexuan to go to the National Color Academy to enjoy the peony.

Su Xun lifted the gray tulle in front of him with his hand, raised his eyes and looked at the blue and clear sky, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed, as if he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Lu Baozhu, who was walking slowly not far away.

Lu Baozhu has been living with her in the Rongguo Mansion in recent days. According to the past life in his memory, Su Xun really didn't worry about Lu Baozhu being alone, so he said that he wanted to play with her for a few more days, but he just stayed. In the past few days, the two have been inseparable, inseparable, and even Mr. Li has come to teach Su Xun with her. As for the matter of the second brother, even including his various things, Su Xun naturally ordered no one to mention it in front of him. And the Yufu Courtyard where she lives is a quiet place, and there is no one who can chew the root of the tongue.

At the moment, although Lu Baozhu looks a little decadent, his whole person's spirit is much better.

But it's strange to say that these days, no one in the mansion mentions Xun Jiu and the second brother at all, as if it never happened.

Su Xun thought for a while, and saw that Lu Baozhu was about to come to her, she smiled slightly, turned around, took Lu Baozhu's hand, and said softly: "Baozhu, I heard that not only the peonies in the National Color Courtyard are blooming well, but the pastries served in it are also very chic. As he spoke, he beckoned to the lotus mist on the side, took the hat that was prepared for Lu Baozhu, and brought it to her.

Originally, Lu Baozhu was sad, Su Xun didn't want to go to the appointment, but think about it again, this time to go out for a walk, it is a beautiful day, and it is enjoyable, wouldn't that person's mood be better sooner.

Lu Baozhu listened, only answered softly, and let Su Xun put on her hat.

Then the two held hands together, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Tao standing there in a dark red peony pattern brocade dress.

Tao is also going out today, but she is going to Huifang Pavilion to stock up on some rouge gouache. At this moment, she was waiting here, just thinking about giving a few more words before going out.

Several people saw that it was Tao and called out one after another.

Tao Shi answered, glanced at Lu Baozhu, and said with a slight smile: "Baozhu, can you get used to living in the mansion these days? ”

Lu Baozhu naturally nodded.

After a few more pleasantries, Tao's eyes fell on his daughter again, stretched out his hand to help her straighten her clothes, and said, "Yuanyuan, remember to come back early, don't be greedy." ”

Su Xun knew that her mother cared about her, and she guessed that the second brother's matter was covered up tightly, and it must be inseparable from her mother. Hearing his mother's instructions, he naturally responded obediently: "I know." ”

Tao also did not forget to tell the two maids on the side: "When you go out, you have to follow the girl." ”

After speaking, he chatted with Su Xun a few more words, and then let the two go out.

There were already two carriages covered by Zhu Yinghua parked outside the door.

Huifang Pavilion is different from the National Color Courtyard, and after a while, the two carriages parted ways.

Tao instructed the coachman to drive slower, lifted the curtain, and looked at the carriage that was moving away before putting down her hand, but suddenly, she lifted the curtain again, and looked at the simple carriage that was passing by, only to feel inexplicably familiar.

……

Half an hour later, Su Xun and Lu Baozhu arrived at the National Color Academy.

At this time, it was still early, but the gate of the National Color Courtyard was already full of people, so it was not lively.

It is no wonder that when it is the peony season, there are many precious peonies planted here, all of which are "only the peony is the true national color", when hundreds of peonies bloom and compete for beauty, the scenery is beautiful, there are many ordinary people who may not be able to see it for a lifetime, and where are they willing to let go of this opportunity.

When the carriage stopped, Su Xun and Lu Baozhu got out of the carriage, and someone greeted them.

——It is an ink painting of the maid next to Xiang Xuexuan.

Although the National Color Courtyard is mainly to enjoy the flowers, there are also pavilions and pavilions built inside, which are divided into upper, middle and lower three, etc., for the people who enjoy the flowers to rest, naturally, this is to collect another silver.

Right now, Xiang Xuexuan has chartered a private room on the second floor with an excellent view, and she has been waiting there for a long time.

Su Xun took Lu Baozhu's hand and followed the ink painting inside.

But before she took a few steps, Su Xun suddenly felt that her sleeves were tight, and she looked down in confusion, and saw a hand that could no longer see the original color, and was full of black sludge was tightly pulling her sleeve.
