[Lu Shiqi: Where is the soul]
After breakfast, Princess Ye retreated, left me behind, and raised her eyebrows: "I heard that your tea-making skills are excellent, and all kinds of tricky and strange names are difficult for you to live, is this true?"
I lowered my eyebrows and smiled: "In this palace, there are too many exaggerated things. ”
"Oh?" Princess Ye said: "I like you a little bit when you say that, most of the people in this palace are really boring." Having said that, I got up in the morning and glanced out, and saw something with a small red fruit, although I don't know what it was, I also responded to a poem I saw last night, and the new green between the branches was heavy, and the little bud ...... Little Lei......"
"Back to the princess, the new green between the branches is heavy, and Xiao Lei is a little red. I laughed.
"That's it, Xiao Lei is a little red, and it's fresh to read, can you make a cup of tea with this poem?" After a pause, he said: "If you win my heart, I will give you breakfast." ”
I muttered slightly, "In this case, please wait for the princess." ”
With that, he turned around, went back to his room, and took three teacups.
The first one is lit and boiled, the second takes a leaf, the third takes six flower buds, soon the fire is extinguished, the rolled leaves are put into the tea cup and simmered for a while, the cover has a fragrance, and said with a smile: "This is a new green between the branches", and put the flower buds into the stewed water, only to see the flower buds slowly blooming on the water surface, Princess Ye's face was full of curiosity, but she didn't say anything, just watched the six flower buds gradually bloom and sink into the water and be covered by the curly leaves, and shy and timidly show a little red powder, I said: "This is Xiao Lei Shen lock a few red." ”
Princess Ye hesitated, "How did this happen?"
I gave this tea to Princess Ye and said, "Ask the princess to taste the tea first, and then I will make it clear." ”
Princess Ye took a sip of the teacup, closed her eyes slightly and said: "This tea, smelling fragrant, slightly hot in the mouth, refreshing in taste, and fragrant and cold in aftertaste, it seems that it is in a cup of tea all year round." ”
"Is the princess still satisfied with this tea?"
"Naturally. And what I promised you will be fulfilled. ”
"This tea, the fragrance is peach blossom, mint, bamboo leaves, white snow, slightly hot is to make the aroma color and taste are the best, refreshing is the benefit of mint, cold fragrance is because the snow is the snow on the plum blossom. I replied unhurriedly, Princess Ye showed a suddenly realized expression, and asked again: "How did the bamboo leaf incense come from?
I took the lid of the teacup in my hand and said, "The secret is here," and said that the lid of the teacup was reversed, and I saw two strands of bamboo leaves tied into concentric knots, and said, "Because the bottom of the teacup lid is convex and concave, this bamboo leaf is deeply hidden." And the flowers in the water are the flowers that want to bloom, but I just take hot water to urge them. ”
"I see, your ingenuity clearly tells me now, aren't you afraid that I will use it to trick me," Princess Ye laughed, "Today's tea is so suitable, what do you want to eat for breakfast, tell me." ”
The cup was given to the princess. The coarse tea and light rice are very good, and the princess is beautiful. ”
"It's okay to skip meals, then if you have anything you want, I'll do it for you. ”
"What I want, the princess doesn't seem to want to give it to me," seeing me teasing, Princess Ye was not annoyed, and said leisurely after a while: "If I don't mind working with you, won't you agree?"
"Why don't you ask yourself, if you are a woman, will you live up to yourself," as soon as the words came out, Princess Ye was silent at first, and then said with a smile: "Although I do think that you are a wonderful person after contacting you these days, I have never felt that I am inferior to you." ”
Therefore, I asked the princess to ask herself whether she wanted to live and die, or just wanted to win or lose. "That's the case, I'm afraid that Princess Ye herself doesn't know what she wants. And that's what makes me breathe a sigh of relief.
"You go down first," Princess Ye gestured, "just because I owe you a personal favor." ”
"Yes. I lowered my hands and left.
"Wait a minute," Princess Ye said, "Tonight, you will wait for me in the Imperial Garden." ”
"Yes. ”
"Let's go. ”
"Yes. ”
In winter, the best scenery is the perch plum garden. Now that it has come to the end of the year, the weather is warming, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden are no longer in the old days. Carrying the palace lantern all the way, the peach and apricot in the imperial garden have already given birth to new sprouts, Princess Ye called me to wait for her here, I came earlier, so I walked around to see.
After a while, Princess Ye came, saw me here, and said, "Let's go and sit in the Snow Shelter." ”
I followed behind her, and saw that the Snow Shelter Pavilion had been properly organized, presumably prepared by Princess Ye in advance.
However, before he could sit down, he heard the noise from the Chengqian Palace, and his heart was cold.
At the same time, when Princess Ye and I hurriedly left the Snow Shelter, a dart broke through the air, and Princess Ye realized that it was too late. I could have made a move, but because Princess Ye was by my side, I could only block it with my arm. The dart pierced the flesh and brought out a string of blood.
"Where did the thief come from, it's really shameless to sneak attack from behind--wait for this princess to catch you-" Princess Ye said with a flash of figure, and came back after a while: "The Royal Forest Army has chased you, your injuries ...... Come back to the palace with me and bandage it!"
"It's okay, the old master is sick, I need to go back to the Chengqian Palace first," I covered the wound with my hand, anxious to see Concubine Shu.
"Then don't move—I'll pull the dart out for you—" Princess Ye said.
"Pull it out, and then watch me bleed to death so that I can get Su Ziheng?" I said.
"You're really, when did you still have the heart to joke. Princess Ye said anxiously. After finishing the sentence, he added, "But I only let you bandage because you injured me, don't worry about it." ”
"I'm fine, let's go. "Princess Ye had no choice but to listen to me.
Before arriving at the gate of Chengqian Palace, Su Yu's angry voice came out inside: "If you can't cure the concubine, you will be buried together in the entire Tai Hospital!"
Mother. Something went wrong.
Ziheng. What about Ziheng.
I can't enter the palace gate of Chengqian Palace with blood on my body, and Princess Ye can't enter the palace gate if she is not a royal family. Just listening to the voice inside, piecing together a cause and effect, Concubine Shu was originally sick, and this time the old disease of winter cold recurred, coupled with the cold invasion of the body, time is running out.
"You give me a cure, what medicinal herbs do you want, and I have to find them with all the power of the world——"
"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, what's the use of raising you-"
……
The emperor's angry voice kept coming out, and the imperial doctor inside was a mess, both shocked and afraid.
Until one said, "You all give me out." The imperial doctors hurriedly wiped their sweat and went out of the palace of Concubine Shu as if they were amnesty.
I can't show Princess Ye here after all, so I said: "Princess, go back first, I used to be Concubine Shugui's maid, how can there be any reason why the master is not there if something happens." ”
Princess Ye said: "Your ...... injury"
"Don't worry," I tied a handkerchief to my arm, and the first thing I did when I entered the door was to go to the room where I often stayed with Ziheng, and met Qingge, Qingge looked out, closed the door and said, "Why did the girl come back?"
"I heard that my mother had an accident, and I couldn't rest assured, so I came back to see-" Qingge saw that my face was pale, and saw the silk on my arm, and said, "Are you injured?"
I didn't answer, but said, "How is the mother now?"
Qingge reached out to untie the silk I was tiding, and said in a low voice, "It's not good." ”
"When will Ziheng enter the palace?" I asked.
"I have already let him enter the palace overnight, this son should be about to arrive, the emperor decreed that no one is allowed to go to the main hall now, and it is estimated that he will come here when he comes. Qingge untied the silk silk wrapped around my arm and exclaimed, "Why didn't you pull it out!" The girl wrapped the silk silk like this, but she was afraid that the wound would be deeper. ”
"I didn't pay attention, I was anxious to see the concubine, I didn't feel the pain," he paused and whispered: "Let's bandage this wound ourselves, don't tell Ziheng for a while." ”
The air freezes for a moment.
"Qingge?" called but didn't get a response, looked back and saw Su Ziheng. He has always been elegant and dusty, and today he provoked some dust, as if an immortal fell into red dust, and he was still calm. I was stunned for a moment, and I was about to wrap the wound with a gauze silk again, but he came over and pressed my hand and said, "Ling'er, don't move." ”
Qingge quietly retreated, and only the two of us were left in the room. When he saw my arm, his body trembled slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings on a sunny day, and then he stretched out a hand to my lips and said, "I'll pull out this dart, and if you hurt, bite me." ”
"Good. I said.
If it were usual, I would definitely not want to speak, but today, I am afraid that he would like me to be harsh, and the pain in my body can at least withstand the heartache temporarily.
He carefully removed my upper shirt, put his hand on the dart on my arm, and said warmly: "I'm going to start, it may hurt a little, you bear with it." ”
"Good. I replied.
His hand began to slowly drag the small angular murder weapon out, I tried my best to endure it, but I still gasped, the wound seemed to be pierced by countless needles, cold and hot, my arm trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. After the pain, he began to be numb, and his body was cold and hot for a while, and under the flesh and blood, the fire of pain eroded his heart. I looked up in a daze and looked up at him treating the dart as if it were a treasure, shaking my head and smiling.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Laugh at your treatment of this dart—" I continued, relenting, "as carefully as a treasure." ”
"Where is this dart precious, it is obviously your precious," his voice was soft and gentle, and he said it with a hint of pity. ”
I muttered, "Su Ziheng, are you afraid of pain?" Without waiting for him to answer, I bit his hand until the dart was completely withdrawn.
His hand was bitten out of blood, I panicked when I saw it, and was anxious to take medicine to wipe him, and the wound was touched, so I could only stay in place, only to find that I and his head were covered with beads of sweat, he said gently: "Don't move, the wound is still bleeding, I will give you medicine," and then asked me: "Do you still bite?"
"No—" I replied simply.
He drugged medicated, bandaged me, and said, "Change your clothes, the weather is not good, be careful of the wind and cold." ”
"That'...... You can change your clothes too, and I'm going to give you medicine too. I said.
"Good. He gently helped me change my clothes and went to change for his own.
"Ziheng?"
"Huh?" he turned to look at me.
"Now, if you're not happy," I passed my hand to him, "you can bite me, you can bite me for blood," he shook his head, smiling helplessly, and I continued, "I know a miracle doctor, you can try to invite him." ”
"Who?" he asked.
"I only know that the surname is Jiang, and I used to be a friend of Mrs. Junchenjun, the lord of Yifang Pavilion, I don't know if she is willing to help with this," I pursed my lips, this Mrs. Jun still can't figure out the details, it seems that I have to ask Yilan about it.
"If you are human, you will have a weakness, and we will meet this tomorrow, Madame Jun. The corners of his lips turned up slightly as he said this, and I felt that he was already in his chest, and then he put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Now, let's sleep." As he spoke, he came to help me get the hairpins, his fingers were slender and white, and the green silk was as black as ink, and I was stunned for a moment: "Su Lang, aren't you worried about the concubine?"
"I've just seen it quietly," he chuckled, my hair on his hand.
