Wang Yinnu muttered for a moment and said in a low voice: "When I was building a small building in the heart of Bafutang Lake, I heard that there was a concubine abandoned in the cold palace of the former dynasty who was imprisoned in the palace...... I don't know if Uncle Wu has heard of something similar. ”

Zhu Hu also lowered his voice and said: "This kind of rumor is found in the palace and various palaces, and the Song and Yuan dynasties and even the cold palace concubines of the Ming Dynasty have been arranged, in fact, they are all nonsense from those idle and boring eunuchs and palace maids, don't take it to heart." Besides, the father, the queen and the queen don't like the ghosts and gods, so don't let those who have a heart spread it. ”

Zhu Huan kindly reminded him, Wang Yinnu was embarrassed to continue to ask, and said, "Okay, I remember, I won't mention this matter to others." ”

Zhu Hu lowered his eyes and said: "Bafutang is surrounded by water on all sides, and there is water mist on sunny days. If you are still trapped in a nightmare, just copy the scriptures and meditate, the father and the queen mother are all Buddhists, and it is okay to write some scriptures or set up a small Buddhist hall in the palace. ”

Wang Yinnu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Fifth for solving your doubts." ”

Zhu Hu was a little cramped and said, "You're welcome, you and I...... You and I are close relatives. ”

Wang Yinnu was turning around and retiring, Zhu Hu suddenly remembered something, and said: "The year before last, the fourth brother was still in the Zongren Mansion as a sect commander and often went in and out of the small building in the middle of the lake, at that time Miss Xu was still the shopkeeper of the Baihetang pharmacy, she almost every time she went to the small building in the center of the lake with the fourth brother, at that time she either gave autopsies to the dead or to the living, and often left me alone in the pharmacy for consultation, at that time you ......"

Zhu Lu was a little stunned, at that time Wang Yinnu was still the daughter of the spice shopkeeper, he and she had eaten sugar-fried chestnuts on the street, eaten roasted taro in the brazier, went to the three unique monuments to expand the inscriptions, and he also boiled Guyuan paste with his own hands and gave it to her to nourish her body...... What he thought was eternal at the time could never be looked back on.

Zhu Yu bit the tip of his tongue, forced himself to pull it out of his memories, and continued: "Fourth Brother and Miss Xu have never mentioned anything strange to me about Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, presumably those ghosts and gods are just rumors, don't take it to heart." ”

After that, Zhu Hu said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Wang Yinnu heard that Xu Miaoyi often went in and out of the small building in the middle of the lake, and her heart suddenly lit up: the county lord of Yong'an said in his own statement that the palace was lonely, and only a female doctor understood her suffering and was willing to listen to her pour out her misfortune.

Since it was Xu Miaoyi who diagnosed and treated the county lord of Yong'an, then she should know the whereabouts of this county lord of Dongwu......

Wang Yinnu thought to herself, Queen Ma was teasing Zhu Zhi, who was almost two years old, to speak, picking up a piece of hawthorn cake, Zhu Zhi eagerly waved his hand to grab it, Queen Ma smiled and raised the red snack high, and Concubine Han clapped her hands and encouraged: "Hurry up and ask for hawthorn cake, and the queen will give it to you." ”

Concubine Han is a beautiful woman contributed by Gao Lijin, with snow-white skin, a flatbread-shaped goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, a soft nose bridge, a round nose, and a casual posture with shrunken shoulders and chests, and a low neck, which is slightly different from the Central Plains woman.

Concubine Han was just an ordinary palace person who served Zhu Yuanzhang at first, and she was lucky enough to give birth to a daughter, Princess Hanshan, and was named a concubine, and later gave birth to the prince Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi said vaguely: "I want to ...... Cake ...... Hawthorn...... Hawthorn cake. ”

"That's good." Queen Ma lovingly pinched Zhu Zhi's double chin and put the hawthorn cake in the palm of his hand.

Concubine Han said, "Thank you quickly, Queen Mother." ”

Zhu Zhi had forgotten his mother's entrustment so greedily that he picked up the cake and stuffed it into his mouth and ran away, everyone laughed, Concubine Han was a little sneering, and Queen Ma smiled: "This child is a glutton, very similar to Princess Huaiqing when she was a child." Time flies so fast, even Huaiqing is going to have her own child in the blink of an eye......"

Wang Yinnu looked at Zhu Zhi and Princess Hanshan under the daffodil trellis, Princess Hanshan is five years old this year, her appearance is somewhat similar to her mother, her round face is flat-nosed and her phoenix eyes, but she has more dignity as a proud daughter of the sky, Princess Hanshan is teaching her greedy brother Zhu Zhi, "Didn't you say that you want to thank the queen mother, why did you forget it again, you know how to eat, don't think about the milk cake this afternoon......"

Zhu Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, and only cared about eating hawthorn cake, although he had some baby fat double chins, he obviously had a melon seed face, a straight and towering nose bridge, deep eye sockets, double eyelids, Princess Hanshan stood with him, his appearance was very different, and he didn't look like a brother or sister at all......

Looking at Zhu Zhi's appearance, Wang Yinnu began to imagine what the unknown Yong'an County Lord looked like, she should be very beautiful, the pearl of Wu Wang Zhang Shicheng, the beautiful woman of Suzhou who was born with the spirit of Jiangnan, half a life of pampering, half a life of desolation......

And said that Princess Huaiqing, who loved beauty, rushed to the palace of the concubine to inquire, and learned that the concubine did not have terrible markings when she was pregnant, and she was relieved in her heart.

Autumn is the season of chrysanthemums and maple leaves, and a tall flower tower is built in the Imperial Garden, and various potted chrysanthemums are stacked on top of each other on the tower, like a waterfall.

Princess Huaiqing lingered in front of the Chrysanthemum Tower, "My princess's mansion also has a flower tower, but it is not as high as the imperial garden." The concubine said that she would stay in the palace for a few days, and then she would leave after she had enough chrysanthemums, but if I lived in the palace, what would the concubine think of me, and he would have to talk to the child in his belly every night. ”

Hu Shanwei said with a light smile: "The princess and the concubine are really a couple, which is enviable. ”

Princess Huaiqing was not shy, and said generously: "Of course, the horse I personally chose was not appointed by my father." ”

Princess Huaiqing cut a small light purple chrysanthemum and handed it to Hu Shanwei, "Put it on for me." ”

Hu Shanwei put the purple chrysanthemum hairpin on Huaiqing's bun, and took out the small mirror in his purse, "Princess, take a look, do you still like it?" ”

Princess Huaiqing waved her hand and said with a smile: "I can rest assured that your craftsmanship must be good-looking - in fact, you don't have to be so polite to me, you are a fellow villager and friend of the concubine, and the concubine often asks me to take care of you." I said that you are a safe person, and you are highly valued by your father and queen mother, and you don't need me to take care of you at all, maybe I and I will need you to take care of us in the future. ”

Since winning the emperor's attention, Hu Shanwei has become a celebrity in the palace, and the palace people are flattering, Hu Shanwei is unmoved, still maintains humility and kindness, and hurriedly said: "The princess is the proud daughter of the sky, I am just a female official, how dare I hold it up in front of the princess." ”

Princess Huaiqing also said casually, seeing Hu Shanwei's panicked appearance, she didn't mention it anymore, and took Hu Shanwei's hand affectionately to change the topic, and said: "The horse is about to have a birthday, I asked him what he likes and wants, and he always says that as long as I give it, he likes it." By the way, you're his long-time neighborhood friend, what does he like? ”

Hu Shanwei pondered for a moment and said: "I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, when we used to be in the Suzhou market, our family was ordinary, and we had enough food and clothing for the family in a year, and one plate of meat and vegetables in three meals a day was considered good." At that time, Wang Ning - the horse liked to eat the soup dumplings of Fengqiao Qiaotou the most, pure meat filling, wrapped in pig skin boiled and cooled skin jelly, skin jelly and meat filling wrapped together, steamed into soup, the horse was doing small work in Yao Ji Pharmacy at that time, and at the end of the month got paid, the first thing was to go to Fengqiao soup dumpling shop to satisfy hunger. ”

Princess Huaiqing sneered and said, "Are you really hungry like this? I don't like to eat this when I see a colt on weekdays. ”

Speaking of the past market time, Hu Shanwei rarely had a relaxed smile on his face, "Probably because the ingredients are different, there are more than 100 soup dumplings in Suzhou City, and the taste is different, it may be that Fengqiao's soup dumplings are against the horse's appetite, and he only eats that one." I also eat the soup dumplings in the palace from time to time, and the ones made are more exquisite than those made in Fengqiao, but they are not the taste of the year. ”

Princess Huaiqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Look, even I am hungry for what you said." I thought of inviting the cook of Fengqiao to the princess's mansion and making a birthday banquet for the horse, and he must like it. You have to keep it a secret, don't tell it, I'm going to surprise him. ”

Hu Shanwei nodded with a smile.

Princess Huaiqing is a fiery character, she will do whatever she wants, and she will immediately go out of the palace to order someone to find a cook, and she keeps asking Hu Shanwei:

"Suzhou is so big, where to find that soup dumpling shop?"

"It's over there in Hanshan Temple, 'Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship', and the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji's poem "Fengqiao Night Park" was written here."

"What else does the pony like besides soup dumplings?"

"Well, I think it's you, the princess."

"Haha, Shanwei's mouth is so sweet, no wonder the queen mother likes you so much......"

Baicaotang Pharmacy, Xu Zengshou, the second son of the Duke of Wei, said angrily: "Sister, do you really want me to go home after three visits to the thatched house?" ”

Xu Miaoyi was climbing on the bamboo ladder of the pharmacy, busy dispensing medicine up and down, "The time has not come, I can't go home now." ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Don't you think that Dad didn't come to invite him in person, holding his breath?" ”

Xu Da actually came to Xu Miaoyi secretly, and Emperor Hongwu hinted at the marriage of his daughter and Zhu Di, once the marriage was officially granted, Xu Miaoyi would definitely go home to prepare for marriage. But this matter was not easy to make public before the marriage, and even Xu Zuhui, the prince of Wei, did not know about it, let alone Xu Zengshou, who couldn't hide things like a prodigal son.

Xu Miaoyi said perfunctorily: "Then what about it, since I promised you to go home, I won't break my promise, when will you see me talking and not talking?" ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Okay, I believe you, but it can't be delayed until the New Year at the latest, and if you still refuse to go back on Chinese New Year's Eve, I will tie you home." Last year, you left the market with negative anger, and your father had a calm face on Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was no joy at home. ”

Xu Miaoyi secretly thought that the holy decree of Emperor Hongwu's marriage should have come down at that time, so she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

It was easy to send the second brother away, and a small palace attendant came to Baicaotang, flashed his waist card, and handed Xu Miaoyi a letter, "This is Hu Dianzheng's handwritten letter to Miss Xu." ”

Hu Shanwei has been promoted to the sixth grade, and he is quite respected in the palace, but as a female official, she rarely has the opportunity to go out, and she often entrusts the little attendants of the palace to bring some letters or food and other things in the palace, and every time there must be Xu Miaoyi's favorite butter snail.

Xu Miaoyi gave a reward of a lot of money, and was about to open the letter, a small sedan chair stopped at the door of the pharmacy, and the woman who got off the sedan chair covered her face with black gauze, wearing a simple autumn fragrance color sleeved robe, and a dark horse-faced skirt, with a quiet and solemn temperament, although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but Zhu Hu, who was sitting in the hall, intuitively saw that she was Wang Yinnu.

Wang Yinnu nodded lightly at Zhu Hu, "I want to see Dr. Xu." ”

Xu Miaoyi and Wang Yinnu met in the backyard, retreated from everyone, Wang Yinu silently handed over the handwriting of the county lord of Yong'an, and saw the familiar handwriting, and the past was wrapped in sadness but powerless emotions swept in.

Seeing Xu Miaoyi's expression, Wang Yinnu was sure that she was the female doctor mentioned in the handbook, "I just want to ask, what happened to this Yong'an County Lord?" ”

Xu Miaoyi held back her tears, "Difficult birth, desperately gave birth to a son, and died of blood." 166 Reading Network
