Chapter 68: Sixty-Eight Stomach Problems
For this kind of thing, there is no need to have the truth about Semir in the first place, it is enough to make people talk about it and be interesting. Of course, considering that this matter involves royal secrets, and it involves the emperor, everyone does not dare to talk about it on the bright side, but because it involves a level that ordinary people can never reach, such a thing is attractive enough to say.
On the surface, he looked at the calm waves, but in private, he was already rumored and spreading.
On the contrary, it is because the family rules in the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang are strict, and it may be because of the close relationship with the palace, the servants and servants at the bottom do not dare to start discussing when it comes to sensitive political topics, maybe there are, but they don't dare to talk about it in front of the master.
When Fleur heard the second story after the fermentation, she felt a little worried, but she didn't know how far this rumor had fermented.
It wasn't until Xia Yuelang rarely returned home from the barracks and inadvertently talked to her about this incident that Fu Hui knew what this messy rumor had become in Beijing.
In the face of this matter, although Xia Yuelang didn't like Zhao Jinyan, he didn't gloat, but criticized the matter: "If you want me to say, this matter, the emperor should take care of it, arrest all the people who walk and gossip, kill a few to set an example, and see who dares to say no." β
After listening to Xia Yuelang's words, Fu Hui showed a smile on her originally worried face, and only looked at Xia Yuelang with a happy look, but this look made Xia Yuelang confused.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Xia Yuelang was embarrassed to look at, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head.
But Fu Yuan smiled and pushed the dim sum on the table that had been eaten by Xia Yuelang in the direction of Xia Yuelang, and said softly: "Brother, I'm very happy, I feel like you're sensible." β
If it was in the past, Xia Yuelang would definitely not be able to say such a thing. Of course, this is indeed a bit naΓ―ve and ignorant, but at least in general, Xia Yuelang's perspective on the problem is not so naΓ―ve.
Xia Yuelang just said his heart, how did he know that he could be praised by Fu Yuan so well, he was naturally happy in his heart, but he still said awkwardly: "Sister, you say this about me, it's weird, I'm your brother......"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Fleur smiled and nodded, but she didn't think so. To be honest, Fu Hui has always regarded Xia Yuelang, his brother, as his younger brother, at least psychologically, Xia Yuelang has always been too naΓ―ve.
And although Xia Yuelang felt awkward about this, he didn't care about this matter in the end, seeing that Fu Hui responded perfunctorily, he was relieved, just smiled and picked up another piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I have asked my mother and I for instructions just now, it is rare to return home, I will take you to go outside for a walk, and by the way, I will take you to the jewelry store to buy some things." β
When Fleur heard this, she was naturally overjoyed.
Although the restrictions on women in this dynasty are not as tight as in the previous dynasty, the women of the family still have a lot of rules, especially the young ladies of the family who have not left the cabinet, and they can't go out casually, even if they really go out occasionally, they also need to be accompanied by the older female elders or male fathers and brothers in the family.
The eldest princess of Jinyang is actually a very strict person, and she has never been interested in playing outside. Fleur's temperament would not have taken the initiative to make such a request. On the contrary, it was Xia Yuelang, who took Hibiscus to play outside a few times, and I don't know if it was because when he took Hibiscus, Xia Yuelang would be rare and calm, and nothing happened to him a few times, so the eldest princess of Jinyang did not prohibit Xia Yuelang from taking Furui out for a walk.
If it is cold today, it is not a good time to go to the suburbs or to the temple to make incense, but it is still okay to go to the jewelry store.
Of course, this visit to the jewelry store to buy jewelry, personally go out in a person like them, it is inevitable that there is a bit of a toss, completely directly let the shopkeeper bring the jewelry to the home to buy, the reason why I go out in person, in fact, is just to take the opportunity to go to the jewelry store, by the way to sit in the carriage shopping, if you can also go to the restaurant box to sit, taste the taste of the outside.
Rao is a well-behaved and calm person who has always been well-behaved and calm on weekdays, but in the end she is still an innocent age, and when she heard Xia Yuelang's mention, she was so surprised that she called the maid to come in and dress her up. It is not possible to dress up at home when you go out, but it should not be as grand as entering the palace, Fu Hui chose a few not expensive but decent jewelry to change her belt, and chose a low-key clothes to wear, let the maids sort out the jewelry that went out, and then got into the carriage and went out with Xia Yuelang.
Although the jewelry in the jewelry store is exquisite, the level of Furui is the jewelry made by the palace, and there are countless jewelry boxes, so I didn't get lost and stayed for too long, but I symbolically picked a few things, and chose two for the eldest princess of Jinyang, so I didn't continue to choose.
Seeing this, Xia Yuelang was not reluctant, he picked up a few things that he was optimistic about, and felt that it was suitable for Fu Hui and the eldest princess of Jinyang, so that the shopkeeper settled the account together and left with Fu Rui, and went to a restaurant not far from the jewelry store.
As soon as he walked into the box, after taking off the gauze hat on Fleur's head, Xia Yuelang couldn't wait to offer treasure to Fleur: "Sister, this restaurant has launched a few new specialties, and I'll let the store make them for you to taste later." β
"Hmm."
Fleur smiled and looked at the restaurant, which was still the first time to come.
The decoration of the restaurant is not gorgeous, but it is a little elegant. The private rooms are not rooms one by one, but are separated by several screens. But the best thing is these screens, on the screens, all kinds of ink and oil painting paintings, look, the skills are still very good.
Xia Yuelang looked at Fu Rui and was interested in this painting, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sister, this restaurant is often patronized by a lot of readers, and the owner of this restaurant is also a second person. β
Fleur looked at it, and it was really so.
The screen is painted, and the box partition is also made, which is extremely elegant, but it is not necessarily all good, at least the sound insulation effect is average.
Fleur sat in the box, and she could clearly hear the voice next to her.
She didn't want to do this kind of voyeuristic and eavesdropping thing, but in the box on one side, she happened to hear something in her ears: "You said that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, if he is not the son of the first emperor, then the royal family is not good-looking?" β
"What does this have to do with this, as long as you marry a queen with royal blood, the child born will not still have the blood of their old Zhao family?"
Later, the person who spoke was obviously a little drunk, and when he spoke, his voice was a little chaotic, "Our Jingli, the two closest to the royal family, one is the eldest princess of Jinyang...... One is the daughter of Princess Linxi, if you want me to say, it is time for the emperor to marry, and whoever has children will be fine when the time comes, and let their cousin Empress E's daughter serve together...... Isn't that wonderful! β
"What you think is so beautiful, but our emperor is more beautiful, so who will be the queen......
Furao listened, her face couldn't help but darken, and Xia Yuelang, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help it directly, he clenched his fists, slammed his fist on the table, and stood up directly to find out the posture of the gossiping person to settle accounts.
Fu Rui hurriedly grabbed Xia Yuelang and stopped softly: "Brother......"
"Fleur, you sit, I have to knock out the teeth of those two people, see if they dare to talk nonsense!"
When Xia Yuelang encounters the matter of Fuyuan, it is always inevitable to be impulsive, not to mention, the broken words of those people today are really too much.
Naturally, Fu Yuan would not be happy, but she had to stop Xia Yuelang, after all, this matter was a big trouble, but it was not good-looking......
But Xia Yuelang was really angry and impulsive, where could Fleur stop her, before Furao said this, Xia Yuelang had already walked to the door: "Sister, don't care, I see who dares to gossip about you......"
Fu Yuan watched Xia Yuelang walk out, and just wanted to go up to catch up, but suddenly a person at the door suddenly appeared and stopped Xia Yuelang.
Xia Yuelang was angry, and he was about to push people away when he saw them, but he heard someone say: "Shizi, your cousin invites you to sit in his box." β
"Cousin......
Fu Yuan stood beside Xia Yuelang, a trace of confusion flashed on her face, and Xia Yuelang also looked puzzled.
But soon Fleur thought of a possibility, the person in front of him who was dressed as a guard looked like a son of a family, and the person who dared to claim to be their brother and sister cousin so arrogantly, to be honest, there were really not a few in the capital.
The combination of the two makes a person's name come out.
But isn't that one supposed to be in the palace?
"The one who wants to see my brother, but his surname is Zhao?"
Fleur asked politely. And when Xia Yuelang heard Fu Yuan's words, he was also stunned.
The man nodded.
When they heard this, Fu Hui and Xia Yuelang didn't dare to say anything more. Xia Yuelang was reluctant, so he could only obediently pull Fu Hui into a box next to them.
The dress in this box was no different from the one they had just stayed in, and the one sitting in the box was indeed Zhao Jinyan, who had changed into a dragon robe and put on civilian clothes.
Zhao Jinyan raised his head when he heard the movement of the comer, but it was not surprising that Fu Hui would also appear with Xia Yuelang.
However, when he saw Fleur's dress, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, this was the first time she had seen Fleur's dress. In the past, he had seen Fleur's grand dress when she entered the palace, and he had also seen Fleur's home dress that had not been changed when she was at home, but it was the first time he saw it like an ordinary lady who had not left the pavilion...... Unexpectedly, it fits Fluffie very well.
But Zhao Jinyan glanced at it a few times, and then withdrew his gaze, at least it was not good to continue to look more.
He moved his gaze to Xia Yuelang, who was standing next to Fu Hui and had been keeping his head down since he entered the door, only smiled and stopped the two brothers and sisters from saluting, and said with a smile: "When you go out, you don't have to be polite, sit down!" β
Fu Hui and Xia Yuelang were not cramped when they heard Zhao Jinyan's approachable words, but they were a little embarrassed when they heard Zhao Jinyan let them all sit down.
Fu Hui was even more embarrassed than Xia Yuelang, after all, the words of those people just now involved her and Zhao Jinyan a little. She tried her best to calm down, but when she thought that Zhao Jinyan must have heard Fang Cai's words, her face was inevitably a little strange.
Zhao Jinyan looked at the Fu brothers and sisters quietly, and when she saw the embarrassment on Fu Fu's face, she understood that Fang Cai's matter made her uncomfortable.
He didn't mention anything about Fang Cai, just as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "It's hard for me to get out of the palace, but I didn't expect to meet my cousin and cousin so coincidentally, why don't you taste the meal of this restaurant together." β
"Yes."
Seeing that Zhao Jinyan didn't mean to mention Fang Cai's matter, Fu Hui also complied with the meaning, she only secretly pulled Xia Yuelang, who still wanted to speak, and motioned him to keep his mouth shut.
Of course, Xia Yuelang was unwilling, but he rarely thought of Fu Yuan's embarrassment, so he nodded reluctantly.
Zhao Jinyan came earlier than Xia Yuelang and Fu Yuan, so the things ordered were brought to Fu Yuan not long after they entered this box, naturally it was not Xiao Er who sent it into the box, but by the guards guarding the door of the box.
Zhao Jinyan smiled and said from Fu Lang and Xia Yuelang: "Don't be restrained, Yue Lang and Fu Lang are just casual." β
said so, but how can it be really arbitrary, anyway, Fu Hui and Xia Yuelang are not at will.
It's okay for Fu Yuan, after all, when he first entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager, he also ate at the same table with Zhao Jinyan many times, but Xia Yuelang had very few opportunities to eat at the same table with Zhao Jinyan, and he himself and Zhao Jinyan were not on good terms, but secondly, it was a matter of talent, and he still felt uncomfortable. So after a few sips, Xia Yuelang used the excuse of "changing clothes" to get out of the box.
But Xia Yuelang regretted a little as soon as he got out of the box, why did he keep his sister in the box. can regret and regret, Xia Yuelang will definitely not be able to go back at this time.
After Xia Yuelang left, the embarrassment on her face became even worse, she originally came out with the intention of tasting the flavor outside, and she also wanted to be more comfortable.
At this time, all the signature meals in this restaurant are served, but she is not in the mood to taste them.
She lowered her head and only ate the dish in front of her, silent, but Zhao Jinyan suddenly took a piece of roast duck meat with sauce with chopsticks and put it into Fleur's bowl, looking at Fleur Furao's head, he smiled and said: "This duck meat is made with a unique flavor, cousin taste it." β
Fleur nodded, picked it up and took a small bite in her mouth.
The duck meat is indeed delicious and tender, and the sauce on the duck meat is sweet and salty, and the aftertaste is full. But this duck meat was not broken off the bones, and it was cut into very large pieces, Fleur was taught to eat elegantly since she was a child, and this duck meat did not fit for her to eat elegantly.
Fleur ate it carefully, but didn't notice that after the duck meat was eaten, the sauce accidentally got some on the corners of her mouth.
After she finished eating, in order to show that she was indeed using the duck meat that Zhao Jinyan had sandwiched for her, she deliberately raised her head, and whispered to Zhao Jinyan with a smile on her face: "The duck meat is indeed delicious, thank you to the emperor, the emperor, you also use more." β
Fleur's skin is as white as frost, and the skin on her face is even more white and flawless, and she smiles elegantly, so the traces on her face become more and more obvious, Zhao Jinyan found this when Fleur raised his head, he just wanted to remind, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that Fleur would be even more uncomfortable, so he swallowed the words in his throat, but his gaze couldn't help but drift to Fleur's face.
Zhao Jinyan looked at it, but he didn't feel disliked, on the contrary, he felt that his cousin, who had always been calm and well-behaved, was really cute.
He thought, but his hand was involuntarily, and he picked up a piece of sauce duck and put it in the bowl of Fleur.
The amount of hibiscus is not large, and it is light on weekdays, although this sauce duck is not greasy, and the taste is good, but such a large piece and it is full of meat, but it was Zhao Jinyan who gave it to her, she had to use it up, she had already been a little determined to solve this large piece of duck meat, who knows, this piece of duck meat has not yet taken a second bite, the second piece of duck meat actually fell from the sky, and look, it is much bigger than the one she holds on her chopsticks......
The piece of duck meat in Fleur's hand was unstable, and it fell directly into the bowl again, just piling up with the second piece of duck meat, and the person actually filled most of the small bowl in front of him.
She raised her head, Zhao Jinyan had a little smile in her eyes, and only said softly to her: "Cousin likes it, so use it more." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Fleur replied.
At this time, she really didn't care about the embarrassment, and her eyes were full of thoughts, thinking about how to solve the two pieces of duck meat in the bowl.
So for the next time, the box was quiet, and only Fleur was immersed in hard work.
And Zhao Jinyan looked at Fleur only bowing her head and nibbling on the two pieces of duck meat, although he thought that Fleur was very cute to concentrate on eating in small bites, but Fleur didn't even raise her head, only focused on eating duck meat, he thought Fleur was embarrassed again. Zhao Jinyan thought about it, and then used chopsticks to pick up a lot of other dishes from the table and put them into Hibiscus's bowl, and said softly: "Although the duck meat is delicious, my cousin can also try other dishes, and the taste is also good." β
"Good ......"
Fleur really wanted to drop her chopsticks and leave, but she didn't dare, so she could only watch the bowl that had just been a little shallow after she had destroyed a piece of duck meat fill up again.
This meal, Fleur had no accident and ate it.
Xia Yuelang's change of clothes also took a long time to come back, and Furao felt so happy to see her brother for the first time.
But she didn't be happy for long, when Xia Yuelang saw Fluffie, she looked at the sauce on her sister's face with a surprised face, and only fussed: "Sister, why do you eat so much ......"
"......" Fleur subconsciously reached out to touch it, and then the whole person stiffened.
Fu Hui didn't know how she took the warm towel handed by Zhao Jinyan to wipe off the marks on the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't remember how she was taken out of the restaurant by Xia Yuelang and got into the carriage home, and when she returned to her place, she was already sitting in her room.
And my stomach began to ache faintly......
Not long after Zhao Jinyan returned to the palace, he changed his clothes and read a few letters, and then he heard the people below whisper to him: "Your Majesty, the steward in the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang just took the brand of the eldest princess to the hospital and invited the imperial doctor to go back. β
"Aunt is unwell?"
Zhao Jinyan put down his pen and ink and looked up at the person who returned to him.
The person who replied immediately replied softly: "It's not that the eldest princess is unwell, it seems that the lord of Nanyi County has a stomach problem. β
