This night was turbulent, people spent it in chaos, and when Wanwan returned to the eldest princess's mansion, it was already half of the night. She was busy making the bed and smoking the mattress and placing her to lie down, and she lay on her back on the big stepping bed, tossing and turning, and it was always difficult to sleep. The qiē she had experienced before was like a wheel, rolling back and forth in front of her eyes, and the panic slowly calmed down until the sky was slightly bright, and she closed her eyes for a while.

The rain poured down and continued all night, as if it were back to the month before the death of the eldest brother, and the sky was gray, and there was no daylight or hope in sight. She lies there, she will wake up every quarter of an hour, there is no queen mother to serve, she is the largest in this princess's mansion, if she can't get up, she doesn't have to force herself, she can heal in the futon, maybe she can get better faster.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion is built in Dashamao Lane, and Pearl Lake is across a Chengxian Street. Wanwan had never been so close to the market, and with her eyes closed, she could hear the sound of pedestrians outside, and the crunch of bells on the bridles of mules and horses.

A long voice accompanied by the sound of the bamboo board drifted far away, "Selling wine brewing - osmanthus wine brewing ......" is very distinct Wu language, even if it comes from a man's mouth, it has a soft taste.

Wanwan knows that wine is sweet wine, and the concubines in the palace have a home remedy, and after boiling it, beat an egg into it, which is said to have the wonderful use of breast enrichment. She tasted it in Yinlou, it was very sweet and delicious, especially the taste, which was completely different from wine. It's a pity that she drank too badly, drank a small cup, went back and slept for most of the day, and she really didn't drink a drop of wine.

The sound of selling drifted into my ears, and I smelled it almost immediately, and even the pillow was filled with that sweet smell.

There are many unsatisfactory places in her life, but it is gratifying to have come so far and live here by virtue of her descent. She listened quietly to the people outside, and even the sound of the raindrops hitting the tarpaulin could be distinguished. I wonder if it's raining again? It turned out that someone came with an umbrella and went to the bottom of the corridor.

"Did you get up?" It was the voice of Mama Qin on the second door.

Xiao You said no, "Yesterday, it was the fourth watch, and it was dawn before I closed my eyes, and told her to sleep more." ”

"What can I do about this...... If something happens outside, you have to see it yourself. ”

Xiao You snorted, "It's the moth of Nanyuan Wangfu again?" Don't look at people as fools, yesterday there was a day of starry fighting, and today eighty percent of the heart and eyes are leaning up, and Mama still believes that! ”

Mama Qin said no, "The two young masters came to greet His Royal Highness, and when they walked to the Pearl Bridge, the second master startled the horse and went into the river." In order to save him, the uncle went into the water to catch people, and the brothers and sons made them look like water chickens...... In this climate, if it rains, it will still be sick, and if it falls into the water, will it be okay? Fortunately, it's all right, but it's so cold that I can't open my teeth, and when I come in, I don't look like it, and I look at the pitiful one. According to me, no matter how I came to ask His Highness for peace, if something goes wrong, it will not be easy for the other side to explain......"

Xiao You was stunned for a moment, but still insisted on it, "There is really such a coincidence in the world, I think there is a master to guide me." ”

Mama Qin disagreed, "There is another thing that adults say about making a bitter trick, it is a seven or eight-year-old child, and if they make a bad mess, their lives will be gone, who can teach them like this!" You are a person, the knife mouth is weighing the heart, if there is a creation in the future, marrying a son-in-law and having children, I see you still say so! ”

They were still bickering there, and Wanwan had already approved the clothes and came out.

"Where are these people? Does it matter? ”

Mama Qin said: "Yu Chengfeng arranged for them to rest in the front wing, and sent the medical officer to check the pulse, and the slave maid didn't know if it was good or not, so she went here first to report the news." ”

She didn't finish listening, and hurried forward. When I had a quarrel with Yu Wenliang, I had no more to do with the child. The child is here to fulfill filial piety, there is really a good one, she can't get over it in her heart.

There were many people waiting outside the door of the wing, including those from the eldest princess's mansion and Goshha (1). Seeing her coming, they hurriedly got out of the way, and saluted her one after another, but she didn't care, and asked about the situation when she entered the room. Yu Qiyao lowered his sleeves and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the two young masters were frightened, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and their bodies are fine for the time being." But we have to see, if you don't have a fever in the second half of the night, it doesn't matter. ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and touched the heads of the two children, and asked them gently, "Nothing hurts?" If you don't feel comfortable, be sure to tell the doctor. ”

Lan Ting shook his head and said no, "Xie En inquired." ”

Lan Zhou struggled up, knelt on the bed and saluted her, "The sons are here to ask for peace to Enie, but I didn't expect this accident to happen, but I told Ene to worry about his sons, and the sons deserve to die." ”

He looked like a little adult, and he looked at it with love and pity, "That's not what you said, you have me in your eyes, so you braved the rain to look at me." It's not easy to walk on the road, and there is a mess, how can I explain it to the concubine! Fortunately, everything is safe, you can be careful in the future, you don't have to come over if the wind and rain are strong, I know that your filial piety will be achieved. ”

Lan Zhou was very stubborn, "Ama has taught us to keep filial piety since we were children, and the elders will be determined in the morning and dusk, and a day will not fall." Ene feels sorry for his sons, it is the creation of his sons, but if the sons don't know what to do with Enie's love, then the sons should die. ”

Lan Ting looked at his brother, he was busy doing everything, knelt on the bed and said, "Sons should die." Wanwan couldn't help laughing, it's really not easy for such a big child to be taught full of rules. Hurriedly comforted them: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about those ones first, lie down, and then worry about it when you warm up." I won't go to school today, and I have to send someone to report my safety to the concubine. ”

Lan Zhou looked at the door, and his personal servant immediately grinned and cried, "Go to the slave, take care of it." It's just that the old lady knows, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a hurry. The master had asthma, and the old monk gave him a good meal at sea, and he was not allowed to suffer from the cold for three years. It's going to be good, after two years of hard work, it's all gone, and I don't know what to do later. ”

Wanwan was stunned, turned her head and asked Lan Zhou, "Are you not well?" How can you still have asthma? ”

He smiled, "Don't listen to him say that the wind is the rain, there is asthma, Qing Xiao was strict for a while, and he had an attack as soon as the sky changed, and then he slowly raised it......" While saying, he glared at the little guy, "Changbao, you talk more, see if the master doesn't beat you!" ”

Changbao rubbed his nose and said yes, took two steps back and said: "Hengzhi can't suffer the cold anymore, the cold has entered the lungs, and the rest of his life will be over, remember the old lady's words." ”

Listen Wanwan, it's hard to do now, a good child, there is such a root cause. Hurriedly asked the medical officer to take a look again, the medical officer meant not to have a seizure, and he couldn't see it for the time being, so he had to wait for him to catch his breath before he could prescribe the right medicine.

She stood there frowning, waving her hand, and dismissed everyone. The maidservant girl brought a porcelain stool, and she sat down in front of the bed and asked them, "Why didn't you sit in a sedan chair when you came?" It's so bad to ride a horse, even if you wear oily clothes. ”

Lan Ting smiled, revealing the gums with missing front teeth, "Our buddies are men, and women can only sit in sedan chairs!" ”

Lan Zhou thought he was rude, and gave him a look, and when he saw it, he stopped talking, so he rolled and rolled to the inside of the bed.

It's still Lan Zhou's eloquence, "I don't know how to get to the bridge today, the gust of wind is particularly strong." Brother Ting was confused, the bow horse was not good, the reins were not controlled, and the five-flowered horse lost its front hooves, so he left him down. When the son saw that the situation was urgent, he jumped after him before he had time to think about it, so both of them made a mess and appeared in front of Enie and asked Ene to punish him. ”

Of course, she wouldn't know that Lan Ting's horse stumbled on the horse's feet because he shot the horse's feet, and the two of them have known water since they were young, and as soon as they plunged down, the mussels and snails on the riverbed could pick a basket casually. It's just that this month Ling fell into the water, and it was a little colder, but if there was no such premise, it would be difficult to stay in the Eldest Princess's Mansion. As for that asthma, it's all a long-term blind break, his body is notoriously good, and he hasn't been sick since he was born. Not to mention the water in early spring, even if you go down to the river in winter, it's not a big deal.

He coughed twice at the right time, and Lan Ting behind him also gnawed and coughed, Wanwan panicked, and turned around to send someone: "Hurry up and boil ginger soup for the two masters to ward off the cold." While settling them to sleep, "Good boy, it's hard for you." I didn't know it first, but my mother came and went back to me, and I heard that you fell into the water, which really scared me. You are so well-behaved, how can I punish you, just rest, and don't go back today, lest you run around on the road and your body can't stand it. ”

Lan Zhou tapped on the bed board to kowtow in gratitude, "Ama is strict, it's better to treat his sons." The son still has a thought, and he wants to ask Enie to show it. ”

Wanwan bowed: "You say, what's the matter, let's discuss it." ”

He licked his lips and said, "Ene lives alone in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, although the mansion is heavily guarded, but it is lonely after all. At this time, please go back to the palace, for fear that Ene will not agree, the son wants to, or the son, or Brother Ting, leave one, first, to be filial to the front of the Emne, and secondly, to support the door for Emne, which is also a test for the son. ”

Wanwan listened to him say this, and was amazed at his clarity of organization. This child is only eight years old, and even if someone deliberately teaches him, I am afraid he may not remember it. He is good, he thinks carefully every word, and even compared with those princes in the palace, he will never fall behind.

Yu Wenliang was not very good, but Zixi became a talent, and it was really bad that there were good bricks in the kiln. She smiled and stroked his forehead, "You've thought about it very well, let's talk about this later." You need to rest now, and the most important thing is to take care of your body. I just heard what the kid said about the sea prescription, did you ask someone to complete the prescription, and then take two doses? ”

He shook his head, a pair of big eyes flashing on his delicate little face, and a ring of gold shining, exactly like his father.

"That recipe is long gone, and the monk said that there is no need to keep it after taking ten doses, so it will be fine." Yan smiled and showed a pair of pointed tiger teeth, "Don't worry about me, my son is strong and strong, this idea is a small ordeal, it doesn't matter." ”

The girl is really kind, this eldest princess is not as invincible as he expected, no wonder Amma likes her so much. And her hand, soft and warm, he never knew that a woman's hand was like this, falling on his forehead, as light as a feather. It is a kind of tranquility that is cultivated by the honor of the unnoble, and it is too beautiful, how can it not make people jealous.

She sat for a while, talking to him one by one, in a soft tone, without the slightest gesture. Tell him to be obedient, don't get out of bed today, just lie on the bed with his brother, and let people bring him over for food and drink. Maybe this is the experience she has summed up for more than ten years, she goes to bed when she is sad, she goes to bed when she is frightened, and she has to go to bed even more when she is sick, and nesting in the futon is the best recuperation.

After she left, Lan Ting poked her head out, "Brother, this stepmother doesn't look bad." ”

Lan Zhou glanced back at him, "What stepmother, according to her reputation, she is closer than our mother." ”

"Isn't this kind of thing an empty shelf? I don't think she is better than my mother, my mother is in line with my spleen and stomach, and I will be filial to her in the future. ”

"You don't have to be filial about this? Clan relatives don't drown you with spit! ”

Lan Ting pillowed his arm on the back of his head and cocked Erlang's legs, "If you don't study today, let us lie on the bed, and I don't know if I'm blessed." It's just that when I fell into the water, it was a little colder, and I almost didn't freeze to death...... Do you think she'll let us stay? ”

Lan Zhou twisted his eyebrows and calculated, "It's impossible to stay with both, after all, the palace also has to settle the province in the morning and dusk." After thinking for a while, he said, "If I can only take one of them, I'll stay." ”

Lan Ting asked why, "Ama still praises you for coming as an arm, and if you stay in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, you won't care about the affairs of the army?" ”

He really threw himself at this brother, "What are you doing to eat?" All day long, you know what to fight on a small bamboo pole on the Nagasaka slope, and you should also serve in front of Amma. As for why I stayed, I was smarter than you and could help Amma beat the side drums. What about you? Thinking about honoring your own mother, if you don't have the heart to be a filial son and grandson, don't mess up here. ”

Lan Ting had nothing to say, muttering in his heart, don't you just want to recognize the eldest princess as a mother, the future is close to the sky, you want to reach the moon! But I didn't dare to say it, and I was beaten up again when I said it, and the gains outweighed the losses. For people who are not enterprising, hiding behind is always the safest, and today I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and fell into the water together, and there will probably be nothing to do in the future.

Wanwan received a letter from the palace, which was written to her by the emperor, in the form of a family letter, in an envelope, on which was politely written "Imperial Sister Jun Qinqi".

Pushing open a window, she leaned under the window to read the letter, the banana leaves outside were rustling, she held her cheeks, looked down line by line, and said that she had been away from the palace for more than a month, and she missed her brother very much. Yao remembered how carefree he was in front of his parents when he was a child, and now he can't breathe because of the pressure of Jiangshan Sheji. The queen was sick and was hit by a yin person, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and she couldn't even recognize people a few days ago. Last time, she took off her phoenix crown, and the large and small pearls on it were ground with powder, poor and generous, and distributed them to the concubines and concubines of the palace, please take them to wipe their faces. Sometimes he beat people, and he went to see her once, and she held a peachwood sword and chased him all over the world - the queen was a martial madman. He is very distressed now, he doesn't know what to do in the future, he canonized the queen, if he doesn't have it, she can't even manage herself, and she doesn't expect her mother to be the world. Finally, I asked my little sister Ann, are you used to Nanyuan's meals? How are the colts treating you? There are two cooks with the faith, which I have personally tasted, and the craftsmanship is excellent.

Wanwan sat there and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Thinking about it, the nose is straight and sour, and the sound building is crazy, probably driven crazy by the predicament. She was fine on the day she landed, and said a lot of words to persuade her, but when it happened to herself, she couldn't think about it. They were scattered in two places, each suffering from it, and who could save the other. She didn't have a letter, she could only learn about it from the emperor's family letters, and she couldn't even write words to comfort her. As for the emperor...... This brother is always unexpected, there are people who send gold and silver, I have never seen two cooks who have traveled thousands of miles to send him, saying that he is ridiculous, people are really thinking about you, but they can take care of your taste, but they can't take care of your happiness.

She went to the bookcase to study the ink and pick up the pen, and naturally reported the good news but not the bad news, saying that the water and soil are very convincing, and she also likes the mountains and rivers and markets in the south of the Yangtze River. The concubine treats her very well, the concubine is amiable, she is smooth, please don't have to remember it. Yinlou is embarrassed by the queen's throne, and the emperor does not need to be persistent, please focus on the overall situation and choose another virtuous.

The copper ring was waiting for the pen and ink on the side, and when he saw her admonishing like this, he smiled: "Your Highness's heart really pretends to be the world at all times." ”

She put down the pen, waited for the ink to dry, and said gloomily: "The love in the boudoir is important, but compared to the society, it is limited after all. Yinlou shouldn't have been a queen in the first place, and sitting on this throne was not a blessing for her, but a shackle. She's crazy......" she sobbed softly, "she's not a narrow-minded person, how can she's crazy...... Or maybe you want to make Xian, deliberately pretending. ”

Tonghuan pursed her lips and was silent, many times she seemed too sharp, not that her sensitivity was bad, but if she used it improperly, she would hurt others and herself.

Pack up the letter and send it out, because it is all commonplace, and I am not afraid that someone will intercept it and peek at it. As soon as I finished cooking here, a word came in from the front, saying that the uncle had a fever and looked like he was going to get sick.

She got up and rushed over and asked the second master how he was, and the people at the bottom said that the second master was fine, and he was jumping around and picking toons with someone.

"Isn't there anyone in the palace?"

Yu Qiyao said: "The old lady let me talk, and when His Royal Highness asked, he said that the boy is resistant to beating, as long as he doesn't die, there is no need to make a fuss." ”

Wanwan felt incredible, "The old lady's heart is also a little bigger, people fall from the bridge into the river, don't you take it seriously?" ”

Tonghuan smiled: "It's the old lady who loves you, this is to show her position, after all, the two young masters are concubines, and they make a baby in front of you, won't it make you feel bad?" Cats and dogs are raised, it all depends on what you mean, because you know that you are kind and generous, and will not embarrass the child, they will naturally let go, and you will not be misunderstood, saying that the mother is difficult. ”

She tugged at the corners of her lips when she heard this, "The people of Nanyuan Wangfu are really calculating." In order to make me comfortable, he didn't even care about the life or death of the child. I know her thoughts, the two masters take the lead, and the people behind are good at acting. It's a pity that I don't eat that, and even if he comes, he still can't get in. ”

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had said this earlier, and as soon as she stepped into the chamber, there was already someone in front of Lan Zhou's bed, he was wearing Shi Qing's regular clothes, with a belt around his waist, and a python on his arm, standing there, as resolute as a mountain.

Her heart was shocked, and just as she wanted to turn around, he took the first step to stop her and waved his hand to salute her, "Lan Zhou is sick, it is not appropriate to move for the time being, it should have been passed on to the Tala clan to take care of it, but I was afraid that the concubine would be informable, and I bumped into His Highness." Thinking about it, it's better for me to take care of it personally, so from now on, I want to borrow His Highness's treasure land, and I also ask His Highness to make it convenient to take in our father and son. ”
