31.Chapter 31

The east is only flushed with fish belly white, the silk red glow quietly dyes the sky, and there is especially residual fragrance on the copper duck. Inside the painting screen, the gilded aromatherapy ball inside Kira's quilt was accidentally kicked on the pedal by a small white jade-like foot, making a light and crisp sound.

Han Fang, who was keeping vigil outside, had already gotten up, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly pushed the door in and called softly: "Shi Niang? ”

Su Yanyong was half-sat up, rubbed his eyes, and his sleepy voice was three points sweeter than usual, "Hanfang, what time is it?" ”

"It's two moments." Han Fang hung up the tent, turned around and turned on the candles, "It's not dawn yet, Shi Niang will sleep for a while." ”

"Is the sun out?"

"Not yet."

"That's right, it's too late to go to bed." Su Yan pushed away the embroidered quilt and wanted to get out of bed, so panicked that Hanfang helped her, put the shawl on her, and said hurriedly: "Shi Niang, wait, it's cold in the morning, you can't get out of bed like this." ”

"Wait, I'll get someone to wake you up." Hanfang thought that her little lady said that she was going to get up early to pick lotus dew for fun, but she didn't expect her to come for real.

To put it bluntly, the lotus dew is the water droplets condensed on the lotus leaves and lotus flowers by the mist at night before the sun rises. The little lady of her family said that the dew of Fuxia "is bright, the water is swollen and flattened, the chest is sharpened, and the heat is relieved." "Because the Duchess of Yasukuni Wang has been suffering from some heat in recent days, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, and she is impatient to drink medicine, and people see that she is losing weight. Her little lady wanted to get some lotus dew and cook tea for her grandmother.

When Shi Niang ordered it yesterday, Yuan Niang hurriedly dissuaded her, saying that she took the maid of Yutang Courtyard to do it, and she didn't want Shi Niang to say it yesterday, but she got up early today.

Yuan Niang was already ready, and when they were in Wu County, they had to collect lotus dew every day, and they were all cooked. Now that Su Yan is up, she can't help but be a little anxious, serving Su Yan to dress and wash, and persuading: "Shi Niang, it's okay for these miscellaneous slaves to take people to do it, why bother with you." In her opinion, her little lady should read, burn incense, play the piano, taste tea, dress up beautifully every day, go out with her girlfriends, and the rest of the chores should not be touched.

Su Yan didn't say more, she knew Yuan Niang very well, and she had always taken care of her as a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she didn't want to face up to the fact that she was already in her cardamom years, and her behavior was bound to be different from when she was a child.

"Yuan Niang, Shi Niang should go in person, this is Shi Niang's filial piety to Mrs. Guo." Tian Nushi lightly prompted, even if Shi Niang didn't plan to go in person, she still wanted to persuade her, which was good for Shi Niang.

Yuan Niang listened to Tian's words, only then did she bite down to stop her chatter, and reluctantly smiled: "Shi Niang, the slave is wrong." ”

"Yuan Niang, it's okay, let's go."

In the back garden of the Guogong Mansion, draw the living water to make a pool, it is summer, the lotus in the pond is in full bloom, and you can smell the fragrance of the lotus flower from afar.

There was already a boat by the pool, most of the servants in Su Yanyuan were serving her when Wu County, and she was very skilled in supporting the boat, and she herself was used to sitting in a small boat in Wu County. When she sat down peacefully, everyone was relieved.

A few small boats shuttled through the lotus bushes, and when the sun rose into the sky, they only took two small jars of lotus dew.

In the morning, when Wang heard that Su Yantian had gone to collect lotus dew for her before dawn, he was so moved that his eyes were red, he took her hand, and he was happy and resentful, "You kid, why are you so honest, you have to go by yourself, just let the maids go." ”

He blamed the Lu family again: "You must have known it a long time ago, and you didn't persuade her, this is still your mother?" ”

Lu said with a smile: "She loves to do these, when she was in Wu County, she collected the dew used to brew autumn dew at home every year. ”

"Auntie is such a small ......"

"Grandma, I'm thirteen years old, not young." Su Yan pursed her lips and shook Wang's hand reluctantly.

When Wang saw his granddaughter being so delicate, he quickly changed his words, "Yes, yes, our aunt is thirteen, and she is not small." She stroked Su Yan's hair lovingly, "The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the city is bustling in the capital, so let Erlang, Shiro and Wulang take you out for a walk." Young girl, don't be bored at home. ”

As soon as Su Yan was about to speak, he was nodded by Wang's lips, "Don't worry about me, Grandma is fine, with your Helu, it will be fine today." ”

Su Yan said coquettishly: "Grandma deceives people, how can it be so fast." ”

"Really, Grandma doesn't lie." Wang made a guarantee to his little granddaughter. Strange to say, I don't know if the mood affects the body, but within three days, Wang really recovered. I slept steadily, my head was no longer dizzy, I could eat, and my face was better. She was so happy that she praised Su Yan whenever she met people, and said that it was her granddaughter's filial piety that made her better so quickly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been paying attention to Su Yan, raised his thin lips slightly, tapped his long fingers on the table, and ordered: "Go and let my father know." ”

"Yes." An inconspicuous eunuch in the corner of the room replied respectfully.

Liu privately summoned his nurse Li, and complained: "Didn't you let you look at Qingyuan and Yutangyuan, why didn't you come back to me about this?" "This kind of thing that can make her daughter famous, she doesn't want to be left behind at all. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let my daughter do it alone, and it would be good if I could do it with Su Yan.

Li also regretted, "There is always a new way to play every day, either to make a flower note, or to make a flower dew." And pay attention to everything, and drink tea for a time. The day before yesterday, the slave heard from the people of the Yutang Courtyard say that Shi Niang wanted to collect lotus dew to brew autumn dew, so she thought that she was using it for winemaking, who knows...... Alas, this Shi Niang also has too many eyes. The lady ......" Li glanced at Liu and Su Rong, and stopped talking.

Su Rong smiled, "Ah Yu is saying that the tenth sister already knows about our people in the Yutang Courtyard?" ”

Li nodded, after this period of time, she felt that this Shi Niang was too capable and had a lot of eyes. Since her little lady came back, she has been pressed by her in everything, where does the old lady now regard Shi Niang as the top of her heart, and how can she still take her little lady to heart.

Then there are Shirojun and the four ladies, who are becoming more and more famous in this country's mansion, and how many people in the family go there to curry favor. But I was annoyed with the errand to Qingyuan and Yutangyuan, and I was scrambling to go one by one, didn't I want to show my face in front of Shiro and the four ladies, and I was familiar with my face.

Li lowered his voice, "Lady, you have to have an idea, you and Ah Lang are the prince and the wife of the prince of this Guogong Mansion, and the next masters of the Guogong Mansion." There is also Shi Niang...... If it goes on like this, maybe one day the crown princess's position will be snatched by her. ”

Su Rong really wanted to say something to the Liu family, so Su Yan should be allowed to fight, what a good position is the crown princess. Now looking at the infinite scenery, sooner or later there will be a day of crying.

It's just that she mentioned this matter to her grandfather and father several times, and although they believed it, they still hesitated, and they didn't let her sue her mother, and they refused to say that they would not fight for the position of the crown princess. Li's words just now reminded her that it would be good if Su Yan was to fight, anyway, the position of the crown princess had almost been decided, and it must be the second mother of the Zhu family.

Su Rong didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family in her life, but the husband she was looking for for herself recently felt that it didn't match what she imagined. Especially that day, in the princess's mansion, I met the sixth prince, the husband of Su Yan in the previous life. She found that the sixth prince actually had a good impression of her, and the two talked happily, and this prince had some thoughts so close to her, which made her a little confused.

No matter how many knots Su Rong has in his heart, as Wang's health improves, the young ladies and young ladies in the Yasukuni Mansion can also go out to play.

There are two more days is the Dragon Boat Festival, thousands of boats race on the Xingqing Pond, all the river boats are practicing here, just wait for the Dragon Boat Festival, a competition.

Naturally, the Yasukuni Mansion also had river boats to participate, and several young men in the palace participated in it, and they went to Xingqing Pond to practice every day.

Su Yan was very curious, she had only seen the river boat race when she was in Wu County, but she didn't have it at home. She stopped her fifth brother Su Zhengze, who was about to go out, and asked him to take her to see the excitement.

Of course, Su Zhengze wanted to take his sister there, but there were rules for the river boat, and women could not go up, at least not before the competition. He rubbed his hands together and said in a tangled way: "Auntie, that ......"

Su Yan understood when he saw it, and said very considerately: "I don't get on the boat, just watch it from the shore." ”

happened to meet Su Zhengyuan with Su Rong out, Su Rong was wearing a hat, and when he saw the two brothers and sisters, he couldn't help laughing: "There is a painting boat in our house, and the tenth sister and I can just watch it on the painting boat." ”

"Yes." Su Yan turned around lightly, "I'll go and tell A-Niang, Elder Brother Lao and Seventh Sister will wait for me." ”

Su Rong smiled and raised her voice: "Tenth sister, slow down, don't fall, I'll wait for you." ”
