The one hundred and twenty-first table, leave a sachet on the table
The one hundred and twenty-first table case left a sachet
Qin Ying read a small volume of "Acupuncture A and B Sutra" in the afternoon, and was very satisfied.
Seeing that the sky outside the window was getting a little darker, Qin Ying stretched her waist, got up and took a pine oil lamp from the chest of drawers, and sat down at the table again.
When the master left, he just took the door of her Xunzi room shut, and anyone could come in through the outer door.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood outside and knocked on the door for a long time, and when no one answered inside, he simply raised his hand to push the door.
At this time, the palace attendants and maidservants who were working in the backyard of the Hanlin Courtyard gathered under a flower tree.
The good-faced official and maid whispered: "This Lang Jun with bad legs and feet and Lord Qin are old acquaintances?" Just now I went to the front yard to deliver snacks, and when I saw him enter the hospital, I found someone and asked, where is Qin Ying and Qin's edict. ”
A palace attendant of the same age as her said: "The guards of the Hanlin Academy have always been strict, except for court officials like Li Taishi, no one else can enter lightly. However, this Lang Jun didn't wear an official uniform, why was he put in? ”
Another palace attendant who looked quite shrewd said: "Maybe it's because he sacrifices the name of Lord Qin."
Hearing the creaking of the door shaft, Qin Ying raised his head casually, and saw Li Chengqian standing on the side of the door.
Qin Ying snapped the scroll shut, got up with both hands, walked in front of Li Chengqian and knelt down:
“…… How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to the Humble House in person? Maybe she hadn't seen him for a long time, but her tone of voice to him had become unfamiliar to the beginning.
Li Chengqian listened to Qin Ying's respectful and polite words, he pursed the corners of his lips and said, "I guess that a certain person who has risen to the top is not happy, so he came over to find out, and when I saw it today, it was really the case." ”
Qin Ying didn't wait for him to call him to get up, so he quietly lifted the hem of his robe and laid out a seat for him.
She knew that Li Chengqian, who was lying on the couch all day long, walked from the East Palace to the Hanlin Courtyard alone, and needed not only a physical position, but also mental perseverance. He doesn't say it, but that doesn't mean she can pretend not to see.
"There is a note of His Royal Highness Prince Lao." Two layers of soft blankets were placed on the cushion beside Li Chengqian, and Qin Ying saluted.
Li Chengqian was not polite, he slowly sat down with his somewhat stiff knees, and said, "Listen to A-Niang, you will leave the palace tomorrow." Will you be back? ”
She hung her head, and her bright eyes never looked at the other party: "On the first day of entering the palace, I made a promise to His Majesty that before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovers from his illness, Qin will never leave lightly." ”
The words are extremely respectful, but there are no eyes that match them, which can't help but make people dissatisfied.
Li Chengqian leaned over, took a small white porcelain cup on the case for himself, added a cup of warm water, and said, "...... Regarding the lynching in Dali Temple, you still complain about me? ”
He didn't call himself Bengong, that is, he was now standing on an equal footing, and asked Qin Ying this sentence.
"Qin Ying doesn't dare." She shook her head, then pushed a plate of snacks to him. Qin Ying felt that he had come all the way over, and in addition to being thirsty, he would also be a little hungry.
He had an expressionless face, and said solemnly: "Where do you dare." I can refute my words in front of others in Dali Temple Prison, and I can plead to my Aya without humility or arrogance in the imperial study. If you ask any of them, they are enough for you to not eat and walk around. ”
Qin Ying tilted her head slightly, and a vague smile opened on her lips: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here on purpose to catch up on the old days?" ”
She wasn't used to feeling like she was on an equal footing with him. This made her feel an inexplicable panic in her heart.
In the previous life, they transcended the relationship between the monarch and the minister. She thought she was a friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But even before she was sentenced, she didn't see him once in Dali Temple Prison.
Mourning is greater than heart death, she doesn't dare to be the same as in the past, too close to him again.
Li Chengqian didn't like to eat food other than refreshments between meals, but because he had been walking for a long time, his stomach was a little empty, so he reached out and pinched a piece of the entrance, and tasted it, he said:
"The day after tomorrow, Dali Temple is going to open a public trial of the case of the two drug boys poisoning, and the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Observatory will send people to form three divisions, and the palace wants to ask if you have gone over."
Qin Ying was not hungry, and it was very tempting to see him eating, so the ghost envoy made the same action: "How about going, what if you don't go?" The almond cake in her mouth hadn't swallowed yet, and her tone was a little slurred.
"If you go, you will be a key witness, and a seat will be reserved for you in the hall at that time." Li Chengqian noticed that Qin Ying's gaze fell on him, and his face became unnatural.
She had an idea in her heart, but she deliberately pondered for a long time before saying, "It seems that Qin is disrespectful." ”
Li Chengqian nodded, and there was silence in the room for a while.
He saw Qin Ying turn over the bamboo book again, knowing that she wanted to send off the guest, so he didn't say anything else, untied a sachet hanging from his waist, and slowly left his seat.
Li Chengqian sat next to him, where could Qin Ying memorize the needle, she was calm on the surface, but she was actually very anxious in her heart, seeing him stand up, she stretched out her arms to help him. And he who resisted the sympathy of others did not refuse Qin Ying.
Sending the guest to the door, Qin Ying returned to the room, and when her eyes touched the sachet on the table, she pulled two ribbons to bring it close to her nose, and recognized that this was a high-grade agarwood, and those who were idle could not buy a surplus inch if they had money, and then said to herself with a smile:
"Why do all the guests come to the door like this, and they only come to the door when they have expensive gifts?"
During dinner in the evening, Su Huan joked about this matter to Qin Ying: "Your Xunzi room is really lively this afternoon. ”
Qin Ying drank half a bowl of gruel, then put down her chopsticks, she raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and said, "Do you envy my popularity?" ”
Su Huan stirred the noodles with the chopsticks in his hand so that they no longer stuck together: "Such a popularity, at least I never dreamed of it." In other words, why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deign to be a guest in your room? ”
Without waiting for Qin Ying to brag triumphantly, the hairpin lady said, "You haven't heard the jokes coming out of the East Palace." Seeing Su Huan shaking his head, the hairpin lady smiled lightly and said that the prince said that Qin Ying looked better than others in official clothes.
Qin Ying's face turned red early, and she wanted to jump up and leave many times, but Su Huan pulled her sleeve and couldn't get out.
At that time, Imperial Physician Lin said this paragraph to himself alone, and Qin Ying didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of. Now that the hairpin lady was mysteriously lowering her voice to tell Su Huan a story, Qin Ying felt that everyone in the dining hall was looking at her.
"It's probably because the prince hasn't seen Qin Ying for many days and misses it very much, and he learned that the Hanlin Courtyard is a place that is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and it is not a way to wait left and right, so he took the initiative to come." The hairpin lady concluded with "righteous words".
