Chapter 186: The Big Wedding
Guo Ping naturally told them about this matter, and Xiao Wanyao said it again here, which also shows that she attaches great importance to those two people, and they came here from Wei State, although they are the crown princess, but she knows what identity she is here from, so naturally some people will not take her seriously.
She is naturally very aware of the fight between women and women, although this is not a palace, but it is not far off, and it is only at this moment that Xiao Wanyao knows that Guo Ping is not the only woman herself, but he does not have a concubine. He also has two women, one is the side concubine of the crown prince from Sanpin, she is of noble birth, and she is also the daughter of a minister in the Chu court, but for some reason she only made a side concubine. The other is the crown princess from Sipin, who is said to be a woman brought back by Guo Ping from outside, whose identity is unknown, but Guo Ping is quite fond of her.
Xiao Wanyao slowly ate breakfast after dressing up, thinking about the current situation, she didn't know why Guo Ping only asked Tang Siqi for her at the beginning, at best, she and Guo Ping had a small holiday, but she thought it was nothing, probably he wouldn't take it to heart, and then she kindly gave him a few prescriptions, but it was not enough for him to marry him as a concubine.
At worst, what other purpose does Guo Ping have? Or does he know something about himself? Xiao Wanyao's eyes sank for a moment, could it be Mingyu's business? But probably not, the relationship between her and Mingyu in Wei State, apart from Mingyu herself, is probably only known to Xue Tianao and her uncle. So for what?
Before Xiao Wanyao could figure it out, the maidservants around her began to urge, she was a newlywed princess, and naturally she had to enter the palace to face the saints, and red tape and the like were indispensable, and she was busy for nearly ten days.
finally finished all the things that should go, and all that was left was to be her crown princess quietly. The time is slowly approaching early summer, the temperature is slowly rising, everyone is beginning to change into thin clothes, the concubines and maids in Chaoyang Mansion are all graceful and colorful, wrapped in thick clothes in winter, it is not clear to see, and now there is spring everywhere.
Especially the crown princess and the crown princess are even more vied, but Xiao Wanyao is low-key and curious, or the set of clothes without makeup in the spring, and the jewelry she wears has almost never changed. However, this is the case, and the two charming concubines will not let her go.
The prince's side concubine - Huo Yongdie, the prince's concubine - Han Qianqian, appeared in front of Xiao Wanyao in a fancy way, "Say hello to my sister!" "Xiao Wanyao is younger than all of them, but in order, they must call her sister.
Xiao Wanyao instructed the maidservants on the side to move stools for them to sit on, and only glanced at them cursoryly, knowing what they were here for, since they were all here to show off, why bother to sweep their interest, "The two younger sisters are dressed up so beautifully, these clothes must be worth a lot of money." β
Xiao Wanyao spoke first, how could they let go of this opportunity, only to hear Huo Yongdie's smiling flowers and branches trembling and saying, "Of course, the material I used to make this dress was still rewarded by the prince, and there were only two horses in the capital, one was in the palace, and the other prince gave it to me, and I still have some left, if my sister doesn't dislike it, I will let someone take it to make clothes for my sister." β
Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "I am content if my sister has this heart, the material is better for my sister to keep by herself, the clothes in this palace are enough to wear." Huo Yongdie was naturally happy, and said with a smile, "My sister is from the Wei Kingdom, and she must have brought a lot of rare treasures, can you let the two of us see and understand?" β
Speaking of this, Xiao Wanyao suddenly laughed, "Where are there any rare treasures, but they are all things that can be used with you." At this time, Han Qianqian, who had been silent on the side, spoke, "I heard that my sister understands medical skills, and her medical skills are excellent, and the prince's stubborn illness for many years was cured by his sister." And when my sister and the prince met, something interesting happened. β
Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "I do know a little bit about medical skills, but it's just scratching the surface." She carefully observed the two people in front of her, Huo Yongdie looked like a young lady from a big family, and she couldn't help but have some worldly vanity.
The appearance is naturally first-class, but the city government is not deep, but the more such a person, the more dare to do whatever he wants, relying on his family's background, so if you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to keep your distance from her.
And Han Qianqian, it is said that this person does not know the origin, is a woman brought back by Guo Ping from outside, and Guo Ping is very fond of her, she looks much calmer, she is well-dressed, but she is not so gaudy, and her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she is also a first-class person.
This person looks sophisticated and calm, even if she is very low-key in front of Xiao Wanyao, but she must be pampered a lot by relying on the prince's favor, although Xiao Wanyao is a princess when she first arrives, she can't be sharp as soon as she comes, as long as they don't provoke her, they can be calm.
Just when the three women were chatting, Guo Ping came in from outside, and the three of them got up and saluted at the same time, Guo Ping walked directly to Xiao Wanyao's side, grabbed her hand and helped her sit down together, "I didn't expect you all to be here." How is it? Adapting to life here? Is there anything you don't get used to? β
Xiao Wanyao lowered her eyebrows and looked at Guo Ping holding her hand, she wanted to withdraw it but was grabbed tighter by him, she looked up at him, the look seemed to signal him to let go, but he ignored it, Xiao Wanyao had to endure it, smiled slightly, showed a cautious look, and replied gently, "It's okay, thank you for your concern." β
Guo Ping smiled, "It's summer soon, I see that you don't have many clothes, so I asked someone to prepare a few pieces of fabric for you, and when the time comes, you can choose and make a few sets of clothes for yourself, and there are artists who make zuΓ² jewelry, and you also buy some jewelry for yourself." β
Xiao Wanyao replied shyly again, "Thank you, concubine, prince." As soon as Guo Ping's words fell, Huo Yongdie's face sank on the side.
But he still stepped forward with a smile and said, "Speaking of making clothes, the concubine just said that she would give her sister a piece of cloth and let her sister make clothes. β
Guo Ping turned his head to look at her, "I also have your share, and when the time comes, someone will be sent to your residence, and you can choose by yourself." Huo Yongdie's mood suddenly brightened, and she smiled and blessed her body, "Thank you to the prince, concubine." Guo Ping still held Xiao Wanyao's hand, and when she looked up at him, she noticed that his gaze stayed on Han Qianqian's body for a moment.
It's just that Han Qianqian stood there, looking a little taciturn, but didn't say anything else.
After Huo Yongdie and Han Qianqian left, Xiao Wanyao withdrew her hand from him, and her docile face just now suddenly sank, "Didn't you go to the palace?" Why did you come back so soon? Isn't your fabric rewarded to you by the emperor? β
Guo Ping suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and wiped Xiao Wanyao's nose, "I can't hide anything from you, these are indeed rewards from the emperor, I will ask someone to show them to you in a while." β
Xiao Wanyao turned around and sat down, "No need, my clothes are enough to wear, you should show them to your two concubines." As she spoke, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm tea, watched Guo Ping sit down opposite, and paused slightly, "Are you okay?" β
Guo Ping stared at her, "It's okay." "And what are you still doing here?" Guo Ping smiled, "I just like to see you like now." β
Xiao Wanyao's eyes swept over him, as long as she and Guo Ping were alone, her tone of voice was the same as when they first met in Wei State, as long as she was in the eyes of outsiders, she would be docile like a kitten, no matter what Guo Ping said, she would agree with her mouth, and she would also abide by the red tape of the Prince's Mansion.
But to be honest, although in her previous life, as a concubine in the palace, she was very familiar with these etiquettes, but in this life, she was used to being free outside, and now she feels troublesome when she uses it suddenly.
Xiao Wanyao also smiled and said, "There are three chapters of the law between us, as long as there is no other person here, I will be on an equal footing with you as before." Guo Ping replied, "It's natural, but your docile appearance is also endearing, but I know that you are not such a person who can whisper to others, and I still remember the scene when you poisoned me with silver." β
Xiao Wanyao also giggled, if it weren't for such fate, in fact, after getting along with Guo Ping, I felt that he was a very cheerful person, and he talked to her very much, if not, they might really be good friends. Xiao Wanyao also gradually had some good feelings for Guo Ping.
Fortunately, this is not a palace, and I am much more free to speak and do things.
Xiao Wanyao seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "I remember that when you went to Wei Kingdom, you brought a personal maid with you, named Xiaohong, but I have never seen her after I have been here for so long." Guo Ping paused slightly, put away the smile on his face a little, and shifted his gaze to other places, "She is temporarily absent from the house for something to do, and it will probably take a while to come back." β
Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, a personal maid, but she was just serving food and living, what would happen? But looking at Guo Ping's appearance, it seems that he has gone out to do serious things. So she didn't continue to ask,
Seeing that it was about to start summer, Xiao Wanyao didn't have her own people here in the Prince's Mansion, she was cautious in her work, in order not to attract the attention of others, unless Guo Ping took her out, she didn't go out lightly, either staying in the room to read medical books, or studying herbal medicine, so every time she approached her, she had a faint herbal fragrance on her body.
fused with the rouge on his body, it produced an indescribable refreshing fragrance, which made Guo Ping like it very much. Since Xiao Wanyao entered the Prince's Mansion, Guo Ping rarely went to Han Qianqian and Huo Yongdie, and stayed by Xiao Wanyao's side almost every night.
On this day, after the joy of fish and water, Xiao Wanyao felt sleepy and wanted to fall asleep in a daze, but was woken up by Guo Ping, "I want to sleep, can you not bother me." She pulled the quilt over her body and wrapped it around her naked body. Guo Ping stepped forward and ripped off her quilt and said with a smile, "I have something to tell you." Xiao Wanyao grabbed the quilt with him in a daze, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm really sleepy." β
He took her into his arms, let her lean on his chest, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and the one couldn't help but take advantage of her, Xiao Wanyao's brows suddenly wrinkled, and when she opened her eyes, Guo Ping looked down at her with a wicked smile, she sighed helplessly, wrapped her body and rolled off her, "Say, what's the matter?" β
Guo Ping put his head under his arms and said lightly, "Tomorrow Zhu'er and Cui'er will come." Hearing this, Xiao Wanyao suddenly came to her senses, "Really? When will it be tomorrow? β
Guo Ping smiled, "If you come and kiss me, I'll sue you." Xiao Wanyao's brows sank, and she wrapped the quilt on her body, "Hmph, anyway, they will arrive tomorrow, and I will naturally know when the time comes." β
Saying this, she was a little excited, they will be here soon, and they will come with news from that side, I don't know what happened over there.
Looking at Xiao Wanyao's excited appearance, Guo Ping tilted his head and glanced at her, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he had seen through something, "I heard that Zhu'er and Cui'er were originally the people next to Xue Tianao, and when you were in Wuzhou, he gave the two of them to you." β
After hearing this, Xiao Wanyao suddenly turned her head and stared at Guo Ping, he looked calm, lying there without an inch, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked with a faint smile, in the face of Xiao Wanyao's surprise, it seemed that she had expected it a long time ago, she narrowed her eyes, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has investigated a lot of things for me, but what you said is true, they were indeed the people around Xue Tianao before, but now they are my people." It has nothing to do with Xue Tianao. β
Guo Ping stopped Xiao Wanyao and hugged her gently, "I just casually listened to others say something about your past, in fact, I don't know much, it's just two maids, I'm not so stingy as to be that kind of Cheng dΓΉ." β
Xiao Wanyao chuckled in her heart, although Guo Ping said so, she knew very well in her heart that Guo Ping had carefully investigated herself, otherwise, this kind of thing would not attract the attention of others at all, he knew it, so what else did he know?
Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but take a deep breath, it seems that this Guo Ping seems to be innocent and cheerful on the surface, but in fact, he still has an unknown side, "Why did you tell me about this?" β
Xiao Wanyao suddenly asked. Guo Ping was slightly stunned, "What?" "You know that Zhu'er and Cui'er are Xue Tianao's people, why do you still tell me about this? You must easily know what happened when I was in the capital of Wei, but in the more than two years since I escaped the palace, you must be curious about what I have done. β
Guo Ping smiled lightly, sighed slightly, his eyes stared straight at the ceiling, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, "I do want to know, not only these, but all the things I want to know about you." β
He hugged her tightly with his hand, "Because I want you to be my woman completely, and then have no concern about the previous people and things." Something that stayed by my side for the rest of my life and never wanted to leave. β
Xiao Wanyao was slightly stunned, leaning into his arms, "Why do you say that?" Now that I'm your crown princess, where else can I go? β
Guo Ping didn't speak, she waited for his answer, but he was silent for a long time, and when Xiao Wanyao looked up at him, he had closed his eyes and was breathing evenly, as if he was asleep.
She didn't ask again, she covered the quilt, turned over and lay down with her back to him, and she couldn't sleep that night. At noon on the second day, the maidservant girl outside walked in with a smile, "Princess, Zhu'er and Cui'er are here!" Xiao Wanyao put down the medical book in her hand and said with a smile, "Let them come in." β
As she spoke, Zhu'er and Cui'er walked in from outside and knelt down in front of Xiao Wanyao, "Slave and maid see the crown princess." Xiao Wanyao smiled, "Hurry up, I'm tired all the way." She got up and took Zhu'er's hand, "Come and sit down and rest for a while, Ping'er pour tea." Cui'er stepped forward and was about to sit down, but Zhu'er reacted quickly, hurriedly pulled her over, and blessed her body, "Slave and maid, thank you princess, there are people to take care of you all the way, so you are not tired, please sit down." β
Xiao Wanyao paused slightly, in the past, they were together like sisters, but now that they have different statuses, they naturally can't be like in the past, after all, there are many other people watching here, Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "That's the case, Ping'er, you take them to the residence to take a look, and come over when they are cleaned up." β
Zhu'er and Cui'er were blessed and followed Ping'er down, saying that their residence was just living in a courtyard with Xiao Wanyao, which was very close. After the two of them saw the residence, they soon returned, "Slave and maid to the crown princess to say goodbye!" β
They had already changed into the clothes of the maids in the prince's mansion, Xiao Wanyao asked them to get up, and then separated the others, and after making sure that no one saw them, she ran to them again, "Zhu'er Cui'er, how are you?" I thought you'd arrive a little later, but I didn't expect to be there so soon. β
Cui'er looked excited, and turned around in a big circle, "Sister Xiao, I didn't expect you to live in such a big house here, and you are now the crown princess, are there many people serving you?" β
Zhu'er locked her eyebrows, "Cui'er, this time is different, how many times have I told you on the road, you can't call Sister Xiao anymore, Miss Xiao is now the crown princess, pay attention to the etiquette in the future." β
Cui'er was a little unhappy when she was said, and pouted, "Got it." Zhu'er then turned her head to look at Xiao Wanyao, "Crown Princess, I know why you have to ask the two of us to come over, you are afraid that there are no trustworthy people around here, you can rest assured that Cui'er and I are your people." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded gratefully, "Zhu'er, you can say that, I feel a lot of comfort in my heart, this is not as good as Wei State, even if it is my crown princess, but there are people who are not used to me, so you must be cautious in your actions in the future, if you have any difficulties, you must also sue me." Here, we are family. β
Zhu'er nodded, her expression was not as excited as Cui'er, she helped Xiao Wanyao to sit down on the soft couch and then asked Cui'er to go to the door to take care of the wind, and then said to Xiao Wanyao with a stern face, "Crown Princess, before coming here, Prince Mingyu came to me and asked me to bring you some messages, and his people also came here secretly, so if you want to have contact with people outside, just follow the previous contact information." β
Xiao Wanyao nodded, which is why she asked Guo Ping to bring Zhu'er and them here. "What message did you bring with you?" Xiao Wanyao has been here for nearly a month, and she doesn't know anything about Wei Guo.
Zhu'er's face was a little ugly, and she said, "Your family has already reconciled with General Xiao Ze, and the emperor's pursuers have not caught them, so now they are safe, and the prince of Mingyu has captured the entire Jiangnan." He asked me to sue you, rest assured, everything is going according to plan. β
Xiao Wanyao nodded, but seeing that Zhu'er's face was not good-looking, she lowered her voice and said, "Is there anything else?" Zhu'er pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Gong Qing is married to Xue Gongzi, won't you get married after you leave, now the left prime minister is not in the middle of the court, and the right prime minister almost controls the government." β
Xiao Wanyao said lightly, "This is inevitable, the right prime minister has already wanted to get rid of my father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if Tang Siqi has great ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with the right prime minister at this moment." Zhu'er nodded, "It's just ......" Xiao Wanyao looked at her again, "What?" β
Zhu'er lowered her head slightly, "Miss Xiao's father...... Killed. Although she deliberately lowered her voice, but when she heard Xiao Wanyao's ears were unusually real, she couldn't help but stand up, staring at Zhu'er in surprise, her face was a little pale, "What?" Who killed him? Didn't you say they had reached their uncle safely? How can you die? β
Zhu'er shook her head, "Lord Xiao was assassinated, and Prince Mingyu is investigating, but he doesn't know who killed him, so he asked me to sue Miss Xiao, and he will definitely find out the murderer." β
Xiao Wanyao sat down slowly, she paid so much to keep her family safe, but she didn't expect Xiao Man to be killed, she was sad, but it was not to the point where it was unacceptable, although he was her father, but she didn't grow up beside him since she was a child.
In addition to being related by blood, she doesn't have much affection, but she will definitely avenge him, "I don't know what evidence of my father's crime is in the hands of the right prime minister, it must be because of this matter, I am worried that my father will leak out, so he will be killed." β
"But now that the girl is the crown princess of Chu State, I'm afraid she can't do anything." Pearls said. Xiao Wanyao sighed deeply,
"I will definitely avenge this revenge, but don't worry, Mingyu will definitely find out the reason, and he will naturally sue me when the time comes. Zhu'er, your mind is more careful than Cui'er, and the matter of passing on the message will be handed over to you in the future, I will give you the way to contact Mingyu, and there are many people here, be cautious, and don't fight for some things if you don't need to fight, so as not to attract attention. β
Zhu'er nodded, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, the slave will definitely do a good job, the weaker the person, the more people will let their guard down, and it will be the best for us." Xiao Wanyao nodded with satisfaction, but she couldn't put a smile on her face, she didn't expect her father to die like this in this life.
Lixia, because Xiaohong was not around, Xiao Wanyao personally changed the medicine for Guo Ping, and after Zhu'er boiled it according to the prescription, she sent it over for him. Guo Ping, as the crown prince, will help the emperor to review the chapters, and she is also busy with daily affairs, she sent the medicine to his study, and the maidservant at the door wanted to go in to report, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, "You can go in the palace by yourself, he is busy with business and doesn't have to disturb him." β
As he spoke, he walked in with the medicine, while Zhu'er stood at the door and waited.
After entering, he saw Guo Ping sitting at the table reviewing the chapters, Xiao Wanyao slowly walked over and put the medicine bowl down beside him, he didn't look up, just glanced at the medicine bowl, "Take it down, I told you, I don't want to drink medicine today." β
Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly, "This is the first day of changing the dressing, if you don't drink it today, I'm afraid the symptoms won't be eradicated in the future." β
Hearing that it was Xiao Wanyao's voice, Guo Ping suddenly raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and put down the pen in his hand, "Why are you?" I thought it was a maid delivering medicine. β
Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "Today is Lixia, I personally boiled the medicine for you, but looking at your appearance, you must have drunk a lot less in the past, let me help you check the pulse and see how the pulse is." β
She walked up as she spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand to let her take the pulse, and then looked up at her carefully, Xiao Wanyao felt the pulse seriously, and never noticed his gaze, and when her gaze was withdrawn, she collided with his eyes and was slightly stunned, "Why are you looking at me like this?" β
Guo Ping smiled, "You look the best when you're serious!" Especially when I'm serious about it. Xiao Wanyao smiled, "Your pulse is very peaceful, which means that the medicine you used before has been effective, and you will follow this prescription from now on."
Just wait until autumn to change the prescription and stop the medicine next spring, and then your disease will be eradicated. After speaking, she picked up the medicine bowl beside her and handed it to Guo Ping, "Drink it, no matter how busy you are, your body is important." β
Guo Ping smiled and took the medicine bowl, "There is a doctor's wife who is different. As he spoke, he leaned over and prepared to drink the medicine, but an unbearable smell came, which made him stay away from the medicine bowl for an instant, which was not enough, and put the medicine bowl on the table, and stood up and hid aside like a plague, "What is this?" Why does it smell so bad? βR1154
