Chapter 223: Come Back
In the middle of July, the sun was blazing, and the earth was steamer-like, so hot that people couldn't breathe. There was not a cloud in the air www.biquge.info there was a scorching sun overhead, there was not a single wind, all the trees stood listlessly and lazily, the leaves of the willows curled on the branches, and they could not stretch out pitifully.
The trees are like this, not to mention the people! In the Prince's Mansion, the people in the maid's palace who need to walk around have a fan in their hands, fan the wind at any time, and try to walk along the eaves, so that the sun does not shine.
This is the princess's order, afraid that everyone will accidentally suffer from heat stroke, the rules are dead, people are alive, simply let Xiao Lizi give each person a fan, and each person subsidized half a month's monthly money, and the kitchen people in this weather are the hardest, then each person subsidizes a month's monthly money. It's no less than suddenly eating a mouthful of ice under the scorching sun, and it's refreshing!
In the study, she had changed into the lightest clothes she had made herself, and Le Yi, who had her long hair coiled all over her head, was still sweating lightly, and there was ice in the room, but she didn't dare to put too much, for fear that it would not be good for her health, so she had to let herself sweat.
"Caisang, don't toss back and forth, be careful and ruthless." She looked at Cai Sang, who was sweating profusely in and out, and frowned and reminded.
"I'm fine, mother, I can lose weight this way, and I'll be wiped off soon." Cai Sang led the bucket, took the damp cloth, and carefully wiped the panes.
"Alas, you are masochistic, where is weight loss." Le Yi smiled.
"Whatever it is, let's lose weight first, or else we'll have to make clothes again." Cai Sang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Cai Xiang, who was coming in, couldn't help but laugh with a 'poof', and she put the prepared sour plum soup on Le Yi's table: "Niangniang, drink it fresh, no ice." ”
"Hmm." Le Yi put down the book in his hand, took it and took a big sip, alas, this sour plum soup without ice tastes much worse than with ice.
"Could it be that the house has left you with clothes?" She laughed at Caisang.
Cai Xiang listened to it and smiled.
Cai Sang put the wet cloth into the bucket to wash it, pouted and said, "Cai Bi said that girl can't break the rules of the house because of my own problems." ”
Cai Xiang helped explain: "She, the summer clothes made in early summer are a little tight during this time, and I want to make two more sets, but Cai Bi asked her to lose weight quickly It is serious." ”
Le Yi listened and laughed.
Cai Sang was a little ashamed: "This can't be all blamed on the slave maid, the slave and the maid don't know how to love long meat so much." ”
"So, Caibi doesn't want to do it for you again?" Le Yi laughed.
Cai Bi is not only in charge of her clothes and jewelry, but also the clothes of the maid in her yard every season.
"Niangniang, don't listen to her nonsense, Caibi is either unwilling, or persuading her not to get fat anymore." Cai Xiang smiled and glared at Cai Sang, if Cai Bi heard this, it would make her unhappy.
Cai Sang continued to rub indignantly: "Anyway, I must lose weight these days." ”
"Okay, our mulberry picking is so ambitious, in fact, if you want to lose weight, the best way is to eat less at night." Among the girls, she loves to eat the most, and she can eat the most, and it's strange that she can be thin.
"Ahh
Talking and laughing like this, she was sweating again, and Cai Xiang took a fan and fanned it behind her, so she felt better.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the earth regained some vitality, and there were many people walking around on the road, and the people in the prince's mansion who should have come out to do things came out, after all, in such weather, the daily work can only be done half in the morning and half in the evening.
Fifty kilometers away on the official road, two black horses galloped all the way, and finally stopped at the tip of the tip at the insistence of one of them.
"You want my life! What should I do if I get heat stroke on this hot day? A young man dressed in white gasped and tied his horse, went into the pergola and sat down.
At this moment, his clothes were wet, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were red, showing that he was very tired.
The other gray and white young man was similar, but his eyes were much brighter than the young man in white at this moment, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Shen Ye looked at him in such a hurry to return to the capital, and he was very puzzled, he didn't know where Le Yi's girl got such a big magic power, which made His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always had no reaction to women, so worried. How... He wasn't in such a hurry, of course, it would be nice to be able to go home and lie in his bed and sleep well, thinking of this, he couldn't help but yawn a lot, and didn't even care about his image.
After Dr. Tea served tea and ate, the two of them ate quickly.
I thought that I would be better after eating a full meal and drinking tea to quench my thirst and hunger, but as a result, I couldn't open my eyes anymore, Shen Ye waved his hand and said, "Why don't we stay here for one night tonight, I'm too sleepy to stay up." ”
Yan Zizhen frowned and waited to refuse, but when he swallowed his words like this, he thought about it and said, "You rest here, I'll rush back first." ”
"Uh..." Seeing that he turned around to leave, Shen Ye hurriedly said: "You also rest for the night, you rush back now, it's also midnight, and everyone is awake before they toss." Besides, let's go all the way, it's dirty, and the face is ugly, it's better to have a good night's rest, Ming'er is clean, and go home refreshed. ”
Seeing that he finally nodded in agreement, Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Rushing over all the way, he couldn't stand it, he didn't believe that Yan Zizhen had nothing to do, if he was tired, it was better to rest and slow down first, fortunately, he listened.
The two then asked for two upper rooms, and each of them freshened up and rested.
In the Western Chu Palace, Emperor Xichu who received the news did not hide his shock, but he didn't expect him to be ruthless enough! actually directly asked for the life of the fifth child! Originally, I was only counting on letting the old five hurt my bones, but as a result... Even his life is gone.
Except for his accident in this matter, Emperor Xichu frowned and pondered for a while, the matter has come to this point, so simply take back the fief and talk about it.
Emperor Xichu, who had made a decision, immediately ordered some ministers to enter the palace to discuss.
The next day, at dawn, two black horses galloped away from the inn's door.
Huguo Mansion, the Qinghui Courtyard of the Prince, Nie Xiaoqian finished breakfast, cleaned up and took the two big girls to her mother-in-law's courtyard to ask for peace. Unexpectedly, today's Gong was also there, and she saluted respectfully.
The Lord Protector only answered, and then brushed his sleeves away.
Nie Xiaoqian was embarrassed in her heart, and her face turned red. The Duchess of the Protector patted her hand comfortingly, signaling her not to take it to heart.
"Got everything packed?" She looked at the daughter-in-law with some sympathy.
"It's all in order, and I'll be out in a minute." Nie Xiaoqian saw her mother-in-law's sympathetic look in her eyes and smiled bitterly in her heart.
"That's good, it's hot, prepare two more sets of clothes, just in case."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will prepare it later. My mother also paid attention to her body at home, so I left first and came back after dinner. ”
"Well, go slower."
Nie Xiaoqian saluted, walked out of her mother-in-law's yard, and returned to her yard to bring her things before leaving.
Looking at her back, the people of the Protector Mansion were a little distracted, looking at her figure, it was not bad, why didn't she have children?
Hou Ye was in a hurry to hug his grandson, no, Xiaoqian has been married for more than a year, and the two have not had any children so far, which makes Hou Ye look at his daughter-in-law all kinds of unpleasant eyes, and the Duchess of Huguo sighed.
In the Prince's Mansion, Le Yi instructed Cai Xiang to prepare more ice cubes, fresh fruits and everything to wash first, and there was no need to prepare for the guests after a while, after all, the temperature was not so high at this time.
She didn't know if Nie Xiaoqian was simply here to visit the door or if she had something to do, but no matter what, she was Shen Ye's wife, Ruoling's sister-in-law, and she was familiar with herself, so she must be entertained.
On the way, Nie Xiaoqian, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was wondering if she was too presumptuous, and she went to other people's houses in such weather, but the atmosphere of everyone playing together in the prince's mansion last time was too good, she was really bored in the Hou mansion, and she couldn't always go back to her parents' house, so she voted to the prince's mansion on impulse.
But at this time, he began to worry that he was a little reckless, and he disappeared without a trace after entering the prince's mansion with embarrassment.
Le Yi greeted her warmly, and said with a smile: "I think I'm panicking alone in the house, you are here, or Sister Xiaoqian understands me." ”
Nie Xiaoqian blushed embarrassedly: "I'm too presumptuous, it's such a hot day, and I'm still bothering you." ”
"It's not, it's just a little hot, how can you not go out."
Le Yi led her to sit on the soft collapse by the window, with a small partition in the middle, on which fruits and fruit drinks were arranged.
"Knowing that my sister is coming, no, I have already prepared all the fruits. This is a fresh pear with a good taste and plenty of moisture. Le Yi brought three pieces of cut pears to her.
"Thank you, Crown Princess." Nie Xiaoqian took it proudly.
"Okay, when there are no outsiders, my sister still calls me Yi'er, and I call the crown princess, why do I feel so estranged." Le Yi smiled. For Nie Xiaoqian, she has the intention of making friends, after all, Shen Ye is Brother Yan's right-hand man, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha. Moreover, I heard Ruoling say that she is also a very good person, knows how to advance and retreat, understands the rules, and is a person who can be friends.
Seeing that she was so sincere, intimate and natural, without a trace of distance as a crown princess, Nie Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and was also very curious about her. How many people in this world can be in such a position and not be happy with such a position? It wasn't her who said it, it was my grandfather who said it. Since my grandfather said so, it must have made sense.
"In that case, I'll trespass, Sister Yi'er." Her smile radiated from the inside out.
"Yes, Sister Xiaoqian."
"Huh." The two looked at each other and smiled.
Nie Xiaoqian picked up a piece of pear with a fork and ate it, well, it's so sweet!
Actually, she is also quite beautiful, especially when she laughs, her whole facial features are very sweet. It's just that, alas, who made Shen Ye's guy look too good-looking, and Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be missing something when she stood beside him? Well, what's missing? Le Yi pondered.
The two intended to make friends, and the atmosphere of natural conversation became casual, and Le Yi realized that in fact, her dabbling was quite wide, but everything was not deep enough, but it was rare for her to have such a wide face, which was rare among so many girls she knew.
She deliberately took a step or two deeper, and when she heard Nie Xiaoqian's whole face light up, she continued to explore her questions, looking at her talking, Le Yi realized that she was quite different from her who came out to socialize on weekdays.
Le Yi is also very happy to be able to associate with interesting people with opinions.
And at the gate of the prince's mansion at this moment, the palace guards opened the door, and when they saw the people who strode in, they were shocked and then happy, and knelt down: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Hmm." Yan Zizhen hummed casually and walked hurriedly.
"Well, how urgent it is." Shen Ye complained behind him.
"You can go back." The people in front of them don't look back.
"Hey, it's so ruthless, I'm running around with you day and night, can't I give saliva to drink?" Shen Ye smashed his mouth, in fact, he just wanted to see what someone would do when he saw the little girl, well, that's all. He won't admit it, his gossip factor is here again.
Xiao Lizi, who was handling affairs in the front yard, immediately ran out when he heard that His Highness was back, and knelt down excitedly when he saw the person coming: "Your Highness!" ”
Looking at the palace people who knelt on the ground, Yan Zizhen said impatiently: "Get up." ”
"Yes!" After Xiao Lizi got up, he followed him and said, "Your Highness has worked hard all the way. ”
"Yes, Gonggong Li, it's so hard, it's like losing half a life." Shen Ye patted him on the shoulder, his face full of pain.
"Ahh Xiao Lizi was shocked: "This... Your Highness, I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor. "Your Highness's face is very unsightly, so haggard, Xiao Lizi is in a hurry.
"Haha." Shen Ye laughed.
Yan Zizhen glanced at him, and then glared at Xiao Lizi.
Xiao Lizi knew that he would be wrong again, he looked at Shen Shizi sadly, really, every time he made him understand wrong.
Shen Ye smiled and arched his hand, this Gonggong Li is also fun, and he has to be fooled every time.
"Aren't you going to drink water? When you're done drinking, hurry back. Yan Zizhen didn't want to pay attention to him, turned his head and instructed Xiao Lizi: "Serve tea to Shen Shizi in a while, and send off the guests after drinking!" ”
This time it was Xiao Lizi's turn to smile and nod.
"Furi... All right? ”
Seeing that His Royal Highness asked about the situation in the house, Xiao Lizi reacted very quickly, and he responded with a smile: "It's all good, the Prince's Mansion Niangniang will take care of the mansion properly, and the Niangniang is in the backyard at this time." ”
"Hmm." Yan Zizhen smiled: "You greet Shen Shizi, I'll go to the backyard." ”
"Okay, then the slave first ordered someone to go and tell the mother first."
"No need." Yan Zizhen waved his hand, he wanted to surprise her.
"Yes!" Xiao Lizi felt the point of His Royal Highness's feelings for the crown princess, and bent down and smiled.
"Hey, so unconscionable, wait for me." What was the purpose of Shen Ye's coming? I just want to see with my own eyes what will happen to him! How can you be sent away like this! He followed.
