Qing Dai took a tortoiseshell comb and dipped it in osmanthus oil to comb her long knotted hair little by little, until her black hair radiated a moist glow.

"Miss, are you still pretending to be Dr. Jia today?" Qingdai felt the solemnity of the atmosphere and didn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she asked out loud.

Zhong Ziyuan said indifferently: "No, today I am Zhong Ziyuan, not Jia Ming." After a pause, she added, "Remember to wipe all my bangs, expose my forehead, and dress up as a woman!" ”

"Aster!" Madame Zhong exclaimed in surprise and wanted to ask out loud. Zhong Jinchuan hurriedly pulled her and said in a low voice: "At a very good time, just listen to my daughter, and ask if you have any questions when she comes back." ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked at Zhong Jinchuan behind him through the bronze mirror, and said softly: "Father, thank you!" ”

Although Qing Dai was flustered, her skills were very skillful, she quickly helped Zhong Ziyuan comb a back bun, and then found a set of red gold jewelry to help her put it on. She shook her head lightly and said, "Go pick a white hibiscus." ”

"Hey!" Qing Dai agreed, found a handful of bamboo scissors and hurriedly went out, and after a while, she cut back a few blooming white hibiscus. She asked softly, "Miss, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled lightly and said, "Very good." She picked up the most gorgeous white hibiscus and inserted it into her sideburns, and changed into a plain white cardigan skirt embroidered with silver dark flowers, and then looked back and smiled: "Is it good-looking!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan in front of him was like a spring snow that would melt away at any time, although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, it was so light and lifeless. Qingdai's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she nodded desperately. Choked up: "It's so beautiful." Over there, Mrs. Zhong had already gagged her mouth with her fists and cried into Zhong Jinchuan's arms.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled apologetically at her, and then instructed Qing Dai, "Go and bring the baggage I brought home." ”

Qing Dai hurriedly took the baggage. Zhong Ziyuan cherished the furoshiki. In fact, there are some small bits and pieces, what purse, porcelain bottles, change of clothes, and some jewelry. After a little thought, Zhong Ziyuan picked out a snow-white and sharp crested hairpin from the pile of jewelry and inserted it in the bun casually. He also put a few of the porcelain bottles in his sleeve pockets. Then, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I'm leaving!" ”

Her smile seemed so illusory and floating in the light of the early morning. It seems that with a wave of the hand, it will float away. Mrs. Zhong was shocked and wanted to reach out to grab her back, but she was held tightly by Zhong Jinchuan and couldn't move.

Seeing Zhong Ziyuan walk out of the house step by step. Madame Chung clenched her fists and hammered him desperately in the chest. With a sad and frightened face, he shouted: "Let go of me, I'm going to stop her, her demeanor is wrong, very wrong, I think something big will happen to Ziyuan." ”

Zhong Jinchuan grabbed her arm tightly and said helplessly, "Did you find that Ziyuan was dressed like something?" ”

Mrs. Zhong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Like what?" She had a faint bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't dare to guess it.

Zhong Jinchuan closed his eyes. Hiding the pain in it, he took a deep breath. "Widow, she dressed herself as a widow"

Cardamom had been waiting outside the house for a long time with the medicine box on his back, and when he saw Zhong Ziyuan coming out, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Hui is always accompanied by me, and this time I can't miss anything." ”

Zhong Ziyuan was stunned at first, then smiled brightly and said, "No, you still have other things to do."

Zhu Yi rode on the tall green horse, and the whip in his hand beat the stirrups under his feet very rhythmically. Although he had been waiting for nearly an hour, he was extremely patient. Because this small courtyard has been surrounded by the guards he brought with him, it is like an iron barrel, unbreakable, and the people inside don't want to fly out even if they have wings. Perhaps he had been longing for so long that this moment of waiting was actually an extremely wonderful pleasure for him.

The vermilion lacquer door that suddenly opened poured out countless golden morning light, shaking his eyes involuntarily. In a trance, he saw her slowly walking out of the door, dressed in plain white, like a swaying white lotus in Bitan, peerless and independent, proud and prosperous.

After a long time, Zhu Yi suddenly felt some pain in his chest, and he was shocked to realize that he had been holding his breath and watching her walk in step by step. He couldn't help but spit out a long breath of turbidity and smiled, "Long time no see!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan walked straight under his horse before he stopped, the four-clawed golden dragon in the prince's costume on his body was made of the best gold wire, the finest stitches, and countless best embroiderers. The golden dragon hidden in the clouds and mist fluctuated with the fluctuations of the sun, up and down, faintly with a cloud state.

Zhong Ziyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Long time no see!" ”

Zhu Yi's eyes greedily coiled on her pretty face, until she caught a glimpse of the white hibiscus on her sideburns, then frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief, and said, "The carriage has already been prepared, please!" ”

A luxurious carriage covered with jewels and emerald flowers stopped quietly behind him, and the horses pulling the cart had been waiting for a long time, and their front hooves were digging impatiently on the bluestone road, snorting very loudly. Zhong Ziyuan glanced at the luxurious carriage, did not move his steps, and only said lightly: "The prince is really too polite, but such a carriage is too luxurious, and it doesn't seem suitable for me to sit." ”

Zhu Yi's tone was extremely gentle: "It's not been a day or two since the princess is seriously ill, and I ask Miss Zhong not to worry about these subtleties." If the princess's illness is delayed, Miss Zhong will probably feel uneasy. ”

Zhong Ziyuan lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "Although the princess is frail, she has always been well-maintained. Married to the prince for less than a year, he reached the point of serious illness. In this regard, doesn't the prince have nothing to say? By the way, I also asked the prince to change his title, and the title of Miss Zhong was already yesterday. From now on, please call me Mrs. Guo. ”

"Mrs. Guo?" Zhu Yi's thick eyebrows frowned, and his tone immediately revealed a bit of coldness. The whip in his hand began to pound the stirrups under his feet, and the dull sound seemed so abrupt in the silent alleyway.

He suddenly grinned and sneered, and then shouted, "Miss Zhong is questioning this king? Or are you deliberately delaying time? Someone came, since Miss Zhong was unwilling to go to see the princess. I have to ask the former Zhongyuan envoy to go this way! Obviously, he has directly ignored the title of Mrs. Guo.

"Yes!" Behind him, several palace guards armed with waist knives immediately poured out.

"Wait!" Zhong Ziyuan had to call the guards out loud. She straightened the hair on her sideburns and said calmly, "Lord Wang." You are out of shape, irritable, messing around, bullying, disrespecting your wife, is this still the noble son who was famous in Chang'an in the past? ”

She has been deliberately raising her voice, and she is so calm and methodical to mock. is to let the people crowded outside the alley to watch the excitement hear clearly.

The green tendons in Zhu Yi's neck kept beating. There was a violent aura on the handsome face that could not be concealed! At first, he was deeply attracted by Zhong Ziyuan's sharpness, but once this sharpness was aimed at himself, he found that it was such a headache.

Especially when she calls herself Mrs. Guo. A strong, devastating fire of jealousy welled up in his breast, enough to burn his sanity and drive him into madness. He wanted to pull out the sword at his waist and slash the unknown woman in front of him, but he also wanted to take her into his arms and ravage her fiercely. I want to crawl at her feet even more. Pray that she will give her a little mercy and warmth.

Zhong Ziyuan saw that Zhu Yi's expression was unpredictable, and the back of the hand holding the horsewhip was bruised because of the force. Apparently his patience had run out and was on the verge of an imminent outburst. She finally smiled coldly, lifted the corner of her skirt and got into the carriage.

The curtain of the door with a red embroidered golden blessing pattern was pulled down with a "swish", covering her beautiful face. Zhu Yilian took countless deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Then he turned the horse's head and shouted angrily: "Go home!" ”

Sitting in a rickety carriage, she was surrounded by guards from the Rui Palace. Prince Rui rode a tall horse beside the carriage, and it looked really beautiful. Leaning on the carriage. Zhong Ziyuan closed his eyes slightly, but his mind was nervously calculating. After all, the Rui Palace, to her, is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is easy to walk in, but it is even more difficult to get out of the whole body than to ascend to the sky.

I don't know how long it took for the carriage to stop, and the curtain was rudely opened. A slender maid with thin eyebrows and high cheeks appeared in front of her. The maid looked at her dress for a moment, and then said very unceremoniously: "King Rui's Mansion has arrived, please get off!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't bother anymore, she got out of the carriage quietly. After standing firmly, she raised her eyes, only to find that Zhu Yi, who had been accompanying the car, had disappeared, and even those guards had gone seven or eight times out of ten. Only four or five men were scattered behind the carriage, staring at themselves closely.

"What is Miss Zhong looking for?" The maid raised her voice and said, "Please come with me this way." She stared at Zhong Ziyuan very unceremoniously up and down, from the white hibiscus on her sideburns, to her clean and unadorned fingertips, a trace of contempt overflowed from her eyes.

Zhong Ziyuan also raised her head to look at her. Although she is the identity of a maid, she is full of silk and hairpins, and she is not lacking in hairpins, and she is dressed many times more luxurious than herself, no wonder she looks at her eyes so disdainfully.

The maid walked straight a few steps, but when she looked back, she saw Zhong Ziyuan standing in place and not moving, she had to suppress her anger, and raised her voice again and said, "Miss Zhong, please here!" ”

Zhong Ziyuan glanced at her deeply and said in a deep voice, "Please call me Mrs. Guo." ”

"Mrs. Guo?" The maid was obviously a little stunned, and she muttered, "Isn't it the young lady surnamed Zhong?" Since they are all married, why is Aunt Qin still like a great enemy? ”

Although she couldn't figure it out in her heart, she still obediently changed her words and said, "Mrs. Guo, please come with me, our Aunt Qin happens to be unwell, I want you to go and see it first." ”

Zhong Ziyuan frowned, and said extremely unhappily: "Who is Aunt Qin?" How do I remember that your prince invited me to see Princess Rui, but he didn't mention Aunt Qin. ”

The maid sneered and said contemptuously: "Mrs. Guo is the first time to come to Prince Rui's mansion, and I don't know that the situation in our palace is a little special. Aunt Qin in our palace is more noble than the princess, because Aunt Qin has already conceived the eldest son of our prince, and she is really blessed with delicate flesh. At the critical moment, Mrs. Guo should not be confused! After saying that, she smiled quite proudly.

Zhong Ziyuan frowned and stared over, her gaze was not only gloomy and sharp, but also faintly evil. The insolent maid couldn't laugh anymore.

She sneered, raised her voice and said, "It's really funny, whether your Aunt Qin is pregnant or not, and whether she is delicate or expensive has nothing to do with me?" I told you that your prince invited me to see Princess Rui, not to be assigned by an unknown aunt. If you know where the princess is, take me there, and if you don't, you get out of here. ”

"You" The maid's cheeks flushed instantly, she was shocked by Zhong Ziyuan's sharp eyes, and she was dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

This maid has been following the hugging qin for several months, and she has also been in the backyard of the palace for a few months. No matter who saw their master and servant, they were polite and flattering, how could they have been reprimanded so harshly.

Just when she was blushing and at a loss, behind her, a gentle voice came with a slight dissatisfaction: "Cailian, who asked you to come here and talk nonsense?" Don't retreat yet. ”

Cai Lian's shoulders shrank, and she immediately lowered her eyebrows and said, "Sister Cai Yin!" Although Cai Yin is also a maid, she is a maid who serves Zhu Yi closely, of course she is not comparable to her, a maid who serves her aunt.

Cai Yin ignored her, stepped forward directly, curtsied to Zhong Ziyuan first, and then smiled: "Miss Zhong is here, the princess has been looking forward to it for a long time, please come with me." ”

Zhong Ziyuan saw that this maid named Caiyin acted and spoke in a measured manner, and when she mentioned the princess, she also spoke in a respectful tone, so she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Miss Caiyin, please lead the way." ”

Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan was about to leave after Cai Yin, Cai Lian bit her lower lip lightly, and then stomped over and ran in front of them. She accompanied Cai Yin with a smile and said to Cai Yin, who was dissatisfied: "Sister Cai Yin, Aunt Qin vomited several times after getting up this morning, and she was screaming that her stomach was cramping. You see, she is still pregnant with our prince's eldest son in her belly! If there is any problem, we can't afford it, so let's let this Mrs. Guo go and see our Aunt Qin first! ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Sure enough, I heard that Aunt Qin's stomach was uncomfortable, and Cai Yin didn't dare to take it lightly, she stomped her feet and said angrily: "I know that Aunt Qin is uncomfortable, why are you still messing around with us here, if there is anything wrong with the fetus in Aunt Qin's belly, be careful that the prince will ask you for the crime." After she reprimanded Cai Yin, she immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Come on, go to the Tai Hospital quickly and invite the imperial doctor." ”

"Yes." Immediately two of the guards agreed, turned on their horses, and galloped away.

Cai Lian was a little dumbfounded, she still pointed at Zhong Ziyuan with some reluctance, and said, "Sister Cai Yin, why should she be willing to go near and far, isn't there a doctor in front of her?" (To be continued.) )
