Chapter 209 ~ Chapter 210 Salute
The sunlight shone into the carriage through the light pink silver screen curtain, and the same color brocade wall on the wall of the carriage was red by the light reflected by Fu Ying's red arrow sleeve jacket and eight skirts, Xiao Cuo stroked the cheeks and foreheads of the person next to him with his big hand, and said worriedly: "Haunting, do you feel better?" ”
"Hmm." He replied in a nasal voice, his eyelids were heavy as if they were glued, and he said strongly: "It's okay, it's just a fever, such a little illness can't survive, is it in vain to eat so much food on weekdays?" ”
Xiao Cuo smiled amused by her, and his well-defined handsome face showed a pleasing dimple, "You, don't be reckless by my side, this is not the same as in the Hou Mansion before." Sometimes, even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to force yourself to laugh in order not to worry your mother-in-law. You don't want to do that with me, just show me the most authentic side. Because I love you no matter what, you know? ”
Xu is sick and mentally fragile, maybe he has left his hometown for a long time and misses his hometown, and maybe since he arrived in Da Zhou, he has really experienced the contrast between the strength and weakness of Dongsheng and Da Zhou, and realized how weak he is under the halo of the god of war. Fu Ying felt that his nose was sour, and he didn't want to be too weak in front of Xiao Cuo, so he muttered in response and buried his face in his arms.
Xiao Cuo touched her head again with pity, and seeing that her heat had not subsided, he said worriedly: "Let's go home when I enter the palace later, I won't do this to you in the future, I blamed Meng Lang yesterday, I didn't take into account your feelings." ”
Speaking of last night, Fu Ying felt that the blood all over his body was burning like magma. It's hard to see how he can bring up such crazy and embarrassing things so generously. Fu Ying pretended to be asleep very cowardly.
It's just that I didn't expect to pretend to be asleep and not pay attention to it turned into real sleep.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace gate, and a small attendant inside hurriedly greeted him and gave a big salute outside: "Slave and maid see the prince, princess, the oil wall car is ready, please move the princess." ”
Xiao Cuo lifted the curtain and gestured to Ah Yuan outside.
Ah Yuan was slightly surprised, so he went to whisper to the little chamberlain: "Stay here, the prince and the princess will use it later." ”
The little chamberlain hurriedly saluted.
Xiao Cuo hugged the sleeping Fu Ying, and stopped in front of the palace gate by the carriage in his house. I waited for more than half an hour.
Fu Ying woke up. I found that I was still in the carriage, and the pain in my lower body seemed to be even worse, but my body did not feel cold, but warmed. I don't know how long I slept. smiled and said, "It's almost there, right?" ”
Xiao Cuo smiled dotingly: "Just arrived." I'm about to wake you up. We have to change to the bus in the palace. Later, I will go to see the royal brother and sister-in-law, and I will take you home. ”
"I'm getting better. It's important for us to get down to business, and we don't have to go back right away. Fu Ying took a mirror and straightened her sideburns. and powder touch-up.
Xiao Cuo supported her appreciation, and casually straightened the slippery steps behind her head, and said with a smile: "As long as you are happy." ”
"I'm happy, it's full of joy." Fu Ying lifted the curtain of the car, and Mama Wu and Zhenyu, who were already standing on the side, had sore legs, and hurriedly set up a red paint footstool to help Fu Ying get out of the car.
Mama Wu felt that Fu Ying had done something inappropriate, and it was really unappropriate to fall asleep in the carriage and wait for the prince, and was about to speak, but was glared at by Xiao Cuo's sharp eyes.
People who have experienced a lot of blood on the battlefield, their eyes are different from ordinary people, and Mama Wu was only glared at, and she felt as if she had been pierced by an ice pick, as if she would be pulled out and beheaded directly if she said one more word.
Mama Wu hung her head hurriedly.
Changed to the carriage, Xiao Cuo still hugged her, the carriage went straight to the Kunning Palace where the queen lived, and all the attendants met along the way saluted and avoided, Xiao Cuo pointed to the approximate direction and told her the approximate direction of each palace, the location of the imperial garden, and where there was a tree that he had taken out of the bird's egg when he was young.
Fu Ying listened with relish, and the sweat on his body was thorough, but he was much more energetic.
After a short time, when he came to Kunning Palace, Fu Ying said, "You still want to go to face the saint, right?" You don't have to stay with me, I can handle it myself. ”
Xiao Cuo shook his head: "I'm still with you." "The queen's hostility towards Fu Ying is not incomprehensible, after all, he has been stealing the limelight from the princes since he was a child.
Fu Ying said in a low voice: "I know that you are good to me, but it is impossible for you to be by my side every time something happens in the future, I always have to learn to deal with these by myself." Besides, if you are a foreign minister, you must have the appearance of a foreign minister, they will not hurt me in front of you, at most they will not add or subtract a few words from it, and you don't know that I am thick-skinned. ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, let's do what we have to do, and don't leave people to say that you're not."
Xiao Cuo wrinkled his eyebrows, and sighed for a long time before he said, "Let's leave quickly." ”
Fu Ying smiled: "Hurry or something, don't worry, I'm not as weak as you think." ”
"But I don't want you to be wronged." Xiao Cuo touched her forehead again, and saw that her heat had subsided a lot, only sweating, and said, "That's it, I'll send you in more assured." ”
Ignoring Fu Ying's objections again, he took her hand and walked into Kunning Palace, striding to the main hall.
Immediately, someone from the palace replied loudly: "Prince Xiang and Princess Xiang have arrived." ”
Step over the high threshold, step on the glamorous marble floor, bypass the bronze beast-foot incense burner, and make your way to the spacious side hall.
The decoration in the hall is luxurious, the queen sits in the first place, and there are two women surrounded by pearls and emeralds, a middle-aged woman is dressed in purple, and the other is a light lotus color, a beautiful girl.
Xiao Cuo and Fu Ying came in hand in hand, and they grabbed everyone's attention in an instant.
The girl looked at Xiao Cuo as if she was stupid, her face was crimson and she lowered her head, but she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him.
Xiao Cuo didn't seem to see it at all, and only took Fu Ying's hand and saluted closely: "Imperial sister-in-law." ”
"I've seen the imperial sister-in-law." Fu Ying also saluted.
"Get up, don't be polite." The queen smiled gently and lovingly, and asked with concern, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the chiming clock on the table jingled several times. But it was almost lunchtime.
The woman in purple covered her mouth and smiled: "Queen Mother, it's this hour, Prince Xiang and the princess have eaten eighty percent of their lunch. ”
The queen smiled helplessly: "You monkey, a person whose daughter is so old, when you speak, you still have the same virtue as when you were in the boudoir." He looked at Fu Ying with a smile: "Prince Xiang doesn't have to mind, he is Pang Hanlin's wife, and the handkerchief of the palace is handed over." That was Miss Pang. ”
Fu Ying suddenly realized that the queen had not given up yet, and this was to arrange a rival in love to meet him.
Although Mrs. Pang is older, her identity is here. Fu Ying will not depreciate herself to please anyone. It's just a faint chin.
Mrs. Pang sat still.
The Miss Pang bent her knees slightly.
Xiao Cuo frowned, he was going to the emperor, but he was not in a hurry to leave at this time. simply chose a seat on the side and pulled Fu Ying to sit down together.
The queen glanced at Miss Pang, and her eyes seemed to be very clear. teasingly: "Hui'er." Maybe you haven't seen worry-free for a long time, right? ”
Miss Pang blushed and lowered her head. The voice was delicate as if a yellow warbler was out of the valley: "I haven't seen you for a long time." Eyebrows looked at Xiao Cuo: "The prince has always been good?" Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the red Prince and Princess Xiang, and his heart was sour.
The queen and Madame Pang also had a reaction that seemed to be indifferent to Fu Ying.
Fu Ying sat upright, looking at his nose and nose.
Xiao Cuo said in surprise: "We've seen it before?" ”
Miss Pang's face froze. Yan's lips were pursed, her eyes were rippling as if she had a thousand words, and she was already sad when she saw the obvious impatient expression on Xiao Cuo's handsome face.
"Prince Xiang is a noble person who is busy, and at the flower-viewing banquet that year, the courtiers remember that the prince was there." Mrs. Pang smiled and relieved her daughter.
The queen also said: "This palace has some impressions. ”
Xiao Cuo made a long voice "oh", "Flower viewing banquet, this king is busy looking at the flowers, and besides, all the women in the eyes of this king are almost the same, and he won't look at anyone more." If you have seen it, then you have seen it. ”
Fu Ying lowered his head. If not, she was afraid that she couldn't help but smile and make Miss Pang's mother and daughter angry.
Mrs. Pang's face was slightly cold.
The queen still smiled very lovingly: "Worry-free or so casual, what I said, isn't your princess now similar to all women, won't you take a second look?" ”
"That's different." Xiao Cuo looked at the queen with a smile, "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't know, this family affair was obtained by the younger brother of the courtier, not only to persuade the imperial brother, but in Dongsheng Country back then, the younger brother of the courtier worked hard and finally won the favor of the beauty." How can the daughter-in-law who has taken a fancy to herself and asked for so much be similar to all women? ”
The Queen's perfect smile finally cracked.
Miss Pang was already crying.
Xiao Cuo was about to pull Fu Ying up: "It's okay to be polite, sister-in-law, the younger brother will take his daughter-in-law back first." ”
"Busy with what?" The queen's smile stiffened, and she said with a cold face: "The emperor has been waiting for you in the Heart Cultivation Palace, you have been waiting for you for a long time, it seems that there is something to discuss with you, the princess is new, how to be familiar with us." You're a man's family, so it's not good to always meddle in women's affairs, right? ”
The queen was on the verge of an outburst, and everyone could see it.
Xiao Cuo was worried, and touched Fu Ying's forehead without hesitation. The sweat has subsided, and the heat has risen a little.
"You have a fever again, so you wait for me here for a while, I went to see the imperial brother, and said something important and came back immediately."
Fu Ying nodded obediently, and wanted to say that there was no need to be anxious, but the queen had already opened her mouth first: "What can the princess of Xiang have here in this palace?" If you have a cold, a cold, and a fever, it is good to take medicine and rest, and it is worth such a mother-in-law of your father's family, if your imperial brother sees you so carefully, he will talk about you. ”
Xiao Cuo laughed when he heard this, "The imperial brother often mentions with his younger brother how he has a deep relationship with the imperial sister-in-law, and now the younger brother just follows the example of the imperial brother and treats the imperial sister-in-law, how can he be angry?" Saying that, he arched his hand, ignoring the mother and daughter of the Pang family, and only said to Fu Ying: "You wait for me obediently, don't move around, and if you are not comfortable, you can borrow the side hall of the imperial sister-in-law to sleep." I'll be back to pick you up later. ”
Fu Ying got up and sent him off: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
is so well-behaved, delicate and soft, as if it is not her.
Xiao Cuo smiled heartily and walked out quickly. Thinking about going back quickly and taking my daughter-in-law home to rest.
Fu Ying smiled and looked at him, and when he turned around from a distance, he found that the eyes of the queen and the mother and daughter of the Pang family were not quite right.
The queen smiled: "Sit down, since you are such a carefree person, you have to be careful here in this palace, don't bump again, but when the time comes, you have to say that the palace is not considerate, and it is not good to explain to worry-free." ”
Finally showing his sharp teeth.
Seeing the queen talking like this, Fu Ying was a little relieved. As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't leak teeth, and if the queen has been tepid, gentle, and virtuous, she has no intention of piercing the window paper, she will be even more worried. Because open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
Miss Pang didn't wait for Fu Ying to answer, she already smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers and the princess of Hunan felt that they fell in love when they first met, the weather is just right at this time, and it just happened that the flowers in the Kunning Palace are blooming just right, and the courtiers want to invite the princess of Hunan to enjoy the flowers and chat, although the princess is not happy, in the end, it is not the paper lantern that the wind blows. ”
"Look at you, you just want to go out and enjoy the flowers, and you need to talk a lot of nonsense." Mrs. Pang reprimanded.
Miss Pang playfully stuck out her tongue.
Even if it's a grimace, it's beautiful.
Fu Ying knew that the queen would definitely allow it.
Sure enough, the queen nodded, and ordered the powerful grandmother around her to follow, and did not allow others to follow and spoil the interest of the two of them in chatting, so she sent them out.
Zhenyu and Mama Wu under the corridor were not allowed to follow, so they could only stand stupidly and be in a hurry.
Fu Ying and Miss Pang walked to the end of the verandah and sat down next to the fat rocks of the rockery.
Miss Pang said: "The princess is from Dongsheng, what is it like?" How about a big week than us? ”
She knew Miss Pang's hostility. But he didn't deliberately provoke trouble, but said with a smile: "Dongsheng is similar to Da Zhou Fanhua." The people are also more simple. ”
Miss Pang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Oh? That's why I can raise a delicate and beautiful person like the princess, so that the prince loves it so much, loves it to the point that the military power in the world can be entrusted to it, and likes it to the point that he can leave behind the great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he can only retreat to the landscape. ‘
What did she say? The power of the world?
It is true that Emperor Zhou loves Xiao Cuo, and the relationship between the two brothers is also very deep, but Fu Ying does not believe that Emperor Zhou will not have the slightest precaution against Xiao Cuo, after all, the two of them are not the same mother, and the emperor's way of thinking in a high position is different from ordinary people. For them, the brotherhood was originally a little lighter.
So when Miss Pang said this, Fu Ying had already believed ninety percent.
But Fu Ying was still unsure, and only said lightly: "Thank you Miss Pang for the compliment, in fact, I am more curious about in what capacity Miss Pang can say these words to me." May I ask who Miss Pang is from Prince Xiang? ”
Fu Ying asked very sincerely, her watery eyes were hazy due to fever, and her smile was extremely serious, just like friends asking each other's names when they first met.
Miss Pang's face changed when she was choked, and she said coldly: "Is the princess of Xiang really ignorant or pretending to be confused?" Prince Xiang has been a versatile scholar since he was a child, full of talent and learning, but he gave up his future for only one you. Don't you feel the slightest bit guilty?
