- Wang Hong smiled lightly and said: "What the mother concubine said about nonsense refers to the matter of her son's retainers using wheat pipes to soak up water?" ”

"What's more...... Concubine De pointed to the position where those cups had just been put on the table next to her, and said with a slightly surprised face: "Let's just talk about the nine cups of water, and the concubine is also the first time to see it." ”

Wang Hong smiled suddenly and explained: "This is also the trick that those palace maids think, sometimes the ministers suddenly feel thirsty at night. But the stove in the water room of the outer hall was all boiling water, and it couldn't be warmed for a while, and they couldn't do it like the mother concubine, so they cooled the water, so they thought of this way. ”

When Concubine De heard this, her heart moved slightly, and she unconsciously thought of the palace maids in her night. In comparison, although the maids in the Xiaohuai Palace are careful with the rules everywhere, they are also a lot less interesting, so they are told to go to the left. They will never go to the right. Come to Huayang Palace today. Although she was asked to meet a few unruly inferior slaves, it also made her faintly feel that all those palace slaves in her bedroom were not like living people, but like wood.

After a moment of silence. Concubine De said thoughtfully: "It seems." These slaves. It's not that they don't know how to be cautious, and when they poured the water just now, they also knew to blanch all the cups first. ”

At this time, Wang Hong suddenly felt that the time had come. He was about to take advantage of Concubine De's loose mind at the moment to take advantage of the opportunity to say that he had a different opinion on Concubine De's mention just now.

But at this moment, Concubine De spoke before him, but she was about to leave.

"Okay, the concubine won't disturb you here to rest more, so I'll go back." Concubine De said. You have to turn around and go out.

Wang Hong was also about to get up to send off, at this time, Concubine De suddenly turned around, raised her sleeves and made a stopping motion, and then she instructed the two palace maids on the left and right: "The prince was injured and lost blood a few days ago, and his body is a little cold, so don't suffer from the wind and cold again, you two go to the wardrobe behind the screen to get another set of silk carpets and cover the prince." ”

The two palace maids hurriedly responded and walked towards the back of the inner room.

Wang Hong heard this. I was secretly surprised.

In the past, his personal maid Xiaoxing had not left Huayang Palace. He had sent her to monitor Xiaohuai Palace for a few months, so he had long known that there were two kinds of maids around Concubine De, one was the most ordinary palace maid. The other is a killer doctor with good martial arts.

He didn't know if the two palace maids ordered by Concubine De belonged to the category of martial arts. If yes. It's just that with their keen awareness of the sound of people's breathing, it is absolutely difficult for the two people hidden in the wardrobe to continue to be invisible.

The inner mood fluctuates too violently, and the slightest revelation on the face is inevitable.

Concubine De looked at the halfway point of getting up. Wang Hong, who suddenly froze his figure, couldn't help but ask, "Emperor, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No......" Realizing that the frightened look on his face may have been captured by Concubine De's eyes, and the spirit was too tied to the two people hidden in the closet, Wang Hong suddenly felt that his chest was stagnant, and before he could speak, a violent cough rushed to his throat, and he coughed and bowed his back.

Seeing this, Concubine De couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart, and hurriedly walked over, gently stroking his back and smoothing him out, while reproaching because she was worried: "Say be careful not to suffer from the cold, this is coughing, you kid...... For my mother, I'm going to worry about sleepless tonight. ”

Wang Hong wanted to say something, but the cough was too intense, and he couldn't hold it down for a while, and even the corners of his eyes were wet.

"Where's the blanket?! What are you rubbing in the back, hurry up and get it! Concubine De yelled at the two palace maids who were holding silk carpets behind the screen.

The two palace maids quickly took the blanket and came back, both of them trembling lightly, and they were a little afraid of approaching Concubine De, so they only handed the blanket over with their heads hanging very low. Concubine De didn't seem to care about any posture for the time being, and grabbed the soft silk blanket as soon as she reached out, and then helped Wang Hong lie back on the couch and covered him with two blankets.

Because there was an extra blanket, which took up some space, Concubine De didn't see a corner of the booklet that was revealed when the brocade was lifted.

When tucking the quilt for Wang Hong, Concubine De pinched the blanket, her face suddenly became annoyed again, and she said to the two palace maids who went to get the blanket just now: "I asked you to take the blanket, and you don't know how to take the thicker one?!" ”

The two palace maids shook their bodies when they were reprimanded, and they didn't dare to leak a word, and they were so frightened that they hung their already low heads deeper.

Concubine De glared at the two maids—regardless of whether they could see it at this time—and then she looked away, and called the two maids to the back.

The two palace maids who were called to take the quilt were really fast enough, and the quilt they took was thick enough, Concubine De wanted to grab the quilt in her hand as usual, but unexpectedly, the quilt was much heavier than the silk blanket, and she almost fell to the ground without holding it steadily.

She was angry again for a while, and said, "How long has this quilt not been sunburned?" It's as wet as bricks, can this be covered? Go change again! ”

With that, she threw the squarely stacked brocade out with a flick of her hand.

The two frightened palace maids who hung their heads seemed to have eyes on their foreheads. Immediately took a step forward, caught the brocade that the master threw off steadily, and then walked quickly towards the wardrobe behind the screen.

At this time, the second prince Wang Hong finally endured the cough with difficulty, and just saw the action of the two palace maids receiving the quilt, he secretly sank, and saw that these two palace maids were the kind of concubines who would know martial arts, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him: "No need, just cover these two layers, and it is already very warm." ”

Concubine De glanced sideways at him, and saw that he spread out his uninjured hand. And he said, "The palms of my hands are hot and sweaty." ”

Concubine De subconsciously sat down on the edge of the couch. Then she shook the hand that Wang Hong spread out towards her, and then she felt that Wang Hong's hand was hot. She was shocked, and looked up along Wang Hong's forearm, and it was also hot!

"When did you start having a fever? Can't you even feel the discomfort on your body? Concubine De first scolded Wang Hong anxiously. Then she turned her face away. He said urgently: "What are you still standing for?" Go and send the Imperial Doctor! ”

Two more maids ran out.

After retracting her gaze, Concubine De reached out to probe Wang Hong's forehead again. She couldn't help frowning, and read the full text after the madness. Suspiciously, he said: "No wonder the mother didn't notice it just now, your forehead is a little cold, but your body is hot, what's going on?" ”

Wang Hong smiled faintly: "Don't worry, concubine, Erchen doesn't feel so uncomfortable, not to mention that fever at night is a common thing for Erchen before, just take a rest." ”

"You will only tell others not to worry, these people in your palace are used to hearing it, so they really don't worry at all!" Concubine De reproached worriedly, and then her eyes changed slightly. Both hands grabbed Wang Hong's injured hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth. With a strange look in his eyes, he said: "Could it be that this trauma has changed and is doing something?" Ever since you were a child, you've never suffered such a deep sword wound cut into your bones! ”

"Mother, this little injury is not in the way. In the evening, when the imperial doctor came to change the dressing, he saw that the wound was almost healed. Wang Hong smiled and comforted Concubine De. At the same time, the eyes are squinting. I saw that the two palace maids who went to the closet behind the screen to get the quilt had returned.

These two palace maids held two stacks of brocade quilts in their arms. Observing that Concubine De's feelings fluctuated greatly at this time, their eyes shrank a little, and they didn't dare to approach lightly. Just slightly lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside, like two bottles of wood carving.

After the palace maid went three times in a row, Wang Hong's mood fluctuated three times, but seeing that they didn't find the two people outside the palace hiding in the closet three times, he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After his spirit relaxed, Wang Hong was a little puzzled, the palace maids went so often, it was said that the two big living people in the wardrobe would never have escaped, but these two palace maids really just hugged the quilt back.

However, he didn't find that it was much better than catching those two people in front of Concubine De, so Wang Hong didn't think about it much for the time being, and only hoped that Concubine De would go back to her own dormitory soon, so that he could have time to go to the back to take a look in person.

After sorting out his mind a little, Wang Hong looked at Concubine De, and saw that she was holding his injured hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, hesitating to do something, and looking like she had nothing to do, he said gently: "Mother, after waiting for the imperial doctor to treat you later, you can also go back and rest quickly." Tomorrow morning, the retainers may get up later, and on the other side of the South Courtyard, the father and the emperor still need to be taken care of by the mother and concubine. ”

Concubine De nodded and whispered: "Tomorrow you will have a good rest in the dormitory, and your father and emperor will be taken care of by your mother." The matter of you going to ask your father, the emperor and the concubine every day has been waived for the past few days, and the matter is up to the concubine. ”

After saying this, Concubine De sighed, and then she stretched out two fingers, stroked Wang Hong's injured hand gently, and said in a quiet voice: "A few years ago, that day was the birthday of the mother, and you ran to pick the roses in the flower bed as a gift to the mother. You are careful and afraid that your mother will be pricked by the thorns on the flower stalks, so you think that you will take off the thorns first, but you end up pricking your own hands. You have been like this since you were a child, and you always don't know that there are some things that you can call your servants to do, but you have to work hard and hurt yourself. ”

Following Concubine De's story, Wang Hong quickly remembered the incident, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. In fact, the experience of picking roses and being pricked by thorns, he committed quite a lot of crimes when he was a child.

"You were pierced by a thorn, so you always hid it and didn't say anything, but I didn't know that my mother knew your temperament, and when she saw you sending flowers, she would definitely catch your hand and check it." After a slight pause, Concubine De continued: "However, I was pricked by a flower thorn, and I picked the thorn with a needle, and it will be fine in two or three days." It's like this wound on your hand now, it's so deep. The mother concubine had no choice but to watch and be anxious. When this wound heals, I am afraid that there will be a trace. ”

When Concubine De said this, her eyes were already slightly red.

Wang Hong looked at her sadly, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, he moved the hand that was not injured, covered Concubine De's slender hand and clenched it slightly, and said with a smile: "From childhood to adulthood, Erchen will only cause trouble for the mother, what can I do for the mother this time." So what's the point of being hurt? If the mother concubine is sad about this matter again. It is equivalent to saying that Erchen has done something wrong again, which is more distressing to Erchen than the pain of the wound. ”

Hearing this, Concubine De hurriedly picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the wet marks at the corners of her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Okay." The mother is not sad. ”

Looking at Concubine De's tearful and smiling face. At this moment, she was kind and compassionate. really matched the appearance of a mother, Wang Hong's face also showed joy. The mood slowed down slightly, and the cough that had been forced down just now came up a little. He lifted the hand that was covering the back of Concubine De's hand, covered his lips and coughed a few times.

His shoulders trembled, and when he put down his hand, the cotton cloth cloth tucked in his sleeve fell out of the ugly fairy ji.

Wang Hong saw the cotton handkerchief slipping out of his sleeve, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he grabbed the handkerchief in his hand with his backhand, and was about to hide it in the palm of his hand, but he was still a step slow and was seen by Concubine De.

Concubine De's eyes were fixed on the cotton handkerchief that was exposed in half of Wang Hong's palm, and after a while, she moved her gaze back to Wang Hong's face, and said with a smile: "Where did this handkerchief come from, it doesn't seem to be a thing in the palace?" ”

All of a sudden, many thoughts in Wang Hong's mind moved together.

This simple cotton handkerchief is too ordinary, and it is only enough to make a rag in the palace, but it is still too small, and it is impossible for him to find a palace maid to temporarily "top the bag" for Xiaoxing.

After a moment of stunnedness, Wang Hong looked a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "This ...... This is the ...... that Erchen picked up," he said, and with a flick of his fingers, he finally clenched the entire handkerchief into his fist.

"Come on, let the mother also see, what good things you have picked up." Just as Wang Hong was about to stuff the plain cotton handkerchief into his sleeve again, Concubine De reached over and grabbed his fist holding the handkerchief. Seeing this, he could only loosen his fist smoothly. Concubine De picked up the handkerchief in his palm, and as soon as she touched her fingers, she was surprised: "Why is it wet?" What do you do with your wet handkerchief hidden in your sleeve? ”

The look in Wang Hong's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he explained: "Erchen wiped his sweat with a handkerchief just now, and the cotton handkerchief is not easy to dry. ”

Fortunately, this cotton handkerchief has been covered in the sleeve for a long time, otherwise if it were taken out like it at first, it would not be as simple as just wiping sweat.

"These things can be done by calling servants, are these palace maids raised by you in Huayang Palace all decorations?" Concubine De pretended to repend, but most of her attention at this time was actually on the Supa, who had no palace atmosphere.

After shaking off the slightly wet handkerchief with her fingertips and scanning it intently for a moment, Concubine De really found a petal embroidered on the corner of the veil. Although this embroidery is also very simple, only one color of silk thread is used, and the stitching method of the embroidery is also very simple parallel stitches, but it is enough to prove that this veil is a woman's thing.

The handkerchief used by a woman appeared in the hands of a prince, and this handkerchief was too simple, as if it was owned by a folk woman, but it was hidden by a noble prince who lived in the palace with a nervous expression. Between this pap and one person, there seems to be some kind of story...... (To be continued......)
