(863) Calm down

[β˜† more. New. Most. Quick β˜† None. Play. Window β˜† Full. Exempt. fee]-

Xiao Xing's return to Huayang Palace must have been known in advance by a few old people in this palace. ^_^ Read, book, first, send, please, arrive ^_^.

However, the emperor's favorite concubine, the closest adoptive mother to the prince in the palace, and the concubine Niangniang, who still faintly has the momentum of being sealed, the palace people who are despicable and slaves have no right to speak, let alone find an excuse to stop them. The eunuch just shouted loudly, and his voice was suddenly too high, and he inevitably received ten slaps.

"In the dead of night, there is such noise, disturbing the prince's rest, how did you behave?" The door of the outer hall has been opened, and there is only one door separated from the inner room of the dormitory, and Concubine De's slightly annoyed voice came in a little, "The female official wrote down, and during the day, she will be punished by this inferior slave, and she will be confined for three days, and she will copy the rules of the palace pavilion at night again!" ”

In the inner room of the dormitory, Wang Hong had already walked quickly behind the long screen and saw the little star with a shocked face. As for the man he had hidden behind this screen a few days earlier, he was nowhere to be seen.

Concubine De came, Xiaoxing had already heard the sound outside, and before she could say more, Wang Hong grabbed her wrist, pulled her to a row of wardrobes, swept her eyes, opened one of the cabinet doors, and pushed her in.

Tearing up two sets of robes hanging in a person's closet, Wang Hong closed the cabinet door and walked back to the screen quickly.

Although the outer hall is dozens of steps deep, the horizontal distance from the inner room is only about ten steps, when Concubine De has already walked to the door of the inner room, Wang Hong in the room has just sat on the edge of the couch, and it is too late to take off his shoes and lift the quilt to pretend to be asleep.

Looking at the door of the inner room slowly opening, Wang Hong's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly remembered the booklet that Xiao Xing had just handed him to record the affairs of the north. The booklet categorically couldn't be seen by Concubine De, but when he got up and went behind the screen just now, he didn't put it away, I'm afraid it was spread out in a conspicuous place on the couch.

The faint light of the lamp in the dormitory was forced by the palace lamp outside the door that was getting closer and brighter, and the two kinds of light and dark contrasts were intertwined, and everything in the room became blurred. Such as a painting that has been immersed in water.

Wang Hong was anxious, turned around and grabbed the couch indiscriminately, but fortunately his luck was good, and soon his fingers touched the edge of the booklet. Hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it under the brocade quilt.

There was no more time for him to have a chance to hide the booklet in a more secret place, the door of the inner room of the dormitory had been opened, and under the light of the Huanghuang Palace lamp, Xiao Wanting, the richly dressed concubine, stepped lightly and walked in.

With the entry of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, the seat lamps and corner lamps in the dormitory were lit, and the room was suddenly illuminated, and the second prince sitting on the edge of the couch squinted slightly.

When Concubine De walked into the inner room of the dormitory, she saw that the second prince Wang Hong was not lying on the couch, but sitting on the edge of the couch. And her feet were already in her shoes, as if she was about to get up, Concubine De couldn't help but feel surprised, and at the same time she had some doubts in her heart.

Wang Hong didn't seem to have just been woken up by the shouts of the eunuch outside the door, but as if he had already woken up. But the palace maid who stayed in the inner room to keep vigil was at the gate outside the palace, so what happened in this inner room just now?

"Mother." Wang Hong saw that Concubine De had already come in, so he called first, and then got up to greet him, "Erchen to meet the concubine ......."

Without waiting for Wang Hong to bow down, Concubine De walked a little hurriedly, raised her hand and held his forearm. smiled and said, "It's almost free, you are still polite to the concubine, sit down." ”

Concubine De wanted to help Wang Hong back to lean on the couch, but Wang Hong was afraid that as soon as she lifted the quilt, she would see the booklet he hastily hid under the brocade quilt, so she just sat back on the side of the couch, and then immediately called the palace maid to wait for Concubine De to sit down.

Although Concubine De had doubts. But she didn't show anything immediately, she just followed Wang Hong's wishes first, but she ordered the palace maid to move the chair to the side of the couch, and she sat down.

When she saw Wang Hong's sweaty forehead clearly, Concubine De's face suddenly showed worry. She took a silk handkerchief from her waist and dried it for him, while saying compassionately, "Why do you sweat so much?" Wasn't it okay when you just came back from outside the palace? ”

Wang Hong just smiled lightly at this and overshadowed it with the old words: "Erchen has been so easy to drag down other people's physique since he was a child, in fact, it's nothing, it will ease up after a night's rest, a good-looking novel:." ”

"That is, you dare to treat yourself like this." Concubine De couldn't help but reproach, "Mother Concubine watched you pay half a lifetime of hard work from just learning to walk staggeringly to growing into your current handsome descendant, you should owe me, you need to take good care of yourself, you know?" ”

"The retainers obeyed." Wang Hong lowered his head slightly.

Concubine De sighed faintly, and then said slowly: "The concubine just heard from the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Bureau, the injury in your palm was just a little better, and it was broken again, the imperial doctor said that this time you must take care of it carefully, the concubine was worried, so she came to see you." You're used to getting sick at night, how are you feeling now? If you feel uncomfortable, you must not hide it, and you must call someone to serve it in time, you know? ”

"Erchen knows." Wang Hong raised his head slowly, "Thank you, Concubine, for your advice." ”

"Now that you have grown up, it is impossible for your mother to watch you to sleep every night like when you were a child, so she can only tell you from time to time and teach you to pay more attention to yourself. Fortunately, in recent years, you have been less reborn, which makes the mother feel much more at ease. While speaking, Concubine De reached out and touched Wang Hong's forehead, only to feel a little cold when she touched it, and she couldn't help but say again: "It's so cold, hurry up and get into the quilt to cover it." ”

Seeing that Concubine De hadn't gotten up yet, Wang Hong hurriedly moved, and sure enough, he "drilled" into the brocade quilt. He didn't dare to open it, still afraid that the booklet would be exposed. After getting into the quilt, he moved his body very slightly, pressing the book under his legs, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine De was actually about to stand up and help Wang Hong tuck the quilt just now, and the reason why she didn't act was because she was used to glancing at the ground before getting up, and then she saw the burning fire on the ground next to her feet......

She didn't drop her hand to pick it up, but her eyes fixed on the fire fold for a moment, and then she said with a little annoyance, "What's going on?" The palace is heavy, how many times do you have to be admonished to be careful about the fire candle? Which rough slave left this behind? If you stand up and confess your guilt, you can also ask for some forgiveness, don't wait for the palace to interrogate them one by one! ”

Among the several palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace who were in charge of keeping vigil today, none of them made a sound.

Wang Hong, who was already nestled in the quilt, leaned over when he heard the sound and glanced down at Concubine De's gaze, and he quickly understood what was happening. His eyes changed for a moment, and there must be one thing that he couldn't bypass today, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

The fire fold was also left by Xiaoxing, a woman in a cloth skirt who suddenly appeared in the inner room of the dormitory just now, which was a small accident. Fortunately, this kind of fire fold is very ordinary, and it is not possible to see the traces left by someone's personality from above. However, in order to hide this doubt, there must be a palace slave who has to suffer some grievances tonight.

Facing the silence of all voices, the couch shrouded in silk tents. The second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting quietly leaning on two soft pillows, suddenly spoke: "It was probably accidentally dropped by the palace maid who held the lamp just now, it's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth the mother's life and sadness." ”

Although he said it lightly, as long as these words came out of his mouth, Concubine De would never spare the mistake of the palace maid who held the lamp.

There is no need for anyone to identify it, and the arrangement of the palace slaves for the nightly vigil in the dormitory has long been finalized. The second prince was only halfway through his words, and among the palace maids standing on both sides, one of them knelt down with a "bang" and begged for mercy and cried out for mercy. She was guarding the inner room of the dormitory just now, and she was summoned by the second prince. I went to the palace maid who lit the triangular glass lamp.

The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't say anything again, in order to hide the traces of Xiaoxing, he had to do this. As for this lady who seems to have only been elected to Huayang Palace for a short time, she has to compensate for the grievances she has suffered today. We'll have to talk about it another day.

Seeing that the palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if she had really been wronged, among the several slaves of Huayang Palace present, there was an older eunuch who vaguely grasped the intention of the second highness, not only did not help the palace maid speak, but also said a little meaningfully: "Don't argue anymore, you can review it yourself." When did His Royal Highness wronged which palace servant? It's all your own rudeness, do you still want to throw the responsibility to Your Highness? ”

Concubine De's last hesitation was also removed by the eunuch's words, and anger gradually appeared on her face, a beautiful novel:.

The eunuch was right, the second prince Wang Hong may have developed a gentle temperament since he was a child because of his poor physical condition. is rarely angry, and naturally there are few angers towards the servants in the palace. Over time, he gradually became a rare good master in the hearts of most palace slaves in the harem.

And as a prince, the wisdom of the gentleman he learns, and the breeze that he cultivates. The generosity of character and goodness are not a problem. It's completely unimaginable that he should do the thing of framing a little palace maid, and if the palace maid denies it again, it will be a bit like throwing dirt on His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to speak out anymore, and after listening to the eunuch's accusation, although she had some hatred in her heart, she also had some doubts about herself, was it really her negligence just now? The eunuch's words were not all wrong, how could His Royal Highness wronged himself as a little palace maid?

"Doing things so crudely, and refusing to bear the mistakes after committing them, how can the emperor's bedroom be left with such a bad servant." Concubine De, who was silent for a moment, spoke coldly, and at the same time flicked her sleeves, "Let's go to the Huanyi Bureau tonight, you will be more diligent there in the future, and you will not even live up to this last master's expectations." ”

As soon as Concubine De's words were finished, two of the palace maids who surrounded her here stood up, stretched out their hands on the shoulders of the kneeling palace maids, and quickly carried her out.

After saying the words that could almost change the fate of a palace maid just now, Wang Hong, the second prince sitting in the brocade quilt, kept his eyes slightly lowered. He also heard the words of the eunuch, and in fact he was exactly that kind of person, accustomed to treating all those around him gently, and did not like to treat these people who served him carefully as cattle, horses, and livestock, and he would not feel the slightest pleasure in his heart when he saw these people being punished.

What's more, the punishment that this palace maid received at this time was indeed forced on her own head. But of course, he can also understand that the eunuch suddenly spoke, and his help was very appropriate, although that would cause the palace maid to be punished more severely, but he still had to firmly protect Xiaoxing's original intention.

It's just that this practice of needing to hurt one person in order to protect another person makes him feel a little sorry after all.

After disposing of the palace maid, Concubine De let out a long breath, as if she had not completely relieved her hatred. After calming down a little, Concubine De turned her gaze and looked at Wang Hong through a layer of foggy silk tent, and said helplessly in her tone: "When the concubine first came over, she was still wondering, why did all the people in your palace stand at the gate, and now it can be seen that these palace slaves are not serving well, so they were driven out by you." But why don't you know that slaves are not useful, and it is useless to just drive them away, so they have to be replaced. The concubine has told you this many times. It's all for your own good, why don't you just refuse to do it? ”

Wang Hong was silent for a moment, it was really not good to help Concubine De to be angry anymore, and implicate the servants in his palace to suffer a lot. He said softly: "The slaves and maids in Huayang Palace are usually very conscientious in serving their sons, and occasionally there are some negligence, and it is not a big deal. ”

"Teach them to abide by the rules of the palace, and naturally there are grandmothers and female officials in the palace doing it. You are a dignified son, and you must not be entangled in these trivial matters, and you should really take on the big things. If you have to worry about these things, will those grandmothers and female officials who are full-time discipline the new palace maids and eunuchs have a leisurely meal? The more Concubine De spoke, the more angry the anger on her face became, and she paused halfway through the conversation. Her eyes were slightly sharp, and she said sentence by sentence: "No, the mother concubine still doesn't worry about you, change Ming'er, the mother concubine will call a few more grandmothers over...... Check out you, the slave in Huayang Palace, to see who hasn't done it carefully enough. Slaves who are not qualified to stay here will all have to be changed in this palace! ”

As soon as Concubine De's words were finished, all the palace maids and eunuchs present were so frightened that their hearts trembled, including the few servants who served Concubine De who came here with Concubine De, and their eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of panic. Today's check is Huayang Palace, maybe tomorrow it will be the turn of your own Xiaohuai Palace. And Xiaohuai Palace is not protected by a good-natured master like His Royal Highness. If it is really investigated, I am afraid that the situation of the palace slaves in Xiaohuai Palace will be even more desolate.

And the second prince Wang Hong was suddenly taken aback after listening to Concubine De's words. If Concubine De wanted to check his palace maids on the grounds of eliminating bad slaves, her father would definitely agree. He didn't know what Concubine De's censorship standards for the palace maids and eunuchs were, but it depended on the two people she disposed of today. Once she really started to check, the palace servants who were already familiar with her dormitory would definitely be excluded, and then some new people would be filled.

This will greatly disrupt his camp in the palace, and no one knows if Concubine De arranges new palace servants to serve by his side, whether these newcomers are her henchmen, and other book friends are watching:. Since then. If I want to get out of the palace quietly, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. And if you want to check the reason for the death of Concubine Ye's virtuous concubine back then, it will also take more time because it is not easy to get out of the palace.

In addition, once there is a newcomer like ZΓ i among the servants of Huayang Palace, Xiaoxing's chances of coming back will become even slimmer, and the person he hid behind the screen of the head of the dormitory will not be able to stay here any longer.

But I coincidentally can't refuse to Concubine De at this time.

In the past, when Xiaoxing was still a maid in Huayang Palace, Wang Hong sent her to secretly supervise the palace where Concubine De lived, and at that time he had already discovered that Concubine De was not a simple-minded woman. She has cultivated a few powerful personal maids, but she usually does not show the slightest appearance, and only acts as an ordinary palace maid. Wang Hong believes that Concubine De's nurturing and loving love for him can contain true feelings, but this does not mean that she does not have any other thoughts.

Could it be that she had also noticed something strange in Huayang Palace?

If this is the case, his refusal at this time, no matter how tactful the wording, will arouse her greater suspicion.

Can...... Is that acceptable?

After frowning slightly and thinking for a while, Wang Hong still did not refute Concubine De's decision, he slowly opened his mouth and just instructed the eunuch who was in charge of the lantern palace maid just now: "Ajia, this palace is thirsty." ”

"Your Highness, wait a minute." The eunuch who was called Aja hurriedly answered and went out with a palace maid.

The main hall of Huayang Palace inside and outside is equipped with a small water room, and the fire is continuous all night, and boiling water is available at any time. Aja soon came in with a crane-beak kettle, and when the palace maid he took out came back, she already had an extra tray in her hand, and on the tray was a set of bone china tea sets, a teapot, and only a tea cup.

Seeing this scene, Concubine De suddenly remembered something, and immediately questioned: "It's time to fall asleep, and you are still preparing to serve tea?" ”

The eunuch Ajia has been in Huayang Palace for several years, and he has long qualifications and experience, and he is more able to calm down in the face of Concubine De's questioning. After a little consideration, he explained: "Niangniang is angry, please listen to the cheap slave explain, this is the habit of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the water must be warm before entering the mouth." ”

"Oh?" Concubine De was surprised.

The eunuch Aja ordered the maid to put the tray on the table, and then only the teapot was removed, and the nine teacups were still placed in the tray in two rows. Then he carried the big iron kettle in his hand, and moved it up and down, and there was half a cup of boiling water in the nine tea cups in the tray.

The action of pouring water is fast and smooth, and there is hardly a drop of excess hot water spilled on the outside of the tray.

Immediately afterwards, the palace maid lifted the porcelain lid of the teapot that had been removed from the tray before, and then she shook the boiling water in the nine teacups in turn. Poured into the teapot, and then put the nine bone china teacups that had been scalded back into the tray in turn, still two rows up and down.

The eunuch Aja once again carried the large boiling kettle with the crane beak in his hand, and this time he did not move it up and down. Instead, it filled only one cup.

The palace maid approached the table again, and did not shake the cup of boiling water again, but poured it into the teapot beside her, but started with the cup of boiling water, and poured it through the nine bone china cups in turn.

When it was her turn to pour into the last bone china cup, she picked up the cup of boiling water, which was no longer steaming, paused lightly on a soft velvet handkerchief in the tray, wiped off the starry water stains at the bottom of the cup, and finally walked to the couch with the cup of water.

There were already two astute palace maids, one left and one right, who reached out and lifted a corner of the silk tent.

"Your Highness, the water is warm. It's time to moisten your mouth. The palace maid with the cup stood on the edge of the couch, and did not dare to sit on it, but leaned her upper body and handed the cup over with both hands.

As soon as the second prince Wang Hong took the cup, he heard the eunuch Ajia ask softly again: "Your Highness." Need a straw? ”

Wang Hong shook his head slightly, raised his hand holding the teacup higher, took a shallow sip first, and then drank the warm water in the cup into his stomach in three or two sips. He exhaled comfortably as he handed back the empty cup.

Concubine De has been watching this scene silently, and several doubts have risen in her heart, at this time. She looked at the eunuch Aja and asked, "What is the 'wheat pipe' you just mentioned?" ”

"It's a kind of tubule." As the eunuch Aja spoke, he reached out and took a small long box that had been placed in the tray a long time ago, opened the lid of the box, and bowed down and passed his hands over his forehead, so that Concubine De could see the contents of the box. Then he went on to explain: "It is taken from the stalks of ripe wheat, and each one is carefully inspected and washed by the slaves, and sometimes when His Highness is thirsty at night, he uses this stalk so that he can drink water without sitting up." Won't choke either. ”

Concubine De listened to his explanation, and a look of novelty appeared in her eyes.

In the early years, she lived with Wang Chi in the north, where wheat was the longest crop sown by the peasants. Wheat in the north resists the windy climate, and because of some geographical and soil conditions, it generally grows with thick stems and large ears. But at this time, Concubine De saw that although the box held by the eunuch Ajia was indeed wheat straw, it obviously looked like southern wheat.

"How did you get this thing?" Concubine De stretched out her fingers and picked up a wheat pipe, looked up and down at the section of the nozzle at both ends, and said, "Is this thing safe?" ”

The eunuch Ajia lowered his eyebrows and said, "This kind of wheat pipe has been refined by a special process designed by Kyoto merchants, and is used in many teahouses. However, the batch of people who purchased into the palace was opened by the Hu Workshop with a single work area, so there should be no problems. ”

"Hu's Workshop?" Concubine De raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's a big factory ranked fourth among the five major workshops in Kyoto, how could they make such a gadget?" ”

"Because this batch of wheat pipes is for the use of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, in addition, the palace people on the eldest princess's side also have to purchase some, so they appointed the Hu family workshop to make zuΓ². The processing technology of wheat pipe is not complicated, and small workshops can generally make zuΓ², but only the products made by Hu's workshop are produced by the humble slaves, and the cheap slaves dare to purchase them and serve them for His Royal Highness. When Aja said this, he seemed to remember another thing, and after a slight pause, he hurriedly added: "However, the Hu Workshop's errand is not without any income. Whenever the palace finishes purchasing these fine things, the owner of the Hu Fang will sell the remaining part to several teahouses in Kyoto at a high price, because the quality and honor rely on the afterglow of His Royal Highness the Prince, the owner of the Hu Fang will naturally collect a good price. ”

Concubine De couldn't help but smile when she heard Aja's words come to this point: "It's just something made from wheat straw, how high can it be sold for?" Besides, do Kyoto residents get used to borrowing this little thing to drink tea? ”

"The mother calmed her anger and let the cheap slave say something disrespectful. In fact, this is also His Majesty's holy edict in front, the people of the family, must not rely on the royal status to bear the benefits of the people, no matter what, you must not let the merchants who do things for the palace do loss-making business. With this errand, the owner of Hu Fang borrowed some of the glory of His Royal Highness the prince to earn back the capital, which was barely counted within the rules. When the eunuch Ajia said this, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly, and quietly glanced at Concubine De's face at this time. Seeing that her face was quite calm, he added: "As for whether the residents of Kyoto are used to using this wheat pipe, the cheap slave has also asked the owner of Hu Fang curiously, and explained in his words that the sales of this little thing in Kyoto are not bad. Otherwise, there would not be so many small workshops for mass production. Presumably...... I guess Kyoto residents are used to it. ”

"Oh......" Concubine De groaned and said leisurely: "Listen to what you just said, Huayang Palace and the princess are all using this kind of thing. It seems that only the main palace has not yet known? ”

The eunuch Ajia was slightly stunned when he heard this, but soon he came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Niangniang is angry, because this kind of thing is ...... When I used it, I more or less damaged Yayi, so ......"

Aja was extremely careful at the beginning of his speech, for fear of giving Concubine De the slightest reason for anger, but unconsciously, he still said it to a dead end. Is it indecent to use a straw? Concubine De can't lose her posture, so His Royal Highness the Second Prince doesn't need posture? Princesses don't need it anymore?

Aja's tone of voice gradually became hesitant, and the soap-colored eunuch suit was inside. Cold sweat began to break out on the back.

At this moment, Wang Hong, the second prince who had been sitting quietly on the couch after moistening his throat with warm water, suddenly said loudly: "Ajia, you should retreat first." ”

When the eunuch Ajia heard that he was amnesty, he hurriedly responded and confessed to Concubine De. He picked up the crane's beak iron kettle with more than half a pot of boiling water, took the palace maid to clean up the cups on the table, and retreated from the inner room to the outer hall, where other book friends were reading:.

Her eyes stopped on the backs of the pair of eunuchs and palace maids going out, and Concubine De turned her face to look at Wang Hong, and said with a slight smile: "The slaves in Huayang Palace also have some cuteness, even some places are finally messing around. ”

Wang Hong smiled lightly and said, "What the mother concubine said is nonsense. Does it mean that the sons and daughters use wheat pipes to sip 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 suddenly smiled 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 in the outer hall is boiling water. 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. Unconsciously, I thought of the palace maids in my palace. In comparison, although the maids in the Xiaohuai Palace are careful with the rules everywhere, they are also a lot less interesting, and if they are told to go to the left, they will never go to the right. Today's trip to Huayang Palace, although she met a few unruly inferior slaves, but at the same time, she also faintly felt that those palace slaves in her bedroom were all a little well-behaved not like living people, but like wood.

After a moment of silence, Concubine De said thoughtfully: "It seems that these slaves are not at all unaware of caution, and when they poured water just now, they also knew to burn all the cups first. ”

At this time, Wang Hong suddenly felt that the time had come, and 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 that she was going 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.

When Wang Hong heard this, he was secretly surprised-

(717), sinister -

*

In the past, when his personal maid Xiaoxing had not left Huayang Palace, he had sent her to monitor Xiaohuai Palace for a few months, so he had already known that there were two kinds of maids around Concubine De, one was an ordinary palace maid, and the other was a good martial artist.

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

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

Concubine De looked at Wang Hong, who was halfway up and suddenly froze her figure, and 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. Hurriedly walked over, gently stroked his back, and calmed him down, while reproaching because of worry: "Say be careful not to suffer from the cold." That's a cough, 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, good novel:! 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-textured silk carpet as soon as she reached out. 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. His face suddenly became annoyed again, and he shouted to the two palace maids who had just gone to get the blankets: "I told you to bring the blankets, and you don't know how to bring the thicker ones?!" ”

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 maidsβ€”regardless of whether they could see it at this timeβ€”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 carpet, 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 picking up the quilt, and his heart sank secretly. Seeing that these two palace maids were the kind of people under Concubine De who could do martial arts, they hurriedly opened their mouths to stop them: "No need, just cover these two layers, and it will already be very warm." ”

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

Concubine De subconsciously sat down on the edge of the couch, and then held 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 and said urgently: "What are you still standing for, go and call 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 said in surprise: "No wonder Concubine 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, and she grabbed Wang Hong's injured hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth with both hands, and said with a different color: "Could it be that this external injury 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 comforted Concubine De with a smile, and at the same time squinted, seeing that the two palace maids who went to the closet behind the screen to get the quilt had returned.

The two palace maids held two stacks of brocade quilts in their arms, and when they observed that Concubine De's love fluctuated greatly at this time, their eyes shrank a little, and they didn't dare to approach lightly, but just stood aside quietly with their eyes slightly lowered, 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
