187 The Smiling Prince

Princess Lin'an returned to the mansion, pushed open the door, the maid hurriedly bowed and saluted, Princess Lin'an asked with eagerness, "Is he awake?" ”

The maidservant said in a low voice: "Yes, Nan Gongzi just woke up in the afternoon, but he refused to take medicine or drink porridge. It's just a man lying down, and he doesn't listen to anyone. ”

Princess Lin'an's heart ached, and she scolded: "Useless things, even a patient can't see it well!" The maidservants knew the temper of Princess Lin'an, and for fear of being blamed, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they immediately knelt on the ground. Princess Lin'an stopped talking nonsense with them, walked forward, walked to the bedside, and said softly: "Jiang Nan, you listen to me and take the medicine well." In this way, it can get better quickly. ”

Jiang Nan was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood this time, and he had to be cleaned and changed by others every day, but he was still bloody, at this moment he was lying on the bed, but he couldn't be next to the bed board, he could only frown, and turned to the side slightly, the bedding under him had already been soaked in blood, almost dark ochre color. Princess Lin'an felt a pain in her heart that she had never felt before, and she found that she cared more and more about Jiang Nan, and this attitude was not at all the attitude that a male pet should have...... She said softly: "I have already entered the palace just now, and I ask the queen mother to avenge you." ”

Of course, she didn't mention Jiang Nan a word, if she dared to say that her original intention was for a male pet, I was afraid that Queen Pei would definitely not spare her.

Jiang Nan still didn't react, Princess Lin'an personally took a bowl of porridge, blew it, and then said softly: "What the queen mother promised has never been impossible to do." I feel the same way that you were humiliated that day, and I hate that I can't be tortured instead of you, and I was scolded by the prince afterwards. You were unconscious yesterday, I specially showed my face and begged the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat you, you refused to take medicine, and I didn't think about tea and dinner. In the past, only others came to please me, but for you, I can do without the honor of the princess and the face of a woman, even if you pity me for your true feelings, you can also drink a mouthful of porridge. ”

Jiang Nanhuo lifted the futon, and Princess Lin'an clearly saw that he only moved slightly, and new blood flowed onto the futon, and it didn't have time to coagulate, turning into a dazzling red blood mark. She stopped in a hurry, subconsciously took a step back, looked at his face, but didn't dare to speak rashly.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could almost hear each other's breathing. Everyone thought that Jiang Nan would not speak again, but he did.

"I ...... Know your heart. Jiang Nan's voice was very indifferent. There seemed to be hatred in the pupils, and it was about to come out, but his face was as cold as jade, and he couldn't see a trace of blood.

A smile immediately appeared on Princess Lin'an's face, and she gently brought the porridge to his lips: "Okay, good, as long as you are willing to take medicine and eat, let me do anything." ”

When the maidservants saw the appearance of Princess Lin'an, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again. They don't understand, in terms of appearance, Nan Gongzi is not the most handsome; In terms of personality, it is not the most gentle. But Princess Lin'an seemed to be fascinated by him, and never refused to wronged him in the slightest, and even violated normal nature, and had to protect him in front of so many wealthy families. Now, knowing that Miss Guo has the support of the Guo family and His Royal Highness King Xu, she still has to avenge Jiang Nan, is this crazy? What's so good about this man?

They don't know the answer to this question, but Princess Lin'an may not know. She was just taking care of Jiang Nan with joy at the moment, and when she turned around and saw that the maids were still there, she changed her face with a cold look and said, "What are you still doing here!" Get down! ”

With such a sound, she changed from a tender lover to a high-ranking princess, and the maidservants hurriedly retreated.

Jiang Nan saw that there were no outsiders in the room, so he said, "How is Empress Pei prepared?" ”

Princess Lin'an didn't expect him to ask like this, so she said a little hesitantly: "This ...... I can't figure out the thoughts of the queen mother. ”

Jiang Nan's wound was painful, and he still had a high fever on his forehead, so he was in a worse mood when he heard this, and said angrily: "You don't know anything? How is this possible! ”

Princess Lin'an's eyes had a look of injury, but she breathed even lowered: "My queen mother, who is originally scheming, never wants to tell outsiders what she thinks, don't say it's me, it's her favorite prince, and I can't guess her thoughts......"

Jiang Nan sneered and said, "What am I?" It's just a male pet. If the princess finds it inconvenient to say something to me, I will not force it. I didn't force you to go and completely turn your face with the Guo family for me! ”

Princess Lin'an's beautiful face changed color, and she hurriedly covered Jiang Nan's mouth and said, "Don't let you say that!" Anyone can look at you like this, but I have never, in my heart, you are my husband, my relatives, and my most important man. ”

Jiang Nan was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that in Princess Lin'an's heart, he would be so important. But he didn't feel the slightest emotion at the moment, what came to his mind was the idea of how to use Princess Lin'an's infatuation to take revenge. He stared at her tearful eyes and said coldly, "Since you see me like this, why don't you tell me the truth?" ”

Princess Lin'an's face showed an embarrassed look, if she could, she really didn't want to expose her affairs in front of Jiang Nan, because it was something that hurt her self-esteem very much. But in the face of his questioning, she had to tell the truth: "My eldest brother is the first child of the queen mother, and he is a boy, so she almost devoted all her attention to cultivating him. After I was born, she just left me in the care of my nurse and never hugged me herself. Later, with An Guo, I thought she would be treated the same as me, but the queen mother loved her very much, and even the people around her were only willing to send their own henchmen to take care of her. When I was a child, I once went to see my sister, and I was just near her cradle, but I was slapped by my mother...... I really don't understand why the same daughter, she loves An Guo so much...... It's been like this for so many years, she gives Anguo whatever she wants, what about me? She is so laissez-faire that she is even willing to trade my marriage, but An Guo can marry the man she wants to marry as she likes. ”

Princess Lin'an's voice was very gentle, and the resentment in her eyes gradually emerged, but when she raised her head to look at Jiang Nan, those hatreds had disappeared: "So I just said, I can't guess what the queen mother is thinking, and those are definitely not perfunctory words to you." ”

"If I can't take revenge in this life, I'm willing to cut it off myself." Jiang Nan interrupted her because he didn't care about Princess Lin'an's past!

Princess Lin'an showed a trace of anxiety on her face, and said, "Don't worry, what I promised you will definitely be done for you!" However, you have to take care of your injuries! ”

Jiang Nan's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked out of the window not far away, as if he hadn't heard what Princess Lin'an said at all, and now, he just wanted to find an opportunity to break Li Weiyang's body into pieces! No matter what it takes!

Guo Mansion, Li Weiyang just came out of the courtyard, and the girl hurriedly came over to salute and said, "Miss, princess, please go quickly!" ”

Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. In fact, Princess Chen Liu is a very kind old lady, and she always likes to chat with her juniors, but the Guo brothers don't like to gossip with her, and she has her eyes on Li Weiyang as soon as she comes and goes. And Li Weiyang used to do things to accompany Mrs. Li, and she was also very good at getting along with the elderly. So much so that later, Princess Chen Liu liked Li Weiyang more and more, if she didn't go, Princess Chen Liu would send someone to call her, or ask her to accompany Mrs. Guo, in fact, to relieve her boredom. Probably for this old lady, life in the house is really suffocating.

When she arrived at Princess Chenliu, the old lady was holding her forehead, with a headache, Li Weiyang glanced at Mrs. Guo, and she didn't know why. Mrs. Guo was originally embarrassed, but when she saw Li Weiyang's brows, she immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's just in time, persuade your grandmother for me." She has thirst, some food must not be touched, the doctor has repeatedly told me, but now I came over, there are a lot of things on the table. ”

Li Weiyang took a look, a boiled duck's head in sugar water on the table, four or five soft and crispy pastries, all coated with honey, smelled fragrant, very delicious. She was stunned, Princess Chen Liu is very fond of sweets, but after suffering from thirst two years ago, the imperial doctor repeatedly told her family not to let her touch these things again, but she couldn't control it...... Thinking of the first time she saw her, she took out desserts to entertain herself, Li Weiyang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Grandmother, didn't you promise us never to touch these sweets again?" ”

Princess Chen Liu was sitting on the side with an embarrassed expression, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said, "I didn't eat it!" Today, two old aunts who used to serve me came to visit me, and I specially ordered the small kitchen to be made for themβ€”"

Mrs. Guo was angry and funny: "My daughter-in-law's eyes are very real, and you just sent that honey candy cake to your mouth!" ”

Princess Chen Liu muttered, "It's just a little bit!" I'll try it! In the past two years, you have confiscated much food from me, and if it goes on like this, I don't know what the sweetness looks like! ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she shook her head with a wry smile on her face and said, "I'm also doing it for your good!" ”

The two granddaughters-in-law Jiang and Chen next to them all laughed quietly, the older they are, the more they look like children, and Princess Chen Liuchang has carried this sentence to the end. Every time she argued with Mrs. Guo for a long time over food, of course, it was Mrs. Guo who won in the end! It's just that Princess Chen Liu is really pitiful, every time she has nothing to eat, she shows an expression that the sky is about to fall apart, which makes people angry and funny. In fact, in the past two years, Mrs. Guo has changed her way to change her food, but the princess's condition has become more and more serious, and they have to cut off her last bit of love for honey, which is also for the sake of her health!

Li Weiyang felt strange, not long after she entered the mansion, she found that Princess Chen Liu liked sweets, especially honey. In the past, in order to ensure that the princess could eat fresh honey, Mrs. Guo specially raised bees in the garden to make jujube nectar and acacia nectar, which was enough for Princess Chen Liu. But now the beehive has long been deserted, and the maids and maids have been told that they will never dare to use honey for the princess, so where does the honey on this pastry come from? If it is true that as the princess said, she brought out the pastries to entertain the guests, then did the other party bring this honey? No, it's impossible, where is the reason to take the gifts from the guests and entertain the guests in return.

Mrs. Guo noticed her daughter's thoughtful expression, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just brought Yuqian cake, there is no sugar and honey, but it is also delicious, grandmother want to taste it?" In the tone, there was clearly a hint of coaxing.

Princess Chen Liu looked at the food box held by Zhao Yue behind her, as if she wanted to see it and was a little embarrassed, and finally couldn't help but say, "Is it delicious?" With anticipation in his eyes, he looked like a child.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Princess Chen Liu immediately said, "What are you laughing at, I'll just ask casually." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "You can taste it." As she spoke, she took the food box from Zhao Yue's hand, took the initiative to open it and sent it to the small coffee table, and a fresh aroma immediately came out of the food box. Princess Chen Liu picked up the ivory chopsticks and tasted them, and said with wide eyes: "Well, it's really fragrant!" And a sweet taste! ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she immediately looked at Li Weiyang. Li Weiyang knew that she was worried, so he explained: "Mother, don't worry, there is no sugar in this elm cake, but it is a young elm money that has not borne seeds from the elm tree, and the noodles are sprinkled with water, and steamed into layers of elm money cakes, because elm money is born with a little sweetness, so it tastes sweet." ”

Mrs. Guo was relieved when she heard that nothing else was put in it, and she watched Princess Chen Liu eat two pieces in three or two bites, and reminded: "Don't eat too much, you will have dinner later." ”

Princess Chen Liu had already destroyed three pieces in the blink of an eye, and when she heard this, she frowned and said, "I don't like to eat those meals." ”

Mrs. Guo sighed and said, "Those are the meals that the Imperial Doctor personally dispensed to you, although the taste is not delicious, it is good for your condition......

"Alright, alright! You're not as old as me, but you're longer than me! Princess Chen Liu put down her chopsticks and beckoned to Li Weiyang with a smile, Li Weiyang walked in front of her and was pulled by her to sit down.

"Jia'er, you are still sensible and know my grandmother's thoughts." Princess Chen Liu patted the back of her hand, obviously very satisfied with her righteous help.

When Jiang heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "However, can you also eat elm leaves?" "Most of the suburbs are overgrown with elm trees, but no one ever thought that they could be used to make pastries!

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "It can be eaten, and it also has the effect of strengthening the spleen and calming the nerves, clearing the heart and reducing fire, which is very suitable for people of grandmother's age, and it is not a serious eat, just a seasoning." ”

"My sister really thinks about it! Is this how to eat the calendar? When Chen saw Jiang speak, he asked the same. She has a goose egg face and almond eyes, which is not only beautiful but also pleasing, and even her voice is sweet, making people feel as sweet as drinking a sip of honey. Thinking of Chen Xuanhua's serious appearance, it is really hard to believe that they are the same mother.

Seeing that Chen asked about this, Princess Chen Liu also asked, "Yes, this kind of thing...... Have you eaten it over there too? ”

Li Weiyang smiled, of course the nobles of the Great Calendar would not touch this kind of thing. It's just that when she was in the countryside, the farmer often treated her harshly, forcing her to work hard but not giving her food, and she could only fill her stomach with dried sweet potatoes and moldy gruel for each meal. In order to be able to survive, Li Weiyang had to do everything possible to find food, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and growing on trees...... It's just that her favorite is elm money leaves, which can be dried and ground into powder, and then mixed in thick noodles and cooked in a steamer, which becomes elm money cake, which is just right for hunger. However, there is no way to send such a rough thing to Princess Chen Liu, so Li Weiyang ordered the kitchen to make a lot of improvements, using the finest noodles, and specially picking osmanthus flowers to season, and drizzling sesame oil and seasoning juice, how can it not be delicious after such a procedure? "It's a favorite thing for ordinary people, but I've made some changes to make it more delicious."

Seeing that she just said a few words simply, and didn't continue to say deeply, Mrs. Guo guessed something, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously held Li Weiyang's other hand and held it very tightly. How much this daughter suffered in the past, no matter how much she asked, the other party refused to say. She knew that Jia'er was afraid that she would be worried about being a mother. It's just that the more silent she is, the easier it is for herself to be cranky.

When Princess Chen Liu saw this scene, she hurriedly said, "Come, you all taste it, it's really sweet." ”

The Jiang family immediately cut a piece for Mrs. Guo, and then divided a small piece for Li Weiyang and the Chen family, and several people gathered together to eat this kind of civilian food, and the atmosphere in the room at the moment seemed extremely warm, Li Weiyang looked at it, and his heart was slightly relieved.

If you want to integrate into the Guo family and truly become a part of them, you must not only be accepted by Mrs. Guo, but also consider the rest of the family. For example, Princess Chen Liu, and for example, her two sisters-in-law. These days, Princess Chen Liu is powerful on the surface, but in fact her personality is very easy-going, while the Jiang family is gentle and obedient, but the Chen family is lively, kind and easy to get along with. But these three people are all people who are confused on the surface and understand very well on the inside, and it is not easy to fool them. It is not difficult to get their hearts, the key is to be willing to work hard, and to know how to seize an opportunity. Today, Li Weiyang is just taking the opportunity of offering pastries to play a sympathy card. Everyone knows in their hearts, if she hadn't lived a hard life, how could she know about the dim sum that ordinary people use to satisfy their hunger......

Of course, if they asked just now, Li Weiyang vomited bitterness, which would be a bit too much, and it would make people think that she was deliberately complaining about her past life, or she was dissatisfied with the lack of the Guo family for so many years, Li Weiyang was unwilling to do this, so he carefully grasped the scale.

At this time, Li Weiyang may not have realized that she made Yuqian cake with such a heart today, because she had seven points of sincerity for Princess Chen Liu, if not, she could use other methods to please them, without having to work so hard.

Coming out of the house, I hadn't taken a few steps when I heard a muffled laugh not far away, although it was very light, but it was obvious. Zhao Yue was the first to be surprised, Li Weiyang turned his head suddenly, and said coldly: "Who! ”

A man slowly walked out of the corner of the corridor on the side, his face was like a crown of jade, and at a glance he was an exceptionally handsome man. At this moment, his deep eyebrows were full of smiles, he looked at her for a moment, and said, "Do you know me?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at him, then bowed his head and saluted: "Greetings to King Jing!" ”

Jingwang Yuanying was born to Concubine Guo Hui, and he is just nineteen years old this year, one year older than the real Guo Jia, speaking of which, he is still Guo Jia's cousin. Seeing that she recognized him accurately, and bowed his head to salute, he smiled slightly, slowly walked to her side, stared at her white face for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Yuqian cake? What is this? ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "It's just crude food among the people, if His Royal Highness King Jing is interested, I will ask the cook to make one for you." ”

When Yuan Ying heard this, he couldn't help laughing, his face was very handsome, and even three points similar to Yuan Lie, but when he laughed, he actually had shallow dimples, which added three points of childishness to his face. He shook his head and said, "This is something you made for my grandmother, I don't dare to touch it." ”

Yuan Ying's eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, but Li Weiyang's heart is too deep to be seen through. Even so, Li Weiyang would not underestimate this King Jing who could still live a very nourishing life in the fierce struggle in the palace. In the court of Dadu, the adult princes who can grow up safely have a very prominent background behind them, but it does not mean that as long as your mother is from a wealthy family, you will have a bright future. To be able to live a glamorous and comfortable life, the prince himself must have a lot of ability. She smiled and said, "Your Highness is smiling. ”

"Not a joke." Yuan Ying still had a smile on her face and said, "My sister hasn't been here for long since she came to Guo's house, and there is no one up and down who doesn't praise you, it's really painstaking." ”

The meaning of this is unclear, and when he looks at Yuan Ying again, he still has a smile on his face, and he can't tell whether he is praising Li Weiyang or sarcastic her. Li Weiyang just hooked his lips and said: "It is Guo Jia's duty to be filial to his grandmother, and His Royal Highness has praised it." ”

Yuan Ying laughed and said, "Yes, one joke and one false praise, no wonder my grandmother praises you all the time, people are smart and so good at talking, there will be people who like you wherever you go." ”

Li Weiyang just glanced at the direction he walked out, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Jing did not go in after coming down, what are you doing here?" ”

Yuan Ying sighed, and the dimples on his face deepened: "Do you think I want to, I did something wrong." ”

Li Weiyang thought for a while and said, "Did you bring the honey?" ”

Yuan Ying was surprised by Li Weiyang's cleverness, and in an instant, thousands of thoughts had turned in his mind, and after being stunned, he said truthfully: "Yes, but I specially ordered the kitchen to only use a little, and I didn't expect my grandmother to be so sweet......"

The relationship between Yuan Ying and Princess Chen Liu has always been very good, of course he would not deliberately harm his grandmother, but he just saw the old lady looking for sweets, and deliberately found fragrant honey from other places to coax her. Yuan Ying had already walked out of Guo's mansion just now, but suddenly thought of the old lady's sex, and deliberately turned around and wanted to tell the Guo family to watch more, but don't let her eat too much, but she didn't expect to see the scene in the house just now as soon as she walked to the door. Intuitively, he felt that Guo Jia was too clever.

It's not that he wants to be suspicious of Li Weiyang, it's just that this girl knows how to please people too much, and she coaxes all the Guo family members around. Moreover, the banquet in Princess Lin'an's Mansion before has long been known to everyone. Although the Guo family is smart, they are extremely protective, especially Guo Jia has been away from home for many years, and it is of course a thousand favors to be suddenly found back, and the last banquet has been able to explain a problem. The moment Yuan Ying got the news, she wanted to find an opportunity to meet her long-lost cousin and see what kind of person she was and why she had the strength to let the Guo family defend her so much.

Now, he saw that the young woman in front of him was smart, gentle, and wise, with a pair of eyes like ancient wells, quiet and quiet, but there was a maturity beyond this age, this is not an ordinary girl. He smiled and said, "Of course, if I knew that such a lovely cousin was here, I wouldn't have to go to great lengths to make my grandmother happy." ”

Li Weiyang just smiled lightly, but did not open his mouth to give him a response.

Yuan Ying took a step closer, and the smile on his face was even gentler: "Also, why do you call me Your Highness?" Shouldn't you call it a cousin? ”

Li Weiyang's face did not change in the slightest, and she did not even have the shy love of ordinary girls, she just said softly: "If His Highness insists, then it is okay to call my cousin." ”

Yuan Ying suddenly grinned and laughed: "Since that's the case, then call my cousin, so much affection!" It's like a cousin! My mother also said that I want to invite you to the palace to meet you in a few days, so you should prepare in advance! When he said this, his voice suddenly lowered, and he said, "Yesterday, Princess Lin'an went to the palace, and she went to see Queen Pei, and she stayed in her palace for two hours before she came out. ”

Li Weiyang's smile was very faint, almost nothing: "Why does my cousin make fun of me, I don't have a good ear, how can I know the private words between other mothers and daughters." ”

Yuan Ying's eyes seemed to be smiling, but his expression was clear and open-minded: "Princess Lin'an originally loved to hold hatred, and now there is one more son of the Jiang family who wants to take revenge on you, how are you going to sing this play?" Drag the Guo family together? ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, he knew that the other party was here for the safety of the Guo family. Her dark and beautiful pupils greeted the other party, showing an unusually calm appearance: "Then what about Your Highness, are you going to sit and watch the play?" ”

If the Guo family is involved, how can he stand by and watch? Yuan Ying doesn't like those delicate daughters, in his opinion, those women are like beautiful brocade, not cold, not durable, can't help tearing, but there is also a kind of person, as long as you look into her eyes, you will find her inner determination and perseverance. Just like the smiling Guo Jia in front of him, he is by no means an easy person to dismiss!

Yuan Ying sighed in his heart, in his opinion, within the scope of the Guo family, whatever Guo Jia does, but everything has a degree, if her existence hurts the Guo family, then it is another matter! Yuan Ying has deep feelings for everyone in the Guo family, except for Guo Jia, the Guo family can't do anything, he can solve it on his behalf! But now it seems that it may not be as easy as he originally thought. The young woman was too clever and cunning to easily see through his mind, and he could not see anything from her.

"Whether you are Guo Jia or not, why did you come to Guo Mansion, I am not interested." Yuan Ying stared at her face, her expression was like water, and said, "However, I will never allow anyone to bet on the Guo family, do you understand?" There was a hint of coldness in his tone, and he was not joking.

His half-warning words pierced Li Weiyang's heart, and the smile on her face began to become a little cold: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't implicate the Guo family, but what you're doing now, I'm afraid it's not worried about the Guo family, but about yourself." ”

"Myself?" Yuan Ying smiled lightly and said, "It seems that there are some things you don't understand, the Guo family is me, I am the Guo family, do you understand?" His eyes rolled, he smiled naturally, and left this sentence with confidence, and then turned away: "Take good care of my grandmother, I will accept your affection!" ”

The Jing Wang Yuanying in front of him is definitely not the rumored smiling prince who is indisputable with the world, under his smile, he is full of cold thorns, once he feels threatened, he will use this thorn to face the enemy, if he is not guarded, he will be covered with injuries if he is not careful! However, he cares about the Guo family, which is understandable, in his opinion, he is just an outsider who suddenly broke in...... Li Weiyang thought of the words he reminded just now, Princess Lin'an had indeed entered the palace to see Empress Pei, it seemed that Empress Pei was about to take action, but what she was waiting for was this day! Thinking of this, Li Weiyang secretly gritted his teeth, and clenched his hands into fists under the sleeves of his robe.
