Chapter 208

Wang Xu pinched a piece of cucumber vine, crooked, green as jade, went back to the house to find a book to open it, and then sandwiched it in, ready to take it away for a thought. The speed update is waiting for you () Baidu search can be done! sighed lightly in her heart, she was prick a silver needle in a critical situation at that time, she never thought that there would be a good ending, she could fight for her life and let herself go away, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

Xiao Hulu was still immersed in the joy of going to run an errand, and said excitedly: "Master, I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to go to other provinces to run errands, and I also followed the master to dip the light, and I can go out to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, which is really much better than being an errand in the palace." ”

Wang Xu, who had been lowering his eyes, suddenly brightened, "In the palace?!" ”

His mind raced.

"yes." Xiao Hulu was still saying: "When I used to be on an errand in the palace, I was trembling all day long, for fear of saying the wrong word and taking the wrong step, and the palace still had to be looser." Besides, the princess treats the master politely, and I have a good life with ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xu had already stood up suddenly.

Xiao Hulu hurriedly picked up the baggage, "Master wait for me, so urgent, do you want to leave now?" ”

"You stay." Wang Xu's thinking thought about it in his heart, he was unwilling to leave her until the last step, even if he couldn't meet in the future, it would be good to help her a little. Hardly embarrassed, he quickly made a decision, "I'm going to go to the palace." ”

The little gourd hadn't reacted yet, and nodded, "Okay." ”

Wang Xu took a bath and changed his clothes, and then entered the palace with his waist card, and then waited for a short time, then he saw the emperor and stepped forward to salute, "The slave has asked the emperor to say goodbye." ”

"The sixth is back?" The Emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor." Wang Xu was as calm and calm as he used to be on an errand in front of the palace, with a smile on his face, "There is a lot of snow on the road, and the carriage of the prince and the princess can't go fast, so let the servants go back to the palace first to report safety." ”

The emperor bowed his head, "This year's snow is a bit heavy. He asked again: "I heard that the sixth child is sick, so I delayed it for a while." ”

"The slave is about to return this matter to the emperor." Wang Xu looked around.

Cai Liang, the chief eunuch, immediately waved his hand and let the little eunuch retreat.

Wang Xu smiled at him.

Cai Liang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and also retreated.

When you are a slave, you must first remember what you should listen to and what you should not listen to, and the more you listen, the faster you die, Wang Xu has always been a calm person, and he let himself avoid nature with his deep meaning. I can't say, if there is another story in Prince Duan's illness, tsk, it's better to hide away from it.

The emperor was in a bad mood when he saw this, and when the people left, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Xu told the matter of Ilmo, but vaguely omitted Xiao Duo's snake venom for Fengluan,—— the prince risked his life for the princess, and when the emperor heard it, most of them would think that his son was too feminine and not rational enough. Even Xiao Duo didn't know how to say it, and when he heard her say that he planned to return for the bite of the two of them with a poisonous snake, he took advantage of the situation.

"There is such a thing?!" The emperor slammed the table and said angrily, "Bastard! Those barbarians of Huo Lian actually dared to covet the princess of the Central Plains, and they dared to release poisonous snakes! I don't think they want peace talks. ”

"The emperor is angry." Wang Xu persuaded a few words, "Then Ilmo was injured in a fall on horseback, and Princess Huo Lian was also deposed, as for the details, His Royal Highness Prince Duan must have other arrangements." ”

The emperor remembered the stubborn and forbearant nature of the sixth prince, but smiled, "That's right, the sixth won't give up easily." ”

Wang Xu smiled with him, and then suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the slave has another request." ”

"Request?"

"The minion wants to return to the royal front on an errand."

"Why?" The emperor's smile was faint, the most important thing for a slave was to be obedient, and he didn't like it if he was too thoughtful, "Are you uncomfortable staying in Prince Duan's mansion?" Do you have to go to the palace? ”

"It's for a reason." Wang Xu lowered his eyes, "At that time, because the prince and the princess were poisoned, the accompanying imperial doctor only brought one, the situation was urgent, and the prince and the princess needed to pull out the poison at the same time, so there was not enough manpower." Besides, although the imperial doctor is not very old, he is also a man, so it is not appropriate to pull out poison for the princess. "Try your best to emphasize that you are not a man," Therefore, the princess's poison was pulled out by a slave. ”

When the emperor heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong, "So what? ”

"This ......" Wang Xu looked calm, but in fact, a thin layer of sweat had already grown in his palms, "The prince and the princess have a deep affection and deep feelings, especially the princess treats the princess like a treasure, so ......, the slave still has some inappropriate practices for the princess to pull out poison." ”

He kowtowed heavily, "There are fewer servants around the princess, and there are better and more appropriate servants to serve, but if the relationship between the prince and the princess is affected because the slaves stay, it is the sin of the slaves." Gritting his teeth gently, "Please have mercy on the minions' embarrassment, and let the minions return to the imperial office." ”

The emperor was stunned at first, and then laughed, "You mean, the sixth is jealous of you as a eunuch?" I couldn't help but feel happier the more I thought about it, "Is this also worth being jealous of?" The eunuchs in the palace, as well as the concubines who dress every day, usually help them walk, comb their hair, and so on, if I am jealous of this, won't I drown in the sea of vinegar? Since the matter is expedient, you are not a man, and the sixth child is too cautious. ”

Wang Xu hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the slave didn't mean to slander Prince Duan. The slave ......, the slave is timid, afraid of things, and wants to return to the emperor as an errand. ”

The emperor smiled: "Can the sixth still kill you for this?" You're a man of the Imperial Palace. ”

Wang Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, although it is inconvenient for Xiao Duo to kill himself openly, but isn't it easy to have an accident with a minion? If you are sick, you fall and you are injured, or if someone accidentally injures yourself, as you did that day, you can also give yourself a good reputation for being loyal to your master.

But these can't be said, and I begged again, "Let the prince and the princess have a disagreement because of the slaves, then they are not helping the princess, but harming her, so please ask the emperor to let the slaves meet again on an errand before the emperor." ”

The emperor didn't know how many ups and downs Lu Dao had experienced, and when he saw him scared like this, his mind moved, and he had suspicions, and asked, "You came back early this time just to report safety?" ”

Wang Xufu replied in a low voice: "The prince asked the servants to go to the south to purchase New Year's goods. ”

When the emperor heard this, he didn't smile, but frowned slightly, it seems that the sixth child is indeed suspicious of Wang Xu, the so-called procurement of New Year's goods is an excuse, but he just wants to send it away.

Wang Xu said again: "In the past, when the emperor sent servants to serve the princess, she was still a side concubine, and there were many storms around her, so let the servants take care of her. Now, the princess is already the main mother of Prince Duan's mansion, and the prince loves her again, so she really doesn't need to be a slave. ”

"Alright." The Emperor listened a little impatiently, "Look at your unproductive and frightened appearance!" "Wang Xu's words do make sense, he was sent in the past to prevent the abolition of the princess Mu from embarrassment for the Feng family, but now the Feng family is already the princess, and Xiao Duo dislikes Wang Xu, and it is useless to stay.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Get down." The emperor waved his hand and said, "Ming'er will come over in the morning on an errand." ”

Wang Xu's heart finally fell to the ground, this sentence was probably the most beautiful words he had ever heard from the emperor's mouth. immediately kowtowed a few heads, knowing the emperor's temper, he didn't dare to delay things anymore, and quietly retreated.

******

A few days later, Feng Luan and Xiao Duo returned to the capital smoothly.

The first thing is to go to Feng's house and pick up the children, I haven't seen them for a few months, and as soon as the two children meet, they pounce on them affectionately. Brother Hao was fine, but he just said with his mouth full, "Father, mother, I miss you so much." The sister pouted, "You go out to play, and you don't take me and my brother with you." ”

The child doesn't feel that he is growing up fast every day, and after a few months of separation, Feng Luan feels that his children have grown taller and become more sensible, so he can't help laughing and saying, "You two, are you naughty to give your grandmother a headache?" ”

"No, no." Brother Hao'er's eyes were dark, and he said crisply: "Mother, I also learned boxing and foot kung fu from my third uncle." He patted his chest and said childishly: "The third uncle said that when I learn well, I can protect my mother in the future." ”

Feng Luan's nose was sour, "Okay." ”

"And protect me." Sister Wu added, and the girls next to her laughed.

"Alright." Zhen pulled a child with one hand, "You two go to the side to play first, let them rest, they are tired and panicked when they just come back." While beckoning his daughter and son-in-law to enter the door, "I heard that you will arrive today, I guessed that you would come over to pick up the children first, and the meal has already been prepared." ”

Feng Luan took her mother's arm and went in.

The mother and daughter have been separated for a long time, so they naturally have something to say and enter the back room together.

Xiao Duo sat outside with a slight smile, without showing any expression, and forcibly endured the irritability of his unclear vision, but just pulled his children by his side, "Father brought you gifts." "Let people bring small things in, and what was given to Brother Hao was a small scimitar, for fear of hurting him, let people seal the scabbard. A set of Huo Lian's jewelry for her sister-in-law, she was too young to wear it, but it jingled and quickly attracted her interest.

"It's good-looking, I like it, father."

"I like it too."

The innocent smiles of the two children are sweet and clean, which makes people feel calm.

Xiao Duo's irritable heart finally had a hint of stability and tranquility.

Inside, Zhen was asking her daughter, "How is it?" After you and the prince went out this time, has the relationship between the two been better? She still remembered the last time Xiao Duo deceived her daughter, "He lied to you and scared you, did he apologize to you afterwards." ”

Feng Luan thought of a series of things going to Huo Lian, sighed softly, and didn't know where to start with a thousand words, Xiao Duo's suspicions and temptations, his own dissatisfaction and struggle, these are just things between two people. Thousands of shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't involve Wang Xu.

Let's just let him live quietly in Jiangnan.

"What's wrong?" Zhen didn't understand, "The prince is doing everything possible to take you to Huo Lian, isn't it just to apologize to you?" Could it be that he has one set in front of him and one on his back, and he will still make you angry after he goes out? ”

"Nope." Feng Luan shook his head, and didn't say anything about what Wang Xu was sandwiched in, but said: "In addition to a little accident in Huolian, I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was the prince himself who took the poison, and he also fainted and fell seriously ill." ”

For two lifetimes, he is destined to be entangled with this man.

"The prince sucked snake venom for you?!" Zhen was shocked, "He ......, is this crazy?" He doesn't need so many slave girls, he has to ...... it himself" After a while, it was Xiao Duo who went into battle in person, which showed that he loved his daughter in his heart, and he didn't even care about his life for her.

That being the case, there's nothing to ask.

"It's good that you two reconcile." Zhen smiled and sighed, "That's it, I'm also annoyed that Xiao Duo tempted you like that, but this person will inevitably make mistakes in his life, there are a few ups and downs, and the past is over, and it's boring to always hold on to it." Instead, he persuaded his daughter, "If you forgive the prince, then you must be free and generous, and you can't mention it again as soon as you quarrel in the future, otherwise it will really hurt each other's harmony." ”

Mention? Feng Luan thought, probably he would never mention it in his life.

If you don't mention it, Wang Xu can still retire peacefully in Jiangnan, and when you mention it, Xiao Duo will think of Wang Xu again, there will definitely be nothing good, why bother? Everyone is well.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Zhen asked.

"It's not ......" Feng Luan didn't want to say any more, but threw herself into her mother's arms with affection, felt the unique fragrance and gentleness on her body, and closed her eyes quietly, "I'm just tired." She smiled, "I want to be a coquettish child in front of my mother." ”

Zhen thought that she was sad for the relationship between men and women, and thought that even if her daughter reconciled with Xiao Duo, it would definitely not be smooth sailing, with twists and turns, but she was afraid that she herself would not want to say it. So he just hugged her and patted her gently, "It's okay, when you're upset, just come to my mother and talk." ”

When she's had enough, let her lie down in bed and get a good night's sleep.

Then he went outside and beckoned Xiao Duo and the children to eat. After eating, I still came back to accompany my daughter inside, and when she woke up, I made a bowl of chicken soup noodles, hot, white and fragrant, and sprinkled with green onions. Because of casual talk, when it comes to the last rouge radish, "I let people marinate it in sour water, add sugar, it is sour, sweet and crunchy, very refreshing." ”

Feng Luan ate the chicken soup noodles in his mouth, and it was a little tasteless.

Carmine? I think of the simple happiness of planting radishes together at that time, and then think of the few cucumbers and pods that were lost, it's really ......, it's a pity.

However, when he returned to the palace, Gao Jinzhong came in to deliver the news, "Wang Xu went back to the palace on an errand." ”

Feng Luan looked surprised and surprised.

Xiao Duo sneered, "Okay, very good!" He said gloomily: "This king let him go, he actually dared to do one set in front of him and one on the back, and learned to play with a spear!" ”

Feng Luan was silent.

Wang Xu actually went back to the royal front on an errand? It's a really powerful idea.

If Xiao Duo can't ascend the throne and is just Prince Duan for the rest of his life, it is likely that he really can't do anything about the king, but once Xiao Duo becomes the emperor,—— he remembers that he was played by a eunuch like this before, and he is afraid that the first one will kill him, and he will not be able to persuade him at that time.

Hey, the king scolded him for ......, why is he so stubborn.

Because of this, Feng Luan never mentioned the vegetables grown in the flower room again. And made up his mind that from now on, don't mention anything about Wang Xu in front of Xiao Duo, for the sake of Wang Xu, just treat him as if you never knew him.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, and there is a white and crystal silver world outside the window.

Xiao Duo lifted the thick cotton curtain, rubbed his hands when he entered the door, and then took a cup of hot tea first, "This year's snow is even bigger than last year's, Ruixue is a good year." He sat down next to him and looked at the plum blossoms on the windowsill, "This red plum is a good sight, and the heavier the snow, the better the plum blossoms." ”

"Yes." Feng Luan smiled and said: "The prince likes it, I will let people fold a bottle and put it in Wuzhu seclusion." ”

has experienced so many grievances and grievances, twists and turns, although the misunderstandings have been resolved, but it is impossible for the two to be as close as before. But the good thing is that each other has a heart to create a harmonious atmosphere. So compared to the previous respect like ice, it is still much better, they are all polite, at least they can reach the level of raising their eyebrows.

"It's cold." Xiao Duo said: "You usually read more books and accompany the children, don't do needlework." ”

"Hmm." Feng Luan refilled his tea, "Warm your stomach." ”

Xiao Duo picked up the tea and put it in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to drink it, but turned his head to look at the fluttering snow outside, he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, and his expression was very floating.

Feng Luan felt that he always liked to be distracted and in a daze recently, and he ...... seemed to be half a beat slower than he did before, not like his previous vigorous and resolute temperament. However, if you look closely, you don't notice any other differences, maybe it's because the atmosphere between them is not good, so he has become silent? However, it doesn't seem right.

"Is the injury on your leg better?" Xiao Duo turned around and asked.

"Much better." Feng Luan replied: "There is already a scar on the leg, the imperial doctor looked at it, and said that it would be almost the same as waiting for the scar to fall off, and then instructed some diet to avoid taboos, and it would be good to recuperate for a while." Because he cared about himself, he couldn't help but ask him, "After the prince fainted that time, there were no other symptoms?" ”

She just asked casually, in her opinion, Xiao Duo's body should have been healthy a long time ago.

However, Xiao Duo hesitated for a moment, "Well, it's okay. It seemed that he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he said: "In the past few months, we have not been in the capital, and the call for supporting Prince Cheng as the prince is still very high. ”

Feng Luan's mind was really diverted, "Didn't the emperor refuse?" ”

"It's hard to refute people's hearts." Xiao Duo hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, he just went down to the court, and he was still wearing the court clothes of the four-clawed dragon, the hideous dragon body and dragon claws, which made him smile deeply, "As long as the emperor reigns for one day and the prince is uncertain for a day, there will be no peace outside." ”

I have to add fuel to the fire a little more, so that the higher he climbs, the worse he falls.

******

After the ceremony, Feng Luan went to Jinghe Palace to talk to her mother-in-law.

"Why don't you see Concubine Mu?" Jiang Gongfei asked.

Feng Luan replied: "It just so happened that she wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come." ”

Jiang Gongfei has the habit of picking on her daughter-in-law, and she was immediately displeased when she heard the words, "I don't know how to take care of my body during the New Year, besides, it makes people feel bad luck when I hear it." "Muttering again," I thought that she had entered the palace and told her about Sister Xian'er's marriage. ”

Feng Luan understood in her heart that her mother-in-law was used to associating Sister Xian's marriage with the people of the Mu family, and to put it bluntly, she still didn't regard herself as a serious daughter-in-law.

So he smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter if Xiao Mu comes or not, although she is responsible for taking care of Sister Xian and them, but I have to decide the marriage, and Sister Xian is going to marry the Wei family." Looking at Princess Shengping, "What's the trivial, I'll discuss it with Shengping." ”

Jiang Gongfei was stunned when she heard this, and she was a little angry, "That's right." ”

In fact, she didn't really care about Sister Xian'er, but she was just putting on her mother-in-law's money and her grandmother's shelf, but she didn't expect a mouth to say the wrong thing, and she didn't feel embarrassed. So he coughed and looked at his daughter, "I heard that the Wei family is preparing for a dowry?" What is the budget? ”

Princess Shengping knew that her mother was idle, and when she asked about playing, she replied perfunctorily: "I don't know, it's a matter of the long house, I heard that it's about 12,000 standards." ”

"Not a lot." Jiang Gongfei said: "When you, the princess, got married, it was just doubled. Then he told Feng Luan, "How much dowry the Wei family gives, how much dowry you will return compared to the example, it is indispensable, but you can't take it seriously." ”

Feng Luan couldn't help but laugh when she heard that she seemed to care about herself, but in fact she felt sorry for her son, and it was inconvenient to bring it out on her face, so she only looked obedient, "Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down." ”

Princess Shengping asked, "Have you chosen the auspicious day?" ”

Feng Luan said: "I was discussing it before, because I went to Huolian with the prince for a while, and it was delayed. But I have to wait for Sister Xian'er to complete the three-year filial piety period, and after she is out of service, count the days, and after next spring. ”
