Chapter 6: Reflection
To say that Feng Luan is "sick" is not a big deal.
But who made her the daughter of the Fengguo Mansion, the time of her illness was so coincidental, and someone deliberately exaggerated it, so in just a few days, it was so troublesome that all the officials and eunuchs in the capital heard about it.
Since the commotion has started, relatives and friends naturally have to show concern.
Among the royal families with distinguished status, there are Prince Ying's Mansion, Prince Xiang's Mansion, and Princess Liyi's Mansion, and those of the lower generation, Prince Duan's Mansion,โโ of course, is not Xiao Duo, but Fengluan's eldest cousin, Princess Duan. Then there are the Xungui circles, the Fan family of the Fuguo Mansion, the Mu family of the Liguo Mansion, the Feng family of Guoyi Hou, the Gong family of Pingnan Hou and so on.
There are also concubines in the palace who sent a few boxes of pills, and Zhen's mother's family sent ginseng.
Feng Luan looked at the large number of things he received, which were basically medicinal herbs and pills, as if he was really seriously ill, and couldn't help but laugh, "It's not sick, you have to curse them out of illness." โ
"Phew!" Jiang's mother hurriedly took a sip, "Miss, don't say such nonsense." โ
sighed in his heart, the eldest lord had to say that the young lady was sick, and let people send it back, but I saw that the young lady was in good spirits, and the person was refreshed, and she was not sick at all, I really don't know how Lu Dao offended the eldest master.
"This bottle is so chic." Tortoiseshell picks up a small jade bottle.
"Who sent it?" Jiang's mother said while looking at the list, "It turned out to be Duanwangfu." He opened the jade bottle and sniffed it, "Hmm, it seems to be a top-grade Eight Treasure Yangrong Pill." โ
"I'll see." Feng Luan's face was calm and waveless, and he stretched out his hand, "The color is indeed good." As she said this, her hand "accidentally" slipped, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and the bottle suddenly fell to pieces! The slick little pill rolled all over the floor, filling the room.
The medicine sent by Princess Duan's mother, I can't eat it myself!
I always remember that when she was about to die, Princess Duan's relieved eyes,โโ thinking that even if she didn't do it herself and didn't help the trouble, she would definitely be happy to see it.
"Ouch." Mother Jiang over there was startled, "Don't move, don't move." Hurriedly instructed someone, "Hurry up and clean up, clean carefully twice, don't let the young lady prickle her feet." โ
"Yes." The tortoiseshell's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly took the little girls to clean up.
Mother Jiang was looking at something else, and she didn't pay attention, but she accidentally saw Miss ,โโ who deliberately missed and broke the medicine bottle! Where does this start? Didn't I hear that Miss and Princess Duan had a holiday? Could it be that the doctor who was disturbed during this time was annoyed, and there was an evil fire in his heart? Looks like I've been going to have to be careful lately.
Hey, to say that Miss is also ruthless.
Originally, I saw that she treated Baozhu so well, but Baozhu said a wrong word, and was rewarded by Mrs. without saying anything, and was thrown to the firewood room and locked up. In the past few days, Madame has been busy with Miss's illness, and she has not had time to attack, and when she comes back to her senses, if Miss does not intercede with Baozhu again, I am afraid that she will have to sell it.
The tortoiseshell can't help but feel a little cold in the lips and teeth, and when the heart is cold, it becomes more and more cautious in doing things.
She lowered her head to help the little girls clean up, looking at the fragments of the crystal jade bottle and the pills in one place, she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart, Princess Duan's favor was given away in vain.
******
Princess Duan put down the sweet white porcelain teacup in her hand, raised her head and asked, "Is the cousin of the Feng family seriously ill?" โ
The mother who came back from the Feng family said, "I didn't see Miss Feng Er." Afraid that the master would blame the unfavorable situation, he said: "But the slave maid looks, the girls and mothers in front of Miss Feng Er have good faces, and they should be fine." โ
If the master is really seriously ill, how can the people not cry and mourn?
"That's good." Princess Duan bowed slightly, waved her hand, and said, "Go." โ
When she was in the Mu family, the cousin of the Feng family was still a little girl, and when she was older, she had already married into Duanwangfu, so she couldn't talk about sisterhood. It's her sister Rou Jia, who is the same age as her, has a similar temperament, and it is said that the two of them are inseparable from Meng, Meng is not defocused, and they are as good as sisters.
At the princess's birthday banquet the previous time, Feng Luan didn't come, and Roujia heard that she was sick, so she was in a hurry to visit. There was a funeral on the side of the Fan family, and everyone in the family had to run to the Fan family, and the mother was not worried that she would go out alone, so she said that she would wait for a few days to pass before she was persuaded to stop.
Princess Duan couldn't help but smile slightly.
When I didn't leave the cabinet, I also had a few good handkerchiefs to give sisters, but later they got married and had children, how could they still remember the sisterhood of the year? is to interact with each other, but it is just for their husbands' families and entertainment on the scene.
"Feeling good today?" Xiao Duo walked in from outside and asked with a smile.
"The prince is back." Princess Duan slowly got up to greet her, turned to the nurse Mu's mother and asked, "Why didn't you greet me?" As soon as I was distracted, I didn't know that the prince of Lu Dao was coming. โ
Mother Mu pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't say anything.
"I won't let you scream." Xiao Duo pushed someone out of the way and helped her sit down, "You are now a person with a double body, you are very noble, you don't have to be bound by those etiquettes anymore." "I am twenty-four this year, but I still have no son, if the princess can give birth to a son-in-law, it will solve a piece of my heart disease.
Princess Duan had an unconcealable smile in her eyebrows, "Thank you for your compassion and care." โ
Xiao Duo felt that the conversation between the husband and wife was a little businesslike, so he found the conversation and asked, "When I entered the door just now, I saw that you were secretly laughing, but what was the joy?" โ
Princess Duan, can you talk about those people who are sophisticated? Having said that, doesn't it seem that he is cold and sophisticated? So he chose innocuous words and said with a smile: "I asked people to go to the Fengguo Mansion, and I heard that my cousin's illness has improved a lot, so I am relieved, so I am just happy." โ
Rejoice in the recovery of my cousin who didn't have a few faces? Xiao Duo knew in his heart that his princess was not telling the truth, but it was inconvenient to debunk it in person, "Oh, that's good." โ
I think of the rumors that have been out there recently.
That Fengluan was so sick that even she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, whether she deliberately took the opportunity to pretend to be sick in order to avoid the competition for Princess Cheng. However, according to the previous situation, the ...... of the Feng family should be quite willing to get married, otherwise, the second child of the Feng family would not have called his cousin out.
So the current situation, is there a difference of opinion within the Feng family? Or is Feng Luan really sick?
It's just that it's useless to think too much.
I hope she really doesn't want to, save Xiao Zhan's kid for nothing!
I suddenly felt a little sorry in my heart, such a stunning beauty, but it was the concubine of the Fengguo Mansion, if it was the daughter of an ordinary small family, she could be admitted to the palace as a concubine.
In his spare time, it is also a pastime.
Since he has been born in the Fengguo Mansion, he doesn't care what he looks like, but he was born with bright eyes and bright teeth and green silk like clouds, but it was a waste.
"Lord Wang?" Princess Duan couldn't help but worry when she saw her husband suddenly become distracted, "But what's going on outside?" "Recently, because of the selection of the princess, there has been a lot of noise, and the Fan family of the Fuguo Mansion has died, and it is another chaos, and there are undercurrents surging everywhere in the capital, and it is not peaceful.
"It's fine." Xiao Duo retracted his thoughts that had drifted away by chance, and stood up, "You rest, I'll go to the study." โ
******
For Xiao Duo, Feng Luan is just a good thing that he wants to ask for but can't ask for, and it's a pity that he has a few moments when he is free. But for Xiao Zhan at this moment, Feng Luan is a very important person, and she thinks a lot about her illness.
...... my heart, I have already passed thousands of speculations.
Although I am worried that it is as rumored outside, it is the Feng family who is unwilling, and the daughter of the Feng family does not want to be a princess, especially with the pressure from the Queen Mother and Concubine De. But ......, if he wants to give up so easily, and he is unwilling, he has to at least work hard.
Therefore, after thinking about it in the palace for several days, he made up his mind.
In the afternoon of the same day, Grandma Fan of the Fuguo Mansion received a gift, and she was still alive. The noble person who gave the gift is not small, and the identity of the other party is a little delicate, especially at this time, which makes the intention of this gift more and more confusing, so that people have to think about it secretly.
Feng Rongniang, the eldest grandmother of the Fan family, did not dare to slack off, and took a gift and went back to Fengfu in person.
"Princess Yuzhen gave it to you?" The eldest lady was surprised.
"yes." Feng Rongniang's expression was solemn, gently stroking the snow-white and lovely Persian cat, the little guy had one eye blue and one eye green, like two washed precious gems, indescribably lovely. But although the thing is good, it is hot, "Mother, you say, could it be the meaning of His Royal Highness Chengwang?" โ
Princess Yuzhen and King Cheng Xiao Zhan are compatriots.
The eldest lady frowned and said, "Naturally." "With such obvious intentions, is there any other possibility that it can't be achieved? The daughter asked this because she didn't want to get into trouble.
"So what should I do?" Feng Rongniang sneered, "His Royal Highness King Cheng turned such a big turn, just to give the second sister a cat?" Do you want her to raise, watch, and miss him every day? Or do you want to tell her that you want to marry her as a princess? And ......, so do I transfer it, or do I not transfer it? She said in a disgruntled tone, "It's funny, I'm running errands for others." โ
The eldest lady is more irritable than her daughter, the Zhen family is not easy to deal with, if there is another princess daughter, then don't you have eyes on the top of your head? Fortunately, in the matter of the competition for Princess Cheng, her husband and herself stood on the same side, so she said confidently: "Don't give it, your father is not happy that our family has anything to do with King Cheng." โ
Is it because you don't want to participate in the succession? Feng Rongniang didn't think about it for a while, and asked, "What reason?" โ
"Where do I know the way?" The eldest lady doesn't need her husband to explain to herself, she just needs to understand the instructions, "Anyway, your father always has his reasons, and he can't be wrong." โโโ
That's right.
Feng Rongniang nodded, and did not question her father's decision in the slightest.
The eldest lady quickly made a decision, "Since the cat has been brought out, presumably the people of the Fan family have already known the Tao, so it is better to keep it with me." I didn't pay much attention to my niece's affairs, and then asked my daughter, "Now that the eldest man of the Fan family is gone, what do the old lady and the old lady say?" โ
Feng Rongniang knew what her mother was asking, and sighed: "It's not decided yet." Her tone was a little complaining, "It's just past the first seven now, who dares to rush to mention the title?" Besides, even if the old lady and the old lady are willing, they have to wait for the aunt of the long house to let go, otherwise we will mention it first, and it will seem like bullying other people's widows. โ
The eldest lady absentmindedly peeled the tangerine, the cyan skin, and every time it was torn, there was a pungent smell of orange peel, which made her frown slightly, "Mrs. Fan is not afraid, the key is to ......" handed the orange to her daughter and pointed in the direction of the East Palace, "I'm afraid that the crown princess will support her mother." โ
Feng Rongniang's face was slightly gloomy, and she said coldly: "Could it be true that you want to succeed a yellow-mouthed child, call the house up and down, bend down and bow your head to call the prince?" Will you call Grandpa Guo again in the future? She was so angry that the oranges in her hands were juiced, and she didn't notice it, "The crown princess doesn't want to think about it, now ......, there are still decades before that step, and you can't rely on these people to take care of the prince?" You can't ask people to contribute and be thankless. โ
In his tone, there was a faint resentment.
The eldest lady also nodded and sighed, and handed the handkerchief to her daughter, "Wipe it." He was worried again: "Your words are right, I'm afraid that the crown princess will be confused for a while and won't think clearly." โ
Feng Rongniang couldn't help but get irritable.
The eldest lady advised her, "Don't worry, your father won't care." After discussing the matter of the Fan family's title, he talked carefully for a while before he talked about Feng Luan, "You go to the second girl's side to order something, and then go back to the house." โ
Feng Rongniang nodded, when she was busy with the funeral at home, she ran back to her parents' house, originally to come back to visit her cousin, of course she had to go over to condole. She got up and wiped her hands, "Then I'll go." He asked, "Mother, tell me the truth, is the second sister really sick?" โ
The eldest lady sneered, "It was your son who made her 'sick', and you will know the Tao after you have seen it." Because it was impossible for Feng Yuan to talk about the important affairs of the court, it was impossible for Feng Yuan to talk about it in detail with his wife, so she automatically understood.
Feng Rongniang smiled and nodded, "Okay, I have a number in my heart." โ
******
Feng Rongniang is six years older than Feng Luan, although she often sees her cousin when she is at home, but she doesn't play together, and after she gets married, she just meets a few times at the occasional birthday banquet. In my impression, my cousin is still the beautiful little girl who has grown up since she was a child, but she is willful and squeamish, and her mother is tired of the second room, so she doesn't like her very much.
Entering the house, the girl put down the visitation ceremony, and asked with a smile: "Ah Luan, have you been better these days?" โ
"Much better." Someone from Fengluan's side had already sent a message, saying that the eldest aunt and grandmother had returned home, and the cousin of Zhilu Dao came back after talking to the eldest aunt, so she changed into a clean dress, "The eldest sister must be busy and tired in the Fan family, and she came to see me, but she is tired of the eldest sister." โ
Feng Rongniang smiled: "My own sister, what do you say are not tired?" โ
When the two of them talk about the polite words on the scene, you come and go with me for a few words, and there is no topic at the bottom.
Feng Rongniang calculated that she hadn't sat long enough, and wanted to find something to say, but her heart moved, but she remembered the rumors outside. So he drove the girls down and asked privately: "Ah Luan, you tell the truth, don't you really want to be a princess?" โ
Feng Luan looked at her cousin, not sure if she just asked casually, or if there was any deep meaning, so she was only shy about her youngest daughter, "What princess is not a princess, I don't understand." "I also heard a few ears of those bastards outside, those people are really hateful." โ
Feng Rongniang looked ignorant, so she lost the interest in talking, and then nodded: "Yes, they are all a group of confused people who don't know what to do, and they say some foolish things." โ
"Damn, so damn." Feng Luan turned over and over, just a few words.
"yes." Feng Rongniang complained a few words along with her cousin, but she really had nothing to say, so she wanted to say a few jokes, so she smiled and said: "Good girl, you are also old now, don't be an intentional person, right?" โ
"Big sister!" Feng Luan gently pounded the table, "Is this what a sister should say?" Besides, I'm annoyed. โ
"Alright, alright." Feng Rongniang smiled and patted her cousin's hand, "But just kidding you, don't take it seriously." She felt that the conversation was boring, and she didn't bother to coax her cousin anymore, so she took advantage of the situation to stand up, "It's so busy in the house these days, it's inconvenient for me to come out for too long, so I'll go back first." โ
Feng Luan only looked embarrassed and shouted: "Biluo, send the eldest sister out of the city." โ
When the people left, their faces suddenly relaxed.
Lover? In his previous life, until the Feng family was copied, he was only fourteen or five years old, and the family environment was simple, and the love between men and women was completely blank. Later, I entered the palace and worked as a palace maid for eight years, and the "men" I saw were all eunuchs without roots, and it was impossible to think about this, and then ...... later, I had to be Xiao Duo's concubine-
I never knew what it meant to be a person.
"Tortoiseshell." Feng Luan shouted and ordered: "You ask people to go to the long room to inquire, and see if you can find out what the eldest sister and aunt of Lu Dao said?" Or, is there anything special to piggyback. โ
I don't believe that I have a relationship with my cousin, and when she is busy with the Fan family's title, she will be in a hurry to visit her.
"This ......" The tortoiseshell looked embarrassed and hesitated: "When the eldest aunt and grandmother returned home, they must have left someone behind and talked to the eldest lady alone, so it's not easy to inquire, right?" โ
Feng Luan frowned, ignored her, and called Qian Xiang to come in and order, "...... You go to someone and ask. โ
Akane said "hey" and went quickly.
The tortoiseshell's face was ugly, "Miss, I'm not lazy and don't want to go......"
"Let's see what the kitchenette cooks at night." Feng Luan didn't have time to appease her, so she sent her away.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, the ruler is long, the inch is short, if you want to talk about flexible interpersonal relationships, things will come, the girl in the house is the first in the number of jewels, and even the Qian Xiang she โกโก is also smart.
In her previous life, Baozhu's practice was very hateful, but she was clever and easy to use herself, so there was no need to rush to kill her with a stick, and keep it for now, and then make plans to see the situation in the future.
Feng Luan rubbed her brows, it seemed that ......, she had to find a time to plead with her mother.
