Chapter 33: Anbei's Strategy (1)
Outside the tent, the sky suddenly darkened, the sky was gone, and after a moment of gloom, it suddenly began to rain rapidly, and all the noise in the camp was hidden in the rain.
Qin An, who was beside Huo Jingcheng, had been drenched in soup because he had run an errand, so he hurriedly ran to a spacious tent, and after the confession, he opened the curtain and walked in.
In the tent, Huo Jingcheng was leisurely lying on the bed and reading books. Qin An looked at him and immediately persuaded him: "Your Highness, it's raining so hard outside, the cool air will rise in a while, your clothes are thin, don't catch a cold." ”
Qin An took the cloak as he spoke, and wanted to put it on for Huo Jingcheng. Huo Jingcheng put down the book, waved his hand lazily, blocked the cloak in his hand, and said, "Qin An, why did it take so long for you to send a medicine?" Could it be that Mrs. Joe is seriously injured? ”
"No, no." Qin An said: "Your Highness, Mrs. Qiao is not seriously injured, but the villain went unfortunately, and waited outside their tent for a while." ”
"What's going on?" Huo Jingcheng asked.
Qin An listened to his careful questioning, and ambiguity and mystery flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, the love between husband and wife is deep, like glue." The villain just didn't go by chance, but Fuquan, who was guarding outside the tent, stopped the villain, saying that it was inconvenient at this time, and the villain understood. The villain wanted to give the medicine to Fuquan, but he remembered your instructions that the slave must deliver the medicine himself, so the slave was drenched in the rain outside the tent for a while. ”
When Huo Jingcheng heard this, he immediately understood, and his mood suddenly drifted a little.
"Your Highness?" Qin An called him, Huo Jingcheng came back to his senses and asked, "Then you finally sent the medicine in by yourself?" ”
"Yes, the villain doesn't dare to disobey His Highness's will."
"And she...... It's Mrs. Qiao, did you say anything and ask about something? Huo Jingcheng asked again.
Qin An thought for a while and said, "I didn't say anything, I just thanked me and said a few polite words." ”
"You really didn't ask anything?" Huo Jingcheng was puzzled, didn't she find out if she lost the sachet herself?
Qin An said firmly: "Your Highness, Gongzi Qiao and Mrs. Qiao really didn't mention anything else. ”
"Okay, go back to your floor and don't disturb the main hall to read." Huo Jingcheng had already determined that she had not found the missing sachet yet.
Qin An was quiet after returning to his bunk.
Outside the tent, the rain was murmuring and flowing, but inside the tent was quieter than usual. Huo Jingcheng stared at the book in his hand, but he didn't turn a page for a long time. He was tired of staring, so he put down the book and sat up, and suddenly said something that Qin An didn't expect.
"Qin An, go find a woman for the main hall!"
When Qin An heard this, he sat up from the ground bunk and said dumbfounded: "Your Highness, this ...... You...... Where do you want the villain to go to find you a woman? ”
After Huo Jingcheng heard this, he looked at the rain curtain outside the tent window, his mood was still uneasy, but there was nothing he could do. had to lie down again: "Forget it, when the main hall didn't say it." ”
Qin An was relieved, and slowly lay down, muttering: "Your Highness, I knew that you would bring Concubine Ling Niangniang when you went out on the expedition, and Niangniang shouted to come, but you just didn't agree." ”
Huo Jingcheng listened with disdain, and said lightly: "She is clingy and troublesome, and the palace is tired and panicked." Besides, she and the crown princess have always been on good terms, and secretly I don't know how much they have compared, if the palace brings her, it is not to make the princess sad. ”
Qin An said: "Yes, Your Highness, you are thoughtful and take care of everything." ”
Huo Jingcheng pondered for a while, then suddenly became interested and asked, "Qin An, in your opinion, is it the beauty of our women in Nanqian, or the beauty of women in this North Vietnam?" ”
Qin An thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, what do you want the villain to say?" The villain followed you to North Vietnam, and I haven't seen a few women. ”
Huo Jingcheng smiled on his lips: "Let's compare Mrs. Xiahou, Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Qiao." ”
Qin An thought about it again and said honestly: "If you compare a few of them, they are still on par with our beauties in Nanqian." Especially Mrs. Qiao, it is very beautiful when you look closely. ”
Huo Jingcheng: "Oh? What is the American law? ”
Qin An was about to answer, but suddenly he was a little confused: "Huh? Your Highness, how did you study beauty today? Your house is full of beauty......"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want you to say it, you can say it."
When Qin An heard this, he closed his mouth and answered the question obediently: "Your Highness, the villain feels that Mrs. Qiao's beauty is like wine, you have to taste it slowly, it is not amazing at a glance, but if you look at it a few more times, the more you look at it, the better it looks, the corners of your eyes and eyebrows are quite charming, and you can make people look drunk." ”
"Haha-" Huo Jingcheng laughed after hearing this.
Qin An saw that he seemed to be a little abnormal today, and there was a suspicion in his eyes: "Your Highness......"
Huo Jingcheng saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and when he looked at his expression again, he also understood what he was thinking, so he said, "What do you think?" It's just gossip, it's nothing, don't mention it when you get outside, you know! ”
Qin An dispelled his suspicions: "Yes, the villain understands." ”
……
This summer rain gradually became smaller from the beginning of the majestic, and it continued to flow for several days before stopping. The air was moist and filled with the smell of earth.
At this time, Qiao Fengzhi was about to take Yao Duran to take a walk outside. The rain continued, and they were stuffy in their tents for several days, but today the rain stopped, and they could finally go out and breathe.
The moon branch and the green diaphragm dressed Yao Duran in a light gauze and white coat, and the cuffs were embroidered with half-open hibiscus flowers with gold thread. The lower body is a long skirt of aqua blue brocade, the brocade is smooth and fine, and the drape is excellent. This blue and white dress is very elegant and beautiful on her body.
Yao Duran liked it in her heart, and praised Yuezhi and Lu Yan: "The vision of the two of you is really good. The color of the dress is elegant, and it fits well. ”
These dresses were still Qiao Fengzhi gave Yuezhi and Lu Yan some money a few days ago, and asked the two of them to go out of the camp to buy fabrics on the street and send them to be cut, and this morning the rain stopped and the two went to get them back, who knew that they would wear them to her, and they really looked good and fitted.
Seeing that she liked it, Lu Yan smiled and said: "Which is our good vision, it is the lady who is good and beautiful, not to mention these beautiful dresses, it is coarse linen, and the lady is also beautiful when she wears it." ”
Qiao Fengzhi also admired it for a while, and suddenly wondered: "Dye'er, what about the silk sachet you often wear?" As if I haven't seen it for a few days, I took it and put it on today, and it matches your dress. ”
Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "I don't know when that sachet was lost." Anyway, it's old, and the vanilla inside has lost its taste, so let's go back and make it again. ”
"It's fine. Let's go. Qiao Fengzhi took her hand and walked out. Seeing that he was not suspicious, Yao Duran felt a little relieved. In fact, she likes the sachet very much, and she will take out the herbs inside in three or two days, and then clean the sachet and keep it white all the time. But the grass was lost that day, and she guessed that it must have fallen during a fall. Later, she went for a walk in the pasture and looked for it again, but she didn't find it. Then, you can't continue to look for it, if you look for it again, do you still have to ask Huo Jingcheng? She doesn't want to, she always avoids it.
The two of them got out of the tent, and only after walking for a while, they saw Fuquan hurrying towards them.
After he stood still, he panted and said, "Childe, His Royal Highness and Lord Xiangguo asked you to go to the military tent to discuss matters!" ”
After hearing the surprise, Qiao Fengzhi asked, "Do you know what happened?" ”
Fuquan took a breath and said happily: "Childe, it's good news!" His Majesty's decree has arrived! Anbei's policy has finally been issued! ”
When the two of them heard this, they were naturally happy. Qiao Fengzhi looked at her and said, "Dye'er, you go back, I'll take a look." ”
"Good. Go for it. ”
Qiao Fengzhi and Fuquan hurriedly went.
Yao Duran had no intention of taking a walk alone, so he had to turn back again.
As soon as he walked to the tent, the conversation between Lu Yan and Yuezhi came out of it, stopping Yao Duran's footsteps.
"Lu Lang, you are really true, just praised Mrs. Qiao as a flower. Hmph, I don't think she's like that. I inquired clearly, that Mrs. Qiao was just a palace maid in the palace, and she hooked up with Gongzi Qiao with a bit of grace. But Gongzi Qiao is not a eunuch, everyone in the barracks knows it. Now that Gongzi Qiao is a celebrity in front of His Royal Highness, and his future is bright, how can that lady be worthy of Gongzi Qiao? ”
This voice is from the moon branch, and the words are full of disdain and sourness.
Then, it was the voice of the green diaphragm, with a bit of sternness: "Moon Branch! Why is this nonsense? We are commanded to serve them, and they are our masters, and how and where were we in charge of them? It's not up to us to decide whether we are worthy or not. Besides, if you let others hear this, they still think that you love Gongzi Qiao and can't see Mrs. Qiao. ”
Then came Yuezhi's coquettish voice: "Oh, you, good green man, I'm ...... Where do I love Mr. Qiao, I can't see Mrs. Qiao, you don't want to talk nonsense. ”
"Then you put away these yin and yang weird words, but don't say any more, if others hear it, there will be your good fruit to eat."
"If you don't say it, you don't say it, huh. Anyway, some things are obvious there, and even if you don't say it, everyone is not blind or deaf. ”
"Okay, okay, early in the morning, listen to what you're talking about here. Hurry up and clean up, and go out to breathe after cleaning. ”
And so the conversation inside ended.
Yao Duran slowly let go of his clenched palm, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then lifted the curtain and walked in casually.
"Huh? Didn't Madame go for a walk? Why did you come back so soon? Lu Yan put down the rag and greeted him and asked. And the moon branch is not so natural, being a thief with a weak heart, as if worrying about something.
Yao Duran was still kind and natural, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has something to discuss over there, so I called Fengzhi away, and I came back." ”
"I see, anyway, the rain has stopped, and Madame won't be in the way if she takes a walk later." Green said, continuing to wipe the table and chair.
Seeing that she was as usual, Yuezhi was also relieved and continued to sprinkle and sweep.
Yao Duran came to the bed and sat down, quietly watched them clean, and after watching for a while, she suddenly ran nervously to the low cabinet at the end of the bed, picked up the burden on it, took out a brocade box from it, and rejoiced while looking at it: "It's okay, it's okay, it's scared to death." ”
Seeing this, Lu Yan asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
