Chapter 471: Mid-Autumn Night
In August, the leaves are yellow, and the early autumn has not yet withered, but it is a little magnificent, and the wind in the mountains is a little cool.
Of course, these days, Emperor Zhou has been looking for the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaoyu and Princess Jingyun, but this medicine house is a pure place that Liu Ruli is specifically looking for, how can it be so easy to be found by outsiders?
Jiang Xiaoyu held a wooden stick as a sword in her hand and began to practice swordsmanship, her movements were a little clumsy, after all, her body had been seriously injured, and there were major problems with her meridians and bones, so her body was very stiff now, and her body had not fully recovered, and even some of the simplest moves could not be very standard.
Jiang Xiaoyu practiced all morning, sweating all over, but he couldn't find his previous state, and he threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground in some discouragement.
"You're in a hurry!" Liu Ruli hugged his arms and said, "Your injuries have not recovered, and forcibly practicing now will only backfire, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you have to remember!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu hung his head and sat down on the stone bench beside him, looked at his hands and said helplessly: "Master, my martial arts will not be able to recover again, right?" ”
Liu Ruli sneered: "You are really greedy enough, when you woke up, you said that you were satisfied as long as you can stand up, and now you want to resume your previous martial arts?" ”
"Master!"
Liu Ruli sighed and said: "Although you can stand up and walk now, but you have to think about your injuries, your muscles and veins are broken, and your bones are broken. You've been able to achieve the results you have achieved in just over a month, so what? Besides, your bones and meridians are in the healing period, and your current body is no different from a person who doesn't know martial arts, except for internal strength, don't worry, take your time, you will recover slowly! Don't overthink it, go back and rest! ”
"Got it, Master!" Jiang Xiaoyu went back to rest dejectedly, he survived, but he didn't know when his martial arts would be able to return to his previous level, and the master was right, it was really a lack of greed, he was able to walk, and now he was thinking about resuming his martial arts!
Jing Yun entered the medicine and said, "Let's drink today's medicine first!" ”
She exclaimed in surprise: "Xiaoyu, your chest?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu lowered her eyes, some blood oozed out of her chest, thinking that the wound on her chest had been cracked, and she said lightly: "Don't worry, it's just a small injury!" ”
Jing Yun hurriedly stepped forward and took the medicine box to treat her wounds, these days by Liu Ruli's side, for some skin injuries, she has been able to be handy.
"Why are you so careless? How difficult it is for a wound to grow, how can it be allowed to open? Jing Yun scolded distressedly.
"It's really fine, it'll be fine in two days, don't tell Master about this, he will definitely scold me!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"If only you knew!" Jing Yun dealt with Jiang Xiaoyu's injuries, paused and said, "I know you are in a hurry, but there are some things that can be solved without a hurry!" Haste makes waste! ”
"I know the truth!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "It's just that there is no news coming back after Senior Brother went to Chen Kingdom, how can I not be in a hurry in my heart?" Emperor Zhou is ruthless, Zhao Ling is in the capital, danger may come at any time, every time I think of their current situation, I can't grow wings, go to their side now! ”
"Don't talk about this, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, if you have something you want to eat, I'll make it for you!" Jingyun asked.
"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Jiang Xiaoyu paused for a moment, "Time flies so fast, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”
She recalled the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when she and Zhao Ling had just gotten married, and spent the warmest Mid-Autumn Festival in the Chu Palace, but at night things changed abruptly, if that night, Emperor Zhou was really assassinated, what would happen?
It was also on that night that the second prince warned himself not to do things that exceeded his bottom line, if he knew what happened later, would he still say those words?
As if it happened yesterday, those possibilities are still a thorn in the heart.
"Little fish?"
"After the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, you and the second prince were under house arrest in the second prince's mansion for several months, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
"yes!" Jingyun said, "But that time was the happiest time in my life, although I couldn't go out of the Second Prince's Mansion at that time, I could get along with Xianggong day and night, at that time he danced the sword, I played the piano, there was never more things like that time, I could see him when I opened my eyes, I could see him at any time when I wanted to see him, even if I recall it now, it was also the sweetest time in my life!" ”
"That's right!" Jing Yun held back his tears, "Although there are only three of us here, we still have to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll prepare now, we always have to live the days, no matter what, we have to go on!" ”
As long as the three of them are in this mountain, the Mid-Autumn Festival will inevitably seem to be calmer in the past, but the place with many people may not be lively.
The Queen Mother has never experienced gathering all the people of the clan this year to have a banquet to enhance her feelings, she has experienced too many blows, her body is not as good as day by day, and her spirit is even more depressed.
This is also how many years, the big guy has not spent the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, the queen mother is so sick that it is difficult to get up, and Concubine De is not good to have a grand Mid-Autumn Festival, and she eats some moon cakes with the five princes, which is regarded as a festival.
Concubine De didn't expect Emperor Zhou to come to her at this time, after all, His Majesty's estrangement from her could be seen.
Emperor Zhou held the six princes in his arms, looked at the moon cakes that Concubine De and the five princes had eaten, and said lightly: "Your mother and son are very comfortable!" ”
Concubine De hurriedly said: "I never thought that Your Majesty would come to the concubine today!" ”
"Are you blaming me for snubbing you?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyes and asked.
"The concubine didn't mean this, the concubine felt that His Majesty might be busy with government affairs and didn't dare to disturb!"
"I am also a mortal, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I naturally want to spend it with my wife and son!" Emperor Zhou teased the six princes in his arms, and the six princes also laughed very face-saving, which made Emperor Zhou's heart feel a lot more happy, every time he saw this little son, he would feel that he was still very young.
"Yes!" Concubine De smiled slightly, "Has Your Majesty eaten it?" The concubine asked the kitchen to prepare some meals for His Majesty, right? ”
"No need, I'll eat some with you!" Emperor Zhou handed the six princes to the nurse and looked at the food on the table, "These moon cakes are exquisite, have they been prepared for the Queen Mother?" ”
"I have prepared it for a long time, the concubine personally sent it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is tired and wants to rest, and the concubine will come back!" Concubine De said, "This moon cake is a new product this year, if Your Majesty likes to eat it, the concubine will let the kitchen make more!" ”
"Just try it, don't bother!" Emperor Zhou didn't dislike Concubine De and Zhao Li eating the rest of the mooncakes on the table, and also ate a few bites.
Concubine De observed Emperor Zhou's face, rolled her eyes and said: "Today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubine sister is too bleak alone, the concubine asks Your Majesty for a favor, hoping that Your Majesty can allow the concubine to send some snacks to the concubine's sister!" ”
Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, and glanced at Concubine De, Concubine De's heart tightened, afraid that he would be angry, but Emperor Zhou just nodded silently.
"Concubine for Sister Guifei, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!"
"The concubine lost her son in middle age, it's really pitiful!" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "That's it, let Concubine Yun accompany her!" ”
"Concubine Yun?" Concubine De's face changed a little, I don't know which one Your Majesty is singing, hasn't Concubine Yun been quite favored by him recently?
Seeing that Concubine De was puzzled, Emperor Zhou said lightly: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that I have come to see her a little upset recently, let her go with the concubine for a period of time and learn from the concubine's temperament!" ”
"Yes!" Concubine De didn't dare to ask more, she didn't know what made Concubine Yun unhappy with him, saying that she was unaccompanied Concubine De, but I was afraid that it would be no different from entering the cold palace.
After Emperor Zhou sat down with Concubine De for a short time, he got up and went to the imperial study.
Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My son is now afraid of his father when he sees him, and he was afraid of him before, but he has never been so afraid of him as he is now!" I don't know what will anger him, but this day is ......."
"Let's say a few words, compared to the Chu Palace, our life is better!" Concubine De sighed and said, "I don't know how Princess Jingyun is now?" It is said that Jiang Xiaoyu was rescued, and it is estimated that the person who saved her is her master, and I don't know what happened to her now? I don't know what will happen in the future! ”
Jiangfu.
The fourth aunt cleaned up the Jiangfu lively, and the people were happy and happy for the festival, and they were not affected by the gloomy clouds that shrouded the Jiangfu, but the other people were not so relaxed, even if it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, Jiang Yuan's expression was not necessarily so relaxed, but as depressed as ever.
The depression on his face began with the second prince being imprisoned, until the news that Jiang Xiaoyu fell off the cliff, and then it has not disappeared, but has become more and more serious.
The fourth aunt's child has been born, it is a girl, even if the child is born, this has not alleviated the emotions on Jiang Yuan's face, he just glanced at the born child, he has never hugged her, his mind has been full of suspicion of His Majesty's mind, His Majesty has never offended him, and he has not even scolded him, but the more so, he has fallen into a more and more uneasy situation.
