Chapter 198: Sweet
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The folds piled high on the table, as the hours passed, Yun Rongjue read them one by one, and slowly fell.
"Your Majesty, a letter from Mongolia." The officer submitted the letter.
Yun Rongjue took it, looked at it, and rarely showed a smile on his face.
Chai Neiguan hadn't seen Yun Rongjue smile on his face for a long time, and he also smiled, "Your Majesty, it's a happy event, right?" ”
"It's a happy event, the Khan of Mongolia sent a letter, the princess's marriage has been decided, and it is scheduled to be in early January, and the princess will be married, and we should prepare for it here." Yun Rongjue said.
Chai Neiguan bowed his head again and again, "It is really a great happy event, if Lord Xiao knows, he will definitely be even happier." ”
Yun Rongjue smiled, "This is natural, you will tell Lord Xiao about this, and let him prepare, the princess is married to Da Liang, you should help prepare for it, don't slack off." ”
"The slave understands, so let people do it!"
"Ahem......"
Chai Neiguan was just about to retreat from the Heart Nourishing Palace, when he heard Yun Rongjue cough heavily, "Your Majesty, you have been coughing since yesterday, I'm afraid that you have a cold, please take a look?" ”
"No, it's just two coughs, and it will be fine in two days, so you can go down first." Yun Rongjue waved his hand.
Chai Neiguan didn't want to say anything more, and after bowing his head, he left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
……
Hall of the Dance.
It was silent outside, Jiang Wu was half-leaning on the soft collapse, holding the scroll in her hand, her eyes fell on the scroll, but her eyes were not condensed, obviously her mind was not on the book in her hand.
There was a faint sound in her ears, she turned around, and in a blink of an eye, she saw the two officials in the palace and Nanfu whispering, "What are you muttering?" She slowly lowered the scroll in her hand.
The internal official was fast-talking, and the words blurted out, "Back to Zhaohua, the slave heard that the emperor is sick." ”
Jiang Wu was stunned, her hand trembled, and she almost knocked over the cup in her hand, and she murmured: "Your Majesty...... Sick? ”
"Yes, I heard that he is still not lightly ill, Chai Neiguan wanted to ask the imperial doctor to see the emperor several times, but the emperor rejected it, I heard that there were many things in the past few days, and I wanted to come...... Because of this, the emperor became ill from hard work. The internal officer said.
After Nanfu and Neiguan glanced at each other, they carefully looked at Jiang Wu's expression.
Jiang Wu's eyelashes drooped, as if she was emotional, but the curly eyelashes covered the emotions under her eyes, which was difficult to see.
For a long time, Jiang Wu didn't say anything, and Nanfu and Neiguan slowly withdrew from the Spirit Dance Palace.
"Sister Nanfu, I didn't react when I looked at Zhaohua, isn't it really dead to the emperor?" The internal officer said worriedly.
Nanfu scolded lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, let's take a look, I think, Xiao Wu won't have no feelings for the emperor at all." ”
The internal official pouted, "Hey, I hope Zhaohua can react, otherwise if it goes on like this, our Spirit Dance Hall will really become a cold ......."
Nanfu glared, the internal official trembled, and stopped talking.
The Spirit Dance Hall was quiet for about half an hour, and Nanfu stood guard outside the hall, occasionally glancing in with worry.
Suddenly!
The door of the hall was opened, Nanfu was excited, and quickly stood up, and saw Jiang Wu walking out, "Xiao Wu." ”
Jiang Wu lowered his eyes, "I've been in the palace for a long time, go out for a walk." With that, he walked straight out of the palace.
Nanfu came back to her senses, quickly picked up the cloak from the temple, and quickly followed.
Nanfu followed Jiang Wu all the way, and seeing that this road was going to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she couldn't help but bow her head and smile.
"Xiao Wu, where are we going? Go further, and it will be the emperor's heart palace. Nanff spoke.
Jiang Wu was silent until she reached the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she stopped slowly, subconsciously turned her eyes, and glanced inside, with a deep emotion.
Nanfu saw her standing for a moment, but she didn't move, and stepped forward, "Xiao Wu, if you're worried about the emperor, let's go and take a look." ”
Jiang Wu frowned subconsciously and turned around suddenly, "Go back to the palace." ”
Nanfu was stunned, this is going back?! She was just about to open her mouth to say something, when Jiang Wu turned around, and a familiar voice came from behind her.
"The slave has seen Zhaohua Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an." Chai Neiguan saw Jiang Wu outside at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him and stopped him in time.
"Officer Chai."
"Zhaohua Niangniang is coming to see the emperor? The emperor is inside, and Zhaohua Niangniang can go in. Chai Neiguan said.
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and after a while, she said slowly: "I happened to pass by, and the emperor took care of everything, so I still don't bother." ”
"Eh, Niangniang," Chai Neiguan saw that Jiang Wu was leaving, and hurriedly stopped, "Niangniang, Niangniang came to see the emperor to talk about how to disturb, and didn't hide from Niangniang, the emperor has contracted a cough in the past few days, and we have persuaded the emperor many times as slaves, but the emperor refused to invite the imperial doctor to come and see, and if this continues, the emperor's body is afraid that it will collapse, and in this palace, only you can persuade the emperor." ”
Jiang Wu's hesitant eyes flashed a touch of distress.
"...... Let's go and visit the emperor. Chai Neiguan said again.
Jiang Wu was silent for a moment, then finally turned around and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Seeing this, Chai Neiguan's eyes were suddenly filled with joy, and he hurriedly followed.
Jiang Wu had just walked up the steps to the door of the main hall when he heard a lot of coughing sounds coming from inside, one after another, which was very uncomforting.
She frowned, unconsciously quickened the pace under her feet, and walked in.
The hall was quiet, only Yun Rongjue was alone, Jiang Wu walked in lightly, and saw the man sitting at the table, with a pile of folds in front of him, he held the folds in one hand and read them, and covered his lips with his fist in the other hand and coughed.
Jiang Wu breathed heavily, bit his lip, and approached.
"Didn't I tell you, don't come and disturb me?! I can't even understand the words, do I? Yun Rongjue didn't raise his eyes and scolded in a low voice.
The people standing next to him didn't mean to leave, Yun Rongjue was annoyed, and he waved his hand and raised his head, "Bastard thing!" ”
Bang!
Yun Rongjue waved her hand, and the tea bowl in her hand was overturned and fell to the ground, Jiang Wu was on the side, she instinctively avoided it sideways, and the cold tea splashed on the back of her hand.
The moment Yun Rongjue raised his eyes, he breathed heavily, "Sister? ”
Jiang Wu lowered her head to see the broken tea bowl on the ground, she bent down and went to pick up the broken bowl.
Yun Rongjue frowned, immediately got up and bent down, and took the fragment she picked up in her hand, "Why are you here?" Yun Rongjue spoke.
The two stood up, Jiang Wu looked up, "The emperor has a bad cough, why don't you let the official Chai Neiguan ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
"It's not a big deal, it will be fine in a few days." Yun Rongjue said.
Jiang Wuxiu's eyebrows were furrowed even deeper, "Does the emperor care so much about his body." ”
Yun Rongjue's eyes hooked up a touch of emotion, and he looked at her fixedly, "Why did my sister come this time?" ”
"Is it because I'm worried about my body, or is there something else to say?"
Jiang Wu was silent for a moment.
Yun Rongjue rolled her eyes, "If my sister has something else, even if it is said, I still have a lot of notes to be reviewed here." His voice was a little colder.
Jiang Wu stretched out his little hand to stop him from flipping through the big palm that he was about to flip through again, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, your body is important." ”
Yun Rongjue's eyes froze, and he rolled his eyes leisurely, "My sister still cares about me." ”
Jiang Wu didn't deny it, but he didn't say it explicitly.
Yun Rongjue's face sank, "I want to listen to my sister." ”
Jiang Wu held back his emotions and was silent for a while.
"Ahem...... Well, sister, let's go back. ”
Jiang Wuben was still calm, but as soon as she heard Yun Rongjue's heavy cough, her whole mood tensed, and she couldn't care much, "The emperor has a terrible cough, I must let the imperial doctor come and see, Chai Neiguan." ”
After she finished speaking, she summoned Chai Neiguan in, and didn't care whether Yun Rongjue agreed or not, so she asked Chai Neiguan to ask for a doctor.
Chai Neiguan subconsciously glanced at Yun Rongjue, and seeing that Yun Rongjue had no obvious veto, he nodded again and again and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"State affairs are important, but the emperor's body is even more important, and when the imperial doctor finishes diagnosing the emperor's pulse, it is not too late for the emperor to look at these twists and turns." As she spoke, she took Yun Rongjue's hand, led him away from the table, and walked to the soft couch where she was resting.
Yun Rongjue looked at it and let her do what she did.
After a while, the imperial doctor hurriedly walked into the hall and hurriedly checked Yun Rongjue's pulse.
Jiang Wu looked nervously, she didn't know that her nervousness and emotions should all fall into the eyes of the men around her.
After the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, he explained Yun Rongjue's physical condition.
Yun Rongjue was suffering from the wind and cold, coupled with hard work day and night, which caused the illness to worsen, which is not a big deal, but if it is not carefully regulated, it is easy to become a stubborn disease.
"Weichen prescribes a prescription for people to decoction, and the emperor can drink it on time every day." After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Not long after the imperial doctor withdrew, the official Chai Neiguan brought a bowl of porridge, "Your Majesty, you had breakfast for dinner, and you didn't eat much, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine for a while, you can use some more meals before drinking the medicine." ”
Without waiting for Yun Rongjue to respond, Jiang Wu took the porcelain bowl first. Seeing this, Chai Neiguan smiled and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Your Majesty, use some." Jiang Wu said.
Yun Rongjue glanced at her, didn't say anything, and didn't refuse.
Yun Rongjue was eating porridge, Jiang Wu was watching, and neither of them said anything. After the porridge was eaten, the palace people brought up the decoction of the medicine, and it was a bowl of pitch black, which was difficult to swallow.
Yun Rongjue looked at the dark medicine in the bowl, he was not in a hurry to drink it, he held the spoon in one hand, and poured it lightly, "I just asked, my sister has not answered me yet." ”
Jiang Wu's little hands couldn't help but clench tightly, he had to give her an answer.
"The emperor should drink the medicine first, it's not good if the medicine is cold."
With a clanging sound, Yun Rongjue let go of his hand, and the spoon and the porcelain bowl collided with a crisp sound.
"If my sister is unintentional, whether I drink medicine or not, whether my health is good or not, and what does it have to do with my sister?" Yun Rongjue said in a deep voice.
Jiang Wu's breathing was a little heavier. She could distinctly feel the burning gaze he threw at her.
After a few moments, she finally relented, "Yes...... Xiao Wu ...... Xiao Wu cares about the emperor. After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes slowly, "Can the emperor drink medicine?" "Butterfly
Yun Rongjue's tense handsome face slowly unfolded. I didn't hold on anymore, scooped a spoonful of medicinal soup, and took a sip.
This medicine is very bitter.
Jiang Wu saw that his eyebrows were ugly, and he couldn't help but get closer, "Is the medicine too bitter?" ”
Yun Rongjue chuckled, "This medicine is sweet." ”
"Sweet?"
Jiang Wu was surprised, and looked at the dark medicine in the bowl suspiciously. No matter how you look at this medicine, it can't be sweet.
And the look in his eyes when he took a sip was obviously too bitter.
"Sister doesn't believe me?"
Jiang Wu shook his head, "How can it be sweet." ”
Yun Rongjue's thin lips hooked slightly, "If my sister doesn't believe it, try it." ”
Jiang Wu was skeptical, reached out and picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful, but before she could put it in her mouth, suddenly, there was a force in her wrist.
Yun Rongjue drank a spoonful of decoction from the spoon in her hand and pressed the back of her neck with one hand.
"Hmm......"
Jiang Wu didn't react, his lips were covered with warmth.
The bitter feeling instantly spread between her lips, causing her brows to furrow unconsciously, and her little hands instinctively wanted to push him away.
But Yun Rongjue tightly clamped her, making her unable to move.
I don't know how long it took for Yun Rongjue to slowly let go of her.
She was already leaning into his arms, her breath uneven.
"I didn't know my sister was so ruthless." His voice was hoarse, and his breath was uneven.
Jiang Wu breathed slowly, instinctively denying, "Xiao Wu didn't." ”
Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes and looked at it, "My sister is still angry?" I know that this incident has wronged my sister. ”
After Jiang Wu's breath calmed down, she leaned on Yun Rongjue's arms, her eyes trembled slightly, and she was emotional.
She was angry, sad, and even hopeless.
But nowadays......
Xiao Qijin's words, as well as Sheng Liangren's persuasion.
It is to dissipate those emotions in her heart little by little.
She slowly raised her head and looked at him.
The exhaustion in his eyes was clearly visible.
In the next moment, she reached out and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.
Yun Rongjue breathed heavily, and the little girl's initiative was the most fatal catalyst for his emotions.
His thin lips pressed against hers again.
This night's Heart Nourishing Hall is extraordinarily calm.
After Jiang Wu went in, he didn't come out again.
Chai Neiguan was guarding outside the door, watching the hours pass by, and couldn't help laughing.
This stormy day is coming to an end.
……
Following.
Jiang Wu woke up to the murmur, and when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the familiar handsome face that reassured her.
"Brother Jue."
The little girl was still a little confused, and called him softly in a daze.
Yun Rongjue hugged her tighter, and her thin lips fell on her smooth forehead.
Jiang Wu eased his mind for a moment, then sobered up a little, and raised his eyes to look at him, "Isn't the emperor going to court today?" She asked.
Yun Rongjue chuckled, "Since I am sick, I should always rest and recuperate, accompany my sister to finish breakfast for a while, and then go to the Xuanshu Hall to discuss state affairs with the sixth brother." ”
Jiang Wu shook his head.
The two hugged each other for a moment before getting up.
The palace people called hot water for washing, and Jiang Wu changed Yun Rongjue's clothes and boots.
After the breakfast was prepared and the two of them finished it together, Chai Neiguan brought the bitter medicine soup, and Jiang Wu watched Yun Rongjue drink it before he was relieved, and he didn't forget to twist a candied fruit for him.
Yun Rongjue was also happy to eat.
After finishing breakfast and decoction, Yun Rongjue went to the Xuanshu Palace.
Jiang Wu also left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Jiang Wu's face was much better than yesterday when he came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Nanfu came to guard early in the morning, and when she saw Jiang Wu coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, and saw that her face was in a good mood, so she couldn't help asking: "Xiao Wu, have you reconciled with the emperor?" ”
Jiang Wu chuckled, and the smile contained everything.
Nanfu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, it's finally over, it's really good that Xiao Wu has figured it out." ”
Jiang Wu sighed and smiled, and said slowly: "I was too emotional before, and I ignored a lot. ”
She was blindly immersed in the sadness of losing her son, blaming Yun Rongjue for not punishing the culprit severely, but she forgot that he, like her, was no less sad than her, and he had a lot to take into account.
Xiao Qijin's words......
What he did for her, if Xiao Qijin hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known.
Nanfu chuckled, "Well, Xiao Wu, it's good that you and the emperor are reconciled!" ”
Jiang Wu smiled, bowed his head lightly, and said, "Let's go to the Internal Affairs Office and choose some materials." ”
"Picking? What to do? Nanff asked.
"Isn't it not long before the Shadow Princess is going to get married? She and Master Xiao got married, and I wanted to make the right mandarin duck pillow for them. Jiang Wu said.
Nanfu accompanied Jiang Wu to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and after a lot of selection, she chose a red satin.
On the way back to the palace, Jiang Wu was thinking about how to embroider this pair of pillows.
"Xiao Wu, look, those flowers are so beautiful."
Jiang Wu looked along Nanfu's point, and saw several palace people in the flower room holding a pot of different flowers in their hands, one of which was the most special.
"See Jiang Zhaohua."
The palace people stopped and saluted when they saw her.
"What kind of flowers are these, so beautiful."
"Back to Zhaohua, these are all new flower species newly cultivated in the flower house, this one is a red-tailed pothos."
"Red-tailed pothos, it's so beautiful, Xiao Wu, our Spirit Dance Hall just cleared a few pots of wilted flowers, if this pot is put in our palace, it will be very beautiful." Nanfu said.
Jiang Wu bowed his head, "It's good-looking, can this pot be sent to the Spirit Dance Palace?" ”
The palace man bowed his head, "The slave will send it to Zhaohua in a while." ”
"I'll have that pot."
As soon as the palace man's words fell, suddenly, a voice sounded, and Jiang Wu subconsciously turned around.
I saw Jiang Qiong walking over with lotus steps.
Jiang Qiong looked at Jiang Wu with a smile, and then bowed to Jiang Wu, "See Jiang Zhaohua for concubines." ”
"This flower is very beautiful, for a while, let's move it to my palace." After Jiang Qiong finished speaking, she looked at the palace man holding the flower pot and repeated.
The palace people were embarrassed, looked at the two of them, and did not respond for a long time.
"Jiang Meiren, I'm afraid it's wrong for you to do this, right?" Nanfu spoke, "This basin is what Zhaohua took a fancy to first. ”
Jiang Qiong blinked when she heard the sound and looked at Jiang Wu, "Ah, is it?" The concubine really doesn't know, Zhaohua and the concubine have taken a fancy to the same pot of flowers, but Zhaohua Niangniang has always been generous and ...... Now the emperor rarely goes to the palace of Zhaohua Niangniang, this flower, even if Zhaohua Niangniang takes it back, no one appreciates it, it will be a waste. ”
"It's better to be in the palace of concubines, the emperor comes over from time to time, and you can still see a fresh, Zhaohua Niangniang said yes?"
Jiang Qiong's every word was extremely sarcastic.
Jiang Wu listened, although he felt harsh, but he was not surprised.
She and Yun Rongjue have been cold for a long time, and the people in this palace are the same as Jiang Qiong, thinking that she has completely lost Yun Rongjue's favor.
"Jiang Meiren, Zhaohua's position is above you, you are arrogant!" Nanfu said.
Jiang Qiong didn't think so, "The position of the mother is indeed above the concubine, but now the mother has anything else besides this share?" ”
"Niangniang, the concubine doesn't want to fight with Niangniang, it's just a pot of flowers, why bother?" Jiang Qiong looked at Jiang Wu with a playful smile.
Jiang Wu's expression was indifferent, "Yes, it's just a pot of flowers." ”
The smile on Jiang Qiong's face deepened, "Since Niangniang said it, then this flower, the concubine will take it," she said and looked at the palace people holding the flower pot, "Send it to my palace in a while." ”
"This flower is indeed beautiful."
Suddenly, a deep voice interjected, and everyone turned away.
I saw Yun Rongjue, who was wearing a black embroidered gold-rimmed dragon robe, walking over.
