Fu Ci was very tired of going out and cooking today, and Xiangluo sent Meng Yan to Furong Garden after serving her to wash up.

At this moment, Su Manshuang has not rested, and is taking care of the costumes she brought from Su Mansion. Su Manshuang's biological mother was born in an opera, and she can also sing a few words, which is naturally indispensable.

"Slave maid Meng Yan to the side concubine Niangniang", Meng Yan saluted Su Manshuang after entering the house and said.

Su Manshuang glanced up at the person who came, and after confirming that it was the maid beside Fu Ci, she lowered her head and sorted out those things, and did not say anything to let Meng Yan get up. Meng Yan squatted for a moment, and then Su Manshuang asked lazily, "What did your mother ask you to come here?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Yan took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "My master knows that the side concubine Niangniang's knees are uncomfortable, so he specially asked the slave and maid to send these medicines to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis." ”

Su Manshuang glanced at it with drooping eyelids, and called tiredly: "Aunt Qingyuan." ”

Qing Yuan was surprised and took the small porcelain vase from Meng Yan's hand. Su Manshuang then asked, "Does your master have anything else?" ”

"The master also asked the slave maid to bring words, saying that she was thinking about her mother", Meng Yan said respectfully.

Su Manshuang responded, "I know, thank you for me, princess", as she spoke, she waved her hand at Meng Yan and motioned for her to retreat. Meng Yan understood. After giving Su Manshuang a salute, he withdrew from Furong Garden.

After Meng Yan left, Qingyuan snorted coldly, "We don't have any good medicinal materials in Sufu, and she still uses them for rewarding?" ”

Su Manshuang glanced at Qingyuan and said, "Auntie, let's accumulate some virtue." Who of you and I doesn't know that Fu Ci is the daughter who was disliked by Fu Guogong, if it wasn't for the prince's reward, how could she have such good medicinal materials? ”

Qingyuan sighed, "The slave and maid threw it out, and the side concubine of the province looked upset." ”

As he spoke, he was about to throw it out, but Su Manshuang hurriedly stopped him, "Auntie, stop it, this is not in Su Mansion, Fu Ci is the prince's wife, why should we bother to make her unhappy?" ”

Xiangluo looked at Su Manshuang's appearance, with a little sadness and sympathy in her eyes, "I'm really embarrassed for the concubine." ”

Qingyuan helped Su Manshuang to the couch to untie her wide clothes, exposing her knees, and Qingyuan rubbed Su Manshuang.

Her movements were very light, for fear of hurting Su Manshuang. But Su Manshuang was used to being pampered, Qingyuan didn't use much effort, she grinned in pain, Qingyuan wiped her tears, and said in a choked voice: "The slave maid will give the side concubine another hot compress and apply some ointment." ”

Su Manshuang answered, and Qingyuan ordered the two little maids to get some hot water for Su Manshuang, and went to the cupboard to get the ointment. She wrung out the cloth soaked in hot water, applied it to Su Manshuang's knees, took some ointment on her fingertips, and said softly, "Concubine Fang, bear with it." ”

Qingyuan rubbed Su Manshuang's knees and asked, "The master has asked today, why doesn't the side concubine tell the truth to the master?" ”

Su Manshuang naturally knew that Qingyuan was talking about the humiliation of herself in the Regent's Mansion, she didn't want to mention it, but seeing Qingyuan's serious question, she smiled bitterly and asked: "If I sue the prince in front of my father, can I stay in this Regent's Mansion in the future?" ”

Qing Yuan sighed and sighed, "That's the same. It's the old slave who is confused. ”

Su Manshuang didn't squeak anymore, and Qingyuan increased the movements in his hands. The young lady of her family, except for some sins in the past few years when she followed her master, she didn't suffer much when she grew up so big. Now, this kind of appearance is something Qingyuan never expected.

Seeing Su Manshuang's injury, Qingyuan hurriedly changed the topic, "The slave and maid see that the prince has already moved his heart to you in the carriage today, why does the concubine want to avoid the prince?" ”

Su Manshuang raised her head and said to Qingyuan with a serious expression: "For the four words 'want to capture and indulge'." ”

After that, Su Manshuang no longer paid attention to Qingyuan. Today, Su You once told her alone that the people who can be liked by Cangxi are not just because of their outstanding appearance. In Su You's opinion, Fu Ci is not a simple person. Cangxi can give her a special favor for six months, and she wants to come to Fu Ci to do things more than ordinary women.

Seeing that Qingyuan was still looking at himself puzzled, Su Manshuang nodded: "Daddy said that there is no man who is not lustful, but men will spoil women with brains for a longer time." ”

After Su Manshuang finished speaking, looking at Qingyuan's expression, she knew that she didn't understand much. This person is dedicated to herself, but the means and methods she uses are some of them that can't get into Cangxi's eyes.

"I heard that a general named Cheng Yue came to the mansion today to fight Jinling City?" Su Manshuang asked.

"Concubine Fang, you don't care if he is Jinling or Chang'an, Zuo is just here to defect to the prince", Qingyuan said.

Su Manshuang shook her head, "Auntie's words are wrong. I often heard my father mention this General Cheng Yue in Su Mansion, he was a person under the prince, and he was a person who went to the battlefield with the prince. This time I came here and it was not as simple as defection. ”

Qingyuan didn't dare to answer without permission. This kind of thing involves a wide range of things, and it is not something that a person like her who is a slave or a servant can talk about.

Su Manshuang didn't speak again, she had always been unable to guess Cangxi's thoughts. This kind of thing about the country, even if Su Manshuang has three brains, can't think of it.

There was silence in the house for a long time, and suddenly a small family ran in from outside the door to break the silence in the house.

"What's so alarming?" Qingyuan scolded.

The family member knelt on the ground and said with a smile on his face: "Side concubine Niangniang, hurry up, the slave saw that the prince was coming in the direction of our Furong Garden." ”

Su Manshuang was slightly stunned, but she didn't say much. Qingyuan was naturally overjoyed when she heard the news, and hurriedly asked to change Su Manshuang's clothes and touch up her makeup.

"No need, put out the lights in the corridor and in the room, if the prince comes, he will say that I am tired and have rested", Su Manshuang said and stretched.

Seeing that Qingyuan and this little family Ding were puzzled, Su Manshuang didn't want to talk to them any more, so after giving another order, Qingyuan and this family Ding listened to Su Manshuang's suggestion and turned off the lights.

"Auntie go and guard the door for me, be sure to stop the prince outside the door", Su Manshuang ordered.

Qingyuan answered, and left the room without asking why.

Sure enough, with a cup of tea, Cangxi came to the door of Furong Garden. Seeing that the lights in the courtyard and the house were extinguished, Cangxi frowned slightly, and asked Qingyuan, "Where is the side concubine?" ”

Qingyuan gave Cangxi a salute, "Today, the side concubine is tired, so she rests in advance, please go back." ”

Hearing this, Cangxi's brows furrowed even more. It's just that the night is dark, and others can't see it.

"Is the concubine sick?" Cangxi asked.

"Thank you for your concern, and the concubine is fine. It's just—"

Qingyuan paused, and Cangxi asked, "This king doesn't like people to talk and talk. ”

"It's just that I'm tired of returning home today. If the prince is thinking about the side concubine, the slave and maid will convey it from the contemporary prince. It's getting late today, please go to bed early", Qingyuan said without leaking.

Cangxi answered, turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he walked out a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and walked back again, "Your concubine's knee is injured, give her this medicine, it will be better soon." ”

After Cangxi finished speaking, he stuffed the porcelain bottle into Qingyuan's hand and brushed it away.

When it was dark and the lights in the yard were extinguished, Qingyuan couldn't see Cangxi's expression, but he still took the porcelain bottle and thanked Cangxi with joy.

After seeing Cangxi walk away, Qingyuan entered the house and lit an oil lamp.

"The prince is coming, what is the so-called matter?" Su Manshuang asked eagerly.

Qingyuan handed the porcelain vase in his hand to Su Manshuang, "The prince personally sent it to the side concubine, it can be seen that he still has you in his heart." ”

Su Manshuang looked at the medicine bottle in his hand with mixed feelings through the faint light. It seems that her father is right, this man likes intelligent and mysterious women. If you give all your true feelings to this person all at once, then I am afraid it will be difficult to cherish.

"Auntie, give me the medicine again", Su Manshuang handed the medicine bottle to Qingyuan, and Qingyuan hurriedly came down to give Su Manshuang the medicine brought by Cangxi again.

"Is the concubine feeling better?" Qingyuan asked.

Whether this is good or bad is not in the legs, but only in the heart. Cangxi personally delivered the medicine, and Su Manshuang was naturally content.

"Much better", Su Manshuang said, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Seeing Su Manshuang smiling, Qingyuan was also happy, but she couldn't help but mention Su Manshuang and said: "The side concubine pays attention to the four words 'want to capture and indulge', even if it is a means, the focus is on capture." I also hope that the princess can grasp the proportion. Just now, I didn't seem very happy when I looked at the prince. ”

Su Manshuang answered, "I know", said, and glanced out the window, "It's not early, let's go to bed early." ”

Qingyuan agreed, and sent someone to wait for Su Manshuang to wash.

She was about to sleep peacefully, but Cangxi in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion was puzzled. Judging from his previous performances, this Su Manshuang should be eager to get his true heart. Why did he give her some small favors, but she ignored them?

Looking at Cang Xi's absent-minded appearance, Cang Er called out to the side, "Master." ”

Cangxi looked up at Cang Er and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your subordinates seem to have something on your mind," Cang Er said.

Seeing that Cang Xi was silent, Cang Er continued: "But is it because Fang just ate a closed door soup at the side concubine?" ”

Cangxi was silent, and Cang Er took this as a tacit acquiescence, and then said: "The prince is thinking about the side concubine? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Cang Xi scolded, seeing that Cang Er really shut up, Cang Xi continued: "This king is just curious, a few days ago, the king of Japan made all kinds of difficulties for her, she actually kept silent to Su seniors, and even spoke out to solve the siege, which made this king puzzled, what did she smear?" ”

Cang Er scratched his head and said, "I don't know what my subordinates do, but my subordinates know that the concubine's actions are nothing more than to make the prince have more affection and favor her." ”

"But today, the king said that he would take her out of the car and she refused, and even when the king went to deliver medicine tonight, she refused to let the king go," Cangxi explained.

Cang Er didn't speak again, but looking at Cang Xi's appearance, he was already interested in Su Manshuang. Sure enough, for him, the master, being unruly is more affordable for him than being submissive.

As the night deepened, Cangxi put the scroll on the table, yawned, and said, "Let General Cheng and this king meet General Su with Su Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”

Cang Er answered.

Cangxi stood at the window on the north side and watched for a long time - the world should have changed.

Cangxi and Cheng Yue are people who practice martial arts, and they have the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts.

As soon as the rooster crowed, the two men practiced dancing in their respective yards. Fu Ci was busy in the kitchen as always, Su Manshuang made some snacks, cooked a pot of good tea, and watched Cangxi practice swords in the courtyard. Compared with the past, Su Manshuang no longer looks at Cangxi like a, although she still looks at it with great interest when she occasionally goes to the highlights.

After about half an hour, Cangxi handed the sword to the guard beside him, took the handkerchief in Su Manshuang's hand and wiped his sweat.

"Master, Cheng Gongzi is here", after Cang Er said, Cang Xi saw Cheng Yue behind him.

After Cheng Yue stepped forward to salute Cangxi, the two of them did it, and Su Manshuang looked at the person who came, and bowed slightly to show respect.

Just looking at the clothes, Cheng Yue had already guessed that this person was Cangxi's newly included concubine in the palace, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "......Who is this?" ”

Cangxi glanced at Su Manshuang and said without the slightest expression: "The side concubine of this king, the daughter of General Su You." ”

After speaking, Cheng Yue got up and bowed to Su Manshuang, "Cheng Yue has seen the side concubine." ”

"General Cheng, please get up quickly", after Cheng Yue finished saluting, Su Manshuang bowed slightly and said: "I have heard of General Cheng's reputation for a long time, and now I can see it, which is really a blessing." ”

Cheng Yue smiled, "Concubine Cheng is not talented, and now that he has resigned, Concubine Fang still calls me by name." ”

Su Manshuang answered, and wanted to say something, but saw Cangxi shake his head, "I have something important to discuss with Cheng Gongzi, you should step back first." ”

Cangxi gave an order, Su Manshuang didn't bother herself anymore, and said calmly: "Then the concubine will retire first." ”

After that, Su Manshuang retreated and met Fu Ci head-on.

Fu Ci and Xiangluo walked one after the other, both holding a food box in their hands. Su Manshuang saluted Fu Ci, Fu Ci bowed his head, and entered the Crouching Tiger Pavilion.

"The prince is talking to Cheng Gongzi about important matters, how can she go in?" Qingyuan complained.

Su Manshuang smiled bitterly, "She is the princess, what is the prince hiding from her?" ”

Qing Yuan rolled her eyes, "How is the princess?" It's not that you can't have children! ”

"Shut up!" Su Manshuang scolded, seeing that Su Manshuang was angry, Qingyuan quickly apologized and said: "The slave doesn't choose what to say, and I ask the side concubine to forgive her sins." ”

Su Manshuang sighed, "Auntie, let's take care of that mouth, it's not that my aunt doesn't understand the truth that this disaster comes from the mouth." ”

After Qingyuan answered, he stood at the door with Su Manshuang, watching Cang'er put a small round table in the courtyard, and Fu Ci and Xiangluo put all the food on the table. Fu Ci wanted to retreat, but Cangxi held his hand and stayed at the round table.

Seeing that Su Manshuang's expression was not good, Qingyuan softened his voice and said: "It's cool in the morning, let's go back", Su Manshuang glanced fiercely at the courtyard, and left the courtyard with Qingyuan.

The beauty outside the hospital is injured, and the hospital is happy.

Cheng Yue picked up the dishes and said with a smile: "My mouth is about to be nourished by the princess's craftsmanship, if I leave this regent palace in the future, where can I still eat such a good meal?" ”

Hearing this, Cangxi laughed twice. Fu Ci smiled and sandwiched another chopsticks for Cheng Yue, "Cheng Gongzi said with a smile, if you like to eat, you often come to the palace to eat." ”

Cheng Yue took a bite of food and said, "How can this work?" ”

"Why not?" Cangxi glanced at Fu Ci lovingly and then said, "If you like it, the door of my mansion will be open for you." ”

When Cangxi said this, Cheng Yue hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Cangxi pulled his lips and smiled, "Sit down and eat." ”

After Cheng Yue sat down, he took a few more bites of food, and Xiangluo served him another bowl of rice on the side.

"The prince sent Cang'er yesterday to say that he wants to take me to meet General Su today?" Cheng Yue asked.

Cangxi replied and said very seriously: "In the past few days, I have ordered Cang'er to find out the situation in the north clearly. ”

Hearing Cangxi talk about serious things, Cheng Yue put down the dishes and chopsticks again, Fu Ci wanted to avoid it, but Cangxi grabbed her wrist and said: "You are the brains of this king, this king has nothing to avoid from you, sit here." ”

Hearing this, Fu Ci didn't say anything about leaving, and sat next to Cangxi.

After Cang Xi glanced at Cang Er, Cang Er motioned for those standing in the courtyard to go out.

After only Cangxi, Fu Ci, Cheng Yue, Hongyu, and Cang'er were left in the courtyard, Cangxi continued: "The forces of Beifan are Zhou Ze's maternal uncle He Chu, and most of the magistrates here are his protégés. Over the years, He Chu and others have corrupted the law and defrauded the people here, and committed a lot of things. We can use these things to make trouble in the capital. ”

Hearing Cangxi say this, several people showed surprise on their faces.

"Have you thought about it?" Cheng Yue asked eagerly.

Cangxi nodded, and Cheng Yue smiled: "That's good, that's good." ”

Previously, Cheng Yue was worried that he would not be able to convince Cangxi and live up to Chen Qiushi's entrustment. Now it seems that Cangxi is an ambitious, courageous, and able to put himself in the right position.
