Chapter Twenty-Three: See Through
First, Wuyue's carrier pigeon will not fly thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River in Dashun.
Second, Wu Fengtian is Wu Yue's younger brother, and he doesn't have to pretend to be with Wu Yue at all.
At this time, seeing Wu Fengtian's eyes showing no less nervousness and concern than his own, Lingxi understood what the problem was. “
Sure that Ye Tingfeng was fine, Wu Fengtian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After gently putting Ye Tingfeng's hand back into the gauze tent, he stood up and said respectfully to Lingxi, "Mrs. Ye, Fifth Miss's illness is fine, as long as she takes care of it for a few more days, she can be cured." ”
"Wu Gongzi is tired." Lingxi pointed to the Taishi chair beside him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Please take a seat." ”
"Don't get tired." Wu Fengtian thanked him, walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, but an inexplicable nervousness rose in his heart.
The seemingly gentle woman in front of him always gave him an invisible pressure. The slightly sharp gaze seemed to have penetrating power, which made Wu Fengtian feel for a moment that he seemed to be seen through the soul by the person in front of him.
"Wu Gongzi takes care of the little girl all the way, how can he not be tired." Lingxi looked at Wu Fengtian's dodging eyes, and raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Suddenly, Lingxi Zhengse asked, "Does Feng'er know?" ”
Wu Fengtian was shocked in his heart, and his expression was instantly flustered.
"Wu Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" Cruelty flashed in Lingxi's eyes.
The panic in Wu Fengtian's eyes turned into embarrassment, and his reaction was too nervous. After stabilizing his mind, Wu Fengtian asked back worriedly, "I didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Ye's words, and asked Mrs. Ye to make it clear." ”
"Does she know Feng'er's physical condition?" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Lingxi received all the thoughts flowing in Wu Fengtian's eyes.
"Miss Five's body is very good, she knows it." Wu Fengtian stood up, hugged his fist at Lingxi, and said, "Mrs. Ye, it's not early, I'll go back next and give Miss Fifth a prescription, just in case." ”
After saying that, Wu Fengtian fled in the wilderness.
Lotus Ye chuckled, rubbed Lingxi's shoulders, and said, "Madam, Wu Gongzi seems to be afraid of you?" ”
"I'm scared." Lingxi looked back at the lotus leaf and asked with a smile, "Lotus leaf, am I so scary?" ”
Lotus Ye shook his head and replied, "It's not scary." ”
"That's it." Lingxi raised his eyebrows, "He's afraid of me, that's because he has a ghost in his heart." ”
Ye Tingfeng lay on the bed, her baby pink bedclothes soaked with hot sweat.
In the dream, there were a pair of gentle big hands holding her lower abdomen, and a familiar voice chuckled, "Feng'er, he's kicking me, he's moving." ”
Ye Tingfeng was obviously very happy in his heart, but the words he said were sad, "Don't you want him?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Ye Tingfeng woke up suddenly.
The eye was sitting on the bed, caressing her lower abdomen, with a soft smile on her face.
It's already dawn.
Occasionally, a birdsong can be heard outside the window, and the sunlight falls on the exquisitely carved mahogany furniture unique to Jiangnan, emitting a glittering light.
After watching it for a while, Ye Tingfeng smiled, took Lingxi's hand, and said softly, "It's so good, mother, it's not a dream." I always thought it was a dream, but it wasn't a dream......"
"It's not a dream." Lingxi turned his head, and the beads on his bun trembled slightly. She said to Lotus Leaf and Qinqing, "Wait for Miss Fifth to freshen up." ”
Wen Qing couldn't understand Lingxi's words, but she saw the lotus leaf step forward with a silver basin full of water, and immediately followed with a fine cotton handkerchief.
Lingxi helped Ye Tingfeng sit up, pulled Ye Tingfeng's sweaty green silk to the back of his head, and said with a smile, "Feng'er, do you feel better now?" ”
Ye Tingfeng took a deep breath, shook his head lightly, and smiled at Lingxi, "Mother, it's much better." ”
In the main hall, Li Lingyi, dressed in dark blue tightsuit, was sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea, and the blue gem on the brocade belt around his waist was shining in the sun.
After swallowing the fragrant tea in his mouth, he raised his eyebrows and saw Li Qingyan and Li Linghan playing in the corridor outside the door.
Li Qingyan was wearing a light purple Luo skirt with a waist, and she looked a little older than her actual age. The little white face is like jade, and the eyes are like a pair of black grapes, shining in the sun.
Li Linghan wore a blue-blue robe, with a red tassel on his head, and his small face looked seven points similar to Li Qingyan's, and the two thick sword eyebrows added five points of masculinity to him.
Li Qingyan's tender white hands were placed on top with their palms down, and Li Linghan's small hands were placed on them with their palms upward.
Li Qingyan's hands fell down, wanting to pat Li Linghan's hand. Li Linghan turned his hand over very quickly and lightly hit the back of Li Qingyan's hand.
Several times in a row, Li Qingyan was beaten by Li Linghan.
Suddenly, Li Qingyan's mouth froze, and she turned to Li Lingyi and said with tears in her eyes, "Fifth brother, tenth brother bullying Ruyi." ”
Li Linghan frowned, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Li Qingyan's eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Ruyi, didn't you say that it's fun and don't cry?" ”
"But you hit it too much!" Li Qingyan turned around and complained to Li Linghan, "Aren't your hands hurting?" ”
Li Linghan looked down at his hand, under the sun, the tiger's mouth was slightly red, and the four fingers of his right hand were all covered with a thin layer of calluses.
Although he was only ten years old, Lingxi had already invited a master to do his studies and practice kung fu, completely according to the specifications of a prince.
Li Qingyan has always been pampered, except for reading poetry and books, she has never even touched the female red, and her little hands are a little tender.
Seeing that the back of Li Qingyan's hand was slightly red, Li Linghan raised his hand to rub her hair, stretched out his hand and said slightly apologetically, "It's so wishful, don't be wronged, can't the tenth brother let you fight?" ”
"Don't!" Li Qingyan put her hands behind her back, pouting her cherry red mouth and continuing to be aggrieved, "I beat you, but it's still me who hurts." ”
Li Lingyi walked up to the two of them, raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out a foot-long twig from behind his back and handed it over, and smiled at Li Qingyan, "Ruyi, take this to beat your tenth brother." ”
Li Qingyan took the branch and smiled, her eyes bent into a crescent moon on the horizon. Li Linghan screamed strangely and said loudly to Li Lingyi, "Fifth brother, you help Ruyi bully me!" ”
Saying that, she ran to the yard, Li Qingyan held a small branch, giggled and chased out.
"Ruyi is the youngest princess, you have to let her go."
"Fifth brother, I'm only an hour older than her, only an hour."
Li Qingyan pounced on Li Linghan, who was the same height as herself, and laughed, "Tenth brother, or, Ruyi will be a sister, and you will be a younger brother." ”
"Is there a difference?" Li Linghan steadied Li Qingyan's body and said with a smile, "If I am a younger brother, will the fifth brother and the fifth sister help me?" ”
"I won't help." Ye Tingfeng, who walked out of the main hall with Wen Qing's hand, looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were hugging each other and answered with a smile.
Ye Tingfeng changed into a light green Luo skirt, and according to Lingxi's meaning, she put the girl's hair back into a bun. Because she was pregnant, she didn't wear any heavy hair accessories, but only a few lily-style fluffy beads.
"Fifth Emperor Sister." Li Qingyan let go of Li Linghan, raised the branch in her hand and ran towards Ye Tingfeng.
"Ruyi," Lingxi walked out from behind Ye Tingfeng and elongated his voice, "Bullying your tenth brother again!" ”
Lingxi knew his little daughter too well, and she was completely spoiled.
Li Qingyan paused, immediately threw the branch in her hand into the jasmine bush on the side, and muttered, "Mother, this is given to Ruyi by the fifth brother, not by Ruyi himself." ”
Li Linghan walked to Lingxi's side, and gave Lingxi a standard palace salute like a little adult, and said, "Niang Shengming!" ”
Listening to Feng at night, he couldn't help but smile, smiling like a flower.
"Fifth sister, are you better?" Li Lingyi greeted Ye Tingfeng, held Ye Tingfeng's hand and let her sit on the wooden bench in the corridor.
"It's much better," Ye Tingfeng raised his head, looked at Li Lingyi and smiled, "I heard that my mother said that you went to the city to get medicine last night......
"It's nothing." Li Lingyi turned around and helped Lingxi sit down again, and said to Lingxi, "Mother, the fifth sister's body is inconvenient now, and it is not possible to have a doctor with high medical skills." ”
"Hmm." Lingxi sat down and looked up at Li Lingyi and asked, "What do you think?" ”
There is a Dong Langzhong in Yefuzhong, who is very good at treating typhoid fever, but if he takes care of pregnant women, he is a layman.
"I can't believe the doctor outside, but if you say that the imperial doctor is invited to the house, you will save a lot of money." After Li Lingyi pondered for a while, he said to Lingxi, "Why don't you go to King Yi's Mansion with your younger brothers and sisters and your fifth sister?" ”
Li Lingyi grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he couldn't put the medical skills of those doctors outside the palace into his eyes. Ye Tingfeng's body needs to be well recuperated, and it is also a big difficulty when he gives birth in the future, he wants to take Ye Tingfeng to his own mansion, and there is a special house doctor in his palace to facilitate the nearby care.
"This trip is thousands of miles away, but I'm afraid that your fifth sister will give birth before she arrives in your fiefdom." Lingxi smiled lightly.
"Then ......," Li Lingyi paused, and then said, "Then I can only go out and invite a doctor with transcendent medical skills to return home." I'll go to Bian Zhou City in a while, and ask the Ye family to see if there is a miracle doctor in the city......"
Lingxi set his eyes on Ye Tingfeng's body, and laughed softly, "Don't be in a hurry......"
Xiao Dezi came in from outside, saluted Lingxi, and said, "Queen Mother, Wu Gongzi and Miss Xie are here." ”
Lotus Ye stood on the side and coughed lightly.
Xiao Dezi was startled, and immediately twitched his small mouth, and said again, "Madam, Wu Gongzi and Miss Xie are here." ”
Lotus Ye twisted Xiao Dezi lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "If I can't control your mouth anymore, let Madame send you back to the palace." ”
Xiao Dezi immediately begged for him, although he was a eunuch, he couldn't marry a wife and have children when he left the palace. But who doesn't want to live freely, a comfortable day outside the palace is better than being scared in the palace.
In a moment, Wu Fengtian and Xie Ruyu had already been brought into the Yingxue Pavilion.
Wu Fengtian looked up and saw Li Qingyan playing with Li Linghan in the jasmine bush. Lingxi and Ye Tingfeng sat in the corridor, Li Lingyi stood aside, and the family was smiling happily.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Tingfeng, and when he saw that Ye Tingfeng, who had changed into a women's bun, his face was much better than before. The eyes are smiling, and even the bottom of the eyes is smiling.
Ye Tingfeng looked back and saw Wu Fengtian, and the smile on his face was like a warm sun.
Wu Fengtian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Xie Ruyu didn't know the language of Dashun, and at this time, she followed behind Wu Fengtian, relying on Litmus to translate for her.
Suddenly, she saw Li Qingyan, who looked like a little fairy, holding up the butterfly in her hand, laughing and running towards Ye Tingfeng, shouting something in her mouth.
"What is she talking about?" Xie Ruyu asked.
Litmus raised her eyebrows and replied, "The little lady is shouting to the master, 'Fifth Emperor Sister'." ”“
Xie Ruyu's eyes widened, and she looked at Shi Rui and asked in surprise, "Emperor, Imperial Sister?" ”
Shi Rui nodded and replied affirmatively, "That's right, the prince yesterday was also calling the master Fifth Emperor Sister." ”
Xie Ruyu raised her hand and rubbed her face, and her heart slowly cleared. No wonder as soon as she entered the Ye Mansion, she felt that this family had big rules, and he was a member of the royal family at all.
She didn't understand why the nobles who were supposed to be in the palace appeared in this mountain countryside.
Wu Fengtian walked in front of Lingxi, first saluted, and then naturally took Ye Tingfeng's hand and diagnosed Ye Tingfeng's pulse.
Li Lingyi's eyes tightened, and his expression changed slightly.
Ye Tingfeng was escorted back by Wu Fengtian all the way, and he should be grateful to Wu Fengtian. But after all, men and women are not close, how can Wu Fengtian go to pull Ye Tingfeng's hand in front of everyone.
Ye Tingfeng is accustomed to this, and there are many inconveniences along the way, and some etiquette that should be thrown and should not be thrown is thrown.
Lingxi smiled lightly and said nothing, as if he hadn't seen Wu Fengtianyue's movements.
There is Wu Fengtian in the Ye Mansion, and he also went out to ask for a doctor with excellent medical skills. No matter how good a doctor is, he can't be as good as a person who takes care of her daughter in his heart.
So Wu Fengtian didn't say when he would leave, and Lingxi didn't ask, whatever he wanted to stay, he wanted to stay as long as he wanted.
As for whether the two people can come together in the end, Lingxi has a wait-and-see attitude.
If the two tie the knot, she will not say a word, but will happily marry her daughter. But if she heard Feng's heart unwillingly, she wouldn't see Wu Fengtian become an obstacle to her daughter's pursuit of happiness.
Wu Fengtian and Xie Ruyu are guests from afar, so naturally they should not be neglected. Because it was inconvenient to go out with her pregnancy at night, she took Wu Fengtian and Xie Ruyu out of the house to hang out, and the matter of being a landlord fell on Li Lingyi.
On July 26 of the fourth year of Yongning, after breakfast, Li Lingyi took Wu Fengtian, Xie Ruyu, Li Qingyan and Li Linghan out of the house to play.
Because Xie Ruyu didn't understand Da Shun, he also brought litmus on his side.
Except for Wu Fengtian, who is a little older, the rest of the people are all children. One game is a day, if it weren't for Wu Fengtian pointing to the sunset setting on the horizon, Xie Ruyu would still be clamoring for Li Lingyi to take him to the night market in Bian Zhou City to play.
Wu Fengtian followed Li Lingyi out for two days, and after shopping through all the prescriptions in Bian Zhou City, he returned to Yefu and stopped going out after grabbing a few medicines.
Thus, the five-person walk became a four-person walk.
After two more days of wandering, Li Linghan and Li Qingyan got tired of playing, so they stopped following. It's hot and chaotic to go out, it's better to play with paper kites in the Ye Mansion.
So, the foursome became a twosome.
Xie Ruyu first came to Dashun and was interested in the streets and alleys of Jiangnan. Li Lingyi saw that she was having fun, so he let her temperament be.
In a flash, it has been more than ten days since Ye Tingfeng returned to Ye Mansion, her belly has grown again, and her pregnancy is already seven months away.
Don't talk about walking around every day, even if you just sit and breathe, it won't be smooth. In addition, the weather in Jiangnan is hot and humid, and I sweat all day long.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of cold jade sand in the Ye Mansion, and Ling Xi ordered people to put the cold jade sand in two huge enamel blue and white fish tanks and put them in Luoxi Xuan to relieve the heat of the night listening maple.
Cold jade sand is a specialty of the snow country and the snow mountain. It is as white as jade and as cold as ice, so it is thrown into the fire to burn, and it is still cold after taking it out.
The cold jade sand in the Ye Mansion was all collected by Princess Allure from Yixue Mountain, and then transported to Jiangnan through the Ye family's caravan.
Not to mention the beautiful gold, silver and jade artifacts in Ye Mansion, if you sell them alone, you can fill half of Dashun's treasury.
Listening to the life of Kaede at night, it was completely quiet. Except for chatting with Lingxi, watching Li Linghan and Li Qingyan joking in front of him, there was nothing else to do.
It's just that when no one is around, she will feel empty in her heart.
Occasionally, he took out the willow leaf concentric purse brought out of the Great Moon Palace, and looked at the crystal clear phoenix pendant and a knot with no skill at all in a daze.
She set fire to the Fengyang Palace, and put the string of jade bracelets that Emperor Jianning had polished for her on the wrist of a palace maid.
She wanted to throw everything in her hand into the fire, completely breaking her thoughts.
But in the end, she lost the courage to throw what she was holding.
Midnight dreamed back, she was reluctant to give up on the dream she once had, and her heart was broken.
On the fifth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi received a will from the palace.
Emperor Yongning summoned him to the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet.
Emperor Yongning's will went directly to the Ye Mansion.
He clearly knew that Li Lingyi was not in the fiefdom, and he knew that Li Lingyi was above the Lingxi Ye Mansion.
There are too many meanings in this, which makes Li Lingyi feel quite uncomfortable.
He is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything, and he knows a little about the current emperor, that is, his own emperor's thoughts on his own mother......
But he is the king, he is the king, except for the order to go on the road, he has no room for resistance.
Before Li Lingyi left, Lingxi wrote a letter and asked Li Lingyi to bring it to Emperor Yongning.
The things mentioned above are related to listening to the maple at night.
Many years ago, Emperor Yongning had promised her to listen to Feng at night and not get along, but in the midst of the mistakes, Ye Tingfeng still married Da Yue.
Regardless of the process, the important thing is that the night is back. She wanted to discuss it with Emperor Yongning, so she asked Princess Yan to live forever in Qingxin Pavilion in the name of praying for the blessing of the country.
Wait until when you listen to Feng in the night, and you have someone who wants to live with you for a lifetime, and then make plans.
When Lingxi handed over the letter to Li Lingyi, he didn't add an envelope, but unfolded it and handed it over.
My children have grown up, and there are some things that should not cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
On the fifth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi set off from Yefu with the guards and went straight to the capital.
After Li Lingyi left, Yefu was much quieter.
Xie Ruyu, who couldn't go out all day long, had a new skill, following litmus and listening to Feng at night.
When Wu Fengtian learned about it, he smiled and quipped Xie Ruyu, "What, do you still want to stay for a long time?" ”
Xie Ruyu shrugged his shoulders and retorted to Wu Fengtian, "If you take me back now, I won't learn." But if you don't leave, litmus can't always follow me, I always have to talk to the maids, otherwise I won't even be able to eat the tea. ”
Wu Fengtian shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled without saying a word.
