Chapter 245: Night Weiyang

On the night of May, there was already a bit of heat before the summer was approaching, and the sleepless people at night walked out of the house, chatting in the courtyard in the shade on the street, the women chatting about the rise and fall of vegetable prices in the vegetable market, chatting about whose children in the neighborhood were unproductive, the men chatting about the recent changes in the weather, and chatting about the most sensational court events now.

The people living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although they are as humble as ants, but they have never forgotten the court that is far away from them and close to them, they are convinced that living at the feet of the Son of Heaven is the grace of heaven, and they are convinced that their insignificant remarks can be used as a reference for those big people in the court at some point, because the emperor of Dahe loves the people like a son, who will not listen to the words of the people?

Because Ning Zhiyuan is afraid of the cold, the ventilation design of Huai Yuju is not good, and on such a night, a room of maids can not sleep, but fortunately, Du Yiyi usually does not restrain them, and they fall asleep at night and do not need to be served, they can't sleep They walked out of the yard, laughed and sat in the cool breeze corridor and chatted.

Du Yiyi has not fallen asleep, Qinglan's shadow has been emerging in front of her, Xu's mother and Bai Wei are serving on the side to hold the lamp for her, the night is already deep, and she has not been sleepy at all.

Because the man on the other side of the room is not here tonight.

As far as she knew, Ning Zhiyuan was now entertaining a guest in the backyard.

"It's so late!"

Receiving guests at night, she could certainly understand that this guest was definitely not an ordinary guest.

"Princess, rest!" Mother Xu pinched her wrist that shook the fan and shook it a little sore, Bai Wei saw this, and immediately took the fan over and then fanned Du Yiyi.

"I'll go for a walk outside, you guys can rest!"

The stuffy room is hot, and even the wind that comes out is hot.

Du Yiyi closed the book, got up and walked out of the house, Xu's mother is already old, she can't stay up at night, after forsythia got married, Xu's mother became close to Bai Wei, Xu's mother told Bai Wei a few words, and let her follow behind.

The courtyard was full of people who were lazy and leisurely basking in the sun, and where Du Yiyi walked by, there were immediately people who got up and saluted, in order to avoid these people so as not to make them tremble, Du Yiyi specially avoided those corridors and walked the path.

The people in the backyard were all sitting in the Jiuqu corridor, and Du Yiyi walked over and walked to the pavilion in the backyard.

It's not so much to breathe, what she wants to see more in her heart is Ning Zhiyuan.

The clever Bai Wei guessed her thoughts, and asked jokingly: "Princess, do you want the slave to find the prince?" ”

Du Yiyi is very good to her subordinates on weekdays, and these married maids will often talk and laugh with her, but in this matter with Ning Zhiyuan, Du Yiyi rarely talks to them, Bai Wei's joke makes her a little shy.

Seeing the two wine glasses on the stone table, she let Bai Wei sniff it.

"Both smell of wine!"

In the past, Ning Zhiyuan's guests were all here, and Changliu repeatedly advised Ning Zhiyuan not to drink alcohol on weekdays, and Du Yiyi always kept it in mind.

"Go and see, if the prince drinks wine, send him to Mr. Chang!"

Bai Wei lowered her head and held back a smile, thinking that the princess was obviously worried about the princess, but she didn't miss this face. Behind Ying Yingfu, Bai Wei left the pavilion.

Perhaps it was Bai Riqinglan's words that haunted her heart, and after waiting in the gazebo for a while, she walked to the courtyard with the lights on.

Qinglan's silence has always made her unguarded against her, and even has a little friendship for this only woman who stayed in the Rui Wang's Mansion and was called the second lady, if it weren't for Lu Xiangxue's reminder, she might always be in the dark, now that she thinks about it, the spy that Ning Zhiyuan suspected at the beginning should be her.

How many things did Qinglan do in a time that he didn't know? Now that she has the support of the emperor, what else will she do? She thought of what she had said outside Huaiyu's residence last winter.

Because of Qinglan's silence, there are few people everywhere in this courtyard except for delivering food, at first there were a few maids in this courtyard, but then all of them were sent away by Qinglan and only one Chang's mother was left, that night Chang's mother found herself in a hurry and took herself to see Ning Zhiyuan and Ziyue, it should also be her instructions! Du Yiyi thought to herself, and reached out to knock on the courtyard door.

The courtyard door is ajar, and the lights inside are bright and silent.

Du Yiyi thought for a while, reached out and pushed the door open.

Chang's mother stood in the yard, sitting on the bench, she knocked on the melon seeds and hummed a little song with Erlang's legs, and every time Erlang's legs moved, the melon seeds in her mouth would spit out a few pieces.

Behind her is Qinglan's house.

The lights in the room were a little dim.

"The slave has seen the princess!"

Chang's mother looked up angrily, and saw that the person who pushed the door open was actually Du Yiyi, so she immediately laughed in a panic.

"Qinglan is there?" Du Yiyi glanced at the room.

"The second lady is not here!" Mother Chang replied with a handkerchief wrapped in melon seeds in her hand.

"Where did you go?" Du Yiyi thought that she hadn't seen Qinglan for most of the circle in the house, how could she not be there at this time.

"Doesn't the princess know yet......" Mother Chang raised her eyes and squeezed her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Every time the second lady goes out, she will not explain to the slave and maid where she went!" Slaves and maids don't know! ”

Qinglan is often absent from the mansion, and only Ning Zhiyuan will know where he went.

But if there is no one, why is there a light in the house?

She had a very bad feeling, and her intuition told her that there was someone in the house, and it was a very direct intuition that she believed in her heart.

"I'll go in and take a look!" She asked tentatively, on such a day, if there is no one in the house, how can Chang's mother sit in the yard?

Mother Chang stretched out her hand to stop Du Yiyi, took a step back and stood in front of her and said, "This ............ Princess, the second lady is not here, it's not good! ”

"Nothing bad! Chang's mother is watching from behind! Du Yiyi stretched out her hand and pushed Chang's mother away and strode forward. Chang's mother raised her eyelids and glanced at the room, but she followed behind Du Yiyi silently and did not speak.

The door was closed, but it was not locked, Du Yiyi gently pushed, the door opened, and the hot air in the room blew in, which made Du Yiyi's bad premonition even stronger.

This is the hall, and Qinglan's bedroom is on the left-hand side.

The door of Qinglan's bedroom was closed, and a faint light came out through the crack in the door, and the silky light shone on the camel-colored blanket in front of the threshold, and some black spots on it that were charred by the charcoal fire could be seen.

Chang's mother looked a little flustered and a little proud.

Du Yiyi didn't think about it, and pushed the door open.

With a creak, the door was like the door of a century-old house, creaking like a hungry crow, the candlesticks on the table were lit with dim lights, and the windows of the house were wide open, cool and pleasant.

There was no one in the room, but she could see a pair of embroidered shoes and a pair of platform boots in front of the bed with the curtain drawn.

Embroidered shoes are women's things, platform boots are men's things, although there are no patterns on them, but she recognizes them at a glance, it should be said that she can guess who it will be at a glance.

In the Rui Palace, the only man who dares to climb onto the second lady's bed is the owner of this palace.

Seeing that Du Yiyi was stunned, Chang's mother hooked the corners of her mouth a little proudly, this time her wife's initiative was successful, and her face as a slave was also stained, and she wanted to come from the princess to the palace The situation of her status is declining, and the anger that has been brewing in Chang's mother's heart for a long time is intertwined with pride, making her withered old face colorful.

"Princess!" Mother Chang had no intention of admitting her mistake for her previous lies, and she was very mocking when she said this princess.

In the dim light, Du Yiyi's cheeks were pale and her brows were furrowed, but she didn't make a sound.

On the bed, I don't know if Ning Zhiyuan or Qinglan slept comfortably and turned over, the squirming sound made Du Yiyi's eyebrows high, and Qinglan's calm and calm demeanor flashed in front of her.

Although Qinglan is Ning Zhiyuan's second wife, Du Yiyi has never seen Ning Zhiyuan stay in Qinglan Courtyard since Qinglan entered the mansion, and the last time Ning Zhiyuan and Qinglan were in the bamboo forest, she also approved it, who would have expected that such a thing would be encountered by herself with her own eyes.

No wonder Qinglan is so calm.

Although her lips were pursed, her teeth kept chattering, and she could imagine what the two of them should look like behind the curtains.

"Princess!" Seeing Du Yiyi, who walked out of the house in a daze, Chang's mother lifted her skirt and followed it, and closed the door by the way.

When Chang's mother walked out of the hall, Du Yiyi's figure had long disappeared, Chang's mother sneered and closed the door, took out the handkerchief in her arms, sat down with a cold snort, humming her favorite song and knocking melon seeds. After this, the status of the second lady of her own family must be different, her second wife must be good looking, in her opinion, it is better than Du Yiyi ten times, if you don't fight, you will win, with the attitude of the emperor and Shen Ke now, who can say what the situation will be in the future?

It seems that I didn't follow the wrong person at the beginning! Thinking about it, Chang's mother lowered her head happily and chuckled.

Bai Wei looked around the backyard and didn't see Ning Zhiyuan, but she didn't even see Du Yiyi, and when she returned to Huaiyuju in a panic, she found that Du Yiyi had already come back to sleep.

Du Yiyi still didn't fall asleep, through the hollow holes in the screen, she could see the neat bedding on the empty bed opposite, she felt stupid, even if she wanted to turn the situation around, she shouldn't really be tempted, otherwise why would she be so depressed now? In just half a year, Ning Zhiyuan has already experienced so many women around him, even if he only lives to forty, how many wives will he have to experience in the future? Can she really take it?

"Bai Wei, prepare pen and ink for me!"

Bai Wei, who took over Xu's mother's vigil, looked at Du Yiyi who lifted the quilt for a moment in a daze, and immediately went to the study on the other side to get paper, ink and pen.

Du Yiyi sat on the table and wrote a letter with great effort, so that Bai Wei woke up Mother Xu and took her out of the palace.

"Princess! The prince may be in a hurry to go out, so don't worry! Bai Wei saw Du Yiyi's abnormality, in the past, if the prince did not return to the house, he would inevitably let Qin Huai come to pass the word, but now Qin Huai is gone.

"Say no more!" A nameless fire erupted in Du Yiyi's heart, and he lifted his foot on the leg of the table.

Bai Wei had never seen Du Yiyi make such a fire since she took over the work of Xu's mother's night vigil, and she panicked for a while and didn't know what to do.

"Get out! Let me be quiet! ”

Du Yiyi closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, got up and limped to the kang, looking at the kang where she had slept for so long, she called Bai Wei.

"Swap my futon with the bed's bedding and move this screen to the bed."

"Princess............" Bai Wei habitually wanted to ask, and when she saw Du Yiyi's eyes round and angry, she shrank her neck and closed her mouth.

The futon was quickly replaced, but this screen was made of agarwood and was very heavy, Bai Wei couldn't move it alone, and the next person was not there, and finally the screen didn't move, Du Yiyi moved from the north to the south, and Bai Wei guarded the outside of the house.

Changed positions, Du Yiyi was even more sleepy, tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, but still couldn't close her eyes.

Mother Xu quickly rushed back and saw Bai Wei outside the house, she didn't go in after serving Du Yiyi for nearly a year, but just comforted Bai Wei who was trembling and conscientious, and then went to call the maids who were enjoying the cool back to sleep.

The moon set and the sun rose, Du Yiyi, who had not slept all night, finally slept for a while at dawn, but was woken up by a sound of rustling.

Ning Zhiyuan, who saw the change in the layout of the house, did not speak, but the sound of his changing clothes still woke up Du Yiyi, who was sleeping sweetly in the bed that was originally his.

Neither of them mentioned last night's incident, Ning Zhiyuan went to the palace after breakfast, and Du Yiyi slept and returned to the cage to sleep until the third pole of the day.

When she was still groggy from sleep, she was woken up again by a sound outside the house.

It was Xu's mother who quarreled with Chang's mother.

Since Du Yiyi entered the mansion, the contradiction between the maid and the maid of the Rui Wangfu has accumulated, because of Qinglan's low profile, Chang's mother has been steadily suppressed by Xu's mother for half a year, but now the situation is different, with the support of the master, she came to Huaiyuju early in the morning to inquire about the fabric that should have been assigned to Qinglan Courtyard to make summer clothes, after Du Yiyi took over the internal affairs of Rui Wangfu, Xu's mother was also responsible for handling some affairs for her, just like the monthly money of the people in this mansion are all in charge of her, In previous years, the fabrics for summer clothes were sent out at this time, but because there were some problems with the supply of fabrics this year, it would be delayed for a few days.

"Even our princess is not in a hurry for you to be in a hurry, and there will be no shortage of you, besides, there is still a month in the summer, can I make summer clothes for you now?" Mother Xu is not at fault in Zhongzhong, and she is also justified in answering.

"Obviously, you are not doing things well, but I have never made such a mistake when I handled these things in previous years!" Chang's mother has a red mouth and white teeth, sharp teeth, and her hands are on her waist to push the words back.

"What do we mean by being disadvantaged! Can you blame me for this? Mother Xu took a team of maidservants behind, and confronted Mother Chang with her head held high.

Du Yiyi, who didn't sleep all night last night, was already in a state of poor spirits, and the quarrel between the two of them on the left and right could make her annoyed, so she directly asked Xu's mother to drive Chang's mother out and close the door.

Chang's mother said at the door for a long time, but because Du Yiyi was the princess, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only leave after waiting for someone to come out for a long time.

At noon, Ning Zhiyuan didn't come back to eat, and Du Yiyi, who was weak, ate some hastily and lay down on the bed.

If it weren't for Xu's mother entering the house and finding Du Yiyi's cheeks flushed and short of breath, this sleep would probably have to sleep until night.

Chang Liu was pulled by the nervous Bai Wei to Huaiyuju to prescribe a fever reducer for Du Yiyi, and Forsythia found Qin Huai and asked him to find Ning Zhiyuan.

When Ning Zhiyuan came back, it was also nearly dusk.

As soon as Ning Zhiyuan entered the door, Shui Ping rushed up to tell Du Yiyi's condition, Du Yiyi didn't see the fever for half a day, and Chang Liu had already made the subordinates aggravate the amount of medicine.

Du Yiyi, who was delirious, muttered something in her mouth, and the high fever and crimson had spread from her forehead to her neck, and Bai Wei had been sitting on the edge of the bed and taking care of it.

Seeing that Ning Zhiyuan came back, Bai Wei gave up the place and walked out of the house with all the maidservants, Du Yiyi was wrapped in a quilt, and her forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and when he took the white cotton towel from Bai Wei's hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, the weak Du Yiyi pushed his hand away.

Although he was a little delirious, Ning Zhiyuan's feeling Du Yiyi could feel it.

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking of what happened last night, and probably understood why Du Yiyi had a cold attitude towards him this morning.

"Last night!" He grabbed her waving hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I'm sorry! I didn't know it wasn't you! ”

Du Yiyi, who was in a semi-coma, couldn't hear his explanation, at this time she only felt hot as if she was in a furnace, and she wanted to take off her clothes but was weak.

Chang Liu knocked on the door and walked in with the medicine boy with the potion.

"The princess's illness is just infected with wind and cold and the upper body of fire, there is no big problem!" Chang Liu asked the medicine boy to bring the decoction to Ning Zhiyuan.

"Of course it's okay to have you there!" Ning Zhiyuan stirred the steaming decoction with a spoon and blew gently towards the medicine bowl.

"Last night............" Chang Liu and Ning Zhiyuan squeezed their eyes and said, "You can't blame Qinglan for this matter, who made you drink instead of listening to my advice." ”

Chang Liu came to intercede for Qinglan.

Ning Zhiyuan was speechless, and fed the decoction that had been blown to the right temperature into Du Yiyi's mouth.

"Qinglan has done so many things for you over the years, since you married her, you must be responsible for the rest of her life! Yesterday, I heard that the princess saw Qinglan, and the two had some unpleasantness, since you are their husband, you can't take care of one thing or the other! ”

Chang Liu is still interceding for Qinglan.

"I know! Don't mention it! ”

Ning Zhiyuan gently leaned over and wiped the decoction from the corner of her mouth, and repeated the action of feeding the medicine.

"Then I'll go first! After drinking this bowl of medicine, you should be fine, if the fever does not go away, just let people call me! “

Ning Zhiyuan nodded, feeding the medicine without distraction, Chang Liu waved to the medicine boy silently, and left Huaiyu Ju with the medicine boy.
