010 Bring a gift
At night, the sky is sparse with a few white clouds, a crescent moon that releases a faint light, and a few stars that hide behind thin clouds.
After nightfall, Chengwang's Mansion has always been quiet, and at this time, Wu Zhen is sitting in the pavilion, bored.
"Your Highness."
"What's the news in the palace?"
Knowing that it was Li Qinlin, Wu Zhen didn't mean to be too polite, and he didn't even stay on her.
Wu Zhen's indifference made Li Qinlin feel very uncomfortable, but Li Qinlin knew that he didn't have the ability to make Wu Zhen addicted.
"Sister came with news that Du Yao seems to have a love for Wu Epidemic."
Li Qinlin paid special attention to Wu Zhen's expression when she said this, she felt that Wu Zhen had unusual thoughts about Du Yao, but she knew better that except for Fang Qingxi, any woman was not so important to Wu Zhen.
"What's so strange about that, the charm of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unmatched."
"Your Highness is not afraid of ......"
"Afraid of what? The more she has a love for Wu Epidemic, the more she will hate herself in her heart, her secret is still in the hands of this king, do you think she is a reckless person? ”
"The concubine thinks that Du Yao is not the kind of girl who values fame and fortune, why does she want to pretend to be the third princess of Qiyan Kingdom?"
"Some people don't take fame and fortune seriously, but that doesn't mean they don't have a thirst for power. Du Yao didn't have this thought, didn't this king help her in the back? And she has the token left by the Empress Dowager of Qi Yanguo in her hand, which is not difficult to show that she also has a push behind her. ”
"Your Highness isn't worried about the pusher hiding behind the back?"
"If that pusher had that ability, he wouldn't have sent Du Yao to this king."
From the beginning when Du Yao deliberately approached Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen sensed that something was wrong with Du Yao, and he sent Qin Xiao to inquire in many ways to learn Du Yao's ultimate goal, at that time, he also needed the help of Qi Yanguo, and Du Yao was his best choice.
"Since Du Yao is not dedicated to doing things for His Highness, it is better for His Highness to be careful."
"This king is cooperating with her, cooperation is a win-win situation, she knows what to do and what not to do."
"I hope so."
After listening to Wu Zhen's words, Li Qinlin had less of his previous worries, as long as Wu Zhen was fine, everything would be fine.
"Qin Lin, these days, you find a time to bring some gifts to visit our crown princess, I think she is bored in the prince's mansion, you just go to accompany her."
"Yes."
Li Qinlin understood the meaning of Wu Zhen's words, and he also knew what he should do.
"It's late, this king is going to rest."
With that, Wu Zhen got up from the stool and wanted to go back to the house. Li Qinlin followed behind him and said softly.
"The concubine serves you to rest."
Early the next morning, Li Qinlin instructed his subordinates to prepare several gifts, and Li Qinlin came to the prince's mansion with the gifts.
At this time, Du Yao was embroidering a cloak inside and outside, and learned from Su Jin that Li Qinlin was coming to visit, so Du Yao stopped what he was doing and hurriedly asked Su Jin to invite Li Qinlin in.
Today's Li Qinlin is wearing a red pomegranate dress, a touch of cinnabar between her eyebrows makes people shine, her black hair is combed into a fashionable bun, and the tortoiseshell earrings in her ears are particularly chic.
"Princess Cheng is here, Su Jin quickly brought the tea brewed in the palace to Princess Cheng."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Su Jin just glanced at his master, turned around and left the inner room to go to the outer room.
After Su Jin left, Li Qinlin didn't mean to sit down, but walked to Du Yao's side and looked at the cloak on the small machine.
"Looks like you're still quite attentive to him now."
"He's my husband, wouldn't it be wrong if I didn't do something?"
"The princess's sharp teeth and mouth are not comparable, His Royal Highness asked Qin Lin to bring a message to the princess, His Royal Highness hopes that the princess can gain the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible."
"You help the palace convey to His Royal Highness the King, and the palace is free and measured."
Li Qinlin was about to continue talking, but unexpectedly, the footsteps not far away were getting closer and closer, so close that Li Qinlin had to try to stay normal and had no topic.
When Su Jin came in, she noticed the slightly quiet atmosphere in the room, and she wanted to ask Du Yao what happened when she was away, but she knew very well that her master would not tell her this, and she couldn't say anything else when she saw this.
"Princess Cheng, this is the mountain Mingyi cooked by my princess herself, you can taste it."
Suddenly, when she heard the words Gao Shan Mingyi, Li Qinlin's eyes lit up, and she seemed to remember that Fang Qingxi had also cooked Gao Shan Mingyi in the National Teacher's Mansion many years ago.
took the tea cup handed by Su Jin, lifted the lid of the cup, the pungent fragrance of tea blew in her face, and took a sip of warm tea flowing down her throat to all parts of her body, this feeling was something she had never felt before.
"This tea is really good."
"If Princess Cheng likes it, take some back, there is still a lot of tea here in the palace."
"Then the concubine is welcome, this is a gift from the concubine to the princess, don't dislike the lightness of the gift."
"His Royal Highness King Cheng's monthly salary is not as much as that of His Royal Highness the Prince, this palace understands, and since ancient times, there have been cloud rites and light affection, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not dislike it."
Du Yao's words had ulterior motives, Li Qinlin could hear that she was counting Wu Zhen and herself around the bend, but she couldn't say anything because of her identity.
"Your Majesty has always advocated that all royal palaces be diligent and thrifty, and the concubines, as the concubines of the kings, should listen to Your Majesty's teachings."
"Father's proposition is good, and there is no extravagance and waste in this palace, isn't it a drunken gold fan?"
"What Niangniang said is that the concubine has been taught."
Seeing Li Qinlin bowing to herself, Du Yao was in a good mood, Li Qinlin has always been a little preachy to her for so long, although she has never taken what Li Qinlin said as a thing, but she will not be able to stand it after a long time, this time Quan Dang gave her a small lesson.
"Su Jin, you go and pack some alpine songs, remember to wrap them in a gift box."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Su Jin did not dare to slack off, and turned around and walked out of the outer room.
After Su Jin left, Li Qinlin's voice once again resounded in Du Yao's ears.
"The princess admires this play."
"Why can't this palace understand the words of Princess Cheng?"
"Why does the princess knowingly ask?"
"Princess Cheng, you can take this tea back, I think His Royal Highness King Cheng will also like this tea."
Seeing that Su Jin had packed the tea, Li Qinlin took the gift box with a smile and said with a smile:
"The concubine thanked the mother, and the concubine went back before the hour was early."
"Su Jin, send the princess for the palace."
"Yes."
In the evening, Du Yao studied medical books as usual.
Su Jin brought a bowl of longan lotus seed porridge and put it on the small machine next to Du Yao, seeing that Du Yao was immersed in medical books, Su Jin was not easy to disturb.
When Wu Yao came to Du Yao's room, he happened to see the scene of Du Yao studying medical books seriously, because Du Yao read the book seriously and didn't realize that Wu Yao came to the inner and outer rooms, and Su Jin next to Du Yao didn't dare to speak lightly under Wu Yao's signal.
In this way, Wu Yi stood not far from Du Yao, with a happy smile on his face.
"Su Jin, bring me my medicine."
At this time, Du Yao still didn't notice the existence of Wu Plague, and when Su Jin didn't move for a long time, Du Yao raised his head and noticed the existence of Wu Plague.
"Your Highness, why didn't you tell your concubine when you came?"
Du Yao put his medical skills on the small machine, and looked at Su Jin with a reproachful face, and Su Jin hurriedly replied when he saw this:
"Princess ......"
"I didn't let her say it."
Knowing that it was Wu Bao's meaning, Du Yao's complexion eased slightly.
"Since Your Highness is here, sit down. Su Jin, brew the tea sent by the imperial brother from Qiyan Kingdom to His Royal Highness. ”
"Yes."
Su Jin was ordered to leave in a hurry, and Wu Qi came to Du Yao and sat down, but his thoughts were not on Du Yao.
"Yao'er, tomorrow you will enter the palace to visit the eldest sister of the emperor on my behalf, and bring some tea from the country of Qi Yan by the way."
"Okay."
"Don't you ask me why?"
"Why ask? His Royal Highness even knows that the eldest sister likes to drink the tea of Qi Yanguo, and the imperial brother also instructed the concubine to give some to the eldest sister. ”
"It seems that the royal brother ...... to the eldest sister of the emperor"
"Your Highness, there are some things that you still don't want to say, come and taste this tea."
Saying that, Du Yao took the tea cup from Su Jin's hand and handed it directly to Wu Bao's mouth.
"What? You are planning to feed the tea directly into my mouth? ”
"Your Highness just has this meaning, and the concubines don't have that mind."
After saying that, Du Yao put the teacup on the small machine, turned around and returned to the position where he was sitting, and put the medical skills in his hand and looked at it.
Seeing Du Yao's temper, Wu Yao smiled and said nothing, and said after taking a sip of tea.
"I've already told my father, I'll take you back to the country of Qiyan in a few days, and take a look at the scenery along the way."
"Your Majesty agreed?"
"Father is still thinking about the recipe in your hand, and he will agree to my request."
"It seems that the concubine's prescription will have to be handed over sooner or later."
"Do you want to hand it over?"
Hearing the strangeness in Wu Bao's words, Du Yao looked up at him.
"What does Your Highness think?"
Du Yao's eyes were as clear as ever, and that clarity made Wu Yao's heart tighten, and his heart should not speculate on Du Yao's mind for no reason.
"Do what you want, and I'll do everything."
"Does Your Highness want your concubine to feel this? The concubine is going to take medicine, is Your Highness going to stay here for the night tonight? The concubine heard that the concubine couldn't sleep at night in the past few days, so His Royal Highness didn't go to visit? ”
"Do you look like you're trying to drive me away?"
"What does Your Highness think? If His Royal Highness can't get the rain and dew even, presumably this prince's mansion will not be peaceful in the future. ”
"What do you mean......"
Seeing Wu Bao looking at him with ulterior motives, Du Yao just smiled, and then said:
"Your Highness has seen the concubine drink the medicine and leave, okay?"
This is the first time Du Yao has been coquettish with Wu Bao, looking at Du Yao's expectant eyes, Wu Yao's heart was melted.
"Since you said so, I can't rely on you anymore, I'm not here tonight, remember to cover the quilt."
"Got it."
Wu Baoyan got up and planned to leave, but when he passed by Su Jin's side, he didn't forget to tell Su Jin.
"Your princess will sleep better than usual tonight, remember to wake her up earlier tomorrow, don't delay the time to enter the palace."
"Yes."
When Wu Bao said this, Du Yao's face changed slightly. These days, Wu Bao lives with her and has not yet made a conjugal ceremony with her, but she will inevitably be afraid of it at night, so that she can't sleep at night. She didn't know that Wu Bao had already seen her careful thoughts in her eyes, and at the same time kept them in her heart.
