011 People go tea cooling
Under Wu Bao's repeated instructions, Du Yao and Su Jin got into a carriage and went to the palace.
Du Yao is still a little resistant to entering the palace, Du Yao is reluctant to see Wu Man, not only because of the incomprehensible relationship between Wu Man and Jun Qianmo, but more importantly, Du Yao feels that Wu Man has too many unpredictable thoughts in this woman, and she is cautious in the face of such a woman.
Su Jin in the car noticed Du Yao's expression, and she could naturally feel Du Yao's unavoidable distress.
"If the princess doesn't want to go and see the eldest princess, the princess can send someone to send a gift."
Su Jin's proposal caused Du Yao to shake his head for a while.
"It's not that you didn't understand the meaning of His Highness's words last night, Your Highness just hopes that the relationship between this palace and Wu Man can be better."
"Did Your Highness notice something?"
"With his ability, how can this palace hide from him easily? He is minding Wu Man and the imperial brother at the beginning, and the same is true of this palace. Wu Man thinks of the imperial brother every time she sees this palace, and when she thinks of all the harm that the imperial brother did to her back then, how can she be honest with this palace? ”
Jun Qianmo's damage to Wu Man is irreparable, and Du Yao agrees very much with this.
"And what is the princess going to do?"
"Just do what you want, the royal brother has her in his heart, and this palace, as a sister, naturally wants to help him."
"The princess is kind and willing to wade into this troubled water."
For Du Yao's kind behavior, Su Jin was deeply worried, Wu Man's methods should not be underestimated, and she was very worried that her princess would one day fall for Wu Man's scheme.
"There is already a share of this palace in this troubled water, so why is it so bad?"
If it weren't for the marriage between Du Yao and Wu Plague that once again connected Wu Man and Jun Qianmo, the two of them would only miss silently.
Du Yao always felt that she owed Jun Qianmo a favor, she wanted to help Jun Qianmo with this, and wanted to keep the people who loved each other from separating.
Although she didn't know whether Wu Man loved or hated Jun Qianmo more, she believed that Wu Man still had feelings for Jun Qianmo.
Seeing that Du Yao was so stubborn, Su Jin didn't want to say much.
"Your Royal Highness ordered Xiao Guan's family to inform the slave maid of the items she was going to travel this morning, and I think that His Royal Highness will take the princess back to China in the near future."
"You and your senior sister are preparing the things you want to use when you go out, and you stay in the house when you go out this time, and the palace has something to hand over to you."
"Yes."
……
The carriage traveled all the way, and after a while, it came to the gate of the Imperial Palace.
After the identity of the guard, the carriage of the prince's mansion went smoothly.
Under the guidance of the maid, Du Yao and Su Jin came to Wu Man's dormitory, and as soon as they entered the main hall, Du Yao saw Wu Man sitting on a chair and correcting the affairs of the harem.
"The courtiers have seen the emperor's eldest sister."
After saluting Wu Man, Du Yao looked up at Wu Man. At this time, Wu Man continued to look at the excerpt, and didn't seem to pay attention to her.
Du Yao, who had long expected to be indifferent, was not disappointed, but was pleased with what she expected, at least she could guess a little bit of Wu Man's thoughts.
"It's all my own family, why be so formal, sit down. Liufu, tea. ”
"Yes."
Seeing that Liu Fu beside Wu Man personally served tea for herself, Du Yao said embarrassedly.
"Sister Xie Huang's eldest sister is hospitality."
"It's all a family that doesn't have so many rules, these days are your little two newlywed Yan'er, that kid is willing to let you come to see me."
Putting down the pen, Wu Man looked up at Du Yao, and saw Du Yao's shyness look, and she was much less worried before.
Today's Du Yao is dressed as plain and elegant as usual, but her complexion is much better.
"It seems that the epidemic has taken good care of you, and this palace is very pleased to hear that the two of you are very affectionate in the house."
"His Royal Highness really takes care of his sister, and this is also a loss to the eldest sister."
"This palace didn't do anything, it's just that the epidemic is interested in you, and what this palace does is just pushing the boat along the water."
"The eldest sister of the emperor is so embarrassed, the elder sister came today to bring the iced tea of the Yan country, the elder sister heard that the eldest sister of the emperor likes to drink the ice tea of the Yan country, and the elder sister brought some."
Suddenly, Wu Man's face changed slightly when he heard the word "iced tea", Du Yao noticed Wu Man's changes, and knew that Wu Man couldn't let go of Jun Qianmo in his heart, and Du Yao planned to help him and the two of them once.
"This is the royal brother specially asked the courtiers to give the imperial elder sister a gift, the imperial brother said that this tea is new to the country of Qi Yan this year, and it is the taste that the imperial elder sister likes."
Du Yao didn't forget to pay attention to Wu Man's expression when he said this, and saw that Wu Man's face had a little more rare tenderness, but that gentleness was fleeting, and there was no trace at all.
"The eldest sister doesn't like it, if the eldest sister doesn't like the younger sister, she will take the tea back."
"This is the heart of the county lord, why can't this palace accept it?"
"Can the courtier ask the eldest sister the emperor a question that she shouldn't ask?"
For some reason, Du Yao suddenly mustered up the courage to say such a sentence to Wu Man, and noticed that Wu Man's face had a little more inquiring look, and Du Yao expected that Wu Man would not say anything to her.
"Since the third princess knows that she shouldn't ask, then don't ask. The palace knows the intention of the county lord, and the epidemic asks you to come to see the palace, and the palace is also happy. There are some things that you shouldn't know, so don't ask so much, back then everything was a foregone conclusion, and there was nothing to ask for when people went to tea and cool. ”
"It's the courtier's sister who is negligent, and I hope the emperor's eldest sister won't blame it."
Understood the meaning of Wu Man's words, Du Yao didn't plan to discuss this matter anymore, she knew that no matter how she tried Wu Man's words, Wu Man would not tell her the truth.
"You are the younger brother and sister of this palace, how can this palace be angry with you?"
"Sister Xie Huang, eldest sister is not to blame."
"You don't need these false courtesies between you and the palace, Liu Fu, take care of the tea prepared by the prince's mansion."
"Yes."
Seeing Liu Fu take the gift box from Su Jin's hand, Du Yao said with a smile to Liu Fu.
"Aunt Liufu has worked hard."
"The crown princess laughed, the slave maid doesn't work hard for the eldest princess."
"Aunt Liu Fu has served by the emperor's eldest sister all the year round, and she has always done her best, and the palace admires her."
"Slave, thank you for the compliment."
After a few words of greeting with Du Yao, Liu Fu went to work on herself. Seeing that Du Yao was very concerned about Liu Fu, Wu Man covered up his dissatisfaction.
"This palace heard that the prince is going to take you back to the country of Qi Yan in the near future, but is there such a thing?"
"His Royal Highness thought that his sister was homesick, so he planned to take his sister back to pray for the country. Speaking of which, the younger sister has never been to the country of Qiyan. ”
"Qi Yanguo is cold all year round, and there is no good scenery, that kind of place you don't want to go a second time after you have been to it once."
Recalling the grass and trees of Qi Yan Country, Wu Man still had a feeling that it was right in front of him. That was many years ago, and the images of the past are still lingering in my mind.
"The prince is also interested in you, you also have to fight for some anger, and if you conceive a child earlier, it will not be in vain that the palace expects so much from you."
When she heard Wu Man's words at first, Du Yao was startled at first, and then her cheeks flushed slightly, this kind of thing that was supposed to avoid people was said by Wu Man like this, how could Du Yao not be shy.
Seeing Du Yao so shy, the smile on Wu Man's face became brighter and brighter.
"Bengu didn't say anything else, what are you shy about. Now the prince's mansion has a child, but that child ...... This palace still hopes that you can give birth to a child for the crown prince. ”
"Don't worry, the eldest sister of the emperor, the courtier sister knows it."
"It's good that you know it in your heart, you haven't figured out the battle in the harem, and it is inevitable that there will be times when things don't go well in the prince's mansion, and this palace believes that with your intelligence, you will be able to handle everything."
"Sister Xie Huang's eldest sister is heavy."
This was the first time that Wu Man had instructed Du Yao so carefully, and Du Yao didn't know why Wu Man had instructed her so much. Perhaps, it was the gift box of tea that shortened the distance between them, or maybe it was because the tea was specially prepared for Wu Man by Jun Qianmo, or maybe Wu Man had regarded her as a real relative, a relative like her and Jun Qianmo.
"It's not too early, you can stay here for lunch, the prince has sent someone to tell the palace, and he will come in a while, so that you can rest assured that the two of you can go back to the palace together."
"Yes."
At noon, Wu Man and Du Yao played against each other in the hall, Su Jin served carefully on the side, and Liu Fu prepared lunch with the other maids.
Xu has not had a relationship with each other for a long time, and Du Yao's chess skills are far inferior to Wu Man, but Wu Man still sees Du Yao's potential strength from it.
"How long has it been since you played chess?"
"It's been a while, and since my sister married into the prince's mansion, I rarely played chess."
"This palace sees that your chess skills are not weak, and I think it is because you haven't practiced for a long time."
"Sister Chen's chess is the worst of the brothers and sisters, and in the past, the master didn't talk much about the sister."
"Divine Doctor Xu has too high expectations for you, in the eyes of this palace, your chess skills should be on par with the second lady of the National Teacher's Mansion, and this palace will let the two of you play a game here in the palace when you are free another day."
"Miss Fang Er's chess skills are not comparable to the courtier's sister, and His Royal Highness King Cheng takes care of Miss Fang Er's too well, and the courtier's sister doesn't want to have any grudges with Chengwang Zhengfei."
"What is not the right concubine, Princess Cheng is Li Qinlin's, no one expected Fang Qingxi to return to the capital, now Li Qinlin has no position to speak of, she can be regarded as sitting in the position of this side concubine."
"It seems that the Chengwang Mansion is not much better than the Prince's Mansion."
Hearing Du Yao's words, Wu Man looked at Du Yao with a smile, and then said with a smile:
"Yao'er, you are wrong about this, you have the prince's favor in the prince's mansion, and this palace has never seen this brother of this palace have such a heart for any woman. Cheng Wang is different, the women around him are all excellent, but he will not categorically believe one or the other. And you are what the palace and the prince believe together. ”
Wu Man's words made Du Yao's heart for a while, she didn't expect Wu Man to say such a thing with herself, maybe she Wu Man knew something, or maybe Wu Man just hoped that she and Wu Fang could live well.
"What are you talking about? Why can't you even play chess well? ”
