These days, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the whole city seems to be placed in a huge steamer. At this time, there are more and more mosquitoes, and all the houses in the palace are lit with incense to repel insects, but this time outside, it is unbearable. Moreover, in the afternoon, the slaves and maids were listless and drowsy. So Hanyue came up with a method, planning to equip each slave with a sachet and let them hang it on their bodies, so that it could not only repel insects but also refresh their minds.

At this time, in Han Yuxuan, Han Yue was taking the two big maids of Zisu and Zimo, as well as the four second-class maids of Chunqin, Xia Shu, Qiu Qi, and Winter Painting to make sachets in the house.

"Remember that each sachet must contain mugwort leaves, calamus, perilla leaves, peilan, and mint, don't miss it, otherwise the effect will be discounted." Han Yue held a freshly made sachet in her hand and patiently explained to the maids.

"Don't worry, the princess, the slaves and maids can save it." The crowd answered. A few people were concentrating on it, and after a while, there were a bunch of good-looking and good-smelling small sachets in the basket.

"Oh, princess, I've run out of mugwort leaves and calamus here." At this time, Xia Shu was holding a half-done sachet in his hand and said worriedly.

"I don't have any more here." Winter painting also said.

Hanyue looked at Chunqin and asked, "Is there still stock in the palace?" "It's not as good as Zi Su and Zi Mo, who are responsible for the management of Hanyue's clothes and jewelry on weekdays, and Chunqin and the others are mainly responsible for the affairs of Han Yuxuan and other things that need to be dealt with in the palace.

"Back to the princess, the slave doesn't seem to remember anymore." Chunqin thought for a moment and then replied.

Han Yue looked at the sachet in the basket and thought for a moment, and then instructed everyone, "Shisu, you will take out these finished ones and distribute them to everyone first." If there's not enough, I'll talk about it when I get home. Zi Mo, you come with me to the pharmacy to buy some mugwort leaves. ”

"Princess, let the slaves do these things that require errands, besides, it's so hot outside." Chunqin persuaded.

Hanyue smiled slightly, "It's okay, you all go get busy first." ”

"Yes." The rest of the people looked at each other, and when they saw that the princess still insisted on their opinions, they had no choice but to retreat.

Han Yue is wearing a light and cool cyan silkworm ice silk moire shirt today, but walking on the street, I still feel the rolling heat wave coming, and the oil-paper umbrella on my head is just blocking a little sunlight, and it is useless.

"Miss, why do you say you are doing this, you still come out for a run on this hot day, really." Zi Mo pouted and complained on the side, she didn't care about herself, but how could she let the young lady suffer.

"I've been on bed rest since the injury, and the most I can do is walk around the house. Sometimes I do something I want to do, but you don't let me. Now it's just time to take this opportunity to come out for a walk, if you stay in the house any longer, your young lady and I will really be bored. Cold Moon said.

Zi Mo thought about it, if someone let him lie in bed every day for three months, he would not be able to stand it for a long time, "Then Miss, you go slowly, and when you go back, the slave will ask the kitchen to prepare cold mung bean soup for you to drink." ”

The master and servant entered the Deji Hall, and after some good selection, they bought enough mugwort leaves and stone calamus, and then planned to go home. The two of them were coming out of Deji Hall, and when they passed by the river, Zi Mo suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Alas, miss, look at the person over there, does his back look very much like the prince?" Zi Mo looked at the person standing under the corridor in the distance suspiciously, she looked at it, only to feel that the more she looked at it, the more it looked like it.

Han Yue followed her gaze and saw a man and a woman standing under the promenade by the river to speak, and the backs of the two looked very harmonious, like fairy couples. Han Yue stared at the man's back for a while, smiled disappreciatively and said, "This back does look like the prince, but today the prince is busy with political affairs, and it should be ...... at this time" Before Han Yue finished speaking, Zi Mo exclaimed, "Miss, it's really the prince!" ”

The two of them, who were standing by the river with their backs to the cold moon, were now standing sideways and facing each other, first the man said something, and then the woman said something, it can be seen that she was excited, and then the man stretched out his hand and hugged the woman in his arms lovingly, with a gentle and affectionate expression.

The man is long and jade, and the woman is a bird, what a match. Han Yue was stunned for a moment, she only felt that everything in front of her was extremely dazzling, and her eyes hurt. It's just that this one stung her, I don't know if it was the sunshine or the two people in the distance.

Walk away as if nothing happened? Or do you want to step forward? Just as the cold moon was hesitating, there happened to be a vendor pushing a cart by him, and the wheel somehow hit a stone on the road, and the cart suddenly rolled over with a bang, and the loud noise alarmed the two, and the two then turned around.

In an instant, the four eyes met, and time seemed to stop at this moment. Nangong Jing was stunned the moment he saw Han Yue, and he didn't know how to react, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, he led the woman beside him to Hanyue.

The woman followed Nangong Jing and came. I saw her combing the fallen horse bun, shaking the hairpin with a pair of Feiyan purple gold hanging beads, walking and shaking gently, adding a bit of agility, and a begonia flower between her foreheads, adding a little charm. The cloud bun is elegant, the eyebrows are trimmed, the skin is like coagulation, the neck is extended, the quality is dewed, the lips are bright, the teeth are fresh, and the eyes are good. Wearing a snow-colored vine and wide-sleeved gauze skirt, it seems that the waist is not full of hand.

Han Yue only felt that the people in front of him were really beautiful, so beautiful that they couldn't eat the fireworks in the world, and they were so flawless. As Cao Zijian's "Luo Shen Fu" said: "Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine." The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. ”

No wonder, no wonder, even myself is like this, let alone a man? Hanyue looked at the woman in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

"Yue'er."

"Lord Wang."

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

"Yue'er, this is the third daughter of the servant of the ministry, Su Yuyan." Nangong Jing broke the silence first.

"Su Yan ......" Han Yue murmured, and the quiet attic in the mansion suddenly flashed in her mind, "Apple Smoke Pavilion, Apple Smoke Pavilion, so it ......" A shocking thunderbolt flashed in her mind, and this sudden blow made Han Yue's heart extremely sour at this time, and she didn't know what to think for a while.

"Apple Smoke has seen the princess." Su Pingyan stepped forward and saluted respectfully, her voice as crisp and beautiful as a yellow oriole from the valley.

Han Yue pretended to be indifferent, but the hands in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, and unconsciously, his nails carved shallow blood marks in his palms. She tried her best to keep a proper smile so as not to show a hint of unusualness, and she said softly, "Miss Su is good." It's just that after this greeting, I couldn't say half a word.

Nangong Jing looked at the two opposite people in front of him, and was a little embarrassed for a while. He turned sideways, looked a little apologetic, and said to Su Yanyan gently, "Yan'er, you can go back first today." ”

When Su Yuyan heard this, she was a little disappointed between her eyebrows, she raised her eyes and glanced at Han Yue, and then at Nangong Jing, and finally said "um" obediently, and then left first.

After Su Yuyan left, Nangong Jing and Hanyue went back to the house together. Along the way, the two of them walked silently by themselves, and neither of them spoke. Walking such a long way under this scorching sun, Han Yue didn't feel a trace of heat, only felt as if he had fallen into a winter ice cellar, and his body was cold, so cold that his heart was cold.

Zi Mo silently followed behind Han Yue with an umbrella, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she felt sorry for her young lady. Although the young lady told her that there would not be only one woman in his life, she didn't expect this day to come so soon. What's more, looking at this situation, the prince seems to have known the Miss Su just now. No matter how stupid she is, when she hears the name, she will think of the Apple Smoke Pavilion in the palace.

After returning to Han Yuxuan, Nangong Jing waved his hand and ordered everyone in the room, "You all stand down." ”

"Yes." The slaves and maids retreated one after another, Zi Mo glanced at the cold moon worriedly, and finally reluctantly closed the door and retreated, and the house instantly fell silent.

After walking this way, Hanyue's heart has calmed down a lot. The prince will not belong to her alone in this life, she has already had such psychological preparation, hasn't she? It's just that I don't know why my heart still hurts so much. She took a deep breath, turned around and stared at Nangong Jing and said, "Lord Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Yue'er, I planned to find a chance to tell you about this later." Nangong Jing glanced at Han Yue, but saw that Han Yue's expression was calm, he paused and continued, "Yan'er and I met three years ago, I asked my father to give me a marriage, but my father refused on the grounds that she was the daughter of a concubine and had a poor background. My father said that after I marry the princess, I can accept her as a side concubine. Nangong Jing explained all this in a few words, and added after speaking, "Yan'er is gentle and kind, sensible and obedient, I think you will like it too." ”

Seeing that Han Yue was silent for a long time, Nangong Jing stepped up to explain, "Yue'er, don't worry, your position in my heart will never change. ”

When the cold moon heard this, the coldness in her heart flooded. She suddenly smiled, this smile was like a peony blooming in the night, so beautiful that it seemed to make the heavens and the earth lose their color, "Lord Wang, you don't have to explain anything to the concubine, the concubine is not the unreasonable person." The concubine was always afraid that she would not take good care of herself, but now it is excellent to have an extra sister to serve you. ”

Nangong Jing was overjoyed when he heard Han Yue's words, he thought that Han Yue might cry a lot because of this, but he never thought that things would go so smoothly. He stretched out his hands and excitedly hugged Han Yue in his arms, "Yue'er, thank you, you are so good, it is my blessing to have this good wife." ”

Han Yue was tightly held in Nangong Jing's arms, her hands hanging weakly, like a puppet that had been drained of her soul, without a trace of warmth and anger.
