Chapter 308: Affinity
That is, when he turned around, Yanzi saw Ao Li leading Princess Xuanting over.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, she didn't show it.
"Say hello to the princess." Yanzi saluted before her eyes fell on Ao Li: "Why did Mrs. Auntie bring the princess over." Madame was unwell and was resting in her room. That's why my aunt and wife entertained the princess. ”
"I heard that Madame was not feeling well, so I came to greet her." Xuan Ting smiled warmly, and stepped forward enthusiastically: "It just so happens that I brought a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, so let's make up for my wife." ”
The maid who followed behind hurriedly presented the brocade box.
Yanzi had no choice but to let the maid on the side take it: "The slave and maid thank Princess Ting for Mrs. It's just that Madame is ...... now."
"It's all right, I'll just go in and have a look." Xuan Ting insisted on refusing to leave, and her smile was quite bright.
This made the swallow embarrassed. After all, I didn't see Ao Xuan, so Princess Ting sent a gift again......
"Madame is weaker, maybe she didn't sleep well last night." Ao Li hurriedly played a round: "I'm tired of the princess to go for nothing, or the princess will come back another day." ”
"My sister is angry when she says this. Now I'm married to Ao Suo. You are my sister, and the Metropolitan is my brother-in-law. Madame is naturally my sister. My sister is not happy, and I, who is my sister, of course, still have to visit to feel at ease. How can there be a reason to pass through the door and not enter. ”
The words were all said by her, and Gan Peilin was also helpless. She coughed lightly a few times, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Who is talking outside?" ”
Yanzi hurriedly opened the door, didn't go in, and deliberately said loudly: "Madam, it was the second aunt who brought Princess Ting to visit you." ”
"Princess Ting is here." Gan Peilin and Yanzi glanced at each other, and when they learned that there was no Ao Xuan, they nodded slightly: "Please come in." ”
Just before the first few people outside were talking, Gan Peilin had already removed the hairpin on his head.
Looking at it like this now, it's a little sickly.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Xuan Ting sat down on the edge of the bed enthusiastically and held Gan Peilin's hand eagerly.
"I have been dressed up in the morning, and I wanted to go out of the house to take a walk, just to see what fashionable new goods are available in the rouge shops in the market." Gan Peilin said such a long sentence, and couldn't help coughing. She covered her mouth and nose with a silk and turned her head inward. It took a long time to calm down.
"Who knows, just put on your clothes, and your body won't be able to support it." Gan Peilin smiled helplessly: "Let the princess laugh." ”
has been pretending to be pitiful before, making people think that she has fallen out of favor and is disgusted by Jiang Yu. But yesterday Ao Xuan got married, and Jiang Yu showed a particularly painful look, which made people suspicious.
Now that Princess Xuanting has come to the door, the fake show has to continue.
"Madame's face is indeed a little pale." Ao Li couldn't help but worry: "Do you want to go to the concubine to invite a royal doctor for your wife to enter the house?" ”
"It's okay." Gan Peilin shook his head slightly: "Xu was bathed in a cold last night." Go back and ask Liulan to boil me some ginger soup, drink it and sleep again. ”
"Madam, it's not good to avoid medical treatment." Princess Xuanting smiled warmly: "I know that the imperial doctors you used in the past were not very good. Why don't you let me recommend one for Madame? ”
"That's embarrassing." Gan Peilin said gently: "The princess must be a royal doctor who only treats the royal family. How can a concubine trespass. ”
"Madam, I just talked to my sister outside the door." Xuan Ting looked at Ao Li and smiled: "I am also the daughter-in-law of the Ao family now." You, the Metropolitan Governor, and Sister Li are all my relatives. This little thing, how can it come from? If anyone asks, just say that I told him to come and treat his wife, and that would be fine. ”
While speaking, she glanced at the maid outside the door: "Go and ask Qian Yun to come." ”
"The princess is very loving, and the concubine is cheeky and grateful." After Gan Peilin said this, he couldn't stop coughing again.
"Madame, take care of yourself." Xuan Ting gently stroked her back. I have to say that Gan Peilin is indeed a little delicate. Looking at it like this, her waist is not full of grips, even if she is wrapped in ordinary clothes, she can still see that slenderness.
"Madame, you have to take good care of yourself." Xuan Ting thought for a moment and said, "There are a few cooks in my house who have good skills. Later, he asked someone to bring it over and prepare a meal for his wife. ”
"The princess can't help it." Ao Li hurriedly said: "The concubine knows that you have good intentions, and she thinks about it for the sake of Mrs. But the cooks in your house are all specially selected for you by His Royal Highness King Yeqing, and some of them have been serving you for many years. If you mean to come, I'm afraid ......"
"That's what Sister Ao said." Gan Peilin also nodded: "Liulan, who is next to the concubine, is also a good girl who is proficient in cooking. The concubine is accustomed to her craft, and the princess does not need to worry about the concubine. Besides, the swallows can also help prepare, which is not a big deal. ”
"Well, this matter depends on Madame." Xuan Ting said with a smile: "But if Madame wants to use any special side dishes, or what novel ingredients she needs, just let someone tell me." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded gently. "The concubine is grateful for the princess's love."
In this way, the three of them were polite for a while.
Princess Xuanting's maid came over to reply. said that Qian Yun went to the doctor, and he would not be able to come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion until later.
"Then we can only let Madame later." Xuan Ting was a little worried: "Can your body still hold up?" ”
"The princess doesn't have to worry about me, everything is fine with the concubine." Gan Peilin coughed lightly and said with a smile: "When the concubine is in good shape after a while, I will ask the princess to come over and talk about it." ”
"Okay." Xuan Ting nodded, a little hesitant.
"That's right." Gan Peilin saw her thoughts and deliberately asked, "Shouldn't the princess enter the palace to say goodbye at this time?" Why did you come to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion first? ”
"Originally, I was going to enter the palace to ask for peace. But when I got up early and went out, I heard that a small country near the west had rebelled, and took advantage of the night to invade my border villages and towns. For this emperor, the courtiers were urgently summoned to the palace for an audience. Xuan Ting said worriedly: "The most unbelievable thing is the general who is in charge." I heard that it used to be ...... He is the lieutenant general under the command of the Grand Governor. So Ao Su was in a hurry to see the Metropolitan Governor and wanted to ask for clarification. Unexpectedly, the governor of the capital has been summoned to the palace by the emperor. ”
"What does the princess mean is that my husband used to be a lieutenant under his command to help a small country on the western border invade my border villages and towns?" Gan Peilin organized the language as concisely as possible.
"Yes." Xuan Ting nodded. "So Ao Su is in a hurry to enter the palace."
"Oh." Gan Peilin nodded solemnly.
"Madam, this matter won't affect the governor, will it?" Ao Li's worries were written on his face.
Gan Peilin didn't say anything, just frowned and hung his head.
"Why don't I go into the palace to find out the news?" Xuan Ting narrowed her eyes and said: "Only when you know the specific situation can you find a way to solve it." ”
"It's fine." Ao Li nodded hurriedly: "Then it will bother the princess." ”
"But ......" Xuan Ting thought for a while: "Sister, why don't you accompany me into the palace." Let's just go to the queen to say goodbye to the queen mother. ”
Ao Li was slightly stunned, and turned to look at Gan Peilin.
That means, whether she can go or not, Gan Peilin nodded.
"Madam, let my sister enter the palace with me. Multiple people, many pairs of ears, may be able to know more detailed. Xuan Ting took Gan Peilin's hand and asked coquettishly, "Is it okay, madam?" ”
"Originally, we, the deep women, should not meddle in the affairs of the government. But this matter is related to our husband. Naturally, it's better to know something. Gan Peilin nodded lightly, but said seriously: "Princess Ting, you must be cautious, don't cause any misunderstanding for this." If you can find out, it's good, if not, please let the Ao family sister come back safely. ”
"This lady can rest assured." Xuan Ting comforted her a few more words before saying, "Then we'll go first." ”
The swallow sent the person out and turned back: "Madam, why don't the slaves seem to understand?" Xuan Ting Gong mainly inquired about the news, and it would be good to follow the second son of the Ao family into the palace directly. Why did you come to our house to go around in such a big circle?"
"Didn't she take one from our house?" Gan Peilin's heart is like a mirror.
"Madame mean the second aunt?" The swallow couldn't see it even more.
"Could it be that Princess Ting wants to stick a nail in your side?" Yanzi twisted her eyebrows slightly: "I thought that Princess Ting was really scheming, and she fell in love with you." ”
"Maybe she's really in love with me." Gan Peilin's words are meaningful.
Yanzi was a little unhappy: "Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs." There are already a lot of women in this palace, and the people in the house have to get in. Ma'am, you really have to be careful in the future. ”
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded slightly: "I thought it was for the sake of the captain, so the emperor hurriedly summoned Jiang Yu to meet him." Unexpectedly, it has only been peaceful for a few days, and the war has started again, and it is the people who are injured after all. ”
"There's no way around it." Yanzi sighed: "It's just that I don't know the emperor's intentions now, whether he will let the master go on the expedition." ”
"No, it won't." Gan Peilin said directly.
"This matter involves Jiang Yu, and the courtiers must hope that he will avoid suspicion. Coupled with the fact that his power is expanding day by day, the emperor does not want to give him the opportunity to become famous. I guess the emperor will probably choose one of the two from Ao Su and King Yeqing. ”
"The emperor is worried about cultivating the Ao family, and it is reasonable to choose Ao Xuan. But why does Madam think that King Yeqing is also a suitable candidate? "Swallow didn't understand.
"King Yeqing has military power, but he has never made military achievements." Gan Peilin's smile was snuggled with a chill: "He wants to sit firmly on the powerful ministers beside the emperor, hold the male soldiers, replace Jiang Yu, how can he do it without military merits." ”
Yanzi nodded: "The slave maid is still the most beautiful time for the master, but I didn't expect the danger around the master, which can be described as walking on thin ice." ”
"He doesn't care about that." Gan Peilin's smile revealed a hint of relief: "He likes this." The more difficult it is to win, the more you have to win, and that's how he is. ”
