Chapter 122 (2nd Watch)
On the second day, when Hua Yan woke up, Yun Chi had already gone to the morning court, she lifted the curtain and looked out, the sun shone into the window, and most of the sun fell in the inner room, obviously the sun was already three poles.
She sat up, rubbed her sore body, looked at the red marks on her body, and remembered last night, and her face flushed. really overestimated the etiquette and etiquette that Yun Chi had been taught since he was a child, how could he be so able to toss people in bed? It's no different from a wild horse that has escaped.
Last night she was tossed by Yun Chi in a dim night, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Cai Qing heard the movement and asked in a low voice outside, "Crown Princess, are you awake?" ”
"Well, wake up." Hua Yan immediately lowered the curtain again, and then pressed the spring palace picture under the pillow.
Cai Qing asked tentatively, "The slave maid asked someone to carry a bucket of water to bathe you?" ”
Huayan's face burned again, no matter how thick her skin was, she had to ask for water so diligently in the past two days, which also made her face a little unbearable, but she couldn't help but wash it, so she could only nod her head in response.
Cai Qing gave the order, and soon two rough envoys came in with a bucket of water and put it behind the screen.
Cai Qing walked in, saw that Hua Yan was still lying on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "The slave is waiting for you?" ”
Hua Yan shook her head, "No, I'll do it myself." ”
Cai Qing retreated again.
Hua Yan got up, her feet were soft and her legs were soft, and she laboriously walked into the back of the screen, put herself in the bath bucket, wrapped in warm water, and felt more comfortable.
After bathing, Hua Yan had some strength, dressed properly, and went out of the room.
Cai Qing waited outside, saw Hua Yan, and smiled with a smile on her face, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the slave maid, wait for you to wake up, and tell you to rest well today." ”
Hua Yan reached out and patted Cai Qing's head, pinched her face again, and straightened her face, "Isn't it fat?" How dare you laugh at me. ”
Cai Qing blinked, not as dare to hide as Qiu Yue, Ren Huayan patted and pinched, and said with a smile, "The slave doesn't dare, it's for you and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Hua Yan withdrew her hand and couldn't help laughing.
After the meal, the sky was ringing at noon, Hua Yan had just woken up, naturally he would not go back to take a nap, seeing that the weather outside was good, the autumn breeze was blowing, and it was not as hot as a few days ago, so he said to Cai Qing, "Find two books, let's go to the phoenix wood." ”
Cai Qing nodded, found two notebooks, and asked people to move the chaise longue to the phoenix wood.
When Mama Fang heard this, she hurriedly led someone to prepare some melons and fruits and refreshments, and set the table under the phoenix tree.
Hua Yan was lying on the recliner under the phoenix tree, and Cai Qing sat on the low stool beside her, reading a book to Hua Yan according to the old rules.
Mama Fang saw that Hua Yan's body was thin, so she hurriedly ordered someone to take a thin blanket and cover her.
Not long after, Xiao Zhongzi carried a big basket and went back to the East Palace panting, and when he heard that Hua Yan was under the phoenix tree, he rushed to the phoenix tree out of breath.
Hua Yan originally closed her eyes to recuperate, but when she heard the movement, she opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhongzi.
Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the front, put down the big basket, wiped a handful of sweat, and bowed to Hua Yan, "Crown Princess, this is a lychee sent by Lingnan, just entered Beijing, a total of two baskets, there is a basket left in the palace, this basket His Royal Highness instructed the servants to bring it to you." ”
Huayan probe to see, sure enough, it is a fresh lychee, full of a big basket, at this time it is not easy to eat lychees in Beijing, Lingnan is two or three thousand miles away from the capital, this lychee sent into Beijing is estimated to run a few horses, she smiled and said, "Such a big basket, when I am a pig." The words fell, and he instructed Cai Qing, "Separate, send one copy to the Jingguo Mansion, the Mei Mansion, and the Anyang Palace." After speaking, he thought about it, and said, "Send another copy to the Wuwei Hou Mansion and the Zhao Mansion." ”
Xiao Zhongzi whispered when he heard this, "Although it is a big basket, it will be lost if you share it like this." ”
Hua Yan smiled, "Although the lychees are sent all the way to the capital, they are not as noble as His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to rely on the important ministers of the court and the central government, just a basket of lychees, and I can't give up anything." ”
Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly lowered his head, "It's the minion who is shallow-eyed, you are right." ”
Hua Yan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Council Hall now?" ”
Xiao Zhongzi nodded, "I was discussing the disaster in the north, this morning, His Royal Highness received a secret report, which is much more serious than the report of the song, a few days ago, the flood washed away a county, drowning thousands of people, and the imperial court's supervision of the imperial history is in that county. ”
Hua Yan's brows furrowed, "Drowning thousands of people? ”
Xiao Zhongzi nodded, "Exactly." ”
Hua Yan's face was ugly, "The floods in the Sichuan River Valley, except for five years ago, have never had such a big disaster in recent years, why did so many people drown in the north?" When the words fell, she asked, "What county?" ”
Xiao Zhongzi immediately said, "The secret report says that it is Yuqiu County. ”
Hua Yan pondered the geology and landform of Yuqiu County for a moment in her mind, and her face sank even more, "Where is the disaster in the north, it stands to reason that it should not be Yuqiu County, Yuqiu County is mountainous, there is only one small river valley, and there is a diversion upstream into the Lingqu River, how can the big water not reach Yuqiu County, and thousands of people have drowned, it's really a joke." ”
Xiao Zhongzi whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said the same, and after receiving the secret report, he was very angry. ”
Hua Yan secretly thought that it seemed that the situation in the Northland was even more chaotic than imagined, drowning thousands of people, one of whom was supervising the imperial history, this was a big deal, she asked, "Can you discuss who to send to the Northland?" ”
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head, "It's not decided yet." ”
Hua Yan secretly thought that Yun Chi didn't plan to rectify the Northland so quickly, he should have planned to take action to govern the Northland after the wedding, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the Northland so soon, it seems that it is imminent to rectify the Northland.
There is such a huge difference between the report and the secret report, which shows how far the officials in the north have deceived each other?
Yun Chi loves the people like a son, and now he must be angry.
She looked at Xiao Zhongzi and asked gently, "In addition to asking you to send back such a basket of lychees, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say to you?" ”
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't explain anything else, only said that you should rest well, and you don't have to wait for him for dinner, maybe you won't come back too early." ”
Hua Yan nodded, something like this happened, Yun Chi was naturally busy, she waved her hand to Xiao Zhongzi.
Xiao Zhongzi said goodbye and immediately hurried away again.
According to Hua Yan's instructions, Cai Qing divided a basket of lychees into several portions, and the Fu housekeeper sent people to the prefectures.
There were two plates left in the East Palace, Hua Yan ate half a plate and left half a plate for Yun Chi, and the other plate was shared by Cai Qing, Mama Fang, Steward Fu and others, and everyone thanked them.
Jingguo Mansion, Mei Mansion, and Anyang Wangfu received the lychee sent by the East Palace, and when they heard that it was Hua Yan's order, they were very happy, and Mrs. Mei smiled and rewarded the little eunuch of the East Palace, and asked the little eunuch to bring a post to Hua Yan, and asked her to go to Mei Mansion tomorrow to enjoy the flowers.
Last time, when Hua Yan went to Meifu, in order to withdraw from the marriage, she used Meifu, although she didn't toss up a reason, but Meifu was also panicked for a while, and now Yun Chi personally went to Lin'an Hua's house to ask for marriage, and the two finalized the marriage again, and it was really nailed on the floor.
After Yun Chi returned to Beijing, the Ministry of Rites has been intensively preparing for the wedding agenda of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these days, and the government and the opposition are really aware that no matter what, the crown princess is none other than Huayan, and Meifu naturally knows more deeply.
Although Old Man Mei was choked by Hua Yan earlier and was not very satisfied with her, but at the same time, he felt that he could be as bold and bold as Yun Chi, and she was really the only one in the world, and she couldn't pick out the second one, just because of this, other women were inferior.
What's more, although he didn't know much about the southwest realm, from Mei Shuyu's letter, he also vaguely guessed the role of some Huayan, and Huayan was not infertile, and the little anger in his heart had long since dissipated, so he naturally supported Mrs. Mei to invite Huayan again.
The post was sent back to the East Palace, and Hua Yan responded with a smile, thinking that she should also go to Meifu to see, and by the way, she apologized for causing trouble to Meifu by her unorthodox appearance in Meifu earlier.
Wuwei Hou Mansion and Zhao Mansion did not expect to receive lychees from Hua Yan.
Liu Fuxiang got the news of Su Zi Chop from Hua Yan that day, although she was relieved and no longer worried about whether Su Zi Chop had already died, she still had a sense of depression in her heart about Hua Yan.
Su Ziqi met Huayan and treated her differently, asked her to get drunk and red-faced, and carried her on her for thirty miles, and now even Wuweihou doesn't know where he is, and she knows where he is, and she knows whether he is good or not.
Even if Hua Yan still wants to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she is still jealous of the difference she made in Su Ziqi's heart.
She didn't expect Hua Yan to send someone to send a copy of the lychee to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, the lychee is rare and precious, she couldn't help but guess what Hua Yan wanted to do with the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and immediately sent someone to inform the Wu Wei Hou.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but ask Zhao Zaipu, Zhao Zaipu ordered someone to find out which mansion the princess had sent lychees, and heard that there were Jingguo Mansion, Mei Mansion, Anyang Palace, and Wuwei Hou Mansion, Zhao Zaipu was immediately relieved and said to Mrs. Zhao, "The princess should have no other meaning, lychees are rare, which probably represents the East Palace's kindness to the important ministers in the court." ”
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, there was a copy of the Zhao Mansion, although it was given by the crown princess, but in the name of the East Palace, it also showed that His Royal Highness the crown prince did not have a problem with the Zhao mansion, and would still reuse it, otherwise the crown princess would not have done this.
