Chapter 122: Lunch on hold
The square table in the lobby has been full of delicacies, but the atmosphere on the table is very strange, and the servants are sensitive to the anger of the prince, and immediately hold their breath and concentrate, not daring to make the slightest movement, for fear of making a noise that will provoke the anger of the master, so they eat and hang up for nothing.
Mama Xu looked at Gu Qingyi worriedly, why did the princess enter the warm pavilion, and the anger that seemed to have diminished rose again, could it be that the princess made the princess angry again? Gu Qingyi also felt inexplicable, she just refused King Qin's proposal to come out for dinner, who knows why he sank his face? Could it be because of the anger of the previous house separation?
Because of the wound on her tongue, she couldn't eat in the first place, and at this time she was even more out of her appetite, and the nausea that she had forcibly suppressed before came rushing in an instant, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly shouted, "Mama, pot." ”
Mama Xu's face changed, and she quickly brought a pot and put it in front of her with her age-inappropriate fitness hand, and Gu Qingyi couldn't help but vomit anymore. He vomited out all the things he had barely eaten, and in the end there was nothing else in his stomach, but the nausea had not yet faded, and he could only vomit bitter water again and again, and tears couldn't help but seep out.
King Qin slapped his chopsticks with a calm face, and said sharply to a room of stunned and flustered slaves, "Still stunned, please Doctor Zhou." ”
Gu Qingyi hurriedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and raised her head, "Lord Wang, there is no need to trouble Doctor Zhou, the concubine is just a temporary loss of appetite......"
Her voice gradually dissipated under King Qin's cold gaze, and her throat was nauseous again, and she hurriedly held the basin and vomited. Mama Xu was very worried when she saw her retching, and hurriedly instructed the little maid, "Quickly bring the tea and rinse the princess." ”
The stunned little girl came to life at this time, and hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea for Gu Qingyi to rinse her mouth, the tea taste was clear and greasy, diluting the bitterness and sourness in her mouth, Gu Qingyi's expression eased, and after rinsing her mouth, she drank a few sips of tea, and the desire to vomit in her throat dissipated, and her face gradually returned to blood.
This afternoon meal can't be eaten, Gu Qingyi was helped by Han Dong and Qiu Yan to rest in the warm pavilion, just under the soft collapse, the sweaty Dr. Zhou hurriedly arrived, probably sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, he didn't dare to look at it randomly, his voice was cautious and restrained, and he said in a low voice, "The villain asks the princess for a pulse." ”
Gu Qingyi skillfully handed her hand over, Dr. Zhou carefully diagnosed the pulse, and asked Mama Xu and others about her daily diet today, and she already had a judgment in her heart, the princess was obviously tired and bitter in summer, and she was worried about it, which would cause vomiting to stop.
It's just that he can't say that the princess is depressed, so he can only turn around and say to King Qin, who is full of cold, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, the princess is fine, she just needs to recuperate, and she can't work anymore." The villain opened a recipe to clear the heat and relieve the heat, and the princess drank a bowl every day. ”
Only then did King Qin nod and let him go down to boil the medicine, glanced at Gu Qingyi, and ordered, "Let the kitchen cook a bowl of blood swallows." ”
The prince has never eaten these things, needless to say that they are for the princess, Siqing got the order and hurriedly retreated, Gu Qingyi came to her senses, looked at King Qin apologetically, and said, "Is it the concubine who disturbs the prince's interest in lunch." ”
She vomited so much that it was dark, and the weather was hot and sultry, and the smell of vomit was so bad that even she was disgusted when she smelled it, and she didn't have the appetite to eat when she thought about it.
As a result, King Qin just glanced at her calmly, and did not mean to blame, but said, "Since Dr. Zhou asked you to recuperate, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion in the future, just let Siqing do it for you." ”
The slaves and maids who were waiting in the room seemed to have Siqing in power, although Gu Qingyi was now unwell and could not manage government affairs, but it was inevitable that lifting Siqing up in this way would not make people think too much. The other subordinates of Jiyue Courtyard didn't know that the princess couldn't work because she was pregnant, they only felt that the princess had angered the prince and was deprived of the power to be in charge.
Gu Qingyi's heart tightened, and she didn't want to let the rumors unfavorable to her appear, no matter how nervous she was, she didn't show any signs on her face, and chuckled, "The concubine also means this, and I still want to discuss it with the prince at night, but unfortunately the prince brought it up first." It's just that the concubine has just entered the palace, and it is too late to deal with some matters related to the marriage, if Siqing is afraid that it will be difficult for Zhou Xiang alone, why don't you let Mama Xu assist from the side? ”
King Qin agreed without thinking about it, "You arrange it." ”
Gu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that King Qin does not mean to empty her rights in the back house, if he doesn't even let Mama Xu take charge, her life in the palace will be difficult in the future. Thinking of Siqing, who had been in power in the backyard of the palace for a long time, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and hide the fleeting sharpness. Although she didn't plan to take care of things, she didn't mean to let Siqing continue to dominate the family, and she would take back the power of the family sooner or later, but not now.
She is still pregnant now, but she can't leave the impression of greed for power in front of King Qin.
It didn't take long for Siqing to come back with the blood swallow, her face was calm and calm, she shouldn't have had a chance to get the conversation in the room, Gu Qingyi glanced at her, and then took the blood swallow and ate it cleanly, and her body finally had some strength.
King Qin, who had been guarding the side, stood up and said to Gu Qingyi, "This king goes to the study, you have a good rest." ”
Gu Qingyi thought that he hadn't had lunch yet, and he couldn't care about his inexplicable anger before, so he hurriedly said, "The prince hasn't had lunch yet, let's eat something before leaving." ”
King Qin's face seemed to soften a little, "No, this king has other urgent matters to discuss with his staff." ”
That's why he came back to have lunch with her? Gu Qingyi felt more and more guilty in his heart, and hurriedly got up from the soft collapse and walked into the middle with King Qin, seeing that he was going to change into the airtight pro-dynasty clothes again, and immediately persuaded, "Lord Wang, the weather is hot, and you don't need to go to the court, you don't need to change your regular clothes." ”
King Qin, who was about to loosen his clothes, took a look at Gu Qingyi and said, "It's okay." ”
Gu Qingyi didn't expect King Qin to listen to her persuasion so easily, she was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted, followed King Qin's footsteps and sent him out of the courtyard, before she said to Mama Xu, "Mama, the prince didn't have lunch for fear that he would be hungry, you ordered the kitchen to make some snacks and send them over." No matter how much you make ice and sour plum soup, the staff of the deliberations will share a bowl to relieve the heat. ”
Mama Xu responded repeatedly, turned around and went to the kitchen without mentioning it. Gu Qingyi drank the heat-clearing and heat-relieving decoction boiled by Dr. Zhou, and felt sleepy, and fell asleep on the soft couch again, and it was already evening when he woke up again.
She thought of King Qin, and hurriedly summoned Mama Xu and asked, "Mama, has the prince used snacks?" ”
Mama Xu hurriedly said, "The noon snack was personally sent by the slave maid. At first, the slave and maid were stopped outside the door, and the little maid heard that the slave and maid were your grandmother, so he immediately went in to return to the prince, and the prince quickly let the slave and maid in, and there were several generals in it. The slave and maid watched the prince eat the snack with their own eyes, and shared the food with the adults, and the adults said that the princess is virtuous, and the prince looks very happy. ”
Gu Qingyi's heart was relieved at first, and then she was amused by Mama Xu's obvious flattery, "Is the prince happy, and Mama can see it?" ”
Many times King Qin has a cold face that no one can enter, Gu Qingyi has hardly seen him show a happy expression, how can he be seen by Mama Xu so easily, just to make her happy.
However, Mama Xu was convinced of her judgment and said, "Princess, don't you know, the slave maid also came back to hear from the people in the house, except for his personal servant, the prince's study is not allowed to be approached by other people in the house, and today the prince can let the slave and maid send snacks in, but it is not your face, princess?" According to the slave maid, the prince is very different from the princess. ”
Gu Qingyi remembered King Qin's behavior at noon, obviously anxious to discuss with his subordinates, but he still waited patiently for her to finish eating bird's nest before leaving, although he didn't say it at the time, but he had already shown his concern with practical actions.
Thinking of this, she suddenly fell silent.
Mama Xu saw that her expression was wrong, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Princess, since you have arranged errands for the slaves and maids and Siqing to assist in the management of government affairs, should the errands of the other slaves and maids also be decided?" ”
