Chapter 3: Lovesickness

From the spring of Lin'an, when the peach and plum apricot blossoms are in full bloom, to the April day of the world in the capital, the peach and plum apricot blossoms in the mountain temple are about to bloom and fall, and the flowers have not arrived in the capital.

Zheng Erhu lived in the East Palace for a month, and waited until the spring flowers were about to bloom, and he didn't wait for the flowers to come. He secretly thought, Miss Hua Yan wouldn't run away halfway, right? Or is he fooling the prince at all and won't come to the capital?

He was worried, he was really uncertain, thinking that if she ran away halfway and didn't come, she would leave him in this East Palace, although he ate and drank well and dressed well, and with the prince's orders, no one was embarrassed for him, but he was so disciplined that he didn't dare to move around, the whole East Palace was quiet every day, the servants were doing their own things, and no one was talking to him, and he was about to get sick. I think it's better to squat in the cell of the Lin'an County Ya, at least someone to speak.

He looked forward to it day by day, and the more he looked forward to it, the more he missed his cell.

After looking forward to it for a long time, I really got lovesickness.

The housekeeper of the East Palace told Yun Chi that Zhao Zaipu's birthday was coming soon, and asked the prince what gift he would give? Prepare in advance, Yun Chi thought for a moment, and after saying "no hurry", the housekeeper told another matter, saying, "The person who came to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness on the order of the crown princess is sick. ”

Yun Chi heard the words and ordered, "Please ask the imperial doctor to show him." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "I've seen it." ”

Yun Chi looked at the housekeeper's troubled look and raised his eyebrows, "What kind of illness do you have?" Isn't it good for the imperial doctor to see it too? ”

The housekeeper said helplessly, "The imperial doctor said that he had lovesickness, and this disease must be tied to the bell to solve it." ”

"Oh?" Yun Chi looked at the housekeeper, "Who is he lovesick?" ”

The butler was embarrassed for a moment, and said, "The old slave has asked, and he said that he begged the prince to send him to the cell, and his illness will be cured, and he misses the cell." ”

Yun Chi smiled, "This thing is new, is there still anyone in the world who takes the initiative to find a prison cell and wants to go to prison and wants to get sick?" ”

The housekeeper was also puzzled, "So the old slave is also wondering, I don't understand what is going on?" ”

Yun Chi said, "How long has he been in the East Palace?" ”

The housekeeper opened his mouth and replied, "The old slave remembers, it is the second day of the third month, and now it is the sixteenth day of April." It's been a month and a half now. ”

Yun Chi nodded, "A month and a half is long enough." ”

The housekeeper bowed his head, thinking about why the princess hadn't come yet? She said that she came to Beijing and didn't need the prince to pick her up, but she hadn't arrived yet. If the prince sends someone to pick him up, he can pick up two people from the capital to Lin'an.

Yun Chi thought for a while and ordered, "Since he asked, according to what he said, send him to the Yamen in Beijing." ”

The steward should be, "The old slave will send someone to send him over." ”

Yun Chi waved his hand, "You personally sent it over." ”

The housekeeper was stunned, and instantly realized that the yamen in Beijing was easy to enter and difficult to get out. This is the person who sent a letter to the crown princess, although he looks like a stupid big man with a tiger head, but he can't let him die, otherwise the princess is here, how to explain? hurriedly replied, "Yes, the old slave will personally send people over." ”

Yun Chi nodded.

The housekeeper led someone to carry Zheng Erhu out of the house, helped him into the carriage, packed up a splendid futon, and personally sent him from the East Palace to the Yamen in Beijing.

As the saying goes, the prime minister's seven-rank official in front of the door and the housekeeper of the East Palace are the prince's face. After hearing this, the people of the government hurriedly greeted the government.

The housekeeper arched his hand to Lord Zhao of the government and asked, "Lord Zhao, does the government still have a spare cell, is it good to borrow an old slave?" ”

Lord Zhao hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Jingzhong has been very peaceful recently, there is no small chaos, and there are many spare cells in the government. The words fell, and asked tentatively, "Someone in the East Palace has committed a crime?" How many days does it take? ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "It's not that someone is in trouble, it's that someone is sick and misses this cell, the old slave honored His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness agreed, sending the old slave to personally send people over." This person's name is Zhao Erhu, he is a distinguished guest of the East Palace, and he hopes that the adults will take care of him a little more. ”

Lord Zhao was stunned, there were still people who missed the cell?

The housekeeper arched his hand, "Lord Lao Zhao is bothered, and the person is in the carriage." ”

Although Lord Zhao didn't know why, since it was the housekeeper of the East Palace who personally sent someone according to the prince's instructions, he couldn't say anything but accept it, and asked in a low voice, "Butler Fu, this distinguished guest...... How many days? ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "I can't say when I'm sick and when I'll go out." ”

Lord Zhao was taken aback, "Are you sick?" ”

The butler sighed, "Exactly. ”

Lord Zhao hurriedly asked, "Is it seriously sick?" Is it a contagious disease? Or is it an unspeakable hidden disease? This official must know the symptoms of the disease, so that he can take good care of people for His Highness. ”

The housekeeper was silent, "Lovesickness." ”

Lord Zhao was stunned again.

The housekeeper asked Zhao Erhu to help him out of the car, he was obviously very happy when he saw the prison cell of the government office, and thanked the butler Fu and Lord Zhao again and again, hehe smiled, "Thank you two, thank you prince, the little one likes to stay in the cell." ”

Steward Fu and Master Zhao looked at each other and looked at him speechlessly.

Lord Zhao arranged a single room for Zheng Erhu, and when Zheng Erhu saw it, he immediately shook his head, "My lord, the villain doesn't want a separate cell, but a big cell with the big guy." When the words fell, he drew a large arc with his hand.

"This ......" Lord Zhao looked at Steward Fu, "The environment in the big cell is not good......

Zheng Erhu immediately said, "The villain is not afraid. ”

Seeing this, Steward Fu said to Lord Zhao, "Just follow the arrangement he said." ”

Lord Zhao could only nod.

Nowadays, there are few criminals in Beijing, and there are only a few prisoners in the largest prison cell in Beijing. But this is enough for Zhao Erhu to be happy. As soon as he entered, he happily greeted the people inside, and changed his appearance of being sick in the East Palace and couldn't even get out of bed, and suddenly jumped up and down.

After arranging Zhao Erhu, the Fu housekeeper said goodbye to Lord Zhao of the palace and returned to the East Palace.

After telling Yun Chi about Zhao Erhu's arrangement, he tentatively suggested, "Your Highness, the crown princess hasn't arrived for so long, could it be that something went wrong on the way?" Did you send someone along the way to find out the whereabouts of the crown princess? ”

Yun Chi didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Can her residence be cleaned up?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "I cleaned it up two months ago, and someone cleaned it every day, just waiting for the princess to come and live." ”

Yun Chi glanced at the dry apricot blossom branch that Zheng Erhu handed over to him that day on the table, "It won't take three or five days for her to arrive, so you don't have to look for it." ”

The housekeeper looked at the dry flower branch and thought secretly, I haven't heard that the flowers are actually sent to people, this princess is really different from ordinary people. It's been a month and a half and it hasn't arrived, but will it be there in three or five days?

Yun Chi laughed and said coolly, "She sent someone to send an apricot blossom branch to tell me that when the apricot blossoms in the capital fail, I will see her like I saw this dry apricot blossom branch." Now that the apricot blossoms will bloom for another three or five days, won't they all fall? ”

The butler suddenly realized.
