Chapter Thirty-Seven: Every Year Is Today
"Unreliable ......"
Pei Qingtan smiled helplessly and said: "He is General Wei, since I am determined to go north, whether I can get out of the gate of the dust capital depends on him." There is also no alternative. ”
Su Xuexin said that there is no choice, it is always the princess's mind, and she is unwilling to choose someone else.
"In short, you are careful in everything, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the palace, and seeing your cousin as soon as possible is the most important!"
Su Xue explained this last sentence, and then urged her to leave. As soon as Pei Qingtan left, she returned to the main room, took out a prepared incense, and lit it under the window.
The next day, the palace of the king of Chu.
On this year's birthday, Pei Yaowei and Xiao Di spent it in another garden. Staying in the maple forest for a few days, it was rare for her to stretch her mind, but she didn't want to, as soon as she returned to the mansion in the afternoon, the bad things followed.
"Niangniang, this is a gift sent to you by Princess Qi yesterday, take a look."
In the bathing light hall, Instant Rain presented the things sent by Duyu yesterday, and I didn't want Pei Yaowei to listen to her words, and her face, which was still a little warm, turned white in an instant.
As soon as Instant Rain's eyes moved, he immediately understood - it seems that this time, his own princess and Princess Qi are really moved.
"Okay," At this time, Xiao Di changed his clothes, walked over from the dormitory, and said to Instant Yu: "Put the things here, you go to the back kitchen to have a look first, and let them make a few sweet soups to cushion the princess's stomach." ”
Instant rain will understand and take the order to leave.
Pei Yao sat there, looking at the palm-sized brocade box in a daze.
Xiao Di was standing beside her, and after a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand to reach the brocade box—
"Do what?" Pei Yao quickly pressed his hand, "Want to throw it?" Or do you want to keep it for me? ”
Xiao Di didn't answer directly, but just asked, "Do you want to keep it?" ”
She thought about it for a moment and smiled before she could say anything.
"Actually, I know what's in here."
Xiao Di raised his eyebrows, this time he went to take the box again, and Pei Yaowei didn't stop him again.
He opened the brocade box and looked at it, and Pei Yao said, "The key." ”
Really.
He smiled and put the brocade box down again, "What I sent yesterday should be her birthday gift to you." It's just this key...... What's the point? ”
"Last year today, she gave me four keys, saying that she would make up for the gifts owed to me over the years." She said, "She said that she had prepared a gift for me in Ciyun, and it would take nine keys to open the big lock that sealed the gift......
With that, she flicked the lid and closed it neatly.
"Four years to go...... This gift of hers, in my life, probably can't afford it. ”
The words landed, and for a while, both of them were silent.
"Give it to me." Finally, he said, "I'll keep it for you." ”
Pei Yao laughed, exhaled a long breath, pushed the box without necessity, and got up and entered the library.
Xiao Di didn't stay for a while when he came back, and then went out again. In the afternoon, there were showers of autumn rain, the rain stopped, and it was just in time for dusk, the sky was gorgeous, Pei Yao couldn't stay in the house, so he took the light dust to the back garden.
"How's it going?" On the way, she talked to Qingchen without a ride, and asked if there was an ice release between her and Xiao Yun in the past few days when she was not in the house, "How many words did you say to the little prince?" ”
Qingchen sighed heavily and said, "Niangniang, I have a headache when I talk about this slave!" You said that he is a person, I don't know what happened recently, his hair has grown fast, and his mind has become heavier and heavier day by day! According to your explanation, I bought a lot of delicious food to give him treasure, and his person, who was eating my things on the surface, also promised to reconcile with me, but after the delicious food was eaten, he didn't like to take care of me again! The whole person was depressed, as if someone owed him much money! ”
As she spoke, she touched her little purse and said sadly, "Don't you know what's going on in my purse!" Even if I have the heart to provide for him three times a day, I will not allow this specific situation......"
Pei Yao snorted and glanced at her, "Ghost girl, what do you mean?" Is this because I have less wages, so I will ask for rewards with me in a different way, so that you can make up for your little prince? She feigned anger and pointed a finger at her head, "You know where your elbow is turning!" ”
Qingchen smiled and sold well: "Hehe...... Mother, don't say that, that kid is compared to you! In the heart of the slave, I must still feel the most sorry for you! ”
"But...... It's true that he has been unhappy these days, I look at him, and I always feel weak in my heart, and I don't know why he is doing this, and he doesn't ......say anything when I ask him," she said, and gently pulled Pei Yao's sleeve: "Niangniang, is there anything going on lately?" ”
As soon as she said this, Pei Yaowei also took it to heart.
Xiao Yun is not the only one who has been depressed recently. Xiao Di has been by her side for the past few days, although she is trying her best to rely on her, but Pei Yaowei can also feel that he has something in his heart.
Especially, after Gu Zijun finished his work and came back to recover his life.
Thinking like this, she was about to speak, but suddenly a female voice came from behind her, calling out the princess.
Looking back, it was Jiang Lianyue.
Jiang Lianyue approached, saluted respectfully, got up and said with a smile: "I heard that the princess and princess returned to the house, and the concubine should have gone to ask for peace earlier, but she was afraid of disturbing the two of you alone, and asked the mother not to blame." ”
Pei Yao smiled and said that it was okay, "Where are you going?" I just want to walk around the garden, why don't we join us? ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint my mother's good intentions." Jiang Lianyue said: "The concubine heard that Mr. Yiyuan's youngest daughter was sick yesterday and was planning to visit." ”
Hearing this, Pei Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Yiyuan's youngest daughter, Zhao Qingchou...... And what should I say, Xiangyi?
She hadn't seen the girl since she learned about it.
She remembered the way she looked at herself, but she didn't know what she was thinking when she looked at herself, let alone how much she had had with Wen Lian, and how much she knew about this life-changing thing.
“…… Mother, mother? ”
Jiang Xiaoyue's soft call sounded in her ears, and she came back to her senses and asked what was the matter.
Jiang Lianyue smiled softly, "Niangniang, the concubine is asking, Mrs. Zhao, I don't know if you want to go with the concubine?" ”
Pei Yaowei unconsciously wanted to refuse, but somehow, the words she said became a 'good' word.
Because Zhao was worried about recuperating and needed to be quiet, after Mrs. Zhao lived in the mansion, Mr. Yiyuan's family moved into a secluded courtyard called Rao Anyuan at the back of the mansion. Before Jiang Lianyue came over, she had sent someone to greet Mrs. Zhao, but Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that the two ladies were waiting for her in the end.
After seeing the ceremony in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Originally, it was already troublesome for Concubine Jiang to come over, why did the princess also come together?" She glanced back into the room, "But the children are in trouble, and it's not worth stirring up!" ”
After speaking, she hurriedly invited someone into the house and served tea and spoke.
"I just walked around the garden, and if I hadn't met the Silent Moon, I wouldn't have known about being sick." Pei Yaowei took a sip of tea, gave Qingchen a look, and said, "You go inside first, and accompany the little girl for your wife." ”
As soon as these words were said, everyone present understood them tacitly, and if they didn't understand, they couldn't detect anything wrong.
The light dust was brittle, and he went into the inner room. Pei Yaowei turned around and asked, "What did Mr. Yiyuan say?" ”
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Niangniang has not been in the house for the past two days, I don't know, my grandson went out a few days ago, saying that he went to the suburbs of Beijing to collect medicine, and he has never come back until now!"
However, the first day of the rain has been invited to Dr. He to come and see, saying that it is just an ordinary cold and fever, and after drinking medicine, it will be good to give birth and recuperate. The two mothers don't have to worry. ”
Pei Yaowei nodded, and Jiang Xiaoyue also said, "That's good." ”
Everyone said for a while, Jiang Lianyue said if she wanted to go in and take a look at Qingchou, and there was movement in the inner room, and after a while, I saw Qingchen leading the neatly dressed Zhao Qingchou out.
On September days, the seven or eight-year-old girl was wrapped in a jacket, and her handsome little face was flushed, and she didn't know whether it was hot or burning.
Mrs. Zhao's face was full of headaches when she saw it, if it weren't for Jiang Xiaoyue's presence, she would have wanted to point to Qingchen's nose and ask her if she was going to die.
Pei Yaowei bumped into Zhao Qingchou's eyes unsuspectingly, paused, and then twisted his head, deliberately avoiding it.
Zhao Qingchou's eyes moved.
Qingchen led her to the front and instructed with a smile: "Come, light sorrow, give a salute to the princess and Jiang Niangniang!" ”
Zhao Qingchou was obedient, but without waiting, Pei Yao said first: "Okay, you, she is still sick, what kind of courtesy!" ”
As she spoke, she straightened out her mood, looked at Zhao Qingchou without any flaws, and said gently: "Go and sit with your mother." ”
Zhao Qingchou still bowed his head, said thank you, and then went over and sat down next to Mrs. Zhao.
Jiang Xiaoyue was concerned about her for a few words, and Mrs. Zhao saw that she was in good spirits, so she didn't rush to call her back.
While a few people were talking, Mrs. Zhao suddenly remembered something, called the maid beside her, and asked her to go inside to present the prepared gifts.
"Rites?" When Qingchen heard this, he first asked curiously: "What kind of ceremony?" Who are you sending it to? ”
"Nature is not for you!" Mrs. Zhao glanced at her with a tiger face, and then smiled lightly and said to Pei Yao: "Wasn't it His Highness's birthday yesterday, this birthday gift, I discussed it with my grandson, and it was prepared early in the morning, I wanted to wait for the day to send it over, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness Yaxing to take the princess to the other garden early, only the two of you passed!" ”
When she said this, there was a hint of ridicule in her tone, Pei Yaowei didn't notice anything, but Zhao Qingchou on the side noticed that Jiang Lianyue deliberately picked up the teacup and hid the slightest imperceptible emotion in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhao continued: "I heard that the prince is going out again now?" Coincidentally, the princess came, so I was lazy, and this birthday gift was handed over by Princess Lao. After a few days, this girl will be cured, and I will go to the Bathing Light Hall to apologize to His Highness. ”
