073 Qiu Yan (1)
Si Yue walked up to Lin Su, did not speak immediately, but bent down uncharacteristically, and stretched out his hand to personally help Lin Su.
"Concubine, please get up." He looked down at Lin Su, "Concubine Ai is tired today. ”
He didn't say why Lin Su was tired, but Lin Su didn't understand. So, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's late, it's still cold outside, the emperor invites you to talk inside." ”
Si Yue let go of Lin Su's arm and walked towards the main hall, Lin Su followed behind him and said in a low voice: "The little prince is followed by the nurse, the grandmother, the palace maid, and the eunuch, there are quite a few people. The concubine originally thought about arranging him in the side hall of the Fuliu Palace, but after even bringing people and things over, when she saw it, she was afraid that the side hall would not be able to live. So, I asked the maids to clean the Luoxia Garden next to the Fuliu Palace, and temporarily placed the little prince. ”
"Placed in a small courtyard?" Si Yue glanced back at Lin Su, with an expression of displeasure or anger on his face. But seeing that Lin Su's heart was tight, she didn't dare to bow her head, but smiled at Si Yue's scrutinizing eyes, "Your Majesty, the little prince is surrounded by slaves to take care of, but I'm afraid that the concubines are too close to him, but it's not good." ”
These words softened Si Yue's eyes, Lin Su stepped forward and held his arm, and the two of them went up the steps together into the main hall.
Xia Yan quickly let the maid serve tea and snacks, and Lin Su personally poured tea for Si Yue, and then sat aside at the other party's signal.
"I heard that today you asked someone to invite the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, but you are feeling a little unwell?" Si Yue gently blew the tea, and a fragrance drifted away with water vapor, which just blocked Si Yue's gaze.
Lin Su, who was originally looking down at the floating tea leaves in his hand, raised his head slightly, and looked at Si Yue with a somewhat confused gaze, as if his eyes contained endless words.
"Although the concubine is weak, she is not to the point of being weak. He won't fall ill when he's a little busy, but the little prince only moved over to the concubine here today, and the concubine was afraid that he wouldn't fit in, so she sent the maid in the palace to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial doctor to come over and take the pulse of peace. ”
Si Yue pondered for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Lin Su.
"Su'er, you are so cautious in dealing with the little prince, it is really embarrassing for you." He sighed, reached out and grabbed Lin Su's hands holding the teacup, and said in a low voice: "Although you are young, you have always done things properly, so I can rest assured that I will hand over that child to you to raise." ”
"Your Majesty," Lin Su's cheeks were slightly hot, and he wanted to break free from Si Yue's hands, but after two slight efforts, he found that he couldn't break free at all, so he could only give up, "Since the emperor handed over the little prince to the concubine to raise, the concubine should naturally do something." can't live up to the emperor's trust. Just ......"
She lowered her head and slightly avoided Si Yue's eyes, revealing some uneasiness.
"How?"
Seeing her like this, Si Yue subconsciously frowned, "But," a bad thought flashed in his heart, "Could it be that the little prince is not in good health?" ”
Lin Su's hand held by Si Yue shook slightly, and then he said in a low voice: "The emperor clearly sees that there is nothing wrong with the little prince now. It's just that...... Before the imperial doctor, he said that the little prince has been weak since he was in his mother's womb, and since he was born, he has been suffering from minor illnesses......"
She paused, took out her hand and poured tea for Si Yue before whispering, "I'm afraid, it's not good to raise ......."
"What?!" Si Yue's eyes widened, Lin Su's hand shook slightly, and the hot tea spilled on the table, and even splashed on Lin Su's hand.
"Ah......" she called out in a low voice, quickly put down the teapot in her hand, but went to see Si Yue, "Your Majesty, did it burn you?" ”
"I'm fine," Si Yue took a deep breath, "I surprised you." ”
He got up and gently took Lin Su's hand and looked at the red dots on the back of her hand, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and pulled her to sit down, then turned his head and asked Xia Yan, who was cleaning up the table, to get the scalding ointment.
Xia Yan was about to go, but Lin Su stopped her.
"Go to the kitchen to find Qiu Yan, and let the maids pass the food by the way." She glanced at Si Yue, gently withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice: "I think the emperor has been busy for a day, and he didn't have dinner." The concubine cooked some dishes before, so it was better to have dinner together. ”
Si Yue glanced at her hand, and his worried thoughts were self-evident.
Lin Su glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about the emperor, Qiu Yan will deal with it." ”
"Qiu Yan?" Hearing this name from Lin Su's mouth again, Si Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's one of the several palace maids beside you, right?" Chunyan, Xia Yan, Qiuyan, is there still a winter? ”
Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "There is also a little girl in charge of knitting, called Dong Yan." She paused slightly, and then said: "Qiu Yan's father used to be an imperial doctor, and she has been with her father since she was a child and learned some medical skills. The concubine was weak when she was a child, but it was all thanks to such a maid by her side who gave me medicinal diet to regulate her body. ”
When Si Yue heard her say this, she became a little interested, and at this time, Qiu Yan brought Cai You and Cai Fang to pass the meal.
"Qiu Yan, introduce today's dishes to the emperor." Lin Su opened his mouth and commanded Qiu Yan softly.
Qiu Yan was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at Lin Su, and saw Lin Su nodding to her, so she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and saluted. Then he walked to the side of the table and introduced the dishes of the evening one by one in order, and by the way, the nourishing effect of these dishes.
Si Yue, who was only slightly interested, listened to Qiu Yan's more detailed introduction than Lin Su, and slowly sat up straight and looked at the beautifully made and fragrant dishes on the table.
Dietary therapy or something, as a child who grew up in the royal family, he naturally heard of it, but like Qiu Yan, the ordinary dishes he eats every day also have a nourishing effect, which makes him a little surprised.
He tasted some of each dish under Lin Su's cloth dishes, and then looked up at Qiu Yan, who was standing on the side and bowing his head silently.
"Qiu Yan, right?"
"The slave is Qiu Yan." Qiu Yan immediately knelt down, her head lowered, looking at the ground and recalling the promise Lin Su had made to her.
That year, she had only been in the Lin Mansion for less than half a year, and she was cautious on weekdays. She didn't even want to show up more in front of Lin Su, she had experienced too many twists and turns, and she had more insights into the world in her heart, all she thought about was that if she couldn't wash away her father's grievances, she would spend her life plainly.
However, I didn't expect that Lin Su, who was almost the same year as her, met her at that time. Even, the first thing he said was: "I know about your father." He was wronged, and I know it. What I don't know is what you think about it. ”
