Qin Huai woke up in the surprised voice of the imperial doctor, and saw Hua Zhen standing beside the bed.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart: "Zhen'er." ”

Hearing this, the Imperial Physician consciously retreated, as if to give up his seat to Hua Zhen, and went to the outer room one by one to discuss the prescriptions.

Hua Zhen asked softly, "Do you want to drink some water?"

Qin Huai nodded, as if he didn't have any opinion as long as Hua Zhen said it, but he looked at Hua Zhen and was a little stupid.

Jiang Fu poured water and handed it over, Hua Zhen personally fed Qin Huai to drink water, and then ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare food.

Qin Huai frowned slightly when he heard this: "I don't have much appetite. ”

Leaning on the pillow as he spoke, Xu was still a little weak when he woke up.

At this moment, the flush caused by the low-grade fever on his face had receded, and only bloodless pale remained.

Seeing this, Hua Zhenxiu frowned slightly: "You only drank a small bowl of porridge yesterday, and now you still have to eat some, otherwise you won't eat anything, I'm afraid that your body won't be able to stand it." ”

After speaking, he watched Qin Huai staring at him, and nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, there was a slight strangeness in her heart, and she only felt that Qin Huai's eyes seemed to be hot, so that she didn't dare to look at it directly.

Immediately stood up: "I'll go and see for myself." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but was grabbed by Qin Huai violently: "Zhen'er, don't go." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen turned around and looked at the prayer in Qin Huai's eyes, and sighed in her heart, even if she knew that the more she intersected with him now, the deeper Qin Huai would fall, and the more troublesome she would be in the future.

But when I met his eyes, thinking about his desperate appearance, I couldn't bear it.

I could only pat his hand: "I'm just going to the kitchen to make porridge for you, and I won't leave." ”

Qin Huai let go of her hand and leaned on the pillow.

Just as the king of Dongjun and the princess of Dongjun came in, Hua Zhen blessed her body and took Aunt Jiang Fu and Zhou to the kitchen.

Before he could get out of Qinhuai's Songfeng Garden, he saw a maid wearing a royal blue gown stop in front of him, and respectfully saluted: "Lord Qinghe, the old princess asked the slave maid to come over and invite you to go to Hexiangju." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at the big girl standing in front of her, nodded, and asked Jiang Fu to follow the little girl from Songfeng Garden to the kitchen to stare at the porridge, while she took Aunt Zhou and followed the big girl to meet the old princess.

After all, the Dongjun Wangfu is a big family, and I thought I was the queen mother, so this mansion is not comparable to other places.

The old princess's lotus fragrance residence is the most luxurious courtyard in the entire Dongjun Palace.

The whole ground is covered with polished and delicate marble, and every flower and grass in the yard is carefully arranged, that is, as soon as people enter, they feel that the whole yard is very pleasing to the eye.

Hua Zhen followed the big girl without looking too much, and went all the way to the house where the old princess lived.

The old princess is the eldest sister-in-law of the Queen Mother, and when she was not married, she had a handkerchief with the Queen Mother, and the relationship was very good.

has always loved his eldest grandson the most.

Yesterday, when I saw Qin Huai covered in blood and was carried back, I fainted once.

Later, I heard that Qin Huai suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night, and he was even more anxious to enter the palace in person, but he was stopped by the king of Dongjun kneeling.

Naturally, I didn't sleep well this night, and at this moment I was even more tired, sitting on the soft floor, leaning on the pillow.

Listening to the movement, he raised his eyelids, and saw Hua Zhen walking in from the door, and there was a moment of distraction.

looked at Hua Zhen for a long time and listened to the big girl's reminder, and then came back to her senses.

But she still couldn't help but glance at Hua Zhen more, and couldn't help but say: "It's no wonder it's her daughter, you look too similar to your mother." ”

Hua Zhen understood in her heart when she heard that the reason why the old princess was so shocked was not because she looked like her mother, but because she looked like the original Empress Renxiao.

Not only the old princess, but many people who have seen Empress Renxiao, when they see her suddenly, they will look like this.

So seeing the old princess like this, there was no change on her face, but she respectfully followed the courtesy of her juniors and made a thousand blessings.

The old princess was still in a trance, raised her hand slightly, and instructed the maid to move the brocade and tell Hua Zhen to sit down.

Only then did she look at Hua Zhen and said with some sighs: "Your father's filial piety is almost full, right?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't understand what the old princess meant, and guessed in her heart: "There is still more than half a year to count." ”

"I remember that Hua Yan was the year before last, and he had an accident at the end of the year, and you should be married for three years by the end of this year. Said and sighed, and then said: "After this father's filial piety, it will be spring, there will be a few good days in February next year, you are not young, although your parents are gone, fortunately, your uncle and grandmother are still there, no matter what the relationship is, but this kind of thing still has to ask them to help manage it." ”

Hua Zhen's heart jumped when she heard this, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer.

The old princess didn't seem to expect Hua Zhen to answer, she paused after speaking, then waved her hand, and the little maids who were standing aside and waiting all retreated, only the two big maids who were waiting closely followed the old princess.

But they are all watching their hearts one by one, and no one is silent.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen thought of Qin Huai, and a bad thought flashed through her heart.

I listened to the old princess say: "To be honest, you are a good girl, when I first entered the palace to greet the queen mother, I saw you, and I also know that you have a good character, and you grew up in the queen's palace, you are a good one." It's just that Hua Yan went early, there is no one in this Hua family, and no one who has the support of his mother's family is just a good girl. Huai'er is the eldest son and grandson of my Dongjun Palace, and he will inherit the title of the palace in the future. You probably understand what I say?"

The old princess said and looked at Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen immediately lowered her head: "Zhen'er understands that Zhen'er knows that her status is low, and she never dares to think about those who don't deserve it. ”

Listening to Hua Zhen's words, the old princess sneered, I don't know whether to laugh at Hua Zhen or what she was laughing at.

just said: "Low status, if it's someone else, forget it, you said this is really a bit too much, although you can't compare to the princess, compared to ordinary famous girls, your status is already very high." Not to mention the title of the current county lord, which is the identity of the emperor's niece, there is no one who can compare with you, let alone the Ning family behind you. You really don't need to talk about status. ”

When Hua Zhen heard this, she didn't know what the old princess was thinking.

According to normal point of view, the old princess should have beaten her at this moment and told her to see her identity clearly, and not to think about Qin Huai.

But when she spoke according to this meaning, the old princess was like this, which suddenly made her very puzzled.

As if seeing Hua Zhen's puzzlement, the old princess sighed, and then said softly: "If the Hua family didn't have such a thing, according to your identity, it would be enough to accompany Huai'er." It's just that the Hua family has such a thing, after all, it makes the emperor suspicious, so if you marry into the Dongjun Palace, it will be inappropriate.

We all thought so, and we also warned Huai'er not to think about anything else, which is good for you and him. And in order to break his mind, he also specially set a family affair for him, but he didn't expect that he didn't even want his life in order to withdraw from this family affair and let us agree to marry you. I went to that wild place, just because of the emperor's words, if he can come back alive, he will agree to let him marry you. ”

Saying that, the old princess looked at Hua Zhen, and the look in her eyes was a little more angry, but she was also full of tears.

She was angry that Hua Zhen made Qin Huai even ignore death, and she also felt sorry for her grandson, who had suffered so much for a woman.

Hua Zhen didn't know what happened during Qin Huai's disappearance, and when she heard this, she only felt a shock in her heart, and she was a little stunned by the eyes of the old princess.

The old princess just glanced at Hua Zhen, as if she didn't want to look at her anymore: "Although I don't hate you, I don't approve of this family business, but I never thought that Huai'er could go so far for you." Hua Zhen, I have lived this life, even if I married the old prince, I never begged anyone, today I beg you, don't let Huai'er do this again. ”

"The old princess..."Hua Zhen saw the old princess like this, and quickly stood up.

The old princess waved her hand: "You don't have to say too much, since Huai'er is not married to you, we also admit it, and after your father's filial piety, I will find a good day to marry you, but I also hope you understand that the reason why you can enter the door of the Dongjun Mansion is not because of other reasons, it is completely my grandson's life in exchange, and I hope you will do it yourself in the future." ”

He waved his hand as he spoke, looking reluctant to say more.

The eldest maid who was waiting for her immediately walked up to Hua Zhen and blessed her body very respectfully: "County Lord, the old princess doesn't want to rest, please move." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen glanced at the old princess, whether she wanted to listen to it at the moment or not, she spoke very respectfully: "The old princess understands what Zhen'er means, and she also keeps in mind the life-saving grace of the eldest prince of Qin, and she will never dare to forget it, but there is one thing Zhen'er also hopes that the old princess will not misunderstand." ”

After a pause, he continued without humility or arrogance: "For Qin's eldest prince Zhen'er, she has never had any other thoughts, and she has never thought of entering the Dongjun Palace. As the old princess said, the eldest prince of Qin is the one who will inherit the title of Dongjun Wangfu in the future, and the eldest young lady of the Dongjun Wangfu wants to be able to complement the eldest prince, Zhen'er knows that she does not have that ability, she does not dare to ask for extravagance, and she is not willing to be involved in the circle that is not suitable for Zhen'er, and she also asks the old princess to forgive her. ”

said respectfully blessed the body, and turned around and left with Aunt Zhou.

The old princess didn't expect Hua Zhen to say these words, and suddenly looked at her with some astonishment, and she didn't recover for a long time.

The big girl on the side didn't expect that Hua Zhen would refuse to enter the Dongjun Mansion to do the things of the eldest young lady, and they were all shocked.

Seeing the old princess standing up, she hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"How can she refuse me, this is a great kindness, she can't figure it out, how can she refuse. The old princess said with a very ugly face.

Hua Zhen followed Aunt Zhou out and went directly to the kitchen.

After walking a long way, Aunt Zhou was very worried: "County Lord, the slave maid looks at the appearance of the old princess, I am afraid that she is going to set a family affair for the county lord and the eldest prince of Qin, if it is like this, Xiao Shizi's side..."

"No, I won't agree to it. Hua Zhen's face was very firm when she heard this, as if she would not be bothered by this matter at all.

Aunt Zhou couldn't say anything when she saw this.

Because of Hua Zhen's words, the old princess felt very faceless, and this matter was suppressed, and no one knew.

Even the king of Dongjun only knew that the old princess called Hua Zhen over and said a few words, but as for what she said, she couldn't ask.

Hua Zhen stayed in the Dongjun Palace, taking care of Qin Huai without undressing.

Because of the Empress Dowager's decree, even if she was worried about whether Xiao Huaijin would think too much, she could only ask Jiang Fu to go back and take a look and pass on a message.

But people dare not leave.

When Qin Huai was already able to get out of bed and walk around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The little eunuch sent by the Queen Mother allowed her to go back and change her clothes and rest.

When Hua Zhen and Aunt Zhou returned to the county lord's mansion, they only felt that their bodies were about to disperse after three days.

Because she was worried that Qin Huai's wound would recur, and the eunuchs beside the Queen Mother kept staring, she didn't sleep too well at night, just resting on the soft collapse outside the room, and had to get up in the middle of the night to check Qin Huai's wound.

It's really exhausting.

Qin Huai naturally felt distressed and wanted Hua Zhen to rest, but the Queen Mother's decree was there.

In addition, because of his weak body, he falls asleep most of the time, so only when he wakes up, Hua Zhen can rest.

Fortunately, this time has always passed.

Jiang Fu returned to the county lord's mansion early to prepare hot water, and wanted to wait for Hua Zhen to take a hot bath and rest.

But before Hua Zhen could enter the room and sit down, Xia Zhu came in very anxiously, and immediately knelt on the ground when he saw Hua Zhen.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen glanced at Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu understood, and instructed her mother-in-law to put down the hot water and go down first.

Xia Zhu then spoke: "The county lord is not good. ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Hua Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly.

Looking at Jiang Fu, I saw that Jiang Fu's face was a little ugly: "Just now, there was news from the sixth aunt, saying that the fourth lady is back." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's whole body shook violently, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground in shock: "What did you say?"

Xia Zhu was also shocked, and there was a look of disbelief on his face: "It was Aunt Six's personal maid Fu Hui who came to deliver the letter, there is absolutely no mistake, the fourth lady went back last night." And not only did the fourth lady go back, but there was also a woman next to Grandpa Guo, who was the eighth aunt who had just entered the door, and she seemed to be very familiar with Miss Four, and as soon as she entered the door, she lived in the peony garden of the eldest lady. ”
