Chapter 083: The Queen Mother's Thoughts
It was only a few steps from the temple to the carriage, but the pouring rain instantly drenched several people in soup.
The driver's eyes were white, and he could hardly see anything, but fortunately, Ling Xin had walked through it, and what he was best at marching and fighting was to remember the direction.
He rushed to the front, and it was almost noon when the team reached the nearest village.
The heavy rain does not mean to stop.
The inn in the village and town suddenly welcomed so many guests, and the smile on the shopkeeper's face never broke.
Hot water was brought into the room, Han Rui took a good bath, changed into dry clothes, but found that Rouge's face was pale.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted at Imperial Doctor Liu.
Imperial Doctor Liu came quickly, and immediately stuffed a pill into her mouth after taking the pulse of Rouge, and said solemnly: "Rouge girl can't get drenched in the rain anymore, she has a fever now, the old minister went to prescribe a prescription, and the princess immediately sent someone to grab the medicine." ”
At dusk, Rouge finally stopped having a fever after drinking the medicine, and Han Rui dared to go to the front yard of the inn to eat something after seeing that she was fine.
The shopkeeper couple made two tables and went to the back kitchen to steam steamed steamed buns.
After all, there are still a thousand people waiting outside to eat.
Hot porridge, served with a plate of beef sauce, drink it and warm your stomach.
Ling Xin stood with his hands in his hands, standing at the door and watching the downpour outside.
It wasn't until night fell that the rain outside showed signs of stopping.
Han Rui lay on the bed, touching a handful of rouge's forehead from time to time, she breathed evenly and slept very soundly.
The day after the rainstorm, there was no cloud, and Rouge's complexion was much better.
After drinking the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu, the soldiers who were infected with the wind and cold also improved.
Starting again, as soon as Han Rui got into the carriage, Ling Xin came to the side of the carriage: "Did the princess sleep peacefully last night?"
"I slept very well, I have Lao Hou Ye to worry about,"
Rouge covered her mouth and snickered.
Han Rui gave her a blank look.
Seeing that the capital was close at hand, Han Rui swept away the depression in her chest, opened the curtain and enjoyed the scenery all the way.
Five days later, the carriage finally arrived at the palace, and Han Rui went directly to see the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor without having time to change her face and clothes.
In Zhaoyang Palace, the Queen Mother was reviewing the recitals, and Ning Xiang was teaching the young emperor to read in the side hall, Han Rui signaled to the palace people not to be polite, and walked in quietly, probably pinching her throat.
"The slave knocked on the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother didn't raise her head: "What's the matter?"
Han Rui couldn't help but sneer, and when the Queen Mother saw her daughter coming back, she hurriedly threw her pen over and hugged her daughter.
"The princess of the mourning family is finally back, let the mourning family take a look. ”
She looked at Han Rui carefully, and raised her hand to signal Autumn Leaves: "Quickly order the dining room to make some food that the eldest princess likes." ”
Han Rui took out the secret recipes for the dishes he had eaten in Weicheng Restaurant and handed it to Qiu Ye: "Give this to the head of the imperial dining room, and let the dining room make a table based on this." ”
The Queen Mother was curious about what she handed over to Akiba.
She turned her head and hugged the queen mother's arm coquettishly: "This has to be kept secret just now, and the queen mother will know when she looks back and tastes it, it is a few dishes that Erchen has eaten in Weicheng, and she thinks it is very delicious and asks the cook for a recipe." ”
As he spoke, the young emperor got the news and came, he had grown a lot taller, and he already had the momentum of an emperor when he walked around.
"Sister Huang, you're back, the queen mother thinks about you every day. ”
Han Rui looked at Ning Xiang behind the young emperor, he was blessing himself to say goodbye.
"Ning Xiang, don't be polite," she took out Ning Ruoxue's emerald plum blossom hairpin from her sleeve, "This is what Miss Ning asked the palace to bring to Mrs. Ning." ”
Seeing the hairpin, Ning Xiang suddenly burst into tears, he bent down to take the hairpin with tears in his eyes, and his broad palm immediately clenched.
"Ruoxue, she didn't ask the princess to bring anything?"
However, I haven't seen him for just a few months, but I found that Ning Xiang seems to be much older.
"Miss Ning said that Mrs. Ning Xianghe forgot about her daughter. ”
Ning Xiang didn't even know that the hairpin was pierced, and stared at the things in his hand with empty eyes, as if it was his daughter.
Han Rui couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked people to bring Ning Qingquan in.
Along the way, Ning Qingquan was well taken care of, if he didn't open his mouth, he would still be that noble son.
As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor, and raised his head, and the father and son made eye contact.
Ning Xiang couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged his son.
"Ning Xiang and the second son will reunite after a long absence, let's take the second son back to the house first, and the imperial doctors will go to the house to check the pulse of the second son later. ”
The Queen Mother commanded softly.
Ning Xiang took his son to thank him again and again.
By the time they went out, the atmosphere in the temple had changed.
Han Rui immediately let Jiang Ting and Qi Yuan, who were waiting, in.
Jiang Ting sat down next to the Queen Mother after the salute, but Qi Yuan was so respectful that she didn't dare to breathe.
"Queen Mother, this is the sister of General Huwei, the defender of Bashu City, Miss Qi, who is skilled in bows and horses, and has strong kung fu, and she protects her sons and ministers along the way. ”
"It's a good boy, sit down. ”
She looked at Qi Yuan and asked with a smile, "I wonder how old Miss Qi is this year?"
Qi Yuan left the chair and replied respectfully: "The courtier is seventeen this year. ”
"Your father is loyal and patriotic, and he is a rare loyal minister, and when you enter Beijing this time, you will live in Churui Palace with the eldest princess. ”
This is a supreme grace.
However, Han Rui saw a bit of conspiracy from the Queen Mother's affection.
Because Qi Yuan wore a plain dress, the Queen Mother rewarded a lot of fabrics and jewelry, and the beautiful name was that girls should dress up brightly.
Returning to his own Churui Palace from Zhaoyang Palace, Chuhe got the news and was waiting at the door with someone, and behind him were the ladies who accompanied him in the palace.
Peonies are also among them.
"Greetings to the eldest princess. ”
"Get up quickly, and go in and sit with the main palace. ”
The Churui Palace, which had been silent for a month, suddenly became lively, and only Chuhe didn't say a few words except at the beginning.
Thinking of Ning Ergongzi's appearance, Han Rui felt a little sympathetic to her, "The fourth sister looks more and more beautiful." ”
Suddenly mentioning herself, the eldest princess of Chuhe's eyes lit up, and she was humble and praised Qi Yuan.
"Miss Qi is really a good color, look at this snowy skin. ”
It wasn't until Han Rui showed fatigue that everyone retreated one after another.
Princess Chuhe was called back by Begonia halfway through, and only two sisters were left in the palace at the moment.
She respectfully stepped forward and bowed: "Second sister, do you have something to say?"
This is the first time the two have met alone since the last time they separated.
She was worried in her heart, and she didn't know what Han Rui was looking for her.
Han Rui couldn't bear it in her heart, if Ning Ergongzi couldn't talk anymore in this life, then Chu He's relationship with him would definitely have to be stopped, maybe she would have the opportunity to marry her cousin Jiang Can, but looking at the affection of Qi Yuan after her mother, I was afraid that she wanted Qi Yuan to marry into the Jiang family.
As a result, her family affairs have become more and more bumpy.
"How are you in the palace during this time?"
