Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 44 Cinnabar (10)
She talked for a long time, and when she saw that Chu was silent and didn't say a word, she thought that he felt annoyed, so she obediently shut up, and after taking the medicine, she heard him say softly: "Before the princess's injury is healed, the princess will still be in the palace for some time, so as not to recur the wound....The medicine must also remember to wipe it...."
Hearing this, Jing Tan stared at him closely, and said, "I listen to Mr., is Mr. concerned about me?" ”
"Princess...," he stepped back without a trace, and warned her with his eyes not to be rude.
She distanced herself from him with interest, thought about it, and carefully asked the question that puzzled her for a long time: "I don't know if you don't think about the national teacher, how are you doing lately?" ”
While bandaging her, he replied, "It's quite healthy, why did the princess suddenly ask about this?" ”
"Oh, it's just that I haven't seen the national teacher in those days of Zhongyuan sacrifice, I heard that the national teacher has been sick, and I was a little worried, so I asked this question, but now I know that the national teacher is fine, and I feel at ease." Jing Tan felt that her words really covered the meaning of her inquiry, but how should she open her mouth to ask Mo Su....
"I heard that Wu Nian became the national teacher of the Celestial Empire at a young age, what about his family before he became a monk?"
Chu Silence once again distanced himself from her without a trace, and said slowly: "My parents are not from the Central Plains, so I grew up in the west when I was young, and then when the war broke out in the Central Plains, the master came to the Central Plains, and there were many believers along the way, and later after the new emperor ascended the throne, he became a national teacher." ”
"And then?" Jing Tan anxiously inquired about the past.
"Later, the poor monk did not know why, the master left Yong'an after a few years of national teacher in Yong'an, ran around, and then adopted the poor monk, because the poor monk was weak since childhood, he was taken by the master to the west, and when he came back, the master contracted the disease, so he unloaded the affairs of the national teacher, and has been recuperating in the mountains, and has not gone down the mountain."
"No wonder the world has rumored that the national teacher has passed away....." As soon as the words came out, she knew that she had lost her words, and hurriedly apologized: "Jing Tan offended the national teacher, and Jing Tan knew her mistake." ”
"It doesn't matter." He was helpless.
"Sir, I have a word, I don't know whether to ask or not...", and after receiving his gaze, she continued: "Is Mr. familiar with Mo Su?" ”
Without thinking, he said, "I'm not familiar." ”
Jing Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Mr. was not familiar with him, "What about the national teacher?" Na Mo Su robbed the prison on the day of Zhongyuan, and the fire in Yong'an Mansion was inseparable from her. ”
Chu Shi listened, frowned and said: "I know that she is not a good person, but I don't know that she actually acts like this, the national teacher has never said her identity, and the poor monk is not good to ask." ”
Come to think of it, for Mr. Yu, the national teacher may be a father-like existence....
Thinking of yesterday's incident, she asked, "Sir, I was outside the palace before, and I was quite puzzled by some things..."
He smiled kindly, "the princess said. ”
"Sir, is it true that 'all beings are equal'?"
"When the princess asked this question, she must have encountered something unfair, which triggered this feeling." Seeing her nodding blankly, he said softly: "The words 'all beings are equal' are not empty words, but if the world really said this, there would not be so many temple monks. ”
On the contrary, if all sentient beings are truly treated equally, how can there be monks who persuade people to be kind.
He then said with his hands: "The poor monk knows that his ability is limited, and he only hopes that the people he meets can understand the sentence 'all living beings are equal', even if he cannot understand it, he can always worry about it." ”
Knowing that the dignity and inferiority rooted in her bones are difficult to change, including herself, she also has this concept of dignity and inferiority to a greater or lesser extent, but Mr. has changed her, hasn't he, not only her, but also more people....Jingtan looked at him, and for some reason suddenly remembered the word 'piety', with the influence of Mr., Mr. will not be careless...
Jing Tan looked at him with a smile, followed his example, folded his hands and said, "Although I can't understand it, I can be regarded as always worried about it, can I be regarded as a believer of Mr.?" ”
Chu Silence was amused by her really not standard namaste, and couldn't help but reach out to correct it for her.
Her combined hands were touched by his slightly cool fingertips, and for a moment the scene of the day when she opened the window popped up in her mind, and for a while she withdrew her hand like an electric shock.
Seeing this, Chu Silence hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" Is the wound painful? ”
Jing Tan hurriedly shook his head, wanting to clear those pictures out of his mind, secretly annoyed with his own cowardice, came back to his senses and listened to his words, nodded again, and urged him to say: "I want to ask Mr. for more Xi and ointment." ”
Chu Lonely smiled, took out the Xi and the ointment on his body, and chuckled: "I'll have more when I go back." ”
She finally smiled with relief: "Then I'll wait." ”
After school, Jing Tan remembered to give a horse, so he instructed Ah Heng to choose a few good horses to send to the post station where Jia Ming lived, Ah Heng agreed to go, Jing Tan went straight to the Cuiwen Palace, since his father handed over most of the state affairs to Li Yu, for administrative convenience, Li Yu lived in the Cuiwen Palace for half of the year.
"I heard a few days ago that my eldest brother is not in good health, but today I feel better?"
As soon as Jing Tan stepped into the side hall, a pungent smell of medicine came to her face, this is how much medicine she has taken, even the air is full of medicine.
"See the third princess, go back to the princess, the eldest prince just drank the medicine and just fell asleep." The salute was Li Yu's close attendant, Ah Zhong, who carried the medicine residue in his hand and seemed to be about to pour it out.
Jing Tan hurriedly lowered her voice and asked, "It seems that I didn't come at the right time, big brother has been getting better lately?" ”
"Today, I can still correct the excerpts sent by Mr. Gao, which is much better than a few days ago!" You can hear the joy between his words.
"Then you can take care of this big brother, and I'll come to see him another day." As he spoke, he was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the people inside.
"But the third sister is here?" The voice is a little weak to listen to.
Ah Zhong respectfully said inside: "Back to Your Highness, it's the third princess." ”
"Third sister come in."
Seeing this, Ah Zhong had no choice but to hand over the medicine residue to another little eunuch and invite Jingtan in.
I saw Li Yu half-leaning on the bed, a few cases were set up on the couch, and countless notes were placed on the case, Jingtan secretly sighed: I'm afraid it's not because of too much political affairs to get tired and sick....
Seeing her coming, Li Yu hurriedly instructed Ah Zhong to move a chair for her.
Jing Tan looked at him worriedly, maybe it was because he drank the medicine, his face was slightly red, but he was weak when he spoke, leaning on the edge of the bed, and he couldn't get out of bed even if he thought about it, so he moved the fold to the bed.
He pulled out a smile, "It's okay, I'm not that sick yet." ”
"Why is the eldest brother sick and still looking at the excerpts, how can this disease be cured like this, although he is busy with government affairs, the eldest brother also takes care of his own body." Speaking of taking care of herself, if Li Yu had a caring person by his side, how could she persuade him like this, saying that Li Yu has always loved purity, and he only nests in the study all day long, and he doesn't talk and laugh with others, just blindly reading and reading, so compared to Li Yu, these sisters love to be close to Li Yu.
"Third sister, I got a picture of Hanmei a few days ago, and I left it for you because I thought you loved Mei." And as he spoke, he commanded them to go and get the painting.
Jingtan handed him a cup of tea, and quipped: "Big brother, don't worry about these things anymore, it's right to recuperate with peace of mind, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a few days, I heard that this year's crabs are all big, if the big brother doesn't get better soon, the big brother's share will be eaten by me!" ”
I saw him laugh and say, "Isn't it you who eat the most every year...."
She pouted, "When will the big brother learn to tease me?" ”
He suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the third sister's Hanmei picture is actually excellent, but it has not been able to convey God, these days I suddenly thought, in fact, it's not that the painting is not bad, but that the sister wants to paint more than plum blossoms?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.
Hearing this, Jingtan bowed her head and said nothing, indeed, her Hanmei picture, the center of the painting, was not a plum blossom, but a husband....how could she say this....
He didn't ask, just looked at her meaningfully and said, "You don't say who it is, you have your own reason, the third sister has now grown into a big girl." ”
Jing Tan frowned slightly, she said that she didn't quite understand what he was talking about.
While speaking, Ah Zhong took the scroll over, because Li Yu was sick, she didn't want to bother too much, took the picture and gave a few words, and then came out.
Just as he was about to leave the side hall, he happened to catch a glimpse of a wood rhinoceros in the corner of the wall not far away, and it had withered at this time.
Jing Tan couldn't help but murmur: "It's obviously golden autumn and September, this wood rhinoceros is so withered...."When I looked closer, there was a pool of black medicine residue rooted in the ground.
"The medicine that His Highness drinks is very strong, and the plant will naturally not be able to support the withering after receiving that medicine."
Jingtan turned around, only to see Ah Zhong standing behind her and bowing down to explain.
"Your Royal Highness's medicinal food and boiled medicine are all poured elsewhere, I think it was the slave who didn't know how to be interested, and he actually fell in the courtyard in a grand manner, and he stained the eyes of the third princess."
"It's okay, I'm just curious, is the eldest brother's medicinal properties so strong, does it hurt the body?"
He replied again: "Your Highness wants to get better quickly, so he ordered the imperial doctor to order two doses of fierce medicine, but the princess can rest assured, the imperial doctor said that it will be fine." ”
Jing Tan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good, you take care of it, Your Highness has your own benefits." ”
When I got out of the Cuiwen Palace, I saw Ah Heng, thinking that he had been waiting here for a long time.
Ah Heng replied: "Lord Jiaming is not at the post station, the slave just handed over those horses to other envoys. ”
Jing Tan nodded and said, "I want to go where to hang out, he is quite leisurely." ”
"It's just that it's not going well, how can I meet the third sister here."
As soon as Jing Tan stepped out of the side hall, he met Yabai.
"I've seen the second sister."
Yabai reluctantly returned a salute to her.
Jing Tan looked behind her, bringing a lot of nourishing items, thinking that she had come to see Li Yu, she couldn't help but remind her: "Big brother uses medicine every day, this ginseng and meat mushroom are afraid that they are not replenished, it is better to change some stomach-nourishing things." ”
She snorted, "As far as you know, I can't take these things back." ”
Jing Tan rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't mean that either." Suddenly remembered the agarwood incense, so he asked: "The agarwood incense I have there is a good thing, I don't know where the second sister got it." ”
"Speaking of this, I'm angry, my eldest sister has a good thing and thinks about you first, and I can't even take care of my usual love to burn Shenshui incense, so I let it be given to you."
It turned out to be like this, but why did it suddenly give it to her, shouldn't it be her own sister first?
"Sister don't be angry, aren't the best incense in the incense courtyard sent to the Kangning Palace, my sister is still afraid that there will be no good incense." Jing Tan knew the temper of her second sister, and she didn't want to say anything more to her.
"This is natural!" As he spoke, he ignored her and went straight to the Triemon Palace.
