Chapter 35: His Royal Highness the Prince
After arriving in Wanzhong City, she raised her eyes to look at everything in this city, the scene here was very different from Jinyun City, and it was also very different from the Qin Capital in her memory.
Although it is the capital, it is not necessarily very lively, but it looks a little depressed in the long snowy sky. There are only a handful of ordinary people who come and go, and they all wrap themselves tightly, only showing a pair of eyes to look at the world.
A chill hit, she couldn't help curling up her body, and sighed in her heart with some trembling: "It's so cold." ”
Jiang Ning saw that her face was already red from the cold, and when he held her hand, there was a burst of coldness in an instant, and he said with concern: "Don't freeze and get sick." After speaking, he reached out and pinched her clothes tightly, frowned and continued to ask, "Why didn't you bring some thick clothes to Yudu?" ”
Only then did she react, where could she take care of these things at that time, and she only wanted to go to Yudu as soon as possible and find out the truth behind it as soon as possible.
Her teeth chattered a little with coldness, and the breath she exhaled had turned a misty white haze. She could only keep rubbing her hands, trying to make them warmer, but it felt like nothing was going on.
Jiang Ning rummaged through her luggage, found a fairly thick jacket, draped it on her body, and then carefully buttoned her clothes.
The warmth was born, she felt much better, and looked at Jiang Ning with grateful eyes, "Thanks to you, otherwise I might have died of cold before I entered the palace." ”
"What are you talking about, we can go back when the things are delivered." Jiang Ning blocked her and looked thoughtfully at the palace not far from the window.
At this moment, the moving carriage stopped suddenly, Jiang Ning almost fell down without sitting firmly, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning's arm.
She was about to look to see what was happening, but she saw a group of soldiers already surrounding them, led by a hideous-looking general, who asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" Why did you come to my middle city? ”
The guards outside the car reported one by one, took out the pass token and handed it to the man, but the general did not give up, and continued to ask contemptuously: "What about your lordship?" Just a few inconspicuous people, how can you let you enter the palace? ”
Damn, Tao Xuanju hasn't come back yet.
Everyone had no choice but to stand still, and after a long stalemate, the general spoke again: "Don't get in the way here, no matter where you adults go, don't allow idle people to wait in the city to make trouble." ”
"This man is too arrogant and unreasonable." She unconsciously said indignantly, and was about to lift the curtain and go out to reason with the man.
But he heard the generals respectfully bow: "His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates are driving them away." ”
So she lifted the curtain, and saw that the carriage was wrapped in silk on all sides, and even the windows seemed to be inlaid with gold and inlaid treasures, and were covered by a curtain of golden crepe, and gently lifted a corner, and the whole body exuded a sense of grace and luxury.
The general lay in front of the carriage, as if receiving some instructions, but the distance was a little too far to be heard.
Soon the general replied with a little surprise, "What? The subordinates understood. ”
The general strode to the front of the carriage and said in a mocking tone: "Even if you have hit the luck, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you can go to his mansion to rest for a while, and wait for your lordship." ”
The guards of the group were obviously frightened, and the prince's mansion in Yudu could be gone if they said they could go. But the will could not be disobeyed, and after thanking him, he followed the prince's family towards the mansion.
The carriage began to move again, and Jiang Ning praised: "The prince of this Yudu is kind, I didn't expect him to be so humble and corporal to ordinary people like us." ”
"The prince of Yudu is as warm as ......," she said to herself, attracting the attention of the flowers.
"I'm afraid this prince will become Wen Yeting's opponent in the future." Hanama then sighed.
"It is recorded in the history books that this Wen Yan is as benevolent as a house, but he is frail and sickly, and he has no talent to govern the country. Later, he fell seriously ill and died, and it was Wen Yeting's turn to compete with the second prince Wen Jingfan for the position of prince. ”
"According to what you say, Wen Yeting is very likely to ascend to the throne?" Hanama was delighted, if this was the case, then Wen Yeting had finally realized his ambition.
"I don't know exactly how Wen Yeting ascended the throne, but this battle for the throne has always been the most dangerous power struggle, and he must have to pay some price."
There is another sentence that she didn't tell Hanama that this throne brought to Wen Yeting was not as supreme glory as she imagined. In fact, in his later years, he had long lost interest in Yudu and the world. In the end, he was killed by his nephew, but he didn't even have a descendant to collect his body.
But if this is the wish of the flowers, if this is the inevitability of history, how can she change it?
She is just a ghost who has strayed into this era, and what position does she have to decide other people's lives?
While pondering, she unconsciously arrived outside the prince's mansion, and she followed everyone towards the hall. This mansion is not as magnificent as she imagined, but a little more quiet and elegant, presumably this Wen Yanru is a person who avoids the hustle and bustle.
The family took them to a side house, made a stove for them, and heated tea.
Jiang Ning's uncontrollable admiration came out again, "The people in this prince's mansion are so kind, and they don't have a little arrogance at all. ”
She smiled and teased Jiang Ning, "It seems that you are very satisfied with the prince." ”
Jiang Ning was so anxious that her face turned red, and she covered her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, if you hear this kind of words, you will be killed." ”
She nodded, removed Jiang Ning's hand, picked up a cup of hot tea and rubbed it, and then drank it to warm her stomach.
I don't know how long it took, the northern border of this early winter was approaching night, she couldn't sit still, and said to Jiang Ning on the side: "I'll go out and ask." ”
As soon as she stood up, the door opened, and a maid-like girl whispered, "Your Highness has asked you to go to the front hall." ”
"To the Frontrooms?" She had doubts in her heart, although this warmth was like an ancient way of hot intestines, but it was inevitably too informal.
But when they went to the front hall, they found that Tao Xuanju was already sitting in the hall waiting for their arrival. After taking a few steps forward, Wen Yanru's face came into view, his bleak face was like a delicate flower that had been beaten by snow, and his slender eyes were like the moon and stars.
Everyone was about to say goodbye to Wen Yanru, but as soon as the words fell, Wen Yanru raised her eyes, looked at her and said, "This girl stays." ”
She looked left and right, Jiang Ning stood on her left, and that gaze was coming towards her, so she stretched out a finger, pointed at herself, and asked a little incredulously, "Me?" ”
Wen Yanru smiled, and the corners of his mouth had a shallow curvature, "Yes, it's you." ”
She was puzzled, why did she leave her inexplicably, and dared to ask again: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”
Tao Xuanju heard that she didn't know what to do like this, and scolded with blood-red eyes: "Bold! ”
Wen Yanru waved his hand to stop Tao Xuanju's anger, paced in front of her, looked at her eyes a little condescendingly, and replied softly: "I heard that the people of Yuhuatai have a group of flowers, I want to ask the girl for advice." ”
She couldn't help but laugh at the sight in front of her, and thought, "Hanama, your shell is my biggest obstacle." ”
But I only heard Huajian reply a little shyly: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe the prince really wants to ask for advice." ”
"Who doesn't understand a man's careful thinking, there are many excuses." She scolded again in her heart, "I want to see what the hell this Wen Yanru is doing." ”
Jiang Ning left the prince's mansion with Tao Xuanju, and glanced at her when he left, and his eyes were slightly melancholy.
After everyone left, Wen Yanru led her to the back garden and took her all the way to stop and stop, but did not ask questions. She was hungry now, and where did she have the heart to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, so she had to pretend to be respectful and wait.
"Girl, I haven't asked you what your name is." After a long time, Wen Yanru finally asked.
Before she could speak, her stomach answered for her, gurgling. She covered her mouth a little embarrassed and replied vaguely, "Stone path you." ”
Wen Yanru laughed out loud very happily, "Blame me, it's me who snubbed the girl." Then he commanded the man beside him, "Go and prepare the meal." ”
She scratched the back of her neck, feeling that she was indeed a little embarrassed at the moment, but she couldn't take care of it so much, and it was important to eat. After thanking Wen Yanru, she turned around and wanted to follow the maid to the side room to eat.
Who knew that Wen Yanru stopped her, "What's the hurry?" Join me later. ”
"Huh?" She couldn't help but exclaim, and felt rude, and hurriedly added, "How can the villain be virtuous, it really torments me." ”
"Don't say anything like that again." Wen Yan had a rare color at this time, and then sat on the stone seat next to him, panting softly.
"It seems that he is not very sick......" she sighed in her heart.
The servant hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, it is windy at night, let's go into the house." With that, he stepped forward to help Wen Yanru and walked towards the hall not far away, and she followed behind her silently.
The two of them ate in the same room, but there was no one else, she felt strange, didn't this Wen Yanru take a concubine and marry a concubine?
Wen Yanru in front of him didn't say a word, only chewed the food in his mouth slowly, coughed a few times from time to time, and was so startled that the next person hurriedly handed over the tea.
She finally couldn't bear it, and asked with the strength of wine: "I wonder if His Highness is willing to let the villain diagnose it?" ”
Wen Yanru's eyes were a little brighter, but the light quickly dimmed, "The doctor who diagnosed me, not to mention tens of thousands, but there are still hundreds, even thousands." ”
"That's not bad for me." Before she could reply, she stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist, his pulse was weak, and his qi and blood were weak.
"You can give it a try." She said the words of the flowers as they were, and listened to Wen Yanru.
"Really?" Wen Yanru's tone could not hide the joy, just like the mood every time he heard the doctor say this, but there was also the same thing that ended up without a problem after every attempt.
When she returned to the house, she wrote down the recipe according to the instructions of the flowers, and she held it up and muttered to herself in the candlelight, "I seem to be nosy." ”
"Repay him for his kindness today. What's more......" Hua Jian replied, pausing again, "What's more, he is also Wen Yeting's brother." ”
She smiled and teased: "Sure enough, among the flowers, you still care about Wen Yeting the most." ”
There was silence for a long time, and in this dark night, the earnest prayer of the flowers sounded, "If only I could come back to life again, it would be good." If I can't, then I hope you can. ”
But do I have to like Wen Yeting?
