Chapter 5: The Drunken Prince's Tragic Past
"Ahem, cough, cough......" I finally couldn't help but speak, "Three sisters, why did you come here today?" ”
Qiao, who was wearing a pink shirt and a fashionable bun in Kyoto, replied with a dry laugh, "There's nothing to do, I just want to ask Madame, has the prince not gone to bed in Xinyuan for three or five days?" ”
Oh yes? Why didn't I find out? How do I think he was still in the study last night and grabbed the table with me?
"Yes, madam, the prince has not returned to Xinyuan for five days!" Xiao Jiu reminded me eagerly in my ear.
I "ate and slept together" with this guy in Xinyuan, I shouldn't know that he didn't return for five days, otherwise wouldn't it be the fact that he was sitting on the surface..."husband and concubine"? If it spreads again, there may be some rumors!
I hurriedly made up nonsense, "The prince has been busy with business recently, and there are people who often don't return, and when the prince comes back, I must tell him that your sisters have come, let him ......visit them one by one."
If the three ancestors don't leave, if they continue to chat, I will be exposed!
"Busy with business? Madame, doesn't you know that the prince has not gone out for five days in Ruyan Pavilion? Xiao Wu looked suspicious.
The first sentence is exposed? Oh my God, the gold finger is only opened once?
"If the prince doesn't go back to the house, it's just that, if he does, he will be there...... What does the prostitute who welcomes the door after seeing it once not go out of the room, what kind of words do it say? Not to be outdone, Xiao Wang continued to talk.
Co-author: I'm here to administer justice? Everyone shut up, won't it be impossible to spread it?
"Everyone, it's not that I'm incompetent, I really can't be the lord of the prince......"
Yes, I'm incompetent! How can I be the lord of the king? Ren Zifeng has asked me to provoke less like a smoke pavilion, what's the use of you coming over to arch the fire?
Before I could finish my expression, the three ancestors got up, completely losing the respect they had when they first entered the house, and their eyes all said "It turns out that you are really useless", and then walked mercilessly with swaying steps.
Sure enough, when it is used by others, the wife is long and the wife is short, and when I find that people are not energetic, they call people useless, the world is hot and cold, the world is hot and cold!
I was feeling the ruthlessness of this wave of ancestors, and Zifeng came to the door.
"The little guy next to the prince said that you have a good hangover tea?" She drove straight into the road and didn't talk nonsense.
"Yes, there are some, but ......"
"Then take some out—"
You're welcome.
I asked Xiao Jiu to turn out two jars, and after handing them to her, I instructed, "Remember to put honey when cooking, so that it is more ......."
"Good to know, thank you—" She interrupted me, and was about to leave, but after about two steps and turned back, "Can you use medical skills, acupuncture?" ”
"Understand—"
"Do you have an acupuncture object in your hand?"
"When I entered the house, I brought a pair-"
"Alright, I've got something like a smoke pavilion - I'll go first-"
After finishing speaking, he immediately disappeared - really, he was worthy of being the person next to the prince.
Xiao Jiu is helping me find something to do at this time, and at the same time, what he said is fragmented, is there a situation? So under my coercion and temptation, I confessed the truth.
It turned out that I didn't know, and the house was already full of gossip!
Xiao Jiu said that according to the gossip she mastered, it was about the prince's Bai Yueguang who was crowned a concubine by the current saint, and as soon as she got the edict, the woman couldn't wait to enter the palace, and the emperor decreed that the concubine ceremony would be held in January! When the prince got the news, he was a little upset, because "Ruyan Pavilion" has always been understanding, so he went to eliminate his sorrows.
I asked her why she didn't talk to me about such nice gossip.
Xiao Jiu cried with a sad face and said that I was miserable enough, how could she make matters worse and sprinkle salt on her wounds! Naturally, you have to be able to hide it for a while! It's just enough to say that I'm not favored, do you still have to watch people fall in love? Isn't the gentle township that I am looking for after seeing other people's liver and intestines broken? It's the first time she's met such a miserable master!
It's really a good little nine for me!
After the things were prepared and the cause and effect were fully grasped, Xiao Jiu led the way and led me to Ruyan Pavilion.
Oh, no wonder people can't walk here!
For example, although the smoke pavilion is built in the palace, there is no difference between the independent courtyard of the rich and noble, the duplex small building, the yard is covered with rockery, the scene is unique, even the door is made of precious shirt wood.
Like a hillbilly in the countryside, I followed Xiao Jiu step by step, walked through the lobby, and went up to the second floor, only to see our drunken Ling Wangye spread out on the bed, only to see Zifeng persistently feeding hangover tea - although it was a spoonful and half a spoonful.
"Why is it good if you can't drink it? Why don't you get a doctor? The woman standing next to her anxiously came up with an idea.
"Doctor, please? How many people are staring at King Ling's Mansion! If something goes wrong, will you bear it? Zifeng said and handed another mouthful to the drunkard prince's mouth, but she still missed most of the spoonful, she finally lost her patience and started a temper, "Miss Ruyan, why don't you persuade some?" The prince usually treats you well, let him drink like this, do you want to send him away? ”
Poof, I couldn't help but laugh out loud in the bottom of my heart.
Suddenly, all eyes were on me—what? I can't smile in my heart?
I saw that the girl who was like smoke also turned around, and I saw her true face - I think that in addition to the elegant environment here that attracts the prince, the fairy daughter inside is also always growing in his heart. Oh man.
Xiao Jiu tugged at the corner of my clothes and wrinkled his face, "Madam...... It's a bit inappropriate for you to laugh at this time......"
So yes, I laughed out loud without paying attention?!
"Ah, everyone, I'm here to give acupuncture to the prince......" I shook the medicine box in my hand and smiled awkwardly to start the topic.
Fortunately, no one cared, and Zifeng flashed aside to make room for me.
I strode forward and got to work.
"Wait, she's—" The Smoke Girl stopped me.
"She's... She is the life-saving immortal of the prince! Please take a step back-" Zifeng dragged her back impatiently, and the two of them almost stacked an arhat.
Poofha
There are always people who are out of place, and this time it was Xiao Jiu who laughed out loud.
Sure enough, we are master and servant.
Finally entered the treatment link, I only went down three acupuncture points, and before I showed my real strength, the prince stared at him in a daze, and asked for water, I brought the hangover tea, poured it in, and after a stick of incense, he finally returned to his complexion and became conscious.
I stretched out two fingers and asked, "How much is this?" ”
The person on the bed opened his eyes tiredly, glanced at me, as if looking at a crazy person, and then skipped my question, looked at Zifeng, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did she come?" ”
Zifeng saw that this person had finally woken up, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, and he pounced, "Lord Wang!" You're finally awake! If you want to go, Zifeng will follow! ”
"When are you ...... Mother-in-law is also like this? He said as he raised his hand to her shoulder to soothe.
At this time, there was a sobbing sound behind him, the voice was not loud, but it was pitiful, "If the prince is gone, he will never live alone like smoke!" ”
Don't be like this, you guys live well, don't curse people like this in person!
"I'll be fine... You've worked hard for the past few days......"
It's very hard, try hard to send you away, can it not be hard?
At such a happy moment, I seemed to be extremely redundant on the sidelines, so I said goodbye, "That... Everyone is fine, why don't I step back first? ”
"How did she get here?"
Now it's okay, the drunkard prince is back to the first question.
Miss Zifeng stepped forward to explain, "I helped Mrs. buy some herbs a few days ago, and I know that Mrs. understands some pharmacology, so I invited Mrs. to take a look at the prince's body, this time thanks to Mrs.'s acupuncture and hangover tea——"
Thank you so much for taking credit for me—but why is this guy projecting at me with a look of coldness and disgust in his eyes? - I've saved an enemy!
"The doctor can save the wounded and save the life, but he can't save the heart of the person, the prince doesn't care for himself, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't snatch the resurrection pill from the dead-" I said and began to pull out the needle on his forehead, and then quickly received it in the medicine box, wanting to take advantage of his lack of strength to draw the sword, and sneak up first.
"Thanks—" As soon as I turned around, he squeezed out a thank you from between his teeth, and he looked weak, and he didn't care when he heard it!
"The prince is a person who does great things, and he has his own considerations about which is more important, although it is difficult to choose, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible." After I finished speaking, I quickened my pace and slipped away with Xiao Jiu.
At this point, don't look for death and life anymore - I really can't figure out how people whose ambitions are the world are stumped by their children's love are more useless than me!
However, after this battle, Xiao Jiu admired me - our revolutionary friendship soon escalated, and then I heard more "royal insiders".
It turned out that Prince Ling's mother and the current holy queen mother were sisters, and the two sisters once served the emperor together. When the first emperor was killed, Prince Ling was still killing the enemy on the battlefield, and when he returned to Chang'an, the first emperor had been buried, and the new emperor was also proclaimed in the court. After Prince Ling's mother met him, she also went with the first emperor, although she was posthumously crowned the imperial concubine on the spot, but Prince Ling also lost his mother forever. Later, a few months later, the temperament of the current saint changed greatly, degraded many people, and the best brother in the past gradually drifted away, and finally on Zhou Lingqing's eighteenth birthday, he was named the hussar general, and sent him to the bitter cold land outside the pass. In the fifth year of the border pass, Zhou Lingqing ransomed Ruyan from the prostitution parlor and came back, and at this time there were already three concubines sent by local officials in the house, which was originally two women and one play, now it's okay, four women have two plays, fortunately, this girl like smoke thinks of herself as high, and does not fight with the three of them, and often closes the door and does not see guests, unless the prince returns to the house, she brushes her sense of existence. Later, life went on like this, until this year, the saint remembered the affection of flesh and blood, and forcibly sent Prince Ling back to Chang'an.
Tsk, I don't know if Xiao Jiu has added oil and vinegar, but it sounds like Zhou Lingqing is also miserable......
