Chapter Ninety-Four: She's My Man
Every morning, the palace concubines will come to the queen's palace on time to say goodbye, and the concubines are naturally no exception.
So in the past few days, I have been especially surprised to leave the concubine, and the concubine next to her who is lower than herself glanced at her with disdain, "Sister Guifei has been sick for a long time, and even the time of asking for peace has been exempted, if I don't come again, I will forget Sister Guifei."
Li Guifei lowered her eyes and said with a light smile: "I am not feeling well, Your Majesty and the queen mother are kind and kind, let me have a good birth and recuperate, and the concubine is also very grateful."
The queen sat on the main seat, watching the two go back and forth, and as soon as she returned from the concubine, she asked out loud, "How is the concubine's health?" It's okay to recuperate."
The concubine who left the concubine saw that the queen had taken the conversation, so she stopped closing her mouth, and the concubine hurriedly got up and bowed: "If you go back to the mother, it's much better."
"That's good, the happy event in the palace is approaching, and the expedient girl will kiss you more, and you need to worry more about her marriage."
The queen raised the corners of her mouth, although she was concerned and appreciative, she couldn't hear the slightest kindness from the concubine.
She got up and just sat in her place, and the mother-in-law behind her came up with tea and offered it to the palace mothers, and when she came to her, she habitually stretched out her hand to pick it up, and the corner of the mother-in-law's mouth hooked, and the tea bowl fell down
The hot tea instantly burned the hands of the concubine red, and there was some peeling, and the concubine exclaimed, and the old lady immediately squatted down and asked her for guilt: "Niangniang forgives the sin, it is the old slave who is dizzy for a while, you punish the slave, right?"
The old lady is the queen's person, and a moment of negligence is also negligence, but the blame is that the queen is silent and quietly watches the farce happen.
Concubine Li guessed that the queen was deliberately embarrassed, got up and asked her to get up, squatted down to ask the queen for her guilt, the queen's eyes narrowed, and she stroked the tea bowl with the tea lid unhurriedly.
"The concubine has asked you to get up, get up, be careful in the future, and don't go to find medicine to apply medicine to the concubine."
The old lady said yes, took the tray and went down, and soon came up with the medicine box, and looked at the concubine with great sincerity, "Concubine, you take care of me, the old slave, my hands and feet are not light or heavy, if it hurts you, please bear with me."
Concubine Li hesitated and stretched out her hand, and was dragged over, and the medicine was also as she said, deliberately pressing the broken skin, Concubine Li gritted her teeth, and her ears were full of low laughter and discussion from other concubines.
When she went back, her right hand was wrapped in a cotton cloth, which was treated, and she sweated in pain, and the personal maid took out a silk handkerchief to help her wipe off the sweat, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's obviously deliberate, deliberately scalding you, and taking medicine is also exerting strength, causing you to sweat so much, isn't it that your son became the prince."
"Cailian, be careful!" Li Guifei scolded, shook her head at the maid, although she was not convinced, she was afraid that she would be killed because of her words, so she pouted dissatisfiedly and did not speak again.
Expedient was already waiting outside the concubine's house, and when he saw her come back, he stepped forward and took her hand affectionately, and hissed at the concubine, expedient was a little strange, and looked down at the hand he was holding. Concubine Li withdrew her hand without showing a look, trying to change the topic: "You have something to do with me?"
"What's wrong with your hand, what are you hiding?" Quan Quan felt that something was wrong, and took her hand strongly, and saw the hand wrapped in cotton, and the concubine smiled and comforted her:
"Hongu is fine."
"It's okay, mother, just tell the princess the truth!" Cai Lian behind him couldn't help it anymore, and finally found someone to talk to, turned his head to look at the expedient, and bowed: "In the past few days, the queen mother and those concubines have changed the law to bully the mother, and today they deliberately spilled the tea and burned the mother, and when they took the medicine, they also made their faces all over the face, and the pain made the mother sweat."
"Cailian, why are you talking so fast?" Concubine Li reproached softly.
Quan Yi's brows furrowed, and he put his hand on the concubine and instructed Cai Yue, "Go get the medicine box, I'll wipe the medicine for the concubine again."
"I'm fine, don't listen to Cailian's nonsense." Concubine Li sat down with Quan Yi, and saw that she didn't look at the cotton cloth for herself, and was in a depressed mood and comforted.
Expedacy looked up, "You always are
In this way, it is obvious that you have been wronged and comforted me, the queen thinks that you are *** holding the marriage and stealing her limelight in front of your father, she is coming at me, and it has affected you."
"You are, or you love to think so much, not because of you, she doesn't have a good attitude towards me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the expedient helped her re-medicate, moving gently for fear of hurting the concubine, and the concubine looked at the girl who bowed her head and seriously medicated herself, and still remembered that she was still a child, and when she met herself, she hid behind her mother with her head down, and she became familiar with it after seeing a lot, but she didn't expect that she was going to get married in the blink of an eye, and that person would be relieved to know it in heaven.
She reached out to stroke the shredded hair that had fallen from her face, and helped her to cut it behind her ear, and Convenience felt lift it up and smile gently.
Expedient carefully wrapped it in cotton cloth and tied a bow, and when she looked down at the concubine, she couldn't help laughing, "This bandaging technique was also learned from your mother?"
Expedient nodded, "Well, when I was a child, I was always easy to get hurt, and my mother wrapped such a bow to coax me in order to coax me."
She said sincerely, with joy in her eyes, as if she had returned to that time, and her thoughts were brought up, and she was inexplicably a little hurt.
Away from the concubine's eyes, she lined up her hand to soothe, and seemed to remember something, and opened her mouth to remind the expedient, "Don't tell your second emperor brother about today's matter, you are both impatient, I'm afraid......
Quan Yiyi nodded clearly, "I know, the second emperor brother can't see you being wronged, and you are also worried, I won't say it."
"You have something to do with me today, if you don't wait to get married obediently, you will really become an adult in two days."
"On the day of my wedding, I want you to come and see me off and comb my hair." Only then did Expedient remember the purpose of today's visit, held the hand that was not burned from the concubine, and sincerely invited.
It was also a great surprise to leave the concubine, I didn't expect her to come to me because of this.
Since ancient times, most women in the capital have to perform hairpin rites and comb hair ceremonies when they get married, and this ceremony is generally carried out by their mothers, and the palace is carried out by their own mothers, and the absence of the mother concubine is the high queen who suffers.
It is expedient that the queen will not like herself, and it will not be good to avenge her girl behind her back and make a stumbling block for herself. And Concubine Li is like a biological mother to her, and the emperor didn't say anything when she came.
Concubine Li's love caressed her Lian, and smiled gently: "Okay, Concubine Li's mother promised you."
Wanke comes.
Hua Xiaoliu ushered in a group of uninvited guests today, and the guards in gold armor and red clothes each held swords, scaring away many drinkers, and in the end, there was no one else in the store except for a few Xiao Er who were so frightened that they hid in the cash register.
The man at the head was dressed in ink, shook his wrist, and swaggered down on the chair brought by the soldier.
The blue-clothed Hua Xiaoliu stood in front of him and asked indifferently, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"This prince has sent people to invite the girl into the palace for my follow-up treatment many times, but the girl has refused every time, so this prince has to come in person." Quan Wenjin's smile was harmless, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and there was a bit of mockery.
Hua Xiaoliu nodded lightly, "Your Highness, your poison is not serious, the maiden has eliminated the poison from your body for you, and the imperial doctor in the palace can also diagnose and treat you, so you don't have to go far."
Quan Wenjin snorted disdainfully, "What if this prince has to go for the near and far?"
Hua Xiaoliu chuckled, "You said the prince, the folk girl has nothing to say."
"I have nothing to say, or I don't want to talk to Prince Ben, maybe you would rather talk to Prince Ben's second brother of the Emperor?" Quan Wenjin raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
Hua Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "The prince said that he was laughing."
"Then I will bother the girl to treat the prince." Quan Wenjin stretched out his wrist and looked at her defiantly.
"Go get my medicine box." Hua Xiaoliu rushed behind him and ordered, pulled out a stool and sat opposite Quan Wenjin, took out a silk handkerchief and put it on his wrist, and put his fingers on it.
Quan Wenjin looked at the woman opposite, even if he was a little beautiful, and his temperament was not like other women, he was no wonder he was fascinated by his unsmiling second emperor brother.
Hua Xiaoliu took out the silver needle bag from the medicine box he brought and put it on Quan Wenjin's neck
Zi tied up in a few places and packed up the medicine box.
"The residual poison has been cleared, but His Royal Highness has been a little tired recently, and the cervical spine should be uncomfortable.
Quan Wenjin returned his hand, Hua Xiaoliu reached out to get back his silk handkerchief but he was preempted, Quan Wenjin swayed in the air with the silk handkerchief, and then leaned close to the tip of his nose to smell it.
"Your Highness, this is a little girl's belongings, please give it back to me!" Hua Xiaoliu was angry and stretched out his hand to beg for it.
Quan Wenjin didn't care, "This thing is not how much or how much, just now you reminded me, you have to go far here in this palace, if I am uncomfortable and busy with official business but inconvenient, otherwise from today on, the girl will enter the palace with the prince, and she will be in the palace for the prince's diagnosis and treatment."
Hua Xiaoliu hurriedly lowered his head and took a few steps back: "Your Highness must joke with the little girl, Your Highness's status is unattainable, there are countless imperial doctors in the palace, and each of them is more skilled than the people's daughters."
"Hmph, who said Prince Ben was joking? As long as you heal me, you don't want to serve this prince because I am not the person you think, if it is the second highness Quan Pei today, will you still refuse?" Quan Xun snorted coldly and asked disdainfully.
"Prince, there is only one reason why she refuses you, and that is that she is a minister."
Hua Xiaoliu didn't know how to answer, someone pushed the door out of the private room on the second floor, leaned on the railing of the corridor and looked down, laughing wantonly as if he was talking and laughing.
Quan Wenjin looked up and saw Ji Fu saluting him, glared at the person behind him, and scolded, "What's the matter?"
"My subordinates have checked and no one has arrived, how can I ......?"
Quan Wenjin rolled his eyes, "Useless fool, what does this prince want you to do?"
Ji Fu walked down from the second floor, always with a smile on his face, Hua Xiaoliu stepped aside and saluted him, he waved his hand: "You stand down, I'll talk to the prince."
Quan Wenjin looked at the place where Hua Xiaoliu left, and re-examined the interior of the hotel, "When did Master Hou become the master of Wankelai."
"I took it down many years ago, so it's convenient for me to drink."
"Since it's Lord Hou's person, the prince can't take it away, it's a pity!"
The corners of Ji Fu's mouth rose, "Your Highness, why bother, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, bring a woman in, the queen should be unhappy, I thank Your Highness for Xiaoliu first."
"No need, Lord Hou take care, this happy event is coming, and this prince will not bother and leave!" Quan Wenjin got up to say goodbye to Ji Fu, and then left with someone.
At this time, another person came down from the second floor, it was the second highness Quan Pei, and the two discussed the marriage again to find the secret decree, and they met Quan Wenjin to find fault.
Ji Fu understood that Quan Wenjin wanted to use Hua Xiaoliu to contain Quan Pei, but unfortunately he didn't know Hua Xiaoliu's identity, and there were some mistakes in this strategy, but Quan Wenjin became more and more courageous, and I believe he would find another way.
"From the perspective of Master Hou, what should we do next?" Kwon Bae looked in the direction of the door and asked.
"I can only temporarily close Wankelai and let Xiaoliu return to Wanhumen." Ji Fu frowned, it was very troublesome for Quan Wenjin not to solve it, if he was suspicious, it would not be beneficial to their actions.
"In two days, the two of you will get married, so let's get busy with the things in front of you first, Xiaoliu, are you okay?" Quan Pei said and looked back to check on the situation of Xiaoliu.
Hua Xiaoliu shook his head, signaling that he was fine, Ji Fu glanced at the two of them, and said goodbye first: "I have to go first, I still need to keep an eye on the affairs in the house."
