Chapter 19 The Heart of Man, the Needle of the Sea
Fang Yu's side, Qing Rong came back with lunch, and told her that Pei Yao was eating at Zhou Shuren's.
"I think it's Zhou Shuren who is also anxious, and today she called Her Highness to discuss the other boat, so she let the girl named Jasmine next to her keep an eye on it, and Her Highness will guard it when she comes back."
While setting the meal, Qingrong chattered.
"It's right to be anxious." Fang Yu shook his fan indifferently and looked out the window, "I just heard from Yanwei that we will dock at the dock in Tongqian County for one night at night to replenish things, I can't say that we can go down for a walk, this boat has been sitting for a long time, and people are dizzy." ”
It's been a whole day and a night on board.
Qingrong nodded, "This boat, it was fresh at the beginning, and it was stuffy after a long time, Liangdi, you are okay, the slave and maid saw that many people are not used to taking a boat, and the sky is dark." ”
"It takes eight days to get from Kyoto to Zhongshu, and these people are afraid that they will suffer." Yan sighed slightly.
Fang Yu stood up, walked to the table and took the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled lightly.
"It's uncomfortable for others, I can't take care of it now, my stomach is hungry and uncomfortable, let's eat first."
Seeing that she was in a good mood, the two maids also showed smiling faces.
At that time, in Zhou Shuren's room, Pei Yao was also having lunch.
Zhou Shuren is gentle and considerate, good at observing people's wishes, although it is the first time to serve Pei Yao for dinner, she can also get a little bit of Pei Yao's preferences, and she is very thoughtful when she distributes vegetables next to her.
But it was precisely because of her thoughtfulness that Pei Yao didn't care about her while eating, just treated her as a servant, and put down the dishes and chopsticks as soon as she was full.
Poor Zhou Shuren hadn't eaten two bites at all, and when he saw that he put down the chopsticks, he didn't dare to continue eating, so he immediately followed with the chopsticks, got up and brought tea to serve Pei Yao to rinse his mouth.
And then he said intimately.
"Your Highness wants to take a nap? It's hot and sleepy in the summer, so I sleep for half an hour and feel better in the afternoon. ”
"It's okay, just lie alone for a while."
Pei Yao was indeed a little tired, so he didn't excuse himself, and went straight to the inner room to lie down.
Zhou Shuren didn't get the order to rest together, and he didn't dare to lie down without permission, so after thinking about it, he also did the work that Fang Yu had done before.
The maid who acts as a cool fan and waits by the couch.
However, the breeze was gentle, and it should have been cool and comfortable, but Zhou Shuren used rose dew on her body, and this time she asked people to light the rose fragrance in the room, so it didn't taste right.
At first smell, I feel rich and long, gentle and sweet, but after a long time, I feel tired of panic.
It was about the time when Fang had just eaten that the smell of food was covered, and the two of them sat far away, so Pei Yao didn't think that it would be okay to be next to each other at this time.
After smelling it for a long time, it was greasy and stuffy, which reminded him of the last time he was smoked on the deck, and he couldn't sleep well.
After lying down for a stick of incense, he still got up.
"Your Highness?" Zhou Shuren looked at him in surprise.
Pei Yao raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, "I suddenly remembered that there was still something to be dealt with by Lone, Lone went back first, you can rest." ”
After saying that, he immediately got out of the house, put on his coat and went out.
Although Zhou Shuren felt that this was an excuse, she didn't know what she was doing badly, and she thought about it for a while, and her eyebrows were like hemp rope, and she didn't think of the problem.
In the end, I had to believe Pei Yao's words.
And Fang Yu's side, after taking a nap, it was also strange to hear that Pei Yao left Zhou's place not long after lunch.
I sent someone to inquire, but nothing happened.
"It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the sea, in my opinion, it should be said that it is the heart of a person, a needle in the sea." Fang Yu teased helplessly.
The two maids only laughed.
How dare they talk about the prince?
After such a small episode, the whole afternoon was uneventful, until dinner time, when the ship docked at the dock in Tongqian County.
Although it is only a small county town, the county is still very rich here, and the currency minting of Daqi has taken a lot of money in this small county.
And there is also a jade mine here, which produces high-quality jade, called Linghe jade, which is also quite popular.
The crown prince and the eldest prince and a number of officials from Kyoto came here, and the local officials naturally came early to greet them and set up a dinner party in the city.
So for this dinner, everyone got off the boat and went out to the feast.
On this occasion, it is natural to save face for Pei Yao, although it is a concubine, it is the prince's good wife, so the momentum cannot be left behind, so Fang Yu is very careful to dress up.
The hair is all coiled up, combed into a windward bun, except for the glazed floral hairpin, with a pair of purple gemstone tassel hairpins, and a gold-wrapped dragonfly.
I didn't wear the necklace, because there was no good enough to support the scene, so it was better not to wear it.
These things on the head are all rewards after entering the East Palace.
The clothes were dressed in a misty purple soft silver light lily skirt, which was dignified and gentle.
I wanted to get another silk handkerchief, but I didn't think it was light enough, so I chose a light yarn fan.
When she was cleaned up, when she saw Pei Yao and got off the boat together, she attracted Pei Yao to look at her twice.
I've never dressed up so delicately and luxuriously, and there is naturally something new in front of me.
Of course, Zhou Shuren is as delicate from head to toe as ever, but there is a word called aesthetic fatigue.
No matter how beautiful things are, there are no multifacets, and after watching them for a long time, they will be single, and they will not be tired of it.
However, now is not the time to pay attention to the two concubines, Pei Yao also glanced twice, and then led the people to set off.
After getting off the boat, a carriage was naturally arranged.
The eldest prince had already arrived first, and at this time, he was waiting by the side with the two ladies in his house.
Fang Yu followed behind Pei Yao and walked side by side with Zhou Shuren, who was originally decent and generous, but when he saw the woman beside the eldest prince, his face instantly sank uncontrollably.
"Liangdi."
Qingrong's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly reminded him gently.
Fang Yu immediately lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and covered the cold light at the bottom of his eyes.
almost lost her temper, because the rich and enchanting woman standing beside the eldest prince was her sister Fang Pei.
Thinking about the past, I really can't suppress my feelings of hatred and disgust.
Obviously, Fang Pei also saw her, and as soon as she smiled on her face, she glanced her up and down, revealing a bit of sarcasm.
The men didn't seem to be affected by the atmosphere between the women, and after Pei Yao approached, the eldest prince took the initiative to salute first.
In terms of pretending, the eldest prince is still very good.
It's just that he saluted, and Fang Pei naturally had to follow suit, not only to Pei Yao, but also to Fang Yu.
Although she is the side concubine of the eldest prince, the eldest prince has not yet been knighted, so Fang Yu's identity as the crown prince Liangdi is actually as high as her in the royal family.
And Pei Yao is both a prince and a brother, so naturally even Fang Yu is half a cut taller than Fang Pei.
So after Zhou Shuren took the initiative to salute Fang Pei, Fang Pei could only pinch her nose, and reluctantly owed a debt to Fang Pei.
With such a good opportunity, how could Fang Yu let her go so easily, so he immediately made an affectionate appearance, stepped forward to help her, and said with a gentle smile.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister looks so good, although it is different from the dignity and inferiority of the status now, but we are sisters in the end, so don't be bound by these false courtesies."
She bit the words of respect and humility very hard, and Fang Pei's face stiffened.
