Chapter 451: Antlers and Begonias (1)
When the news of King Jin being assassinated on the way to the White Horse Temple and being seriously injured reached the palace, the princess was in the garden counting a few pine leaf peonies in the courtyard.
The chief housekeeper of the palace hurriedly ran to the garden to convey the news, and the tip of the princess's round shell-like hand gently plucked a beautiful begonia flower, pinned it to her ear, slowly came back to her senses, and asked, "What did Steward Zhou just say?" Say it again. ”
Steward Zhou knelt on the ground, trembling like a sieve, "The slave just got the news, the prince, the prince, he was seriously injured and is on the way back to escort back!" ”
"Oh." The princess nodded lightly, "You go down, let the doctors in the courtyard be ready, and make sure that the prince is safe and sound." ”
"Yes!" Steward Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and went down to prepare.
The princess glanced at the maidservant beside her, and a faint smile appeared on her fair and clean face: "Acui, go to the courtyard and get a basket, let's make rose cakes to eat today."
The princess's face was red and her teeth were white, she looked like a peach blossom, and when she laughed, the two pears were round and round, which was particularly good-looking, and the maid named Acui looked at it and lowered her head a little shyly, "Princess, wait, the slave and maid will come when they go." ”
"Okay."
After Atsui left, the princess continued to walk around the garden, from time to time reaching out to pick up a flower in the palm of her hand and sniffing it, colorful butterflies dancing around her from time to time, she shuttled between the flowers, like a flower fairy.
When Atsui came back with the basket, there were already a lot of roses in bloom on the grass.
"If these flowers are left unattended on weekdays and withered, they are just made of spring mud, and it is better to have a full stomach."
The princess smiled and asked her to pick up flowers, and her slender fingers swept flexibly among the flowers, "Let Aunt Wang make things in the afternoon." ”
"Okay." Acui picked up all the flowers into the basket and followed her happily, "Recently, the prince is not eating in the house, and Aunt Wang is also abandoned." ”
The princess smiled: "This rose cake is finely made, enough for her to be busy for a while."
Acui nodded, approached her, saw that there was no one around, and called her in a low voice: "Princess, the prince is injured, let's go back in a while, if others see that we are still in the garden, I'm afraid it's not good."
The princess blinked: "What's wrong?"
Atsui hesitated for a moment: "It's not good for your reputation."
The smile on the princess's face was slightly reduced, she was silent for a moment, and then reached out and pinched Acui's pretty face: "That's what I said, pack up your things, let's go back."
"Okay." Atsui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly packed up her things and followed her back to the yard.
The two of them had not been gone for a while, and there was a surge in front of the gate, and several blood-stained soldiers, carrying an unconscious man dressed in white, galloped over, and disappeared into the courtyard in a few steps, and the remaining few drops of blood indicated that things were not calm.
During the night, the princess ate the newly made rose cake, and at the same time knew that the seriously injured prince had been treated by the doctor, and his life was safe.
She touched her round belly and said to Atsui, "Let's go and see the prince."
"Okay." Acui couldn't help it, "I'm going to find Aunt Wang's food box." ”
"What's the point of the food box?"
"The prince is injured, and Aunt Wang has made porridge for nourishment, which should be able to be used." Atsui handed the porridge to the princess and reminded: "It is said that the weakest when she is sick, and the princess will feed the porridge to the princess after a while, and the princess will definitely remember the princess's goodness."
The princess looked at the food box and smiled slightly, but there was no color in the round cat pupils, "That's what I said." ”
Xiaocui was overjoyed: "Let's go over here."
"Hmm."
The princess turned around and walked straight towards the Jinyun Palace, where the prince lived.
Acui followed her quietly, looked at her back, and sighed secretly, she was the princess's dowry girl, and she was by her side when the princess was still a young lady, and the two could be said to have grown up together, no different from sisters than master and servant.
After the princess married the queen of Jin, she also followed, she never thought of being the princess's concubine, she wanted to help the princess be favored, but the princess was still young, she was still a child in her bones, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun, and she didn't care about the favor of the king of Jin at all, even the serious injury of the king of Jin did not make her change in the slightest.
If this continues, not to mention the heirs, even the position of the princess may not be guaranteed.
Acui was anxious, afraid that the princess would become a concubine, and after secretly thinking about it, she decided to push the princess forward, and sincerely went to the golden stone to open, maybe the king of Jin was really moved?
When they walked to the Jinyun Palace, the guards at the door stopped the two of them, "The prince is seriously injured, don't disturb, please return quickly." ”
The corners of the princess's mouth raised slightly, and there was a little more majesty on her face, "This concubine is the concubine of King Jin, the master of the palace, is there any place where you can't go in?" ”
The two guards were unmoved: "The slave was instructed by the prince to ask the princess to move."
The princess glanced at the palace without changing her face, saw that the main courtyard was brightly lit, and she was not angry, and asked, "The prince is out of danger?"
"It's all right."
The princess nodded and continued to ask: "The prince was injured on the way to the White Horse Temple, who are you traveling with?" How did the prince get hurt? ”
The guards looked at each other: "The princess asked what this is for?"
"The prince is my husband, he is injured, shouldn't I care?"
The guards looked at each other for a moment, and one of them spoke: "On the way, I met the third lady of the Lin Mansion, when I was attacked, the prince had the ability to protect himself, but in order to protect the third miss of the Lin Mansion, he ......"
The guards didn't say anything after that, but everything was clear.
The two of them stared at the princess, for fear that she would attack at the door, after all, no woman could accept that her husband was seriously injured for another woman.
But this princess is different.
She was still smiling, the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, and she even asked with interest: "Miss Lin San, it is my sister-in-law, my sisters have played since childhood, and their relationship is very close, I don't know what is the situation of my third sister?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Miss Lin San is not injured, but she was a little frightened and has returned to the Lin Mansion safely."
"That's good." The smile on the corner of the princess's mouth slowly deepened, "My third sister is also a blessed person. ”
The two lowered their heads and didn't answer, only to feel that the new princess was a brainless woman, and if she were any other woman, she would have already made a big noise.
But not only did she not make trouble, but she also behaved very peacefully, which is a bit brainless.
"It's a healthy porridge made in the kitchen." The princess handed the food box to the guards and instructed, "If the prince is hungry, give him porridge."
The guard took the food box, I don't know whether it was sympathy or pity, and nodded very seriously: "I will live up to the princess's trust."
