Chapter 171: Bet a hundred taels of silver
Xiao Qinxue left the General's Mansion and went straight to the Women's Academy, she was going to find Xie Xiaoyu, she had been to the palace early in the morning, but what made her angry was that although she had scheduled a meeting with the queen mother yesterday, she didn't see the queen mother, Wang Mama said that she went too early, and the mother hadn't gotten up yet? Another day, a message will be sent to announce her entry into the palace.
A slave and maid beside the queen mother can send her, Xiao Qinxue has never been so angry, but how can there be someone in this palace who makes her angry.
Just as she was about to leave, Sihai ran out, and he called Xiao Qinxue: "Princess, slow down." ”
Xiao Qinxue is quite popular with the words 'princess', and she calls these three words directly, not 'quasi-princess'.
Hearing that it was Sihai, she also showed a smile: "It's Sihai Father-in-law, thanks to you that day, I haven't had time to thank you?" ”
Sihai bowed and said with a smile: "The crown princess is serious, what does the imperial doctor say?" ”
"The doctor said that the mother has to give birth well, don't be stimulated anymore, maybe there is a possibility of improvement."
"There's no way around it, just let it be!" Sihai reassured.
Xiao Qinxue frowned slightly, looking pitiful, she sighed coquettishly: "It's only like this, is there something wrong with my father-in-law?" ”
Sihai gestured to the side of the door, Xiao Qinxue immediately walked towards the corridor next to the palace, and after standing still, Sihai on his side spoke: "The little slave wants to tell the princess, it's not that the queen doesn't want to see you, it's really not up, maybe after discussing with Prime Minister Jiang Cheng yesterday, she was a little worried and tired, Mama Wang is a person who can't speak, I hope the princess will forgive me." ”
Hearing Sihai say this, Xiao Qinxue felt a lot relieved, she smiled lightly: "Forgive me, don't you dare, just wait for the queen's mother to send at any time, but I don't know why the mother is worried?" ”
"It's not because of Jiang Xiaohouye, he is now General Xiao, a soldier under your father, the crown princess, and this alone is enough to give the queen a headache."
"You said, it's not appropriate for him to let go of the good little marquis, he has to go to the place where the military camp, and there has been no friendship between General Xiao and Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, presumably the crown princess also knows, and he is about to get married, or marry a girl that the queen doesn't like, and the queen is worried."
Xiao Qinxue listened to Sihai's tirade, and thought to herself, is Jiang Dawei crazy, he actually went to his father's barracks, it was really a brain in water, but she couldn't solve the queen's worries, it was okay to keep a mind.
Xiao Qinxue thought of this and said: "This is really a headache, Jiang Xiaohou is a casual person, the kind who does things completely recklessly, it is estimated that he has made enough trouble, or has endured hardships, and he can consciously return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, presumably I can't help the queen mother?" ”
Sihai smiled: "This little slave understands, but if you want to relieve the queen's worries, the princess still has to keep this matter in mind, and seeing the general is also a big deal, whether it is useful or useless news, as long as there is information about Jiang Xiaohou in the military camp, you report it to the queen, it proves the princess's sincerity, isn't it?" ”
Xiao Qinxue raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile like a flower: "My father-in-law's words are like an empowerment, and I understand." ”
"Then the little slave won't be sent." Sihai smiled earnestly.
"Father-in-law stays!"
After being mentioned by the four seas in the palace, Xiao Qinxue originally wanted to take advantage of last night's heat to probe Ling Zhiqiao's tone, but she just thought about it with her toes, and she didn't understand how Jiang Dawei could go to her father's military camp to be a pawn.
But Ling Zhiqiao didn't give her a chance, so she thought about going to Xie Xiaoyu and asking her to give her an idea, after all, only Xie Xiaoyu could be called a good friend with her now.
And Xie Xiaoyu is also selfish in scolding her, of course Xiao Qinxue understands that they are just using each other.
When I arrived at the Nude Academy, the gatekeeper saw that it was Xiao Qinxue, and said very enthusiastically: "Miss Xiao, why are you free to come here today?" I haven't congratulated you yet! ”
Xiao Qinxue is wearing the same set that she entered the palace to meet the queen's mother today, with a light cyan plain cloud yarn, with a silver wire buckle and lock edge, which is quite dignified, giving people a much more easy-going feeling than before.
She smiled and said, "When it is officially announced, I will definitely come to the Women's Virtue Academy to have a treat, I don't know if Miss Xie is inside?" ”
The gatekeeper immediately replied: "Presumably Miss Xiao should not know that the Women's Virtue Academy will not hold classes today, saying that the Song female official in the palace is sick, so she recruited the female officer of the Women's Virtue Academy back." ”
Xiao Qinxue was a little angry in her heart, today was really not going well, she tried not to show her emotions and said: "Then I'll go to Xie Mansion to find her!" Thanks a lot. ”
After Xiao Qinxue left in the carriage, the gatekeeper said to himself: "This is really the sun coming out of the west, in the past, this one's eyes were about to grow to the sky, could it be that he felt that he had become a princess, so he changed sex?" ”
He shook his head, closed the door, and continued to mumble: "This General Xiao is really lucky, both daughters have been chosen, but I hope that the candidate is the crown princess, and it looks more blessed than these two young ladies." ”
When Xiao Qinxue arrived at Xie Mansion, she told the coachman to go and say goodbye, thinking to herself, if she couldn't see it, it must be that she didn't read the yellow calendar when she went out, and the idea was too much.
really responded to her guess, the coachman waited for the return that Xie Xiaoyu accompanied his wife to the temple to pray for the master, Xiao Qinxue began to hold back her anger, she pretended to be gentle and lovely all day, but it didn't come in handy at all.
Just when she asked the coachman to turn the horse's head and prepare to go back to the General's Mansion, several people rode to the door of the Xie Mansion, led by Xie An, the sister-in-law of the Imperial History of the Criminal Department, Xie Yan, who was neither male nor female.
Xie Yan got off the horse, and when he saw that it was the carriage of the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but stop the carriage and asked, "But Miss Xiao Er?" ”
Of course, Xiao Qinxue saw him through the curtain, but she didn't want to talk to this little marquis Xie much, and she felt that there was nothing to say.
This Xie Xiaohou used to be Jiang Dawei's follower, since the last indecent incident, Xie Yanxu was afraid that Du Yunhan or Ling Zhiqiao would find him to settle accounts, but he hid from Kyoto City for a while.
When Jiang Dawei was released back by Lord Zhao, he saw that there was no news, so he dared to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Jiang Dawei, but he went several times, but Jiang Dawei didn't see him, which made him very annoyed.
Xiao Qinxue heard Xie Yan's voice, if she didn't say anything more, this guy would be about to open the curtain, she replied: "Little Marquis Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's Xiao Qinxue." ”
"Haha, I really didn't expect it, it's really the crown princess, can you get out of the car?"
Xiao Qinxue saw through the gauze curtain that Xie Yan was followed by those few people, all of whom were thieves, and she shirked and said, "Little Hou Ye, I'm here to find Xie Xiaoyu, since she's not here, I'll come back another day." ”
The few thieves behind Xie Yan heard that they were once the first beauties in Kyoto, and the current crown princess was being selected, and they all encouraged Xie Yan to let Xiao Qinxue get out of the car, and they were so full of eyes, the faces of this group of people made Xiao Qinxue see clearly.
Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak again, Xiao Qinxue said sharply: "Little Marquis, if you stop the carriage again, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about it, I'm afraid Lord Xie will have to stay inside for a while." ”
Xie Yan immediately took a step back after hearing this, although there was obvious displeasure on his face, he still said politely: "What the crown princess said is, then it will not be sent far away, and when Xiaoyu comes back, I will definitely tell her that you have come." ”
Xiao Qinxue looked disdainful in the carriage, but her mouth was also polite: "Thank you, little marquis, farewell!" ”
Those thieves saw Xiao Qinxue's carriage leave, and asked Xie Yan: "Master Hou, it's a pity, if you come back one step earlier, we will be able to see the true face." ”
Xie Yan pursed his lips and said sourly, "Do you really think that you are the princess?" It's not that I haven't seen what she Xiao Qinxue looks like, let me tell you, without the eldest lady of the Xiao family, she Xiao Qinxue is indeed the first beauty in Kyoto, but if you see Ling Zhiqiao, you will know what a real beauty is. ”
"Master Hou is talking about the alternative to the crown princess?"
"Exactly! Why don't we bet, how about seeing which of these two girls in the General's Mansion can become the princess? Xie Yan smiled and walked towards the mansion.
"Then I'll bet on this Miss Xiao Er, this sound makes people feel numb." One of the thieves said.
Xie Yan stretched out a finger in front of him and said, "I bet on the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, Ling Zhiqiao, on a hundred taels of silver." ”
When Xie Yan was betting with those few people, Xiao Qinxue could only go back to the General's Mansion in a sullen carriage, she originally wanted to go to Zhao Mansion to see Zhao Qiyue again, but after thinking about it, this product is the same as Jiang Dawei, it is better not to go to the closed door.
Xiao Qinxue, who thought about it, made up her mind, she still had to continue to pretend, or start from the easiest person, that is, her father General Xiao, to inquire about Jiang Dawei's news, maybe as Sihai said, it can really solve the queen's worries.
Ling Zhiqiao really fell ill this time, but Da Han, Er Han and Xiao Tao were in a hurry, seeing that the young lady slept after noon and didn't get up, Xiao Tao tested Ling Zhiqiao's forehead, but it was hot and scary, and the bowl of ginger soup only made Ling Zhiqiao sweat a little, and it didn't play a big role.
Xiao Tao immediately asked Erhan to invite a doctor from the hospital, and when the doctor came, she truthfully told the young lady that she was sleeping on her stomach on the railing outside in the morning.
The doctor lowered his face while prescribing the medicine and said: "How do you individuals serve, when there is no sun in the morning, the cold that gathers all night is the most sick, hurry up and grab the medicine according to the prescription and give it to your young lady." ”
Da Han grabbed the prescription and said, "We need a medicine room in our yard, I'll go!" ”
The doctor was really anxious when he saw this, so he comforted: "The old man has diagnosed the pulse, the eldest lady is also the disease of the invasion of wind evil, coupled with the lack of physical maintenance, this decoction is taken three times a day, you let her think less about things, just make up for sleep, and your young lady's body is still very good, all of them are feverish like this, the pulse is quite stable, and it should not be a big problem to serve carefully." ”
Xiao Tao replied: "Write it down." ”
As soon as the doctor was about to get up, he saw that Ling Zhiqiao's other hand was still wrapped in a soft cloth, he stepped forward to take off the soft cloth and take a look, and said to Xiao Tao: "Miss, the injury on this hand has already come out of red meat, so there is no need to wrap it in a soft cloth, just let this place be exposed to the wind." ”
Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then thank you doctor, I'll send the guards to send you back." “
Xiao Taosai gave the doctor a piece of broken silver, but did not let him go to the account office to collect it, she didn't want to give Xiao Qinxue a chance to gloat.
The doctor of the medical hall excused himself and said: "Little peach girl, this is too much, when you went to see the grandmother in the small courtyard, you have already given more." ”
Xiao Tao smiled: "Doctor, don't be polite, the small courtyard also asks the doctor to keep the secret for the eldest lady, just keep it!" ”
"The old man must be strict, the girl can rest assured."
As soon as the doctor of the medical hall left, Er Han came with the refreshing well water that had just been hit, and Xiao Tao immediately soaked the face towel, wrung out the remaining water, and prepared to put it on Ling Ling Zhiqiao's forehead.
"Little Peach." Ling Zhiqiao woke up in bed at this time.
Er Han and Xiao Tao all walked towards Ling Zhiqiao's bedside with happy faces, and Er Han asked, "Sister Ling, do you feel better?" ”
