4 Chapter 4
Song Wan'er was stunned for a while, and when she reacted, Zhao Feng'an was already gone.
It's really ironic, just now I was moved by such a trivial thing as him protecting himself in the car, and I woke myself up in a blink of an eye.
Jin Han stepped forward to help the princess, and when he saw that the blood on her face had faded, he carefully comforted: "Princess, I'll help you go into the mansion." ”
Song Wan'er was still standing in place, she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Huo Nian." ”
Huo Nian, who was dressed in a black suit, immediately appeared and replied in a low voice: "Humble position." ”
"Go and find out, what's going on with Qingyan being stabbed."
"Yes." Huo Nian agreed, took a few steps back, and left silently.
Only then did Song Wan'er hold Jin Han's arm and enter the mansion.
Back in the apse bedroom, Song Wan'er asked Jin Han to help, but she still couldn't untie the black cloak on her body, and the tie was somehow tied into a dead knot.
Song Wan'er was impatient, so she simply asked Jin Han to bring scissors and cut it directly.
At this time, a maid came to ask for instructions, saying that the dinner had been set up in the water pavilion in the back garden, and asked the princess if he wanted to move over to eat.
Jin Han looked at the princess carefully, and since the horse left, the princess seemed to be a little too calm.
She has served the princess since she was a child, and she knows that the princess is pampered and raised many times carelessly, and that is because she has enough heart to tolerate.
There were all kinds of coldness in the horse before, and the princess really didn't care, even if it was a little awkward, it was willful and coquettish, and now the princess is so calm, so that Jin Han feels that the horse's behavior this time may really touch the pride in the princess.
Sure enough, Song Wan'er chuckled and said, "Since you are ready, you naturally want to go." But at the end of this day, it was so hot that people were sticky and greasy, so they bathed first and then went. ”
Jin Han knew that the princess was depressed, and he didn't dare to persuade her, but he was more and more careful to serve her to bathe and change clothes.
After washing, Song Wan'er changed into an apricot yellow narrow-sleeved slanted shirt, wearing an off-white high-waisted Luo skirt, and her hair was not tied up, only a goose yellow hairband was loosely tied at the end of her hair, and she came to the water pavilion in the back garden and ate alone.
There is a pond in the back garden of Princess Changle's mansion, a lake stone revetment, and there is a pavilion in it, and a plaque is hung, which reads "Yongle Pavilion".
This plaque was written by the current emperor, who is also Song Wan'er's father, and gave it to Princess Changle in person.
The title given by her father is Changle, and the plaque given is Yongle, which is to sincerely hope that she will be happy forever.
But how can there be so much perfection in this world?
I forced this marriage with the status of a princess, so I am bound to not get the sincerity of the person I care about the most, right?
Song Wan'er held on to a green jade cup of lotus leaf wine, took a sip, and thought with a slight mockery.
At this time, a black figure appeared in the corridor outside the pavilion, clasped his fists and saluted, and whispered: "Princess." ”
Song Wan'er saw that it was Huo Nian and asked Jin Han to bring him in.
Huo Nian came to the princess's side and whispered to the princess: "In the evening today, Qingyan was stabbed when she went to the market near Xiangyuanlou to buy flowers. There were many people in the bazaar, and the assassins took advantage of the chaos to flee and were not caught. ”
"How is she hurt?"
"I heard that it was very serious, the wound was in the abdomen, there was a lot of blood, and the person was still treated by the doctor, and ...... The colt was also there. "Huo Nian is a top-level secret guard, he is calm, he rarely shows emotions, but the last sentence also paused.
Song Wan'er lowered her eyes with a mocking smile.
Yes, of course Cho Bong-an will be there.
Song Wan'er asked again: "Who sent that assassin, is there any news?" ”
"I'm still investigating, Miss Qingyan is the singer of Xiangyuanlou, and she makes too many friends on weekdays, so it's hard to judge who it is all at once."
"Okay, this palace knows, you continue to investigate, and I'll report back when there is news."
"Yes." Huo Nian clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and retreated.
It was a banquet for two people, and it became more and more boring to be alone.
Song Wan'er poured herself another glass of lotus leaf wine, raised her eyes and saw Jin Han's concerned eyes, but smiled, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
Jin Han hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he just said: "Princess, wine hurts your body a lot, so let's drink less." ”
Song Wan'er gently shook the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry." It has never been my way of doing things to drown my sorrows with wine, and besides, I have to stay sober and see what the colt wants to do. ”
After sitting for a while, I went back to my room to rest, but where could I sleep?
Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened, and the blue and white morning light gradually stained the window paper.
There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhao Bongan finally returned.
It seemed that he didn't want to disturb Song Wan'er, and Zhao Feng'an walked very lightly.
Today, there are hundreds of officials in the early dynasty, the hour is almost up, he did not turn on the lights, but followed the hazy light outside the window, lightly changed into official clothes, and prepared to go out into the palace.
After cleaning up, Zhao Feng'an hesitated for a moment, but still came to the bed according to his wishes, lifted the bed, and wanted to take a look at Song Wan'er's sleeping face, but found that she was sitting at the head of the bed, looking at herself calmly in the dim light.
Zhao Feng'an's tall and thin figure stiffened slightly, and his voice was hoarse and asked, "Why don't you sleep?" ”
Song Wan'er chuckled, sat up straight, seemed to want to see his vague face clearly, and asked softly, "Is the Qingyan girl okay?" ”
Xu is too familiar, although Zhao Feng'an is still standing silently, Song Wan'er feels the gloom and heaviness overflowing from him.
After a while, Zhao Feng'an whispered: "Wan'er, I have no selfish relationship with her, you don't need to do this." ”
Song Wan'er stiffened, she clenched the silk jacket on her body, and her voice was tense: "Do you think I sent someone to assassinate her?" ”
Zhao Feng'an's voice was indifferent, "You said that you won't let your husband have other women in his heart." ”
Song Wan'er bit her lower lip and looked up at the man she had followed for five years in shock, it turned out that in his heart, she was such a person.
A low sneer overflowed between her lips, and Song Wan'er leaned back against the head of the bed again, her voice was cold, "You haven't thought about it, what I mean by this may also be, if you have other women in your heart, don't be my husband anymore." ”
Cho Bong-an was silent.
Song Wan'er also stopped talking.
After a while, Zhao Feng'an spoke: "There is an early dynasty today, I will enter the palace first, and other things will be discussed when I come back." ”
Song Wan'er didn't respond, just nodded, closed her eyes, and looked tired.
Cho Bong-an looked at her in the hazy light, she was wearing a white middle coat, her long hair was scattered, exuding a rare vulnerability and exhaustion.
He felt a dull pain in his heart from the depths, his arm was slightly raised, he wanted to caress her delicate cheeks, and he wanted to hug her, paused for a moment, and finally put it down, turned to leave.
*
Song Wan'er really felt tired, and after Zhao Feng'an left, she fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up, it was almost noon.
Jin Han had been waiting outside for a long time.
When she came in to serve Song Wan'er to wash and change her clothes, Jin Han reported: "The eldest lady of the Lin Mansion sent someone to send a post in the morning, and wanted to invite the princess to the Lin Mansion in the afternoon. ”
The Lin family is the family of the generals of the Song Kingdom, and they have always been very close to the royal family of the Song family.
The Lin family has a son and a daughter in this generation, the eldest son Lin Jingtu has become a captain of the Yue Cavalry, and the youngest daughter Lin Jingzhu is one year older than Song Wan'er, and she has had a good relationship since childhood.
Lin Jingzhu was originally married a year earlier than Song Wan'er, but unfortunately her fate was not good, three years after marrying, her husband died of a sudden illness, and Lin Jingzhu was young and widowed.
The Lin family was born as a military general, and he didn't care much about the etiquette system, and he didn't want to see his daughter suffer alone in her in-law's house, so he simply took her back to the Lin family.
General Lin is stationed at the border all the year round, Lin Jingtu has never married a wife, and the family has always been headed by Mrs. Lin, so Lin Jingzhu also lives comfortably in her mother's house.
Because of their similar temperament with Song Waner, the two often travel together or get together at the house.
Song Wan'er was upset because of Zhao Feng'an's matter, and she wanted to go out for a walk, but Lin Jingzhu happened to meet and happily went.
When Princess Changle arrived at the Lin Mansion, the guards who went ahead had already come to report, and Mrs. Lin and Lin Jingzhu were also waiting at the door in person.
Although they have a close relationship with the Lin family, the etiquette is inevitable, and Mrs. Lin and Lin Jingzhu saluted the princess according to the rules.
Song Wan'er hurriedly helped Mrs. Lin up, and then was affectionately pulled into the Lin Mansion by Lin Jingzhu.
In the past few days, the lotus flowers in the back garden of the Lin Mansion have bloomed, and Lin Jingzhu specially arranged a lotus appreciation banquet, and several people went directly to the lotus pavilion by the lotus pond.
On the way, Song Wan'er obediently greeted Mrs. Lin, although Mrs. Lin is a woman, she also followed General Lin to fight abroad for many years when she was young, she can be described as a heroine among women, with a hearty temperament, and now her hair has turned gray, and her spirit is still very good.
She took the princess's hand and said: "The old body is fine, it's this son and a daughter that make me worry about it, Jingzhu won't mention it, Jingtu is so big, and he doesn't marry a wife, it's really sad." ”
Song Wan'er persuaded with a smile: "Brother Jingtu wants to start a business first and then start a family, and besides, he was sent to the north to garrison, and he has no time to think about getting married." ”
Old Madam Lin said: "It doesn't matter if you weren't in Shengyang before, but when you come back this time, there is no reason to shirk it." ”
Song Wan'er asked in surprise, "Brother Jingtu is back?" ”
Lin Jingzhu said with a smile: "Yes, last month, the emperor ordered to recall my brother to Shengyang and make him the leader of the Shengyang military camp. My brother has arrived home a few days ago, and today I entered the palace to go to the early court. ”
Old Madam Lin said with emotion: "Princess, don't blame the old man for speaking straightforwardly. I know that my son has always been reluctant to marry, because he is thinking about you. Even three years ago, he invited himself to the north to guard the customs, but it was because of the princess's marriage. Hey, our family is not blessed to be able to marry a princess into the door. But now that three years have passed, it is time for him to let go, but I mentioned it to him yesterday, and he was still reluctant. So the old body still thought that when the princess saw him again, she had to help me persuade him. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jingzhu hurriedly interjected: "Mother, you are really, how can you persuade the princess of this kind of thing?" ”
It was no secret that Lin Jingtu admired Princess Changle back then, Song Wan'er had a beautiful personality, and she was not embarrassed about it, but she was slightly sorry, took the old woman's hand, and whispered: "I have known Jingtu Jingzhu since childhood, and I have long regarded them as brothers and sisters in my heart. It's hard for me to repay Brother Jingtu's kindness, but I really hope he can be well. Don't worry, when you look back and see Brother Jingtu, I will definitely persuade you. ”
Old Madam Lin said repeatedly: "Okay, good, if the princess persuades him, he will listen." ”
With that, several people had already come to the lotus pond.
Mrs. Lin knew that her daughter was close to the princess and wanted them to talk to each other about herself, so she asked Lin Jingzhu to entertain the princess well, and she went back to the room to rest.
Sending Mrs. Lin away, the two sat down in the lotus pavilion.
Song Wan'er then asked Jingzhu: "Brother Jingtu is back, why don't I know?" ”
Lin Jingzhu asked the maids to serve tea, and said: "My brother has been in love with you for many years without success, and you are already married, he will definitely not take the initiative to disturb you." And Master Pony has always been hostile to my brother, and he will never mention my brother's return to you, so it's normal that you don't know. ”
Song Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "Zhao Feng'an doesn't know why, he didn't like Brother Jingtu from the beginning. ”
Back then, Lin Jingzhu saw that Song Wan'er was in love with Zhao Feng'an, and finally got her wish to marry him, she thought about it and said uncertainly: "The concubine should be jealous, right?" ”
Song Wan'er laughed and said, "You yourself are so uncertain, but of course not." He doesn't like me, how can he eat Jingtu's brother's vinegar? ”
Hearing this, Lin Jingzhu looked at Song Wan'er deeply.
Today, she wore an apricot red thin silk mid-sleeved jacket with a goose yellow skirt, which was even more delicate than the blooming lotus flowers against the backdrop of the lotus leaves in the pond.
It's just that there is a faint gloom between her gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, which is not as vivid and cheerful as usual.
Lin Jingzhu sighed in her heart, shook Song Wan'er's hand comfortably, and looked at the pond full of green leaves and pink with her.
Song Wan'er held her cheeks and looked at the lotus leaves and blue plate balls, the lotus flowers were slim, the breeze blew, and her depressed mood dispersed a lot, and said with a smile: "This lotus flower in your house is really a must, I will talk to my father another day, let him come and see, it is even better than the imperial garden." ”
Lin Jingzhu responded with a smile: "How can you afford this?" This rural village scene didn't dare to enter the emperor's eyes, just watched and played. It's because I know that you're in a bad mood these days, so I specially asked you to come over and disperse. ”
Hearing this, Song Wan'er raised a pair of smart eyes and looked at Lin Jingzhu, "How do you know that I'm in a bad mood?" ”
"Princess Changle went to Xiangyuan Building to catch a horse on a rainy night, no one knows in Shengyang." Lin Jingzhu said teasing words, but held Song Wan'er's hand with concern, and asked again: "How are you and the horse doing now?" ”
