4 Chapter 4

Liu Che was a very curious emperor, but that didn't mean he was also interested in the minister's family affairs. He asked Huo Quai's illness like this, more out of concern for his beloved courtiers.

Of course, it's not pure concern.

"Our hussar general, this is Hongluanxing? I will tell Zhong Qing and Zifu later, and they will be relieved to come. ”

Huo Quzhi cast a speechless glance.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Che then looked away from his joking gaze, and said with a straight face: "Okay, no joke." Say, what is so special about this woman that deserves your special attention? ”

In front of Huo Quai's eyes, the scene of Jiang Lingyue's appearance appeared in an instant.

In the carriage in the middle of the official road, a woman in an unconscious was huddled. Her dress was stained with dust, and her exposed skin was covered in abrasions. It seems that a gust of wind can easily destroy this precious flower.

He lowered his eyelashes and covered a trace of emotion that flashed in his eyes: "Although the carriage this woman was riding in was damaged, some people recognized it, and it was engraved with the pattern of King Zhao. ”

"King Zhao?"

Liu Che sat up straight for a moment: "Go sick, are you sure?" ”

Huo Quai's illness was categorical: "This matter is the responsibility of the soldiers under the command of the minister, and some of his relatives are the Yellow Gate of Fengche in the palace of King Zhao." According to him, there should be no mistake. ”

The current King of Zhao, Liu Pengzu, is the son of Emperor Xiaojing and Madame Jia, and the half-brother of Liu Che. He was fierce and brutal, and Liu Che once sent many ministers to manage the Zhao State, but they all "died".

Among them, there must be the handwriting of King Zhao.

He and the King of Huainan were the two most difficult bones in Liu Che's domain.

Now that there is news about Liu Pengzu, it is impossible for Liu Che not to pay attention to it: "The embroidered messenger came with news a few days ago, saying that the harem of Prince Zhao Liu Dan lost a concubine and caused discord between father and son, could it be this woman?" What about her, what did she say to you? ”

Huo Quzhi showed an indescribable expression: "She said that she had amnesia and didn't remember anything about the past." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "Did she really forget, or did she fall into your hands and want to break off the relationship with King Zhao?" If it's the latter, he's a smart man! ”

"But these details, let the embroidered messenger go to investigate. Why did you put her in your own house when she was sick? ”

Obviously, Liu Che has not completely given up making fun of General Huo Xiao.

Huo Quzhi paused subtly: "She has superb medical skills and sophisticated techniques, which is not inferior to the famous doctors who have accumulated years in the army." Moreover, there seems to be an extremely pure wine in her hands. ”

Extremely pure wine?

The monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, apparently thinking of the same thing. The last person who had a very pure sake was still ......

General Wencheng, Li Shaoweng.

"It turned out that it was the idea to go sick." After a long time, Liu Che smiled and said, "Say, how do you plan to arrange her?" ”

Huo Quzhi hesitated for a moment: "After the righteous female doctor left the palace, most of the female doctors in the palace also dispersed. It's better to let her enter the court to practice medicine and serve, what does Your Majesty think? ”*

Huo Qubing is nominally a foreign minister, and he should not ask about the affairs of the monarch's harem. But his stepfather is Chen Zhang, the middle palace Zhan Shi, and his aunt is the queen Wei Zifu. It's just that he doesn't take the initiative to ask, just a few words come into his ears, and those who don't know should know.

"That's good."

Liu Che listened to him arrange the affairs in the palace, and he didn't feel a little unhappy: "However, going to the sick can guarantee that she is fine?" ”

Huo Quzhi's eyes flashed over Jiang Lingyue's face. Her clear eyes sparkled, flashing with innocence that she didn't know the dangers of the world. Like a clear lake, without a little impurity.

According to the minister's observation, when she returned with the army, she tried her best to treat the wounded soldiers. Other than that, there was no snooping. Judging by his words and deeds, it does not seem to have ulterior motives. ”

Then, he chuckled again: "Even if Your Majesty can't trust me, you should still believe in the embroidered messenger and Jianzhang Yingqi." ”

Liu Che said: "Going to the sick is throwing the problem to me." Also, it is time for the embroidered messenger to find out what she has to do with King Zhao, as well as this pure wine, what is going on. ”

"Also, since you recommended her to be a female doctor in the palace, let her go to the Jiaofang Palace tomorrow, and let her husband also palm her eyes."

"Respectfully."

-

Jiang Lingyue didn't know that his identity had already been guessed by the most noble person in the Yang Palace. And a small bottle of alcohol she inadvertently pulled out also attracted their attention.

At this moment, she was looking at the Hussar General's Mansion, and her eyes were about to fall to the ground.

As we all know, the area of Weiyang Palace is said to be about six times that of the Forbidden City. But Jiang Lingyue didn't expect that a mediocre-sounding Hussar General's Mansion was also big enough to make people get lost. Moreover, this is still the foot of the Son of Heaven, where every inch of land is valuable. By analogy with the modern Second Ring Road in Beijing, Huo Quzhi can circle such a large piece of land as a mansion, and his preciousness does not need to be said.

She looked up at Huo Guang beside her, and found that he was also shocked, and she felt a little better.

Well, there is more than one soil bun.

Soon, a housekeeper led the maidservant to pick him up. After the two said hello, they each left with their maidservants.

The handmaiden with a delicate appearance led Jiang Lingyue to turn around, and finally walked to a courtyard: "Girl, please come in." ”

Yes, it's still a separate courtyard, and it's very quiet.

Jiang Lingyue pushed the door in, and the carved wooden door "creaked" and set off a gust of wind. The smell of spices suddenly came to my face.

There was no light in the house, and it was a little dark.

Fortunately, the maidservant was quick with her hands and feet, and lit candles all over the house. The room suddenly brightened. Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but glance at the candle more. You must know that at this time, candles are still an out-and-out natural luxury. Huo Quai's home even has a guest room, oh no guest house, can afford it.

Arrogance, really arrogance.

The bedrooms are also very well furnished. Except for the lack of modern appliances, the comfort of other places is not much worse than that of modern star hotels.

One of the leading maidservants meekly said, "If the girl needs anything, please tell the slaves and maids as much as you like, and the slaves and maids will do their best." ”

Being whispered so softly by a beautiful young lady, Jiang Lingyue was inexplicably a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly: "I'm a little hungry, and I still want to take a shower and change clothes, is that okay?" ”

"No."

The maid seemed to see Jiang Lingyue's discomfort, and chuckled: "You are a guest of my family, so you really don't need to be so restrained." Your Excellency has commanded you not to be slow to be treated. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Lingyue was stunned.

It's obvious who this adult is. She just didn't expect Huo Quzhi to seem to ignore it, and there was no follow-up after taking her to the house. I even told these things behind my back.

After a long time, she said slowly: "Thank you for me." ”

"No." The handmaid said.

The maidservant girl quickly left, leaving Jiangling Yuewu sighing to herself. Her thanks are not polite words - with her own ability, how can she live such a high standard of life as soon as she comes to Chang'an, and most of them are still eating the northwest wind in a corner.

So how will Huo Qubing arrange her? If it is a place she doesn't want to go, but she eats and lives in other people's homes, and the hospitality standard is so high, isn't it good to refuse directly?

However, when the maidservant brought the meal, Jiang Lingyue quickly couldn't think about it. She stared at a lacquered bowl, her pretty eyes shining brightly.

Oh my God, what did she see.

Cooked rice!

Jiang Lingyue held the lacquer bowl, picked it up with a silver chopstick, and put it in her mouth, almost bursting into tears. Oh my God, how long has it been since she's eaten this bite!

The bowl is filled with yellow rice, which has a different taste from modern rice.

But what she ate was, after all, rice!

After Jiang Lingyue arrived in the Western Han Dynasty, he found that the agriculture of this era was actually a mixture of grains - the common people's ideas are very easy to understand, if one grain is not harvested well, there are other grains to guarantee the bottom.

Therefore, the grain that comes up from the tax is also mixed with grains. Only very particular people will eat it separately.

And in the army, naturally there is no such condition.

She ate and lived with the army, and also ate five grains for several days. It's nothing, it's just that the military rations are more or less mixed with wheat bran husks, which makes my throat hurt. Every time Jiang Lingyue eats, it is like being punished. Now when she sees the hot yellow rice, it is almost like seeing a loved one.

As for the remaining dishes such as carp and lettuce soup, Jiang Lingyue only moved a few chopsticks. There is no way, although it can be seen that the chef has prepared carefully, but the current seasoning and cooking methods are too far from the future generations, and the taste is naturally not comparable.

"If you like yellow rice, next time the slave maid will prepare more in the dining room." The maidservant stood aside and said coldly.

Jiang Lingyue thought for a while: "Hmm, I want to drink yellow rice porridge at night, is it okay?" ”

"No."

After eating and drinking, Jiang Lingyue was a little sleepy. But she still endured the sleepiness, and waited for the wooden barrel that the maidservants brought to bathe, and poured boiling hot water into it.

The march was hard, and there were men all around, so she naturally had no conditions to take a bath. It's late spring again, and it's inevitable that you'll sweat a little when you act during the day. Gangneung Yue can only fetch some water every day to keep her face and hands clean.

As for her body, she didn't dare to smell it, for fear of smelling something.

Now that she has the conditions to bathe, she takes off her skirt and immerses herself in the water.

Whew, it's so comfortable.

Gangneung Yueyi was immersed in warm water, and the fatigue poured out of his body. Behind her, the gentle maidservant lady untied her bun and soaked her long hair with warm water.

I don't know how long, in a daze, she heard a voice: "Girl, girl......"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lingyue woke up suddenly, only to find that she was directly in the bathtub and fell asleep.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried that if you sleep in the water, you'll get a wind chill."

Jiang Lingyue sobered up in an instant after hearing this. Without antibiotics, it's not an empty phrase that you can die with a cold.

"Then I'll wash it quickly!" After speaking, Jiang Lingyue dipped in water with bath beans to wash off the dirt on his body. After rubbing it hard, she even felt a few pounds lighter.

When the maidservants saw that Jiang Lingyue was almost washed, they immediately wrapped her tightly in a soft cloth and did not suffer a little wind.

The maidservant who had wet her hair before wiped the droplets of water from her hair with a soft fabric, and couldn't help but praise: "The girl's hair is really thick. ”

The maidservant who dressed her did not show weakness: "The girl's skin is so white. ”

There were bursts of crimson clouds on the surface of the moon in Gangneung, and I don't know if it was smoked or praised. can only be said to be worthy of being a slave who can survive in a big family, not only with quick movements in her hands, but also with such good words and good sounds.

However, she took the opportunity of bathing to look at this body, and there were traces of being pampered everywhere. His hands are white and calloused, his skin is smooth like clotted fat, and even his long hair has a faint sheen. These are all symbols of the original owner's wealthy background.

But there are exceptions.

For example, Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu with his beautiful long hair, which is also recorded in the history books. She didn't have the conditions to take care of her hair before she started her career, and it could only be attributed to her natural talent.

Hmm, what about General Xiao Huo?

In fact, Jiang Lingyue has always been a little cowardly to Huo Qu's illness. I don't know if it's the psychological shadow left by those two sharp eyes, or the modern people's admiration for historical figures, she has never dared to look directly at Huo Quai, but only dared to sneak a look twice.

In this very short period of time, she also patronized and praised people for being handsome, and she didn't pay attention to what people's hair looked like.

Jiang Lingyue secretly made up her mind in her heart - the next time we meet, we must pay attention to it.

This opportunity came quickly.

After dinner, at dusk, a servant girl came to spread the word: the adult has come to the front yard, if the girl is free, please go and meet the adult.

Jiang Lingyue was sitting on the bed, and the maid carefully wiped her hair. Hearing this, she immediately got off the bed: "I'll go right away!" ”

"Girl, your hair ......," the maid behind her was about to speak.

Jiang Lingyue stretched out her hand and touched it back, the tips of her hair were no longer dripping, just a little damp, but it was still a long time before it was completely dripping.

She didn't want Huo Qu to wait for a long time: "It's okay, just leave it like this." You guys come and help me get dressed. ”

The maidservants exchanged a look, and did not persuade again: "No." ”

Gangneung Yue came to the front yard along the way. Before entering the door, she deliberately straightened her collar and cleared her throat, and then pushed open the door with small steps: "Junhou, I'm here." ”

Huo Quai, who was in the house, turned around at this time.

He took off his heavy armor and changed into an ochre-red coat, and his cold eyebrows became clearer, showing more and more youthful spirit.

The dim sunlight peeked into the room, gilding him with a flowing light.

For a moment, Jiang Lingyue was so shaken that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

She froze: "Marquis, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

And by waiting for an answer, he looked at the person in front of him openly.

Woo woo, it's really handsome.

But soon, Gangneung-wol realizes that something is wrong.

Huo Quzhi, who obviously had something to say, was stunned the moment he saw her.

At the bottom of the cold eyes, there was also a trace of obvious consternation...... and embarrassment.

For some reason, Jiang Lingyue's intuition was a little bad.

The Huo Quzhi she has seen has always been calm and silent, and extremely majestic. When did you see him so obviously emotionally exposed?

Could it be that there is something wrong with her?

Jiang Lingyue's heart was abrupt, and she subconsciously stroked her long hair: "Junhou, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

In a place where Jiangling Yue couldn't see, a wisp of crimson clouds quietly climbed up Huo Quzhi's ear.

[Tick. 】

At this moment, the system, which had been quiet all day, suddenly rang.

[Friendly reminder to the host: In ancient times, it was very rude to give out a cloak to greet guests, and it was only done to extremely close people, such as husband and wife. 】

I don't know if it's intentional or not, the system deliberately added an accent to the word "intimate".

Gangneung Moon: ???

She was hit in disbelief for a moment, but Huo Quzhi's stunned look did not seem to be fake, and his reaction just proved that what the system said might be true......

Oh, my God!

Jiang Lingyue wailed heavily in her heart: The TV series misunderstood me!
