Chapter Twenty-Three: Sending Incense in the Early Morning

The next morning, Yuan Xi was still asleep, and there were only a few groggy little girls in the courtyard who were doing the necessary daily sprinkling, Ling'er yawned, reached out to straighten a velvet flower in her hair, and walked out of the room lazily.

Suddenly, I saw a figure sitting under the corridor, Ling'er beckoned to the little girl to ask, only to know that Yuan Yue was sitting here in the morning. Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "Second Miss, why did you come here so early?" Still sitting under the porch, this group of little girls became more and more ignorant of the rules, and let the second miss blow in the cold wind. ”

Ling'er helped Yuan Yue into the room, and muttered incessantly: "If the second miss freezes, I will send them to the laundry room to do coolies." ”

Yuan Yue sighed lightly and said, "The third sister hasn't gotten up yet, right? Don't wake her up." Yuan Yue lifted the curtain and glanced inside, and then pulled Ling'er to the outer room.

Ling'er poured a cup of new tea for Yuan Yue on the table, and gave her some fruit, but Yuan Yue looked preoccupied and couldn't drink anything. Ling'er said with a smile: "Why don't you sit down with the second lady first, and I'll wake up the young lady?"

Yuan Yue shook her head: "The third sister is weak, let's let her rest well." I just came to ask about her condition, and it's the same for you. Was she better last night?"

"It's better, I thank the second miss for our young lady's concern. Ling'er smiled and picked a spoonful of rose honey from the small celadon jar and put it into Yuanyue's teacup.

Yuan Yue was a little weak-hearted, and responded lightly. Ling'er suddenly remembered that she lived in the old lady's place last night, so she smiled and said, "The second lady slept with the old lady yesterday, but are you still used to it?"

Yuan Yue lowered her eyelids, smiled and nodded: "The old lady treats me very well, and it is all borrowed from the blessing of the third sister." After a while, she hesitated and said, "The old lady told me to stay, and I don't have to move back." It was the third sister who helped me, and I also knew in my heart that the third sister treated me closely, so the old lady was willing to take a look. Speaking of which, I really have to thank the third sister. ”

As she spoke, Yuan Yue took out a small wooden cylinder from her sleeve, on which were the words "tranquility incense". Yuan Yue handed the incense to Ling'er and said: "This is the old lady's reward yesterday, I remember, the third sister has been having nightmares, I want to come, this incense third sister can be used, so I brought it." Although it is said that the third sister is still taking medicine, I have asked someone, this fragrance is mild, and it does not clash with the medicinal properties, the third sister loves incense, and this is the most suitable to use. ”

Ling'er opened the wooden tube, a thin fragrance wafted out of the tube, at a glance, she knew that it was a first-class good spice, the second lady usually didn't have any good things, just got some rewards, so she sent it here non-stop, it can be seen that she is a person who knows gratitude, and Yuanxi treats her well in vain. Ling Er's heart was warm for a while, and she said with a smile: "Then I will thank you for my young lady." ”

Ling'er originally wanted to leave her for dinner, but Yuan Yue's mind didn't seem to be on this, and after chatting for a while, she left in a hurry. It wasn't until the sun was above the courtyard wall that Won-hee turned over and sat up. Ling'er had already lit the incense, Yuan Xi frowned and suddenly felt shocked, and then looked around, he was still in Zichen Pavilion, and then put down his hanging heart.

The taste of this aroma is actually the same as the taste in Xiao Rongshen's study! In a trance, Yuan Xi thought that he had returned to the tiger's den and dragon pool in Prince He's mansion! Yuan Xi lifted the bed tent: "Ling'er, what kind of incense did you get?"

Ling'er entered the warm pavilion and saw that Yuan Xi's complexion was much better, so he smiled and said, "It seems that the doctor's medicine yesterday was good, and the young lady's complexion is much better than yesterday." You don't know, you vomited a lot of blood yesterday, it's scary. ”

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and didn't say anything. In the box sent by Yuan Jie, there was an eighteen anti medicine, and she knew it as soon as she opened the box. It's just that it's too chilling, so I deliberately dip that medicine. In the previous life, in the Prince's Mansion, the alchemy priest had taught her a lot, so she was at least familiar with pharmacology, so how could she not have consequences? I just remembered that these two herbs were very serious on the surface, but in fact, they happened to have the effect of spitting out blood stasis, and besides, ordinary doctors couldn't diagnose it, so they wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

"Yes, I vomited blood yesterday, why don't I feel anything at all?" Yuan Xi said duplicity, stood up and walked out.

"Third Miss, be careful of getting dizzy. Ling'er caught up and put a satin jacket with an evergreen calyx pattern on Yuan Xi's body: "No, the old man was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it, let alone the old lady." The fourth girl is the same, she is so ruthless, obviously she did something wrong, we don't care, she is endless, she is so ruthless. ”

Yuan Xi sat in front of the makeup mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, and only felt that he had lost a lot of weight. It's no wonder that for a while, the commotion in the house is really too great. Yuan Xi suddenly remembered the incense, and asked, "This fragrance is very strange, where did you get it?"

Ling'er sniffed: "Is it weird? I think it smells good, even better than the lily fragrance we usually use." ”

The taste is really good, I remember that in the previous life, Xiao Rongshen once said to himself that this is his favorite taste. In the previous life, I was stupid and stupid, and I only thought it was the sweetest smell in the world, but now I smell it, and I only feel that it is bitter, and it smells of copper and blood.

"It was the old lady who rewarded the second lady, and the second lady sent it to us early in the morning, saying that this incense does not clash with the medicine you take, and it can also be used in illness. Ling'er took a comb and gently combed it on Yuan Xi's head: "Don't you like this taste?"

Dislike? Yes, very much dislike, even hate. Yuan Xi lightly ordered: "Go and destroy it." ”

Ling'er put away her smile, lowered her head, took a cup of tea, and extinguished the incense. Yuan Xi suddenly realized: "What is the old lady rewarding the second sister for?"

Ling'er let out a long sigh: "The second lady went to live with the old lady, probably to make her more accustomed to living, right?"

After not seeing each other overnight, Yuan Yue actually lived in the old lady's room? Yuan Xi wondered for a while: "Why?"

Ling'er was simple-minded, and she didn't know why, so she just lowered her head and moved the comb carefully: "As soon as you vomited blood yesterday, the old lady and the old man were moved, saying that the fourth lady had a bad heart, and asked the fourth lady to go to the Ronghua Temple a hundred miles away to cultivate herself and learn Buddhism." Aunt Zheng was unhappy and scolded outside. The second miss kept crying, saying that she didn't look at the fourth miss, I'm sorry for you or something, probably because she was afraid that the second miss would go back and be angry. So the old lady was distressed, so she asked her to live there. ”

Yuan Yue cried a lot, she must know something in her heart, it seems that the poison is Yuan Jie's mistake. Yuan Xi closed his eyes and said, "As soon as Yuan Jie leaves, won't the second sister still be angry when she goes back?"

Ling'er said: "I can't think of it, when the second lady came in the morning, she said that the old lady had let her live forever." It seems that even if Aunt Zheng wants to find a punching bag, she can only do it to the little girls. ”

Stay forever?Yuan Xi frowned, this result is not normal, but it seems to have some more deliberate ingredients. But if you think about it, there is nothing strange about it, Yuan Yue is not a fish in the pond, and she will never be willing to live under others. She was the same in the previous life, but not as quickly as in this life.

"Open the window and let the smell out. ”

Ling'er answered, and the door of the warm pavilion was also opened, and the cold wind blew into the room.

"Miss, if you don't like this incense, I'll take it out and throw it away. ”

Ling'er was about to throw away the wooden tube as she spoke, but Yuan Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it: "No need, the second sister kindly sent us something, and discarded it at will, wouldn't it hurt the second sister's heart? ”

Ling'er didn't say anything more, put the incense box back on the table, and carefully bunned Yuanxi's hair. The two little girls outside the warm pavilion came in with food boxes, and when they saw that there was no one in the room, the two chatted unscrupulously.

"I heard that the second miss had a bitter trick yesterday, and the crying old lady's heart softened, so she took the second miss directly to live beside her. I look at the future, there will be another powerful master in our house. ”

"It's not, if you want to say that these two young ladies are really scheming, they followed our young lady from the beginning, most of her good things are rewarded by our young lady, and she will become the climate in the future, I'm afraid I will dump our young lady. ”

"I think it's possible, a person like her who picks up high and steps low, when she climbs on the head of our third lady one day, she has to cross the river and tear down the bridge, you just see. ”

Ling'er frowned, gritted her teeth and didn't speak. Yuan Xi commanded softly: "Tell the steward that these two girls don't understand the rules, and transfer them to do rough work." ”

Ling'er turned around and hesitated for a while, then turned back again. Seeing that she didn't move, Yuan Xi asked, "Why don't you go?"

Ling Er hesitated for a while: "Miss, don't you think that what they said actually has some truth? The second miss is not shallow in her scheming, if she also deals with us like the eldest miss, we will be attacked from the back." Besides, she knows that the old lady's most precious thing is you, and she still wants to go to the old lady's side to compete for this favor, isn't it a bit scheming?"

Yuan Xi didn't care about this, took the small wooden tube with spices, and sniffed it: "The second sister has not been valued since she was a child, she is not a long-term sister, her father cares little about her, and her mother and sister are extremely ignorant, she rarely has a comfortable life." Now, it is her blessing to be able to live next to the old lady, even if it is deliberate, it is not a big deal. They are all father's daughters, and they want to be favored by their grandmothers, shouldn't they?"

"But......" Ling'er lowered her head: "I'm still a little worried, in case she ......"

"No case, grandmother is an understanding person, the second sister just wants to find a backer in this family, and she doesn't want to be bullied anymore, this point, the old lady is like a mirror in her heart. The second sister was also afraid that I would mind, so she got up early in the morning and came to deliver something to us. The intention is to tell us that she has no intention of competing for favor, but just wants to settle down. Yuan Xi took Dai Shi and carefully described the bay eyebrows.

Ling'er was still thinking about it, and Yuan Xi pushed her with a smile: "Why don't you go soon?" ”
