In the early winter weather, the wind and cold invaded, and it was reasonable to faint.
Ye Jinxiao glanced at her lightly, not bothering to expose her, and they returned to Lengyuan.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, the magpies on the branches flapped their wings happily and chirped non-stop.
She glanced.
"Did you feed the birds properly while I was away?"
Rou'er covered her red and swollen face, "Hey, miss, I followed your instructions and grabbed a handful of extra rice grains every day."
She didn't understand. These birds were wild, so why did the lady keep them as pets?
Strangely enough, not only were these magpies not afraid of people, they even stood on her palms and pecked rice grains.
"Come inside."
The cold courtyard is dilapidated and desolate. Although it has been cleaned, the yellowed walls, dilapidated ruins, paper window frames, and tables and chairs with broken legs all reflect the desolation.
Aunt Zhu glanced around and frowned slightly.
Princess Yu lives here?
"Made Aunt Zhu laugh." Ye Jinxiao brought a clean stool over.
Aunt Zhu took it with both hands, without any shyness, and said generously: "I am here to assist you on the order of the Supreme Emperor. As long as you can cure the Supreme Emperor, I will be happy to sleep in the woodshed."
Ye Jinxiao suddenly realized.
I see.
Too.
Wu Dehuang has such a noble status, and she is a "half-way doctor". Naturally, she does not dare to use her medicine without worry, so it is reasonable to send people to keep an eye on her.
"Don't worry, Aunt Zhu, I will do my best for the Supreme Emperor."
"That's it, Princess Laoyu."
With a few polite words, Ye Jinxiao walked to the cabinet over there, pretending to look for something in the drawer, but actually took out the iodine medicine and gauze from the bracelet at an angle that few people could see.
"Rou'er, Cui'er, let me see where you are injured."
Rou'er was seriously injured. Her back, arms, and waist were all bruised and bruised by the boards, and there were bruises.
Ye Jinxiao rubbed her with medicinal wine, which made Rouer grimace in pain.
She wanted to scold Concubine Liu, but in front of Aunt Zhu, she felt a little timid, so she only dared to grit her teeth, clenched her fists, and scolded more tactfully:
"Miss, Concubine Liu has gone too far. If Aunt Zhu hadn't upheld justice today, I'm afraid she would have succeeded again."
Aunt Zhu’s eyelids twitched.
again?
"We didn't provoke her, why is she so bad? I really don't know why the prince likes her."
"If I were a man, I wouldn't even fall in love with her..."
He complained in a low voice with dissatisfaction.
Liu Mingyue was poisoned by the poison of heartbroken grass, which could not be cured for a while, so Ye Jinxiao went to the palace to recover with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, the woman's life was very tough. After surviving the poison, she immediately dealt cruelly to her people.
Thinking of the hard-won reconciliation...
Ye Jinxiao was not in a high mood.
"I was negligent today. This will never happen again."
"Miss, Rou'er doesn't mean to blame you."
"I know."
He quickly treated Rou'er's injuries and turned to see Cui'er again.
When the accident happened, Rou'er protected Tweetie fiercely, so there were only a few bruises on Tweetie's body, but she was frightened, she was young, and she had never seen anything like this.
"Tui'er, I scared you." She sighed heavily.
Cui'er was very strong. She held her hands tightly and suppressed the fear in her eyes. Her red eyes didn't even shed a single tear.
"Sister Xiao, it was sister Rou'er who protected me."
"I didn't expect Concubine Liu to be so bad. In the epidemic area, everyone was deceived by her appearance."
"My mother said that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. Sooner or later she will be punished. Tweety has done nothing wrong and Tweety is not afraid."
The little girl raised her head, her voice was still trembling, but she could already distinguish right from wrong, good from evil.
Ye Jinxiao touched her head with a complicated expression.
The little girl is kind and smart, but unfortunately her parents have passed away...
According to the normal situation of ordinary people, if she grows up for two years, she will either be sold into a house as a maid, or be favored by some wealthy masters. If she is bought into a house and used as a child bride, in short, it will be difficult for her to settle down and live on her own. .
The ancient world has always been unfair to women.
Ye Jinxiao doesn't think about that much for the time being.
"Rou'er, you clean up the room next door and let Aunt Zhu live in it, and I'll go cook."
Aunt Zhu stared, her expression changed twice in one day.
"Princess Yu, do you cook yourself?"
No servants to serve?
Ye Jinxiao rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "My cooking skills are quite good, but I am too busy on weekdays and have no time to do it. Aunt Zhu, sit down for a while and try my skills later."
-
Moon Pavilion.
The wing is elegant, with incense burning in the corner.
Liu Mingyue changed into clean clothes, lay on the bed, fed her a bowl of ginger soup, and her face turned rosy.
Yuezhu held the empty bowl and saw that the prince had been standing at the door and did not come in.
Vaguely, I feel that the prince's concern for his concubine is not as good as before...
But she didn't dare to say another word.
"Cough, cough..." On the couch, the woman coughed softly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is awake!" Yuezhu happily put down the bowl and hurriedly went to help his concubine.
"Concubine, you are finally awake. The doctor said that you have contracted the cold and are still very weak... Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Why doesn't the prince come over?
Why are you standing at the door, lost in thought?
"Ahem...brother Yuci..."
At the door, Chu Yuci looked in the direction of the north chamber, which was the location of the cold courtyard, where smoke was curling up.
The five senses of martial arts practitioners are beyond the sharpness of ordinary people. Even from a long distance, you can vaguely hear the laughter in the cold courtyard.
He actually clearly distinguished Ye Jinxiao's voice from several voices.
After standing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and returned to the house calmly.
"woke up."
He pulled out a stool and sat in front of the bed.
Liu Mingyue weakly propped herself up, coughing muffledly, her face still a little pale and weak, and she was obviously aware of the man's cold attitude.
"Brother Yuci, are you blaming me?"
She lowered her eyes and smiled to herself:
"Yue'er was so frightened that she became a warrior. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of brother Yuci, she turned out to be a hypocritical, jealous, and vicious person..."
Chu Yuci frowned.
Looking at the face in front of him, he remembered that rainy night seven years ago, when the killer was chasing him. He was poisoned and comatose, and his life was hanging by a thread. If Liu Mingyue hadn't risked his life to lure the killer away, he wouldn't have been saved.
He owed Liu Mingyue his life.
He finally said in a deep voice: "This king did not mean that."
It is easy to repay a debt of favor, but it is difficult to repay the kindness of life.
"What does that mean?" Liu Mingyue had tears in her eyes.
"In order to make room for my sister, I am willing to be a concubine. As long as I can stay with you, I have nothing else to ask for. How can the prince understand my feelings..."
She tilted her head to one side in frustration.
Chu Yuci pursed his thin lips tightly. He was indeed sorry for Liu Mingyue about marrying Ye Jinxiao.
"Don't cry, I believe in you."
"I was just thinking about the epidemic. I should go to Nancheng and Feicheng in a few days to deal with follow-up matters."
Liu Mingyue's eyes were red and she was dubious.
"real?"
Hold his big palm, place it tightly on your cheek, and slowly slide it down to your neck and collar...
"If brother Yuci really pities Yue'er, can you... love Yue'er well?"
In an instant, Chu Yuci suddenly pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted.
All this time, he had no thoughts about her, let alone any desire between men and women.
"You have contracted the cold and are weak. Take good care of yourself first. I have official duties to attend to and will come to see you later."
After saying that, leave immediately.
Liu Mingyue's face turned pale.
That's it again.
always like this……
She is half a year younger than Ye Jinxiao, and she only had hairpins (adult age in ancient times) last month.
Before they got married, no matter how she provoked him, he always refused, saying that she was too young and he didn't want to hurt her. After getting married, when she finally got her hair, he was plagued by epidemics and never touched her at all.
So far, they haven't even settled into a house.
What official business is more important than her?
Why don't you touch her?
Doesn't he have her in his heart?
He gave her all the favor, status, and wealth she wanted. It could be said that he responded to her requests and was envied by everyone, but he didn't touch her at all.
what is this?
He even touched that bitch Ye Jinxiao. With her figure, face, and voice, how could she be inferior to that bitch?
