This makes her not afraid.
Hengwuyuan.
In the front hall, the footsteps of the medical women were light and dense. They walked back and forth, and the smell of medicine filled the entire Hengwuyuan.
Wei Yanshan opened the window, returned to his original seat, drank cold tea, and listened to the female doctor's movements. When the medical officers had exited, he walked to the inner room, where there were still five female maids guarding him.
Ying Niang was already awake, leaning against the head of the bed with her back covered with a thin quilt. She heard footsteps and turned to look at Wei Guogong.
Princess Youzhou's cheeks were turned red by the high heat, like a peony blooming unexpectedly among the lush flowers.
Wei Yanshan looked at Princess Youzhou. He was only amused by Ye's worry just now.
"A person like you..." Wei Yanshan looked at him, shook his head and sighed. Although she was beautiful, she was just a woman after all. How could she compare with Hongtu Hegemony? Wei Yanshan had already been frightened by Zhou Xu's actions in order to find her. He felt that Zhou Xu had been bewitched by this woman, and the broken jade of the Dragon Seal further confirmed his thoughts.
And how could he be as shallow as Zhou Xu?
After knowing Princess Youzhou's condition and confirming that no one would die, Wei Yanshan turned around and left.
Suddenly, a very soft voice talking to himself came from behind.
"A person like me is naturally excellent."
Wei Yanshan turned around and looked at Princess Youzhou. She did not speak loudly or get angry.
Ying Niang drank the medicine one by one with a spoon. Her eyes were lowered and her expression was calm and calm, as if the words she just retorted were not hers.
Wei Yanshan had to wait until she finished drinking the medicine and find out a bit of her contempt for him from the way she looked directly at him, like the thorn of a flower branch, completely piercing through the unfinished contempt and contempt in his words.
And the blooming flower is still blooming, her independent branches.
Chapter 296
Hengwuyuan is always quiet. When Yingniang woke up the next day, she felt much better. Her fever had subsided a lot. After she got dressed, a doctor woman came to see her eyes. Yingniang could smell the medical smell. There are several familiar medicinal smells on the woman's body.
Acupuncture and medicine, followed by washing and having breakfast.
Breakfast was fish porridge and shepherd's purse spring cakes. Ying Niang was sitting at the desk in front of the window. She touched the bowl and spoon on the table and was about to start eating when she discovered that there was a tea corner, a tea set, a coffee table, and two futons not far away in the room. Complete, frowned.
Now her eyes are much better than before, and she can even distinguish colors and shapes of various objects. As for clearly distinguishing calligraphy and painting, it is still a bit difficult.
But she told no one that her eyes had improved.
Ying Niang drank orange peel tea after dinner. She looked at the lush greenery in front of the window. The spring breeze blew in from the window and gently blew over her face. After Ying Niang blew the wind for a while, she looked up at the sun in the sky. .
The rain came very late this year. Except for a few heavy snowfalls in the first month, yesterday was the first rain in spring.
"Do you know when today is March?" Ying Niang looked at a maid next to her.
The sudden question made all the maidservants in the hall look at each other. They were ordered by the Duke to take good care of this noble man, but they were also warned by the steward not to say many words.
Ying Niang didn't hear the answer and gave up. She didn't want to embarrass these girls, but it was late March, it should be almost April. It had been more than a month since she was invited to Lantian Villa during the Flower Festival. Including these two or three days, it will be around March 212.
At noon, the female doctors filed in to check on the noble man's condition.
In the afternoon, Ying Niang walked out of the house and walked in the small courtyard in front of the hall. She found an artificial small pond. The round small pond reflected the world in the courtyard. A group of maidservants quickly followed the noble man. They also had good eyesight. Looking at her, fortunately, the noble man returned to the room after looking at the koi in the pond for a while.
The afterglow of the setting sun in front of the window fills your arms. When you notice the time, you realize that it is so long. Yingniang is listening to the wind blowing in the forest. Just when she thought that the day would end peacefully, someone comes from Hengwuyuan. The person who comes is an old man. Steward, it’s the Duke of the country who invites noble people to Fuxian Terrace.
Ying Niang looked at the dusk in the distance, and she couldn't help but feel wary. She originally thought she was going to be imprisoned for a long time, but now Wei Guogong suddenly called her, what did he want to do?
Ying Niang sat in front of the bronze mirror. In the corner of the mirror, the old housekeeper stared at her like a ghost. She changed her clothes and there was nothing on the dressing table. Maybe she was afraid that she would hurt someone with the hairpin or do something else. Bad things happen, so be on guard.
The maid was combing her hair, and Ying Niang felt that the satin tie was gently knotted, and the remaining part hung down to the ground and merged with the black skirt.
The maid stood up and put the beaded veil on the noble man, covering his face.
This nobleman was a taboo in Luoyang Palace. The old housekeeper had repeatedly asked them not to pass any news about the nobleman to the princess. If he found out who was talking too much, that person would not have to show up again.
Therefore, they have always been cautious about this nobleman, and they are all tight-lipped and dare not say anything. Since Princess Huayin returned to Luoyang from Jinling, her temperament has become more angry than before, and the people who serve her are miserable.
The cold touch of the hook behind the ear made Ying Niang tilt her head slightly in discomfort. The curtain swayed slightly, and there was a sound of broken jade when it collided. The black beads swayed and shone with a slight gold light.
"It's getting late. My lord, please leave. It won't be good if we keep the Duke waiting." The old housekeeper said.
Ying Niang suppressed her suspicions and stepped out of Hengwu Garden for the first time, eagerly observing the terrain.
"Your Majesty has difficulty with his legs and feet, so please get on the chariot." The old housekeeper said.
Yingniang's first reaction was that Fuxian Terrace was far away. She looked up into the distance, but she could only see the palace.
When the noble man got on the chariot, the maid naturally lowered the black gauze covering the surroundings of the chariot. The evening breeze held up the gauze, and then it was raised by a hand.
"Why did the Duke invite me to Fuxian Terrace?" Yingniang didn't know why, but she always had a bad premonition.
"Listen to music and enjoy dancing." said the old housekeeper.
Ying Niang didn't believe that Wei Guogong had such good intentions. What was his purpose?
Through the gap between the gauze curtains blown by the breeze, Yingniang remembered the route she took. The houses here felt more like palace residences to her. After leaving Hengwu Garden and turning around a garden, she would arrive at a connected building. In the Lang Palace, the sky was getting a little dark, and Ying Niang could not see the name of the palace clearly. Not far after leaving the palace, her vision suddenly became clear.
Ying Niang looked at the ten thousand acres of lotus pond in front of her. It was not yet the season for lotus and lotus leaves to grow. There were only sparse broken stems and leaves on the lake. However, the lake was far away from the mountains and could not be seen at a glance. It was better than the Crescent Lake at Lantian Villa. Much more.
"My lord, please sit still, don't fall into the water." The old housekeeper reminded, Ying Niang slowly put down her hand holding up the gauze. The three characters "Linyi Pavilion" on the water pavilion were illuminated by the glazed sheep's horn lamp, and she walked along the water corridor. The lights are reflected on the lake, like a strip of lights.
Yingniang waited until she arrived at Fuxian Terrace and discovered that it was a palace built on the top of the mountain. The entire top of Fuxian Mountain was filled with brilliant lights, as bright as day.
The bright light allows Ying Niang to see how many cases and seats there are in the main hall. There are ten in total, five seats on the left and right. The singing and dancing have not started yet, and the guests have not arrived yet.
And the position she is sitting in is a bit strange.
Ying Niang looked at Wei Guogong in front of the desk. He was naturally sitting in the main seat, and she was now sitting on the left and back of him. This place was supposed to be a huge bronze candlestick, because Ying Niang saw that there was one behind and to the right of the desk. , the eighteen-branched bronze candlestick candle burned all night long.
There should be one on the left, right where she is sitting.
Her seat was not as large as the desk, but only a long seat. There were several layers of gauze floating in front of her, appearing and disappearing, and she was isolated under the half-foot curtain.
The guests had arrived, and Wei Yanshan poured the wine alone and took a sip.
Not long after, the yellow bells and bells that were sitting in the row were rung, and more than fifty musicians with harps, instruments, and flutes were already in place, and more than a hundred dancers were whirling in the majestic sound. This seemed to be music from heaven, on the top of this mountain. The top must be played to the nine heavens.
Wei Yanshan glanced sideways at Princess Youzhou. She was sitting on the sapphire mat. Her black robe sleeves were like butterfly wings falling on the ground. She was like a human figure cast by the shadow of candlelight. Through the layers of gauze in front of her, she could see Go down to the main hall.
As if aware of his gaze, Princess Youzhou glanced in his direction. The curtain covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes, which were as calm as water.
In the main hall, there was new dance music, this time it was a sword dance, and the sonorous and powerful drum beats accompanied the sword dance to add to the fun. In the hall, the masters and ministers were complacent. Ying Niang even took the sword and danced when she saw a guest getting up. G.
In the midst of the excitement, Han Fu threw away his sword and said: "I heard that the singing and dancing in Youzhou has always been different from that of Guanzhong and Jianghuai. My lord, why don't you let the drummer play their farewell song?"
Wei Yanshan saw that Princess Youzhou didn't seem strange, so he looked away from her: "That's fine, I'll also listen to the folk songs of Youzhou."
In the hall, the sound of chimes and drums sounded again, with a vast and melodious tone, actors playing beats, and male voices singing loudly.
"The wild geese fly south and the grass is yellow."
"The dust fills the sky and the bride cries."
“The grass will grow again and again next year.”
"Whose son will never return?"
"No return, barren tombs, hundreds of miles uninhabited."
“It is jokingly called the flock of geese within the flock of falling geese, and is reserved for his good years.
"The new nest is like a forest, and I will never return home without joy."
"Quickly fetch the sweet rice, and quickly bring the golden jade cage."
"The head goose is wearing Zhuangyuan red, which attracts the saints to be happy from heaven."
"Ten huks of pearls and ten thousand buckets of gold will be given to the dog pigeon."
"Tens of thousands of people are waiting to be slaughtered, and if I don't teach you all over Youzhou..."
The sound of drums, music, and music was suddenly interrupted by a very loud sound of spitting. At some point, a prisoner was pressed onto the main hall with his hands tied behind his back.
"Bah! You are worthy enough to sing Youzhou's Li Song. You are such a coward and a coward. It's an insult to Li Ge for you to hear Li Ge." The man actually broke free from the soldier's grip, Standing at the front of the hall covered in blood, he cursed with fierce resentment in Youzhou dialect: "In the battle of Lujiang, I was unlucky and was caught by you. Kill me or cut into pieces as you please, but don't let me listen to you people singing Youyou songs anymore." The state's regulations must be adjusted, otherwise I will vomit out my overnight meal."
The faces of the guests in the palace were ashen and they were all angry.
After saying that, the prisoner started to vomit, pretending to vomit at the same time: "I'm just a soldier, I don't know anything. Didn't you arrest a group of us without asking any questions? How about this, if you put me back Okay, I will burn some paper money for you during the New Year and the holidays, just keep it on the ground..."
Ying Niang only heard an arrow whistle, it was so unexpected, it came so quickly, and was so short that her hearing was temporarily blanked.
She looked down at the bottom of the steps and could only see blood.
Not far ahead was a disheveled prisoner. An arrow hit his throat. Blood spurted out. His mouth opened and closed, but he could no longer make any sound. Blood flowed all over the floor.
Wei Cixin put down the arrow, and soon the soldiers in the palace dragged the body away.
"Zhou Manzi killed so many of us, but our prisoners never had a chance to survive if they fell into their hands." Cheng Quanhai said gloomily: "Since we can't get any information from Youzhou, we might as well kill them."
"There are no bones left of An Guojun's Jiedushi, not a single one of Yongping's surrender troops was left alive, blood flowed into a river outside Runzhou City, it was tragic, and Wang Wanwan was beheaded." When Shi Zhi talked about this, he originally thought It was said that the young prince committed suicide in defeat. Seeing that Wei Erlang was there, he didn't say anything, but he still felt sad: "Youzhou is so cruel, sooner or later you will be punished."
"It's a pity that the great Jiangdong that my lord worked so hard for has been taken away by him." Han Fu said sadly. Since his lord arrived in Jianghuai, he has used it as a second base to persuade people to grow crops, regulate river transportation, open trade routes, and eliminate banditry. , with the court doing nothing, the prosperity of Jianghuai can be said to have been created by Wei Gong.
"If the imperial court does not abandon its righteousness, maybe Xuzhou will still be there." Wei Ci thought to himself. Captain Jiang beside him nodded in agreement. There were also several Dazhou prefects present. Fengzhou Mu Zeng Zhiran thought of the beheaded Jinzhou Mu. , sighed, and then looked to the left and rear of Wei Guogong without knowing why, but he could only see a human figure behind the gauze curtain, and nothing else could be seen. Like most officials guessed, Fengzhou Mu guessed that it might be Wei Gong's new recruit. As for the staff, there are only a few people who know the inside story.
Afterwards, they discussed the layout of the city defense, and waited until the moon was at its peak before the banquet dispersed.
The layers of gauze in front of Ying Niang's eyes had been hooked aside by the maid, and she saw that the pool of blood on the temple was still there.
Wei Yanshan walked down the steps, walked to the chimes, and struck the chimes with a mallet. The sweet music suddenly sounded, which was the opening tune of Youzhou Li Ge.
"After listening to the singing and dancing, I wonder if Mrs. Xiao's memory has recovered a little?"
Ying Niang slowly looked at Wei Guogong and said in a daze: "What?" Then she asked blankly: "Do you know who I am?"
After Wei Yanshan finished playing the music score of Youzhou Li Ge, he walked to Princess Youzhou and looked down at her.
Ying Niang looked up at him.
Wei Yanshan bent down and was almost close to Princess Youzhou's eyelashes. Compared with before, there was only more confusion about the unknown and discomfort and panic about the blood in those eyes.
"Of course I know." Wei Yanshan said in Princess Youzhou's ear: "Mrs. Xiao, you are the Huarong Lady personally conferred by the Holy Emperor, and your husband is the murderous traitor Zhou Youzhou."
"So, you still can't remember?" Wei Yanshan's eyes were fixed on Princess Youzhou.
Ying Niang frowned and shook her head.
The curtain swayed slightly with her movements, and her face was looming.
