"The princess was drunk last night, and she woke up today feeling unwell, so it's inconvenient to see guests."
After Linglong said this with a blank face, she turned around and went back to the hall.
The Yu sisters, who didn't even step in the door, had subtle expressions, and finally had to leave embarrassingly.
At that time, the sun was bright and bright, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the Yu sisters walked back slowly.
Yujiao'er is the younger sister with a delicate temper, she complained in a low voice, "The princess concubine rewarded us yesterday, but today she doesn't even let us in, so it can be seen that last night's magnanimity was just pretending."
Yu Lou'er patted her on the shoulder, "The princess is also a woman, how can a woman not be jealous when her man is about to be robbed?"
Yu Jiaoer pursed her red lips, "But didn't Lord Mu say that the prince and concubine have no relationship, so let us take this opportunity to please the prince. But when the dance was performed yesterday, the prince didn't even look at us, he just kept staring at the prince. The concubine is watching."
Yu Lou'er was also silent for a while.
Last night, almost all the men's eyes were glued to their sisters, except for the handsome and handsome man in the seat who didn't even turn their eyes. Although the sisters are not considered to be all-powerful, they have never been treated so coldly before.
And last night, I thought the prince would come to them, but I didn't know that I had waited for a long time, but I heard that the prince went to the palace of the princess.
It seems that if they want to win the prince's favor, they will have to spend some effort.
...
It is sunset and dusk at You time.
After patrolling outside for a day, Pei Yan looked up at the red sunset in the sky.
I inadvertently remembered that a certain snack guy said that the setting sun was like a salted duck egg. Now it seems that it is indeed quite similar.
I don't know if he is not in the palace, what his little concubine did, when did he wake up, whether his head hurts after waking up from the wine, whether the lunch is good, whether he will feel bored...
He came back to his senses, and said to Sun Fuyin and other officials, "I'm lonely and tired, so I won't go to the Luohe River Boat tonight, you guys had a great time."
Sun Fuyin was taken aback, he spent a lot of time arranging this Luohe painting boat, why didn't he go
He was about to persuade him, when he saw Pei Yan give orders to the accompanying officials of the East Palace, then lifted his robe, stood up, and left with Fu Xirui.
Sun Fu Yin's words stuck in his throat, so he had no choice but to bow his hands and say, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince will be sent respectfully."
…
After running around for a day, Pei Yan first went back to Tongming Palace, changed clothes and freshened up.
"What did the princess do today?" He asked casually, with his hands open, and the little eunuch wore the jade belt for him.
Fu Xirui reported truthfully, "The Crown Princess slept until noon, and after lunch, she has been resting in Jixian Hall and hasn't gone anywhere."
Pei Yan raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that she would be able to stay idle and not run around.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Fu Xirui's hesitant expression, and he said lazily, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Fu Xirui lowered his head, "My servant heard that the Crown Princess originally wanted to wander around the palace, but, but... the two from Xifangyuan suddenly came to ask for an interview, but the Crown Princess declined politely, saying that she was unwell, and she never went out again. .”
"She's not feeling well? Can you ask the imperial doctor to see her?" Pei Yan frowned slightly, and after asking, she felt that the little girl might be suffering from a hangover.
"The crown princess said there was no serious problem, so she didn't invite her."
The corners of Pei Yan's mouth were straightened, and his tone was a bit cold, "What's the matter with Xifangyuan, who lives there?"
"It's the pair of Orchids presented by Sunfu Yin yesterday. The slave arranged them to Xifangyuan. It's quiet and convenient for the two girls to practice dancing and singing." Fu Xirui said unhurriedly.
Only now did Pei Yan remember these two people, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "She likes them a lot, doesn't she?"
Fu Xirui, "...?"
Pei Yan straightened the sleeves of his robe and strode out, "Go, go to Jixian Hall."
...
When Pei Yan arrived at Jixian Temple, Tao Ti was lying lazily on the beauty couch, with a notebook in front of her, her little head resting on one hand, her little mouth pouted, holding a writing brush, as if she was thinking about it. what.
The warm orange afterglow slanted on her body through the window, as if coated with a layer of soft light.
Pei Yan raised his hand to stop the palace people from saluting, stepped lightly, lifted the curtain and walked in.
Hearing the crisp sound of bead curtains colliding, Tao Ti subconsciously looked back.
When she saw someone coming, she was startled, the brush fell from her mouth, and a little ink streaked across her white and tender hands.
She wiped it off with a handkerchief in a panic, and sat up, "Your Highness, why are you here, are you done?"
Pei Yan said "hmm", walked to her side, looked her up and down, and said with a focused expression, "I heard that you are not feeling well, what is it?"
Having said that, Tao Ti's small face was stained with a layer of crimson, her eyes flickered and dodged, and she whispered, "No, it's nothing..."
Pei Yan moved a crescent stool and sat down beside her, "It's really nothing?"
"Well, that's the one coming..."
"that?"
"Well, Kuishui..." She lowered her head like a little ostrich.
The menstrual period is not something difficult to talk about, but when she sees Pei Yan now, she can't help but think about the content of her sexual dream last night.
Sin, sin, how could I have such a dream!
She is not innocent anymore! !
Seeing her shy and timid appearance, Pei Yan thought she was shy when she mentioned such private things as her daughter's house, so she coughed low, trying to ease the embarrassment.
After a while, he said in a warm voice, "I heard that... a woman will feel very uncomfortable when she comes to Kuishui, and sometimes the pain is unbearable. Ati, how do you feel now, is it very uncomfortable?"
Tao Ti said, "I'm alright, it's not very painful, but I just can't use my strength and I'm too lazy to move."
Seeing that her face looked good, Pei Yan felt a little relieved, "Well, that's good."
Not long after, Linglong came in with refreshments, and put down a bowl of delicious and sweet brown sugar eggs.
Brown sugar eggs are served in a porcelain white bowl. The eggs are white and round, and the soup is bright red and clear. There are a few red goji berries dotted on the surface. It is steaming hot. The unique warm aroma of brown sugar wafts out, making people feel like they are passing through the stomach after smelling it. warm current.
Pei Yan glanced at it and asked in confusion, "Brown sugar boiled eggs, what's the way to eat this?"
"Come and drink this with sunflower water. It nourishes the skin, activates qi and blood, and warms the body a lot." Tao Ti dug a spoonful of eggs with a spoon, and the egg whites, which were as white as fat, broke open, revealing the pale yellow egg yolks inside. Fragrant and warm.
She looked at him with a smile, "Do you want to try it too, Your Highness? It tastes pretty good."
Pei Yan picked up the cloud tea in front of him, shook his head and said, "Eat more."
Tao Ti took a sip. The eggs were Yunying eggs, which had no eggy smell at all. They were boiled with rose brown sugar, and they were fragrant and sweet. The warm soup entered the stomach.
She was eating slowly here, and Pei Yan sat with her shoulders straight, holding her little notebook with scribbles in her slender hands, and looked at it with great interest.
"The listed pastries are for your dim sum shop?"
"Well, first choose some high-quality, cheap and easy-to-preserve ones, and try the water."
Tao Ti said so, glanced at the back of his hand, saw the cold white skin and light blue blood vessels, she suddenly thought of something, and bit her lips lightly.
After struggling for a while, she still couldn't hold back, pretending to be casual, and asked, "Your Highness, did you stay with those two dancers from last night?"
Pei Yan's hand flipping through the booklet paused slightly, and said softly, "Well, what's wrong?"
He looked at her, but saw that her eyelashes were always drooping, and the spoon was turning gently in the bowl, making it difficult to see her emotions clearly.
After a while, she straightened her waist, raised her head to look at him, and showed an open-minded smile on her soft little face, "It's nothing, I'll just ask casually."
Pei Yan stared at her, "Huh?"
Tao Ti was still smiling, with curved eyes, "But...you still have to pay attention to your body, um, be a little restrained..."
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes lightly, "...?"
Tao Ti didn't know why she said the words "temperance", she suddenly felt a little guilty, bit her lip, turned her face away, and stammered, "I, this is a friendly suggestion from a friend... Uh, let me talk casually, just listen to it casually... Forget it, just pretend you didn’t hear it.”
After finishing speaking, she quickly picked up the brown sugar eggs and turned to the other side, leaving half a silhouette for him.
Pei Yan's dark eyes moved slightly.
It's really interesting that the little girl is trying to hide her appearance.
He put the booklet aside, hummed faintly, "Ah Ti, turn around."
The little girl's shoulders trembled slightly, but she didn't turn around.
So he said it again, this time in a serious and serious tone.
After all, Tao Ti turned around, her gaze was a little erratic, "What, what's wrong?"
Pei Yan stretched his hand, put the soup bowl in her hand aside, slightly arched his slender fingers, and tapped her forehead, "Little fool."
Tao Ti, "..."
Pei Yan smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about in your little head? They are left alone to show you how to dance."
Tao Ti's eyes widened, "Huh?"
Pei Yandao, "Last night when you saw them dancing, your eyes were straight. Gu was busy outside most of the day and didn't have time to accompany you. He was afraid that you would be bored in the palace alone, so he wanted to keep them to relieve your boredom."
Tao Ti was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the rouge-like blush stained her snow-white face little by little, "So, so it was like this, I thought..."
Pei Yan couldn't help laughing, "You little girl, you know what restraint is?"
Besides, how did she know how hard it is to control the thick place.
He flushed several buckets of cold water last night!
