Hearing that the little eunuch said that Pei Yan could not come, Tao Ti frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Linglong thought she was upset, and was about to open her mouth to offer a few words of relief, but Zishuang at the side took the conversation away, "Master, it's fine if the prince doesn't come, you'll be more comfortable eating yours. If the prince really comes Now, you still have to wait on him by the side."
Zishuang's voice was already high-pitched, but when these words came out of her mouth, the connotation of disgust became more and more obvious.
For a moment, the faces of the Donggong palace people in the hall became uneasy.
This guy is designed to bring hatred to himself, right? Tao Ti raised her eyelids to glance at Zishuang, and called out in a deep voice, "Zishuang."
Zishuang was swept away by her eyes, and suddenly felt guilty, she quickly lowered her head, "Master, this servant is not worth it for you."
"No need." Tao Ti said flatly, "Okay, you don't need to serve here."
"Gu, master..." Zishuang was astonished.
"Can't you understand me?"
"...Yes." Zishuang looked frustrated, and when she left, she couldn't help but give Linglong a hard look.
Linglong was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she said to Tao Ti, "Princess, don't be angry, Your Highness has always been diligent, it's not that he didn't come on purpose..."
Tao Ti smiled slightly at her, "I'm not angry, I just thought that it's already this time, His Highness is still busy, can his body take it?"
Just last night, he coughed even when he said a word a little loudly. Could it be that he vomited blood when he was too busy
Linglong looked at Tao Ti in surprise, never expecting that she was actually concerned about His Highness's body.
Tao Ti said, "Pass the meal, I'm hungry too."
Not long after, the sandalwood table was filled with all kinds of dishes, as well as pastries and candied fruits on silver plates. It looks rich, but... still light!
Even the meat is stewed, although the sauce is abundant, the presentation looks good. But Tao Ti, who loves spicy food, is still a little disappointed. She really wants to eat hot and sour noodles, spicy hot pot, butter hot pot, fish head with chopped pepper, boiled pork slices, spicy chicken with bait cubes, spicy fried rice noodles, Pepper Chicken…
"Linglong, does the dining room in the East Palace cook spicy dishes, just stronger ones?"
"Back to the princess, the imperial doctor explained that your highness is weak and needs a lighter diet, so the cooking in the dining room has always been light..." After a pause, Linglong added, "If the princess wants to eat something strong, the servant girl Go to the dining room and ask them to make a few more dishes?"
"Forget it." Tao Ti called Linglong to stop, and glanced at the full table, there was enough for her to eat, any more would be a waste.
While picking up the food, she thought about all kinds of delicacies, wondering when she could go to the dining room, do it herself, and have enough food and clothing.
—
After eating and drinking enough, Tao Ti ordered a rose bath of the same style as in the costume film and television drama.
After playing with the brightly colored petals floating on the water for a while, Tao Ti closed her eyes and lay down in the steamy bathtub with a relaxed body, the memories of her previous life and this life intertwined in her mind.
Alas, I don't know how my parents will react when they know that she has gone to the underworld? And Qiongqi's stupid dog, I'm afraid he will die of guilt.
It's a pity that I have a human body now, and I have no magic power. I can only wait for this body to die, and then go to the underworld to ask for an explanation.
While Tao Ti was thinking wildly, Pei Yan arrived outside the gate of Yaoguang Hall.
Seeing the palace maids guarding the door one by one, he frowned slightly and asked, "Where is the princess?"
"Return to Your Highness, the princess is taking a bath in the clean room."
"Aren't you going in to serve?"
"The princess said that she wanted to be alone and let the servants wait outside."
Send the palace people away and be alone
Pei Yan suddenly thought of something, his face sank, he pushed the door straight and walked in.
Palace people, "!!!"
The prince... Could it be that he wants to play with the prince concubine
Inside the house, Pei Yan strode close to the seven-foot-tall embroidered peony screen, with a faint, moist aroma in his nose.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and knocked on the screen.
"Dong Dong" two crisp sounds.
Tao Ti was about to fall asleep, but she woke up suddenly, thinking that the palace servants came to urge her, she subconsciously said, "I really don't need you to wait on me, I will change my clothes and come out right away."
Pei Yan stood outside the screen, "..."
It's fine if you don't seek death.
He was about to move when he heard the sound of splashing water.
The next moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the graceful figure cast on the screen.
The screen was made of high-quality silk, opaque to the light. Under the bright candlelight, the figure was curvy and graceful, with a slender waist.
Pei Yan's cheeks were slightly hot, and he quickly looked away. At this moment, there was another soft "ah" sound from behind the screen.
"Well, can you help me get that bra, uh, bellyband, please? I forgot to take it."
Pei Yan: "..."
His eyes silently fell on the table case, and a smoky pink pocket coat was stacked on the tray.
Brocade material, thin, embroidered with mandarin ducks and lotus patterns, the tie is not a silk ribbon, but a thin gold chain.
He was silent for a moment, and walked to the table. The knuckle-knuckle hands twisted a gold chain, and the small triangular coat was lifted lightly.
"Knock knock knock."
He knocked on the screen three times and stretched out his hood.
Immediately, a white and delicate arm stretched out, quickly took the pocket coat, and the little girl inside said thank you crisply.
Pei Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he walked out without saying a word.
The palace people outside the palace were a little surprised to see the prince walking out again.
I saw Pei Yan standing on the porch with his hands behind his back, Ruyu's chin slightly raised, as if admiring the moon.
The bright moonlight sprinkled his hair, his handsome facial features, and his body of Zhilan Yushu.
The breeze blew by, and the sleeves of the clothes fluttered, like an exiled fairy.
Let's say that after Tao Ti put on her pajamas, she didn't see the palace servants coming in for a long time, so she found the door by herself.
She raised her hand and gently pushed the door open, and the next second, she froze—
Mom, I, I saw a fairy, oh no, a fairy man! ! !
Perhaps Tao Ti's gaze was too hot, Pei Yan turned around slowly.
Tao Ti was shocked, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her mouth and nose. Fortunately, there was no drooling or nosebleed.
"Your Highness, when did you come here? Why don't you sit inside? Although it's March now, the wind at night is still a bit cold. Be careful not to catch a cold." It seems very long-winded, does he find her annoying
Pei Yan caught her annoyed expression at a glance, the corners of her lips raised slightly, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."
Tao Ti gathered the light purple coat on her body, took two steps outside, raised her little head and looked, "It's quite round."
She was standing next to him, getting close, Pei Yan's nose was filled with the faint sweet fragrance of her body.
He inadvertently thought, what bath bean recipe did she use for bathing, it smells so fragrant
Tao Ti looked at the moon and chatted casually, "Have you had dinner, Your Highness?"
"Well, I've used it alone." Pei Yan said, and looked at her with a little apology, "Before I was dealing with business alone, so I didn't come to accompany you for dinner. I hope you don't mind."
Tao Ti raised her two little hands and waved them, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind, you are busy with your work, leave me alone, just pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
Pei Yan's warm eyes lingered on her two tender little hands for a moment, then looked away, "Yes."
Suddenly, Tao Ti smelled an unpleasant smell of medicine.
She followed the scent of the medicine, and saw Pei Yan's personal eunuch Fu Xirui walking over with a tray, "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."
The black soup was served in a jade bowl, it was steaming hot and had a strong bitter taste.
Tao Ti couldn't help pursing her lips when she smelled it. Is this stuff for people to drink
Seeing that Pei Yan's face remained unchanged, he picked up the soup and gulped it down.
The whole time, he didn't even frown.
After finishing the decoction, Pei Yan simply rinsed his mouth with water.
Tao Ti asked Fu Xirui, "Why don't you prepare some sugar or candied fruit? You can also suppress the bitterness after drinking the medicine."
Fu Xirui was slightly taken aback, "This..."
Pei Yan put the handkerchief for wiping his mouth back on the tray, and said indifferently, "Gu is not a child, he cries after drinking the medicine and no sugar."
Tao Ti frowned, and whispered, "But this medicine looks very bitter, and who stipulated that adults can't eat sugar?"
"One bowl in the morning, one bowl before going to bed, three hundred and sixty days a year, every day." A forced smile appeared on Pei Yan's warm face, "I'm already used to this bitter taste."
got used to.
Those three simple words suddenly made Tao Ti's chest a little stuffy.
After thinking about it, her voice softened unconsciously, "Then I'll prepare some candied fruit for you in the future, so you don't have to suffer so much."
Pei Yan was taken aback by the sound, then He Xu smiled at her, "Okay."
The ancients paid attention to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The prince's health is not good, so his work and rest are more regular.
After midnight, Tao Ti and Pei Yan shared the same bed like last night.
Tao Ti's satin-like black hair is piled on the top of her head. In her previous life, she had short and neat hair, but this body's hair is long and thick, and can hang below the hip line. Shower tonight, she spends most of her time on her hair. Now the hair is loose, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeates the big red wedding tent.
Pei Yan smelled the sweet fragrance that belonged to his daughter's house, and his eyes darkened. He tried to breathe calmly, but he kept thinking of the scene of him handing her the coat in his mind.
A smoky pink, a fine white.
At this time, a small, soft call suddenly sounded in my ear, "Your Highness, are you asleep?"
In the darkness, Pei Yan's eyelashes moved slightly, after thinking about it, he still replied, "What's wrong?"
The soft voice sounded again, "I just want to tell you something. I don't know if you have heard a saying, it is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, knowing the face but not the heart... In this world, some people seem to be Good people, but in fact they are not so good inside...”
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, "Huh?"
Tao Ti continued, "You are a very good person, but if you are too good, you will be easily bullied and schemed... Then I will talk about another saying, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others." No... uh, you know what I mean?"
Pei Yan bent her lips and said softly, "I don't quite understand."
Tao Ti bit her lip, turned over suddenly, and leaned half of her body on her elbows, facing him.
After struggling for two seconds, he said bluntly, "Didn't we greet the queen today? The queen is still very kind. But the second princess, I personally feel that she is not so friendly..."
Seeing that Pei Yan didn't speak, she felt guilty, did she talk too much? She tried to explain, "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sow discord, I just want to remind you..."
After a long silence, Pei Yanwen's voice sounded, "Well, Gu knows."
Tao Ti, "..."
"I know what you said." Pei Yan turned around, his eyes were very bright with the faint light coming in from outside the curtain, "Gu is weak and sick, but still occupies the position of prince, third brother and Lingbi If you feel dissatisfied in your heart, Gu can understand. But it won't be long... Ahem, at most one year later, Gu will be able to give up the crown prince to him."
Seeing him coughing again, Tao Ti was startled, "Are you okay?"
Pei Yan turned to the other side, coughing and said, "No...I'm fine..."
"I've coughed like this, so I'm fine." Tao Ti lifted the quilt, got up and said, "I'll get you a glass of water."
She was sleeping in the bed, and if she wanted to get out, she had to pass Pei Yan who was sleeping outside.
It's not easy to walk, she can only crawl over. First one hand straddled his body, then the legs... Halfway through the stride, she subconsciously glanced down, unexpectedly, Pei Yan was also looking at him.
Face to face, eye to eye.
Looking at the man's beautiful and innocent face, Tao Ti felt like a bastard who spoiled a woman from a good family
"Cough..." She looked away in embarrassment, and crawled over in a hurry.
A strand of soft hair swept across Pei Yan's face, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose. He turned his head and stared at the petite and bumpy back.
Tao Ti quickly came over with a cup of warm water, and said softly, "Here, the water temperature is just right, not too hot."
She is wearing a snow-white pajamas today, perhaps because she fell asleep just now, it is a little loose now, the neckline is slightly open, revealing a corner of the pocket. Indistinctly, one could still see the thin gold chain hanging behind her neck, shining with golden light.
Pei Yan's thin lips unconsciously clenched, took the water glass, and drank it down.
Seeing that he no longer coughed after drinking the water, Tao Ti breathed a sigh of relief and put the water glass back.
Returning to the bed, in order to avoid the initial embarrassment, she crawled over from the end of the bed.
Seeing that she was lying down, Pei Yanxiu raised her long and cold white arm slightly, and the big red curtain hung down again, enveloping the fragrance in the room.
"I have to go back tomorrow, it's not good to be late." He said, "Go to sleep."
back door? Tao Ti was taken aback.
If Pei Yan didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about it.
Thinking about the situation of the original owner's natal family's Yongwei Hou Mansion, Tao Ti was a little worried. It seemed that there would be another trouble tomorrow.
Hearing her sigh, Pei Yan comforted, "Don't worry too much, Gu will go back with you tomorrow."
Tao Ti understands that he accompanied her back to Yongweihou Mansion to show everyone how much he values her and to support her face.
She was grateful in her heart, and said softly, "Thank you."
