Ye Jiao ate freely, but Qi Yun couldn't swallow.
He could guess early in the morning that the identity of the third son was unusual, but now he just confirmed this.
The woman named Hua Ning, since she was called His Royal Highness, was either a princess or a princess, and said that her father was seriously ill and came to look for her brother, and now the only one in the palace is seriously ill.
For such a pair, one of them is a prince and the other is a princess.
Since it is the third son, I am afraid that he is the third prince.
However, he is just an ordinary commoner and has nothing to do with officials and eunuchs. This is not at the feet of the emperor. Ordinary people are actually similar to his wife. Hearing the word "His Royal Highness", he is afraid that he will not be able to tell who it is, let alone know the names of the prince and the prince. .
If he was the third prince, Qi Yun would still be able to know that it was King Duan. After all, the fief that King Duan was awarded was not far from here, and everyone nearby knew it.
But, Duan Wang... Qi Yun suddenly felt that the invitation in his arms was a little hot.
Ye Jiao saw that he always served her vegetables, so she turned her head to look at him: "Xianggong, you eat too."
Qi Yun smiled and sighed in his heart.
These things really can't be said before eating, it really affects the appetite.
Ye Jiao took the chopsticks and Luo Min meat for him: "This is delicious, Xianggong moves the chopsticks."
Even if Qi Yun thought about it now, he couldn't eat it, but looking at Ye Jiao's expectant eyes, he still ate it.
When Ye Jiao saw what she had taken, he ate it, so she was so happy to feed her husband in return, Qi Yun couldn't bear to brush the lady's good intentions, and accepted all the orders, but in the end she ate more than usual.
When night fell, Ye Jiao coaxed Xu Bao, who had just finished breastfeeding, to sleep on the bed, but looked at Qi Yun.
Qi Yun met her gaze, and said warmly, "What do you think of me, Jiao Niang?"
Ye Jiao looked at Xu Bao, who was sleeping soundly, and pulled a small quilt to cover him, then wrapped it with a soft pillow, and then said to Qi Yun, "Xiang Gong, you just said you wanted to explain Hua Ning's name to me. of."
Small ginseng apparently has a good memory.
Qi Yun let out a sigh of relief, didn't hide it from her, pulled her to sit down, and explained the matter to her clearly and clearly.
After she had finished speaking, Ye Jiao blinked and summed up: "That is to say, the third son and Hua Ning are brothers and sisters, both born of the emperor, right?"
Qi Yun nodded.
"Big?"
"It's huge."
"Bigger than the county magistrate in the city?"
"Big."
"Oh." Ye Jiao didn't say anything more, she answered and yawned, "I've written down these names, so I won't call them wrong next time. Master, let's sleep." to bed.
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, but she also went into the bed tent, lay down beside Ye Jiao, and said softly, "Aren't you afraid of Jiao Niang?"
Ye Jiao leaned over comfortably and let Qi Yun surround her, her voice soft: "Why should you be afraid? I haven't messed with him or done anything bad, so what are you afraid of?"
The words made Qi Yun stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
Yes, what are you afraid of? When things come and go, you can't avoid it, and it's true that you come up with a way.
Bowing his head and kissing Ye Jiao's forehead, Qi Yun said softly, "Well, Jiao Niang is very reasonable."
Ye Jiao muttered, "Tomorrow Hua Ning invites me to speak, and I promise her."
… tomorrow
Qi Yun remembered that the time when the Third Young Master invited him to go was also tomorrow.
It seemed that this boat had to be boarded, whether it was for Ye Jiao or herself, Qi Yun was going to go this time.
On the other hand, Chu Chengyun, who was being read by Qi Yun, didn't have the slightest intention. He didn't know that the Seventh Princess would invite Ye Jiao, but it was just a coincidence.
It's just that Qi Yun still guessed something right, and Chu Chengyun really had the intention to tell him something important.
"Xianggong, do you really value him so much?" Mrs. Meng sat on the couch, reaching out and gently kneading Chu Chengyun's shoulders.
Chu Chengyun's injury has not yet healed, and it will hurt to move a little, so he can only rest in bed.
But the body is raised, but the head cannot relax.
He leaned against the cushion, looked at Meng Shi, and said slowly: "Sooner or later, Erlang will know about these things. I have a caravan pact with him, and I can't fool him. If it happens in the future, he will It's good to be a royal businessman. If it's not good, it means that the big thing will not happen. Naturally, he has to get rid of me early, and now it is more and more impossible to hide it. "
As soon as Chu Chengyun said these words, Meng's heart was relieved a lot.
Although Princess Hua Ning had already spoken up when she came this morning, and Chu Chengyun had agreed to return to Beijing, Mrs. Meng was still worried, for fear that he might change his mind temporarily.
Now that Chu Chengyun can give Qi Yun such a plan, at least it shows that he is determined to go back.
With a little peace of mind, Mrs. Meng's face paused slightly, and looked at him puzzled: "Xianggong, I only thought that you and Qi Sanlang had a good relationship, but I didn't expect you to think about Qi Erlang."
Being able to help Qi Yun with so many calculations, and even thinking about how Qi Yun will separate himself from himself if his own affairs fail, is already a special concern.
Chu Chengyun said softly: "I formed a caravan with him, not purely for fame and fortune, but to do something for the court. No matter what Erlang's original intention was, he helped me in the end, this is a great virtue, Whether it succeeds or not, he should be able to do this thing.”
Meng Shi smiled, rubbed Chu Chengyun's shoulders again, and said: "Xiang Gong, you are always right to wrong people, and you have a good mind. No wonder the Seventh Princess is so close to you."
Hearing this, Chu Chengyun curled the corners of his mouth, with emotion in his voice: "Hua Ning came to find me this time, not only because of being close to me, but also to protect her mother and concubine's family."
Meng Shi was stunned: "What?"
Chu Chengyun did not hide it from her, and said slowly: "Hua Ning's mother-in-law is Guo Guifei, and their mother and daughter are living a smooth life now, just because Guo Guifei's brother is a general of the hussars of the dynasty, with outstanding military exploits and countless elite soldiers. , this made her life stable. But my brothers all attracted courtiers, many of them in the military, whoever went up, everyone around them would get the power of the dragon and follow the chicken and the dog to the sky, the Guo family will not have a good life Pass."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Shi pursed the corners of his lips.
Why doesn't she know this
In fact, Prime Minister Meng always wanted Chu Chengyun to compete for the throne, and it was also to preserve the glory of the Meng family.
Princess Hua Ning took a lot of thought to get out, probably not only for a favorite man, but also with the hope of the Guo family.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they were now the first-rank official and they could not be promoted. If they didn't plan early, it would be an abyss when the sky really changed.
However, their plans were all beneficial to Chu Chengyun without any harm.
Meng Shi laughed again, with some relief: "Xiang Gong is smart, he thinks clearly about this matter."
My husband is really not stupid, on the contrary, he understands it very well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain Hua Ning's mind with just a little mention. It is better to have such a plan.
Chu Chengyun patted her hand and said softly: "I just want to understand, there is always a fight. If you fight, you may win. The lady has lived once, but she may not be so lucky next time."
When Meng shi spoke, he only thought in his heart, it would be great if he didn't let him eat up the Qianli Pond... But he didn't stop, and Chu Chengyun kneaded it again.
Because of his serious injuries, he couldn't move at will, and his body was always sore, so he could sleep comfortably by rubbing it like this.
Mrs. Meng is very dedicated. She learned the technique from Li Langzhong before, so she doesn't fake it, but massages him herself every night.
Chu Chengyun felt sleepy after being pinched comfortably, and when he was half asleep, he heard Meng shi softly say: "There is one more thing, Xianggong, I see that the seventh princess is particularly fond of Ye Tixia."
The man yawned and didn't let Mrs Meng knead her any more. He stretched out his hand and pulled Mrs Meng into his arms and said slowly, "It's okay, Hua Ning has been domineering since he was a child, and he's used to it. It's rare for her to find someone she falls in love with. Now, Ping Rong has never thought about it, and when he finds out his heart, Hua Ning will probably still listen to him." After that, Chu Chengyun chuckled twice, " That little bully also has today."
Meng shi leaned against him carefully, trying not to touch the wound, and muttered, "Why do you think you are getting smarter and wiser lately, I'm getting more and more stupid."
There are a lot of things that I could figure out before, but now I can't figure it out.
But before Chu Chengyun could speak, he heard Mengshi speak again: "I think I'm too concerned about the husband's body. When I think of you, I can't think of anything else."
... Huiniang's love words always come so suddenly.
Chu Chengyun, who had just found some feeling, immediately lost the appearance of just strategizing, coughed lightly, and lowered his head to meet the smiling face of his own princess.
There is bright beauty in Wen Wan, and Chu Chengyun also followed with the corners of his mouth, thinking in his heart that his own Huiniang is really smart.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the Qi family's carriage was ready to leave for the third son's mansion.
For Little Ginseng, she doesn't bother to think about the throne of the prince, all she can remember is that the third prince has connections with her family.
Now I have added another Hua Ning, and the connection is getting deeper and deeper.
Feeding him some white rainbow fruit pulp last time just kept him alive, but it's not easy to keep it healthy without leaving the root of the disease.
Before leaving, Ye Jiao dragged a leaf from the stone sprout grass and waited for the carriage. She thought about it carefully and felt that it was a bit strange to let people eat the leaves directly. The bean paste was dug out, the leaves were smashed, and the bean paste was wrapped and rolled into a ball.
Qi Yun didn't get into the car until after a while. As soon as he got up, he saw her pinching the balls, and was slightly taken aback: "Jiao Niang, what are you doing?"
Ye Jiao didn't lift her head, rubbed the balls in her hands intently, and said in her mouth, "Since the third son is so important, it's better for him to be injured sooner. This can help him."
Qi Yun was a little curious: "What is this?"
"What's good for the body." Ye Jiao rolled the balls and put them in the bag, then smiled at Qi Yun, "Don't worry, there are plenty in our yard, it's nothing to give him some, Huiniang and eldest brother used to do it too. I've tried it, and the effect is good, just give it to my husband later."
Qi Yun didn't ask much. He had always trusted Ye Jiao completely, and there were a lot of medicinal herbs and flowers in the yard, so it's not surprising that some people can take care of themselves. Since someone has tried it, it's harmless even if it's useless. , Qi Yun reached out and took the brocade bag and put it into his sleeve.
He didn't realize that the red bean cake in Ye Jiao's hand was empty, but Qi Yun didn't have the chance to find out. It didn't take long for the little ginseng to eat a plate of red bean cake. Qi Yun leaned over and kissed her.
Ye Jiao was also calm, hooked his neck and kissed him back.
When they were separated, Qi Yun felt that even his mouth was filled with the sweetness of red beans.
He couldn't help but count the days in his mind again, it's been three months, it should be better.
After about half an hour, the carriage stopped in front of Meng's pharmacy.
In order to conceal their identity, Chu Chengyun opened this pharmacy under the name of Meng's. They lived in the back yard, and Hua Ning also borrowed from him when he came.
Waiting at the door were the maids beside Ye Pingrong and Hua Ning.
Ye Jiao directly followed the maid to find Hua Ning, while Qi Yun got out of the car and went to find Chu Chengyun with Ye Pingrong.
Walking on the porch, Qi Yun didn't mention the identities of the siblings, but asked with concern: "Is the eldest brother in good health? My family's Li Lang has good skills, maybe I can let him show you some day. Don't leave the root of the disease behind."
Ye Pingrong was close to Ye Jiao, and his attitude towards Qi Yun was softer than others. He heard the words and replied, "It's okay, my injury has healed, and my brother-in-law doesn't need to worry."
"That's good, Jiao Niang always remembers it. She wanted to ask more yesterday, but she didn't say more because of the presence of nobles."
"His Royal Highness is a good person, and it's okay to get along with Jiao Niang. It's okay."
Alright, Your Highness, it seems that Jiao Niang really heard right.
Although Qi Yun's expression was calm, he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he had guessed 7, 7, 8, 8, and would not be wrong.
When he was in front of the door, Ye Pingrong pushed open the door and turned to the side, and Qi Yun stepped in.
Chu Chengyun was still leaning on the bed, and his body was still unable to get out of bed. Mrs. Meng was not with him in the room, only Liu Rong was taking care of him.
Seeing Qi Yun come in, Chu Chengyun smiled and pointed to the Liufang armchair on the side: "I'm inconvenient and can't get up, Erlang, come and sit."
Qi Yun saw that he didn't think about breaking his identity for the time being, and he didn't talk too much about it. He bowed his hands slightly and sat down on the chair.
Liu Rong and Ye Pingrong stood aside, one facing the door and the other facing the window.
Chu Chengyun looked at Qi Yun. Compared to usual, he felt more close to him after death together. Although his face was a little pale, he still smiled and said, "Is your injury healed?"
Qi Yun was not frightened by Chu Chengyun's identity, on the contrary, he remained calm and upright as always, but there was some emotion in his voice: "It's better, but I didn't expect Third Young Master to be so seriously injured, it's time to take a good rest. "Having said that, Qi Yun put the basket on the low table beside the couch, and said, "There are some easy-to-digest chicken porridge, as well as light shortbread, all of which can be used."
Chu Chengyun nodded lightly: "Trouble Erlang to remember."
"And this." Qi Yun took out the brocade bag from his sleeve, opened it, and found a black pill inside.
Chu Chengyun was a little curious: "What is this?"
Qi Yun's expression softened: "This is what my wife asked me to bring. It's good for my body. Third Young Master might as well try it."
Chu Chengyun usually doesn't eat things like this, and only lets Liu Rong put them away first.
The things in the basket are easy to say, Liu Rong just stared at the black ball, and the corners of his eyes trembled.
When it comes to the second wife of the Qi family, he always thinks of the way she stuffed a handful of soil into the prince's mouth that day...
This ball is made of mud, isn't it
