The little maid serving Xiao Rongyu noticed Nangong Yue's gaze, and cleverly added: "Concubine Shizi, it was Aunt Mei who jumped into the lake and rescued the fifth girl..."
During the speech, a group of people rushed here in a hurry, the maid was holding a cloak in her hand, and several women were carrying two sedan chairs, mighty and mighty.
At this time, those servants who were surrounding the area had already been dismissed by Baihui, so a group of people soon came to the front, and the two cloaks were immediately distributed to Xiao Rongyu and Aunt Mei.
After wrapping Aunt Mei in a thick cloak, the servant girl helped her to salute Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
"I've met my son, my son."
Aunt Mei smiled gracefully, her slapped face was made smaller by the ill-fitting cloak, and she looked pitiful with moisture all over her body.
Nangong Yue looked at Aunt Mei gently, raised her hand as a gesture of excuse, and said with a smile, "Aunt Mei doesn't need to be too polite, thanks to you for saving Fifth Sister today."
Xiao Yi played with Nangong Yue's fingers quietly, as if he didn't notice that there was another person in front of him at all.
Concubine Wei handed her daughter Xiao Rongyu to the wet nurse Qiu Niang, and also came over, echoing, "Sister Mei, today is really thanks to you. Please accept my sister's worship."
Aunt Mei stepped forward quickly, supported Concubine Wei in a hurry, and said gently: "Sister, you are being polite. This is what a younger sister should do, so why bother to say thank you...cough cough!" Choking, coughing violently, trembling slightly, the crystal drops of water fell down her wet hair, slid down her pretty face all the way down to her fair neck, and disappeared at the collarbone... It seems With a bit of seductive coquettishness.
"My concubine is disrespectful, please don't blame my master, concubine and sister Wei." Aunt Mei half-cast her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and said embarrassingly.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue said, "Aunt Mei, you should go back to take a bath and change clothes first, so as not to catch a cold." Then she told Que'er, "Que'er, call the good doctor in the mansion to ask Aunt Mei for a peace pulse, There are five girls too."
"Thank you, Princess Concubine. The concubine will leave first." Aunt Mei blessed herself again, got into one of the sedan chairs, and was carried away by two women with big arms and thick waists.
Que'er hurriedly sent someone to pass on the good doctor.
Qiu Niang hugged Xiao Rongyu over, Xiao Rongyu who was wrapped in a red cloak was still a little dazed, looked at Nangong Yue foolishly, and blurted out: "Sister-in-law..." Then she shrank back and looked at Xiao Yi again timidly. Called, "Brother."
Xiao Yi and the younger sister didn't say a few words at all, and they didn't know how to deal with such a soft little girl, so they just responded lightly.
Nangong Yue glanced at Xiao Yi helplessly, and said in her heart: Ah Yi is really like this with Sister Fei, and like this with Fifth Younger Sister.
Xiao Yi shrugged nonchalantly.
Nangong Yue gently brushed a strand of wet hair from the girl's cheek behind her ear, and said, "May I take your pulse?"
Xiao Rongyu nodded, and obediently stretched out her right wrist from the cloak.
Nangong Yue stretched out three fingers to touch the white and tender wrist of the female doll, feeling the pulsation under her fingers...
And Xiao Yi kept watching Nangong Yue's every move, every frown and smile, and couldn't help running away: When he and Ah Yue have a daughter, Ah Yue should look at their daughter with gentle eyes, right? ... He will definitely love their little Ah Yue very much!
Well, the son is too naughty, it's better to be a daughter!
Thinking about it, Xiao Yi's expression softened a lot, his peach blossom eyes were more sparkling and bewitching than Yuanxin Lake's waves.
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, then withdrew her hand, and said to Concubine Wei: "Concubine Wei, Fifth Younger Sister was frightened and choked on some water, but it's nothing serious. Let the good doctor show her again later. Prescribe a soothing prescription for a few days." Xiao Rongyu was young, in addition to her weak body, she was also afraid that she would be frightened, sleepless at night, and lost her soul.
"Thank you, Princess Concubine Wei." Concubine Wei hurriedly thanked her.
Then, Nangong Yue turned her head to Xiao Yi and said, "A Yi, you go back first. Concubine Wei and I will send Fifth Sister back."
Xiao Yi curled his lips unwillingly, but of course he couldn't go to Concubine Wei's courtyard, so he could only reluctantly say: "Ah Yue, I'll wait for you in Bixiaotang, and we'll go to listen to Yuge together again." " As he spoke, he frowned and glanced at Xiao Rongyu, making Xiao Rongyu shrink back involuntarily, like a trembling white rabbit.
A child's intuition is very keen, Xiao Rongyu always feels that this big brother is like the gray eagle he raised, and she has always been a little afraid of this big brother.
Nangong Yue agreed with a smile, and then went to the courtyard of Concubine Wei's side together.
There was a commotion in the yard. After learning that Xiao Rongyu had fallen into the water, the servants had already boiled hot water under the order of the steward. At this time, as soon as they came back, the maids hurriedly led Xiao Rongyu down to take a bath and change clothes. Niang was left for questioning by Nangong Yue and Wei Fangfei.
There were still a few water stains on Qiuniang's blue dress, which was described as restrained, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Nangong Yue asked in a deep voice: "Qiu Niang, what's going on? Why did Miss Wu fall into the water?"
Qiuniang was even more embarrassed, with cold sweat running down her forehead, and she replied: "Before, Miss Wu was leaning on the railing of the pavilion to feed the koi in the lake. Somehow, the railing broke suddenly, and Miss Wu fell off unexpectedly I got into the lake... The slave girl was preparing fish food for the fifth girl at the time, and she was a step too slow to catch the fifth girl. Fortunately, Aunt Mei happened to pass by and jumped into the lake to save the fifth girl..." As she said, Qiu Niang fell to her knees with a plop Going down, he confessed his mistake with red eyes, "The concubine Shizi and the side concubine Wei are all the fault of the servant, the servant did not take good care of the fifth girl!"
If Aunt Mei is one step slower, and the fifth girl is in danger, then...
Qiuniang was trembling all over, and she hardly dared to think about it.
Since the fish food has been prepared long ago, it means that Xiao Rongyu didn't want to feed the fish out of the blue... Nangong Yue thought about it, and asked again: "The fifth girl often goes to Yuanxin Lake?"
Qiuniang nodded: "The fifth girl likes the koi in the lake very much. Every morning and evening, I go to the gazebo by the lake to watch and feed the koi..."
Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashed in her pupils, and she continued to ask: "Then when did Aunt Mei appear today? When you arrived at the small garden, was she already there, or did she arrive later?"
Concubine Wei's face turned serious, thoughtful.
But Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, and after trying to think about it, she said uncertainly: "Returning to the concubine, when the maidservant and the fifth girl went to the small garden, they didn't see Aunt Mei, and the maidservant didn't pay attention afterwards. "The lord's concubines like to come to this small garden for a walk, and she doesn't pay attention to who else is there on weekdays. What's more, today's incident happened too fast. Until now, Qiuniang still feels like Had a nightmare.
After Xiao Rongyu finished bathing, Nangong Yue followed Concubine Wei into the inner room. The little girl was wrapped in a brocade quilt and lay on the bed. Obviously she hadn't recovered from the shock of falling into the water, she looked a little timid .
Nangong Yue sat on a stool beside her, talked to her gently, and coaxed her to drink a bowl of ginger tea.
Children are very forgetful, and they smiled after a while.
Side Concubine Wei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched from the side, she was afraid that her daughter would lose her soul in fear of gains.
Amidst Xiao Rongyu's "giggle" laughter, the good doctor came, and the little girl obediently asked the good doctor to diagnose her pulse.
The good doctor prescribed a dose of calming soup, just prepared all the medicines and took them to fry, a servant girl hurriedly came to report: "Shizi Concubine, Wei Fangfei, the prince is here."
Nangong Yue and Concubine Wei hurriedly got up and went out of the house to greet each other, and saw Zhennan King striding in.
After they saluted, King Zhennan's brows were tightly locked, his sharp eyes fell on Nangong Yue, and he asked coldly: "Concubine Shizi, what's going on?! The pavilion in the small garden is dilapidated, why hasn't it been repaired? ! How do you manage to be a family on weekdays?!"
Concubine Wei nervously glanced at Nangong Yue beside her.
Even she felt that the prince was a little angry. Although the concubine was in front of the palace, but the palace was so big, she couldn't even be clear about what needed to be repaired. What's more... Thinking of the things that the concubine Shizi had just questioned Qiuniang, Concubine Wei vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
She was hesitating whether to explain a few words, when Nangong Yue bowed her knees again calmly and admitted her mistake: "Father, my daughter-in-law was not careful and almost made a big mistake. My daughter-in-law is willing to accept the punishment. Later The daughter-in-law ordered the servants to check all the pavilions, pavilions and railings of the palace, to repair what should be repaired, and to dismantle what should be demolished, so as to avoid such disasters from happening again. Please calm down."
Zhennan Wang was originally full of anger, but he didn't expect Nangong Yue to admit his mistakes so sincerely. The flames in his heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water in an instant, and he calmed down a lot, so he casually I also trained a few words such as "knowing mistakes can make things better".
Nangong Yue answered one by one with a low eyebrow.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Wei couldn't help sighing: The Concubine Shi Zi is really very grand. Just as he was thinking, he heard King Zhennan ask, "How is Miss Yu?"
Concubine Wei hurriedly said: "The good doctor is decocting medicine. Sister Yu just used ginger soup, and now she is resting in the room, the prince should go and have a look..."
While speaking, King Zhennan followed Concubine Wei into the house to visit the young girl, while Nangong Yue left.
After leaving the yard, Nangong Yue took a look at Baihui and ordered, "Baihui, go to the small garden..."
Although Nangong Yue only spoke half of what she said, Baihui immediately understood and stepped back quickly.
Nangong Yue took the thrush back to Bixiao Hall first, and as soon as she stepped into the room, Yinger greeted her with a strange expression.
"Concubine Shizi," Ying'er reported, "Sister Que'er just sent someone to say that after a good doctor checked Aunt Mei's pulse, she found that Aunt Mei was two months pregnant, because the pulse was a bit strange after saving Miss Wu just now. Well, there is a sign of a slippery tire, and now a good doctor is diagnosing it... "
During the speech, there was a sound of raising the curtain, and Xiao Yi, who heard the sound, came out of the small study.
Of course he also heard Ying'er's report, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, as if to say, today is really lively enough.
One good show after another!
The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth is also slightly hooked, what a coincidence!
Xiao Yi couldn't recognize any of these concubines of King Zhennan, and he didn't bother to care about whether he wanted to add a concubine or a concubine. He only felt sorry for Nangong Yue's fatigue, so he hurriedly dragged her to sit on the beauty couch, and took her graciously. Feed her the white jade cake, and said nonchalantly: "Ah Yue, don't worry about these things, come, have something to eat."
Nangong Yue took a bite of the pastry with his hand, thinking: the heirs of the royal family are weak, presumably the king of Zhennan will love this concubine even more after learning of this "happy event"...
A small plate of white jade cake was eaten in a short while, and Baihui, who had been running to the small garden, also came back, with an extra log in her hand, or a broken railing.
The railing was presented by Baihui.
Xiao Yi held it in his hand, glanced at it, and then smiled.
The cross-section of a wooden stick that is normally broken by external force should be rough, but half of the cross-section of this section of railing is flat. Obviously, someone secretly cut the railing in half with a knife, so the fragile railing only needs a little force. It broke unbearably.
Xiao Yi casually threw it on the table, stretched out an index finger and pushed on one of the railings, and the railing rolled along the table...
He squinted his eyes with a smile, and there was a fierce murderous look in his eyes, and said: "Since someone is a ghost, just kill him."
He didn't name anyone who was the "ghost", but everyone knew it well.
