The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 405: Slap in the face

Views:

Princess Xinyang is happy and quiet. There are not many servants in the yard, and they usually stay in the front yard. Only Yu Jin and Long Yingwei are eligible to enter the second yard.

Yu Jin was originally the direct daughter of a big family, and was different from a female official from a palace maid. She was admitted to the Princess Xinyang Mansion by her strength.

After seeing off the Crown Princess, Yu Jin turned around and returned to Princess Xinyang's house.

Princess Xinyang didn't wake up until late in the evening, and woke up feeling tight in her chest.

Yu Jin came over and saw that her face was not very good, she raised her hand lightly, took Princess Xinyang's pulse, and asked worriedly, "Princess, your pulse doesn't seem to be very good, please drink some medicine first."

Yu Jin is not a doctor girl, but Princess Xinyang has been ill for a long time, forcing her to understand a little medicine.

Princess Xinyang didn't object, she sat up with Yu Jin's support, and Yu Jin took a pillow behind her.

Yu Jin stopped when he went to get the medicine.

There were two bottles of medicine on the table, one was the Heart Protection Pill she bought from the pharmacist in the country of Yan, and the other was the Baihua Pill sent by the Princess Shicai herself.

Baihua Dan is extremely rare, even more rare than the Heart Protecting Pill from the pharmacist of the State of Yan. It is said that it can cure all diseases.

Yu Jin told the story that the crown princess had come and gave Baihua Dan.

"Bring it to me to see." Princess Xinyang said.

Princess Protecting Heart Pill has seen it, and what she is looking at now is the Crown Princess's Baihua Pill.

Yu Jin took the Baihua Dan on the table and said, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Princess Xinyang asked.

"Why is there a strip of cloth on the bottle? There are words."

Gu Jiao wrote with fine charcoal, not as ugly as calligraphy, but not too good-looking.

For a daughter from a scholarly family like Yu Jin, such a word is still a bit irritating to tell the truth.

But what really puzzled Yu Jin was not the words themselves.

Princess Xinyang looked at the bottle in her hand and said, "Is there no cloth before?"

"I don't remember, do I remember it wrong?" Yu Jin frowned, looking over his head, "Long Yi."

Long Yi flew down and landed three steps away from the two of them.

Yu Jin looked at him and said, "Has anyone been here before?"

Long Yi did not speak.

"Forget it, I asked you what to do." Yu Jin shook his head, but this reminded him that Long Yi was guarding the room, and it was impossible for suspicious people to come in.

So maybe I remembered it wrong, or I missed it, there is a small strip of cloth on the bottle itself.

Yu Jin said amusedly: "It was written by someone who sold Baihua Dan." The Crown Princess's words were not so strange.

After such an interruption, Princess Xinyang didn't go to eat Baihua Dan first, but ate two heart protection pills that she had always been eating.

In the middle of the night, Princess Xinyang began to have a high fever, accompanied by severe chest pain.

"Princess!" Yu Jin didn't even put on her coat. She came to the bed in her pajamas, opened the curtain, and looked at Princess Xinyang, who was so uncomfortable that her face was pale and her lips were completely lost. She was so anxious!

Princess Xinyang was not born with a heart attack. It only happened in the past few years. The death of the little master hit her too hard, and she seemed to be dragged down overnight.

In fact, the initial effect of Huxin Dan was really good, but as the disease aggravated, the effect of Huxin Dan became more and more tasteless.

Yu Jin thought of the Baihua Dan sent by the Crown Princess, and she poured one out.

The pills were white, but Yu Jin had never seen the real Baihua Dan, so she didn't notice anything wrong for a while.

She poured warm water and waited for Princess Xinyang to take the pills.

The effect of the medicine worked very quickly. After about a quarter of an hour, Princess Xinyang felt that she was less uncomfortable, the symptoms of heart palpitations were relieved, and the chest pain was gradually disappearing.

In the second half of the night, she slept well, and when she woke up, her high fever had completely subsided.

Yu Jin twisted the handkerchief, wiped her forehead for her, and said with relief: "I didn't expect the effect of Baihua Dan to be so miraculous. If I knew it earlier, the slave should have found it for the princess earlier."

Princess Xinyang said: "Do you want to have Baihua Dan if you want to have it?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "That's right. The recipe for Baihua Dan has always been the secret recipe of Zhao Guobai's family. Only one pot is made every year, and it's all about luck. The Crown Princess has a heart."

"Well." Princess Xinyang responded slightly.

Yujin said again: "Two Baihua Dan a day, since the princess is awake, eat one quickly."

Last night, people were very uncomfortable, and I was not in the mood to see what Baihuadan looked like. At this time, I took a closer look and found that it was not the same as the rumored Baihuadan.

Baihuadan is not really made of 100 kinds of flowers, but it does use a lot of petals, so the pill itself will have a little floral aroma.

But this kind of pill... or tablet is more suitable, white, colorless and tasteless.

If it weren't for its miraculous effects, Princess Xinyang would have thought that the Crown Princess had bought a fake Baihuadan.

"It seems that the rumors are unbelievable." After she finished speaking, she took the warm water handed by Yu Jin and swallowed the Baihua Pill.

It is a big event for the princess to return to Beijing. She has to go to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Empress. She was exhausted a few days ago and was in poor health.

After breakfast, Princess Xinyang took the special products brought from Fengdu Mountain and took a carriage to the palace.

The emperor is reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.

Eunuch Wei bowed and entered the room: "Your Majesty, Princess Xinyang asks to see you."

The emperor was slightly surprised, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Let the princess come in."

"Yes." Eunuch Wei went outside and invited Princess Xinyang in.

Princess Xinyang stood in the imperial study, raised her arms, folded her hands in front of her forehead, and bowed in a salute: "Chen Mei, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Don't be too polite!" The emperor stretched out his hand, "Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Xinyang straightened up.

"Uh... give a seat!" the emperor said to Eunuch Wei.

"Yes." Eunuch Wei moved a chair over without looking sideways, "Princess, please take a seat."

Princess Xinyang was not very polite, and sat down with kindness.

The emperor wanted to rub his hands a little.

Ashamed to say, although Princess Xinyang is his sister, every time he gets along with Princess Xinyang, he feels that Princess Xinyang is his sister.

Others may not see it, but only the emperor knows that Princess Xinyang is the most like the emperor's children among the emperor's children.

Looks more like, looks more like.

means…

He never thought that women in the harem had any means, except for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

But since the incident of Concubine Jing, he no longer dared to underestimate any woman in the harem.

Besides, he thought about it carefully in the past few days. Princess Xinyang lost the protection of her mother at the age of thirteen, and she was not close to either Empress Zhuang and Concubine Liu Gui. In that case, it would be very difficult for her to protect herself. .

But he never heard of her being bullied by anyone.

Later, when she married Marquis Xuanping in a high profile, no one dared to bully her.

It was rumored that Princess Xinyang was his most beloved sister, otherwise he would not have chosen such an excellent marriage for her. After all, there were too many princesses who coveted Marquis Xuanping.

Who would have thought that this marriage was decided by the late emperor early in the morning, he was just following the order of the late emperor.

Collecting her thoughts, the emperor asked her, "Isn't she sick? Why did you run into the palace?"

Princess Xinyang said, "It's no big deal, please give your Majesty a peace when entering the palace."

"Ah..." The emperor took a sip from the teacup, "It's fine."

On the other hand, Eunuch Wei also served tea to Princess Xinyang, but Princess Xinyang refused lightly: "I drink the medicine, so I won't drink tea."

"Yes." Eunuch Wei hurriedly took down the tea.

The emperor was a little awkward getting along with this sister. He drank several sips of tea in a row and asked, "I haven't heard from you in the past few years, how is it in Fengdu Mountain?"

Princess Xinyang said calmly: "Everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

Then, the sky was chatted to death again.

The emperor was embarrassed to drink tea.

Princess Xinyang said, "I heard that Master Jing'an has passed away too much. Your Majesty's condolences."

Is it hot to call the emperor brother

The emperor secretly slandered, and hummed vaguely: "I'm fine."

The emperor did not announce the crime of Concubine Jing. First, he could not startle the snakes and startle the remnants of the frontier. Second, he did not want Ning An to be burdened by Concubine Jing's reputation.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has no opinion on this.

This time it was the emperor who killed the day.

The emperor only felt that the entire imperial study was filled with embarrassment.

Two more words to talk about...

The emperor's mind suddenly flashed, and he asked: "By the way, didn't Xuanping Hou go to find you? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"I don't know." Princess Xinyang was concise.

emperor:"… "

The emperor was not too surprised by this answer. The two of them were at odds with each other. After Xiao Heng's death, the relationship between the two was extremely cold.

Thinking of Xiao Heng, the Emperor's box finally opened: "Are you going to visit the Queen Mother?"

Hearing this sentence, Princess Xinyang's expression finally fluctuated. She glanced at the emperor strangely: "I've been there, the Queen Mother is not in Renshou Palace."

The emperor gritted his teeth and muttered: "Very good, slipped out of the palace to play cards again..."

His muttering was very small, and naturally he didn't let Princess Xinyang hear him, but Princess Xinyang's eyes always fell on his face. After a while, she slowly said: "I heard that the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother has eased a lot."

The emperor did not deny it: "I have to tell you something, the person who poisoned A-Heng back then was not the queen, but the head of the Shang Palace Bureau named Zhang Xiu. She was bought by the remnants of the previous dynasty and attempted to poison A-Heng and put the blame on her. The queen mother, provoking the relationship between me and the queen mother. I only found out the truth a while ago, and Zhang Xiu has already been executed."

"I see." Princess Xinyang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Thank you Your Majesty for getting justice for A-Heng."

The emperor said solemnly: "When all the remnants of the previous dynasty are eradicated, we will truly be able to seek justice for A-Heng. You can rest assured that none of those people will be spared!"

After leaving Huaqing Palace, Princess Xinyang went to Queen Xiao's Kunning Palace again.

She also didn't stay long, and left after asking An to leave Fengdu Mountain's specialties.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, she unexpectedly met the crown princess who had just come from the East Palace.

"aunt!"

The Crown Princess's eyes lit up and walked towards her.

"Prince Concubine." Princess Xinyang greeted her.

As if seeing the elder's child, the crown princess excitedly held Princess Xinyang's hand and said, "What a coincidence, I originally planned to visit my aunt, but I will meet you here."

Princess Xinyang looked at her and said, "You are now a crown princess, so you don't have to be so polite."

The Crown Princess looked flustered: "Aunt... Is it with me? In my heart, no matter who I am now or who I will be in the future, my uncle and aunt will always be the elders I respect the most!"

Princess Xinyang sighed inaudibly.

The Crown Princess asked worriedly: "Auntie, how are you doing? I went to visit you yesterday, you were in a daze, I was worried for a night, and my heart was up and down. I didn't know how many years you spent in Fengdu Mountain. , the condition has deteriorated like this. If I had known this, I should have worked harder to find Baihuadan... By the way, aunt, have you taken Baihuadan? How effective is the medicine?"

"The effect of the medicine is very good. Thanks to you, I can already walk around." Princess Xinyang said, paused, and asked her, "Where did your Baihua Dan come from?"

The Crown Princess looked around, approached Princess Xinyang, and said in a low voice, "I bought it from a place called the Underground Martial Arts Field, where there is a swordsman from the state of Zhao, who happens to have a bottle of Baihua Dan in his hand."

The underground martial arts field is mixed, but to buy this kind of thing is indeed an underground martial arts field.

Princess Xinyang's last doubts about Baihuadan were also dispelled.

Perhaps Baihuadan is indeed colorless and odorless, but the world has spread it beyond recognition.

The princess smiled and said, "Auntie, if you are not in a hurry to leave the palace, go sit in the pavilion, and I will chat with you. You have been away for a few years, and many things have happened in the capital. I just happened to tell you one by one."

Princess Xinyang did not refuse.

It wasn't because she wanted to listen to the capital, but because she didn't try to save the princess' face.

The two climbed the steps and sat down in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

The princess ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and snacks.

Yu Jin looked at the butter tea and rose cake on the table and smiled knowingly: "Prince Concubine still remembers the taste of the princess."

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Of course I remember, I remember what my aunt and uncle like to eat! I also like what A-Heng likes to eat..."

Halfway through speaking, she stopped abruptly.

Realizing that she had mentioned something sad that should not have been mentioned, she felt annoyed and looked at Princess Xinyang with guilt: "Aunt... I'm sorry... I... "

Princess Xinyang's expression was very calm: "You also remember what A-Heng likes to eat, there is nothing that can't be said."

Yu Jin waved his hand and screened out the palace servant.

Only she, the Crown Princess and Princess Xinyang were left in the pavilion.

The Crown Princess said guilty: "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Princess Xinyang said: "You don't have to be sorry."

The princess opened her mouth: "I..."

Princess Xinyang said calmly: "I don't need to apologize for what you said, and I don't need to apologize for your becoming a princess. A-Heng is already dead, let alone if you are married, you are married, and it is understandable for you to remarry."

The Crown Princess clenched the handkerchief in her hands, her eyes were slightly red, and her throat was choked up.

"How is the Crown Prince treating you?" Princess Xinyang asked her.

The princess choked up and nodded.

Princess Xinyang also nodded: "Then I can rest assured. Yu Jin."

She gave Yu Jin a wink.

Yu Jin understood, walked down the steps, and waved to a little maid who was accompanying her.

The little girl walked up to the pavilion.

Yu Jin said, "Did you bring anything you brought?"

The little girl thought for a while and said, "All, all sent out."

Yu Jin said: "Isn't there a box of Millennium Ganoderma Lucidum?"

"Oh, I forgot to be on the carriage!" The little maid covered her mouth, "My servant will go get it!"

After walking two steps, she came back embarrassed, "The slave does not know the way..."

The little maid was brought over from Fengdu Mountain and entered the palace for the first time.

"I'll get it." Yu Jin said to Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang said: "No need, Long Yi will go get it."

After hearing this, the Crown Princess was confused, who is Long Yi

She looked among the palace servants under the steps, but no one left.

Long Yi was hidden in the dark, even the masters couldn't detect it, let alone the Crown Princess.

There was only one last box left on the carriage, and it was easy to recognize.

Long Yi quickly went to the carriage to get the box.

When Long Yi flashed into the pavilion holding a brocade box from the sky, the Crown Princess was shocked.

Princess Xinyang said to the Crown Princess, "Thank you for the medicine you gave me. This is a thank you gift." Then she said to Long, "Give the thank you gift to the Crown Princess."

Long Yi does not give it.

Dragon Shadow Guards generally don't disobey their master's orders unless they don't understand them.

Princess Xinyang is a patient host. She pointed to the box and then to the crown princess, and explained word by word: "You, the box in your hand is a thank you gift for the crown princess."

Long Yi still didn't give it.

Princess Xinyang: "Then give it to me."

Long Yi gave it to her.

Princess Xinyang personally picked up the box and gave it to the Crown Princess, but Long Yi snatched the box again!

No matter how stupid the Crown Princess was, she could see that this dark guard named Long Yi didn't want to give Lingzhi to her.

This is like the elders in the family asking the children to share the candy with other friends, but he refuses to share, making everyone very embarrassed.

The Crown Princess was especially embarrassed. She blushed: "Forget it, Auntie..."

"It can't be counted." Princess Xinyang said to Long Dao, "If you want a box, I'll give you another one when I go back. This is a gift for others."

Long Yi will not give it.

Princess Xinyang frowned: "If you don't give it again, I'll be angry."

At this time, Gu Jiao was passing by in the imperial garden.

Long Yi jumped down, came to Gu Jiao, and shoved the box into Gu Jiao's arms.

Then he looked back at Princess Xinyang.

That look and posture seemed to say.

Don't be angry, I'll give it to you.
