"Son!"
Lian'er pushed open the door and entered, "Why are you sitting here by the window alone? The wind is so strong that you will catch a cold!"
Huangfu Xian fixedly looked at the scenery outside the window, but did not answer Lian'er's words.
Xiao Qingkong is no longer in the house, and there is not even a trace of him here.
Lian'er walked over quickly and closed the Xuan window across the table.
"Don't close." Huangfuxian said.
Lian'er paused when she closed the window halfway. She turned to look at her son in doubt: "But it's cold."
"I'm not cold." Huangfuxian said lightly.
"Well, well, I'll close it down a little bit." Lian'er closed the window halfway.
Huangfuxian looked out through the gap in the window, his expression was indifferent and gloomy.
It wasn't the first day that Lian'er came to serve at Princess Ning'an's side. She was not surprised by Huangfuxian's appearance, but she still felt a little distressed.
She looked at Huangfuxian, whose blood had dried up, and didn't ask him how he did it, because she had heard someone say that her son killed the seventh prince's dog.
She said in a low voice, "The slaves are going to fetch water to wash your son's face."
Lian'er quickly brought the hot water, and she changed two basins of water just to wash her face. When she washed Huangfuxian's hand, she unexpectedly found that the back of Huangfuxian's hand was scratched, leaving a long hole. .
She looked pale: "Young Master, you are injured! Why don't you say it? Is the blood on this, this, this hand your own?"
Of course, it's not all Huangfuxian's, so much blood can't be shed from that hole.
Huangfuxian frowned impatiently and said, "I'm bored, you go out, I don't want to see you."
Lian'er said, "I'll go and tell the princess to ask for a doctor."
Huangfu Xian said: "I don't want to see the imperial doctor."
Lian'er worried: "But..."
Huangfuxian said coldly: "If you talk nonsense again, just let me out!"
Lian'er had to shut her mouth angrily.
It was this wound that attracted Lian'er's attention. She then looked at Huangfuxian again, and this time found a few faint finger marks on Huangfuxian's cheek.
"Did the princess beat you?" Lian'er asked weakly.
Huangfuxian ignored her.
Lian'er bowed her head sadly and continued to wipe her hands for Huangfuxian: "Young Master, can't you not make the princess angry in the future? It's difficult for the princess to be alone, she..."
Huangfuxian sneered: "What's so difficult for her? Is it difficult to raise a waste son like me?"
Lian'er was stunned and speechless.
After that, Lian'er didn't dare to say a word, she wiped the blood on Huangfuxian's cheeks, hands and neck, and waited on Huangfuxian to change his clothes.
But she only changed the top for Huangfuxian, and the pants were changed by Huangfuxian himself.
Since his stump leg made a servant vomit, he never let anyone change his pants again.
When Princess Ning'an came over, Huangfuxian was fully dressed and sat quietly in a wheelchair by the window.
"I heard that your hand was injured." Princess Ning An walked over and closed the window.
She is not Lian'er, she has to obey Huangfuxian's orders.
On the contrary, Huangfuxian is her son, and Huangfuxian should listen to her.
"Let me see." She said to Huangfuxian.
Huangfuxian didn't move.
Princess Ning'an picked up his left hand: "Why didn't you say it earlier with such a long opening?"
Huangfuxian turned his face away and ignored her.
Princess Ning'an opened the golden sore medicine she brought, and dipped a little with her fingertips and applied it to his affected area, and then applied it to his swollen cheeks.
Huangfuxian tilted his head slightly, avoiding her hand.
"You still don't like others touching you." Princess Ning'an's fingertips still landed on his cheek.
After applying the medicine to Huangfuxian, Princess Ning'an said, "I'll come over and apply it to you again before going to bed. I'm going to greet the queen mother, do you want to come together?"
The corner of Huangfuxian's lips twitched, and he sneered, "Are you sure you want the Queen Mother to see my swollen face?"
Princess Ning An squeezed her fingers, took a deep breath, put the golden sore medicine on the table, turned around and walked out.
…
In Renshou Palace, Xiao Heng had official business and left the palace after visiting his aunt.
It was only him and Xiao Jingkong when they came, and Gu Jiao came over from behind.
Xiaojingkong has Jiaojiao, where do you still remember the bad brother-in-law? He waved his little hand and sent the bad brother-in-law away!
Then he began to unravel the roof in the Renshou Palace.
As he grew older, his energy became stronger and his destructive power became stronger, but Gu Jiao would basically fix it for him.
When Princess Ning'an walked into Renshou Palace, she happened to see Gu Jiao repairing the swing frame in the small clear space.
Princess Ning'an has seen this swing frame many times, but she has never asked about its origin.
King Ning has two small county masters under his knees, and it is a matter of course that the uninformed will think that the swing frame is prepared for the two small county masters.
"Jiaojiao, is my swing ready?" Xiao Jingkong asked Gu Jiao cutely while standing behind the swing frame.
Gu Jiao said, "Not so fast, the seat plate is worn out, and the ropes need to be reinforced."
Xiao Jingkong thought for a while: "Then I'll go find my aunt first!"
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay."
"Auntie! I'm here!" Xiao Jingkong waving his little arms da da da da.
Gu Jiao squatted down and carefully repaired the swing in the small clearance, but did not notice Princess Ning An at the door.
Princess Ning'an stopped and looked at Gu Jiao for a moment.
After entering the palace, Princess Ning'an wore the gorgeous costumes of a royal princess, and occasionally painted her eyebrows with makeup.
Especially today, she also put on the former begonia makeup where she left a scar on her left cheek.
At first glance, the red birthmark on Gu Jiao's cheek resembled her Begonia makeup.
It's just that the Begonia makeup is depicted, small and delicate, and the birthmark pales in comparison.
Princess Ning An was a lively and active little princess before she came out of the court, but when she is quiet, she will have a quiet, demure and gentle side.
The aura that Gu Jiao exudes is a bit like Princess Ning'an's quietness, but it's even cooler.
"Princess." The maid with Sasao saw Princess Ning'an and gave her a respectful salute.
Gu Jiao turned her head, Princess Ning An smiled at her, and Gu Jiao nodded.
For Gu Jiao's act of not bowing to Princess Ning'an in the palace, all the palace people present were not surprised.
In fact, in front of the emperor just now, Gu Jiao did not show any servile attitude, but the emperor and Eunuch Wei were still accustomed to it.
Although Princess Ning'an and Gu Jiao walked all the way, they didn't communicate much. After Gu Jiao fell asleep in the snow-capped mountains of the previous dynasty, she was kept on her back by Gu Changqing, and when she returned to the military camp, she immediately put herself on the back isolation.
On the way back to Beijing, Princess Ning'an was always sitting in her carriage, while Gu Jiao was at the forefront of the queue alongside the Gu brothers.
The two... don't know each other very well.
Princess Ning'an went around the corridor, passed through the hanging flower gate, and went to the dormitory of Empress Dowager Zhuang.
She couldn't help but look back at Gu Jiao.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurried over with his fingers covered: "Miss Gu! Miss Gu! My finger is broken!"
It was a little eunuch with no rank.
"I'll take a look." Gu Jiao put down the tools in her hand, took out a clean handkerchief to hold his hand, checked it carefully, and said, "It's not broken, how did you get it?"
As soon as he heard it, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Just... smashed walnuts."
The maids who were doing the sweeping by the side covered their mouths and snickered.
The little eunuch scratched his head in shame.
Gu Jiao said, "Wrap it with a handkerchief and apply ice. If the swelling doesn't go away tomorrow, apply it again. After two days, apply a hot compress."
The little eunuch hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Miss Gu, the servant has written it down!"
Princess Ning'an withdrew her gaze and continued to walk towards Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom, never thinking that she ran into the little eunuch halfway.
The little eunuch should be a newcomer, and he didn't know much about the rules. He suddenly jumped out from the back of the corridor and almost bumped into Princess Ning'an.
Princess Ning'an didn't say anything, but he was frightened by himself, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Princess, spare your life! Princess, spare your life!"
Princess Ning'an said calmly, "Get up, I don't blame you."
"Yes! Many thanks to Princess Ning'an!" The little eunuch stood up tremblingly, not daring to raise his head to peep at his master's face.
Princess Ning'an said slowly, "I remember you weren't so afraid in front of Doctor Gu, and I don't eat people."
The little eunuch said respectfully: "You are the princess, the queen mother's favorite princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, and the servants dare not offend you."
Princess Ning'an said, "Isn't Doctor Gu my mother's favorite person?"
The little eunuch said embarrassingly, "Miss Gu, of course, too, but..."
"Just what?" Princess Ning An looked at him and asked.
"Girl Gu, she... she..." The little eunuch hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Princess Ning An smiled lightly: "She is more approachable than me, and more attractive to you than me."
The little eunuch shuddered: "That's not what the slave meant!"
