The next day, when Hua Yan woke up, Yun Chi had already gone to court, she lifted the curtain and looked out, the sun shone through the window, and most of the sun had set in the inner room, it was obviously already high in the sun.
She sat up, rubbed her sore body, looked at the red marks all over her body, and blushed when she thought of last night. It really overestimated the etiquette and etiquette that Yun Chi was taught since he was a child. How could he be so capable of tossing people on the bed like a wild horse that has run away.
Last night, Yun Chi was tossing her into darkness, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Caiqing heard the movement and asked in a low voice outside, "Crown Princess, are you awake?"
"Yeah, I'm awake." Huayan immediately put down the curtain again, and then pressed the erotic book under the pillow.
Caiqing asked tentatively, "I will ask someone to bring a bucket of water to bathe you."
Huayan's face was burned again, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was a little bit uneasy when she needed water so frequently in the past two days, but she had to wash it, so she could only nod in response.
Caiqing gave the order, and soon two rough envoys brought in a bucket of water and put it behind the screen.
Caiqing walked in, saw Huayan was still lying on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "I am waiting for you"
Huayan shook her head, "No, I will do it myself."
Cai Qing backed out again.
Huayan got up, her feet were weak and her legs were weak, and she walked behind the screen with great effort, then put herself in the bathtub, wrapped in warm water, she felt more comfortable.
After taking a bath, Huayan gained some strength, dressed properly, and left the room.
Cai Qing waited outside, saw Hua Yan, and smiled all over her face, "His Royal Highness ordered the servants, when you wake up, I will tell you to rest well today."
Huayan stretched out her hand to pat Caiqing's head, pinched her face again, and said with a straight face, "Don't you dare to laugh at me if you are fat?"
Caiqing blinked her eyes, she was not as daring to hide as Qiuyue, Ren Huayan patted and squeezed, and said with a smile, "I dare not, I am happy for you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Huayan withdrew her hand, and couldn't hold back her smile.
After eating, the sky was ringing at noon, Huayan had just woken up, so naturally she would not go back to take a nap, seeing that the weather outside was fine, the autumn wind was blowing, and it was not as hot as a few days ago, so she said to Caiqing, "Look for two This story book, let's go under the Phoenix tree."
Cai Qing nodded, found two story books, and asked someone to move the imperial concubine chair under the Phoenix tree.
When Nanny Fang heard about it, she hurriedly led people to prepare some melon and fruit refreshments, and set the table under the Phoenix tree.
Huayan was lying on the recliner under the Phoenix tree, and Caiqing was sitting on the low stool beside her, following the old rules, reading Huayan's Huayan.
Seeing Huayan's thin body, Mother Fang quickly ordered someone to take a thin blanket and cover her body.
Not long after, Xiao Zhongzi carried a big basket and went back to the East Palace panting. Hearing that Huayan was under the Phoenix Tree, he rushed to the Phoenix Tree panting again.
Hua Yan originally closed her eyes to rest her mind, but when she heard something, she opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhongzi.
Xiao Zhongzi hurried a few steps, came to the front, put down the big basket, wiped off his sweat, and saluted Huayan, "Crown Princess, these are lychees from Lingnan. They just came to Beijing. There are two baskets in total. I left a basket, and His Royal Highness ordered the servants to bring it to you."
Huayan poked her head and saw that it was indeed a large basket full of fresh lychees. It is not easy to eat lychees in Beijing at this time. Lingnan is two or three thousand miles away from the capital. It is estimated that several lychees were lost when they were sent to Beijing. Horses, she said with a smile, "Such a big basket, consider me a pig." After saying that, she told Caiqing, "We have separated, and sent a copy to Jingguo Mansion, Mei Mansion, and Anyang Prince Mansion." After speaking, he thought for a while, and said, "Send another copy to Wuweihou's and Zhao's residences."
Xiao Zhongzi said in a low voice, "Although it is a big basket, it will be lost if you do it like this."
Huayan smiled slightly, "Although the lychees are precious when they are sent to the capital, they are not as prestigious as His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness still has to rely on important ministers who are useful to the court. It's just a basket of lychees, and I can't bear to part with anything."
Xiao Zhongzi quickly bowed his head, "It's my slave's eyesight that's shallow, you're right."
Hua Yan said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is now in the meeting hall"
Xiao Zhongzi nodded, "We were discussing the disaster situation in the Northland. This morning, His Highness received a secret report, which was much more serious than what was reported in the memorial. A few days ago, a flood destroyed a county and drowned thousands of people. The imperial court The supervisory censor is in that county."
Huayan frowned, "Thousands of people drowned"
Xiao Zhongzi nodded, "Exactly."
Huayan's expression turned ugly, "The floods in the Chuanhe Valley have never been such a serious disaster in recent years except for five years ago. Why did so many people drown in the Northland?" After she finished speaking, she asked, "What county?"
Xiao Zhongzi immediately said, "The secret report said it was Yuqiu County.
"
Huayan thought about the geology and landforms of Yuqiu County in her mind for a moment, and her face became even more serious, "Where is the disaster in the north, logically speaking, it shouldn't be Yuqiu County. Then there was a diversion into the Lingqu River, and the flood could not reach Yuqiu County, and thousands of people were drowned, what a joke."
Xiao Zhongzi said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness also said the same. After receiving the secret report, he was very furious."
Huayan thought to herself that the situation in the Northland was even more chaotic than expected. Thousands of people were drowned, and one of them was the supervisory censor. Yet"
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head, "Not yet."
Huayan thought to herself that Yun Chi hadn't planned to rectify Beidi so quickly. She probably planned to take care of Beidi after her wedding, but she didn't expect such a big event to happen in Beidi so soon. Earth is imminent.
There is such a big difference between the report and the secret report, which shows how far the officials in the north protect and deceive each other
Yun Chi loves the people like a son, so he must be furious now.
She looked at Xiao Zhongzi, and asked in a gentle voice, "In addition to asking you to send back such a basket of lychees, His Royal Highness, what else did you say to you?"
Xiao Zhongzi shook his head, "His Royal Highness didn't say anything else, he just told you to rest well, and you don't have to wait for him for dinner, maybe you won't come back too early."
Huayan nodded, Yun Chi was naturally busy when something like this happened, so she waved to Xiao Zhongzi.
Xiao Zhongzi took his leave and left in a hurry.
According to Huayan's instructions, Caiqing divided a basket of lychees into several shares, and Steward Fu sent people to various prefectures.
Donggong kept two plates, Huayan ate half of the plate and left half for Yun Chi, and the other plate was divided between Caiqing, Fang Nanny, Fu Steward and others, everyone thanked them.
Duke Jing's Mansion, Mei Mansion, and Prince Anyang's Mansion received the lychees sent by the East Palace. They heard that it was Huayan's order, and they were overjoyed. Madam Mei rewarded the little eunuch of the East Palace with a smile, and asked the little eunuch to bring a post Give Huayan, invite her to enjoy the flowers in Meifu tomorrow.
Last time, when Hua Yan went to Mei Mansion, she used Mei Manor to withdraw her engagement. Although she didn't find out why, it made Mei Mansion panic for a long time. The marriage was re-finalized, and it was really nailed on the floor.
After Yun Chi returned to Beijing, the Ministry of Rituals has been intensively preparing the agenda for His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding these days. Both the government and the public have truly realized that no matter what, the Crown Princess must be beautiful. The Mei House naturally understands it more deeply. .
Although Mr. Mei was pissed off by Hua Yan earlier, he was not satisfied with her, but at the same time, he felt that he could compete with Yun Chi in a bold and bold woman. In terms of this point alone, other women are not as good.
What's more, although he doesn't know much about the southwest region, from Mei Shuyu's letter, he can also vaguely guess some of the role played by Huayan. Yes, I naturally support Mrs. Mei to invite Huayan again.
Sending the post back to the East Palace, Huayan accepted with a smile, thinking that she should also visit the Mei Mansion, and by the way, apologized for causing trouble to the Mei Manor due to her inappropriate appearance in the Mei Mansion earlier.
Neither the Marquis of Wuwei nor the Zhao Mansion expected to receive the lychee from Huayan.
Liu Fuxiang got the news of Su Zizhan from Huayan that day. Although she was relieved and no longer worried about whether Su Zizhan was dead, she still had a lingering depression towards Huayan in her heart.
When Su Zizhan met Huayan, he always treated her differently, asked her to get drunk, and carried her for thirty miles. Now even Marquis Wuwei doesn't know where he is, but she knows where he is, and even more knows whether he is good or not.
Even though Huayan still wanted to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she was still jealous to death of her difference in Su Zizhan's heart.
She didn't expect that Huayan would send someone to send a copy of the lychees to the Marquis of Wuwei. Lychees are rare and precious, so she couldn't help guessing what Huayan wanted to do with the Marquis of Wuwei, so she immediately sent someone to inform Marquis of Wuwei.
The Zhao residence was also very surprised to receive the lychees sent by Huayan. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but ask Zhao Zaipu. Zhao Zaipu immediately felt relieved in the palace and Marquis of Wuwei, and said to Mrs. Zhao, "The princess should have no other intentions. Lychees are rare, which probably represents the kindness of the Eastern Palace to the important officials in the court."
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she had a copy from the Zhao Mansion, although it was given by the Crown Princess, but in the name of the Eastern Palace, it meant that His Highness the Crown Prince had no grudges against the Zhao Mansion, and would still use it, otherwise the Crown Princess would not do it either. the move.
