The Story of Hua Yan

Chapter 4: Get lovesick

Views:

From March in Lin'an, when peaches, plums and apricots are in full bloom, to April in Beijing, the peaches, plums and apricots in the mountain temple are almost in bloom, and the flowers have not yet reached the capital.

Zheng Erhu lived in the East Palace for a month, waiting until the spring flowers were about to bloom, and he didn't wait for Huayan to come. He thought to himself, Miss Huayan ran away halfway, or she was just fooling the prince and would not come to the capital

He was uneasy, he was really uncertain, thinking that if she didn't come halfway, and put him in the East Palace, even though the food was good, the food was good, the clothes were good, and with the crown prince's orders, no one would make things difficult for him. But he was so disciplined that he didn't dare to move around, the entire East Palace was quiet every day, the servants were doing their own things, and no one talked to him, he was almost sick. I think it's better to squat in the cell of Lin'an County Government, at least someone can talk.

He was looking forward to it day by day, and the more he looked forward to it, the more he missed the cell.

After waiting for a long time, I really got lovesickness.

The steward of the East Palace told Yun Chi that Zhao Zaipu's birthday was coming soon, and asked the crown prince what gift to prepare in advance. Yun Chi thought for a moment, and after saying "no rush", the steward reported another matter , Said, "The man who came to deliver a letter to His Highness at the order of the Crown Princess is ill."

Yun Chi heard the words and ordered, "Please ask the imperial physician to show him."

The butler quickly said, "I've seen it."

Seeing the butler's troubled expression, Yun Chi raised his eyebrows, "Wouldn't the imperial doctor treat any illness?"

The housekeeper said helplessly, "The imperial physician said that he was suffering from lovesickness. For this disease, the person who untied the bell had to tie it."

"Oh." Yun Chi looked at the butler, "Who is he in love with?"

The housekeeper blushed for a moment, and said, "The old servant asked, and he said that he would be cured if he begged the crown prince to send him to the cell. He missed the cell."

Yun Chi laughed, "This is so new, is there anyone in the world who takes the initiative to find a cell and wants to go to jail and get sick?"

The housekeeper was also puzzled, "That's why the old slave is also wondering, I don't understand what's going on."

Yun Chi said, "How long has he been in the East Palace?"

The butler opened his mouth and answered, "I remember, it was the second day of March, and now it is the sixteenth of April. It has been a month and a half."

Yunchi nodded, "One and a half months is long enough."

The butler nodded, thinking why the princess hasn't come yet? She said she came to Beijing and didn't need the prince to pick her up, but she hasn't arrived yet. If the crown prince sends someone to pick him up, he can pick them up twice from the capital to Lin'an.

Yun Chi thought for a while, and ordered, "Since he asked, just follow what he said and send him to the Yamen in Beijing."

The housekeeper should say, "The old slave will send someone to send him there."

Yun Chi waved his hand, "You send it there yourself."

The butler was startled, and instantly realized that the yamen in Beijing is easy to get in and hard to get out. This is the person who delivered the letter to the Crown Princess. Although he looks like a big, thick-headed and stupid man, he can't be allowed to die. Send it over."

Yun Chi nodded.

The steward led people to carry Zheng Erhu out of the house, put him on the carriage, packed up a batch of beautiful quilts, and personally sent him from the East Palace to the Yamen in Beijing.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate and the housekeeper of the East Palace are even more the crown prince's three-point face. After hearing this, a group of people from the government office rushed out of the government office.

The housekeeper cupped his hands to Master Zhao of the government office, and asked, "Master Zhao, there are still spare cells in the government office, how about borrowing the old slave for use?"

Mr. Zhao hurriedly cupped his hands, "Central Beijing has been very peaceful recently, there is no small disturbance, and there are many empty cells in the government office." After finishing speaking, he asked tentatively

Ask, "Someone in the East Palace has committed a crime and needs to be locked up for a few days"

The steward shook his head, "It's not that someone committed a crime, it's that someone got sick and missed this cell. The old servant accepted His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness agreed and sent this old servant to send him here in person. This person's name is Zhao Erhu, and he is a distinguished guest of the East Palace. Please take care of me a little bit more, please don't make any mistakes when he lives in the prison of the government office."

Master Zhao was taken aback, there are still people who miss the prison cell

The butler clasped his hands, "Lord Zhao, don't worry, I'm in the carriage."

Master Zhao didn't know why, but since the steward of the East Palace personally sent the man according to the prince's order, he had to accept whatever he said, and asked in a low voice, "Housekeeper Fu, this distinguished guest will stay here for a few days."

The butler shook his head, "I can't tell when I will recover from my illness and when I will go out."

Master Zhao was startled, "Are you sick?"

The butler sighed, "Exactly."

Master Zhao quickly asked, "Whether the illness is serious, whether it is an infectious disease or an unspeakable hidden disease. This official must know the illness before he can take good care of him for His Highness."

The housekeeper said silently, "Lovesickness."

Master Zhao was stunned again.

The housekeeper asked Zhao Erhu to be helped out of the car. He was obviously very happy when he saw the prison cell of the government office. He thanked Steward Fu and Mr. Zhao repeatedly, and laughed, "Thank you both, and thank you Prince, the younger one likes to stay in the cell inside."

Steward Fu and Master Zhao looked at each other, speechless looking at him.

Mr. Zhao arranged a single room for Zheng Erhu. When Zheng Erhu saw it, he shook his head immediately, "My lord, I don't want a separate cell, but a big cell squeezed together with the big guy." After saying that, he drew a big cell with his hand arc.

"This..." Mr. Zhao looked at Steward Fu, "The environment in the cell is not good."

Zheng Erhu immediately said, "The villain is not afraid."

Seeing this, Steward Fu said to Mr. Zhao, "Let's arrange it according to what he said."

Master Zhao could only nod his head.

Now the capital is peaceful, there are few criminals, and there are only a few prisoners in the largest cell of the Beijing government. But this is enough for Zhao Erhu to be happy. As soon as he entered, he cheerfully greeted the people inside, changed his sickly appearance in the East Palace and couldn't even get out of bed, and instantly became alive and kicking.

After making arrangements for Zhao Erhu, Steward Fu bid farewell to Mr. Zhao, who was in the government office, and returned to the East Palace.

After he informed Yun Chi and arranged for Zhao Erhu's passing, he tentatively suggested, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess hasn't arrived for so long. Could it be that something went wrong on the way? Would you like to send someone along the way to find the whereabouts of the Crown Princess?"

Yun Chi asked without answering, "Her place has been tidied up."

The butler quickly said, "It was tidied up two months ago, and someone cleans it every day, just waiting for the Crown Princess to come and live."

Yun Chi glanced at the dried apricot branches Zheng Erhu gave him that day and said, "She will be here in three to five days, so don't look for it."

The butler looked at the dry flower branch and thought to himself, never heard that apricot blossoms were given away by folding flowers to give away, this princess is really acting differently from ordinary people. It's been a month and a half and it hasn't arrived yet. Will it arrive in three or five days

Yun Chi laughed, and said warmly, "She sent someone to send an apricot branch to tell me that when the apricot blossoms in the capital fail to bloom, I will see her as if I saw this dried apricot branch. Now the apricot blossoms will bloom for another three to five days, and they will all fall."

The housekeeper suddenly realized.
