Chapter 237
In the wild fields of the eastern suburbs, the autumn wind is drying and the rice is fragrant. From a distance, I can see farmers bending down and working in the fields.
Fengge and Xia Wulang stood under the shade of the trees on the side of the road and unexpectedly discovered that there were many middle-aged people busy in the fields in the distance. They squinted their eyes slightly and took a closer look to see that their figures and neat movements were not like ordinary people.
of farmers.
While I was wondering, a group of laughing and joking women came from the nearby field ridge. It seemed that the tall women were making fun of their burly colleagues.
The comrade was angrily carrying a large bundle of yellow straw and heading towards Suiyuan without looking back. Fengge and Xia Wulang recognized her. She was Qu Tinglan, the eldest daughter of General Qu Guangping of the Wei, and now she is the princess.
I'm on errand.
"Hey," Xia Wulang, who was a familiar person, strode after them, "Hey, you guys, why are you mowing so much grass? This is the farmer's ration. Don't mess around and smear your Highness!"
Feng Ge stood calmly in the distance and took a cursory look at the female guards. They were indeed the ones around His Highness, and the one named Luo was among them. When it comes to outsiders, robbing farmers of food is a trivial matter. Many children from aristocratic families find it rare and take it as amusement.
But it was a big deal for Princess Taihe, even if they only robbed a grain of rice.
"Master Xia, Master Feng." Luo Yan recognized the two of them and quickly saluted respectfully, "Master Xia has misunderstood. As a princess, how can a general dare to rob farmers of grain? I bought a few bundles with silver and brought them back to Suiyuan for His Highness.
For flower arrangements.”
Ah?! Xia Wulang was stunned, "Arrange flowers?" Arrange grass?
"Exactly," Luo Yan said with a smile, "His Highness said that the fragrance of the four seasons is not limited to flowers and fruits, but all things can be fragrant. He said that the fragrance of rice is fresh and pure, and if you occasionally smell it, it is more refreshing and nourishing than the fragrance of autumn orchids.
Heartfelt. No, let me buy a bundle and bring her back home to give her a fresh taste when I help with the harvest."
"Taste it?!" Xia Wulang couldn't help but laugh.
"Why, Mr. Xia doesn't even know what the food he eats looks like?" A female guard couldn't help but tease her, causing all her friends to snicker.
They are the female guards of the princess, and they will inevitably speak casually when they meet the good-tempered royal relatives. Because of knowing this, Luo Yan did not accuse or reprimand them in person, but saluted the two of them and led everyone to catch up with Qu.
Tinglan.
He waited until he couldn't see the two of them before scolding them softly, showing his superiority and inferiority.
At the same time, Fengge was also telling Xia Wulang, "You should pay more attention when you run this way in the future, and see if there are any masters who can defeat the enemy with a hundred steps..."
The main reason was to pay attention to whether there were any strangers entering or leaving the princess's guard camp. In addition, the expert archer he was referring to was none other than the man who shot and killed King Duan's eldest son in the battle in the south of the city that day.
There is a rumor that he killed Prince Duan's son out of righteousness.
The late emperor wanted to award him a reward, but he refused after explaining the actual situation. On the surface, he saved Yuan Zhao once. The late emperor was satisfied with his honesty, praised him for his meritorious service in saving the princess, and rewarded him with the bow used by Emperor Taizu.
Got him.
Later, there was a guard in the camp in the south of the city who claimed to be the son of the traitor he shot and killed. After an on-the-spot assessment, it was found that although he was not very skilled, he did have the ability to pierce an enemy with a hundred steps.
But Fengge had doubts and reported this to the court, who only rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold.
If he finds out that the other party is falsely claiming military merit, let alone reward him, it will be a light blow. If he is really someone close to the princess, he must get the other party. She is smart, and there are so many masters around her, which is disturbing.
.
"Tsk, are you worrying too much?" Xia Wulang had a headache, "Don't we all get along well now?"
Is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?
"That's why I let you observe, and I didn't ask you to do anything else." Feng Ge glanced at him, "Wu Lang, don't forget, we are a family."
Alas, Xia Wulang glanced at the crisp blue sky of autumn and sighed.
The late emperor's designation of her as a princess meant acceptance. Why should we be wary of each other? Can't we get along well with each other?
Look, what a beautiful weather!
If it is true as she said, the breeze blows and the smell of the fields is delicious.
…
Talking about Suiyuan, Yuan Zhao originally wanted to name it Jiyuan, but he was afraid that the old officials in the court would accuse her of trying to get involved in the Feng family's Jiangshan Sheji, so he changed it to Suiyuan.
As a result, he was laughed at in person by a female official from the palace...a female medical officer.
"It's a good saying, 'When there are crops in the countryside, there are noble people in the house.' Your Highness is good at writing, and the name means elegance and down-to-earth." Faced with Yuan Zhao's remarks, the female medical officer smiled and made some sarcastic remarks, "It makes me wait. It’s beyond the reach of ordinary women.”
"It's just for my own entertainment, to make Medical Officer Yu laugh." Yuan Zhao suddenly smiled, "The word fate is really wonderful. After going round and round, you came back to my house... Oh, what a damn fate. !”
The last exclamation was soft in tone, but it made people's hair stand on end.
Medical Officer Yu's expression was slightly condensed, and his smile was slightly forced:
"Isn't that right? These girls come from the right way, but some of them come from the countryside, and some of them come from the families of criminals. They don't understand the rules of serving others. I hope Her Royal Highness will forgive you for any inconveniences in the future."
"That's easy to say." Yuan Zhao glanced at the two little girls kneeling on the ground and smiled, "The medical girls brought by Medical Officer Yu must have been well-educated. If there is any deficiencies, I will find you. Don't worry. "
"..."
Doctor Yu's heart was racing, but she still had to show a respectful smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, the sound coming from the door made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, the ears of rice you asked for are back!" Qu Tinglan stepped into the main hall and successfully blocked the light in the main hall. "Look, these ears of rice are so plump! They are heavy and hanging, enough for the few of us to eat." Dun!"
Haha, Yuan Zhao looked at the large bundle on her back with a dumbfounded look. Seeing Luo Yan and others coming in one after another, he said:
"Thank you for your hard work, please sit down and introduce a few people to you..."
Medical Officer Yu, when she and her father first returned to the Marquis Mansion and pretended to be injured, it was Medical Officer Yu who was sent by the late emperor to treat her.
Yuan Zhao didn't like her. She was used to being a high-ranking person and suppressing those who were inferior. When she was in the Hou's Mansion, a chamberlain could make her crawl on the ground; but in the Hou's Mansion, she had eyes above her head and was completely He didn't pay attention to the entire Hou family.
Including Yuan Zhao and his mother Jiang, they didn't have much respect for their father, and they were very sloppy in terms of etiquette.
Last time she was sent by the late emperor, but this time I don't know who is her master.
The other two little girls were small because they looked dwarfed in front of Yuan Zhao, but in fact they were petite and exquisite. They also learned etiquette in the palace, and each had a good appearance. Their posture was upright and dignified, and their behavior was measured. They were better than other ladies.
The one with a slightly larger frame is called Cailing, and the petite one is called Hongye. Both of them are over 20 years old, their faces are like peach and plum blossoms, and they are youthful and plump.
The man named Hongye, Yuan Zhao recognized, was the one who gave her chrysanthemum tea in the palace that day.
Palace maids can be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five and have good status. But medical women are rare. Without the permission of their masters, they can only die in the palace or in the palaces of princes and nobles.
"From now on, the three of them, the master and the apprentice, will live in Suiyuan. If any of the female guards have a fever or a headache, they can go directly to them for treatment." Yuan Zhao told Luo Yan, "Later, you can find someone to take them to the west courtyard to settle down.
Whether you will be healthy in the future depends on them, so be nice to them."
"No!" The female guards saluted the three of them happily and enthusiastically, "I'll have to trouble the medical officer from now on."
Medical Officer Yu's face didn't look good. He nodded again and said indifferently: "It's just her duty." Well, her duty is to serve the princess! How can these female guards seek medical treatment from her?!
