Chapter 14 Wait
Author: Qing Yunmo
As soon as I walked into the house, there was a loud roar in the sky and heavy rain pouring down.
I don't know whether it was the wind or something else, but in the evening Yun Zhao felt hot all over and lost consciousness.
Qiuyue boiled the medicine, and after it became warm, she fed it to Yun Zhao in small sips.
After drinking the medicine, Yun Zhao quickly fell into a drowsy sleep.
Probably because she was ill, strange pictures kept appearing in her mind.
A handkerchief dipped in cold water was placed on her forehead, and she did it over and over again for half the night, until her body was no longer so hot.
Su Xi carefully guarded the door, looking inside the door worriedly from time to time.
The wooden door was closed tightly, and she couldn't see the scene inside no matter how she raised her head.
"Auntie, shall we just let His Highness the Crown Prince stay inside alone?"
Yun Zhao had been in a daze for a long time, but Xiao Changyin, who was supposed to be suppressing bandits outside the city, had returned.
He first went to the emperor to return his orders, and then returned to the East Palace.
It happened that the imperial doctor had just come out of the East Palace. When he saw Xiao Changyin, he told him about Yun Zhao's condition.
Xiao Changyin paused on the spot, and then quickened his pace to Fanghua Hall.
Then he asked all the palace attendants to go out, and he picked up the veil that Qiuyue had just put down.
Mu Yi, who was staying at the door, explained to the two people, "His Highness went to Guangming Palace when he came back and listened to His Majesty's teachings."
The so-called teaching was nothing more than reprimanding Xiao Changyin and asking him to show more respect to the Crown Princess.
Even if you don't like it, you can't let outsiders see it.
Qiuyue heard what she meant, nodded, took a look at the sky, and asked everyone around her to get down, including Suxi.
She and Mu Yi were the only two people staying here.
Qiuyue asked Mu Yi by the way, "Didn't you say it would take a few days to come back?"
Mu Yi grinned, feeling very proud, "Auntie didn't see His Highness' heroic appearance. His Highness made a plan to make those gangsters kneel down and beg for mercy without even using a single soldier."
Inside the Hall of Fanghua.
There was still anger on the man's face, but in contrast, he was holding a half-carved piece of wood in his hand.
When he returned from suppressing bandits, he did not receive even a word of praise from the emperor.
To outsiders, it seemed that it was because he treated the Crown Princess poorly that his father was so cold towards him. However, in reality, his father knew what was going on, and so did he.
"Zhaozhao." He put down the wood in his hand, changed the scarf on her forehead, held her still hot right hand, and murmured softly, "Wait a minute, give me some time."
A sleepy person will naturally not be able to hear his words.
He looked at her quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, he brushed away the wet hair from her forehead, moved his long and well-jointed fingers downwards, and finally held her shoulders.
When Yun Zhao woke up the next day, naturally no one was in front of the bed.
However, Su Xi came over with a happy face and said that His Royal Highness stayed here all night and did not leave until dawn in the morning.
Because there were no cups or vases being thrown, Su Xi thought this was a good sign.
Yun Zhao was about to stand up, but his right hand seemed to be holding something.
She looked down and saw that it was a little fox carved from wood.
The big tail is wrapped around the front, and the chin is resting on the tail, making it look very naive.
When I got off the bed, I lowered my head and glanced under the bed. Sure enough, I still couldn't throw away the small wooden box.
Next to it, there is another wooden box that is larger than the small wooden box.
After opening it, it is empty.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Zhao understood why this wooden box appeared.
The previous one was already half full, but after a while, I couldn't put anything in it anymore.
She felt a little sour in her eyes, and her heart felt astringent and annoyed.
Because his health was not fully recovered, Yun Zhao did not go out that day.
Qiuyue sent the palace attendants off, and just when Yun Zhao thought she was coming to tell her how to be a qualified princess, Qiuyue took out a few story books from her sleeves.
It was obviously her first time to do this. There were six story books in total, and she put them all in one sleeve, so looking from a distance, her right arm looked ridiculously bloated.
However, she was able to talk in the East Palace, so no one noticed her weirdness along the way.
In addition to the right arm, there is also the expression on the face.
Qiuyue was very uncomfortable. She put the storybook in front of Yun Zhao, "I heard that girls of the princess's age like to read these the most, so I ordered someone to buy a lot of them."
"Many..." Yun Zhao was a little confused and then said, "How many are they?"
Qiuyue's expression was hard to explain, "In the third side hall from the south of Fanghua Hall, three bookshelves taller than a person are filled."
"Auntie, there are so many story books, are they expensive?" Yun Zhao lowered his head and looked at the story books on the table, his eyes full of puzzlement and confusion.
Qiuyue's smile froze, thinking about what kind of reason she should make up.
If she bought it with her own money, then the Crown Princess would definitely give her the money.
so……
Qiuyue thought for a while and said, "These are actually shops under the name of the Crown Princess, and they don't cost money."
"shop?"
"It was given to the Crown Princess by the Empress." Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief. There should be no mistake in this reason.
After all, the Empress did give the Crown Princess a shop, and there was indeed a bookstore in the shop.
Yun Zhao kept one copy and hid the others in the box. After opening the story book and reading a few pages, he remembered something important, "Auntie, shouldn't I read the palace rules and regulations?"
It seems that she has never seen anything like this since she entered the palace, and even the teaching mother has not come here.
Qiuyue: "..."
The Queen Mother did send someone to teach her, but Her Highness the Crown Prince ordered someone to send him away.
Because of this, the Queen Mother remained "sick" in bed for two days.
She twitched her lips and said with a smile, "The Crown Princess knows etiquette and rules very well, there is no need to learn them."
Qiuyue is right. Although there are many differences between Yun Guo and Beixiao, including etiquette, they are also the same.
But no matter how big the difference is, it's not that big.
She only learned the whole set of etiquette after watching the palace attendants perform it once.
Qiuyue went out and made some small snacks with peach fillings in them, which tasted particularly sweet.
She asked Su Xi to carry it in. Yun Zhao frowned for a long time after seeing it.
"Where is he?"
Su Xi was startled for a moment, "Is it His Highness the Crown Princess you are asking about?"
"Yeah." Yun Zhao nodded.
Su Xi smiled happily and said, "His Highness left early in the morning and said he would have dinner here."
Yun Zhao was about to speak when he saw a sudden noise outside.
Concubine Zheng came over with an apology.
Qiuyue wanted to stop her, but she didn't.
After all, Concubine Zheng was a beloved concubine. Even if she was accused of disrespecting the queen and inserting someone in the East Palace, she was only fined a small amount of money and received more than two days of neglect.
This is enough to show her grace.
