"The mistress is here! Cough cough... cough cough cough cough... I haven't come far to welcome you... Yun Jing is... really unfilial." She coughed unable to form a single sentence. She had always been good at pretending.
Sickness, she thought, don't overdo it one day. God really gave her a sickness.
He Wen took a few steps forward and looked at her with big stupid eyes: "Do you feel better today?" She came to test her condition.
She felt unhappy when she saw this face, let alone being so close, and immediately coughed towards He Wen's big face with all her strength and without concealment: "Ahem...cough cough cough cough cough cough.
...ouch...cough cough cough...ouch ouch!”
Putting her breathless posture on her chest, Si Yu quickly placed her on the main seat.
"Ouch! Ouch! You, you..." With saliva all over her face, she yelled in disgust and backed away, waving her hands outward randomly.
That stupid look made everyone present laugh. Aunt An went up to help her, for fear that she would trip over her.
"You, you... what are you doing! Are you dirty? Don't spread your disease on me!" He Wen glared at her angrily, waving his sleeves to wipe his face.
Si Yu started to act, and her tears fell down in a daze: "My wife is seriously ill, and I hope my mistress will take more care of her. Si Yu apologizes to you on my behalf. Fortunately, I haven't vomited blood recently. My poor mistress!"
!!”
"Ah? You vomited blood? Is it so serious?" She looked shocked, pursed her lips, and shook her head repeatedly.
After a moment, she took a sip of the tea served by the maid and regained her breath. She said with erratic breath: "Alas! It's because Yunjing's fortune is so poor... Ahem, I can't bear the favor of this heavenly family. What's the matter with your mistress?
Mistress, hurry up and say it...ahem, I'm afraid my body won't last long."
She didn't want to waste much time with He Wen, and she didn't want to see her. She wanted to finish talking and get rid of it as soon as possible.
He Wen sat down and wiped his face with the handkerchief handed over by Aunt An. He kept wiping it for a long time without stopping. His face turned red after wiping it, and he still felt extremely disgusted.
"I came here to see how you are. This is what I should do as a housewife. Secondly, I wanted to see if you can go to the ice viewing party in half a month."
Chu Yunjing was about to refuse, but He Wen stopped her words without giving her a chance to speak.
"Our family also wants you to show your face in front of those high-ranking people, and to show your brother the ladies from aristocratic families. It's time for the third and fourth sons of your uncle's family to get married. In the Zhengguo Palace,
I have witnessed that with my own eyes. It is true that they bullied you. You think that since you don’t have a husband to support you and you don’t go out often, you will inevitably encounter some rumors. We have also discussed that instead of going to their house to be bullied, it is better to go to our own house.
When hosting a banquet, no one around can embarrass the host’s family.”
Someone must have taught her these words. They were said calmly and well-founded. No one can refuse. If Shan Hewen still prefers to give his son a wife first, Chu Yungjing refuses this topic now.
Impossible.
Hearing this, Chu Yunjing was a little excited, and looked at He Wen with grateful eyes: "Thank you, Mistress, for planning for me. I also want to thank Mistress for the things that happened a few days ago. I will go to the banquet."
He Wen was stunned when he mentioned the past few days. After delivering the coffin to the palace that day, Chu Yi almost broke up with her. The two of them had been arguing for several days, and finally Qiao came up with an idea to hold a banquet. The two of them
The relationship has eased a bit.
He Wen smiled awkwardly: "Okay, you can just go. Oh, my family said no thanks. Just go back and take care of yourself. I brought you some supplements and asked Aunt An to put them away, so I won't delay."
I’m sorry for you, let’s go first!”
After saying that, she turned to leave. The maid behind her coughed and signaled He to salute. He Wen reacted for a moment, and then bowed awkwardly to Chu Yunjing with an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing that the maid was about to ask her to behave again, Chu Yunjing waved his hand and let her go. He was probably unable to give this stepdaughter a big gift at the moment.
Aunt An went to see Mr. He off, and Chu Yunjing was helped into the inner room. After closing the door, she stopped pretending, took off her cloak and lay down on the bed. It was a tiring day.
A few days later, tonics were delivered to the palace, and the imperial doctor came to check her pulse every day. Yesterday, she bled from her finger. The imperial doctor smacked her lips and said that the princess was so angry that the bleeding was black and she needed to rest for a while.
day.
This quack doctor was better at pretending than she was. When they were sent out to see a doctor, they would get rewards. The more days they came, the more rewards they would get. This quack doctor was very good at calculating. She immediately thanked the quack doctor profusely and gave him some more rewards.
He even kissed the quack doctor and asked him to come back tomorrow. The quack doctor was extremely happy and said a lot of auspicious words.
Early that morning, at four o'clock in the morning, she was still asleep. It was because she was seriously ill, so it didn't matter if she stayed in bed for a long time. Si Yu came to shake her and said that Concubine Zhang was already on her way to the mansion to visit her.
He arrived within a quarter of an hour without the princess getting up to greet him. She was so shocked that she hurriedly drove away the Duke of Zhou in her dream.
He took out makeup and made himself look sick, and added a heavy smell of medicine to the room before going to bed. He leaned against the bedside bag, and his imaginary state, which made it difficult to lift his eyelids, suddenly came to life.
After a while, someone heard that the concubine had arrived, and she was about to stand up to greet her. Concubine Zhang pressed her down with a frown on her face: "Oh, don't get up, look at how you got so sick."
Zhang Miaohe is still so dazzling. Even women are very greedy to take a look at such a face, let alone men.
Dressed in a tea-white color with dark patterns of auspicious clouds, and a simple jade hairpin and silver crown, the medicinal aura of the house was covered up by her own fragrance when she came into the room. Her pair of phoenix eyes were born to look down on the world without making any expression, and her thin lips did not stain the toilet.
Red.
Chu Yunjing thought, the female immortal king and Bodhisattva in the sky are nothing more than this, no! Zhang Guifei is an immortal, she must be the goddess and immortal who made a mistake and came to earth to survive the tribulation.
"Why are you bothering me to leave the palace? I have such a big face!"
She was counting the days and she shouldn't be coughing anymore. She was afraid she wouldn't get better if she pretended to be so serious. She just looked tired and frowning.
"Alas! The Queen is thinking of you, and she is also ill. Since she is worried about you, she comes out and takes a look. I simply have nothing to do. I listen to the report of the imperial doctor every day, and what I say is that every day is getting better and better.
It's a good day, but your Majesty and I are always worried."
Chu Yunjing was a little panicked: "The Queen is also sick? But was she affected by what happened that day?"
Concubine Zhang Guifei sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head, and looked sadly: "Don't think about these things. It's not because of you anyway, so don't think about yourself!"
She thought that this matter would implicate the Queen. There was no news that the Queen was ill, so why should she hide it so strictly.
She took Concubine Zhang's hands lying on the brocade quilt, and felt uneasy in her heart: "What disease do you have? Is it serious? Why is there no news at all?"
"It's not a serious illness. I've been worried about you for several days. You caught the wind and cold. The queen is always worried about Duke Zhengguo's affairs. At this time, she hides the illness because she doesn't want Duke Zhengguo to be implicated anymore. She wants to preserve the Hao family as much as possible."
The queen was devoted to the Hao family, but Duke Zhengguo was very confused. She didn't think about how to continue the glory of the Hao family. She only thought about her own selfishness. Not only was she selfish, but she also indulged her juniors and frequently caused trouble.
In these two incidents, three years ago, Duke Zhengguo's granddaughter, when she was only thirteen years old, pushed Shilang Hu's daughter into a pond and drowned due to some verbal dispute.
The queen dealt with the mess for her good brother time and time again, and was often impeached by the courtiers.
"After suffering so much for my mother, if she had a good brother, she wouldn't be like this."
"You can't say that, be careful. Walls have ears!" Concubine Zhang put her hand on her lips and looked out the door warily.
As expected of someone who has lived in the palace for ten years, he understands some small tricks very well, and he can also remind Chu Yunjing that disaster comes from his mouth.
She nodded yes.
While the two were talking, Si Yu hurriedly ran in and reported: "Two ladies! Just now the concierge came to report that Prince Huai is here. He ignored the notice and went straight into the house. He is about to come to our house!"
After hearing this, Chu Yunjing sat up with difficulty. At this moment, she was restless: "King Huai? Why is no one stopping you?"
"General Suhua went to stop me when I came in to tell you. My... I am afraid... General Suhua always protects my master. I am afraid that he will draw his sword towards His Highness Prince Huai!"
"Go quickly...stop Suhua, stop them, go..."
She got off the bed in a hurry and was thinking about why Qin Yun came here at this time. Could it be that he blamed her for the queen's illness and came here to catch her pretending to be sick to avenge Qin Yun's cousin and the queen?
What should she do? She was in a panic going to get the coat when she accidentally caught a glimpse of Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang was also in a panic and was in a dilemma. Why did Concubine Zhang look guilty?
A thought came to mind, could it be that Qin Yun came to see Zhang Guifei?
As a concubine in the palace, Concubine Zhang never stepped out of the palace except for a wedding three years ago. Qin Yun rarely saw her in the palace on weekdays, and almost looked at her from a distance.
If the rumors are true and they were childhood sweethearts and had a friendship, then Qin Yun must have come to see Zhang Miaohe this time.
There are only a few people in Prince Qi's palace, and the servants in the palace are always strict in talking about things. They will not go out to talk nonsense. It is reasonable for Qin Yun to say that he came to visit me in the Zhengguo Palace.
She thought about it, and Qian Guanguan helped her tie the plain snow silk skirt around her waist, and wrapped her outer coat in a plain smoked shirt, making her dressing movements much lighter.
As soon as he was dressed, Qin Yun stepped into the threshold. In front of Qin Yun was Su Hua, who was facing him with a sword drawn.
"If the prince goes any further, the general will draw his sword!" Su Hua threatened.
Chu Yunjing broke out in a cold sweat, dear God! How is this different from Mr. Zheng that day!
"Su Hua, don't be presumptuous! Get out of here and ask His Highness Prince Huai to come in!"
After sending Suhua out, Qin Yun looked unhappy, but fortunately he didn't have an attack. It would be unreasonable for her to break into the woman's inner room.
Sure enough, Chu Yunjing guessed it right. As soon as Qin Yun came in, he looked at Concubine Zhang, his eyes flashed with greed, and then he lowered his head and saluted Concubine Zhang.
"I didn't know that the imperial concubine is here, but the young king is being abrupt."
