General's humble stand-in

Qionghua Court

Incense tablets are burned in the purple smoke cage, overflowing with rich floral fragrance, permeating the room.

The pink bed curtain hangs down the ground, and when the soft yarn floats with the airflow, it seems to be gently rippling in water waves.A figure loomed above the bed, and a wrist protruded from under the bed curtain, covered with a jade-white veil.

Shen Feng tapped his pulse lightly with his finger, got up after a while, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations princess."

The princess behind the bed curtain gave a faint "hmm", retracted her wrist but did not get up.

Caizhu, who had been waiting by the bed, brushed her body and saluted, "Thank you Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, go slowly."

Now that he was ordered to evict guests, Shen Feng couldn't say anything more, turned around and left Qionghua Pavilion.

The sun is very good, and the winter snow is gradually melting.It was wet as if it had just rained in spring, and the garden was filled with the smell of soil.

Under the long corridor outside the door, Tao Zhuo and Gu Ansheng shared the snacks brought by Shen Feng, you and I ate a piece of it.

Seeing Shen Feng approaching from afar, Tao Zhuo pushed the food box in his arms to Gu Ansheng, not forgetting to tell him, "Leave some for me."

Then, he ran to meet Shen Feng.

"Master, is the princess really pregnant?"

Seeing Shen Feng nodding, Tao Zhuo felt sour in his heart.In my heart, I persuaded myself that I should be happy for the general, but there will always be waves of pain, like a raging wave that swallows Tao Zhuo bit by bit.

After all, it is deeply rooted in love. She knows that he is her husband and he will become her father, but she still likes her so much that she can't extricate herself.

In the room, Gu Ye and Cheng Ziyuan were discussing the occasional invasion of the Yu Kingdom in the southern border. Seeing Shen Feng coming in, Gu Ye hurriedly asked, "How?"

The smile on Shen Feng's face had a deep meaning and was a little mocking, "Congratulations, General, Young Madam is already a month pregnant."

"Really?" Gu Ye frowned, apparently not believing it.

"It's not that I can't even diagnose a happy pulse." Shen Feng said, "But the young lady's pulse is not stable, so she needs to rest in order to avoid fetal gas movement."

Cheng Ziyuan on the side didn't know why, so he smiled and showed two pointed canine teeth, "Congratulations, General He Xi, and don't forget to treat me to a drink when the child is full moon.".

Shen Feng kicked him from behind, and said fiercely, "Shut up."

Like a child who has done something wrong, Cheng Ziyuan rubbed the tip of his nose innocently, and didn't say another word if he was obedient.

After Shen Feng's personal examination, the young lady's happy event blew through every corner of the general's mansion like a gust of wind.The old lady even went to the Qionghua Pavilion in person, and told the maids in the yard to serve her well and not make any mistakes.

For a while, the titular princess who was secretly ridiculed by the slaves in the mansion became a real young lady.

In the blink of an eye, it's March, and the peach blossoms in Tingfang Garden are blooming a little pink.The soil on the side of the road is also stained with a layer of green and tender green shoots.

The spring rain knocks on the door, and the mist is misty.

The rain kept ticking, and the charcoal fire was removed in early spring, and the room was faintly damp and cold.

Tao Zhuo sat by the red sandalwood desk and flipped through the scrolls, but occasionally looked outside absent-mindedly.Early in the morning, Gu Ye was wearing thin clothes before going to court. Although he was followed by a carriage, the weather would inevitably feel damp and cold.

I got up and went to the table to touch the purple sand teapot. Fortunately, the tea in it was still hot, which relieved the cold.

Suddenly a servant came to pass, saying that the young lady called Tao Zhuo to go to Qionghua Pavilion.

Tao Zhuo didn't dare to delay, and hurried out against the cool rain.

When we arrived at the Qionghua Pavilion, we saw the door was closed tightly, and a thick blue and white jacket wrapped in colorful beads was standing under the eaves, eating melon seeds leisurely.

Seeing Tao Zhuo entered the courtyard, she hastily pointed at him, "Don't move, Young Madam has fallen asleep again now, just stand there and wait."

The rain was not heavy, but after standing for a long time, the whole body was still drenched.Tao Zhuo's cheeks were pale, and the raindrops falling from the eyelashes blurred his vision.

The clothes are soaked and cool to the bone.Tao Zhuo tightly clenched his cold fingertips, his cold teeth trembling slightly.

Taozhuo wanted to stamp the chill on her feet, Caizhu immediately raised her eyes, and reprimanded, "Don't move around, you'll be fine if you disturb the young lady."

Tao Zhuo lowered his head and brushed away the hair sticking to his forehead, only to see small blisters formed on the upper of the shoe that had been penetrated by the rain.

Time seemed to stand still, and in the endless cold, waiting became the most painful torment.

When the whole body was numb from the cold, the carved wooden door was finally pushed open.

Princess Pingnan yawned and asked Tao Zhuo with a smile, "Is the general going back to the palace?"

Tao Zhuo shook his head, and replied, "When I came, the general hadn't returned yet. At this moment, I don't know."

When speaking, the voice trembled.

The princess nodded, "Got it, go back."

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the rain was bound to happen, and the princess wanted to punish him, and there was no need for a reason.

First went back to the residence and changed into clean clothes, Tao Zhuo went to Tingfeng Tower again, and sneezed several times along the way.

Gu Ansheng, who was sitting on the porch, was wiping his trousers splashed with muddy water, when he saw Tao Zhuo approaching, he took out a candied date from his pocket and threw it over.

Then he winked into the room, indicating that the general has returned.

In the past, Gu Ansheng was jealous, so he snatched away the general with sourness.Now he hits it off with a embroidered lady in the mansion, wishing that Tao Zhuo would serve the general every day, so that he would have time to spend time with the embroidered lady.

Tao Zhuo stuffed the candied dates into his mouth, smiled gratefully at Gu Ansheng, and quickly walked into the room.

Gu Ye was standing beside the desk writing and brushing ink, and Tao Zhuo hurried forward to study the ink when he saw this.

"Where did you go?" Gu Ye asked without looking up.

"I..." Tao Zhuo thought for a while, then whispered back, "Isn't it raining outside, I'll go see if the chicken coop is closed."

Gu Ye chuckled softly, "That's about the kitchen, so why worry about it?"

Tao Zhuo smiled shyly, but said nothing.

The room is clean, except for the "rustling" sound of the pen tip across the paper.

Tao Zhuo's speed of grinding ink was getting slower and slower, his hands were limp and weak, and he was just turning the ink stick with inertia.

Gu Ye didn't realize that something was wrong with Tao Zhuo until the tip of the pen didn't get any ink.

"what happened to you?"

Tao Zhuo raised his head, and Gu Ye's face was slightly blurred in front of him.He blinked his almond eyes hard, and replied unresponsively, "Oh, I'm fine."

Speech has already shown that nasal congestion is heavy.

Seeing that Tao Zhuo's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were dull and dull, and the corners of his lips were chapped and white, Gu Ye hurriedly put down the Langhao brush in his hand, folded his sleeves and raised the back of his hand to stick to Tao Zhuo's forehead.

Gu Ye was startled by the hot temperature transmission.

"My lord." Tao Zhuo said with a hoarse voice, "I seem to be suffering from a bit of wind and cold, let me go back and rest for a night, and come back tomorrow to take care of me."

The soles of his feet fluttered and he turned around to go out, but suddenly his body flew into the air, and Tao Zhuo, who was startled, hurriedly hooked Gu Ye's neck.The cheek accidentally touched Gu Ye's chin, and the beard stubble rubbed against the skin, causing a numb itching.

A blush spread from Tao Zhuo's ears, and he struggled lightly, "My lord, let me down, the wind and cold will be contagious."
