Princess [rebirth]

Chapter 78 The Prince

Shi Ji stepped into the wing room with bare feet, the room was quiet, she walked directly into the inner room, and saw a lady sitting on the soft couch in the inner room, Shi Ji walked quickly to the lady and knelt down, whispering Said: "My lady, Hu Jia Dalang is indeed here today."

The lady on the soft couch didn't make a sound, and Shi Ji didn't speak, she just waited patiently at the spot with her head bowed, and after an unknown amount of time, she heard the lady say: "That's very good, you must keep a close eye on Zhuo Rongyong, don't let him He ruined the master's affairs." The lady's voice was hoarse, and it sounded a little frightening in such a dark night.

"No, I'll save you, servant girl." The maidservant responded respectfully, and the lady waved her hand to signal that the maidservant could step back. When there was a scar, he quickly turned his gaze away, not daring to look any further.

After exiting the inner room, Shi Ji went into the bathroom on the side, hot water was already prepared in the bathroom, after Shi Ji took care of herself, she returned to the wing where Zhuo Rongyong slept.The servant girl who was guarding the door saw her and said in a low voice: "Just now the fragrant tea from Mrs. Cai's yard came, but was sent away by the servant girl."

"Well, well done." Shi Ji nodded, she had just finished bathing and changed into another clean dress, so she took out a small sachet from her sleeve and stuffed it into the maid's hand, and the maid weighed the incense The weight of the pouch, smiled in satisfaction, and then gently helped Shi Ji open the door.

Early the next morning, Shi Ji helped Zhuo Rongyong get up, after Zhuo Rongyong put on her clothes, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched Shi Ji's cheek, "I served you well last night, there is a reward, I will wash it up and wait for tonight. After hearing this, Shi Ji lowered her head shyly, but actually hid the disgust in her eyes.

After Zhuo Rongyong left, Shi Ji immediately turned cold. Every time after serving Zhuo Rongyong, no matter how late or tired she was, she would definitely take a bath after the other party was asleep, just to wash off If Zhuo Rongyong's taste and traces left on her body were not for helping the master and his wife achieve great things, she would not have to endure Zhuo Rongyong's touch. When the master's big things happen in the future, she would definitely make Zhuo Rongyong's life worse than death ! ...

In the main room of the Zhuo Mansion, Xiao Wanniang didn't sleep well all night. She sent Chun Ming to the west courtyard last night to have a look. Chun Ming said that Zhuo Lang had been arguing with the concubine all night, and she had just fallen asleep when she went. Xiao Wanniang felt depressed when she heard this, and at this moment, someone from the mansion came to report, and the Xiao manor handed over a greeting card asking to see his wife.

Xiao Wanniang hastily invited people in. Today is Mrs. Xiao. Ever since the Xiao family was reprimanded by the sage more than a year ago, Mrs. Xiao didn't come out very often. At that time, Xiao Liuniang was almost ill. , It took nearly a year to raise it and finally rescued it again.Xiao Wanniang felt very sorry for her family's catastrophe. Back then, she and Zhuo Lang thought that Xiao Liuniang's becoming a prince and concubine would be good for the Zhuo family, and Xiao Liuniang and the second sister were cousins, so they would definitely be happy. Pulling out the second sister, it's just that all these good wishes are gone.

Xiao Wanniang met Mrs. Xiao in the flower hall for guests. Mrs. Xiao had been worrying about her daughter for more than a year. At this time, she was no longer as energetic as when she first returned to the capital. Not only did she look haggard and yellow, but she also lost a lot of weight. Xiao Wanniang felt uncomfortable when she saw her. Madam Xiao also felt the kindness of Mrs. Xiao's concern for Xiao Liuniang. She often had trouble sleeping and eating because of her second sister, fearing that her second sister would suffer in Du's house.

It's just that she saw how ugly her sister-in-law's face was, so she said softly: "Sister-in-law, you have to take care of yourself. If you fall down, what will brother and Liu Niang do?" Now Xiao Dalang's wife must be in charge of Zhongfu in Xiao's residence, so Mrs. Xiao has to take good care of herself.

"Wanniang, I can't do anything, so I beg you with a face. Liuniang is your niece, and I want you to take care of her marriage." Mrs. Xiao endured her embarrassment, and begged my sister-in-law in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law is serious, what are you asking for? Liuniang is a daughter of the Xiao family. Are you afraid that she will not be able to marry? But now I am afraid that I will not be able to marry in the capital. If I look for someone outside the capital, I can still do it." Yes." Xiao Wanniang held Mrs. Xiao's hand and patted it lightly.

"Out of the capital..." Mrs. Xiao's face froze. She wanted to keep her daughter in the capital, so she came here to beg Xiao Wanniang. Liu Niang is running around, even if she can't marry into a high-ranking family, a lower-ranking family is also acceptable.Mrs. Xiao didn't even think about it. At the beginning, the imperial decree clearly stated that Xiao Liuniang was of bad conduct. As long as the people in the capital have a little face, how could they want a lady with bad conduct to be their wife?

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten, what was said in the imperial decree at the beginning, that anyone in the capital with a little background would not want Liu Niang, so don't blame me for speaking bluntly, I know what my sister-in-law means. Ask your husband to come forward to protect the matchmaker, but you don't even think about it, even those people who are forced to nod by the power of the Zhuo family will treat Liu Niang well in the future?" Xiao Wanniang rarely thought clearly and spoke a big reason.

Mrs. Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It's not that she hadn't thought about this possibility, but the idea of ​​letting her daughter marry well and well overwhelmed this hidden worry. She was indeed counting on the Zhuo family to come forward, but now Xiao Wanniang deliberately left her out. After pointing out the possibility, her heart felt cold for a while, she took out her handkerchief, and cried, "Wuwu... I don't understand what you said, but... But Liu Niang... Wow ——Liu Niang’s life is suffering..."

Xiao Wanniang frowned, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, if you don't listen carefully, Liu Niang will have today. In fact, the family has to bear most of the responsibility." Mrs. Xiao cried, and stared at her in surprise. Xiao Wanniang.

"If Liuniang hadn't been surrounded by that lowly servant girl who not only burned the wing room but also smashed the jade Zhang in the chaos, how could Liuniang be scolded by the saint? In the end, it was because of her own family's carelessness. Let people take advantage of it." Xiao Wanniang said mercilessly.In the final analysis, Mrs. Xiao did not run the house well, the maid who bought the house did not realize her ulterior motives, and she was too careless on the day of the ceremony, which led to this series of accidents.

Mrs. Xiao could also hear the meaning of Xiao Wanniang's words, her face turned pale and red immediately, and the A family punished her for these things afterwards, she was still a little bit unconvinced at the time, thinking that those maids were out of ideas, but now Being ridiculed by the sister-in-law she looked down on in the past made her feel even more ashamed.

The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became a little dull, and Mrs. Xiao stopped sobbing, but just looked at Xiao Wanniang in awe, while Xiao Wanniang was sitting upright, allowing Mrs. Xiao to look at her calmly and generously.After a while, Mrs. Xiao said softly: "I know that my sister thinks that Liu Niang deserves to be blamed. I also know that my sister has always disliked our mother and I. When I came to the door today, I had the consciousness of allowing my sister to humiliate me..."

"Stop, I don't like to hear sister-in-law's words. One size fits the other. I admit that you and I may have had some disagreements in the past, but I dare not admit that I was humiliating you just now. Could it be that sister-in-law doesn't think I Is there something wrong? Liuniang's wing was burned and Yuzhang was smashed. You, the head of the house, have no responsibility at all? If you point out the facts, you will be humiliated, then I have nothing to say." Xiao Wanniang interrupted aloud After hearing Mrs. Xiao's accusation, she said plausibly.

Mrs. Xiao did not expect Xiao Wanniang to say these words, she was a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it at all, she tightly held the embroidered handkerchief, and forced herself to say pleasantly: "It's me who wants to leave Come on, little girl, don't be angry, I can't escape being accused of poor discipline for what happened that day, if it's because of me that Liu Niang's life will be lost, how can I feel better as a mother?"

"You don't need to pay for Liuniang's life. Didn't I just say that if you can't find someone in the capital, you will go outside the capital to look for them. At worst, you will marry back to Jiangling. The Xiao family came from Jiangling. If Liuniang marries back to Jiangling, I'm not afraid that her husband's family will treat her slowly." Xiao Wanniang said lightly, after all, she, the elder sister-in-law, still wanted to keep Liu Niang in the capital, she sneered, her second sister could only marry Du What a good family Xiao Liuniang wants to marry?What a dream!

After all, the second sister did not get married well, and it was more or less caused by Xiao Liuniang. After the imperial decree was issued that day, not only the Xiao family's family was desolate, but the Zhuo family was also affected. They all disappeared immediately, and even if she sent a post, there was no follow-up, which really made her angry for a long time.She wanted to simply let the second sister enter the palace, but Zhuo Rongyong objected, and later the saint was ill in bed again, after delaying it again and again, the second sister's age could not be delayed.

Later, it was Zhuo Lang who lost his face and begged his colleagues in person to get the family of the Du family. Du Dalang was the Imperial Academy Jijiu, and his son Du Langjun was the Imperial Academy Secretary. After a while, he nodded and agreed to the marriage.

It's just that she didn't expect that Du Langjun, who is the secretary of the Imperial College, is actually a romantic temperament. He has a lot of concubines in private, not to mention confidante outside, which made the second sister often go back to Zhuo's house to complain No matter how much Xiao Wanniang loves her second sister, she can't go to Du's house to argue with the water thrown by the married daughter.Besides, the second sister was also at fault, she didn't serve her parents-in-law, so Xiao Wanniang couldn't argue with reason, as long as she mentioned "doting concubines and destroying wives", the Du family could block them with "disobedience and unfilial piety".

For the second sister, Xiao Wanniang, her heart was almost broken, and she felt a little resentful towards the Xiao family and Xiao Liuniang. If there were no mistakes in the Xiao family, her second sister would not be burdened by Xiao Liuniang. Dare to come to the door and let her talk about a good marriage for Xiao Liuniang.Xiao Wanniang sneered in her heart, her second sister couldn't get a good marriage, so why did Liu Niang want to surpass her second sister?What a beautiful idea, bah!

Mrs. Xiao also became annoyed when she saw that Xiao Wanniang didn't get in. The more they talked, the less speculative they became, and they almost started to quarrel. Well, it doesn’t mean that you can be beautiful forever. Besides, you should stay on the front line and meet you in the future. If you are so arrogant today, who will help you in the future? Do you want to count on the Xiao family? Tell you, as long as I am in charge, you don’t even think about it. Please go to the Xiao family!"

"Sister-in-law is still planning for Liu Niang. Don't worry, even if Zhuo's family loses, I will not beg for Xiao's family." Xiao Wanniang said coolly, and then served tea to the guests.

Mrs. Xiao was turned upside down by Xiao Wanniang's tone and attitude, and she didn't want to stay in Zhuo Mansion to be humiliated, so she left Zhuo Mansion angrily.After she left, Xiao Wanniang was still cursing, "Bah, curse the Zhuo family? Now the Xiao family is really unlucky, and Feng Shui takes turns? No matter how you turn around, it won't turn on you. I want to keep Xiao Liuniang in the capital, dreaming What about you!"...

******

The situation of the little prince is getting better day by day, Zhuo Jingfan is finally relieved, no matter what ideas Mu Xuan and Concubine Xian are planning, if something happens to the little prince, he can't please him, not just him, Even Dou Chun may be criticized, after all, the little prince is also the blood of the former emperor, if someone with good intentions blames the little prince's poisoning on the murdered brother, Doctor Yushi will be busy again.

Therefore, Zhuo Jingfan has been guarding the little prince's side almost day and night these days, taking care of the little prince himself. Whether it is food or medicine, whatever the little prince wants to import must go through multiple screenings, and he will taste it himself. Only if it passes, will it be fed to the little prince.

Zhuo Jingfan's deeds spread, and he gained a lot of good reputation for him. A while ago, there were vague rumors in the womb that the queen was going to harm the little prince, but his actions wiped it out. See how he pampers the little prince. That vigor is no worse than that of the eldest son of the emperor. If anyone dares to say that the poison of the little prince was poisoned by the queen, he is really blind.

There were still many memorials criticizing the empress in the court hall, but because the empress has personally guarded the little prince for a few days, the voices of the courtiers have gradually become quieter, the empress has tried the medicine for the little prince, what do you want the empress to do?The little prince was not his own, so it was rare to be able to do this.

After this day, Dou Chun returned to the Lizheng Hall. In the past few days, because of the poisoning of the little prince, he simply moved all the memorials to the Lizheng Hall, and accompanied Zhuo Jingfan to guard the little prince. If there is that humble person who wants to harm the little prince, it depends on whether he has the ability to break through the protection laid down by the saint and the queen.

Dou Chun came to the side hall of the Lizheng Hall, stopped the inner eunuch's transmission, left Lu Fu and others outside the hall, and walked into the side hall. As soon as he entered the side hall, he saw Zhuo Jingfan paralyzed on the soft couch He closed his eyes and meditated, with a haggard look on his face, he hurried forward and said softly, "Fanfan, thank you for your hard work."

"When did you come?" Zhuo Jingfan opened his eyes in surprise when he heard his voice, and Dou Chun said with a smile: "I just arrived, I told them not to communicate, lest you need to come to meet me."

"Thank you for your understanding, I'm really tired, I don't even want to put on a show in front of people." Zhuo Jingfan smiled, got up and moved in front of Dou Chun to give him a kiss.

"Is the situation of the little prince okay today?" Dou Chun sat down beside him, and said in a warm voice while hugging him.

"It's much better than yesterday, and the treatment was finally timely, but I'm afraid that my body will not get much better in the future." Zhuo Jingfan sighed, and then said: "Dou Chen's body is like this, and the little prince is like this now. In the future, ministers There is even an excuse for you to accept a lady, otherwise there will be no heirs, and the only eldest son of the emperor is weak and sick, how can he afford the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plans. Didn't Mu Xuan want me to adopt him? What's the matter if I really adopt one? Besides, Dou Chen's body is getting stronger and stronger. If possible, I still hope to make him the prince." Dou Chun said with a smile.

"That's right, he has taken the title of eldest son, and now he is raised under my name. He is the son of the eldest son. He is the son of the eldest son. It doesn't make sense for him to be the prince instead of the prince next to him." Zhuo Jingfan nodded and agreed. Dou Chun wanted to make Dou Chen the crown prince, but he paused, and continued with some hesitation: "It's just that Dou Chen is still young, so don't rush to make a decision. We both know it well, so we don't have to worry about it." Dou Chen became a target at a young age."

"Naturally, it depends on you. In fact, I didn't intend to establish a crown prince too early. I was killed at the beginning because the emperor leaked the word too early, and the queen mother is not worth anything. When I become the crown prince, I will become a target." Is it?" Dou Chun said with a wry smile, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Now that Dou Chen has us, he won't let him follow your old path. Are you still afraid that we won't be able to save another Dou Chen?" Zhuo Jingfan stretched out his hand to caress Dou Chun's cheek, comforting him in a warm voice.

"Well, if this Mu Xuan is not eliminated for a day, my heart will be restless for a day. Now the forces behind him have only found four or five points, and half of them are hidden too deeply. My patience is less and less every day. Day, always thinking of killing him." Dou Chunlai was beside Zhuo Jingfan, his tone was full of anger.

"Be patient. We are not in a hurry. They are the ones who are in a hurry. How old is Mu Xuan now? How many years does he have to spend? Now he feels that the arrangement is almost done, and he will do it sooner or later. We will wait for them to do it and catch them all in one go. Afterwards, you can rest easy." Zhuo Jingfan coaxed Dou Chun with a gentle tone, which made Dou Chun feel weak for a while.

"Fanfan, without you, what should I do alone..." Dou Chun held Zhuo Jingfan's face and said affectionately, lowering his head while talking, and when the words were finished, the two's lips were already on each other. Together, he gently rubbed Zhuo Jingfan's lips, and stretched out his tongue to lick the other's lip line.

Zhuo Jingfan raised his head slightly, closed his eyes to accept Dou Chun's tenderness, opened his lips slightly, and Dou Chun's tongue nimbly slipped into his mouth, hooked his lips and danced together, the two kissed and kissed inevitably moved , but now the sky is still bright, and the soft couch in the side hall is not comfortable enough, even if Dou Chun really wanted to do something, he was afraid that Zhuo Jingfan would suffer with his waist bent, so he restrained his impulse and reluctantly ended the kiss.

Zhuo Jingfan lost his mind after being kissed by him. After he left his lips, he gradually regained his senses. Seeing Dou Chun's forbearance, he understood, and at the same time, a wave of emotion rose in his heart. Tenderness, he leaned into the ear of the other party, and said a few words in detail, which made Dou Chun's eyes brighten up.

"Fanfan must keep his word." Dou Chun stuck to Zhuo Jingfan's side, rubbing his face against the other's tender cheek.

"Of course, you go and review the memorial, and I will fulfill my promise when night falls." Zhuo Jingfan said with a smile, not only Dou Chun thought, but he also thought about it, because the two had to take care of the poisoned little prince , It has been many days since the little prince's condition has stabilized, he doesn't have to stay by the other's bedside every night, it doesn't matter if he rewards Dou Chun once tonight.

Although he didn't have to take care of the little prince in the past, Dou Chen also took up a lot of his time. Sometimes Dou Chen couldn't sleep at night, so he would hug him to his bed and coax him personally. It was inevitable that he would ignore Dou Chun. So tonight can be regarded as his compensation, for the neglect Dou Chun has received in recent days.

Dou Chun received the letter of approval, so he went to review the memorial happily. He was in a better mood, and the memorial looked much more pleasing to the eye. Even the impeachment memorial of Doctor Yushi did not look so aggressive. He hummed a tune, The cinnabar brush in my hand was brushing very fast. ...

That night, Dou Chun turned Zhuo Jingfan over and over several times, until Zhuo Jingfan begged for mercy, Dou Chun just let him go, and when it was over, Zhuo Jingfan couldn't even move a finger. No more, Dou Chun personally carried him to the bathing pool, cleaned him up and down, inside and out, and then carried him back to the bed and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Dou Chun got up gently, without disturbing Zhuo Jingfan, Lu Fu led a group of palace people, quietly and quickly put on the court clothes for him, and the group took care of Dou Chun without making a sound , Dou Chun took one last look at Zhuo Jingfan, who was lying on the bed and sleeping, and then went up refreshed.

When Zhuo Jingfan woke up, it was already the end of the day, Fu Ling and Hu Po helped him get up and wash up, Zhuo Jingfan's waist and legs were still a little weak, and his expression was sleepy, Fu Ling and Hu Po hurriedly made people prepare meals, After serving Zhuo Jingfan's breakfast, Fu Ling said softly: "Master, you lie down on the soft couch and let the maid who knows massage do it for you?"

Zhuo Jingfan was naturally happy to have someone serve him, so he quickly lay down on the soft couch, and said to Fu Ling: "Quick, my waist is about to break, and my legs are also very weak, please pinch it for me."

Fu Ling and Hu Po hurriedly called the maids who were in charge of massaging Zhuo Jingfan on weekdays, let them clean their hands, and then began to massage Zhuo Jingfan's waist, which had suffered all night.The strength of the maids in the palace was moderate, and Zhuo Jingfan was very comfortable when they were pressed. As soon as he relaxed, Zhuo Jingfan just fell asleep like this.

Seeing that he was asleep, Fu Ling asked the maid who was doing massage to leave. She took a fan herself, sat on an embroidered stool beside her, and gently fanned Zhuo Jingfan while Hu Po led the other palace servants out of the bedroom. , so that the empress could have a good rest, but just as they left the dormitory, they saw the servant girl next to the little prince coming towards the dormitory with a panicked face.

Hupo's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly went up to meet her. When the maid saw her, she quickly squatted down, said a blessing, and then said in a panic: "Auntie, the little prince just vomited again, and the servant has sent someone to go Please ask the imperial physician, and ask the aunt to report to the empress."

"You wait here." The empress had previously instructed that the little prince should report immediately if there was any abnormality, so Hu Po didn't care whether the empress was asleep or not, so she went into the bedroom to report to the empress.
