[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

They were supposed to go back to their rooms, but Wang Shuo refused to go back to his room on the pretext of being scared, so Princess Fuhui dragged them back to his bedroom.Wang Shuo wanted to talk to Princess Fuhui about what was wrong with the King of Zhongshan, but seeing his mother gasping for air between her words, she swallowed the words again.

"Mother has been busy all night, let's take a rest." Wang Shuo helped the princess remove the hair ornament and prepared to go to bed.

"Well, you're scared. I'm going to sleep with my mother today." The princess looked at the little girl who was pretending to be calm in front of her, and she felt pity in her heart. They adults would panic when encountering such a thing, let alone a little girl like Wang Shuo. girl.

The mother and daughter comforted each other for a long time before lying down. Wang Shuo sighed heavily when he saw the princess lying on the pillow, and then closed his eyes. Unexpectedly, after she fell asleep, the princess got up and touched her forehead again. , Make sure you don’t get a fever and insomnia from being frightened before falling asleep again.

It was already afternoon when Wang Shuo woke up, and he called someone to wash up before going out to ask, only then did he know that they were ready to set off again.

Wang Shuo trotted into the house, and only the princess was in the hall to deal with the servants' questions. Wang Shuo snuggled up beside the princess and asked in a low voice, "Mother, are we leaving now?"

"Yes, don't be afraid, in the future, I won't come again." The princess patted Wang Shuo's hand to comfort him.

"Then find out how the fire started?"

"The servants at the post station are ignorant. They started a fire and cooked supper in the room at night, which set the house ablaze. When they saw the incident, they refused to admit it. Now they have been punished." The princess simply explained a few words.

Wang Shuo curled his lips when he heard this, even a seven-year-old girl wouldn't be able to fool her. How many years are the servants at the post station who are familiar with this kind of low-level mistakes, especially when there are noble people staying?It must be the king of Zhongshan who forcibly dumped the blame, and Wang Shuo's impression of that hypocrite was even worse.

"Mom, why don't we rest more? Daddy didn't close his eyes all night." Wang Shuo secretly wanted to find out more about the truth.

"No way, this small place is short of doctors and medicines. Princess Qinghe was so frightened that she had a fever. She drank several pieces of Pearl Poria Cocos Dingjing Soup, but she would still be awakened by nightmares after sleeping. Let's set off quickly, the next stop is Jinling is here, and there are good doctors in Jinling." The princess explained to Wang Shuo in a simple way.

When Wang Shuo heard this, he was shocked and said, "Sister Qinghe is ill, I have to go and see her."

"Go, be careful, don't disturb others." The princess urged.

When Wang Shuo ran away like a gust of wind, Madam Liu called out hesitantly: "Princess..."

"Nurse, don't talk about it." The princess waved her hand. Although she discussed with Aunt Kong to teach her daughter more and not stick to the inner house, she was terrified when she heard what happened this time. The child has poor concentration. The princess didn't want to scare Wang Shuo.

"The Qinghe Princess..." Liu Nanny still didn't give up, but the princess turned her head and gave Liu Nanny a look. The princess's eyes signaled that the hall is not hidden in all directions, and Liu Nanny also knew that this is not a place to talk. Shut up bitterly.

Wang Shuo trotted all the way to Princess Qinghe's room, tried to catch his breath at the door, and Princess Qinghe's personal servant girl came out to greet him after a while.Wang Shuo asked softly, "Is sister Qinghe better?"

"Girl, you don't have to speak so softly, the Princess is not asleep yet," said the big servant girl.

Turning around the screen, Princess Qinghe was half lying on the bed, reading a book.

Wang Shuo snatched the book and said, "Sister Qinghe, you should rest first, what are you still reading now!"

Princess Qinghe's face was pale, even the color of her lips became paler, her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and her eye sockets were blue, one could tell that she hadn't rested well.Princess Qinghe pointed to the book and said, "I can't sleep, but I can still be hypnotized with a boring book. Didn't you teach me this?"

Wang Shuo looked back, and it turned out to be a "Book of Rites". He put down the book with a smirk, and asked with concern, "Is my sister better? If there is anything inconvenient for you to talk to your mother, just tell me, and I will pass it on." Wang Shuo I was afraid that my little sister would be too polite due to the rules, and Wang Shuo could see that Princess Qinghe and Princess Fuhui were not close.

"It's okay, I see bloodshot eyes in your eyes, you must have not slept well, go back and catch up on sleep, I'm fine here." Princess Qinghe emphasized several times that she was fine.

Wang Shuo also realized that he was disturbing people's sleep here, so he left without hesitation, and comforted him: "Sister Qinghe, take a close look first, mother is already packing up, let's get on the boat first, and we will arrive at Jinling tomorrow, then we will go back to Jinling later." Ask a good doctor and sister to take a look."

The big maid sent Wang Shuo out, smiled and watched Wang Shuo go away, and then went back to the house to report to Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe threw the "Book of Rites" aside, and said, "You can sleep now."

The big maid waited for her to lie down.

At the time of departure, King Zhongshan stood at the gate of the post station, watching the four members of the Wang family and Princess Qinghe go away.

Princess Qinghe was not in danger, so she rode alone in the carriage; Wang Shouzhong's family of four sat in Princess Fuhui's carriage. Wang Shuo saw that the atmosphere between Wang Shuozhong and the princess was a little stiff, and asked for no reason: "Father, mother, Zhongshan?" Won't the king go with us?"

The Princess patted Wang Shuo's head and said, "Zhongshan Wang Renhou, wait until the matter of the station is settled before leaving." After a pause, he added, "He is on a different path from us."

"Oh." What happened during the half day she was asleep?Wang Shuo wondered why everyone was behaving strangely. She wanted to tell his mother about King Zhongshan's anomaly, but seeing the atmosphere in the carriage, it was not suitable for talking about serious topics, so she simply entertained her relatives in colorful clothes and talked about the journey along the way. What I have seen and heard, and my own good mood.Wang Ziteng also cooperated tacitly, and the family finally talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Why was the atmosphere tense between Wang Shouzhong and Princess Fuhui? A quarrel broke out before they left the station.

"What's the matter with Qinghe, this stall actually sent someone to investigate the cause of the fire, what did she know?" There were only the princess and Wang Shouzhong in the bedroom, and the princess asked straight to the point.

"Who knows? It is said that Prince Cheng's daughter is in an embarrassing situation. I think Prince Cheng has left some capital for orphans and widows, otherwise how can he save his life?" Wang Shuozhong wrote lightly.

"Even if it is the contacts left by Uncle Cheng, I have to find out. We are going to Guangdong. If Qinghe takes chicken feathers as an arrow..."

"Don't worry, a boudoir daughter's family needs us to escort her back to Guangdong, what big waves can be caused." Wang Shouzhong stroked his short beard.

"Why not? Qinghe has deep thoughts. If it wasn't for Shuo'er's disadvantage and being taught a lesson, how could I rest assured of their relationship. This is still under my nose. I really shouldn't have agreed to bring her together in the first place! The princess was still complaining, but when she suddenly saw Wang Shouzhong sitting motionless like a mountain, she became suspicious and said, "Why are you not in a hurry to complain at all, you don't know what you didn't tell me, do you?"

"What are you talking about? I know what." Wang Shouzhong said angrily, "I just took a nap all day and night after being tired, so I can't be distracted~"

"Why are you so angry, don't be guilty." The princess looked Wang Shouzhong up and down, and said, "Every time you tell me to panic, you put your hands behind your back. When I don't see it, tell me quickly, what are you hiding from me?" Is it related to Qinghe, or is it related to King Zhongshan?"

Both of these two are close relatives of the princess, and the princess is worried if they don't know.

"It's all right..."

"Make it up, make it up again!" The princess rolled her eyes and didn't believe a word.

"The king of Zhongshan and us just met by chance, and he won't go to Guangdong. We will be separated when we meet here. By the time we return to the capital, he will have married a wife and had children and returned to the fiefdom. I don't know what the relationship is." Wang Shouzhong said earnestly. road.

"So, you really know." The princess nodded heavily.

"Hey, you said you, you insisted on breaking the casserole and asking the end, come here with your ear, and I'll tell you." Wang Shouzhong was forced to have no choice by the princess, so he whispered to the princess.

"What? He actually has connections with pirates!" The princess turned pale with shock, "That's a pirate, he's going to die!"

"Shut up! Hush!" Wang Shouzhong said anxiously, "You think King Zhongshan himself was willing to get involved, and that's His Majesty's intention! King Cheng died because of colluding with pirates. Can people not learn a lesson later?"

"Nonsense, how could this be so, Your Majesty. Those pirates are bandits from all over the world in name, and it is the fishermen who can't survive that occupy the island as bandits. In fact, who doesn't know that they are the non-staffed naval forces of various countries at sea. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to send the naval forces to the island?" What should you do? It must not be a coincidence to meet here!" The princess reflexively made a conspiracy theory, a small navy involved all the existing royal families, how could she Can you not be surprised.

"King Zhongshan really won't go to Guangdong. He is on official business. Think about it. Among the princes in this generation, he is the only one who can be crowned king! His Majesty naturally favors him!"

"He's not a prince!" The princess retorted, the King Zhongshan's status is embarrassing, if he is very important to His Majesty, then he must be deeply thoughtful, if His Majesty is using his own live signboard as a cover, then he must be thinking deeply. Small.

"Hey, that's what it means, as long as you know he's harmless to us, don't worry about it." Wang Shouzhong tried to persuade him again.

"No, tell me first how you concluded that he was on a mission by order, have you seen the imperial order?" the princess asked.

"Since it's a secret decree, how can I see it? What King Zhongshan showed was a token from the palace."

"He lived in the palace originally, and he has a token..."

"It's the secret agent's token, Tianzihao." Wang Shouzhong added it calmly.

"He took the spy token? Your Majesty trusts him so much?" The princess felt incredible, "No, I have to go and see for myself."

Wang Shouzhong grabbed the princess and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it clear that you don't trust King Zhongshan? King Zhongshan asked me to keep it secret when he showed the token, and don't tell my family. You are not demolishing me."

"The matter is very important! You and I are one, how can I not know? Qinghe's change is because I know something? I must ask the King of Zhongshan to find out." The Lord does not believe that His Majesty will give the token of Tianzihao to King Zhongshan.

"It's not that you don't believe in Zhongshan King, you don't believe in me, right? It's all a man's business, so don't meddle in it!" Wang Shouzhong was tired and anxious, and said without choice.

"Okay, I'm finally telling the truth. Now I'm busy with my own business. Why didn't you say that when I was in the north!" The princess really had enough of going forward instead of backward!

The two had no chance to reconcile after their quarrel, and then the family set off on the road, which is why the atmosphere in the carriage was so awkward.
