Chapter 569 Master and Servant
At this moment, the Grand Princess of Jin’s residence.
Jia Yao gently picked up the silver pot on the table and poured warm rose dew into the giltsilver begonia marigold, the sound of the flower dew entering the marigold seemed particularly silent against the backdrop of the whirling winter rain outside the window.
The north wind rolled through the court, lifting up a snowy mist, and the obviously warm springlike interior was flooded with a chill for no apparent reason.
She suddenly heard the sound of a rustling of the Chinese tent, and busily set aside the silver pot that had only been halfpoured, turning to check just in time to see the palefaced Grand Princess of Jin rising tremblingly to her feet.
“Is Your Highness thirsty?” Jia Yao took three steps to the edge of the couch and held the master, on one side taking a hidden bag from the side and padding it behind the Grand Princess so that she could lean more comfortably, and on the other side she said with concern, “You sit down, and the slave girl will bring you the flower dew over here!”
“This flower dew is a little too sweet, next time or change the heavenly fragrance Bi dew!” The Grand Princess of Jin took the giltsilver Begonia Marigold, took a shallow sip, immediately furrowed her brows, handed it back to Jia Yao with some boredom, and said in a weak voice, “Will there be anyone else in the mansion at this time?”
Jia Yao took the silver calabash and put it back on the table, first saying, “The slave girl will ask them to heat up Tian Xiang Bi Lu for you!”
Quickly walked to the door, from the small maids waiting outside to pick a smart, whispered a few words of command, then covered the door, back to the couch, to the eldest princess tucked the corner of the quilt, only then whispered, “In the morning, the marquis because he received the marquis side of the news, that is, the Su family, the second son of the Marquis of Yan last night to visit in person! The Marquis was here, Grandma Song had already gone to bed, and had no choice but to get up to receive I don’t know what the second son of the Su family said to Grandma Song, but Grandma Song seemed to be very worried, and early in the morning she asked someone to send a letter over the wall, so the Marquis couldn’t rest assured that he would go back to take a look, and then come back to wait for you! ”
“Just now, when the county princess, uncle, and second madam heard that you were still asleep, they went back to the house first to take care of a few household matters, and picked up a few sets of change of clothes along the way.”
“Think they should all be back in a little while?”
Jia Yao considered the wording and said, “Does Your Highness have something to say to them? Then will the slave girl send someone to urge them?”
“I these two days although because often can’t sleep, the eunuch called in the medicine to add a tranquilizer, but it is not stupid.” Grand Princess of Jin quietly listened to her words, Fang faint voice said, “last night the direction of the palace so big commotion, really think I am deaf to hear? This morning the children returned to the house one after another, must be the imperial capital has a big event, they can not rest assured that the heir, this is to hurry back to take care of it?”
Jia Yao compensation smile, “Last night the palace did make a mess, but your highness rest assured, nothing big … marquis they will come over as soon as possible!”
The reason why she made a big circle to answer the words of the Grand Princess of Jin, it is afraid that the Grand Princess of Jin knows that after the change of the Palace, the children and nephews who originally served under the knee all left, each returned to their own families, leaving the elders who have not yet recovered from the disease in the couch although it is a reasonable thing, but from the point of view of the Grand Princess of Jin who is bedridden, inevitably, you have to feel the heart chills! The
And this illness of the Grand Princess was originally caused by excessive grief, and then by such a stimulus, is it not adding insult to injury?
“Who is in charge of the city now? Wei family or Su family?” It is good that the Grand Princess of Jin’s face did not show the color of loss, only frowned and asked, “How is A Xu’s side … now?”
“It was the Su family that won.” Jia Yao already knew about the siege of the imperial capital, but because the Grand Princess was now asking about the Marquis of Yan, she felt that it would be better not to tell her master the news, lest her master would have to worry about the Jian Xubai family when she found out, so she only avoided the issue by saying, “However, because His Highness, the King of Su, is the late Emperor’s personal successor, he has not yet formally ascended to the throne.”
The Grand Princess of Jin stared at the tent embroidered with the Blessed Longevity Continuous pattern for a moment, but did not take the words, but sighed, some worried and some melancholy said ”I don’t know how young Rui is now in the Zhanshun Hall? Before betting on the A Xu couple hard to send her out, at the moment, although able to avoid this storm … but the year is about to come, this child is a lonely person, in the occupation of the spring museum to stay, want to also sad especially she is still pregnant with the body! ”
Thinking of Pei You Rui’s pregnancy, the Grand Princess of Jin only thought of her soninlaw as an afterthought, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and ask, “Since the Su family won, what about He Lou Duhan? I remember before Empress Wei in order to ask the real culprit behind the scenes, also in order to torture He Lou Duhan out of anger, seems to be ordered to hang his life to prevent death? So is he dead or alive now?”
Jia Yao froze and busily said, “The slave girl will go and inquire!”
The words are so, in fact, Jia Yao heart feel that He Lou Duhan now even if not dead, it is estimated that the person is also wasted the point is, when Pei Yourui married him, married is the favorite disciple of the prime minister of the current dynasty, the first grandson, rather than Fu Feng Tang dark son!
Even if He Lou Duhan can return to normal, how can there not be a gap between the couple?
“The empress only got the crown prince a flesh and blood often in the knee, the crown prince was assassinated, even if you know that the He Lou Duhan is not the mastermind, but also inevitably will not be soft!” Not only Jia Yao so worried, Jin Guo Grand Princess also quickly thought of this point, called out to stop is about to go out to send a message of beloved, murmured, “I estimate that He Lou Duhan even if still alive, I’m afraid to lose most of the life!”
Eyes sank, the eldest princess face expressionless said, “you go to inquire well, if he lives, but disabled waste, or destroyed appearance and so … then with the Su family said, they pit young Rui already pit hard enough, should close a hand! If he is not, also let the Su family give young Rui an explanation!”
The meaning of these words is obviously that if He Lou Duhan is alive but crippled or disfigured, let the Su family simply send him on his way, so as not to drag Pei You Rui down in the future; and if He Lou Duhan is dead, then let the Su family give Pei You Rui compensation.
Jia Yao promised to go down to do this thing, do not want to walk to the door, the eldest princess suddenly said, “Wait!”
She was busy turning back, but she saw the Grand Princess, who was leaning on the cryptic capsule, her face changed, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, seemingly immersed in memories of the past after a long time, the Grand Princess’s expression finally returned to sullenness, but said, “Forget it, young Rui’s soninlaw, it’s better to let her make her own decisions!”
“Then slave girl go get you a bowl of porridge?” Jia Yao did not know why the master suddenly changed his mind, but she could see that the eldest princess did not want to be asked this question, so she did not talk too much, and after answering tamely, she said with concern, “You did not use anything from yesterday until now! Don’t starve, later the marquis they came over, know you are awake, want to accompany you to talk, see you have no spirit, but do not dare to disturb for too long.”
The reason why she specifically mentioned Jian Xubai, naturally because she felt that the Grand Princess of Jin in the past two days, seems to be most concerned about is Jian Xubai and Pei You Rui to say a little strange, these two people have been passed on, there is also a soothing is not at all the Grand Princess of Jin’s own.
The Grand Princess is now not to say that time is running out, the physical condition is not very optimistic, according to the most should be the time of true love, Qingjiang County Princess and Shouchun uncle may be because of the age of too long, not as young as the younger younger siblings under the favor, but Nie Maixue cherry, that just look at the appearance of the youngest daughter know that must be the Grand Princess of the biological flesh and blood, is now also the King of the Su ceremonial escort, wandering on the way back to the imperial capital! Even if the Su Family wins in the city now, if she can’t withstand the attack outside the city, Nie Maizuo Cherry’s future isn’t easy to say.
A few years ago, the Grand Princess had been furious over Nie Maizuo Cherry’s departure from home, but now how come she didn’t even mention this daughter? Could it be because Nie Maizuo Cherry has been away from the Grand Princess for several years since she joined King Su as a vassal?
However, when Jian Xu Bai was detained by Wuhuan before, he was also clearly separated from the Grand Princess for six years and when he finally returned, the Grand Princess could be said to have wept with joy!
Jia Yao muttered in her heart, but on her mouth, she said mildly, “Rouge porridge, with a few small dishes, and then ask someone to cook a pot of red date tea, what do you think? Red dates warm the stomach, and drinking it during this season will nourish you.”
“I don’t want to use anything right now!” Jia Yao said as she was already planning to go outside to order someone, but the Grand Princess of Jin shook her head and said, “You go and open the window over there and tell me to take a look outside I hear the sound, like it’s raining? It’s been snowing for the past two days, it’s rare that it would even rain!”
“Your Highness, where can you blow the wind this time?” Jia Yao sniffed, but did not move, but said disapprovingly, “The Imperial Doctor’s new prescription is very effective, you’ve eaten it for the past two days, and your complexion is already much better. This is a critical time, you can’t afford to be tossed around!”
He also half coaxed and half persuaded, “Besides, what is there to see in this winter rain? When you get better in a couple days, it may still rain! At that time, the slave girl will accompany you to the corridor to see enough, okay?”
However, the Grand Princess of Jin only looked at the window and faintly said, “Hurry up and go!”
Her tone was not harsh, and she did not see much irritation or displeasure between her looks, but Jia Yao knew her temperament the Grand Princess at this time of the year, on the contrary, hated it when others went against her wishes.
Even if it is a beloved, Jia Yao does not dare to spoil her mood at this time, can only take a piece of fox fur from the side, give the eldest princess a tight cover, which reluctantly went over to open the window.
The window was open to the west, and outside, instead of a cloister, was a small garden, so capped at this season that it was impossible to see what had been planted.
Instead, there was a row of ice cream under the eaves of the window, which shimmered in seven colors in the light of day.
The window had only just opened, and the cold wind pounced in with ice chips.
Because she was in the room, Jia Yao, who was only wearing a jacket, couldn’t help but shiver, and subconsciously tried to close the window slit a little smaller but behind her came the flat voice of the Grand Princess of the Jin Kingdom soon afterward, “Open it wider, I want to see the rain outside.”
“Your Highness, this rain is too cold!” Although Jia Yao feared the master of the moment, but in the end she was worried about the body of the Grand Princess, she turned around with the window halfcovered, and said worriedly, “If you look at it for a short while, the slave girl will close it up, okay?”
But the Grand Princess of Jin ignored her and only stared blankly out the window at the curtain of rain.
Perhaps sensing that those secrets can no longer be hidden, the Grand Princess suddenly remembered many years ago is also such a winter, is also such a few days after the snow suddenly started to rain the day perhaps it is the cause of the scene, so far in the room of the earth dragon bear recall, still feel that the rain is cold to the bone.
The Grand Princess of Jin, who had just watched her infant son being carried away by his motherinlaw, wandered out of her mansion and walked towards the street in a trance.
She really wanted to die that day.
