Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Chapter 12 The Maid Reads and Tries Repeatedly

At this time, Na Youqing couldn't hear what the three people in the court were saying, but seeing Wan Zhao and Bi Xinliu getting along very well, she was so envious in her heart, she just watched in ecstasy.Han Tan saw that Youqing had been peeking at Bixin, and it was not easy to go forward, and now Bixin and Liufu were talking and playing, and they didn't care about it, Youqing's eyes were dark, holding the silk and holding the flower, not knowing what to do .

Only then did Han Tan go forward to salute, raised his head and said softly: "Miss Liu is safe for a long time?" Youqing hurriedly returned the salute, but couldn't remember who Han Tan was at the moment, and just looked at him without answering.Han Tan said: "Back then, the lady in Liu's residence was the one who suggested something, so Xiaosheng is what he is today."

It turned out that the Han family had some contacts with the Liu family. Before Han Tan entered the palace, he had visited the Liu residence several times. He had always admired Youqing's talent and appearance but never said anything about it.At that time, Youqing once said that a man should focus on writing and economics to make a difference.In order to agree with this, Han Tan begged his parents to enter the palace to accompany the princes to study, and he will have a good future in the future. Although his parents were reluctant, they were pleased to see Han Tan so determined and ambitious, so they allowed him.After Han Tan entered the palace, he worked hard to study, and he was doing good to Master Liu. He hoped that he would be favored by a beautiful woman one day, but he didn't expect so many accidents.

Only then did Youqing think of Han Tan and hurriedly said: "Brother Han still remembers, I just said it casually."

Han Tan was overjoyed to see that Youqing still called him "brother" as before, and hurriedly said: "Liu Qimei's words are golden words, Xiaosheng will never forget them."

Youqing blushed half of his face when he heard this, covered it with a silk cloth, smiled slightly, and then raised his eyes to look at Han Tan carefully.Han Tan is more suave and gentle than when he was young, and he heard his father praise him at home as a talent that can be created, and he was very happy, so he chatted with Han Tan.

Bi Xin has been paying attention to the movement over there, and he is relieved to see that Youqing no longer looks at him.Wan Zhao looked at it sincerely and said: "The eldest prince seems to be a little restrained towards Miss Liu." She glanced at him and said: "Miss Liu is both talented and beautiful, and she is also virtuous and virtuous. Doesn't the eldest prince look down on her?"

Bi Xin shook his head and sighed: "What do you do with a good wife? You will be locked up all day, but it's not boring."

Wan Zhao said, "Who wouldn't a man not marry? It's just a matter of time."

He saw that he was no longer an outsider, so he said something from his heart: "Then you have to choose carefully, really see that you can afford things, how can you decide for a lifetime after only meeting a few times?"

Wan Zhao tentatively said again: "Since ancient times, major marriages have been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even if you don't marry the main concubine at this time, it is hard to guarantee that you will not have a few side concubines."

Bi Xin waved his hand and said, "A concubine is just a servant, how can he compare with his wife's room? It's better to get rid of her as soon as possible." After hearing this, Wan Zhao's thoughts changed.

"Brother marrying a wife doesn't count, but does he still want to take a concubine?" Liu Fu looked a little puzzled.

"Okay, Fuer, don't talk about it anymore, please forgive me." Bi Xin put his arms around Liufu's shoulder and lightly bumped his head on his shoulder, helplessly said

Liu Fu wasn't really in a hurry with him, he also wanted to help him, but he couldn't think of a way for a while, so he said: "Han Tanyuan and Miss Liu are old acquaintances, why don't you ask him what he can do for a while."

Wanzhao understood that Liufu wanted to help him, if he helped them, he would not only pay the queen's job, but also not miss his friendship with them.Wanzhao watched Han Tan and Youqing talking, and his thoughts moved.

She said: "I see that Han Shidu and Ms. Liu are very compatible in appearance and have a good relationship. It is not as good as an adult, and it is beneficial to everyone."

He thought it was good again, but he said again: "But the father, the queen, and the queen like Miss Liu, how can others get it?"

Wan Zhao said: "If the hatchback is interested, it won't fail, let's try."

Qingyang caught a lot of butterflies, but seeing that no one came to see them, he felt that it was really boring, so he lost his net pole and went into the pavilion to look for the other three.Qingyang wiped the sweat from his brow, sat in the middle of each other, and asked with a smile what they were talking about.

Liu Fu told her that he was worried about getting married.Qing Yang seemed puzzled and said: "Brother, do you think you have wronged Sister Qing like this? What's so difficult about it, after Ming'er asks his mother, he will serve as a princess and princess."

Liu Fu burst out laughing, pretending to be serious on purpose, and said: "That will have to be paid for by Miss Liu, the prince's concubine, so your elder brother can feel at ease."

Qing Yang blinked and said, "I see it will be sooner or later."

With embarrassment, his neck turned red and he said: "Don't listen to his nonsense to coax you, I don't want to marry Miss Liu!"

Qing Yang tilted his head and said: "Brother doesn't like Sister Qing, so what do you like?" Then he said: "Brother said that Sister Zhao is good?"

Wan Zhao pretended not to hear, and turned to look at the fish in the pond.

"You girl." Bi Xin was not annoyed, just shook his head.

Qing Yang stuck out his tongue and said: "I know, I have to match you with my second elder brother, so that I can fulfill your wish!"

Hearing this, Bi Xin just covered his face and smiled, and didn't refute her.

But Liu Fu couldn't sit still and said "Oops", pointed Qingyang's head with his finger, and said angrily, "I should feed you to caterpillars, let's see if you still say such nonsense!"

He patted her again and said, "You don't talk about her, so why are you having fun?"

"She only said that she matched me with you, but she never said that she matched you with me. Why should I be annoyed? You just used words to arrange me, and of course someone used words to arrange you. This is called tit for tat .” Bi Xin suppressed a smile.

"I don't care about you guys!" Liu Fu hurriedly said, blushing with embarrassment.

"It's because I was confused and confused, my good brother, don't be upset." Bi Xin hurriedly got up and bowed. .

"Let him be spared." Qing Yang also pulled Liu Fu with a smile.

Liu Fu scratched Qing Yang's nose and said: "It's not that you are talking nonsense, don't allow it anymore." Then everyone just laughed.

Since then, the queen has arranged for Youqing to study with Qingyang, and sometimes ask Bi Xinliufu to write and read together after noon, or let Youqing watch Bi Xinliufu practice martial arts in the martial arts field. Bi Xin and Youqing spend a lot of time together, but don't let him be alone, and secretly send Wan Zhao to accompany him, so that no trouble can happen.

Naturally, he had one thought in mind, after hearing what Wanzhao said, every time he went to see Youqing, he would bring Han Tan with him, and let the two of them talk more and hide themselves as little as possible.

Youqing has been in the deep boudoir for a long time, and she seldom interacts with the outside world, but she is a stubborn girl with a conservative mind.The better Han Tan treats her, the harder it is for her to shirk her, and she is actually tempted by him after coming and going, and she is embarrassed to say anything, but she believes in him in her heart.The two of them felt it was difficult to speak, their faces flushed with embarrassment as soon as their eyes touched, thinking about the future would be both sad.

One day Wanzhao saw Qingyang, and turned the corner to see Youqing.After entering the room, Wanzhao smiled and went to grab Youqing's hand to talk.Youqing only swept his crescent eyebrows lightly, and wore a sandalwood-colored homely dress, his hair was braided and tied with a red ribbon, and there were several pieces of paper with poems written on it on the desk.

Wan Zhao smiled and said, "My sister is dressed so calmly and plainly today. This sandal-colored girl doesn't often wear it." Wan Zhao is a month older than You Qing, so she is called "Sister".

Youqing just nodded and said: "But in your own room, why bother to dress brightly to please others?"

"What do you say, my sister comes from a famous family, who wouldn't want to please you?" Wan Zhao smiled.

"Don't I know why they flatter me? Why don't they wait for me to climb a high branch, so I can take advantage of them." Youqing said with a sad face.

"Why do you say such frustrating words? After all, it's what the emperor and empress mean. Your Highness has no intentions." Wan Zhao was silent for a while.

"So he didn't want to either." Youqing's eyes lit up.

Wan Zhao looked at no one in the room before saying: "This is a royal matter, you and I don't want to spy on it, but I have some friendship with the two princes, so I only listened to a word or two." Getting closer Said: "The first prince's insecurity in the palace made the emperor uneasy, so he hastily wanted to point out the marriage so that he can study at ease, but why is the first prince willing to restrain himself? He is also in a hurry."

Youqing was dazed after hearing this.Wan Zhao took the poem on the case and read it, and it was: "Once I entered the Hou's gate, it was as deep as the sea, and from then on Xiao Lang was a passerby."

Wan Zhao sighed and put down the poem, "It's hard for you to think about it. Marriage cares most about being in love with each other, and it's also the two of you who are in love with each other. How can your highnesses not be moved?"

Youqing hurriedly pulled Wanzhao to ask what it meant.

Wan Zhao closed his eyes, and mournfully said: "Han Shidu begged to see His Highness the Second Highness yesterday, knelt down with tears in his eyes, and told you all his affection for you. Although the Second Prince was moved by his true feelings and wanted to help him, but really There is no way, and I don’t understand your intentions, so let me test you.”

Saying that, Wanzhao took out the silk around his waist, wiped away his tears, and sobbed softly, "Han Shi reads the most affectionate and righteous, how can I not feel it as a woman? I can also see a little bit of your intentions, but I don't know. You are willing to give up your position of honor for him."

Seeing that Youqing still didn't answer, Wanzhao said again: "He only said that he would want nothing for you, even if the emperor punished him, he would have to 'live in a different bed and die in the same hole with you.'"

Youqing had already burst into tears, biting her lips and trembling pale.

Wan Zhao stroked Youqing's hair-tied silk ribbon slowly, and said slowly, "Isn't the yellow color the color of lovesickness?"

Youqing couldn't bear it any longer, knelt in front of Wanzhao and said, "I will do anything for Han Lang, I just ask my sister to save me, I will never forget my great kindness in this life."

With a very helpless expression, Wan Zhao paused before saying, "It's not that there is no way, it's just that it's a bit dangerous, are you willing to give it a try?"

Youqing grabbed the corner of Wan Zhao's clothes and said firmly, "As long as I can be with Han Lang, I'm willing to do anything."

For a few days, there was a lot of discussion in the harem, no one knew why Miss Liu's family had caught the epidemic, some people said she was unlucky, some people were worried about the contagion of the disease, each had their own thoughts, and there were different opinions.

The queen went to the Zichen Palace to pay her respects, and the emperor sat cross-legged on the couch and said, "How come you are sick when you are so good, is it serious?"

The queen also said with a sad face: "Isn't it a coincidence? This time the disease is so fierce, maybe it was contracted outside the palace, and it happened after entering the palace. The imperial doctors said that this disease is contagious, and even the concubines can't see her. , I just don’t know how good it is.”

The emperor coughed twice, and said solemnly: "There is still a princess in the queen's palace, so we can't live in the same place, so let her have a private palace to recuperate her illness."

The queen nodded and said: "The concubine also thinks the same way, but I heard that Mrs. Liu was not eating well after entering the palace, and now she is crying when she goes home. I think it is because she misses her family even more when she is sick."

The emperor sighed deeply and said: "Then let her go out of the palace first, and don't let the palace get sick. It's just about marriage..."

The queen hurriedly said: "The concubine feels that it is most important for Mrs. Liu to recover from her illness at ease. Besides, Mrs. Liu is not yet ready, so it's okay to wait. When Mrs. Liu recovers from her illness, the emperor just wants to marry her. Isn't that more appropriate?" The emperor thought it was reasonable, so he agreed.

The three of them were very concerned about Youqing's condition, but she had the epidemic, and it was hard for everyone to stare at her, so they had to ask about Wanzhao's situation.Wanzhao only said that it was a bitter scheme, and that she bribed the imperial physician to fool her superiors, but in fact, Youqing had nothing serious to do, she just wanted to delay the wedding date.The three of them were relieved after hearing this.

In fact, Wanzhao took the medicine given by the queen and took it with Youqing, and then she would feel unwell, similar to the symptoms of epidemic disease.Wan Zhao kept the queen from knowing about Youqing's request to leave the palace, and only let the queen think that it was her drug that made Youqing fall ill, in order to prevent accidents from happening.Naturally, Wanzhao couldn't say that the queen gave the medicine, but coaxed Youqing to say that she secretly asked the imperial physician for the medicine to pretend to be ill.Both times were concealed, and this is the current situation.

Wan Zhao went back to her room, and hurriedly said to Qin Huan, "Did you find a way to get in?"

Qin Huan shook her head and said, "The Queen's Palace is busy with Mrs. Liu going out of the palace, but because of the epidemic, the precautions are very strict, and there is really no time to go in."

Wan Zhao frowned, and said worriedly, "Last time I took a sneak peek, and I've never seen anyone with such a horrifying complexion that turned a dark gray-blue color. The queen's medicine may not be that simple."

Qin Huan was also a little scared and said: "Using the empress' methods, maybe Liu's life will be killed. At that time, Miss...Miss will not be a scapegoat." Wan Zhao raised her hand to tell Qin Huan to stop talking, She wanted to lock her teeth, put her hands on her knees, and gradually tightened.

Two or three months passed, and Youqing wrote several letters to Han Tan one after another, only saying that he was well and that he did not want him to worry about it.But Wanzhao knew, how could Youqing be okay?She went to the empress many times to test her words, but the empress only said that it was a medicine for a fake illness, so that if she lingered on the sick bed, she would not die.The queen can't let her die, otherwise the emperor just made up his mind to change another person, and now this can just delay the marriage before the queen's person enters the palace.
