After wearing white lotus princess

March and April are the busiest months in the capital. The peach blossoms are falling in pieces, revealing the pale yellow stamens, and a little yellow buds on the willow stick out and turn into fresh green.

As soon as you enter the capital, you will feel different from the bustling towns and villages along the way. The wind is sunny and the sky is clear. The children folded the tender willow branches to make whistles and played them, and kites of various colors were flying in the sky.

Ning Huan returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Chu He received a letter early in the morning and heard that Ning Huan was coming back, and when he looked up, he saw that the Crown Princess was still wearing heavy clothes.Ning Huan threw the moon-white brocade cloak on Chu He's body and walked in: "Let me prepare water."

Chu He still had a lot of things waiting to tell Ning Huan, but Ning Huan was so exhausted all the way that he didn't have the heart to listen to anything he had to say.

Die Qing was more surprised than Chu He. Die Qing and the others had no idea where Ning Huan had gone, and they really believed that Ning Huan was in Zhuangzi during this time.Die Qing stepped forward and said, "Miss, why are you wearing such heavy clothes? Is it cold in Zhuangzi?"

It gets hotter as you go south, but Ning Huan and his party didn't prepare light clothes, and they rarely encountered markets along the way. Even if they did meet Ning Huan, they definitely wouldn't buy such ugly clothes, so they could only bear it for a few days. up.

He didn't take a seat when he came in, and the surrounding furnishings were almost exactly the same as when he left.Calming incense was lit in the celadon porcelain incense burner, and the snow-white cat sat on the soft cushion and looked back when it heard a human voice.

Ning Huan only took a sip of tea by the window, and after the water was boiled, he took a shower and changed his clothes.

After he came out, his hair was half wet and not dry. Ning Huan was wearing a tea white singlet, and his slender figure was much taller than the maid who was following him. Chu He hurriedly followed: "Princess Concubine, the matter of Huimin Pharmacy Bureau and Tai Hospital was dealt with last month. Well, Wei Su and his younger brother Wei Jing were killed, and the Wei family was exiled. Last month, a newcomer was promoted to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites, but the position of envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital has been vacant. Recently, several genius doctors have entered the capital , one of the doctors is highly valued by His Majesty."

Ning Huan said casually: "I will rest for two days, come back the day after tomorrow evening..."

Chu He felt that the emperor was not in a hurry with the eunuch, so he said, "Do you want to find a way to meet this doctor? It's not easy to make an appointment with him."

Ning Huan took a sip of tea: "We'll talk about it the day after tomorrow, where's the bird's nest?"

Die Qing hurriedly said: "It's still stewing."

Ning Huan stretched out his hand, and Xueman immediately came over to let him touch his chin. This white civet cat was well taken care of, and it was smooth and slippery, not afraid of people at all.Seeing that Ning Huan would rather play with cats than take care of himself, Chu He couldn't help but pour out the rest of the matter: "Something happened in the Prince's Mansion, you are not in charge of the mansion, and the concubines in Qinfang Garden are fighting each other all day— —”

Ning Huan rubbed his eyebrows, he just wanted to find a needle to sew up Chu He's noisy mouth.

Ning Huan gave Die Qing a wink: "Kick him out, close the door of Lixue Hall, and open it in two days."

After eating a cup of bird's nest, Ning Huan went back to bed, exhausted both physically and mentally, almost falling asleep on the pillow, and didn't wake up much for two days.On the third morning, when the sky was bright, Ning Huan woke up when he heard some birds chirping outside.

When he looked in the mirror, he found that he was indeed a little thinner than before, because he looked a little sick because he slept for too long.

When I went out, I saw Xueman was having fun on the ground with a half-dead bird in its mouth. The bird could no longer fly. Just tore it and ate it.

Chu He was finally let in. When he came in, he was startled when he saw the cat eating the sparrow: "Could it have eaten your bird?"

"There are no birds here." Ning Huan looked up at the pear tree in the courtyard. These few days happened to be the flowering period of pear blossoms, and the snow-white petals were flourishing and eye-catching. "I didn't even raise parrots."

Most wealthy families in the capital like to keep parrots, especially those who can talk. They open their mouths to "Master" and shut their mouths to "Miss", which is very flattering.There are cats in Ninghuan, and cats are not suitable for keeping with birds, and they tend to kill birds.

Chu He said: "It's good to eat wild birds, but I'm afraid that what you eat is your precious birds. Recently, raising birds is very popular in the capital. Several businessmen from the Shu Kingdom brought a bird called Queen Mother with a tail It is very long and it flies beautifully, and its emerald feathers are shining, I heard that 1000 taels of silver can’t buy one.”

"Don't you know if there are birds here?" Ning Huan asked lightly, and then a few maidservants brought the ladder over and put it on the tree, "Which people spent 1000 taels of silver to buy birds?"

"That's a lot, Prince Xiao, His Highness Prince Rui, the sons who are often with Marquis Wu An, and Princess Eleven..." Chu He said everything he knew, "These people are all rich. If you have too much money, you will naturally spend it in the wrong place."

Ning Huan took the silver scissors from the maid, and he climbed the tree along the ladder.

Chu He opened his mouth wide to see, he had never seen a married woman climb a tree, and there were not many ladies who had not left the court climbed a tree.

The warm spring wind was not cold on the face, Ning Huan was wearing a sky-blue double-breasted blouse, a jade-colored skirt, narrow sleeves falling down to reveal a bright white wrist like a bright moon, he slowly cut a few pear blossoms and handed them to The stack of blue below.

Chu He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.It took a long time to sigh that the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital really has weight, and such ordinary clothes can also be worn with a feeling of overwhelming the country.

Ning Huan said: "Tell me about the condition of that miracle doctor."

The pear blossom branches fell off after being pulled, and some petals also fell on Ning Huan's shoulders. The sky blue against the snow-white branches was also very beautiful.

Chu He then detailed the origin of that divine doctor: "This man is not as greedy as Wei Su. Helping some common people in the countryside—”

Ning Huan was thoughtful: "Is it completely different now?"

"It is said that after the death of his parents, there were many conflicts in the family over the family property. His temperament changed a lot. He no longer wasted time in the countryside, but made friends with dignitaries."

Chu He explained to Ning Huan for nearly two quarters of an hour.

During this period, Ning Huan sat on the tree trunk all the time.Although this pear tree is not too tall, it is not too short either. Ordinary people would definitely feel uneasy sitting on the tree, especially sitting on such a thin branch.But Ning Huan listened to him without changing his face, and then stepped down the ladder.

He wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Okay, I see."

Chu He said earnestly: "What arrangements do you have?"

"There will be arrangements, and I will tell you later." Ning Huan handed the handkerchief to the maid beside him, "How is the northern region? Is there any latest news?"

A smile instantly appeared on Chu He's face, and he said with a smile: "I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and our Crown Prince won the battle and killed the army led by He Shubi. Everyone in the capital is discussing this thing."

The prince was born to the empress, no matter if it was the first emperor's child or the emperor's child, they are all legitimate princes, and no one has a more correct background than him.In the Daluo Dynasty, the eldest son inherited everything. This rule has been stable for hundreds of years and has never been shaken.Unless Mu Jinyu committed a heinous crime or died, the crown prince would fall to someone else.

Now that the prince has military merits, and it is a great achievement in expelling Fontaine, it is even more difficult for the emperor to shake the prince's position.

"Is the prince injured?"

"No injuries this time." Chu He was very happy, "The prince was probably only injured when he ambushed Fontaine's reinforcements. I heard someone explain the situation at that time in detail."

At that time, the cavalry of the Great Luo Dynasty detected where the Fontaine people were stationed, and secretly poisoned the water source used by the Fontaine people in the dead of night.The venom extracted from the red-bellied gnats is not very toxic after being diluted and cooked into rice. The amount is not enough to cause the death of a large number of strong Fontaine soldiers, but it is enough to make them have a large number of stomach troubles.

The military doctors who followed Mu Jinyu to the front were not aware of the toxicity and antidote of the red-bellied gnat, but the people of Fontaine who lived in such a land all year round knew it very well, but they never imagined that this poisonous insect would be refined into poisonous juice and thrown into the water , so I didn't think in this direction at all.

When everyone was suffering from abdominal pain, Mu Jinyu came back with the reorganized cavalry. Most of them couldn't even lift their weapons, let alone mount their horses. The poisoned sharp arrows pierced these people's bodies, and they Desperate to live but unable to find an antidote, the venom on the arrow is much thicker than the venom in the water, even the Fontaine soldiers who barely escaped had to wait for death to come.

When Fontaine went south a few months ago, these Fontaine soldiers robbed every Daluo people they saw. Countless innocent herdsmen in the northern border were killed and plundered by them. Countless villages were killed and even the land was destroyed. Dyed bright red, tens of thousands of people in Qiongzhou were trapped in the city as slaves and food, and died without dignity and pain.

The conflict between the two countries is not limited to the massacres in the past few months. Fontaine has robbed the people on the border of Daluo many times in these years.Therefore, these tens of thousands of Fontaine soldiers were massacred, and the whole Weimen Pass was covered with bones and blood. The Daluo soldiers who followed Mu Jinyu would only feel that the revenge was heartily avenged, and this is what Fontaine deserved.

The battle report spread to other states in the northern border, and the people were all excited.Many officials in the capital also greatly changed their views on the prince.

After hearing this, Ning Huan smiled slightly: "It's expected."

"His Royal Highness should be returning to the capital soon." Chu He rubbed his hands, "When His Highness stops hiding his strength and biding his time, the whole capital will feel fear."

Ning Huan looked at him with a smile: "I won't be back for a while, he wants to take down the Fontaine King City in one fell swoop, and completely wipe out them forever."

He Shubi is just the eldest prince of Fontaine, and these Fontaine soldiers are dead, and within a few decades they will prosper again and attack the Daluo Dynasty.Mu Jinyu wanted them to have no chance to attack again.

"Really? It's going to be a few more months."

Chu He was worried about Mu Jinyu's safety again.

Ning Huan found a clay pot to pack the pear blossoms. The pear blossoms only bloomed for a few days, and he put them in the pharmacy, which was also used as a study. There were desks and four treasures of the study beside the windows.

The atmosphere in the capital is different from other places. This is the most prosperous place in the entire Daluo Dynasty. Countless vendors do business here, and there are also many foreigners living in this place. People come and go here, and things that are popular in each time period are different.

Ning Huan was walking on the street these two days, and he saw many young men carrying a birdcage, and there were birds of different colors bouncing around in the birdcage.

He also joined in the fun and bought a golden cage, just a bare golden cage, without any decorations on the cage, and it was still a semi-finished product, the cage top hook and base were not finished.

Chu He squatted under the window to watch Ning Huan make this cage for a few days. Ning Huan said that he wanted to make a beautiful bird cage for birds, and there were many masters who made cages in Beijing. When these people brought them here, he thought that the master who had been making cages for decades was no more exquisite than Ning Huan.

Ning Huan asked for some ivory, red sandalwood, rhinoceros horn, glass, tortoise shell and various gemstones. He also brought a lot of jewelry when he got married. Carved and carved on the wood casually, and dismantled the huge pigeon blood stone on the phoenix crown without any distress, and even smashed a green jadeite bracelet. After several days without any good sleep, Chu He finally saw a beautiful and complicated jade bracelet. The golden cage that the Jade Emperor will not lose face in front of.

Because he used to be a prodigal and liked to play with some prodigals, Ning Huan naturally knew what would attract prodigals.

Although gold and gemstones are tacky and not as quiet and low-key as huanghuali or bamboo carvings, they are the easiest objects to show their status, because these prodigal sons like to carry them out to show off.Ning Huan is used to looking at good-looking things, he knows best how to match them with expensive but not vulgar ones.The ivory hook is carved with a lotus pattern, and the center of the flower is inlaid with several small jaspers and gemstones interlaced. The body of the cage is decorated with jewels.

Chu He said: "What kind of bird do you want to put in such an exquisite cage? Do you want to keep one too? Buy a queen mother and put it in?"

"I don't raise it." Ning Huan said, "This is for sale." If it is sold, the highest price wins.

Chu He said: "This is unique in the capital."

He also understood why Ning Huan did it by himself. If some well-known master cage makers were to do it, the master would easily make several identical ones. Rare.

Chu He was guessing what Ning Huan meant: "Who are you going to sell to? To His Royal Highness Prince Rui? Give him 1 taels of silver to cheat him hard?"

Ning Huan's eyes were bent, he painted gold on the sandalwood base, and put it aside after the last step: "We'll talk about it when the time comes, step back, I will write a letter to the crown prince."

He is back, and he should report his safety.

Ning Huan took an ink ingot and added water to grind it. After embellishing the pen, he wrote a letter explaining the status quo. He stopped writing when the page was almost full. The letter was signed by Ning Huan at the end and was put aside to dry.

Feeling bored for a while, Ning Huan took out another piece of letter paper. He inexplicably recalled the cold and desolate northern region, which was not a different world from the capital.The ink was not exhausted, and he wandered into the sky, but the pen in his hand did not stop. He wrote Mu Jinyu's name leisurely and casually. The three characters added up to 43 strokes. It was difficult to write, and I wrote a whole piece of paper in lower case without realizing it, and added Ning Huan as the signer at the end.

After the weather got hot, there were birds chirping outside, and the chirping made people upset.Ning Huan dozed off on the desk for a while and woke up to find that the letter was dry. He lazily folded the letter and put it in an envelope. The staff below sent the letter to the north.

......

After Mu Jinyu opened it, he glanced at the letter and saw that his name was all on it.

He was a little puzzled, although Ah Xi had been a eunuch since he was a child and had never had a relationship, but there was no one else around Mu Jinyu to ask questions.He couldn't help asking Axi: "What does the princess mean? He sent a piece of paper with Gu's name written all over it."

Ah Xi thought for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to flatter the other party with a few words: "The Crown Princess loves His Highness very much, and must miss His Highness, so I wrote your name and sent it here."

Mu Jinyu thought it made sense, and he suddenly wanted to cut a wound and get some blood to paint Ning Huan a peach blossom.
