Contract Prince

A ray of sunlight in the early morning quietly flows in the deep red wall courtyard of Houfu, hiding in the gaps between the plants and trees, casting mottled light and shadows on the bluestone slabs.

The first morning after the wedding was gentle and peaceful.However, Gu Yunjing's physical condition is not as good as Yang Yang's. He didn't sleep all night last night, so he will have a severe headache.I wanted to go to another room to catch up on sleep, but I thought I would go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors later, so I canceled this plan.

Xiao Muxue's situation is much better than Gu Yunjing's. Although she also stayed up all night, the original owner is in good health and her martial arts skills are not weak. In addition, President Xiao in the previous life was a workaholic, so staying up late has long been a habit.So she seemed to be in good spirits.

Xiao Muxue looked at Gu Yunjing's haggard face, out of concern from her partner: "Are you okay?"

Gu Yunjing supported his chin with one hand, lowered his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that my head hurts."

She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Muxue who was still wearing a wedding dress, and said: "I will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors later, Your Highness will wash and dress up first, and I will also change clothes, and I will go to the kitchen to find some soup and medicine. "

The people of Xiao State regard the etiquette of the ancestral hall as extremely important, and regard it as a symbol of continuous descendants.The children of the royal family will go to worship the Taimiao the next day after they get married, while the children of the famous families need to worship the family ancestral hall.

After Gu Yunjing finished speaking, she closed the door and walked out lightly.She was worried that Xiao Muxue would not be used to being served by servants in the residence, so she specially called Yuyao, the princess's dowry maid, to help her dress up.Tell her not to give birth, if there is a need for daily life, feel free to mention it to the housekeeper.

Caiyue lamented in her heart how caring the son-in-law was, and at the same time went to serve the princess.

After Gu Yunjing finished his explanation, he walked towards the kitchen.There are two kitchens in Zhenyuanhou's mansion, one is used for cooking and the other is specially used for boiling medicine.The latter is smaller than the former and is generally called a small kitchen.

In the small kitchen, the smell of medicine lingers.

The first thing Caiyue does when she gets up early every day is to make medicine for the son.The medicine Gu Yunjing took was different from the general medicines sold in the market. These medicinal herbs for conditioning the body were especially precious, and they were picked and dried from the deep valley of Wangyou Mountain.And each pair of herbal medicines is carefully prepared by Murong Lan, the owner of Wangyou Valley.

The process of dispensing medicine is difficult, and the process of boiling medicine is not easy.The cooking of this exclusive secret recipe is very particular about the heat.Only by cooking at a uniform temperature can the best medicinal effect be exerted.The temperature of the flame changes rapidly, and it is extremely difficult to control it evenly.Rao Caiyue, who was born as a medicine boy, spends a lot of effort every time she cooks medicine.

When Gu Yunjing walked to the small kitchen, Caiyue was fanning the flames with a cattail fan. She concentrated on watching the flames under the pitch-black medicine pot. Once the distance was far away, it was not easy to observe the brightness of the flames.Therefore, Caiyue is very close to the flames, almost bowing her head and sticking to the medicine pot.

The girl's beautiful face was stained with layers of carbon black, and the sweat dripped from her forehead, smearing a little bit of carbon black, Caiyue's face looked more and more dirty.

Gu Yunjing stood at the door, seeing this inexplicably sore nose, and the ripples of memory gently spread.For eight years, Caiyue has been taking care of herself in every possible way, asking about the cold and the warmth, knowing the cold and the hot.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the medicine was ready. Caiyue picked up the medicine pot and carefully poured the medicine into the bowl. When she saw the medicine juice bubbling, she smiled heartily.He put the medicine by the stove and was about to wash his face when he heard a coughing sound behind him.

Gu Yunjing had never stepped into the kitchen before, so he was naturally not used to the choking smell.

Caiyue hurriedly took out her handkerchief and impatiently wiped her face, she said in a soft voice with embarrassment: "My lord, why did you come to the kitchen?"

Gu Yunjing looked at Caiyue with gentle and peaceful eyes, and smiled slightly: "I came to ask you to make a bowl of medicine for headache."

Caiyue's bright eyes revealed both worry and distress. She walked up to Gu Yunjing and asked, "Do you have a severe headache? I'll make it right away."

She glanced around the smoky kitchen and said, "Your Majesty, there is a lot of smoke and smoke here. You go back to your room first, and I'll bring it to you when it's ready. If you want some soup and medicine, just send someone to talk to me. Why bother to come by yourself?"

Gu Yunjing smiled and said: "I will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors later, and they are all busy arranging things. Then I will go first and bring the medicine to the room where I used to live."

The smell of fireworks in the kitchen was really unpleasant, Gu Yunjing rubbed her nose lightly, and quickly exited this "smoky" place.

It is relatively simple to boil the medicine for headaches, and Caiyue brought the soup over after a while.After Gu Yunjing finished drinking, she leaned on the bed and closed her eyes slightly to rest. After she relieved her fatigue, she slowly got up, changed her clothes, washed up, and walked towards the wedding room.

"Your Highness, it's almost time."

Xiao Muxue had already done her makeup, she responded lightly, "En."

The Gu family is a Hou family's family, and there are many rules and etiquette.One of them is that the groom needs to help the bride into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.In fact, Gu Yunjing was facing a very embarrassing question at this time, that is whether to hold Xiao Muxue's hand or not.

Come on, I feel too reluctant.Don't do it, I'm afraid of breaking the rules of the ancestral hall.Gu Yunjing is not a person who pays attention to red tape, it is because the elders who guard the ancestral hall are all Gu's elders.In front of them, Gu Wei, Marquis of Zhenyuan, had to pay attention to etiquette.If a junior like her doesn't pay attention to etiquette, she will inevitably be lectured by the elders of the clan.

Gu Yunjing, who is usually knowledgeable and wise, was really troubled by this matter, she lightly brushed her forehead.Xiao Muxue didn't know the etiquette, and just walked forward slowly.Looking at Xiao Muxue's beautiful figure, Gu Yunjing felt embarrassed for a moment.

Caiyue is well aware that there are many etiquettes in the Hou's House, in order to avoid overstepping the rules, she deliberately memorized the rules of the Hou's Mansion from the moment she entered the Hou's Mansion.Looking at Gu Yunjing's face of being in a dilemma, she already knew the general idea.

After Caiyue bowed to Xiao Muxue to salute, she said softly: "My servant Caiyue has something to tell the princess."

She knew that Xiao Muxue was a cold-tempered person, so she shouldn't be easy to get along with, she was afraid of offending this noble princess and putting Gu Yunjing in a dilemma.Caiyue pursed her lips, and said again: "The servant girl's words are meaningless, if there is something that offends the princess, I ask the princess to forgive me."

Xiao Muxue gave Caiyue a meowing look, with a cold expression: "Speak."

Although Caiyue calls herself a servant girl, apart from her respectful attitude, there is no trace of humbleness in her at all.Xiao Muxue couldn't help but glance at Yuyao, the maid of honor who is close to her.

"The princess has just married into the Hou Mansion, so she may not be familiar with the rules. According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, the prince needs to help the princess into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors."

Xiao Muxue is such a smart person, she knew right away that Caiyue was solving problems for Gu Yunjing.Looking back at the young man with his hand resting on his chin, he pondered for a moment, then slowly walked back to Yun Jing's side.

Xiao Muxue gently tugged on her sleeve, revealing a long section, covering her slender hands.When Gu Yunjing saw it, he immediately understood, pinched the cuff of Her Royal Highness, and walked towards the ancestral hall.
