Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 118 Chapter 125
There was news that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill. Qin Mingyu immediately ordered his servants to prepare horses and rush to the palace.

In the main room of the Jinghe Hall, Old Madam Shen paused her hand holding the Buddhist beads, and looked at Mother Xuan, "The Queen Mother has not even been out of the palace for the past two years, and the last time the East Palace held a banquet, she, who always likes to be lively, was not there. "

Mother Xuan sighed, but she didn't want to say anything harsh, so she just said: "The Queen Mother is blessed, and there is Princess Jiayi, the couple of Shunchang Mansion, and His Majesty the Empress. The Yuean Wang and his wife in northern Xinjiang returned to Beijing. They have their children by their side, so they feel more at ease. This disease should be over, "

Old lady Shen raised her eyebrows.This is not companionship, this is waiting for the end.She muttered meaningfully: "I just hope that I can get through it."

Half a month later, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

These days, Shen Pan'er and Cheng Guyuan are very close, the two little girls make appointments every day to play hammer balls, go to small restaurants to listen to plays and eat wine, go to the shop to push Pai Gow with others, and do whatever is fun.

Cheng Guyuan can be considered to have opened up the inside and outside of Ningbeihou's mansion, not only following her father's heroic demeanor, but also her mother's talent, such a girl is also liked by Mrs. Shen very much.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the whole family of Ningbei Houfu decided to go to the suburban mountain villa to escape the summer heat.

On the day of departure, Cheng Guyuan also came.

Taking advantage of Shen Ci's dark face, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pulled Cheng Guyuan into the carriage, not giving Shen Ci any chance to be weird.

There were quite a few female envoys and servants on this trip, and the chariots and horses of Ningbeihou's Mansion lined up for a long time, with a huge momentum.

The suburban villa is located by a small stream in a deep mountain, where the rare coolness in the scorching summer is here. It is already evening when the carriages and horses arrive, so the host does not need to worry about unloading luggage.

Cheng Guyuan lived with Mrs. Shen and her party in Mucangzhai, and everyone in the second room lived in the Xiaoxiang Courtyard next door.

It was night, the twilight was heavy, and the cool breeze in the mountains was chilly. Ye Lingwu carried a food box containing pear soup and walked up the bluestone steps. The sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms along the way were particularly beautiful and fragrant. She was wearing a bright yellow jacket The skirt is a backdrop.

When he was about to arrive at the small courtyard, he saw a young man in red leaning against a wooden pillar on the corridor. Ye Lingwu held his breath unconsciously, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet at the Green Bamboo Pavilion? Why are you waiting here?" with?"

Hearing the sound, Shen Ci looked back and saw Ye Lingwu approaching gracefully, correcting his sloppy posture, and replied: "Of course I have to wait here, isn't it because I'm afraid that some road idiot won't know the way?"

Ye Lingwu blushed: "Since the second son said so, then I will give you the pear soup now, and I don't need to go in."

Shen Ci didn't pick up the food box, "Don't, don't, don't you think I'm wrong, I'm Lu Chi, I'm worried that I'm going the wrong way, so I'm waiting for my cousin here.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, Shen Ci cleared his throat, and said again: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I saw my cousin lose weight? Is it because the weather is too hot, my appetite is not good, and I can't eat?"

"Second Young Master is wrong, I have gained a lot of weight recently."

Ye Lingwu stated plainly, and then put the food box directly into Shen Ci's hands, "Drink this pear soup while it's hot. The old lady is still reading the scriptures at the moment. I have time to spare, and now I have to go back quickly."

After all, he left without looking back.

Shen Ci watched the beautiful shadow disappear into the bamboo forest, then looked down at the food box in his hand, couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, turned and left with satisfaction.

Back in the side courtyard of Mu Cangzhai, Ye Lingwu heard a sound of vomiting as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, which sounded very painful.

She followed to look for it, but saw Jiang Lanshu suddenly ran out of the dormitory, leaning on the railing and clutching her chest, retching, and Qingju following behind helped her carry her back.

"Girl, are you okay? I still don't drink this soup, you have vomited several times." Qingju looked distressed, and handed over a new silk.

Jiang Lanshu took the silk and wiped her lips, calmed down for a long time, and replied: "It's okay, the doctor said that this medicine needs to be taken every day."

Ye Lingwu, who was hiding in the dark corner, hesitated for a while, then went out, looked at the slightly embarrassed woman on the corridor, and asked softly, "Sister Lan Shu, are you sick?"

After the words fell, the master and servant on the corridor jumped in fright, Jiang Lanshu covered her mouth with silk and raised her head in a hurry, her eyes were full of astonishment: "Sister Lingwu, why are you out so late?"

Ye Lingwu twisted her sleeves unconsciously, and replied: "I saw that the night was good tonight, so I took a walk for a while because I couldn't sleep. There is pear soup boiled in the kitchen, sister Lan Shu, would you like a bowl?"

"No need!" Jiang Lanshu immediately replied, dragging Qingju into the house, acting in a hurry and at a loss.

Ye Lingwu felt strange, but she didn't care too much. After all, the relationship between the two has always been tepid, and they wouldn't talk too much when they met. It might be boring to ask more questions.

Back in the bedroom, Rongxiu was making Ye Lingwu's bed, and asked why she wasn't in the main room just now.

Ye Lingwu, who had thought of an excuse a long time ago, replied without blushing and heartbeat, "Go to the kitchen to make pear soup", Rongxiu didn't ask any more questions.

Under the flower window, there were brushes, ink, paper and inkstones on the table. Ye Lingwu was sitting on her knees, and a faint scent of white sandalwood was permeating from the triangular hollowed-out purple gold furnace on the side.

It's been a long time since she wrote a family letter to Elder Song. Ye Lingwu wrote three full pages and stayed up until early in the morning. When she woke up the next day, she had two big dark circles under her eyes, which couldn't be covered even with rouge.

When going to the main room, as no surprise, I ran into Cheng Guyuan who lives with Mu Cangzhai.

"So you are the girl under Mrs. Shen's knees." Cheng Guyuan led the personal maid to come, and then blessed Ye Lingwu's body with a generous demeanor.

Ye Lingwu and Rongxiu all returned the salute.

Ye Lingwu smiled and said: "That day, Miss Guyuan left without thanking you. These days I always wanted to talk to you, and today I finally met you."

Cheng Guyuan said: "You don't need to thank me, I just don't like that girl's bullying. By the way, I still don't know your name. What do you call my sister?"

"My name is Ye Lingwu, the clear Ling, the misty fog."

"Then I'll call you Lingwu. My name is Cheng Guyuan. I'm a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Guyuan." As he spoke, Cheng Guyuan put his hand lightly on Ye Lingwu's shoulder.

Ye Lingwu didn't respond, and glanced at the calloused hand on her shoulder, and the image of her shooting arrows with a bow suddenly flashed in her mind that day.

At this moment, Mother Xuan came out and invited the girls in for breakfast.

Mrs. Shen drank the porridge slowly, and chatted with Cheng Guyuan for a long time. After they were almost finished eating, she looked at the two girls here again, and when she caught Jiang Lanshu who had just arrived late, she said, "Lady Lanshu You look very bad recently, are you sick? Have you checked with a doctor?"

Jiang Lanshu froze for a moment, put down the jade spoon slowly, and smiled slightly: "Back to the old lady, I do feel a little unwell these days. I checked with the doctor, and there is nothing serious."

"It's fine, just remember to drink the medicine." Old Mrs. Shen stared at her, probably feeling sorry for her. She hadn't looked at this girl's face since she came back.

Ye Lingwu buried her head in the porridge, and looked up at Jiang Lanshu carefully when she raised her eyes. She looked pretty good now, as if she wasn't the one who vomited profusely last night.
