Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 283
The sky had just brightened, and the fourth prince was already sitting in the inner book, flipping through a pile of newly sent letters. After reading a few of them, the fourth prince put down the letter and turned to ask Ming Feng, "Is there any letter from the Marquis of Chang'an?" ?”

"Master, the Marquis of Chang'an just wrote the letter yesterday morning. From last night to this morning, only one steward of the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion set off to report the good news to the north." The Marquis of Chang'an, or the Marquis of Chang'an's mansion in the capital, simply answered all the questions, and the fourth prince gave an "hmm" after a while, and ordered to fetch paper and ink. He didn't feel too relieved when he went to war with King Shou. No matter how bravely he won the three armies back then, he is now very old. The so-called joining the army is just an attitude, but Mrs. Zhou did her best to help the fifth one for the sake of her granddaughter. His Zhuangzi, this matter is not so simple, he has to write a letter to Marquis Chang'an himself, and he needs Marquis Chang'an to come up with enough 'reply' to satisfy him.

The fourth prince had just folded the secret letter and put it on a lacquered seal, when someone passed it on outside, the grandma next to Mrs. Sun in the Prince's Mansion of Dongyang County begged to see the fourth master, the fourth prince's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his finger, the young servant hurriedly attracted Madam Lu Entering, Mother Lu respectfully greeted the ceremony, lowered her hands and restrained her face, and said: "Fourth master, the old ancestor ordered the maid to come to see fourth master for the sake of Twelve Niang's marriage. She and our princess, Mrs. Chen, have paid attention to it for a long time. Well, it seems that our concubine and his wife think that the fourteenth man of Yao Xiang's family and the twelve lady are a very suitable pair, and the old ancestor also thinks it is good. The old ancestor said that the fourth master loves the twelve lady the most, so he sent his maid over Ask Fourth Master what he meant, the old ancestor said, Twelve Niangs are not too young, and they made an appointment a year ago, so they can quickly take Twelve Niangs home to prepare for marriage."

"This marriage has already been discussed with Yao Xiang's family?" The fourth prince's tone was calm, and Mother Lu bowed down a little more and replied: "Back to the fourth master, I haven't mentioned it to the Yao family yet. The old ancestor said that the fourth master must order first." Head, so we can talk to the Yao family."

"Well, it's a good relationship!" The fourth prince's voice was gloomy, and he had to quickly take the twelve mothers out of the Shouwang Mansion. Engagement is definitely the best way, at least the Yao family and the Dongyang County Wang's mansion are the same. Good dear, as for Yao Shishi's absurdity, it will be fine when he is older. "Tell your ancestors that you don't need to find someone to talk to. I will meet Yao Xiang in a while and just ask him a question." Lu Mama beamed with joy when she heard the words, she quickly bowed her knees to thank her, and carefully retreated out with her hands down.

Jinning County King's Mansion, it was already daylight outside, Guan Tong was standing outside the courtyard gate with his hands on the small hand stove in the armhole. He went to remind him again, walked to the gate of the courtyard and reluctantly came back, the concubine just came back last night, it is human nature for the fifth master to wait a while and come out later.

Guan Tong waited another quarter of an hour, looked at the time clock in the porter's room with his head, turned around in a circle, thought for a while, beckoned to the servant and said, "Hurry up and tell the Ministry, Fifth Lord is temporarily There is something to do, what I said yesterday at Chenchu ​​will be changed to the afternoon." The young man promised and rushed out, Guan Tong turned around again, and simply went to wait in the porter's room.

In the upper room, Li Tian was still in a deep sleep. The fifth prince supported his head with one hand, and with the other hand he was arranging Li Tian's hair scattered on the pillow one by one. He didn't have the slightest intention of getting up.Yingluo and Yuye stood guard outside, Mammy Xiong once again opened the silk curtain and slit one eye to look in. After finishing, she went to the door and stretched her head to look back. Mr. Guan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard before dawn. It is said that Wuye's lineup is full today, all of which are urgent matters.Mother Xiong picked up the curtain to look at it twice, couldn't help it, coughed lightly, raised half of the curtain and said with a low voice, "Fifth Master, it's getting late, Mr. Guan has been waiting outside the yard for an hour gone."

"Whisper!" The fifth prince jumped out of the bed very nimbly, jumped to the door with bare feet, stared at Mammy Xiong and reprimanded in a low voice, "Why are you arguing? Didn't you see that the princess was asleep?" Mammy Xiong hurriedly beckoned Yu Ye brought the shoes over, took the shoes and bent down to put them on for the fifth prince herself, while smiling and whispering: "Mr. Guan was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, saying that today is an important matter for the Lord, This has been waiting for over an hour."

"En." The fifth prince glanced at the clock in the corner of the room, and reluctantly gave a 'hmm', and waited for the elder brother to come back, no matter what, he couldn't take this errand again!

"Be careful, don't wake up the princess, tell her when the princess wakes up, and wait for me to come back for lunch." The fifth prince brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and took a few mouthfuls of porridge with Yu Ye and others waiting on him. After drinking it, he hurriedly ate two or three elephant-eyed steamed buns, solemnly confessed to Yingluo, put on his cloak, and hurriedly went out to the Privy Council, today is really an important matter!

Li Tian heard that the fifth prince had left the door, opened his eyes, lay quietly on the bed and lost his mind for a while, and then called Yingluo and others to enter the room to wait on him.

Just after breakfast, the mother-in-law sent by Madam Xiong brought several boxes of snacks into the Qingjiang Hou Mansion, passed a few words from Li Tian, ​​and tactfully told Yu Yaofang that Li Tian had returned safely.

Yu Yaofang managed to get through the noon, and ordered Garcinia to carry a pile of old mountain ginseng and Polygonatum donkey-hide gelatin that she had picked out earlier, and got into the car to rush to the Prince's Mansion of Jinning County. After walking halfway, she remembered Lin Ke and hesitated After a while, he ordered the car to turn around and call Lin Ke to Nanning County Prince's Mansion first.

Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke got off the car at the second gate of the Prince's Mansion in Jinning County. The mother-in-law greeted them and led them into the main courtyard. They went to the kang under the south window in the east wing of the room. Li Tian was covered with thick pillows behind her. , although the person is very thin and his complexion is pale, but he seems to be in good spirits.

"Tian Tian, ​​why are you so sick?" Lin Ke stared wide-eyed, and exclaimed in astonishment. Yu Yaofang looked straight at Li Tian, ​​opened her mouth, but didn't speak, tears kept falling, Li Tian Tian's heart was sour, his eyes were slightly wet, he smiled and beckoned the two of them to sit down.

"The princess is already well, but she is thinner. Mother Xiong said that as long as she takes good care of her for half a month, the princess will recover. Don't be like this, the eldest lady and the second lady." Yingluo stepped forward to persuade Yu Yaofang with a smile. Knowing the inside story, she hastily wiped away her tears, and said with a mixture of crying and laughter: "Ake is worthless, and I am worthless. I can't see Tiantian suffering. These days, are you... all right?" Yu Yaofang looked at Li Tian, ​​and said Li Tian lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "It's okay, everything is fine, it's just a small illness, I'm afraid of making others sick, and I'm lazy again, I want to use this to hide Take it easy, it's all good now."

"You are so thin! This is not a minor illness! Tiantian, what is your illness? Did you have a miscarriage? My mother said that you must be pregnant. Seeing how thin you are, you didn't keep the baby?" Lin Ke poked her head over , raised a corner of the quilt to look at Li Tian's stomach, Yu Yaofang wanted to roll her eyes at what she said, Yingluo looked embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to press the corner of the quilt back, Li Tian patted Lin Ke's hand and smiled: "No , is the root cause of the previous disease, this time the medication made it all flare up, so I can take the opportunity to get rid of the previous evil root, so as to avoid future troubles."

Yu Yaofang smiled knowingly and said: "What Tian Tian said is that this trip will definitely get rid of the root of the old disease."

"That's good!" Lin Ke was not so thoughtful. Hearing what the two of them said, he let out a long breath, and stopped worrying about what Li Tian's illness was. All kinds of big and small gossip happened during Tian's 'falling ill'.

"Tian Tian, ​​have you heard? The magistrate of Ninggan Prefecture locked the magistrate of Yongjing County in a private prison! Have you heard about this?" Lin Ke's words were inexplicable, and Yu Yaofang couldn't help but turn around. Looking at her with his head, Li Tian looked at her with a smile and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what's going on?"

"That's what happened..." Lin Ke hurriedly said what he had heard: "...I heard Mrs. Leng say that her mother was worried that her elder brother was worried, because she was afraid that he would be in the house surnamed Ding. There is a root cause of disease in the water prison, Ah Tian, ​​tell me, will Mrs. Leng and her elder brother have some disease root? I heard that half of the body of the people who are locked in the water prison has rotted!"

"Who said the water prison was closed?" Li Tian couldn't help laughing and asked.

"Everyone says that!" Lin Ke was confident, and Yu Yaofang pursed her lips and smiled, "Who said everyone said that? Why haven't I heard of water prisons or not? Didn't you say they were locked in the firewood room?"

"You really said that!" Lin Ke became a little anxious. Li Tian coughed a few times with a smile, raised his hand to signal Yu Yaofang, looked at Lin Ke and said with a smile: "There are many ways to torture people. There is no need for water prisons. The water prison It’s not easy to repair, and the court has issued a decree that no water dungeons are allowed, no matter how stupid that surname Ding is, he can’t build this water dungeon.”

"It's just that there is no water prison. As you said just now, there are many ways to torture people. Mrs. Leng is worried that her elder brother is so worried. Do you think her elder brother will be fine?" Lin Ke's focus is not on the water prison. Li Tian glanced at Yu Yaofang, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, the imperial envoy to Ninggan Mansion is Xu Jingzhi, and he and Leng Shoudao are brothers of the same school, you don't have to worry, there are others." Li Tian stopped and looked up Pointing at Yu Yaofang with her finger, she said with a smile: "Ms. Leng's family is not familiar with Yaoyao. You and Yaoyao are so familiar that you can't be more familiar. If Mrs. Leng's family is worried any more, please beg Yaoyao to let her write a letter." Just write to her cousin and ask about Leng Dalang's situation."

"I'm just asking for Mrs. Leng's family! You know me, I don't like Leng the most! I don't worry about him at all! I just watch Mrs. Leng worry like that. Mrs. Leng is very good , I really can't bear it..." Lin Ke tried desperately to explain, Yu Yaofang laughed softly, stretched out her hand and touched her forehead and said, "Look at you! There is no silver 300 taels here! What did Tian Tian say?" Lin Ke choked with an 'uh', and suddenly jumped up out of embarrassment and grabbed Yu Yaofang and shouted, "What do you mean by that? Who paid 300 taels? I'm just thinking about Mrs. Leng, and you don't have 300 taels of silver here!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault! It's all my fault, sister, please forgive me!" Yu Yaofang couldn't stand still when she was shaking her, and hurriedly apologized repeatedly.Li Tian leaned on the pillow and watched the two laughing, thinking about Jiang Hong's entrustment before leaving, secretly thinking about how to leave next.
