The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 216

Zi Ying's words finally made Feng Yao open his eyes and sit up straight, staring at Zi Ying fixedly, feeling the need to see Zi Ying, couldn't help shrinking his shoulders.

Feng Yao laughed again, and said coquettishly, "You can't get rid of your talkativeness? Thinking about these years, you have been talkative a lot, but you did say something useful. Sometimes I feel that, in fact, Ziying, you are no less scheming than your sister Luluo. After thinking about it carefully, you are more thoughtful than Luluo."

Hearing what Feng Yao said, Zi Ying's face turned pale, biting her lip for a while, not knowing what to say.

However, Feng Yao mentioned his feet that had been soaking in the water, "The water is cold, so I don't need to wash it anymore. I don't eat dinner, my stomach is bloated and I can't eat any more. You should also go down and rest."

Zi Ying hurriedly wrapped Feng Yao's slender feet with a cloth towel, and applied rose oil.I stuffed a piece of charcoal in the stove and put it under the quilt to warm it up, and then I went out.

Feng Yao sat alone on the edge of the bed, reaching out to touch the bed.It's not too far away from the capital now, but I can feel a lot cooler at night, and if I go further north, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep wrapped in a cotton robe.

But lying down, Feng Yao soon fell asleep.Probably bumpy all day, really tired.Shortly after falling asleep, I had a dream: In the dream was a sea of ​​flowers, under the peach blossoms all over the tree stood a tall figure, with a straight back and broad shoulders, it was actually Mo Li!
Suddenly, there was another sound of qin, Feng Yao could tell that it was Su Junqing playing the qin.But Mo Li was the only one in the sea of ​​flowers, where did Su Junqing go?
But at some point, Mo Li turned to concentrating on playing the qin again, his slender hands pressed and plucked the strings, and what he played was "Fengyao".Then I heard Mo Li laughing and asking himself: "Why can't you even hear me playing the piano? If you didn't have me in your heart, how could you fall in love with Su Junqing at first sight? Do you like his piano sound, or is it because he plays the piano?" look like me?"

Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, staring at Mo Li in a daze.It's as if he's right, but not right.After thinking for a while, I replied: "I have you in my heart, but you are farther and farther away, and I have nothing to look forward to, so I just let go."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Moli's eyes, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Give it up? Yao'er really has feelings for me, so why doesn't he wait for me? What I owe you, I will repay you in this life, isn't that enough?"

"Is it enough?" Feng Yao couldn't help but lowered his head and asked himself.There was a sharp pain at the apex of her heart, which made her wake up suddenly.The feeling in the dream is still there, and there seems to be the sound of the piano in my ears.But apart from the silently weeping candle that is about to burn out, is there anyone else in the room?

It was still early before dawn, but Feng Yao couldn't sleep anymore.He wanted to get up, but saw that the brazier on the ground had been extinguished.Feng Yao stretched out his arms to try, but felt that it was too cold, so he simply wrapped the quilt tightly, curled up in the bed, and quietly waited for Zi Ying to come over and light the brazier at dawn.

But the nights are always too long, the day is never bright, and the charcoal fire of the stove under his feet has long been extinguished, Feng Yao is really uncomfortable with the cold, his hands and feet are getting cold gradually, and his body is also shivering.But Fengyao didn't want to call people now, he was afraid that people would know that he couldn't stand the cold and delicate appearance.

Shrinking for a while, Feng Yao unconsciously groped under the pillow, wanting to find something to relieve boredom, or to see if it could keep warm, so he touched a hard object wrapped in a purse.Taking it out, it turned out to be the purse containing the white jade rabbit that Su Junqing gave her before leaving.

For a moment, Feng Yao couldn't tell whether it was a sore heart or a faint sweetness gushing out, but he just took out the white jade rabbit and clasped his hands together in his palms.Bai Yu's gentleness moistened Feng Yao's heart, which made her no longer so cold.

On the second day, it was necessary to rush on the road again. Thanks to Feng Yao's mobilization yesterday, those soldiers walked with more energy than the day before.It's just that the further north it gets, the colder it gets. On the evening of the third day, there were large snowflakes in the sky, and the ground was extremely hard.

Zhuang Yi told Feng Yao that his hometown is a town in the north, and it's not the coldest here now, and if he walks for a few more days, the ground will be covered with frozen soil.

Feng Yao was surprised, he didn't expect it to be like this in the cold weather in the north.I have seen Snow Flower in the capital myself, but it has never been so early in the future, nor has it been so big.

That day when he was resting in the post station, Feng Yao felt pain and itchiness in all ten toes, an indescribably uncomfortable feeling.Asking Ziying to help her take off her shoes and socks, she took a look and found that her toes were all red and swollen, and they were strangely soft when she touched them.

"Princess, I'm afraid it's frostbite. I'm going to call the military doctor." Zi Ying was startled when she saw Feng Yao's toes were swollen like a small carrot. came in.

Doctors accompanying the army are no more particular than imperial physicians in the palace.Feng Yao showed his bare feet.The old military doctor concluded at a glance that it was indeed frostbite.Fortunately, it is not serious, as long as you rub it vigorously until it becomes hot, it can be relieved.But you must keep warm, otherwise you will get chilblains.

Only then did Zi Ying feel relieved, sent the military doctor away, moved a small stool and sat at Feng Yao's feet, rubbed her toes to warm them up, cut off the sleeves of one of her padded jackets, and warmed them with a heater , put it on Feng Yao's feet.

Feng Yao felt better now, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw Zi Ying's removed sleeves, "Your padded coat has become a waistcoat."

"It just so happens that the sleeves are a little longer, so I wanted to cut them a long time ago." Zi Ying smiled, and took out a lot of cotton wool from her clothes, and stuffed them all into Feng Yao's boots, stuffed them into a thick layer, and then stretched her hands in. Press it flat so that it won't break your feet.

Seeing Zi Ying like this, Feng Yao was moved and couldn't help but said: "Your shoes also need to be stuffed with some cotton, don't suffer from frostbite like mine."

"It doesn't matter to me. I've been walking on the ground all the time. I really don't feel the cold. The princess needs to move her toes often when riding a horse. It's frostbite if you always stay that way."

Feng Yao smiled, and said playfully, "This one moves, that one freezes, what about the tongue twister? It's you, a poor-mouthed one, who can say it."

Zi Ying laughed again, and the pair of master and servant talked a lot, which seemed lively.

Before leaving, Zi Ying poked her head in from the door and said, "Princess, you haven't smiled like this for a long time. If Zi Ying has made any mistakes, the princess will punish you, but don't be bored in your heart and spoil yourself."

Feng Yao smiled after hearing this, and waved his hands: "Go and rest. You have been with me for so many years, as long as it is not a fatal matter, I can take care of it, and I will not blame you. But if you don't want this master-servant friendship, I don't need to be polite, and I will definitely not forgive you."

Ziying shrank her neck when she heard this, and said softly: "Ziying doesn't dare anymore, just follow the princess wholeheartedly from now on."

"Well, let's go." Feng Yao smiled with relief, seeing Zi Ying close the door and walk away, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes again.
