wedding dress

Chapter 159
The fifth son-in-law is really seriously ill. Xiaodong heard Zhao Lu mention it once, and invited several imperial physicians, but they were helpless.

Quiet fingers tapped on the table a few times.Xiaodong looked at him, Shen Jing seldom showed emotions when he was a teenager, now that he is getting older, he looks more stable and deep, Xiaodong doesn't know whether he is happy or angry.

Ordinarily... the fifth son-in-law is his rival in love, and if the fifth son-in-law is sick, Shen Jing should be happy.

However, if Shen Jing cared about the fifth princess and wished her a good life, then she couldn't expect the fifth son-in-law to die of a serious illness, otherwise the fifth princess would have to be a widow.Even if you are a princess, the days of being a widow are just as difficult.The fifth princess is still so young—there are still decades to come, how can she suffer?
There is no precedent for a princess who lost her husband and remarried in this dynasty.Xiaodong only heard the Empress Dowager Shengci say once that there was a princess who died unexpectedly before she got married after she was engaged, so she chose another husband-in-law after two years, which is different from remarrying.

Shen Jing didn't stay long before leaving, and Xiaodong didn't keep him any longer.

Xiaodong could never have imagined that today she is so popular here, sending away the sixth princess, and Shen Jing came.Shen Jing said goodbye here, but the fifth princess came to the door.She was wearing a dark purple palace dress and a gauze hat. The wind blew up the gauze, revealing a delicate chin and beautiful neck.

When the sixth princess left just now, she hadn't met Shen Jing face to face.But this time when the fifth princess came, she walked face to face with Shen Jing.

Shen Jing was surprised, but the fifth princess also seemed at a loss for a moment.Xiaodong couldn't restrain his curiosity, his gaze wandered between the faces of the two people in turn, his quiet gaffe was only for a moment, and he immediately came back to his senses and saluted: "I've seen the princess."

"Shen Bulang, you're welcome," Fifth Princess' voice sounded slightly tense, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "I'm here to discuss something with Sister Xiaodong..."

When she came to Xiaodong, she didn't need to explain to anyone, she said this purposely, as if she wanted to clarify what she was confessing.

Xiaodong blinked, Xiaodong couldn't remember the quiet new official position clearly, but the fifth princess called out—well, the fifth princess really cares about current affairs.

But you can't let them just stand in front of the door and talk.

Xiaodong had no choice but to come out and make this stick for hitting mandarin ducks.After all, the fifth princess is already married. Even if nothing substantial happened between her and Shen Jing, as long as someone else comes up with a few gossips... In this part of the capital, romantic affairs are always spread quickly. There will be storms all over the city.

"Fifth sister, is it your first time to come to my place? The day before yesterday, the fourth and sixth sisters all came, but you didn't come. I was thinking of treating you to flowers and tea. Cousin, I have a guest, so I won't see you off." , Come and sit when you have free time."

The fifth princess nodded and walked in with Xiaodong.

"I didn't even say hello, so I came to the door." The fifth princess apologized first: "There is really something to trouble little sister Xiaodong."

"Fifth Sister, please say something. If I can help you, of course I won't refuse."

The fifth princess said in a low voice, "It's because of the son-in-law's illness..."

Xiaodong was a little puzzled, the fifth son-in-law was seriously ill, whether it was good for the fifth princess to seek medical advice, or pray to gods and Buddha, why should she ask to come before her?
"But there is a lack of medicinal materials? I still have a few branches of ginseng here. My father gave me four bodhi fruits when I got married."

The fifth princess shook her head: "It's not medicinal materials. There is no shortage of medicinal materials in Lin Xianghou's mansion—even if there is a shortage, there are no medicinal materials that cannot be found in the palace."

What is that for?
The fifth princess said: "I heard that there is a famous doctor in Suizhou who is famous all over the world, and I want to invite him to treat your son-in-law. But Suizhou is very high and the road is far away, and I am not familiar with it at all..."

Xiaodong suddenly realized that because Qin Lie is from Suizhou, the fifth princess came to ask her about it, right?
She didn't understand either, Qin Lie wasn't at home, but it didn't matter, Qin Shi was at home, if there really was such a famous doctor, Qin Shi would know about it.

"Well, I don't know the situation in Suizhou, but my mother-in-law happens to be there, so she might know."

The fifth princess cheered up: "Then please trouble little sister Xiaodong to lead me to visit Mrs. Qin, I, I came in a hurry, empty-handed..."

Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Fifth sister, don't worry, my mother-in-law is straightforward and warm-hearted. If there is such a famous doctor, she should know about it."

Qin Shi's youthful beauty really surprised the Fifth Princess too, she wanted to perform the ceremony of the younger generation, Qin Shi was busy making people stir up, Xiao Dong also persuaded, the Fifth Princess still greeted the ceremony respectfully, and greeted a few words, I will say it in the future.

Qin thought for a while: "I have always lived in Dongquan, Suizhou is a big place, the famous doctor...is his surname Hong?"

The fifth princess was full of joy: "Exactly, the surname is Hong. Madam knows this person? Is his medical skills really good?"

"I've never seen it before. I only heard that it cured a lot of difficult and miscellaneous diseases. I don't know if he can cure the fifth son-in-law's illness. However, from here to Suizhou, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. , I’m afraid that the far water can’t quench the near thirst.”

Xiaodong thought the same way.Now that the Fifth Prince Consort is already so seriously ill, can he survive until he invites Mr. Hong from Suizhou?

The fifth princess obviously doesn't care about so much anymore. If there is a glimmer of hope, even if it is far away, she will firmly grasp it.

"Well, in this case, I can only write a letter back and ask someone to send this Mr. Hong to the capital—but first, I don't know if he will travel thousands of miles. , I'm afraid it will take nearly a month. In three or so..."

Qin didn't say it clearly, but the fifth princess should also understand that even if it is a genius doctor, it can cure the disease but not the life.If the Fifth Son-in-law...has some kind of terminal illness, then he can't blame the doctor for not being able to do his best.

The fifth princess nodded heavily: "I also understand what Madam said. I also ask Madam to help me with this favor. Whether...whether it succeeds or not, I will be grateful."

Qin Lie was not at home, Qin Shi dictated, Xiaodong wrote the letter for her, and the fifth princess told about the condition of the fifth son-in-law, Xiaodong also wrote it down, sealed the envelope, Qin Shi ordered someone to send the letter back to Suizhou immediately go.The fifth princess had red eyes, thanked Qin Shi and Xiaodong again, and wanted to leave.

Xiaodong asked to stay, but the fifth princess just shook her head: "The son-in-law's mood is unstable during illness, and he can't leave people for a while. If he wakes up and can't see me, I'm afraid he won't be able to drink the medicine. I'd better go back quickly. If there is any news here, Xiaodong My sister must send someone to tell me..."

"Fifth sister, don't worry, if I get the letter, I will send someone to tell you right away."

The fifth princess left, and finally there were no guests this time.Xiaodong heaved a long sigh of relief, changed his clothes, and chatted with Qin Shi over tea.

"This fifth princess is the daughter of Concubine Ming?"

"Well, she used to have sores, so she has some marks on her face. It's not a problem if you don't look carefully."

"So young..."

Xiaodong understood the meaning of Qin's words.

If the fifth son-in-law really can't do it, the fifth princess...it's a pity.

Qin Lie came back at night, and together with Xiao Dong, had dinner with Qin Shi.The Qin family didn't pay much attention to eating and sleeping, so they talked about the day's affairs at the dinner table.

Qin Lie nodded and said: "The Fifth Son-in-law is indeed seriously ill. It is said that he has already coughed up blood. The illness is very dangerous. A good person will not be able to get out of bed in a few days. But although that Mr. Hong is somewhat famous, he can Can it cure the illness of the Fifth Prince Consort?"

"Who can say for sure, but do your best and obey the destiny."

In the evening Xiaodong was a little unhappy, Qin Lie told two jokes, but she didn't show a smile.

Looking at the candlelight at the bedside through the curtain, it was a little gloomy.Xiaodong took the tea from Qin Lie and said with some luck: "Princess Six came here today, I don't know if she came to quarrel or want to fight. Fortunately, Jinfeng is not at home, otherwise Princess Six would really be a barbarian." , that would be troublesome enough. In fact, Jinfeng and Luo Wei have nothing to do with her, so there is no reason for her to be jealous."

Qin Lie smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.It is said that this person's skin is dark, which makes his teeth whiter.

"The sixth princess is just playing around, don't take it to heart. Anyway, Jinfeng and the others are leaving the capital soon."

"Ah."

Xiaodong drank half a cup of tea, Qin Lie took the other half and drank it. They both blew on the lamp and lay down.Thinking about Shen Jing's expression when she met the fifth princess today, Xiaodong always felt that something was pressing on her chest, a little heavy.

She didn't know how much pain the fifth princess and Shen Jing felt in their hearts, but there was an insurmountable gap between them.These days, how many couples of lovers can finally get married?

As far as she knows, it seems... Except for herself who can be so happy, there is no one else.

Most people have never seen what their other half looks like before they get married. Tall, short, fat, thin, black, white, handsome, and ugly, they are all told by others.After worshiping heaven and earth and entering the bridal chamber, they will spend the rest of their lives together, good or bad.

Qin Lie heard that she was not asleep, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

"Miss us." Xiaodong said, "We are much luckier than others."

Qin Lie stretched out his hand, Xiaodong buried his head in his arms.

She couldn't imagine how she and a complete stranger would lie on the same bed, rubbing each other's ears and touching each other's skin.The man held her in his arms, stroking her body... Just thinking about it, Xiaodong felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

Not to mention, he still has to tolerate that person sleeping with his concubine, with the maid, and even with the woman in the barn outside...

Thinking about such a life makes me shudder.

Fortunately, she married Qin Lie.

He and she have known each other for a long time, understand each other, and love each other.

He has no other women, be it concubines, girls, or the idle flowers and weeds outside, none at all.Xiaodong doesn't have to worry about tasting other women's rouge on his lips, and doesn't have to worry that one day, another woman with a big belly will show off in front of her with his child——

Qin Lie's lips were close to her earlobe, and the hot breath made Xiaodong's whole body go limp. Holding the quilt in his hand, he felt his lips gradually move down, past her neck, and Qin Lie supported her waist with one hand. , bit the tie on her bellyband lightly, and pulled it lightly, and the knot was loosened.
