Wangfu Shenyuan

In the evening, Rongli didn't come over, even though he repeatedly reminded himself not to expect Rongli to be like an ordinary lover, Xia An still couldn't contain his disappointment and sadness.

When it was mid-moon, the window opened a crack, and Xia An, who had been listening to the sound, immediately stretched his neck to look, but there was no one there, only a porcelain bottle was thrown in, and it happened to be thrown beside Xia An's pillow.

Xia An picked it up and looked, it was a good medicine for stopping bleeding and promoting muscle growth.Did the prince give it to him? Why didn't you come in?Or did you send someone over to deliver it to him?

In the evening, I opened the door to pick up food and wrapped myself in a robe.Lifting the robe, there was actually nothing inside.Xia An poured the viscous medicine into her fingertips, knelt down on the bed, and stretched her hands back.

After a day of recuperation, I feel much better, and I still feel a little pain when I lie still.But at this moment, when he touched it with his hand, just the opening of the acupuncture point made Xia An sweat in pain.

I really don't understand how anyone would like to do this, it hurts so much.Especially those girls, who are weak and weak, how can they bear it?

Xia An felt sorry for the woman, and wondered why God didn't make the guy smaller.Just thinking wildly like this, I finished taking the medicine for myself.

After taking the cloth towel and wiping his hands, Xia An was exhausted.Knowing that the prince will not come again, Xia An closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, so that when he wakes up tomorrow morning, the pain will be gone.

Woke up early the next day and really felt a lot better.Xia An opened the door, just as He Cheng was carrying a washbasin into the yard. "Morning, He Cheng."

"Xia An, you got up very early today." He Cheng entered the room, and first squatted down to burn a charcoal basin for Xia An.

He slept for a day and a night, why can't he get up early. "There was nothing important in the courtyard yesterday, right? By the way, have the gift slips from the palace been put into storage?"

"Mingxuanyuan has to compare the physical objects one by one and put them in the warehouse. I guess I can return them today." When the fire started, He Cheng warmed his hands first, and it was getting colder and colder. "Xia An, I don't know when the clothes you ordered in the tailoring room will be delivered. Why don't we go out to the tailoring shop outside to order a few pieces while we have nothing to do?"

Xia An shook his head: "Doesn't it cost money to do it in the mansion?" If he goes out to make clothes, then the monthly silver he just saved will be exhausted.

"But there are only two clothes in each season in the mansion. You are a decent person now, and you are okay in summer, but in winter, two clothes are not enough to change clothes. There are also few styles, and you always wear the same clothes. Don't you make people look down on you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a vulgar thing that covers the body."

He Cheng joked: "Hey, you sound like a saint at this time. When you were in the tailoring room, I saw that you wanted the mother-in-law who made clothes for people to draw the picture and let them follow suit."

"Ah, that's right." Xia An was washing his face.He Cheng suddenly remembered something, leaned over and said, "A man was arrested in the mansion, locked in a dungeon, and kept saying that he wanted to come to our yard. The head of the cell invited the steward over in the middle of the night, and the steward stayed there for a long time, and didn't come out until dawn .”

"What's so strange about this?" Having said that, Xia An frowned, feeling bad.

He Cheng said: "But after the steward came out, I always looked at your three courtyards. I was out of my mind for a whole day, and I burned my hands while eating tea. I have been following the steward's book for the past few days, and I can see the steward in an hour. Sighed in your direction several times."

"Really?" Xia An was worried.She simply rinsed her mouth and asked, "Is the manager here?"

"Not yet." He Cheng got up: "I'll bring you food."

"No, I'll go to the big kitchen to eat. It's served this way, and it won't be cold." Xia An tied up her hair and straightened her clothes.

He Cheng looked around and said, "Then let me clean the room for you." He didn't come in for a day, and the chaos became like this.

"No need." Xia An smiled dryly, "I'm packing my winter clothes. When I'm done, you can wash them for me. Let's go quickly." There was blood all over the quilt, why take it out and wash it.Xia An's face twitched with a smile, he had to wash the quilt by himself in such a cold day, and he couldn't dry it, how could he explain it when He Cheng saw him.

After the two had dinner, Xia An went directly to Ruo Confucian Academy to say good morning to Steward He.He Guanshi's body has not fully recovered, and the courtyard is not busy, so he no longer goes to Adu courtyard every day.

"Guanshi, have you had breakfast?" Xia An moved a flowery stool with bulging legs, sat by the bed and watched Bai Qi serve Guanshi He to take his medicine.

He Guanshi took the medicine in one go, waved Bai Qi back, and said to Xia An: "I've taken it, the medicine can only be taken after dinner. Xia An, I went to see an old friend yesterday, but I didn't expect that you There is still such a deep relationship with my old friend."

Xia An's heart skipped a beat, concealing his panic, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Fang Xiatong, the young master of the Fang family."

"Steward, slave..."

Steward He interrupted him: "Stop talking, listen to me. He angered the prince and sent him to the dungeon. The steward wanted to rescue him and begged several times, but it happened that the prince was sick, so he blocked him outside the door."

"My lord is sick?" Xia An couldn't bear it any longer, her voice raised several degrees.Misfortunes never come singly.

Manager He asked: "Xia An, can you come back to me, what is your relationship with Fang Xiatong, and what is your relationship with the prince?"

Xia An lowered her eyes: "I'm just a little slave in the palace, I don't understand what Guanshi means?" How did Fang Xiatong know that he was in Aduyuan, and asked He Guanshi to talk.Fortunately, he was imprisoned by the prince. If he really came here and saw that the cousin he had been looking for turned out to be someone he had always hated, what would happen?Xia An didn't dare to think about it.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it. That time I asked you if you would like to do something for me, you can always give me an accurate answer."

Xia An breathed a sigh of relief. If Manager He kept asking, he really didn't know how to answer. "The servant is doing things in the yard. If you have any orders, the servant dare not disobey."

"Our yard wants to say that we need to sort out the settlement list, but in fact it only takes a few days a year. But I transferred you here because I valued your ability to settle accounts. Haven't you thought about it?"

Xia An was silent.He Guan is not as simple as he guessed.

"Originally, I didn't intend to give you a way out. If you don't want to after the assessment period, then the beasts in the back mountain of the Wangfu will have an extra meal." Manager He coughed a few times, took a breath, and continued. : "But now I find that the prince attaches great importance to you, and I am shocked by the degree, and you still have a relationship with Young Master Fang, so I can't move you."

"Steward, you have the grace to save your life. As long as what you want this slave to do does not violate your conscience and can guarantee your life and safety, this slave is willing to serve you." Xia An grabbed the corner of his clothes and wanted to pay back the favor Otherwise, you will feel that part of yourself belongs to others all your life.

Manager He nodded in satisfaction: "I knew you were a good boy who would reciprocate your kindness. Now that you agree, you will wait for me at the Second Courtyard tonight."

"At night?" Xia An asked, "Can't it be during the day?"

"Are you busy at night?" Manager He asked strangely.There is no time to deal with the work of Adu Courtyard during the day, and it is too eye-catching to mention that it disappears during the day.

Xia An smiled wryly and said, "It's nothing, the slave is just snoozing."

"The daily time will not be very long. You are the vice-principal. When you are not busy in the future, no one will stop you when you go back to the room to take a nap during the day." Manager He pointed to the tea on the table, and Xia An got up to bring it for him. past.

He Guanshi moistened his throat, and then said: "My lord is ill. It stands to reason that the head of each courtyard should go to kowtow to him. If it's cold today and I can't bear it, you can go to the Tingfeng courtyard to kowtow for me. Well. Anyway, the prince doesn’t see anyone, so just go to the courtyard and kowtow to the main room.”

Xia An was worried about how to meet the prince, but he did not expect that Manager He would give him such a good excuse. "Steward, what's wrong with the lord?" Is the wound open?Who is it that dares to hurt the prince?

"It's the wind and cold." Guanshi He replied lightly, seeing that Xia An's face improved a lot, but he said, "But in fact, many people in the mansion know that the state banquet, oh, was the day you were imprisoned by the princess. , The prince left the palace halfway, lost his state, the emperor was furious, and the next day he was arrested in the palace, and he was punished by thirty parties to calm down."

"Why do you think the emperor will suddenly give such a large reward for no reason. The emperor always gives a sweet date to eat with a stick."

Xia An's heart was turbulent. Before he found out about the prince's injury the night before, he obviously had several chances to see the prince, and he stayed alone for a long time, so he was so careless that he never noticed it.Thinking about it now, it seems that the lazy prince has never sat down in the past few days.He didn't notice such an obvious difference.

That night, knowing that the prince was injured, he still insisted on using that posture. In fact, he had more or less confidence in the prince's feelings for him, and wanted to test it out.Seeing that the prince persevered without complaining about the pain, the ice in Xia An's heart melted little by little.

But if he was taught to know at that time that the prince's injury was originally for him, he would never doubt the prince's feelings no matter what.

All the stewards of the courts came to greet the prince, although there were many people, they did not dare to speak loudly, even dared not breathe.The prince is usually irritable, but now that he is sick, his temper will definitely increase unabated. The prince refuses to see them, they are all secretly happy in their hearts, and no one wants to put their neck on the knife.

Xia An entered the yard and stretched her neck to look into the house, but the doors and windows were closed and she couldn't see anything.He knelt down and kowtowed very slowly, thinking quickly how to meet the prince.

Coincidentally, when Wei Huang came out to pour water, he saw Xia An get up slowly, his eyes lit up, and he lifted the curtain and went back to the room.Xia An tried to delay the time by talking to the steward next to him, hoping that someone who knew him would see him, but no one dared to stay in Tingfengyuan, Xia An couldn't say a few words, everyone left, and they kept No new greeters came in.

He had no choice but to go out until he was the only person left to pay his respects in the yard.At this time, Wei Huang chased up from behind, and said with a smile: "Young master, why are you going back, why don't you go into the house to see the prince?"

Xia Anxi said, "Can I go in?"

"Of course, the prince is waiting for you inside."
