Tanhualang

Maybe Cao Xiaoyu is really a quiet lucky star.On the second day after she arrived in the capital, Shen Jing's illness recovered. Although she still couldn't get out of bed, at least she no longer had a fever.

In the morning, Cao Xiaoyu cooks again.Seeing that Shen Jing had no appetite, Cao Xiaoyu brought Pan Xiaozhou and asked him to eat with Shen Jing.While coaxing Xiao Zhou, Shen Jing unknowingly ate half a bowl of porridge and went in.

After dinner, Cao Xiaoyu helped Xiaomeng clear the table, hugged Pan Xiaozhou to sleep, and said to Shen Jing: "No matter how much, if you can eat, you will not be far away."

"That's right." Xiao Meng walked towards the kitchen while putting the dishes in the basin, "A few days ago, my husband didn't eat any rice, and seeing him lose weight like this frightened me. Fortunately, my eldest sister came yesterday. Otherwise, I don't know what to do."

After speaking, he walked out holding the bowl and chopsticks.

Cao Xiaoyu told Shen Jing to rest, and followed Pan Xiaozhou in her arms. She didn't ask Xiao Meng until she entered the kitchen, "Ah Jing has been sick since then, and hasn't eaten?"

"No." Xiaomeng put down the dishes and explained, "It was late when the husband came back on the night of snowing. The next morning I saw no movement in his room, so I thought he had slept, so I went to Called him, at that time he was already in a fever—I must have had a fever the night before. I was so frightened that I hurried to invite a doctor, and prescribed a prescription, but the medicine was decocted and I couldn’t eat it. Mr. The burns were all scabies, and I frowned in pain when I touched something. The scorching blisters did not get any better until the day you came, big sister. ——In just three or four days, I lost weight just looking at Mr. Out of shape."

"What kind of crime did you suffer..." Cao Xiaoyu shook her head, "This illness won't last for ten days or half a month, I'm afraid it won't get better."

While boiling hot water, Xiaomeng said to Cao Xiaoyu, "Since the eldest sister is here, let's stay for two more days. Once the husband is seriously ill, and I don't know how to cook, I'm really afraid to take care of him alone." Not good. Secondly, there are only the husband and I in this yard, so it is really deserted."

Cao Xiaoyu put Pan Xiaozhou on the ground, poured hot water into the pot to rinse the bowls and chopsticks, nodded and said: "Ah Jing looks like this, even if you tell me to go now, I don't feel at ease."

Thinking of the way she cried bitterly that day, she still feels agitated in her heart—but she dared not ask more questions.

The two were talking when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Xiao Meng hurriedly wiped his hands and went out, then ran back to the kitchen door: "Sister, General Xi is here to see you again."

Cao Xiaoyu hurriedly wiped her hands and went out, and sure enough, Xi Wei came again, with two servants behind him carrying large bags and an old man with a white beard: "Hello, big sister. How is Shen Jing? The more I think about it, the more worried I become." , so I invited Mr. Fang to feel Shen Jing's pulse and test the prescription."

Cao Xiaoyu hurriedly thanked the other party, and led them to the quiet room.

Pushing open the door, Shen Jing got up when she heard the movement.

I slept all night yesterday, and my complexion is obviously better this morning than yesterday.Xi Wei let Mr. Fang in and took Shen Jing's pulse first.This old Mr. Fang took his pulse carefully, asked about his condition carefully, looked at his calm face and tongue coating, and finally said: "It is indeed a symptom of wind-cold."

When Xi Wei heard this, he felt relieved a little: "It's good that it's fine. The way he looked yesterday scared me to death."

Mr. Fang stroked his beard, and said again: "The fever lasted for four or five days, and the attack was so severe, I'm afraid it hurt your vitality. You have to take it slowly for a while before you get better."

Xi Wei asked Shen Jing again after hearing the words: "Over there at the Imperial Academy, please take a few more days off, and we'll talk after we rest."

Shen Jing nodded: "Understood. Please miss me."

"You're welcome." Xi Wei said with a smile, "This trip back to Jiangnan, I brought a lot of things back. I didn't have time to pack them up on the way. I went back yesterday to pick them up and brought some for you. Look carefully when you're ready. Look, there's a lot of fun."

Turning to Cao Xiaoyu again, he said, "Elder Sister, those things with red paper on them are beneficial things. I'll trouble you to make them later and eat them."

Cao Xiaoyu smiled and nodded.

Shen Jing leaned against the head of the bed, eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you very much."

"Why do you need to see outsiders?" Xi Wei said and got up, "Take care of yourself, I'll send Mr. Fang back first. I'll see you later."

Just as Xi Wei was sent away, Lu Meng and Yu Zhijing were welcomed again to visit Shen Jing's condition.

Seeing Shen Jing's appearance, the two were also quite surprised: "How come you are so skinny after only four or five days of hard work?"

Shen Jing turned her head and coughed a few times, turned her head and explained with a smile: "I had a fever two days ago, and I couldn't eat much. It's much better these two days. Not to mention the delay in business, I still have to work hard for you to come to visit."

The two of them didn't stay for a long time, they sat down for a while, got up to leave after saying a few words, and before leaving, told Shen Jing: "Don't take business matters to heart. Bachelor Fang also said when you came, I want you to rest at home , it’s all right, let’s go back.”

Just as they were sent away, Sun Ping and Cao Feng came again.

Shen Jing felt more and more uneasy: "Why do you have to work for you two?"

"Yesterday, I went to the Imperial Academy to discuss with you the matter of exchanging salt for food, and then I found out that you are sick." Sun Ping saw, "It turned out that I drank with Cao Feng last night, and I heard from him that His Highness has also been sick these few days. So we went to visit His Highness first, and then came to see you."

Hearing Shen Jing's words, she couldn't help but lowered her eyes, raised her head after a while, and asked reluctantly, "How is your Highness?"

"It's still an old problem, and my knee hurts when I get a cold. Xiaoyou said that it has been three or four days since the needle was inserted, and it is much better." Sun Ping said, "But he still has a cold, but he doesn't have a fever, but he has a bad cough. Look at him. We were very angry, and we didn't stay too long, we came out after sitting for a while."

"You don't have to worry about His Highness." Cao Feng continued, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard? It's proper to take care of yourself first."

Shen Jing said: "I'm fine. It's just that I had a fever two days ago and couldn't eat. I'm much better these two days."

The two sat for a while and then left.

Cao Xiaoyu went out to see off the guests, leaving Shen Jing alone, leaning against the head of the bed in a daze.Before finishing his thoughts, he heard the door ring again, he turned his head to look, and saw Cao Xiaoyu coming in, followed by Xiaoyou.

Seeing Shen Jing, Xiao You frowned and said, "Why did you make it look like this?"

Shen Jing supported the head of the bed to get up, but was grabbed by Xiao You: "Don't get up."

"Why are you here?" Shen Jing said, "Your Highness is still sick, how can you be away from people around you?"

It happened that Xiao Meng brought tea in and put it on the table.Xiaoyou took a sip of tea, then sighed, and said: "Did Sun Ping and Cao Feng leave your place just now? When Sun Ping and Cao Feng came here in the morning, they found out that you were also sick. Your Highness has been so annoyed these days Very, this morning I heard Sun Ping say that you are recuperating at home, and I am even more restless. I won't wink anymore, and I know I have to come and see you, otherwise I'm afraid there will be trouble again when I turn around."

Hearing the words, Shen Jing lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before saying in a shy voice, "I...it's not worth your Highness's trouble."

Xiaoyou sighed again: "Whether it's worth it or not, you and I don't care. Your Highness has his own calculations."

After speaking, he frowned and looked at Shen Jing: "You look like this, I don't know how to explain to His Highness when I go back."

"Two days ago, I had a high fever and had a blistering mouth, so I couldn't eat." Shen Jing explained, "It's much better in the past two days. I ate a lot last night and this morning."

"It's good if you can eat it." Xiao Xiao nodded, and asked again, "Is the one you met in the yard just now, is your god-sister?"

"Exactly." Shen Jing nodded, "I just arrived with Xi Wei yesterday."

"Where do you live now?"

"The two of them are living in the East Wing for the time being."

"Those two rooms, I'm afraid it's cold?"

"Xiaomeng asked someone to install a heater, and it's okay." Shen Jing said, "I thought that when the elder sister came, I would ask their mothers to live here, and I would find another place to live. But now that I am sick, When I was about to be taken care of by someone, I couldn't take care of it for a while. Wait until the illness is cured, and then make plans."

Xiao Youdao: "In such a cold day, what other good plans are there? Isn't that new courtyard a ready-made residence? When His Highness asked me to buy it, your name was written on the land deed and house deed. Now it is naturally your."

Shen Jing heard the words, shook her head and smiled wryly: "I have such a thick skin, where do I want to live?"

Xiao You heard the words and shook his head: "You two... oh, why bother? Anyway, you both have each other in your heart, so why bother with each other? It hurts and hurts in vain."

Shen Jing was silent for a long time, and said with drooping eyes, "That day... I was indeed in a daze to say that."

"Since I feel that I have made a mistake, I will go back and make amends with His Highness, say a few soft words, and the matter will be over. His Highness has been out of his mind these two days, and I'm afraid he is waiting for you to coax him." Xiao You persuaded He said, "Your Highness has treated you with all his heart and soul. In all these years, His Highness has never contradicted His Majesty like this because of anything. If you lower your head a little, what's the point?"

Hearing the words, Shen Jing was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I won't hide it from you... When I came back that night, I really regretted and hated in my heart. What I regretted was impulsive, and what I hated was that I said what I said at that time. If you decide."

He sighed: "But these days, after thinking about it over and over again, I feel that... it's not as good as this."

Xiaoyou was about to speak when he heard the words, but Shen Jing raised his hand to stop him: "Listen to me."

He coughed a few times, and then slowly said: "I think you also know what the Holy Majesty is thinking... Your Highness's future is limitless. Since the Holy Majesty has made such a decision, the matter of His Highness marrying a concubine is a matter of great importance to the country. , will never change."

Xiao You heard the words and nodded silently: "This matter... To be honest, I also think there is not much room for it. I am afraid that it will be inevitable for you to be wronged in the future."

Shen Jing smiled wryly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I don't care about my own reputation. Your Highness will be the king of a country in the future, but I have to be wary of what others say."

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Two... I know my temperament, and I am determined not to be able to bear this matter. I can bear it for a while, but I won't be able to bear it forever. If this is the case, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."
