Chapter 26(1/2)
Doctor Xu would go to the Weiyuan Hou Mansion to take the pulse of Xiaoman. A few days later, he dragged a large bag of herbs and began to let Xiaoman take a medicine bath.
Xiaoman frowned, his expression was a little distorted, and he asked reluctantly: "Will I be full of pain? They don't want to stand with me anymore?"
When Zhou Gongyu heard this, he couldn't bear to laugh.
Although he couldn't go to Xiaoman again, he still made excuses to play chess with Jiang Susi every day, which was more frequent than when he visited Jiang Hengzhi.
Rumors gradually emerged in the court, and people speculated whether he would reuse people from the Weiyuan Hou lineage.
Princess Lingyang stole Zhou Gongyu for a long time, but he couldn't take a look. Instead, a little girl who came out of nowhere caught his heart away.
After thinking about it, she always felt uneasy and insisted on seeing what good things are for the prince to care about and why she can compare with her.
Xiaoman stayed well in the mansion, and sat in his yard every day to plant flowers and grass, but it was not affected.
Only Jiang thoughts silently endured everything.
He was not good at chess skills, so the prince deliberately gave in when playing chess with him, so he could naturally notice these things.
Princess Lingyang also wanted to follow him, pointing at the chessboard, and shouting: "Can you play chess? Brother Prince has given way to you like this. Look at your move... You can't do this! You can't put it here!"
When the woman leaned over, the fragrance of powder was close to the tip of her nose, and the cold hair accidentally swept across Jiang Susi's cheek.
"My brother is nine years old, and he is better than you!"
Zhou Gongyu raised his eyes lightly, looked at Jiang Susi, who was blushing, and said with a smile: "Lingyang is joking, don't take it to heart."
Jiang Susi pressed his head down even lower, "The princess is right, she is indeed playing chess skills..."
He even wanted to beg Xiaoman to take the prince away, but he really didn't want to play chess anymore.
When Zhou Gongyu wanted to return to the palace to handle political affairs, Princess Lingyang still relied on the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion and refused to leave.
Jiang Susi was originally worried that Ling Yang would not love him, so he felt jealous and embarrassed Xiaoman. After thinking of the two people Zhou Gongyu inserted into Xiaoman's yard, he silently gave up his concerns.
When Lingyang found Xiaoman, she was rolling up her sleeves to water the flowers and plants in the yard. Her tender white face turned slightly red by the sun, like a crabapple that could not be opened on the branches.
"Hey, whose daughter you are, and how did you know the prince?"
Ling Yang stood in front of the yard with his head high and in red dress.
Xiaoman stood up, raised his hand to cover the sunlight, and said "ah" in confusion.
"Where are you from the wild girl?
He is so rude, can't speak?" Lingyang's eyebrows were twisted together when he smelled the bitter medicine in the yard.
He walked straight to the stone table under the crabapple tree and sat down, and flipped through the books on the table.
Xiaoman heard Jiang Ruoruo talk about Princess Lingyang, but he didn't expect that she would really come to find her.
"I came from Yizhou and was picked up by Brother Han from the Jiang family."
She spoke frankly, and her tone was inexplicably proud, as if it was something amazing to be picked up by someone halfway.
Ling Yang frowned when he heard this and asked, "Did you pick it up?"
Then how did you meet the prince?"
Xiaoman: "He may have recognized the wrong person."
Lingyang: "…"
This was taught by Han Shi. If someone recognizes it, there is no need to admit it.
But obviously Lingyang didn't believe it.
She snorted coldly and withdrew her gaze, and casually flipped through Xiaoman's book.
"Fangfeilu, are there people who read this kind of book and have fun?"
Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Ling Yang asked impatiently: "What do you want to say?"
"Have the princess read Fangfei's Records?
How many women in the capital have read this book?”
She was a little expectant. Before coming to Beijing, she never thought that a book would spread so far from Yizhou.
"You asked so much, are you writing this book?"
Ling Yang said casually, but Xiaoman did not answer and said suspiciously: "This book came from Yizhou. You are also from Yizhou. Could it be that it is you?"
Xiaoman waved his hand: "No, it's a friend of mine. She is a doctor. I'm just helping with the input."
This is humble. Dr. Ye’s granddaughter is basically equal to her contributions, and in the end she is unwilling to add her own name.
After receiving Xiaoman's answer, Lingyang still didn't believe it.
At first she thought that the book was compiled by an older woman, but who would have thought it was just a delicate little girl?
"It's you?"
When Jiang Ruoruo, who was about to enter the yard, heard this, he immediately said: "Xiaoman will not lie, she does have a copy of this book."
Ling Yang glanced at her in surprise, put the book back to its original position, and walked out without saying a word.
Jiang Ruoruo was surprised and approached Xiaoman and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"She is here to ask the prince, and I don't know why she left suddenly again."
Xiaoman was also confused, but he couldn't hide his joy on his face.
"Fortunately, this book has really been passed on to the capital, and it has not been in vain for me to spend so long."
After leaving Xiaoman's yard, the lingering bitterness disappeared.
Lingyang's maid asked her: "Why did the princess leave suddenly just now?"
Ling Yang snorted coldly, his eyes and eyebrows were full of arrogance: "I am a sick person, I don't want to care about her as much as I care about her."
I believe that people will not be too bad if they can write such a book. They are much better than Jiang Yuefu. They pretend to behave all day long and are still daydreaming for the Crown Princess.
Even if the prince brother looks down on me, he can't afford this little bitch Jiang Yuefu."
The maid echoed: "The princess said very well."
"And Jiang Si Si, who played so badly, actually wanted to participate in this year's spring exam, which was ridiculous."
——
The yard tasted too strong, and Xiaoman's clothes were covered with a faint bitter taste.
Jiang Ruoru wanted to go out to buy some rouge powder, so he simply brought Xiaoman to buy new clothes together.
The prosperity of the capital is incomparable to Bajun. Jiang Ruoruo felt it was fresh and almost looked at all the shops in the entire street market.
Xiaoman followed her, but she was always a little confused.
She pulled Jiang Ruoruo's sleeve: "Ruoru, do you think it's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Ruoruo found a good clothing shop and was about to walk in.
Xiaoman looked back: "I always feel that someone is following us."
Jiang Ruoruo was stunned and looked around.
"Nothing, don't think too much about it.
I just saw a good piece of material. I bought it to make a summer skirt for you?"
Xiaoman hesitated for a moment and still nodded.
When he turned around, someone gently hit his shoulder, and the woman's scream and the sound of something falling to the ground came from beside him.
Jiang Ruoruo held the woman with a big belly firmly and said, "Madam, is there anything wrong?"
A woman has a bun with flowers on her hair, and her slender willow eyebrows are curved gently, with a full charm.
"Nothing is wrong, thank you for this girl."
After she said that, she was going to lean over to pick up the fallen cloth and rouge.
Xiaoman picked it up first and smiled and said, "Where is the madam? If no one is with you, will we send you back?"
Jiang Ruoru looked at her clothes and was obviously not affordable by ordinary people, but she went out alone when she was pregnant.
She couldn't help but wonder, but still nodded in agreement with Xiaoman: "We'll give it to you in this way. It's really inconvenient to hold these things."
Besides, she also brought a maid, so there must be nothing wrong.
The woman smiled softly and said gratefully: "I'll thank you two girls. My residence is not far from here, and half a stick of incense will arrive."
Several people walked towards the woman's residence together, but Xiaoman still felt that someone was following him. He looked back and looked at him a few times, but couldn't find any strangeness.
"How many months are you pregnant now?
How could you go out alone?”
Jiang Ruoruo and the woman talked.
