Chapter 230 Portrait (3)
"After a long time, the scent of the medicine will never fade away. In addition, the young lady never leaves the mansion, and she seldom shows up in the mansion. Therefore, it is confirmed that the young lady has a serious illness." Shi Mo said, "Later, the old Hou Ye and The eldest son is also worried, afraid that the young lady will one day come back and find it difficult to marry due to the disease that has been spread, but I didn't expect the second son Zheng to be..."

"Has he returned home?" Xie Fanghua interrupted Shi Mo's words and asked.

Shi Mo shook his head, "I haven't returned to the mansion yet, and I'm still in Shizi's courtyard, Shizi is competing with him in martial arts."

Xie Fanghua looked up at the sky and frowned, "How long are they going to compete?"

Shi Hua and Shi Mo shook their heads together, "Just now we walked past Zhilan Garden, Shizi and Second Young Master Zheng are in high spirits, I'm afraid they won't rest until noon."

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Miss, although it's almost spring now, it's still cold on the rock, don't sit for a long time, you'd better move to another place!" A gust of wind blew and it was a bit cold, Shi Hua suggested.

Xie Fanghua stood up slowly, "Then go back to the room!"

The two supported him, one from the left and the other from the right, and walked towards the main room.

As soon as he returned to the main room, the servant hurried over from the outer courtyard, stood at the door, and said in a low voice, "Miss, the Dachang Princess Mansion has just sent you a greeting card, inviting you to have tea at the Dachang Princess Manor."

Xie Fanghua was startled, and asked, "When?"

"This afternoon!" The servant replied.

Xie Fanghua frowned, "Aren't the invitations from each mansion usually posted a few days in advance? How come the invitations from the Dachang Princess's mansion are sent on the same day?"

The servant quickly whispered, "Miss, you haven't been in the capital these years, so you don't know anything. The eldest princess is different from other ladies in the mansion. She always does things on the spur of the moment. If she is in a good mood, she will suddenly do something impromptu." , and feel that my mansion is lively and boring, so I will immediately invite some guests to have fun together."

"So, she has been posting impromptu posts all these years?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.

The waiter nodded, "That's right."

"Have you told your grandfather and elder brother about this?" Xie Fanghua hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I've reported it!" The servant said quickly, "Old Hou Ye said that the young lady can go if she wants to go, and she can't go if she doesn't want to go." After a pause, he continued, "When I passed away, the son was fighting with the second son Zheng. After hearing about this, he said that since it was invited by the Eldest Princess, you have not been integrated into the circle of noble ladies in Beijing for many years, if you are not feeling unwell today, you can go for a turn around. The son is fine today, so he can go with you."

Xie Fanghua thought for a moment when she heard the words, and said, "Which mansion did the eldest princess post to today?"

"I haven't inquired yet!" The waiter shook his head.

"Go and inquire, come back and tell me, and I will make a decision." Xie Fanghua waved his hand.

The waiter nodded and walked down immediately.

Sitting on the side of the beauty, Xie Fanghua was quietly thinking about the intentions of the eldest princess today. She met at the Sun Palace banquet the other day, and she didn't think that the eldest princess was the kind of princess who was pampered and raised by the royal family and knew nothing about wind and rain.Even if there is some casualness in temperament that is different from ordinary ladies, she is not a simple character.

For the eldest princess, she couldn't say that she liked it from the bottom of her heart.After all, it was because of this woman that her aunt married away to Beiqi instead of her.Northern Qi, which is farther than going to Mobei.

It is said that my aunt was willing to go!But in the end, he left home and left the hometown where he lived since he was a child.

Half an hour later, the servant came to Haitang Garden again, and said in a low voice, "Miss Hui, I found out that the eldest princess's mansion has set up a drinking order for poetry competitions today. We have invited the wives and ladies from the mansions of officials above the third rank in the middle of the capital. Miss Li Rubi from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Lu Xueying from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Lu Xueyan from the Fanyang Lu Family, Miss Yan Lan from the Yongkang Hou Mansion, and the Minister of Justice's Mansion..."

"Go back and push the greeting card!" Xie Fanghua waved his hand without interest when he heard this.

"Miss is not going?" the servant asked softly.

Xie Fanghua gave a "hmm".

The servant nodded, and was about to leave when a young man guarding the gate came in a hurry, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

The young man stopped immediately, and said to the servant, "County Qin Lian from the palace is here, and he wants to see Miss."

The servant was startled, and turned to look at Xie Fanghua in the room.

Xie Fanghua naturally heard it clearly, smiled, and said to the outside, "It just so happens that when you go back to the greeting card from the Dachang Princess' Mansion, it says that Princess Qin Lian is here as a guest. I don't have time today. When you are in good health and have free time, go to the eldest princess's mansion to sit."

The servant nodded and waved to the young servant, the young servant understood, and the two hurried out of Haitang Garden.

"Shi Hua, go and invite Princess Qin Lian in." Xie Fanghua instructed Shi Hua.

The waiter responded and hurried out.

Xie Fanghua thought for a while, and ordered Shi Mo, "Go and bring a bowl of soup and medicine. Is there any pine pollen in the house? Put some in it."

Shi Mo was taken aback, "Our small kitchen has always prepared soup and medicine, I'll go and bring it to Miss. There is also pine pollen, but Shizi said that Miss is sensitive to pine pollen..."

"I want you to get it because I'm sensitive to Songhua powder!" Xie Fanghua smiled, "Facing Qin Lian, I can't take the medicine that causes palpitations and heartaches to deal with her. But I can't look like this. If she knew about it, she would not be able to hide it from those close to her. For example, the queen, or Qin Yu who is far away in Mobei. We must find a way."

"My maidservant will go down and get it for you." Si Mo understood, and hurriedly walked to the small kitchen.

Xie Fanghua stood up, took out a chessboard from the cabinet, put it on the table, spread out the chessboard, and played alone.

Not long after, Shi Mo brought a bowl of decoction and put it on the table. As soon as the decoction was put down, the room was filled with the smell of medicine.

Xie Fanghua frowned.

Shi Mo glanced at Xie Fanghua, opened the paper bag in his hand, sprinkled some pine pollen into the soup, and mixed it thoroughly with chopsticks.He said softly, "The soup is warm, Miss, would you like some?"

Xie Fanghua nodded, broke the medicine bowl, took two sips, and put it down gently.

Shi Mo looked at Xie Fanghua's face with good eyes.As soon as the decoction entered her mouth, in the blink of an eye, a layer of fine red bumps formed on her face and neck, which was no less pale than ghostly paleness at the palace banquet that day.Startled, she blurted out, "Miss..."

"It's okay, it will fade away in half a day!" Xie Fanghua shook his head.

Shi Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Fanghua took a side veil and covered her face. Through the veil, she could vaguely see the chessboard. She continued to play with the chess pieces.

It was extremely quiet inside and outside the house.

After a while, Shi Hua led Qin Lian to Haitang Garden.

Xie Fanghua raised her head when she heard the footsteps, and saw that Qin Lian was wearing a beautiful embroidered skirt today. It was not the gorgeous palace attire that she wore in the palace, but it was also high-quality silk and satin. She didn't bring too many Zhuchai jewelry, which was not too heavy.She didn't even wear the clothes of a little eunuch, so she obviously didn't sneak out of the palace. She looked away and waited for her to enter the house.
