marry a princess

Chapter 294

Not long after breakfast on the second day, Yuan Hongyi and Yuan Hongjin set off for Jiangnan.The Empress Dowager was concerned about her body, so she specially asked Mammy Xi to carry her things, and came with Imperial Doctor Zhang to take her pulse, left a prescription, and gave some instructions before leaving.

As soon as the two left, Bai Ziwan lifted the quilt and got out of bed, wiped her face with cold water, went to the edge of the bed and sat down, took a sip of tea from Su Yan, held it in her hand, and looked at the window , eyes clear, complexion as usual, where there is a trace of weakness.

"Miss……"

Bai Ziwan looked at Su Yan. What she has seen and experienced in the past few years here is far beyond her imagination, and she is not surprised by many things. Yesterday, she was shocked by a pill.A seemingly unremarkable medicine bowl can make a normal person feel like a gossamer in just a short while.

Seeing Bai Ziwan looking at him, but not saying a word for a long time, Su Yan's eyes jumped, and then he raised her hand, felt for her pulse, and frowned for a moment, "Miss, are you really okay? Do you want me to ask you?" Doctor Liang is here to show you."

Dr. Zhang Yu is a veteran minister in the imperial court with excellent medical skills, but she is still worried about accepting him.The medicine is too overbearing, if ordinary people take it, if there is no antidote, they will collapse and die, not to mention pregnant women, it is lucky that it did not hurt the young lady and the baby in her womb, she still dare not be careless.

"Do you think I look bad?" You teacup, Bai Ziwan got up and turned around on the spot, patted her on the shoulder, "How much do you have for that medicine?"

Su Yan's eyes twitched, and he took a small step back instinctively, "Miss Yao must not take any more, otherwise it will hurt the baby in the womb, and your life is also in danger."

Bai Ziwan laughed, "Why are you nervous? I'm just asking casually. It happened suddenly yesterday... I won't gamble with myself and the baby in my womb. It's just that I have to continue to finish the play." .” It seems that she will not be able to go out for a while.

I was speechless for a moment.After a long time, Su Yan said, "Miss, that maid Min'er is from Wang's palace, why should she help you?"

This is exactly what she was puzzled about.Bai Ziwan walked up to the bed and stood there. After a while, he turned around and said, "Su Yan, try to find out who Min'er is for me."

Near noon, I heard someone coming in from outside the house to report. A pair of beggar brothers and sisters came from outside the house. They said that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Their house was destroyed and their relatives were killed in the flood. , wanting to find an errand first, so he came to Ningqing Palace.Prince Ningqing's mansion has always had strict self-discipline, and the guards at the gate would not agree, but the two brothers and sisters refused to leave. They could not afford to kneel outside the mansion, and had no choice but to come in and ask for instructions.

Bai Ziwan thought for a while, and said, "Su Yan, go out and see what's going on, give me some money, and don't let them hurt others."

Su Yan agreed, went out of the house, and came back in a short time.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Ziwan quickly lay down on the bed, weak and weak.

Seeing it was plain words, Bai Ziwan sat up and said, "How is it?"

"They said they wanted to see Miss, so I brought them in." Su Yan turned sideways and said, "You two come in."

How did you bring them in?Surprised, Bai Ziwan lay down again, pretending to be sick, waiting to see the two people who came in.They were dressed in rags, in a state of distress, and exuded an unpleasant smell, but their eyes were clear, with a trace of coldness.

"You are……"

The two looked at each other indiscriminately, and the woman knelt down with a plop, moved to the side of the bed, grabbed Bai Ziwan's hand and said, "Wangfei said, the flood in my hometown, the house at home has been washed away, and my parents and siblings are all dead. , I escaped by luck by going out with my brother. I couldn’t stay in my hometown, so I came to the capital with my brother, hoping to find a job in the capital to support myself.”

"Are you brothers and sisters?" Bai Ziwan glanced at the man, but didn't take out his hand, letting the woman grab it.

"Yes."

"Jiangnan is far away from the capital, why did you come to the capital all the way? You can go to the nearest county to find a way out."

The woman said, "I originally wanted to go to Xiangyang County, but... I beg the princess to accept my brother and me." After finishing speaking, she kowtowed to Bai Ziwan.

"Get up." Seeing the woman looking at him motionless, her eyes glowing with broken light, Bai Ziwan was moved with compassion, and said, "It happens that there are two people missing in my yard, so you can stay temporarily. I don't want you either." If you sign a contract of sale, you can leave anytime you want."

"Miss……"

Bai Ziwan raised his hand to interrupt Su Yan, and ordered, "Su Yan, you take them down to take a bath first, and you find clean clothes for this girl and send them over. Then ask Zhang He to find clean clothes for this young man. Change." I thought it was someone sent by Ling Xiaoyi, but now it seems that it is not.

But... I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong for a while.

"Princess..." Concubine Tang led Hanhan in, followed by Caiyi, two maids in her room, and a nanny.

"Why is sister here?" Bai Ziwan asked weakly.

"Yesterday, I heard that the princess had a fall. I wanted to come over to have a look, but I was afraid of disturbing the princess, so I delayed my visit until now. Princess, are you okay?"

Bai Ziwan gave an encouraging smile, "Sister Lao is concerned, but fortunately the imperial doctor came in time... It doesn't matter if I fall, it will be fine if I hurt the baby in my belly."

Concubine Tang smiled and said, "The princess is kind, so she is naturally blessed by the emperor. I was really shocked when I heard about it yesterday. Now I see that the princess is safe and sound, so I feel relieved."

Bai Ziwan smiled and said nothing more.

Concubine Tang patted Hanhan, pointed at Bai Ziwan, and said, "Hanhan, didn't you say that you have something for concubine mother?"

Hanhan turned her head to look at Concubine Tang, and walked to the bed, "Concubine Mother..."

Holding a small sachet in Xiaoxiao's hand, Bai Ziwan took it over and looked at it, embroidering a colorful butterfly on one side and auspicious clouds on the other, the embroidery technique is immature.Bai Ziwan propped up her hands and slowly sat up, leaning against the bed rail, and said, "Did Hanhan embroider this for my concubine?"

Han Han said, "Han Han once took Mother Concubine's sachet, so I want to embroider one for Mother Concubine myself. I hope Mother Concubine likes it."

"I like it, I like it." Bai Ziwan smiled.

Hanhan smiled, stepped back and stood in front of Concubine Tang.

"Yes, my sister has been here for a long time, but I haven't invited my sister to sit down yet. Caiyi, hurry up and move a stool in." Seeing Tang Concubine standing all the time, Bai Ziwan said as if waking up from a dream.

After Caiyi moved the stool and came in, Concubine Tang sat down and said, "I heard that the princess wants to keep the two beggar brothers and sisters outside the door, but is it true? If there is no one around the concubine, I will send the one I choose. Outside The people in the house are not as good as the people in the house.”

"What my sister said is true." Bai Ziwan said, "I originally wanted to trouble my sister, but thinking about the years when my master left, many people in the house left, and I still have to go outside to choose. I have to take care of my sister, how can I make trouble for my sister? I just met the brother and sister, and it looks okay. As for the others, we can observe and observe."

"So, it's up to the princess." Changing the subject, Concubine Tang said, "My lord is going to the south of the Yangtze River on business. If the wangfei needs anything, just tell me."

"Sister said so, then I will not be polite."

"Miss, Concubine He, Concubine Qi, Concubine Liu, they are here to see you." Su Yan came in from the outside and replied.

"Invite them in quickly."

Concubine He, Concubine Qi, Concubine Liu and others came in to salute, and then ordered the maids to hand over the things they had prepared to Su Yan.

This time Caiyi learned to be smart, and before Bai Ziwan could order, she brought in a stool and invited them to sit down.The screen divides the room into two, and now that there are too many people, it naturally looks cramped.Bai Ziwan frowned secretly, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Concubine He looked at Concubine Tang, and said with a smile, "Didn't my sister say that I came to visit Princess Wang together? Why didn't you say anything when you came here?"

Concubine Tang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "I... I forgot."

"It doesn't matter if you forget this, but don't forget other things as well." Concubine He looked at Bai Ziwan, "The prince is worried about the little prince in the concubine's belly, and the concubine has to be more careful in the future. Don't fall down again."

"Thank you sister for reminding me."

After talking for a while, they dispersed.Su Yan led the two brothers and sisters in. After washing, the two looked brand new, and the coldness in their eyes was even worse.

Bai Ziwan ordered, "Su Yan, let Caiyi tidy up the two rooms for them to live in first, tell them about the rules in the mansion, and then go buy them a change of clothes and come back later."

"Yes, Miss." Su Yan said to the two, "Come with me."

Seeing the two standing still and staring at him blankly, Bai Ziwan was surprised, "What's the matter? Do you have something else to say?"

"Wangfei really let the two of us stay? Are you not afraid that we have other plans, which will be bad for you?" the man asked.

Bai Ziwan was taken aback by the question, she just wanted to help them tide over the difficulties temporarily, she didn't think so much.Hearing him say that, her decision seemed really arbitrary.But seeing their clear eyes, she said, "If you really want to harm me, how can you say it yourself?"

The man didn't change his face, and said lightly, "Some people do tell things sometimes in order to gain the trust of others. The truth is also false and sometimes the false is true.

Bai Ziwan smiled and said, "People can tell lies, but their eyes and expressions can't lie. Even people who are good at hiding will always show their feet."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, saluted, and said respectfully, "Leng Shuo, Leng Ling, I have met Miss."

Bai Ziwan was taken aback for a moment, but then realized, got out of bed, helped the two of them up, and smiled, "I don't have so many rules here, so I don't need to salute."

The two agreed, but did not dare to neglect.In order to conceal their identities, they disguised themselves all the way, and deliberately pretended to be beggars when they arrived in the capital. People who saw them avoided them as if they were hiding from the plague.And this lady didn't mind at all.

"This is passed on to the young lady by the master's subordinates."

Bai Ziwan took the letter and looked at it, then looked at Leng Shuo, "You really are brothers and sisters? Since you were sent by your uncle, why..."

Leng Lingdao, "Brother was originally the owner's most valued disciple. He was proud and arrogant. When he learned that the owner wanted us to protect Miss, brother..." She knelt down suddenly, "We didn't intend to test Miss. If Miss is angry, Forgive brother, punish me alone."

She spoke vaguely, but she already understood.I'm afraid they agreed because they were forced to do so. In the temptation just now, if she made a wrong word, they would rather go against Ling Xiaoyi than stay.Bai Ziwan smiled softly, "Did I say anyone to be punished? Get up."

"Miss Xie, thank you for your kindness."
