I hide my concubine in a golden house

Chapter 20 Sugar

Raising her hand to wipe away the bitter tears, Su Tian looked at Quan Yu with sparkling eyes: "What is this?"

Quan Juan lowered his head, and slowly wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Sugar."

"Is it sugar? Why is it milky?" Su Tian's eyes were full of surprise, she had never eaten candy like this.

"A snack in the court of the Northern Ming Dynasty, maybe Qianqiu didn't have it, I'm not sure."

Su Tian licked her sweet lips, blinked her big eyes and looked at Quan Yu: "Is there any more?"

Quan Yan smiled, and slowly wiped away the brown medicine juice still remaining on Su Tian's lips with his thumb, "Your Highness, please don't be coquettish, I don't like this kind of thing."

"I didn't act like a baby!" Su Tian felt her face was burning badly, she wiped the corner of her lips with the back of her hand, and stared at Quan Juan dissatisfied.

Quan Juan shook the pitch-black medicine bowl in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and calmly said, "There's still half a bowl left."

As soon as Quan Juan finished speaking, Su Tian froze.

Xumi came to his senses again, and said straightly: "If I remember correctly, the son-in-law is also sick, right? Have you finished drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor? This is serious, but you can't just stop taking the medicine when you feel better. gone."

The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is so bitter, she doesn't believe that Quan Juan is not afraid to drink soup!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Quan Juan put down the medicine bowl, his expression slightly tired.

Quan Juan showed such a troubled expression, Su Tian thought that he was pinching Quan Juan by seven inches, she was amused, and waved her hands again and again: "Don't bother, don't bother, it's in the son-in-law's own territory, how can this be called trouble... ...Li Cao, hurry up and bring the concubine's medicine over."

You suffer and I suffer, and everyone suffers together. This is harmony.

"Your Highness, it takes an hour to boil the medicine," Li Cao silently reminded, "Do you want to wait here?"

Of course, it is necessary!Quan Yu just watched her make such a big joke, and she had to get back her money no matter what.Su Tian rested her chin on one hand, and said with a smile, "Well, I'll stay and drink medicine with my son-in-law for a few days... Anyway, the side hall of the Eight Phoenix Palace is still empty."

"I'm afraid that Piandian has wronged His Highness?" Quan Yu rubbed his temples with his fingertips, "Does Your Highness have nothing else to do recently?"

Seeing Quan Yu's refusal, Su Tian became more determined in her heart, and said again and again: "No, no, the son-in-law doesn't have to be too burdensome, taking care of the son-in-law is also one of the things I should do."

"..."

As a result, the son-in-law didn't even frown when he drank the medicine. Su Tian was very disappointed and didn't take it as a joke, but she still temporarily stayed in the Hall of the Eight Phoenix. What are you doing in it, and is there any change.

Quan Juan gave her some tranquilizing incense a few days ago, and she was not a fool, she knew something was wrong as soon as she thought about it.

After a few days, before Su Tian found any clues, the supervisory censors in the court couldn't get used to it, one by one, they sternly condemned her for being inappropriate, how could they hang out with the son-in-law every day.

Su Tian nestled in the Hall of Eight Phoenixes, carefully read the scriptures accusing her of indulging in masculinity, and felt quite reasonable, the son-in-law could indeed afford the word masculinity.

Su Tian drew a dog with a mouse in its mouth, thought about it and tore it up again, and asked Dong Zhi to pack up and move the house.

She has had enough watching in the Eight Phoenix Hall these few days. Quan Yi has been nesting in the Eight Phoenix Hall to grow flowers and feed the fish. She can live a whole day with a book in her hand. The days are more boring than the old grand master.

Does such a person really have ambitions?

Su Tian doesn't know.

The wind and cold came quickly but went slowly. After seven or eight days of tossing and turning, she finally managed to recover quickly.

"Your Highness, today is so good, don't you want to go out to bask in the sun?" Jiu Lixiang said while holding a handful of fresh and tender flowers that had roughly trimmed, carefully inserted them into the vase, and adjusted the flower branches.

Su Tian was lying on her stomach in front of the open window, with her chin resting on the back of her hand, her eyes were staring blankly, as if she was in a daze.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Seeing her in a daze, Jiu Lixiang stood behind her, pushed her shoulder, and called a few times cautiously.

Su Tian just came back to her senses, took out a flower and held it in her palm, smelled the fragrance of the flower, pinched the green flower stem with her white fingertips and played with it, with a lazy voice: "Huh? What did you just say, Jiu?"

Jiu Lixiang hurriedly moved the vase a little farther, and reminded Su Tian: "Your Highness, there are still some small thorns on this flower, please don't prick your hands again."

"Ah Jiu, I'm not a child anymore." Su Tian turned the flower branch, and her pure white nails were pinched into the flower path, stained with light green juice: "Look, how beautiful this color is."

"Yes, yes, this servant girl knows that His Highness is not a child anymore, but this flower has many thorns, and the top has not been repaired yet, Your Highness, you should return it..."

Before Jiu Lixiang finished speaking, a soft cry and a series of painful cries suddenly sounded from the side.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

A sharp thorn pierced into the pulp of the finger, and the oozing blood stained the light-colored petals, adding a touch of color.

"Your Highness." Jiulixiang hurriedly grabbed Su Tian's fingers, carefully took the flower from Su Tian's hand, pinched the finger pulp that was pierced with a little force, and said angrily, "How many times do you say this is the first time you have done this?" gone."

Always disobedient, always getting hurt.

Su Tian smiled guiltyly: "My good Jiu, don't be angry, I will make it up to you."

Jiu Lixiang sighed: "Your Highness, you do this every time."

As he said that, he beckoned to the waiting maid to fetch a silver needle, passed it over the candlelight, and pulled Su Tian's finger to prick her.

"Well, it hurts." Su Tian frowned and cried out for pain, the fingers held by Jiu Lixiang kept shrinking back.

"Your Highness, don't move. The servant should be gentle. The thorn must be picked out."

Picking out the small thorns for Su Tian, ​​Jiu Lixiang picked up the flower that was just placed on the table, cut off all the small thorns on the branch with small scissors, polished it again, and then put it in Su Tian sweet hands.

Su Tian turned her hands around to pierce the bare flower branches, and a few small flowers bloomed on the bare branches, as if they had lost their vitality.

Su Tian sighed suddenly: "If you like something, do you have to break its thorns?"

"What did you say, Your Highness?" The question was too profound, and Jiu Lixiang didn't understand what His Highness wanted to express.

"It's nothing." Su Tian shook her head slightly and said, "Ah Jiu, I'm a little thirsty. I want to drink warm milk with wild honey."

"Yes, my servant is going to warm up the cup of milk, and then let someone go to the small kitchen to bring some small plates of snacks for His Highness. The servant just made it this morning."

"Okay." Su sweetly nodded.

"Mujin, go and get..." Jiu Lixiang turned around, and before he could give an order, someone came in from the outside.

A person wearing a blue-gray eunuch uniform came in from the outside, saluted, and bowed to Su Tian: "His Royal Highness."
