Chapter 12(1/2)
As soon as a red glow hung on the sky, news came from the front yard.
The prince had dinner in Jinheyuan today.
Zhou Yun was not surprised. This was the second day after she entered the mansion. If Fu Yun didn't enter her yard, that would be the real slap in the face.
As soon as the person who was passing the message left, Zhou Yun ordered someone to go to the kitchen to pass on the meal.
In the front yard, Zhang Chong, who had received the news, pushed the door in. In the study, Fu Yun was still at his desk to handle official duties. Zhang Chong bowed his head respectfully:
"Master, I heard that Jinheyuan has already been serving meals."
The words that have not been finished, look at it, is it time to pass?
As soon as Fu Yun finished writing, before he could speak, he heard some movement outside. He raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong cursed the bastard outside in his heart and said quickly:
"Slave went out and checked out."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at the master's face and hurriedly retreated.
As soon as he came out, he met Xiao Dezi's wrinkled face: "Dadfather-in-law, news came from Mingzaiyuan that Xu Liangdi is sick again."
One word after another expresses the sadness of the people serving in the front yard.
Zhang Chong frowned immediately, feeling that Xu Liangdi was causing trouble for him.
In the past, Xu Liangdi in the backyard had the highest status and was quite favored. Zhang Chong naturally didn't mind going in for her to pass on a message, but now the news of his master going to Jinheyuan for dinner has been spread. Xu Liangdi is a little ignorant when she comes to this again.
But Xu Liangdi's body was really bad, and Zhang Chong couldn't tell whether she was really sick.
He complained countless times in his heart, but Zhang Chong frowned and said:
"I'll ask someone to wait, I'll go in and ask my master."
The door behind him was suddenly kicked open, and Fu Yun walked out of it with a cold face.
In this way, I obviously heard their conversation.
Zhang Chong kept his head silent and said in a low voice: "Master Xu is sick, I want to ask you to come and have a look."
After crossing the door, Fu Yun clearly saw Ling Yan standing outside next to Xu Liangdi, her expression on her face was about to cry in a hurry, and her appearance could not be faked.
In the past, when Xu was sick, he went to see him.
I also know that Xu can't do anything to pretend to be sick, and she is really in poor health. Every time she gets sick, she will almost lose half her life.
Ling Yan, who was standing outside the front yard, was heartbroken. She couldn't guarantee that her master would follow her back, but she inevitably felt expectant.
Seeing his master walking towards her, Ling Yi felt relieved.
Fu Yun looked cold and cold:
"lead the way."
When the news came to Jinheyuan, Shi Chun had just led his maid to prepare a meal, and Zhou Yun was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror. The red jade in his hand suddenly fell down, shattering all over the floor with a crisp sound.
The people who served in the room were suddenly silent.
Zhou Yun was silent for a while, and she stretched out her hand. Shi Qiu wiped her with a veil and then looked up at the person who came to report the news:
"What's going on?"
Xiao Dezi didn't expect that this concubine had such a big temper and kept her head down, so she didn't dare to hide anything:
"Master Xu of Mingzaiyuan is sick and sent someone to ask me to see you. I asked my servant to come and say to my concubine, asking her to have a meal first, so there is no need to wait for him."
"I know."
Zhou Yun didn't say anything else.
After Xiao Dezi left, Shi Chun said in a hurry: "I said I wanted to come to Jinheyuan for dinner. Mingsuiyuan also went to the front yard to hire someone. Isn't this obvious that I don't take the master seriously?"
She was so angry that she even became the master, not the concubine.
Shi Qiu's expression changed a little, and he shook his head at her obscurely, signaling her to stop talking.
"When Xu greeted her today, her face was really bad. I'm afraid she's really sick, so I'll come over to see her. Maybe she'll come here in a while."
As soon as these words of comfort came to the ground, they looked up and saw Zhou Yun dismantling the jade hairpin she had just worn in front of the bronze mirror. She was stunned and knew that the master was really angry.
She paused, and the words of comfort were just comforting. Even if it was her, she was a little annoyed by the prince's decision.
Zhou Yun took off the jade hairpin and felt a little stuffy when he felt the depression on his chest.
Are you angry?
She must be angry. The person next to her pillow last night slapped her in the face today. Even though she was understandable, she was still unhappy.
But she knew that this situation was inevitable since she entered the palace.
But Zhou Yun didn't expect that he would meet him so early.
Shi Qiu looked at her worriedly: "Master?"
Zhou Yun took a deep breath, shook her head with a strong temper, and the aroma of the meal on the round table behind her floated over, which was the dish she had specially ordered to prepare for someone.
Now when I think about it, it’s a bit slap in the face, which makes people feel ashamed and annoying.
She said, "Let's have a meal first."
No matter what happens, she can't stop eating.
The day before she entered the mansion, her mother told her that no matter what happened in the mansion, nothing can compare to her own body.
No matter how thorough he thought about it, Zhou Yun only used two chopsticks in a hurry and put down the wood.
Shi Qiu stood aside and didn't dare to persuade him at all.
——
On this side, Fu Yun entered Mingzaiyuan all the way.
Xu Liangdi leaned on the couch, her face turned pale. She covered her lips with one hand and tried her best to suppress her cough. Her eyes were soft and tears were lingering, which made people feel pity for a glance.
As soon as Fu Yun stepped in, he saw this scene, the coldness in his eyes faded, and he turned to frown:
"What's going on?"
Xu didn't say anything, Ling Yan shook his head: "I don't know that my master's health has become worse and worse these days, and he almost can't get up today."
Fu Yun glanced at her. If it was as she said, Xu's illness had been there for some time.
"Why don't you report it earlier?"
Ling Yan stopped and didn't know how to answer, but Xu was still calm and said whispering:
"I don't allow her to tell you."
She has been sick for a long time and is very thin. When Yingying bent down, her waist that could not be held back was exposed.
She has been serving Fu Yun for a long time and knows more or less about Fu Yun’s hobbies.
Fu Yun was a little absent-minded. He learned how willful Jinheyuan was. He had learned about it at noon. He came here and didn't know how that person would make him feel good.
Thinking of this, Fu Yun frowned and wanted to leave.
But after all, thinking that she was not in good health, she asked calmly: "Why?"
"Recently, everyone in the mansion is busy with the matter of entering the mansion. I don't want to ask me to worry about me at this time."
This was said appropriately and sensible. Xu lowered his head. Before he could see that Fu Yun's face became completely cold after the sentence was finished.
Fu Yun felt a little frustrated, and he drooped his eyelids in a depressed manner.
He knew that Xu was a little uneasy when he saw the newcomer entering the mansion, but this argument was too false.
He saw the way that the woman in the backyard competed for favor. If Xu really didn't want to bother him at this stage, he wouldn't have sent someone to invite him today.
But Fu Yun didn't say anything, and it was not until Zhang Chong led the doctor in and said:
"You have a good rest, I will come to see you again next day."
After this sentence, he ignored Xu's reaction and turned around and left Mingshuyuan. Zhang Chong was stunned and hurriedly chased after him.
Behind him, Xu was helped up by Ling Yi, who was a little worried: "Master, why are you?"
"Today I went to invite the prince, which not only offended the concubine, but also made the prince dislike..."
Ling Yi stopped when she said this, but her expression was full of words, not worth it.
Xu just stood up, held back her cough, and said softly: "I just want to see..."
When will the master specifically advise the woman in the backyard to live in? Only Concubine Zhou is so worried, she naturally wants to know how much he values Concubine Zhou.
Ling Yi didn't hear clearly: "What are you looking at?"
Xu just leaned on the couch and shook her head, but ignored her.
Fu Yun only stayed in Mingshuyuan for a few words, but this time it took a lot of time. When he walked to Jinheyuan, the sun had already darkened, and the shadows of trees were swaying wherever he walked.
Only a red lantern was hung in front of Jinheyuan Gate.
This is a rule. If the master does not decide which yard to stay in tonight, every master in the backyard will hang a red lantern in front of the door.
