Chapter 64： Jinjiang Literature City debut

While Linglong was waiting for Tao Ti to take a bath, she saw bruises and redness on her knees, elbows, and ankles, and tears came to her several times.

Tao Ti told her that these were all her own fall, but Linglong didn't believe it, so she only treated them as the princess who was suffering outside and used these words to coax them.

Seeing that the description gets darker and darker, Tao Ti doesn't bother to explain it anymore.

I took a shower and changed into a silky and light snow-forged bedclothes, with balm on the hair to toes, and the whole person turned back to that fragrant, soft and extremely delicate prince. Concubine.

Just as Linglong was preparing to administer medicine to Tao Ti, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the temple, and it was Pei Yan.

Linglong hurriedly got up and stepped aside to salute.

Pei Yan also washed and bathed. It was no longer the gray cotton robe at the beginning. Instead, he replaced it with a black brocade robe. His long black hair was casually tied with a purple hair band, setting off a cold white face, just like Beautiful jade adds a bit of casualness and elegance.

"His Royal Highness, you are finished, have you used dinner?" Tao Ti greeted him and took the ointment to his knees.

"It's used." Pei Yan said lightly, walked to the bed, and saw her arched legs, light-colored trousers rolled up, revealing her small knees and a long, snow-white calf. There was a bluish-purple on that knee, which was particularly shocking when compared with the white and tender skin around.

Pei Yan frowned and said in a low voice, "Is this the last time I did it?"

Tao Ti nodded in embarrassment, "I just knocked to a point, it looked scary, but it didn't hurt much."

Pei Yan only knew that her ankle had arrived, but she didn't expect her knees to be like this. The dark pupils were covered with a dark color. After a while, he sat next to her and took the ointment in her hand, "Lonely."

Tao Ti was stunned slightly, raising his eyes to see his drooping long eyelashes, his profile was full of seriousness, and his expression was focused.

Upon seeing this, Linglong on one side pursed her lips and smirked, and quickly retreated with a group of palace people.

At the door, Fu Xirui was a little surprised to see Linglong and the others retreating so quickly, "His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess were settled so early today?"

"It hasn't been settled yet." Linglong smiled, "but the masters are full of affection, and we are not obsessed with that..."

Fu Xirui was surprised, and she listened to Linglong sighed, "This time His Royal Highness and the prince concubine have been living in the countryside. Although they have suffered, they have not gained nothing. As the old saying goes, you see the truth in adversity. Now I look at this. That’s pretty good! The two of them seem to be much closer than before."

Fu Xirui was also happy when she heard this. She glanced at the brightly lit temple, hoping that the two masters could continue to be so good.

Inside the hall, Pei Yan's slender fingers were moistened with milky white ointment, and he gently wiped Tao Ti's knees.

His movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting her, he asked from time to time, "Does it hurt? Do you want to be lighter? If it hurts, just say, don't bear it..."

When he finished wiping his knees, he asked again, "Where else is it?"

Under his deep gaze, Tao Ti also became honest, and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, exposing his elbows, "Well, here."

Pei Yan glanced at it, and it was also a piece of black green.

While helping her wipe it, he sternly said, "Where will you bump into it in the future? Don't hide it from Gu, you know."

Tao Ti pursed her lips and whispered, "In fact, it's nothing serious... and it's still so embarrassing."

Pei Yan laughed helplessly, "Who doesn't wrestle all his life? It's loneliness, and he also fell."

"Huh?" Tao Ti raised a pair of Shui Lingling eyes to look at him. Seeing his beautiful Jiyue appearance, it is hard to imagine what he would be like when he wrestled.

"Well, I fell, I fell when I was a child, but I don't grow up." He said quietly.

After applying the medicine, Pei Yan put her sleeve down, and his eyes fell on her ankle again, that part was completely swollen, one piece was swollen high, and the small feet were swollen like pig's hoof.

"Where is the plaster that Mr. Xu gave when he left? I will stick it to you alone."

"Over there." Tao Ti pointed to the table.

There was a pack of dog skin plasters, which Xu Wenhe gave. Change one pair every two days and stick it for ten days, and her ankle will be able to recover.

Pei Yan took a patch, first put the plaster on the fire and bake it, half-baked the plaster. At this time, the temperature was suitable, hot but not hot, and it gave off a faint herb fragrance.

He held up her snow-white feet with his generous hands and gently applied the plaster to her red and swollen ankles. After applying it, she didn't immediately let go, but covered the plaster with her big palm to help her apply it tightly.

Tao Ti didn't think there was anything, but Pei Yan helped her apply the medicine two days ago.

But today, he quietly supported her ankle, and the silence around him gave birth to a bit of embarrassment for no reason.

Tao Ti looked for topics, first asked if there were any clues about the assassin, and then asked about Mu Wangfu and Sun Fuyin.

Pei Yan answered one by one. At the end, he raised his head and said, "The imperial doctor just saw the injury of the lonely, and said that he would rest for a few days. When the scab is over, he will return to Chang'an to avoid infection of the wound on the road. Good treatment."

Tao Ti nodded, "Yes, the imperial doctor makes sense. Then you can listen to the imperial doctor, and then raise it, we won't be in a hurry to go back anyway."

Pei Yan's beautiful peach blossom eyes were apologetic and stared at her deeply, "If this is the case, I can't rush to Chang'an before the Dragon Boat Festival, and I can't take you to the Weihe River to watch the dragon boat race."

Tao Ti stayed for a while, but he didn't expect Pei Yan to remember this in his heart. If he didn't mention it, she almost forgot about it.

"It's okay, the Dragon Boat Festival is there every year, and it won't be too late to see it next year."

Speaking of this, Tao Ti paused for a moment and calculated it in his heart. Pei Yan was born on the eighth day of October, and he will be twenty-two in a few months. Qin Tianjian said that he will not survive to twenty-three...that is, the eighth day of October next year.

I can still watch a dragon boat race together...

Although it may be the last one.

Thinking of this, her mood unknowingly became depressed.

Pei Yan noticed the change in her expression, her eyebrows frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Tao Ti quickly adjusted here, raised his small head, and showed him a bright and comforting smile, "It's okay, it can be a lively holiday in the palace. Your Highness, shall we make rice dumplings together?"

Her fast-coming and fast-going emotions made Pei Yan both funny and relaxed. He raised his lips and said, "Okay, let's make rice dumplings together."

If he could know why the little girl was worried, he would rub her little head and tell her--

They have more than one Dragon Boat Festival, and they will have the rest of their lives for several decades. They can spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, watch dragon boats, and make rice dumplings.

——

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May is also known as the Bathing Orchid Festival. In the Great Yuan Dynasty, it was also a very solemn festival, from the court to the people, to rest for five days to celebrate the festival together.

Stepping into May, the festival atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival is permeated; in Luoyang City, you can see peach branches, wicker, sunflower, calamus and wormwood. The common people carry a variety of cakes, dumplings, drinks, or visit friends, or go out with their families for fun.

Inside Luoyang Palace, there is also a lively festival atmosphere. The eunuchs put on the light blue robes of summer, and the maids put on pomegranate or peach silk flowers, gathered together to hang wormwood, or weaved calamus into the shape of a tiger, and hung it on the door to ward off evil spirits in the town house;

In the Jixian Hall, Tao Ti sits in front of the court, watching with interest Linglong twisting the five-color thread and the five-color beads, weaving the long life. As the old saying goes, tying arms with colorful silks is called piping soldiers, which makes people not sick.

Tao Ti raised her cheek and asked, "Why use black silk thread, it doesn't look so bright when we knit it in."

Linglong smiled and said, "Back to the princess, the five colors of white, red, black, yellow, and blue represent the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. At the same time, they also symbolize east, west, south, north, In the five directions, these five colors follow the five elements of yin and yang."

Tao Ti raised her eyebrows, "I see."

After thinking about it, she also picked up the silk thread, "Linglong, teach me, I also want to make two."

Linglong smiled and asked, "Is the prince concubine going to be assigned to His Royal Highness?"

Tao Ti blushed a little inexplicably when she said that she gave a low hmm, and then followed her to learn seriously.

Linglong taught well, Tao Ti also learned hard, plus this long life thread is not difficult to make up, as long as you can bear the temper, you can make it out.

About half an hour later, Tao Ti weaved two five-color long-life strands. For the sake of beauty, she also hung two small colored beads underneath.

She wondered happily, and when Pei Yan came over in the afternoon, she could just send him off, he would like it, right?

At this time, an **** at the door reported that it was Mrs. Lu Shi of Bianzhou Governor who came to ask for peace.

Tao Ti was surprised. She knew that the governor of Bianzhou was currently in charge of Luoyang Mansion, but she did not expect that Mrs. governor would come to see him.

Slowing her mind, she said to the eunuch, "Please come in."

Linglong helped Tao Ti back into the hall, and ordered the maid to prepare refreshments.

Not long after, a beautiful woman with dignified temperament and kind-faced face slowly walked in under the leadership of the eunuch.

She wore a full set of court clothes for a maid of life, a flower crown on her head, and a bright moon in her ears. She looked at her age about the same age as Tao Tiniang's Zhang family.

"The wife of the minister of Bianzhou, Zheng Xuan, Lu's family, pays respects to the princess, the princess Wanfu Jinan, and Fang Ling Yongji."

"Madam, please," Tao Tiwen said, and motioned for her to sit down.

Lu's seated his head upright, and when he raised his eyes to look at Tao Ti who was sitting in the upper seat, a gentle affection appeared between his eyebrows, "I heard that the princess was back two days ago. Yes. But my adult said, the princess, you are not a little frightened this time, and you need to rest, and the ministers waited until today."

Tao Ti saw that Lu's words were gentle and gentle, neither humble nor overbearing, and he had a good feeling for her, and smiled, "Madam, you are polite."

Lu's eyes smiled, and he looked up and down Tao Ti, smiling deeper, "It's okay for the princess to be fine. Your mother was very worried after knowing that you had an accident, so she sent me seven letters in a row, just wishing it lasted. Flying to Luoyang in person with wings to find you."

Tao Ti was startled, "Madam, do you know my mother?"

Lu said with a gentle smile, "It's more than just acquaintance. I played with your mother when she was five years old. Later, she married your father. I might be someone else, and then I separated with my grown-ups. We are thinking about each other. We haven't read the correspondence before, and now we have a friendship for more than 30 years..."

Tao Ti also reacted this time, daring to feel that Mrs. Cishi is Zhang's best friend.

She respected Lu's attitude more, and said politely, "Then I have to call Madam."

Lu Shi didn't have a split, and he responded, and the two chatted together.

Lu looked at Tao Ti’s face carefully, and said with emotion, “I see you today, as if I saw your mother when she was young, she really looks like it, not only looks alike, but also the aura and playfulness between her eyebrows and eyes. , Also like."

Tao Ti said, "My mother doesn't think I'm like her, she always said, how can she teach a daughter like me?"

Lu Shi was holding a teacup, and when he heard this, he was amused, "She is a mother, posing in front of you, bluffing you. In the past, among our three close friends, she was the most annoying and had the most spooky ideas. "

When Tao Ti heard this, she became interested, and suddenly realized the "three close friends" in Lu's mouth, and thought of her marriage with Pei Yan. It was all because Zhang and Queen Gu were close friends. This baby kiss.

Could it be--

She asked softly, "Aunt Lu, among the three close friends you mentioned, does the other one refer to the first queen?"

Speaking of Queen Gu, the smile on Lu's face converged, and then he whispered a low "um".
