Chapter 171： Extra seven

General Xue did not slow down, and he nodded: "I will go to the door to welcome the Holy Master, you quickly organize your appearance, and let your mother come out to see you. Other messy people and things must not appear in front of the Holy Master. !"

Madam Xue nodded hurriedly, and quickly walked to the backyard with the hand of the maid. The maid supporting her strode hard to keep up. Where is the wife of Lianbu on weekdays? Does this still need her to help? She hasn't left as soon as my wife!

Mrs. Xue hurried to the backyard. Mrs. Xue had already received the news. She was waiting for the people around her to change into the costume of the fateful woman. Layers of gold silk patterns were on her upper body in a red robe. The maid sister was not as loud as usual. pant.

Mrs. Xue's face (color) seemed to be younger than a teenager in an instant. When she saw Mrs. Xue coming over, she smiled and asked her daughter-in-law to come to her, "Hui Niang, I heard a magpie calling on the tree this morning. I was thinking about what a good thing could be, but I didn't expect it to be such a great thing! How honored is it for the Lord to visit the mansion in person?"

Seeing that she is so energetic, Mrs. Xue felt like she had found the backbone of the master, "Mother, what should we do about the regulations in our mansion? The saint should be here to hide from the rain. If the rain does not stop, won't the saint stay in our residence? ?"

Mrs. Xue's face (color) was stern, tightly holding Mrs. Xue's hand, and eagerly instructed: "No matter whether the saint is staying or not, Hui Niang, you can be optimistic about these people in our house, and you are not allowed to have a mess of thoughts. The people came to Shengshang's eyes! Don't think I don't know, how many maids in the mansion think highly of themselves, if they dare to sway in front of Shengshang, the old man will let them know how great!"

Mrs. Xue understood, she nodded, and said anxiously: "Mother, then Brother Lin and how many aunts need to face saints?"

Mrs. Xue's voice sank: "No! Only the elder brother far away is a saint, Hui Niang, you don't want to delay time, go change your clothes and tidy yourself, and follow me to see the saint later."

Mrs. Xue nodded, and sent someone to inform Xue Yuan before saying: "Yes."

Here Mrs. Xiang Xue and Mrs. Xue got busy. General Xue on the other side had already rushed to the gate of the mansion with many servants. The rain was fierce, and General Xue raised his throat with all his heart.

It wasn't until I saw that the Holy Master was guarded among the people from a distance, and the rain outside the corridor could not catch the Holy Master. General Xue walked quickly to the front, lifted his robe and knelt, "The minister pays homage to the Lord."

The saint said gently: "Xue Qing, get up."

Only then did General Xue get up with many servants. He looked up. The sage was afraid of the cold. Even if he didn't get a drop of cold rain, his lips (color) were blown white by the cold wind, and his face (color) was not very good-looking, General Xue Anxious in his heart, the clever little servant behind him quickly handed the big cloak.

Tian Fusheng put the Greatcloak on Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai coughed a few times, and his hands and feet were a little cold. "Today we went out of the palace, but I did not expect to encounter a heavy rain. It happened that Xue Mansion was nearby. It's also disturbing Xue Qing."

General Xue said hurriedly: "It is a blessing for the minister to visit the Lord himself, how can it be said that it is a nuisance?"

After finishing speaking, General Xue looked at Prince He with his hands, and said, "Get well with Prince He."

And the prince nodded blankly, "General Xue."

Gu Yuanbai coughed a few more times with his head tilted, cold air rose from the soles of his feet, and a faint fever on his face. This felt very bad, like a sign before the onset of illness. Tian Fusheng, who is always paying attention to him, said hurriedly: "General Xue, not much to say, the saint still needs to enter the house to avoid the cold."

General Xue hurriedly gave up his position and led the Saint to walk into the hall. Gu Yuanbai gathered the cloak together and walked all the way down. His previously pale face (color) was stained with an unusual blush.

He felt a little dizzy.

Gu Yuanbai hasn't forgotten the wind and cold that almost killed him a month ago. He now has some shadows about it, and he always feels that if this continues, it may be another fatal cold.

Gu Yuan's eyebrows were heavy, and after being led to a high position, his first sentence was: "Is there a doctor in Xue Qing's mansion?"

General Xue originally thought that Shengshang was regaining his breath (color), but now he was suddenly awakened by this question. He (强qiang) calmed himself down and asked the young man around him to ask the doctor quickly, and he ordered people to ward off the cold. The decoction and hot water were delivered without delay.

Tian Fusheng wiped his face with a kerchief, and the heat penetrated into his palm through the silkkerchief. Tian Fusheng's face turned pale and his hands trembled slightly, "Holy..."

Gu Yuanbai's breathing increased slightly, and he suddenly smiled, "Looking at the rain outside, I'm afraid it won't stop tonight, I'm afraid I will stay in Xue Qing's mansion."

General Xue saluted, "The minister has prepared a room for the saint, can the saint go to rest?"

Gu Yuanbai nodded and waited calmly for the doctor's arrival. While waiting, his hands and feet grew colder, but his cheeks slowly burned. Gu Yuanbai was already covered in a cloak, but the cold made him want to tremble.

He endured these anomalies one by one, with a calm smile on his mouth. He and the prince looked at the heavy rain outside the window, then looked at the redness on his face, the corners of his mouth were straightened, and his face sank depressively.

Today, he said he was going to leave the palace. If something happened to Gu Yuanbai, he could not shirk the blame.

The doctor was soon brought over. He should have known the identity of Gu Yuanbai, and his whole body appeared trembling. The head guard let him in after inspecting the doctor. Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand, and Tian Fusheng rolled the cuff up and back, revealing his white, jade-like wrist.

The doctor took a pulse, and shook his hands after a while and put it down, "Holy, holy, the cold has not penetrated the internal organs, now just soak some hot water, drink some hot soup, and force the sweat out."

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and was used to the careful and delicate energy of the imperial physician in the imperial palace. Now that I heard that he hadn't been taken care of as a glass man, he felt very happy, "If this is the case, I will trouble Xue Qing. ."

"Don't dare," General Xue said, "The minister will prepare water for the holy, and the hot soup will be ready soon."

Gu Yuanbai exhaled a breath of heat, and the slender fur on the great cloak rose and fell with his breath, his pale fingers propped on the black wooden table, and Gu Yuanbai stood up with this strength.

Tian Fusheng and the guards followed him, Gu Yuanbai walked slowly to the door, but his left leg was suddenly weak, his whole body staggered forward, suddenly stopped by a person.

With a tight and strong hand around his waist, Xue Yuan looked at the emperor who fell straight into his arms, and grinned with a respectful smile: "What's wrong with the Lord?"

Gu Yuanbai's face (color) changed, Xue Yuan let go of his hand, he bowed to Gu Yuanbai, and smiled gracefully at the saint (lu).

Gu Yuanbai glanced at him, and passed him with a low cough. Seeing his leaving behind, Xue Yuan put aside his smile, turned his head and asked his father: "Sage, is this cold?"

General Xue and Prince He did not hear the gloat in his tone. General Xue asked Xue Yuan to come forward to meet Prince He. His face was slightly exhausted. After seeing Sheng Shang left, he also made an excuse to return to the room.

Xue Yuan respectfully sent away Prince He and then stood up straight. General Xue sighed, worried: "I only hope that the Holy Father will be safe."

Xue Yuan (gou) smiled on his lips: "Shengshangji people have their own visions, and of course they will be fine."

As soon as he approached the emperor, Xue Yuan felt the warmth coming toward him. He lay on the (bed chuang) for a long time before laying down all the injuries on his knees. He didn't expect that now, it was the Saint's turn to lie down in Xue Mansion.

He returned to the room with the prince. His little boy wanted to go to the kitchen to bring him a bowl of **** soup, but when he came back he brought back a bowl of deer blood beamingly, "Master, Xue Fu has a deer, this is fresh The deer blood that has been rolled over is still hot, this thing is much more useful than **** soup!"

I took the deer blood with the prince and drank it. The scent of hot blood deepened from the throat, and the whole body was warmed up, and the prince's conscience discovered, "Go and bring another bowl, and the king will send it to the holy. "

Xiao Si went and brought a bowl of steaming deer blood, followed by Prince He and prepared to send it to the Saint. The residence of the Saint is the master bedroom of Xue Mansion, in the best location in the whole mansion, a little far away from the residence of the Prince He.

Along the way, Prince He felt that his whole body was sweating thinly, and the bowl of deer blood that he had just drunk worked so fast, and Prince He even felt that there was a wildfire in his body that burned again, and he could not help but tore off his collar.

When I was about to walk to the door of the prince, I passed the window of the bedroom, and the prince subconsciously glanced inward, and stopped quickly.

In the bedroom, the sage leaned lazily next to the bed, his feet soaked in the clear water soaked in medicine, Tian Fusheng was squatting on the side, washing his feet for the sage.

Gu Yuanbai's feet have not traveled much since he was born. Soft-bottomed silk and satin are pampered, and they are as clear as jade.

The hot water steams the fair skin into powder (color), the clear water rises and falls, the drops of water are scattered all around, the medicine is added with flowers, and the flowers are slowly unfolded in the water after drying (drying), and this pair of jade feet is modified. As exquisite as the fine brushwork.

With a "boom", Prince He only felt that the wildfire in his heart was burning violently. His brain was blank, and he felt that his whole body was extremely hot. Staring at this scene, the heat steamed into his mind.

The smell of deer blood in his mouth suddenly became thicker.

The early days of these few days were also talking about the test in early March. Gu Yuanbai and the ministers set the tone of the test, and determined the proportions of classics, policy theory, arithmetic, poetry, laws, and essays in the test. The first and third officers were appointed by the first and second class members, and there were 18 examiners. The Ministry of Rites submitted the list, and the candidates were selected by Gu Yuanbai.

After the early dynasty, Gu Yuanbai got the list. He must choose the people as soon as possible. After three days, these candidates will be followed by the Forbidden Army and enter the Gongyuan Locked Courtyard.

There is also knowledge in ordering people. Although I am a student of the emperor, the chief examiner of the rural examination and the examination will eventually have the title of "a teacher". This examination is also a matter of preserving face. The emphasis is on the scholarship and the trust of the emperor. Whoever Yuan Bai is willing to take further, and who is willing to hold on to his hands and feet, can also make a fuss here.

When he ordered someone, the Yushanfang also sent them to eat. Since the last time he ordered a bowl of fried noodles, Yushanfang seemed to have discovered a hundred ways to use different sauces, they tossed out (肉rou) The sauce is fragrant, and it's extremely delicious just by this.

Gu Yuanbai's appetite is not very good these few days, no matter how much the people in the imperial dining room spend their minds, he only moved a few chopsticks and put down his chopsticks. After ordering people to withdraw their meals, Gu Yuanbai prepared (sleeping in Shui) for a nap after washing.

Tian Fusheng was instructed to wake him up an hour later, Gu Yuanbai fell into a deep sleep (Shui Shui), but he didn't expect that he would be awakened by the violent shaking when he was sleeping (Shui Shui).

When I opened my eyes, I saw tears on Tian Fusheng's face, and his voice trembled, "Holy, Taifei Wan is seriously ill."

*

Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital.

Gu Yuanbai walked out of the house full of medicinal smell and looked at a lonely withered tree in the courtyard, with some (dry gan) astringent in his eyes.

Tian Fusheng and his court attendant had already covered their faces and wept, and the imperial doctor followed the saint on the left, whispering the diagnosis result.

Princess Wan Tai was the concubine of the first emperor before his death.

She is also the younger sister of Gu Yuanbai's biological mother.

Gu Yuanbai’s biological mother passed away early. In order to protect Gu Yuanbai, Princess Wan was admitted to the palace. In order to make herself treat Gu Yuanbai as a parent, Princess Wan took the drug for infertility. The rest of her life, They only pave the way for Gu Yuanbai.

The strangeness of Gu Yuanbai’s birth mother’s death is also the fact that Princess Wan found out the truth step by step in the harem. She embraced his mother’s vengeance for him. Whether it was the former little emperor or the present Gu Yuanbai, she will be Princess Wan Treat it as a biological mother.

After the first emperor collapsed, Gu Yuanbai wanted to take good care of Princess Wan in the palace, but Princess Wan was determined to leave the palace. She didn't want to die within the palace.

Gu Yuanbai moved her to this village, but the meticulous support could not survive the passage of time.

Concubine Wan Wan is getting old, and loses her heart, she wants to die.

Gu Yuanbai looked at the gray sky, his heart seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, his nose was sour, but his eyes were (dry) astringent.
