Princess Love Story

Chapter 17 Leprosy

After the wedding date is settled, all that remains is for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding day.Yin Rong doesn't have his own mansion, so after getting married, he will naturally live in the eldest princess's mansion, so there are all kinds of tedious things to do in the eldest princess's mansion.

Now that Qingying and Hongxiu are not around, Li Ruo can only leave these things in the hands of Uncle Gong, but Uncle Gong is a rough old man after all, many things are still a bit tricky to do, like selecting materials for lanterns and satins .

Later, Yin Rong saw it when he came to the mansion, and took the initiative to take care of these things.

"You don't have to be free, you can even do these things." Li Ruo was too lazy to sit in the yard, resting his cheeks on his hands and watching Yin Rong earnestly paste the drawing paper on the lantern, "Let the servants do it." , can't you?"

"Uncle Gong is getting old, so we can't let him do it all. Besides, the servants in the mansion are busy going in and out these days, and they are all exhausted." Yin Rong opened his eyes wide, and carefully worked on what he was doing. "When I came to the mansion yesterday, I saw a few servants sitting on the ground in the backyard and fell asleep. It looked really pitiful."

"This marriage is in a rush, isn't it like this." Seeing that Yin Rong had finished posting one sheet, Li Ruo lazily reached out and took the other sheet and handed it over, "Once I'm done with this business, I will naturally Reward them well."

"Heh." Yin Rong smiled, and reached out to take the things Li Ruo handed over, "Besides, these are all used when getting married, so it's more meaningful to do it yourself."

In the quiet afternoon, bathed in the sun, Li Ruo sat there quietly watching Yin Rong put up the lanterns, turning her head from time to time to watch her profile.

"Tsk, Yin Rong, I am really curious about how you dress up as a woman."

Yin Rong paused, then smiled, "It's coming soon."

"I really look forward to the day when I get married."

Yin Rong paused again, this time she turned her head and looked at Li Ruo's bright eyes, slightly lost in thought.

"What?" Seeing her looking at him without speaking, Li Ruo stretched out his hand in front of her in confusion, "Yin Rong, are you stupid?"

"Heh." With another smile, Yin Rong withdrew his gaze and continued to do what he was doing.

Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Looking at her, Li Ruo couldn't help but think of the scene on the street that day, she intertwined his fingers, the warm palm, the comfortable touch, and...

Recalling that scene, Li Ruo still frowned, but this was not a good thing for her.

Knowing that the person in front of her is likely to cause trouble to herself, but she just can't bear to do anything that hurts her...

That's it.

It's just that there will be some troubles, as long as it can be resolved, it doesn't matter anything else.

"I'm in a good mood today, I'll draw a flower for you." After speaking, Li Ruo got up and went into the room to take out a pen and ink, raised her hand and took the lantern beside her to draw.

Yin Rong didn't stop her, but just smiled and watched silently, as if admiring something beautiful.

"I have seen this flower before when I was in the south of the Yangtze River." Li Ruo held up a pen, and said while drawing on the lantern, "It's a pity that I haven't seen it since I arrived in the capital." After painting clusters of small flowers, Li Ruo Ruo raised his head with a smile, "Next time, I will take you to see it."

Yin Rong smiled, and took the lantern from Li Ruo, as solemnly as he took the chopsticks from her back then, "Okay."

The idleness in the afternoon is always so precious, Li Ruo sits lazily, and rarely relaxes on the table, closing his eyes and feeling the touch of the wind.

"Yin Rong, why does Bengong think you are different?"

"What's the difference?"

"I can't say it, it's just...very different." He stretched out his hand and caressed Yin Rong's cheek, and his cold fingertips touched the soft and gentle cheek, making Li Ruo curl up his lips slightly, "That day, you What did you think when you kissed me?"

"Ah?" Yin Rong shook his hand and distorted the painting in his hand.

"Heh." Li Ruo tilted her head and smiled, "You're talking about it."

"At that time..." Yin Rong lowered his body and carefully picked up the wrongly pasted drawing paper, "At that time..."

"what?"

"I didn't think too much about it back then." Pulling the drawing paper aside, Yin Rong said with bright eyes, "Just—"

When Yin Rong finished speaking halfway, suddenly a man dressed as a servant ran in in a panic and shouted from a distance, "Eldest Princess, someone is coming from the palace!"

Li Ruo turned his head impatiently, "What are you doing in such a panic? Anyone who comes from the palace should come." As he spoke, he looked at the person in front of him, "What, you're new to the house?"

"Ah! Little Xu Jing, just came to the mansion two days ago."

"Okay, you just said that someone is coming from the palace."

"Yes, Eunuch Li is here, saying that the emperor wants to summon him."

As soon as Li Ruo got up, she heard Xu Jing continue, "Eunuch Li said, let the son-in-law also enter the palace together."

"Yin Rong?" Li Ruo glanced at the person next to him who was putting up pictures.

"Me?" Yin Rong quickly put down the things in his hands after seeing Xu Jing nodding his head, "Then let's go together."

Li Ruo walked in front, Yin Rong walked behind.

"Eldest princess." Eunuch Li, who had waited in the outer hall for a while, bowed and saluted, "The emperor urgently calls you into the palace."

"What's the matter?" Li Su summoned her into the palace on weekdays, and if it was not urgent, he would send a young eunuch to pass the message, and he would definitely not let Eunuch Li come in person.

"The carriage is ready, let's talk about it on the road."

Eunuch Li's urging made Li Ruo feel faintly uneasy, but her face still maintained her usual look, and when she got into the carriage and settled down, she said calmly, "Speak."

"In the palace, someone in the palace is infected with leprosy."

"What?" Li Ruo looked at Eunuch Li in disbelief, this leprosy is serious, if someone in the palace catches it... "Where is the emperor now?"

"It has been moved to the other garden."

Li Ruo glanced out the window, it was indeed not on the way to the palace.

"What about that person? Where did he work before?"

"I used to be a handyman, but later I helped tidy up some flower gardens, and I didn't stay in any palace. Now, I have found a place outside the capital to deal with it according to the emperor's instructions."

Li Ruo's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Did you find out how this person got this disease?"

"This little eunuch's hometown is in a leprosy town in the south. Later, when the people in the village were almost dead, he came out to make a living. If he didn't enter the capital, he was afraid that others would pick on him, so he concealed it. But he didn't expect that there were not many people in the palace. It's time to get sick."

In the mountain villa where the royal family spent their summer vacation outside the capital, Li Su sat in the courtyard, looking at the memorial in his hand with a calm face.Just when Li Ruo was walking quickly, suddenly a voice came to Li Ruo's side and covered him with a coat.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside." Hong Xing stood on one side, and changed Li Su to a cup of hot tea with a smile on her face.

"Chen Jieyu." Li Su was taken aback for a moment, without a trace of emotion in his deep eyes, he took a look at the new tea, but didn't say much.

"emperor."

Eunuch Li's voice made Li Su turn his head away, and when he saw Li Ruo coming, he immediately raised his lips and smiled, "Miss Huang is here."

"Your Majesty." Li Ruo glanced at Hong Xing, whose expression changed slightly, but then looked away, looking at Li Su and said, "Is your Majesty all right?"

"Very good." Li Su pushed the tea in front of him to the side, caught a glimpse of Hong Xing still standing there from the corner of the eye, and said calmly, "What is Chen Jieyu still standing there for? Step back. "

Hong Xing was taken aback for a moment, and after forgetting Li Ruo's glance, she just responded softly and then bowed and retreated.

"The Queen."

"En." Turning his eyes back from where Hong Xing left, Li Ruo felt helpless in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, matters in the palace..."

"I have already ordered people to place those people who are in close contact with him outside the city." Mentioning this matter, Li Su was also very troubled, "What does Huang Jie think?"

"I heard from Eunuch Li that after the little eunuch got sick, he even covered it up for a while because of fear. He thought that he had to clean up the places he walked in these days. As for the people he came into contact with, even if it was only once, he might be infected. up, so..."

"If people who have been connected once are counted, it is really..."

"But just in case, it's better to be careful."

"What Huangjie said is very true, then do as Huangjie said." He said and looked at Yin Rong who was on the side, "By the way, I summoned you because I have something to ask you to do." Said Then he took a document from the side, "This leprosy will definitely reduce the number of palace people in the palace. The queen proposed to recruit palace people outside the palace. After thinking about it, I decided to leave this matter to you." As he spoke, he handed over the document, "Eunuch Li will accompany you to handle this matter."

"Yes." Li Su was still so impatient with him last time, but now he looks different. Dad said before that being with you is like being with a tiger, and now it seems that it is true.

"By the way, Miss Huang." Li Su seemed to think of something, "The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell recently, do you want to go and see her?"

"Ah?" Li Ruo seemed a little surprised, "Didn't you be fine a few days ago?"

"I don't know why, the headaches are getting worse and worse recently. I heard that drinking a few cups of calming tea in a row is useless. Back then, the queen mother had trouble sleeping and eating, and it was the emperor's sister who asked someone to ask for this pair of calming tea to relieve it. Now... ..."

"The emperor means to ask Li Ruo to visit the queen mother again, to see if he can find another prescription to cure the queen mother's illness?"

"Yes, that's exactly what it means."

"Then Li Ruo will try his best."

Back then, the queen mother had unbearable headaches, so Li Ruo invited her out of the palace to search for a cure, and finally found soothing tea to cure the queen mother's headaches.

this time……

The corners of her lips curled up, and Li Ruo smiled.

Have you finally waited until today?

"What are you thinking?" On the way back, Yin Rong asked Li Ruo when he saw that Li Ruo had been looking out the window thinking about something.

"I'm wondering if I can make it back and accompany you to recruit palace servants."

"Ah?" Yin Rong was taken aback, "The Eldest Princess wants to travel?"

"Well, didn't the emperor ask me to find a good way to treat the queen mother?"

"how long?"

"Five days."
