Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 73

[Chapter 72]

Wei Shao did not squint at Madame Xu’s bed, leaned down, and asked her about the medication for this morning’s condition.

On the side, Zhong Mi responded, saying that the old lady’s chest tightness and headache two days ago had improved, and she had also taken medicine in the morning, and a doctor would enter the house for follow-up consultation later.

Wei Shao looked at his grandmother’s look, and seeing that he was indeed in good spirits, he turned to Zhong Mi and said, “There is Lauam bothering.” Zhong Mi

smiled slightly, “I don’t dare to take credit.” The male monarch is not here these days, the female monarch serves the old lady in front of the bed in the morning and evening, and she personally guards the medicine in front of the stove yesterday. Very attentive.

After Little Joe saw him enter the room, he raised his eyelids and looked at himself.

She looked at him, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Xu on the bed.

Lady Xu said, “I’ve been quite refreshed, and you don’t need to worry.” Since there are many things in the office, it is busy. Looking at Xiao Qiao again, he smiled and said, “These two days you are also tired, seeing you come in the morning, your small face will be white, and the eye sockets are also concave, and I don’t think I slept well last night.” I don’t need you here for the time being, you go back to rest.

Little Joe actually didn’t want to go.

Before Mrs. Xu’s illness did not heal, she was eager to move in with her, and she was relieved to stay by day and night in the morning and evening. Only Lady Xu opened her mouth like this, and this morning’s spirit looked fine, if she insisted on staying, she would be deliberately filial piety. After thinking about it, he said, “I’m not tired.” Thank you grandmother for her love. So I went back to the room first. When the healer arrives, the granddaughter-in-law returns. After saying that, he said goodbye to Wei Shao side by side. As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, she looked ahead with her eyes, did not look at Wei Shao on the side, and did not wait for him to go first as usual, and went straight forward.

Wei Shao stopped at the door at first and said two words to ChunNiang, who was waiting to come forward to talk. Turning her head, she saw that Xiao Qiao did not wait for herself, she slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, went down the steps, and left herself. Staring at her back, I couldn’t help but shudder.

Little Joe quickly left the North House and walked unhurriedly down the corridor. When Chunniang saw that the male prince was also there, she walked slowly and fell behind.

Wei Shao took a few steps, caught up with Xiao Qiao, stood side by side with her, looked at her sideways, and said, “You’ve worked hard these past few days.”

Little Joe said, “It’s my duty.” And I really didn’t do anything. Wei Shao

saw that her eyes were always looking ahead, and although she was also talking to herself, she never turned her head to look at herself. In my heart, I felt that I had been snubbed by her, and I couldn’t help but feel bored. Shut up and stop talking, quickening his pace past her and walking ahead of himself. When I reached the three forks, I wanted to go directly back to the office, but after a slight hesitation, I turned to the West House.

Xiao Qiao entered the room, saw Wei Shao standing in the room, and said expressionlessly: “And change my clothes.” He was

wearing the same casual clothes he had been out last night. During the day, the department is in front of the public, which is really inappropriate.

Recently, it has been Little Joe himself doing this kind of thing for him. What he wanted to wear when he went to the office, what he usually wanted to wear, so that the inside and outside boots and socks and belts were matched, and Little Joe already knew it. Seeing him standing there motionless and full of uncles, he was bored and turned around to ask the servant to enter together, but he heard him say, “I don’t want anyone else.” Head oil smells too heavy, flush the nose!

Lin Mi in the West House, including ChunNiang and several other young maids, liked to use a hair oil with a rich aroma. They wash their hair and bathe not as diligently as Little Joe, the hair oil is mixed with sebum, and as they get closer, the aroma is indeed a bit flushed. It’s just that Little Joe is with them sooner or later, smells habitually, and doesn’t feel anything. He’s picky. Little Qiao stared at him, and he went over and took out his set of Xuanduan plain clothes uniform.

When Xiao Qiao came to him to help him change his clothes, Wei Shao kept looking down at her and suddenly said, “I haven’t seen you smile since I woke up in the morning.”

Xiao Qiao said with a cold face: “Grandmother is not in good health, why should I be in the mood to laugh?” Wei

Shao froze.

Little Joe ordered him to turn around. Wei Shao turned around on her. After turning back, he looked at her and said, “When did you leave last night?” I woke up and didn’t see you. This

time, his voice lowered, as if with some caution.

Xiao Qiao still did not look up at him, and said lightly: “You are asleep, I will not leave, still stay there until you wake up and then continue to serve?” Wei Shao

suddenly remembered the frenzy in the study of the Office of The Office last night, swallowed the spit, and was speechless.

Little Joe helped him change his clothes. He took a black leather belt, inlaid with five blue, ochre, brown, red, and emerald hooks, and then took the gold fish charm representing his identity, put it into a fish bag with dark embroidered gold wire, and hung it around his waist along with the sword he wore every day.

“That’s it…”

Xiao Qiao said, and finally picked up the sword, but saw Wei Shao suddenly raise one side of the arm, palm up her chin, lift her face up towards him, thumb gently rub the skin of her cheek on one side, lean down, put his face closer to her, and said in a low magnetic voice: “Last night I was not good, teach you to suffer.” Your face is white, and your eye sockets are sunken in. Grandmothers all looked out. There are also people in front of the North House, you don’t have to go during the day, you can sleep again.

Little Qiao finally raised his eyes and saw that his two eyes were looking down at him, and the dark eyes inside seemed to be quite concerned. Twisting his face slightly, he left his hand, and then smiled and said, “Xie Fujun.” I know it myself. Wei Shao

held back and held back, and finally waited for the opportunity to brew up fangcai for some time, thinking that he was very tender and said something out of his mouth, but he saw that she was lukewarm and did not have much reaction, so he was like a hot face pasted to a cold ass, and his heart felt stuffy. At this moment, the clothes are also changed, and there is no reason to stay in the room anymore. And he was not there for a few days, and there were many people waiting for him early in the morning today, and there was really no time to delay any longer, so he straightened up, restored his usual princely face, turned around and went out.

Little Joe sent him a few steps, and after leaving the room, he saw him leave the hospital with his back in his back, and he went back to the house.

……

Wei Shao beat his horse and went to the office.

When he was in Yuyang City, his usual daily life was almost two o’clock and one line between the Wei mansion and the Office of The Imperial Household, if there was no special, the morning passing by the chen point on this street was also very accurate, generally at the beginning of the hour, up and down would not exceed a quarter of an hour. The residents and merchants on both sides of the street recognized the prince, and when they saw him sitting on horseback this morning, he was followed by the left and right, and when he came from afar, they stopped what they were doing and stood on both sides of the street to salute.

Wei Shao’s mood was not high, his heart was absent-minded, he did not urge the horse, and he passed all the way without hurry. After walking this street, not far from the office, there was a sudden crisp clanging sound on the opposite side, and gradually a gorgeous light carriage came. The front of the car is shrouded in purple smoke, and a pair of chic golden bells hang from the left and right corners, close to each other, faintly visible smoke yarn as if there is a girl sitting inside. As the carriage moved forward, the golden bell made a constant clanging and pleasant sound, attracting many eyes on the road.

As a prince, Wei Shao walked in Yuyang and naturally used to walk in the center. The carriage also traveled the middle way. When you get closer, you will meet in the middle of the word.

Wei Shao’s wisp of Junhou Ying’s soul, which had drifted to nowhere, was finally summoned back by the sound of the golden bell. Looking up and seeing that a carriage was about to stand in its way, he felt displeased, frowned, and suddenly saw that the carriage had stopped, and a jade hand with a large ruby ring like a pigeon’s egg with its middle finger protruded from the side of the purple smoke veil, gently swept up the light veil, and then a bright young woman’s face appeared in the carriage. But seeing her green sideburns and green eyebrows, lips pointing Zhu Dan, a beautiful face of hibiscus, eyes like water with affection, sideburns inserted a delicate step shake, with her probe action, gold and jade bumped randomly, emitting a collision sound.

This young woman was beautifully dressed and had a beautiful posture, and as soon as her head popped out, many eyes on her from the side of the road turned to her. Her eyes looked alone at Wei Shao on the back of the horse opposite, and her face showed surprise, and she blurted out, “Erlang!” Wei Shao’s

gaze fell on the young woman opposite, and his gaze paused, showing a slight look of surprise, and stopped the horse for a while.

As soon as she summoned her mouth, the young woman immediately seemed to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed her mouth: “I haven’t seen it for many years, but I don’t know that I have met the deceased person like this todayIt’s a blessing. Concubines are inconvenient to get off the car, they can only worship in the car, hoping that the prince will not blame the disrespect. As she spoke

, a maid who was walking by the carriage came and beat up the light veil. The young woman guo was in the car, and bowed to Wei Shao on the horse, and then Yingying got up, and a pair of bright eyes threw herself again.

A beautiful and beautiful young woman, but there is such a sha tone that is extremely inappropriate for her appearance, as if she is revealing a haggard vicissitudes of wanting to say goodbye. When the mortal man heard it, he could not help but pity in his heart, wanting to know the stories of her encounters behind the haggard vicissitudes.

Wei Shao looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him who seemed to have overlapped with the shadow in the depths of his teenager’s memory, and after a moment, he nodded, “When did Madame arrive in Yuyang?” I don’t know.
Emperor
Su’e said, “It was at the Luli Conference a few days ago, and a concubine named Su Xin, who also came to attend the meeting.” The concubines came with them, and they were supposed to cheer him on. When Wei Shao

heard the word Su Xin, he seemed to remember something, and slightly frowned.

Emperor Su’e looked up slightly, looked at him and said, “The concubine’s nephew was eager to win, and he had no grace that day, and he actually hurt Qiao Xiaogongzi.” I was sitting on the viewing platform at that time, I saw everything clearly, these days I was ashamed, I originally wanted to take my nephew to apologize the next day, but unfortunately, on those two days I had a headache and an old disease, and I could only stop at the inn to recuperate. It wasn’t until yesterday, when the people got better, that they learned that Qiao Xiaogongzi had returned to Yanzhou, and his heart was even more guilty. Last night there was no sleep, and today I came to the door, one was to visit my grandmother, and the other was to apologize to the princess. A

horse followed by the carriage, and down came a young man, who was Su Xin that day.

Su Xin looked ashamed, and when he arrived at Wei Shao’s horse, he blamed himself and confessed his mistake, looking extremely remorseful.

Wei Shao glanced at Su Xin and said lightly, “I apologize for being spared, and my wife is not at ease.” “Thank

you very much for the large number of princes, and the concubines are very grateful.”

Emperor Su’e’s eyes moved slightly, landing on Wei Shao’s face: “In this way, I will go to see my grandmother.” Wei Shao

said, “Grandmother has been a little sick these two days, I am afraid it will not be convenient to see guests.” Madame may come back at a later date.
Emperor
Su’e showed a look of concern: “What happened to my maternal grandmother?” Does it matter? So the concubines have to visit the old man’s home. You remember that in the past few years, when the concubine was in Yuyang, Domon’s maternal grandmother took care of her, and when she entered and left your house, she was like her own family. All kinds of old things in the past are like yesterday, and concubines often remember them. Now that she has arrived in Yuyang, and knows that her old man is unwell, how can a concubine pass through the door knowingly and not enter? Wei Shao

seemed to hesitate, but finally said, “If you really want to visit, it is better to go for a while.” You just don’t have to stay too long. So as not to disturb the grandmother’s rest.
Emperor
Su’e seemed to be relieved, and he was busy and thanked him deeply.

Wei Shao bowed slightly to her, and the horse passed by the carriage.

Emperor Su’e turned his head, watched Wei Shao’s figure go away through the window, put down the light veil, and gave a command.

The carriage continued on, moving forward with the sound of golden bells clanging.

Almost at the door of the Wei Mansion, Emperor Su’e took out a copper mirror under the seat and wiped a layer of rouge above his lips with a papa against the copper mirror. Then he pulled out the shining step between his hairs. Looking at the mirror, Fang put it back.
