A cold dream is not a dream come true

Chapter 4: Prince Xi's Mansion

In August, the weather is a bit cooler, and occasionally it rains lightly.I accidentally contracted a cold, and lay in bed all day long, drowsy. I only knew that there was a maid named Tang'er who was by my side all day long and took care of me.

At noon that day, I was sleeping in a daze when I was woken up by the faint sound of conversation outside the house.I opened my eyes and found that Tang'er was not in the room. I sat up and found that my condition had improved, but I was still a little tired.

"...I've already told the crown prince, I think he won't talk nonsense." It was Prince Cheng's voice.

"That's good." A woman's voice should be Prince Xi.

"Seventh Sister, you should report to Sister Huang first, otherwise she should think too much. Later, I will send someone to send Miss Meng there."

"Alright. Su Cui, you stay here first. Take her back home when she wakes up."

"Yes." Another woman replied.

Then there was a sound of leaving footsteps, and the outer room became quiet.

I lay back on the bed again, it seemed that I was going to leave Prince Cheng's Mansion where I lived for more than ten days.After thinking about it, I got out of bed and prepared to go to the outhouse to have a look.

At this time, the door of the outer room was pushed open again.It seems that a person came in.

"Ah! I met Director Su." The person who spoke was probably Tang'er, her voice trembling. She wanted to come into the house from the outside to take care of me, but she probably didn't expect that there was someone here.

"It's you?" It should be Su Cui who spoke.

"Boss Su, this servant is Miss Meng's maid now."

"Oh, that's fine. We'll start when she wakes up."

Tang'er replied, and walked into the back room with the water basin, but found that I was already standing at the door, so she put down the water basin and helped me out.When the people in the outer seat saw me coming out, they got up and saluted me, saying, "I've seen the girl."

Although this person is a woman, she exudes righteous courage.Seeing the clothes, he should be a high-ranking servant.

Seeing that I was silent, this person went on to say, "Su Cui, the manager of Prince Xia Naixi's residence."

ah?Crispy?Why is the name so funny?It's a good pair with my maid, Sutang!Ha ha ha ha.

I suppressed it so that I didn't laugh out loud.It may be that the facial expression was too forceful, causing the legs to be a little weak, and the whole person lost his center of gravity and fell towards the door frame.Tang'er didn't support me, so my head hit it with a "bang".

"girl!"

"Miss Meng!"

Crispy Crispy Tang yelled together, I was in pain and wanted to laugh, with an extremely ferocious expression on my face.Tang'er stepped forward to help me, but I pushed her away.I have to get out of here quickly, or I'll die laughing or suffocate...

After leaving the room, we saw Prince Cheng while we were waiting for the carriage in the living room.He put on a gorgeous official uniform, leaned against the door, and looked at me with a half-smile.

"My lord, why are you looking at me like this?" I frowned and pouted.

"There is no special intention. It's just that Miss Meng went to my sister's place, don't forget my hospitality to you, and say something nice about me to my sister!" Prince Cheng smiled and left from the door.

I'm a little confused, I don't understand what Prince Cheng means.However, in order to show that my understanding ability is very good, I said very loudly: "That is inevitable, my lord! But what is the use of my good words, I think that Prince Xi with a paralyzed face can listen to me!"

Prince Cheng didn't answer, just smiled and walked out of the mansion gate.

Let’s keep the book short and gossip less. I moved into Prince Xi’s Mansion. This Prince Xi’s Mansion is very close to Prince Cheng’s Mansion, but there is a big difference.There are few women in Prince Cheng's mansion, and there are no children.And there are many women in Prince Xi's mansion, almost all of them are women from servants to housekeepers, and occasionally you can see a few two- and three-year-old children.

Su Cui settled me in the east room, and then led me to meet Prince Xi.

It was dark in the hall.

"Raise your head."

It took a long time for Prince Xi to say such a sentence.Although Prince Xi is expressionless, I, Meng Chuhan, am not a person who is afraid of death. I raise my head as soon as I raise my head. Who is afraid of whom?

I slowly raised my head and secretly observed Prince Xi.This woman is wearing a light blue robe, with a dark blue gold-rimmed belt around her waist, her hair is half tied, with a few strands floating to her chest.Spread your legs apart and lean your body back against the back of the chair.In the setting sun, the expression on his face was not very clear.At first glance, it looks very similar to Prince Cheng, but upon closer inspection, this Prince Cheng is weaker than his sister.

"name?"

"Meng Chuhan."

"Meng Chuhan? What a 'the evening breeze on the way home is clear, and a dream will not come true with a pillow of Chuhan'!"

Um?Isn't this Su Shi's "Nanxiangzi"?How can this woman always find out the source of her name?

Wait, why did I say "always can"?Did she say something else?

Forget it, now I have to think about how I should answer her.

"Well, lord, you catch me, oh no, you bring me to Prince Xi's mansion, what's the matter?" I asked cautiously.

Prince Xi leaned forward with a peaceful expression, watching me.I also looked at her, trying to find some information from her eyes, but to no avail.After staring at each other for a long time, Prince Xi glanced at my forehead, then frowned, and broke off the staring with me.

I touched my forehead subconsciously, oops, it hurts so much, it should have been bumped in Prince Cheng's mansion, but now it's swollen.It's a pity that this harmonious atmosphere has been destroyed.

Prince Xi looked around the house, looked at me, and pointed to the window.I looked along her hand and found that the window was open, and the autumn wind rolled up some dead leaves and blew them into the house.Is Prince Xi telling me to close the window?Why, I was brought to Prince Xi's mansion just for that?I don't want to be a servant.

I felt a little nervous in my heart, but seeing that Prince Xi didn't show signs of anger for a while, I retorted: "Wang Jia is a thousand years old, and there are many servants in Prince Xi's mansion? You asked me to come to Luoyang, wouldn't you just let me come to prison?" Windows?"

At this question, Prince Xi was taken aback. Maybe it was the mansion of Prince Xi who was Nuo Da, no one had ever talked to her like this before.She bowed her head in thought.

I looked at her quietly, she looked down thinking is really pretty.Especially her loose hair, which slid to her chest.This breast is not as big as mine. If the clothes are wider, it will be invisible...

"Su Cui." Prince Xi shouted to the outside.I'm still thinking about the size of the chest, and Prince Xi's words startled me.What do you call that crispy?Are you going to kick me out?

Su Cui pushed the door open and entered, and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Pass on my words, and make Meng Chuhan the fourth-rank fengyi." Prince Xi paused, and then said, "Su Cui, add two more maids to her."

"Yes, my lord." Su Cui said and left.

Prince Xi didn't speak, just looked at me sideways, as if asking me, are you satisfied with this?

I'm a little out of my mind at the moment.This Prince Xi is obviously a woman, yet he takes me as a concubine?How can this woman and woman...?Although I heard that there are many same-sex marriages in Pingyang country in the early years, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.Forget it, anyway, this Su family is weird, so I don't need to make a fuss about it.

"Thank you, my lord." I pretended to be very polite and said, "My lord, you also know that my daughter is a famous pharmacist in Shengle City. After her parents passed away, I supported the Qifu Medicine Hall by myself. After my sister disappeared, I still worked hard. It's been a long time. If it wasn't for your "good intentions to help", my lord, maybe today, I would already be an imperial doctor in the imperial hospital!"

After saying this, I really regret it.Originally, I was just a humble poor man, but now I make such a request to the royal prince. What if Prince Xi gets annoyed and kills me...

Unexpectedly, Prince Xi was not angry, but fell into deep thought.I can't help but feel a little confused about this woman.

"Su Cui." Prince Xi called Su Cui in again, "Go and call Jing Yan and Yu Er."

Not long after, a woman walked in.This woman wears gold and silver, and the clothes are made of very good fabrics.The movements are decent, dignified and generous, as if everyone is a lady.Although plain, but still charming and moving.Presumably this person has a very high status in the mansion.This woman is also leading a little girl. This little girl is about three or four years old. She is cute and cute. She looks a bit like the woman next to her. She should be her daughter.

"I have seen the prince." The woman said politely.

"I have seen my father..." the little girl said tremblingly.

What?This little girl called her father?So this woman...

"Jingyan, this is Miss Meng from Shengle City, she is very skilled in medicine." Prince Xi said to me again, "This is Princess Lu and my eldest daughter Su Yu."

Princess?This level is really high.I hurriedly said hello, Princess Lu nodded.

"How is Yu'er's illness recently?" Prince Xi asked.

"Okay, but still coughing badly."

"Miss Meng has excellent medical skills, and she will definitely cure Yuer's illness."

"Thank you, Lord."

After a few words of dialogue, there is no further text.The sun had already set, and the expressions of the two of them could not be seen clearly.

Concubine Lu spoke first, "If the prince has nothing else to do, the concubine will leave first."

"okay."

After the concubine left, Prince Xi did not move.

"It's time to hold the lamp..." Prince Xi said, but his voice was hoarse.Did she cry?

"My lord..." I called softly.

Her voice returned to the coldness before, "What?"

"It's okay." It seemed that it should be okay, so I went to light the lamp immediately.

After a busy day, I finally lay down.This Prince Xi's mansion is much more strange than Prince Cheng's mansion. Are the prince and concubine husband and wife?If it's a husband and wife relationship, the atmosphere between the two is not harmonious at all, and who does that little girl belong to?Forget it, I still think about myself, what is my identity now?servant?Concubine?Or a pharmacist?Now that the lord has ordered it down, tomorrow I will treat the young miss Yu'er well, and it will not be in vain for the position I risked my life to ask for.

That night, when I returned to my room, I finally felt relieved.I wanted to tidy up the package carefully, but I felt weak all over, I just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep.

Tang'er helped me change my clothes, but she was startled when she touched my arm.She touched my forehead and said, "Girl, why is it so hot? You haven't recovered from the cold, but it's getting worse?"

I said lazily, "Don't make a fuss, just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

Lying on the bed, I only feel sometimes ecstatic and sometimes groggy.Tang'er was on the side applying a cold handkerchief to me, feeling anxious.

It doesn't matter, I am a person who knows medicine, this little ailment is nothing, just sleep and it will be fine...

But the consciousness is getting more and more blurred...

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the door opening and felt someone approaching.I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't.

"Let me do it," someone said.

who can that be?

I feel a pair of warm hands gently stroking my head, which feels like that boy three years ago.I felt as if I had suddenly returned to the time when I was 14 years old.

In a daze, I felt that the wound on my forehead was being touched, as if someone was applying medicine to the wound.It smells like a cure for sores, but the ingredient is not musk, it seems to be civet incense.

Strange, who concocted the medicine?It's actually the same as my preference...

In the smell of civet incense, I lost consciousness...

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

It took me ten seconds to understand what had happened, and I immediately got up and sat down, only to find a person lying beside my bed.His long black hair hung down his chest, his face was buried in his arms, and no expression could be seen.

Prince Xi?I was startled, and immediately began to recall, so it was Prince Xi who gave me the medicine last night and guarded me all night?

I touched my forehead and found that the swelling had subsided.

My actions probably alarmed Prince Xi, she slowly raised her head and looked at me for a long time before she understood the current situation.

"Are you awake?" Prince Xi asked.

Looking at the tired Prince Xi, my heart overflowed with emotion.I have to thank her very well.

"My lord, thank you very much yesterday! I know..."

Before I could finish speaking, Prince Xi interrupted me: "It seems that you are fine. Then follow me to Jingyan's."

Without any explanation, Prince Xi dragged me off the bed.

The room of Princess Lu Jingyan is simple, but gorgeous.The eldest lady Su Yu was lying on the bed, her face was flushed and her whole body was hot, and the princess knelt beside the bed anxiously.

When the princess saw me, she immediately came over and held my hand: "Miss Meng, take a look at Yu'er."

I didn't speak, just smiled at the princess, and immediately checked Miss Yu's pulse.The eldest lady is not seriously ill, she just suffered from the wind and cold, and she can recover after taking a few medicines.

"Princess, please don't worry, the eldest lady is fine, I will prescribe the side medicine, just take it three times a day." After finishing speaking, I wrote out a prescription.

I handed the prescription to Concubine Lu, but Concubine Lu hesitated and did not reach out to take it.I looked at her suspiciously, but I didn't expect her to avoid my sight immediately.At this time, Prince Xi naturally took the prescription from me, handed it to Su Cui behind him, and gave some instructions.

After Su Cui left, the concubine thanked Prince Xi respectfully, then ignored Prince Xi and went to take care of the young lady alone.

Seeing this scene, Prince Xi didn't want to stay here any longer, so he made fun of me and left the room.

What a weird vibe.I then left and went to the living room.

In the living room, Prince Xi was drinking tea.Seeing me outside the door, he waved to me.

"Do you think Yu'er's illness is serious?"

In the early morning, Prince Xi's eyes shone on Prince Xi's face, and his expression looked a little anxious.The heat of the tea evaporated upwards, touched her eyelashes, and instantly liquefied to form small water droplets. Many small water droplets merged into a large water droplet, which remained along the corner of the eye.It seems to be crying.

I was a little stunned by the beautiful scene.Seeing that I didn't make a sound, Prince Xi looked up at me.I immediately said in a panic: "Ah, lord, the eldest lady's illness is nothing to worry about! This physical weakness is brought about by the mother's womb. It should be caused by the princess's bad mood and malnutrition..."

Having said this, Prince Xi frowned suddenly.I feel bad, shut up immediately.

Prince Xi had nothing else to say.Indulging in it for a long time, he suddenly spoke. "How's your forehead?"

The topic changed suddenly, and I was a little confused.

"The swelling has subsided..." I said slowly.

I suddenly remembered that I hadn't said the thank you in the morning, so I took a deep breath.

"That... my lord! Thank you for taking care of me last night! You must be exhausted!"

I lowered my head and finished speaking, but Prince Xi did not respond.I glanced up at her to see that she was looking at me suspiciously.

"I didn't take care of you yesterday. I just went to you to treat Yu'er."

ah?I was taken aback.Not her?

"What about Jinchuang Medicine?"

"Candy painted it for you."

"The ingredient of Jinchuang medicine is civet incense instead of musk. What's the matter?"

Prince Xi looked at me with strange eyes, and I felt a little rude.Because I always feel that Prince Xi is somewhat similar to the boy three years ago, maybe I can ask something.

"I don't understand traditional Chinese medicine. These medicines were distributed by the Imperial Hospital under the guidance of Sister Huang. I don't know the origin."

In a word, shattered my fantasy.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, I'm going to have breakfast." After finishing speaking, Prince Xi bypassed me and walked towards the dining room.
