Chapter 111 Passing by
The sedan chair marched steadily under the care of the attendants, and Xuanyuan Huaijin, who was really unable to struggle, leaned against the cushion and closed his eyes to refresh his mind.
"It seems that this body is still too weak." It was just a small toss that exhausted his strength, which made Xuanyuan Huaijin feel very uncomfortable. No matter how considerate Xuanyuan Day is, he is so tired that he wants the attendant to carry himself home with a sedan chair, which is a shameful thing for Xuanyuan Huaijin.
The group walked along Dongmen Street, and the guards saw a man in a big red official uniform coming towards them.
This is the imperial city at the foot of the emperor. It is very common to meet an official on the street casually. Even the princes and princesses are running all over the ground, so they don't care much. But after all, the sedan chair behind them lies His Royal Highness the Prince. I believe that there will be no long-sighted guy who comes to bump into him. Yes.
As the guards expected, Zhou Chongxiao also changed his route as soon as he saw the team in front of him and walked close to the roadside. He is not afraid of the so-called power, but he just doesn't want to get into trouble.
The two sides were at peace until the sedan chair passed by Zhou Chongxiao. Xuanyuan Huaijin felt the breath of Zhou Chongxiao and suddenly opened his eyes.
"This is..." The power was so familiar that his past memories kept surging out, "Stop the sedan."
The servants quickly stopped the sedan chair and stood aside waiting for the order of the prince. The stewor beside him lifted a crack in the curtain of the sedan chair and respectfully asked His Royal Highness what he had to order.
"Who just walked by?" Xuanyuan Huaijin's limbs were so weak that he didn't even have the strength to reach out and open the curtains to have a look. He could only stared and ask the people outside.
"Your Highness is a newly promoted four-grade official. It seems that he should be the servant of the Ministry of Household." The stewor replied cautiously. After all, he didn't really look at the man's appearance just now, but subconsciously remembered the grade and title embodied in the official uniform.
"Don't you know what the name is?" Xuanyuan Huaijin is a little puzzled. How can an ordinary four-level official bring him that familiar feeling?
"I really don't know about this." The stewor secretly scolded himself for not being careless. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness would suddenly be interested in a four-grade official. "Your Highness, please give me some time, and you will find out immediately."
Four products, if it is placed in a place, it is a senior official. But where is this? This is the imperial city. There are official officials everywhere on the street. The four officials are almost ignored in such places.
"No need. If there is fate, we will meet again." Xuanyuan Huaijin has not forgotten what he is now. If he casually investigates a four-grade official for no reason, it will fall in the eyes of some people with intentions, and I'm afraid it will set off a storm all over the city.
The stewer couldn't figure out the prince's intention, so he only answered and ordered the sedan chair to continue to walk to the Hefeng Courtyard.
"Mother, Your Highness is back." Mingzhu quickly walked to Ningfei and reported, and whispered, "Your Highness seemed to be injured, and there were some blue and purple marks on his face, which was still held into the room."
"Injured? Hurry up and have a look." Concubine Ning was shocked. The prince was injured, which is a small thing.
Although Xuanyuan Huaijin made Concubine Ning feel difficult to get close when she was a child because of precocious puberty, it did not affect Concubine Ning's mood to treat him as her own child. Now I heard that he was injured. He couldn't sit still. He didn't even take care of his headdress, so he went straight to the Guyun Hall where he lived.
Before entering the door, Ning Fei heard Xuanyuan Huaijin's helpless voice in the hall: "Sister, don't make trouble."
She pushed the door and entered, and saw Xuanyuan Huaijin lying obediently in the quilt, while Xuanyuan Huaisheng stood on the Taishi chair at the head of the bed with a small box of red sandalwood. He didn't know what he was busy with.
Mingzhu rushed forward with an arrow step, held Xuanyuan Huaisheng's shaky body, and told her to "Princess be careful."
At this time, Concubine Ning came over and saw that Xuanyuan Huaisheng was preparing to help Xuanyuan Huaijin apply the wound medicine.
"Huaisheng, let me do it!" Looking at Xuanyuan Huaisheng's clumsy appearance, Concubine Ning couldn't help showing a knowing smile.
Xuanyuan Huaijin will look at his sister's every move with worried eyes. He is also afraid that Xuanyuan Huaisheng has not given him good medicine, but will add a few new injuries to him.
Some plaster was taken out of the wooden box and carefully smeared Xuanyuan Huaijin. Ning Fei asked in a relaxed tone, "Why did you go out for such a short time and hurt yourself like this?"
What happened in Xuanyuan Palace was too extensive. Xuanyuan Huaijin didn't want Ningfei to worry more. He just said, "It's not inconvenient to fall in the palace."
"I can't even walk well, and I said it's not a problem. Didn't you hurt your muscles and bones?" Concubine Ning said that she was going to check Xuanyuan Huaijin's limbs.
"It's all my father's fuss." Xuanyuan Huaijin allowed her to pinch her limbs and confirm that there were no muscles and bones, which made the mother's heart at ease. As for why did Ning Fei know that he couldn't walk? Ha ha, this is Ning Fei's residence. What kind of wind can hide it from her?
"As long as you don't hurt your muscles and bones. Just have a good rest. Don't always work so hard. Make yourself look like an old man at a young age. Dian Xuanyuan Huaijin still had some round cheeks. Concubine Ning made a little joke while he was in a good mood.
And this seemingly ordinary move, in the eyes of Xuanyuan Huaijin, has a special meaning. In his previous life, his biological mother died early, and he practiced in the deep mountains since he was a child in order to break his fate. He has never felt the warmth of his mother.
At this time, Concubine Ning's sudden move warmed his heart. He couldn't help raising a lovely smiling face to Concubine Ning and said, "I know. Thank you, mother."
This sudden smile was so amazing that Concubine Ning was also stunned. Xuanyuan Huaijin suddenly coughed awkwardly twice and hid himself in the quilt.
"Bear by the way, where's your little guest?" Seeing that Xuanyuan Huaisheng was still standing on the side and poked his head, Ning Fei hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh, he is looking at the flowers and plants in the back garden!" Xuanyuan Huaisheng pouted, "What's the beauty of those broken grass?"
The most violent reaction to her words was Xuanyuan Huaijin. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Where are the flowers and plants?" Is it some of what I planted?"
Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who was shocked, said angrily, "It's those broken grass!" You only like those things. One day I will pull them all out, hum!"
Hearing the words, Xuanyuan Huaijin was a little embarrassed.
The flowers and plants planted in the back garden are not ordinary things, but the herbs specially planted by Xuanyuan Huaijin to refine the elixir. Not to mention rare in ordinary people, even people with successful cultivation may not be able to recognize them all. At this time, I heard Xuanyuan Huaisheng say that a guest stayed in his medicine garden, so how could Xuanyuan Huaijin not be nervous?
At the same time, he also understands that it is really possible if Xuanyuan Huaisheng is really angry and pulls out all those flowers and plants. Therefore, he could only soften his attitude and whispered, "Good sister, don't be angry. I will definitely bring you a lot of interesting things in the future. Look, can't I move now? Sister, please invite the guest first to let my brother know me! After all, that's my sister's guest!"
Xuanyuan Huaisheng couldn't help raising his little head proudly when he heard this, turned around and ran out. In this Hefeng courtyard, it is rare for a guest, so of course she will be proud.
"It's the child of the newly appointed household servant Zhou's family, named Nianjun, but he is two years older than your sister and brother." Concubine Ning immediately introduced a simple situation to Xuanyuan Huaijin.
Do you want to be a waiter? It seems that the person I just met is also the servant of the Ministry of Household. Is there any connection between the two? Xuanyuan Huaijin thought carefully in his heart.
In a short time, I saw that Zhou Nianjun was invited over by Xuanyuan Huaisheng. In the face of this little princess, he did not dare to resist at all. When he saw Concubine Ning sitting in front of the bed, he hurriedly tidied up her appearance and came forward to salute.
"This is His Royal Highness, Huaijin. At the same time, he is also Huaisheng's twin brother. Seeing Zhou Nianjun's suspicious look at Xuanyuan Huaijin lying in **, Ning Fei quickly introduced.
"See you, Your Highness." Zhou Nianjun was about to bow down after hearing this, although he felt that His Royal Highness looked so ridiculous at this time, and his face was blue and purple.
"Exemption. Since you are my sister's guest, you are naturally my guest. You don't have to be so polite in this other courtyard. Xuanyuan Huaijin looked at Zhou Nianjun and easily saw that he was also a practitioner. He was immediately interested in knowing the medicinal herbs he planted. "I heard from my sister that you are very interested in my medicine garden."
Zhou Nianjun was shocked when he heard the words. He was still young, so he naturally couldn't understand the identity of the other party at a glance like Xuanyuan Huaijin. However, when he realized that the flower garden he had just stayed was actually the medicine garden of His Royal Highness, he was afraid of offending the cold-looking prince, and he was suddenly at a loss.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just happy to meet you, a person who has the same preferences with me." Xuanyuan Huaijin didn't know what was in Zhou Nianjun's mind. He struggled for a long time and didn't get up, so he had to apologize a little, "I wanted to explore with you, but you also saw that I can't move, so I can only wait for the next time."
"I just heard others describe some flowers and plants, and I felt that they were very similar to the appearance in Your Highness's medicine, so I stopped to observe for a while. Your Highness, please rest assured that I didn't touch a leaf.
Xuanyuan Huaijin was extremely careful about his words at this time. Who would describe these alchemy herbs to a child? Even if that person is not a practitioner, he must know a lot of knowledge about refining medicine. Based on the current information, it is most likely that it is the household servant who has just taken office. It seems that it is necessary for him to find a good understanding of it.
