Chapter 53: Love rival Xie Hanshan's first reaction was stunned and shocked...
Xie Hanshan's first reaction was to be stunned and astonished, but Yinzhen ignored him, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, left a sentence: "Wait here," and ran away.
"Thank you, eunuch?" The young eunuch who came out with him called out softly.
Xie Hanshan came back to his senses and looked at the flower in his arms with some dismay. He asked with a little sadness, "Is it really that ugly?"
The two young eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they could only mumble, "Maybe the prince is in a bad mood."
Xie Hanshan didn't really want their approval, he was just momentarily struck down and doubted his own taste. So he threw the flowers away in frustration and said dejectedly, "Forget it. Ask Miss Fuyun to come out next time."
Fuyun is in charge of Qi Buchen's clothes and accessories. Every time Qi Buchen wants to wear something, she will match it in advance. Qi Buchen rarely raises any objections.
Xie Hanshan thought this meant that Fu Jin really liked Fu Yun's selection, so Fu Yun's taste must be quite good. It was just that he had to share the job of showing off with others.
Forget it. Miss Fuyun is valued by the Lady, so I don't think she would care about this kind of achievement. I can take this opportunity to build a good relationship with her, which is also a guarantee.
Xie Hanshan pondered secretly, the two young eunuchs were usually marginalized people, how could they know about the affairs of the celebrities around the concubines, so they just kept silent and did not express their opinions.
After waiting for almost two incense sticks, Yinzhen finally came back with his men.
Xie Hanshan went up to greet him. Yinzhen seemed casual, but he carefully handed him a bunch of brightly colored flowers in full bloom, saying, "Be careful."
Xie Hanshan took it timidly, thinking that it was indeed much more beautiful than the one he picked himself, and was just about to say a few words of flattery.
Then he heard Yinzhen's deep voice: "Alright, hurry back and don't keep Fu Jin waiting." After he finished speaking, he paused and added, "Remember, you didn't meet me when you came out today."
Xie Hanshan was very confused after hearing this. Was he not asked to tell his wife about the encounter? The master even picked the flowers himself? But why?
Because of his doubts, he didn't reply immediately. Yinzhen was a little impatient: "Can't you hear what I'm saying?!"
Xie Hanshan flinched at the instinctive premonition of danger and quickly agreed, "I heard it, I heard it. I will follow your orders."
Yinzhen glanced at him unkindly. Why do all the people around Fu Jin look so stupid? Never mind, I'll pick out a few who can be used and send them over. Thinking of this, he ignored the still panicking Xie Hanshan and rode away like the wind.
When Xie Hanshan returned to report, he did not dare to tell anyone about his encounter with Yinzhen.
Qi Buchen was very satisfied with his ability to do things: "Not bad, where did you find this? It's so well opened."
Xie Hanshan had no idea where the Fourth Prince had found these things. He could only vaguely say, "Thank you, Madam, for the compliment! My sense of direction isn't very good. I ran a little far away, so I can't tell the exact direction."
Qi Buchen just asked casually, not pursuing the matter further: "Thank goodness you are thoughtful, Baozhu, reward him."
After thanking Hanshan for the reward, he left. Fu Jin was not used to having so many people serving her in the tent.
He found Fuyun and told her that he wanted to invite her to pick flowers together tomorrow.
Fuyun was a little surprised: "Let me judge the quality? Is the father-in-law trying to tease me? I just took a look from a distance, and the ones he picked are of good quality. There is no need for me to judge them."
Xie Hanshan was speechless, and he didn't dare to say that those were picked by the prince. He could only make a few excuses with a wry smile. In the end, Fuyun still did not agree to go together.
She was busy. Lady Fu had worn out her clothes a lot from riding horses recently, and she only had a few riding suits left. She had to take advantage of Lady Fu's rest these few days to make a few more sets, so that she wouldn't be too late when the time came.
Xie Hanshan returned to his place in a depressed mood. The next morning, he dragged the two young eunuchs out to pick fresh flowers. However, he was smarter. After leaving the camp, he headed in the direction where Yinzhen had left yesterday.
Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, I would meet Yinzhen again on the way.
And there is Uliji.
Xie Hanshan's heart skipped a beat. He was not a naive young man. He had been in the palace for many years and was used to seeing the ways in which the concubines at the lower levels tried to attract the emperor.
The situation before him gave him some bad associations.
No, he had to go and find out.
Xie Hanshan was very clear about his position. Since he had chosen his master, he had to do everything for him. Only when his master was well could he do well. Therefore, facing his master's potential future enemies, he bravely...
......rushed to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen, who was absent-minded, did not expect to see Fu Jin again. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why are you out so early?"
What did Fu Jin order again?
Xie Hanshan answered honestly: "My Lord, I came out to pick flowers."
Yinzhen was surprised: "Picking flowers again?"
Yesterday he thought that Fu Jin was just in a whim, so why did she want it again today?
"But what's the matter?" His voice dropped slightly.
Xie Hanshan instinctively wanted to answer truthfully, but he immediately realized that there was a group of Mongolians here.
I don't know whether the smell on this Uliji Gege's body is strong or not. Doesn't the prince find it unpleasant?
He muttered to himself, his mind racing as he thought about how to respond. Thinking of the unpleasant association just now, his eyes rolled slightly as he came up with an idea: "My Lord, I wonder if we've burned too much incense. Fu Jin has been feeling the smell in the tent lately, sometimes even a little nauseous. So, I ordered the servants to pick some fresh flowers to cover the odor with their fragrance."
Qi Buchen had said before that he couldn't get used to the smell of incense, so Xie Hanshan used it again without raising any suspicion. As for the fact that Qi Buchen only disliked the smell and didn't feel sick, wasn't it just the loyal servant being too worried about his master and accidentally misjudging it?
Anyway, he seldom serves at close range, so if he sees something wrong from a distance, it's understandable, and no one can blame him for anything.
The most important thing is to speak more seriously so that we can see the Fourth Prince's attitude, right?
What made Xie Hanshan somewhat happy was that Yinzhen frowned when he heard that Fu Jin was sick, and said unhappily: "Fu Jin is not feeling well? Such a big thing, why didn't you come to tell me!"
That's what he said, but after these incidents, Yinzhen also realized that Fu Jin never took her health problems seriously. This time, she must have instructed someone not to tell him.
As expected, Xie Hanshan did not dare to explain even when he was held accountable. He only pleaded guilty: "Master, please calm down. It's all our fault."
Just as Yinzhen was about to say something else, Wuliji, who had been listening, spoke up: "Fourth Lady can't stand the smell of incense? That's easy to fix. I can't stand the smell of incense either, so I made some mosquito repellent lotion with herbs. If Fourth Prince doesn't mind, why not let Fourth Lady try it?"
"Really?" Yinzhen was clearly unconvinced. The scent he'd found for Qi Buchen the previous time was already the mildest the Imperial Physician could muster. He was skeptical that any random Mongolian woman could be more skilled than the Imperial Physician.
"Of course." Wuliji didn't mind his distrust at all and smiled. "Speaking of which, Fourth Prince might not believe it. I really enjoy tinkering with these things. I can't say anything else, but I am very confident in this aspect." After saying this, she changed the subject and said, "Besides, this thing is harmless. It won't hurt to try it, right?"
Yinzhen hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, if it is useful, I will definitely benefit from you."
"No need." Wuliji smiled indifferently, "But a little Xianglu is nothing compared to the kindness of the Fourth Prince who saved my life."
Xie Hanshan listened anxiously. This Mongolian woman was so skilled! He had originally intended to use the concubine's physical condition to ascertain the prince's attitude, but Wuliji had instead exploited her situation. Not only had he demonstrated his abilities and strengths to the Fourth Prince, he had also gained the prince's favor.
Look at how she displays herself in her words. If I admire her because of this, I will be blamed to death!
But it was no use regretting it now, as Yinzhen and Wuliji had reached a consensus, leaving Xie Hanshan no room to speak.
Yinzhen pointed at Lin Changqing and said, "Take Xie Hanshan and the others, and follow Wuliji Gege's people to get the things, and then send them to Fu Jin."
After seeing off Xie Hanshan and others, Yinzhen said to Wuliji, "Thank you very much for your help today, Princess. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." Then he turned his horse around and was about to leave.
Wuliji stopped him and said, "I don't know what the Fourth Prince is going to do?"
If it weren't for Xianglu, Yinzhen wouldn't have bothered to answer her and would have just ridden away, pretending not to hear. But because of his face, he thought it wasn't a big deal and replied, "Go pick flowers for Fu Jin."
Upon hearing this, Uliji couldn't control his expression and revealed a hint of envy.
There is only one thought in my mind: The Fourth Lady is so lucky!
How could any man on the grassland be so gentle and considerate? Even her father, who loved her the most, didn't have such delicate thoughts. In an instant, her utilitarian thoughts of simply wanting to take advantage of the Fourth Prince's status mostly disappeared, and she truly fell in love with the clear and handsome young man in front of her.
Her thoughts shifted, and her attitude and expression shifted involuntarily. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth Prince is so considerate. But there are so few flowers around here, I doubt he'd even bother to look at them. On our way here, we passed a small, natural valley with a vibrant display of flowers. It was quite pretty, and not too far from the camp."
Yinzhen paused for a moment after hearing this. There weren't many good-looking flowers around here. Yesterday, he'd collected those he'd found by galloping to several places. Today, he was planning to change his direction. If there really was such a place, that would be great.
"Please lead the way, Princess."
Wuliji smiled sweetly upon hearing this and whipped the horse's butt: "Fourth Prince, please follow!"
The figure galloping out was quite heroic.
Yinzhen followed closely behind.
Qi Buchen sent away Li Jiagege, who came over to chat today, and collapsed on the couch, exhausted both physically and mentally.
I really don’t know what the Taoist priest is thinking. If she is pregnant, then she is pregnant. Why is she showing off in front of a 10-year-old girl?
baffling!
With a discontented snort, Qi Buchen sat up straight, ready to eat something. After so many days of nursing, her stomach troubles had long since subsided, and her appetite for meat had returned.
Just as he was about to call for help, he saw Baozhu leading Xie Hanshan in.
Xie Hanshan knelt down in front of her and kowtowed to apologize with a sad face.
"I am guilty, please punish me, Madam."
