Chapter 27: Riding into the palace, saying that the prince has difficulty walking
Bought for seven taels of silver, so seven taels is just right.
Qi Liang immediately knelt on the ground and said loyally, "Thank you for the name, Second Miss. Qi Liang will obey your orders from now on."
He was about to put on his cotton-padded jacket when he suddenly felt a separate pocket inside it.
"Huh?"
Qiliang felt that the way the pockets were sewn was somewhat familiar.
"Your grandmother and sister asked me to bring this to you when we were passing by," Xie Yao said, taking out the candy Xing'er had given her. "Don't worry, they don't know you've been expelled from the Bo's Mansion."
Qiliang stared blankly at the bag of malt candy. His sister's smiling face with missing front teeth appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
Before he was betrayed by Aunt Sun, he specifically asked his companions in the Bo Mansion to hide it from his family. His mother was sick, his sister was still young, and his grandmother was already old. He was afraid that they would worry.
"I haven't been home for two months. I wonder how they are doing." Qiliang asked in a trembling voice.
Ren Dong said on Xie Yao's behalf, "I've seen your mother. She has postpartum edema. The second young lady left some money for your family. Follow the prescription I gave you. It shouldn't be difficult to cure. As for the old lady and your sister, they're both fine now."
"Second Miss, you have been so kind and generous that seven taels of silver are not enough to repay you. Since you have bought me, from now on, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will not refuse even if it means seven taels of silver and a thousand deaths!"
This time, Qiliang straightened his back and kowtowed heavily, his voice hoarse and serious.
Xie Yao said, "I don't need you to go through fire and water. First find a clinic to heal your wounds, then go back to the Bo Mansion to work. I bought you back, and Aunt Sun has no right to control you."
As she spoke, she took out the silver note her uncle had given her and gave him half of the silver in the money box.
"Miss Er, I don't need these to treat my injuries." Qiliang was shocked by the heavy gold and silver, and stammered.
Rendong also opened her eyes wide, not understanding why the second young lady wanted to give seven taels of so much money.
Xie Yao took out a piece of paper from her bosom. It was the list she had written yesterday - it was a big gift she gave to the Xie family.
"In addition to treating my injuries, I also want you to secretly buy the items on this paper for me. When you return home, I'll leave the items at your residence."
The revenge from the previous life has not yet happened, and even Honeysuckle doesn't know what she is going to do.
Qilian attended a private school for two years when he was young. Later, because his family was poor, he sold himself to his uncle's house, so he knew some words.
When he saw what was on the paper, he was shocked.
He is a smart man and knows what to ask and what not to ask.
"I will definitely get it done for the second young lady." Qiliang folded the list and stuffed it into his arms, saying seriously.
An hour was almost up and Xie Yao returned to Yunhe Tower.
The meals brought for Xiao Yizi were being served one after another, each one steaming hot.
Xie Yao put the food in a lunch box. Fearing that it would get cold, she wrapped the box with two layers of cloth, made it into a small bundle, and carried it on her back.
She asked Rendong to find the carriage from the Bo Mansion and go back first.
Honeysuckle was stunned: "If I go back, what will you do, Second Miss?"
Xie Yao directly rode on the green horse that Xiao Yizi had left at Yunhe Tower, holding the reins in one hand and the long sword in the other: "I'm riding a horse."
Yunhe Tower is not very close to Jingbei Palace. By the time you take a car to the palace, the food will definitely be cold.
"drive!"
Without waiting for Rendong's consent, Xie Yao had already rubbed the mane of the green horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
Although this horse is used to pull Xiao Yizi's carriage, it has a strong physique and should have been a warhorse under the cavalry of the Jingbei Army in the southern border.
It seemed as if it could sense the surging emotions of the rider, and its four hooves surged like blazing fire, galloping again after a long absence.
The cold wind blew up Xie Yao's clothes. She felt like she was back to the early morning before her death, and back to the days when she fought on the battlefield.
She still refused to accept her fate.
This time, she holds her own knife, holds the reins in her hands, and decides her own fate. Everything is changing.
Xie Yao galloped all the way to the Jingbei Palace. Just as she was about to dismount, she found that the gate of the palace was open.
Bai Zhu's face darkened when he saw her riding towards him.
After the prince was injured, he could no longer mount his horse, wield his spear, and fight bravely against the enemy as he used to.
Therefore, in the past two years, the prince has never ridden a horse, and they never dared to ride a horse in front of the prince.
Even in normal times, words like "walk", "row", "run and jump" are not mentioned.
Unexpectedly, Miss Xie came riding on horseback. She was really bold.
He was about to stop Xie Yao when Bai Di hurried forward.
Along the way, he informed the servants as the old housekeeper requested that Miss Xie Er was already the princess, and they should call her princess.
As for who asked the butler to do so, he didn't know.
Then, Bai Xi greeted in a loud voice: "Greetings, Princess. The prince is in Liuxia Courtyard behind the main hall. You can ride over there on horseback."
Xie Yao rode her horse into the palace unhindered. When the servants saw her, they bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Princess!"
When Xie Yao walked over, the servants gathered together and started talking.
"That must be Miss Xie, the second young lady His Majesty arranged for the prince to marry. She's just as arrogant as the rumors say. She even rode a horse to the palace. Is she mocking the prince..."
"If the prince hadn't been injured, it wouldn't have been their turn to marry him as his concubine."
"Hey, what you're saying, are you dreaming of marrying the prince..."
"Everyone says the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion is a family of scholars, but I didn't expect Second Miss Xie to be so ignorant of the rules. Just wait and see, when she angers the prince...tsk tsk tsk."
"Stop talking, go and report to the old lady and Madam Zhou."
Soon, Xie Yao rode to Liuxiayuan.
In the center of the yard there is a tall, winding sumac tree, whose leaves are still red in late autumn. From a distance, it seems to be connected with the sunset glow in the sky.
She dismounted and walked into the yard, just as Xiao Yizi was being pushed out by the old housekeeper.
When Xie Yao saw King Jingbei, her eyes became brighter.
The prince was also dressed exceptionally handsomely today, wearing a vermilion dragon robe and a dark gold crown to tie his hair. He sat upright in a wheelchair, looking majestic and cold, and his ink-black peach eyes were deep and charming.
The dragon robe rustled with the falling leaves, making him look less gloomy and aggressive, and appearing much younger.
Xiao Yizi noticed that Xie Yao was staring at him, and he straightened his chest calmly.
Xie Yao had seen enough before asking, "Has the prince had his meal yet?"
The butler said, "Dinner has not yet been served. Does the princess wish to join the prince? This old servant will prepare it immediately."
Xie Yao then untied her small bag and said, "Since it doesn't work, Your Majesty can try this. It should still be hot."
She took out the food box from her bag and gently opened the lid.
Xie Yao's horsemanship was among the best in the army, and the food in the lunch box was not affected by the bumps, and each dish was as fresh as if it had just come out of the pot.
The tempting aroma of rice wafted out, and the butler complimented, "Princess, you arrived so quickly! The thickening of this meat-stuffed eggplant dish hasn't even dissolved yet."
Xie Yao put down the knife and looked into the house. She didn't see any dining table, so she took the food in the lunch box one by one and placed it on the stone table in the yard.
There was also a bowl of steaming rice, which she placed next to Xiao Yizi.
"I saw a royal carriage parked at the Yunhe Tower stables. I guess Your Highness likes the food here. Please try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."
Xiao Yizi finally spoke: "Yunhe Tower is too far from the palace. I am not very good at walking, so I haven't been there for a long time."
"That's why we have to try it. Your Highness has been fighting so hard away from home. Now that he has finally returned to the capital to enjoy himself, doesn't he want to eat something delicious?"
Xie Yao smiled and advised, "The food at Yunhe Tower is so delicious. If you have difficulty walking and don't like going out, just ask the servants to buy a fast horse and it will take less than half an hour."
She put herself in his shoes. When she was fighting in the north, she dreamed of eating delicious food in a restaurant after the war. Now that she was back in Beijing, she naturally wanted to have a big meal.
Xiao Yizi has a problem with his legs, but it's not like his subordinates also have problems with their legs. If he doesn't go out, can't he ask his subordinates to buy it for him?
When the housekeeper heard Xie Yao's words, his heart skipped a beat.
It's over. Why did the future princess bring up the past battles and even said that the prince has difficulty walking and doesn't like to go out!
