90 Days of Spring: Day 24
Yang Fu's embrace is spacious and warm, wrapping her tightly, with the aura of surging tide.
Miaomiao blinked, her mind was numb, and she couldn't react for a while.
Did the prince hug her?
His strength was so strong that Miaomiao was a little breathless. She sobbed, her mood changed from confusion to joy, and she buried her head in Yang Fu's chest. Is the prince worried about her? She can almost feel his arms trembling slightly. Why is this happening? Doesn't he dislike her?
Miaomiao couldn't figure it out, so she couldn't help absorbing the warmth from his body, and put her small hands on his shoulders, "My lord, you hurt me so much..."
They are standing on the pier, surrounded by many people. Fortunately, there are officers and soldiers guarding outside, so you can't see what's going on inside. And even if those officials saw it, they would just smile heartily, which prince doesn't have a few romantic affairs. Maybe they can take advantage of this to please the prince and do what he likes.
Yang Fu then let her go, Wu Tong stared at her small face, "Where did you hurt? Where were you last night, why can't you find it?"
Miaomiao groaned in panic, she hadn't thought of an excuse yet, the worry in his eyes made her ashamed, she hesitated and couldn't speak.
"I..."
"She was washed ashore by the river, and I brought him here." When he was flustered, Wei Ling's calm voice came from behind him.
Yang Fu noticed this person only now, he was wearing the same clothes as Miaomiao, although the fabric was rough, but his appearance was dignified, neither humble nor overbearing.
Miaomiao nodded again and again, "Yes."
Cai ran eagerly just now, Miaomiao almost forgot Wei Ling's existence, he didn't talk to her all the way, Miaomiao still thought he was in a bad mood. Now that she helped herself out of the siege as soon as she opened her mouth, Miaomiao was extremely grateful.
Yang Fu looked at him, "Who is this?"
Miaomiao blurted out: "His name is Lin Wei, he is my friend..."
Miaomiao mentioned his name in front of Yang Fu before, and in a moment of anxiety, she casually mentioned him and made up a name.
"The savior." Wei Ling's eyes fluttered, and she smiled slightly, "I saved her on the shore."
He succinctly described the two people's experiences along the way, which can just explain why Miaomiao survived and how he disappeared all night. Miaomiao was at a loss when she heard it beside her, and even she almost believed it herself.
So it is, Yang Fu said politely: "Thank you for saving me, Miaomiao has caused you trouble."
"It's nothing." Wei Ling looked at the little girl huddled beside Yang Fu, "It happens that I'm going to the capital too, but I'll just drop in."
Miaomiao kept giving him winks from behind, signaling him not to tell what the two of them knew, how could Wei Ling not see it. She didn't want Yang Fu to know, to avoid arousing suspicion, unexpectedly, she still had some brains at critical times. Wei Ling sneered in her heart, and continued to follow her heart, and sure enough, she let out a sigh of relief.
Miaomiao smoothed things over: "In this case, let's go to the capital together!"
Yang Fu looked down at her, "The boat has already left, so I can only take a carriage instead."
The county magistrate at the side had a wink, and upon hearing the sound, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the car, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the subordinate officer has already taken care of it for you."
Even the county magistrate said so, Miaomiao looked at Yang Fu earnestly, waiting for him to nod.
Yang Fu bent his lips and patted her on the head, "It's too late now, we can only wait for tomorrow to leave."
This place is not far from the capital, and it can be reached in three or two hours. However, it was getting late and it was inconvenient to hurry, so I had to stay here for one night. The county magistrate was extremely cautious, fearing that the four kings would be dissatisfied in the slightest. He asked Yang Fu and his party to move to the mansion, "The humble house is simple, please condescend to the prince, and feel wronged here for a night."
The county magistrate's government committee is not really simple, compared with the houses of ordinary people, it can be said to be magnificent.
Yang Fu narrowed his eyes and smiled, but did not expose it.
The county magistrate asked them to arrange rooms for them, and Yang Fu lived in the East Kua Courtyard Wing, which is the place to entertain distinguished guests. Miaomiao is a maid, she should settle elsewhere, the county magistrate said: "This girl..."
Yang Fu said quietly: "She lives with me."
Not only the county magistrate, Lian Miaomiao opened Yuantan's mouth in astonishment, "What..."
The county magistrate nodded again and again after regaining his senses, "Yes, the lower officials are stupid."
Leshan Leshui followed closely behind. They don't need to speak at this time, they just need to follow silently. Wei Ling, who has been silent all this time, raised her eyes and looked forward, "Is it not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room?"
Yang Fu didn't say much, and ordered: "Also, invite a doctor as soon as possible."
He looked at Miaomiao with helplessness in his eyes, "You're hot, didn't you notice it?"
After he mentioned it, Miaomiao touched her forehead in a trance, it seemed that she was hotter than usual, and her body was still chilling intermittently. She thought it was the reason for her rush, and didn't take it to heart. In this way, could it be that she was sick?
*
Many servant girls stood inside and outside the wing room, they were all called by the county magistrate to wait on them, Yang Fu raised his eyebrows, "There is no need for so many people, let's all go out."
The four kings are heroic, elegant and gentle, naturally attracting the attention of many maidservants. Several of them looked at Miaomiao reluctantly when they left, envious of Miaomiao who was sitting on the bed.
The doctor has already diagnosed it, but he just contracted a mild cold, so there is no possibility, and he recovered within two days of recuperation.
Miaomiao was fidgeting, and after Langzhong left, she stepped on her feet and put on her shoes and socks, "I can't live with the prince, I, I, I, I, should... live with Wei and Lin Wei..."
The two lived together at the bottom of the lake before, she didn't realize how inappropriate this sentence was, and only heard Yang Fu ask thoughtfully: "Have you lived together?"
Miaomiao suddenly stopped, only to realize that she had made a big mistake, and looked aside in horror.
Yang Fu sat beside her, looking at her motionless.
Miaomiao shook her head and hurriedly explained: "No, no... After I was rescued by him, I borrowed a night from a family in a mountain village. We... are not living together..."
No matter how you listen to the last sentence, it has a taste of trying to cover up.
The room was silent and no one answered.
Miaomiao became even more nervous, thinking that he had discovered a flaw, so she held her breath and did not dare to take a breath. Through the screen, you can see the figures walking outside. It is the maids who are buying hot water for the prince to wash, and there are also maids who pour tea, pour water, and change clothes. It can be said that they are caring.
If it wasn't for the maid who brought the medicine to break the silence, Miaomiao really didn't know what to do.
She was in a state of confusion, drank the concoction with a few sips, frowned from the bitterness, and begged for candied fruit from the maid beside her.
"Thank you." The servant girl had been prepared for a long time, she bit one and said vaguely.
Yang Fu looked at it, raised his hand to wipe the dark brown medicinal juice from the corner of her mouth, "You have a good relationship with him?"
Miaomiao was deeply involved in the play, and nodded happily, "Of course, he saved my life!"
As soon as she raised her head, she was caught in Yang Fu's deep eyes. Yang Fu didn't say any more, got up and went outside, "You stay here to rest, the king lives next door."
Miaomiao looked at his back in confusion, feeling somewhat lost.
*
Overnight, they set off for the capital.
The county magistrate only prepared a carriage, and Leshan Leshui drove ahead. The carriage was spacious enough to accommodate Yang Fu and Miaomiao. Brocade mats are spread inside, and a few plates of exquisite snacks are placed on the small red lacquer mother-of-pearl table. The exterior of the car is decorated luxuriously and exquisitely, which shows that a lot of thought has been spent.
Miaomiao stepped on the footstool, turned her head to look at the person a few steps away: "Wei..." She paused, then changed her words: "Lin Wei, how did you get there?"
Wei Ling smiled, "There are many ways to get to the capital from here, you don't have to worry about it."
When Miaomiao heard the words, she looked into the car eagerly, and tentatively asked Yang Fu: "My lord, the car is so empty... just the two of us, isn't it too boring?"
Yang Fu's tone did not fluctuate: "I don't think so."
After speaking, Miaomiao had nothing to say, but she still stood motionless outside the carriage. Yang Fu raised his eyes, and the little maid looked sad and pleaded softly, "My lord, can you let Lin Wei go with us? He saved me yesterday, and I don't want to leave him here alone."
Yang Fu laughed, he had never seen a maid who dared to bargain with him, "Miaomiao, are you the prince, or am I?"
Miaomiao answered quickly: "Of course you are."
"Then should you listen to me?"
She nodded: "Listen."
Yang Fu narrowed his eyes, "Get in the car."
Well, it seems that the prince doesn't like to ride with others. Miaomiao stuck out her tongue at Wei Ling, told him to go to the capital by himself, not to get lost on the way, and then slowly moved into the carriage. She should know that Yang Fu used to travel alone in a car, and only later did she let her ride together.
Miaomiao thought about it seriously, as if something was about to come out, she tried her best to recall, but couldn't catch any clues.
Che Yu sets off, and the eyes of the county magistrate always drive away.
Wei Ling looked at it for a while, then turned and left.
*
After drinking the medicine last night, Miaomiao woke up in a much better spirit, alive and kicking, completely no longer the listless look of yesterday.
It's a pity that Yang Fu never said a word, he closed his eyes and leaned against the pillow, maybe he didn't have a good rest in the past two days, there was a light blue circle around his eyes. Miaomiao didn't want to disturb his rest, so she sat on the couch and watched the scenery outside, half of the snacks on the table went into her stomach. She licked the cake crumbs on her fingertips, turned her head and was about to take another piece of jade belt cake, she happened to meet Yang Fu's opened eyes, paused for a moment, then silently withdrew her hand, "My lord, you are awake."
Yang Fu didn't know how long he had been awake, so he looked away lightly, and looked at Xiaoji: "I ate a lot, it seems that my body is fine."
These words were clearly meant to tease her, Miaomiao sipped her lips in embarrassment, and defended herself: "Sister Cen Yun said that I was too thin before, and I want to get fatter."
After these 20 days of intensive care, the little girl's face faded from the initial sallowness, and became fair and lustrous, no longer sallow and thin, looking soft, making people want to pinch those tender cheeks. Not only that, but her figure has also grown a lot, and she finally looks like what a fifteen-year-old girl should have. She was born delicate, with a pair of watery eyes, eyelashes trembling, delicate and cute.
Yang Fu seemed to be in deep thought, his black pupils were unfathomable, and he looked straight at her. It was the same when he woke up just now, he looked at Miaomiao with a guilty conscience, "Does the lord think that I eat too much?"
Where is this, Yang Fu smiled lowly, "There are some."
Miaomiao put the jade belt cake back on the table, holding back her reluctance: "Then I won't eat it."
She was quiet, remembering what happened yesterday, and touched her neck with lingering fear, "Last night... how did the prince deal with it afterwards?"
Yang Fu didn't want to talk about this topic, "Bi Ru has already dealt with it, and she won't threaten your life in the future, just don't worry."
Miaomiao hummed, thinking of him getting into the water for herself last night, she really wanted to ask him, but she couldn't find a chance to ask him.
The carriage traveled all the way to the capital without hindrance. There are officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city, and many people come in and out. Before they enter the city, they can hear the sound of prosperity and excitement inside. When she entered the city, Miaomiao was so rare that she opened the curtain and looked around, wishing she could see the whole street.
The street is bustling with people, and there are various stalls on the side of the road, selling all kinds of things, dazzling. It was the first time she had seen so many people, she poked her head and looked outside, ready to move, and wanted to get out of the car immediately.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of someone riding a horse not far away, she turned her head and saw that it was Wei Ling who was walking behind.
Miaomiao was overjoyed and called him through the crowd. Following the sound, Wei Ling grasped the reins and drove the horse closer.
There was a constant flow of people on the street, and there was half a street between them, so it was not easy to come over. Wei Ling is not good at driving horses, this Miaomiao is clear, at the moment he is frowning, walking is not smooth at all.
Not wanting to embarrass him, Miaomiao got up to get out of the car, but was stopped by Yang Fu: "Where are you going?"
She confessed honestly: "Go and help him, he will have an accident."
Without waiting for Yang Fu to reply, he opened the curtain and was about to get out of the car in a hurry. His wrist tightened suddenly, and Yang Fu brought him back into the car again. A deep voice sounded above his head, "Miaomiao, men and women are different. You should get too close to him."
The two were close together, and Miaomiao's heart was pounding. A thought broke through the soil and took root in her mind.
She finally remembered what happened, "My lord, why do you care about me so much? Didn't you say that you don't like me?"
She raised her head and looked straight into Yang Fu's eyes, which were filled with thousands of stars, shining brightly.
Yang Fu was startled slightly.
