Chapter 103

Hua Yang conscientiously pretended to be sick in the palace.

At the beginning, there was no need to pretend, the symptoms of stuffy nose and cough took seven or eight days to heal, plus the "nightmare" in the middle of the night, no one who saw her would suspect that she was pretending to be sick.

When the cold is gone, in order to hide his "nightmare" symptoms, Hua Yang eats less on purpose, and at the same time wakes up in the middle of the night on purpose, and he wakes up for more than an hour.

If she doesn't eat well and sleep well, she will become haggard day by day, like the full moon on the night of the Lantern Festival, heading straight for the thin sickle.

Seeing that his jade plate-like daughter was getting more and more "short of money and less money", Emperor Jingshun couldn't be more worried.

Originally, at the end of last year, there was a balance of 500,000 taels in the treasury. Emperor Jingshun, who had not drafted for two years, secretly thought about drafting, and waited for the announcement at the next year's court meeting. But his beloved daughter fell into the water and caught the cold.Emperor Shun is still in the mood for a draft.Beauty can be found at any time, but Hua Yang is the most precious daughter.

Emperor Jing Shun, who gave up the draft, began to hire famous doctors all over Capital City, who made the waste in Tai Hospital always unable to cure his daughter!

The imperial physicians were worried and anxious, but luckily the princess was kind-hearted and kept speaking up for them, and Emperor Jingshun was also considered to have a good temper, and he didn't want to cut off their heads at every turn.

Hua Yang carefully controlled the number of times he had "Nightmare".

At the end of the first month, she had nightmares every night.

In the first ten days of February, she changed it to once every two or three days, and then changed it to once every four or five days in the second ten days of February.

He still eats less food, his face is always thin, and when he sees his father and mother, he pretends to be listless and unmotivated, which makes Emperor Jingshun feel distressed every time.

On this day, Princess Nan Kang came to visit Hua Yang. Looking at Hua Yang's beautiful and pitiful sick beauty lying on the bed, Nan Kang wondered in a low voice: "Didn't you just fall into the water once? As for why you have been sick for so long? I doubt youDeliberately stay in the palace."

Hua Yang looked at her, and suddenly pulled up the quilt and began to sob.

Chaoyun saw him, and immediately ran to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to file a complaint with Emperor Jingshun.

Emperor Jingshun rushed over after hearing the news, Hua Yang repeated Nan Kang's words with red eyes, and said with shame: "Father, why don't you send me back to the Chen Mansion, lest the people in Capital City criticize me as a married woman?"The princess still lives in the palace for a long time, coveting the favor of the emperor."

Emperor Jingshun looked at the other daughter with a sullen face.

As early as when Chaoyun ran away, Princess Nan Kang knew that she was going to suffer, and stammered: "Father, I, I was just joking with my sister..."

Emperor Jingshun: "Look at how thin she has become, and you still joke with her like this? Since you were young, you have been comparing yourself to Hua Yang. I don't care about your daughter's character, but Hua Yang is so sick.As a big sister, you just don't care about her, but you even came here to mock her!"

Nan Kang's face was pale, and he could only kneel down to plead guilty.

Emperor Jingshun snorted: "Go back, you don't have to enter the palace again until Hua Yang recovers."

Knowing that his father was angry, Nan Kang resigned aggrievedly.

Emperor Jingshun looked at his sick daughter again.

Hua Yang looked miserable: "Father, is this disease of mine curable anymore?"

Emperor Jingshun's gaze immediately became extremely gentle, and he held his daughter's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to look for Li Taiyi, and there are other famous doctors who can definitely cure you."

Hua Yang nodded obediently.

The empress father and mother always regarded her as a well-behaved and lovely daughter, and they didn't want her to be interested in state affairs, and when such a pampered princess fell ill, the empress father and mother would never suspect that she was planning something.

In March, Hua Yang only had nightmares once every ten days. People began to regain some energy and were willing to go to the Imperial Garden.

Emperor Jingshun finally breathed a sigh of relief as his daughter was expected to recover from illness.

It's just that the timing of his draft in previous years was too early, so Emperor Jingshun simply stopped thinking about it, and it will be the same when he re-selects next year.

On the evening of the ninth day of April, Hua Yang had dinner with his father, queen mother, and younger brother, and somewhat embarrassedly proposed that he wanted to leave the palace tomorrow.

Emperor Jingshun looked at his daughter's ruddy but still thin face, and said reluctantly: "No hurry, let's stay for a while, and let's talk about it when it's fully healed."

Empress Qi listened silently, while the prince agreed with his father's words.

Hua Yang lowered his eyes, and whispered: "I'm already healed, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that the son-in-law and the others will continue to worry..."

Her voice was getting lower and lower.

Emperor Jingshun suddenly understood that his daughter wanted to be a son-in-law.

After all, they are young couples who have only been married for more than three years. How can there be any reason to live apart for a long time?

Emperor Jingshun couldn't persuade him anymore, so he looked at Empress Qi.

Only then did Empress Qi smile and said: "It's time to go back. The last few times we met, I see that the son-in-law has lost a lot of weight."

Emperor Jingshun ordered Eunuch Ma: "Send someone to the Chen Mansion, and let the son-in-law come to pick up the princess tomorrow morning."

Eunuch Ma went to make arrangements immediately.

Chen Fu.

Chen Jingzong still rode for an hour before returning from the guard. When he learned that his mother was looking for him, he went to Chunhetang first.

Both Chen Tingjian and the Sun family were there.

When Sun saw her son, she said happily, "The princess has recovered from her illness, and the emperor asked you to pick her up tomorrow morning."

Chen Jingzong scoffed.

Chen Tingjian: "What's your attitude?"

Chen Jingzong: "I don't have any attitude, she is a princess, even if she never comes back, I, the son-in-law, can only bear it."

Chen Tingjian: "Do you think the princess is willing? She has been ill for so long. First, she can't help herself, and second, she is sympathetic to us. When she really comes back, the emperor will ask if we didn't take good care of her. Can you bear it?"

Chen Jingzong: "Whatever you say."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Chen Tingjian was sullen.

Sun sighed: "In our family, the fourth child is the one who worries about the princess the most. If you were sick, I wish I could watch over you day and night. He was stopped outside the palace and could only lighten his eyes if he couldn't see anyone."Don’t worry, it’s strange if you don’t hold back the fire in your heart.”

Chen Tingjian: "I understand, I'm just afraid that he will really show his face to the princess."

Sun: "You are always like this. You are a character, and the sons can't hold their breath. Everything in their hearts is written on their faces, right?"

Chen Tingjian: "He shouldn't even have the thought of complaining. In front of the princess, he is a minister first and then a husband."

Sun: "Then, should I, an old woman from a small remote town, treat you as an elder first and then as a husband?"

Chen Tingjian: ...

Mrs. Sun slapped the table, stared, and went to the inner room, but didn't leave the door open for him.

Chen Tingjian had no choice but to rest alone in the front yard.

The next day, Chen Tingjian got up early and sent someone to watch out for the movement of the fourth child, and asked the steward to inform the fourth child to come to Chunhetang before leaving.

Not long after breakfast, the steward came and said embarrassingly: "Master Ge, the son-in-law didn't listen, just got in the car and left, I can't stop him."

Chen Tingjian waved his hand and told him to back down.

In the palace, Chen Jingzong first went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to pay his respects to Emperor Jingshun. Not long after, Empress Qi and the crown prince accompanied Hua Yang.

Chen Jingzong's eyes fell on Hua Yang's face, as if stuck, he moved away several times, and soon moved over involuntarily.

This was a sign of deep yearning. Emperor Jingshun and Empress Qi laughed, and even the thirteen-year-old prince understood what was going on.

Hua Yang's earlobe was slightly hot. This person used to behave well in front of his father, queen and empress. Today he will be reunited soon. Why can't he control it?

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hua Yang got on the chariot and led Chen Jingzong out of the palace.

Chen Jingzong helped her into the carriage, and he followed.

Hua Yang looked at him silently.

In the past two months, Chen Jingzong visited the palace every two or three days. As her condition slowly improved, he only visited the palace on holidays.

As the queen mother said, Chen Jingzong has indeed lost weight.

But Hua Yang has tried her best to suggest that he is relieved. She pretended to be pitiful in front of her father and mother. When talking to Chen Jingzong alone, she looked relaxed and even teased him a few words, because she knew that Chen Jingzong didn't need to reveal this to the outside world.

According to Chen Jingzong's performance in the palace just now, Hua Yang thought that he would hold her in his arms as soon as he got in the car, kiss her, and then ask her if she was really well.

However, to Hua Yang's surprise, Chen Jingzong just sat on the other side of the couch, pursing the corners of his lips, his handsome face became more and more indifferent because of his thinning.

Hua Yang immediately realized that the Chen Jingzong in front of him was the real Chen Jingzong, and he was just playing for his father, queen and queen.

Hua Yang guessed: "Because I lived in the palace for too long, am I angry?"

Chen Jingzong: "I dare not."

Hua Yang: "I think you are very brave."

Chen Jingzong didn't respond, and turned his head to the other side, as if he didn't even want to see the corner of her clothes.

Hua Yang was silent.

When she was just married, she didn't care whether Chen Jingzong was angry or not, but after two years of relatively loving life, Hua Yang was not used to Chen Jingzong's sudden gesture of this kind.

She smiled and looked at the car window on her side: "I knew you didn't want to see me, so why should I ask you to make this trip, just come back by yourself."

Chen Jingzong gave her a low laugh back, full of sarcasm.

Hua Yang suddenly got used to it again, that's how the two of them got here in their last life, you satirized me and I satirized you.

If Hua Yang had lived comfortably for more than two months, and she really didn't want to go out of the palace on purpose, Hua Yang might feel a little ashamed of Chen Jingzong, but she wasn't like that.

She twisted the bracelet on her wrist.

She wore this bracelet during the Lantern Festival, and it was just right. The bracelet would slide slightly along the wrist during the movement, but it would not fall too low and get in the way of the hand.

Now, when she lowered her arm, the jade bracelet was drawn directly to the bottom, covering half of her palm.

Of course, she asked for it all on her own, and she doesn't regret it.

But Chen Jingzong called her ancestor so dearly at night, and now he didn't feel sorry for her at all, and even played temper with her.

The carriage stopped in front of the Chen residence.

When Hua Yang got off the car, Chen Jingzong was already standing beside her. Not far away, Chen Tingjian and others came out to meet her.

Hua Yang glanced at Chaoyun from the corner of his eye, but still passed his hand to Chen Jingzong.

After getting off the car, she greeted her father-in-law and the others as usual.

Sun's and Yu Xiu's eyes were red, Luo Yuyan was not so sentimental, but she turned pale with shock after seeing Hua Yang's weight loss.

Wan Yi even threw himself into Hua Yang's arms, tears streaming down his face: "Fourth Aunt, I miss you so much."

Hua Yang patted the little girl's head and said with a smile: "I'm back, I will come to play with me often in the future."

Chen Tingjian said with concern: "The princess is recovering from a serious illness, go back to Si Yitang to rest first, don't be tired."

Hua Yang was indeed not in the mood to socialize, so he led Wan Yi away.

She stayed with Wan Yi for almost half an hour, mainly to ask about the situation in Chen's mansion recently, and then told Wan Yi about her illness, and through Wanyi, she convinced her father-in-law and others that she was really cured.Conditioning for a while.

After Wan Yi left, Hua Yang went to lie down on the bed.

She played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, it was the finest suet white jade, warm and moist with her body temperature.

After an unknown amount of time, the voices of servant girls saluting the son-in-law came from the courtyard.

Hua Yang flicked the bracelet again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Footsteps came in, and they stopped outside Ba Bu's bed for a while, and finally came to the bed and sat down.

"After pretending to be sick for so long, it's fun, isn't it, to torment yourself like a ghost or a ghost?"

The cold voice, like a piece of tung oil boiling and tumbling under the calm surface, suppressed the anger that was about to burst out at any time.

Hua Yang turned around, frowned and asked, "Why pretend to be sick?"

She never told Chen Jingzong that she was faking, she just acted relaxed and hoped that he would not worry too much.

Chen Jingzong looked at her: "I'm not a fool, and you're not a princess who would run to step on the ice regardless of danger."

She was able to fool the emperor, the empress, and the prince because she might look like a arrogant little princess in the palace.

But her words and deeds in Ling Zhou and the Chen family were noble and arrogant, but she was never willful or impulsive.

The old man knew it, and so did he.

And he knew more than the old man.
