Chapter 259 It’s really tiring to talk to these women
In my reverie, I heard Fang Qingge's voice.
"Concubine Zhang, please have some tea."
Hearing this, the three women suppressed their bitterness one by one. Concubine Zhang took a sip of tea and said to Fang Qingge,
"Sister Fang, to be honest, ever since the two children entered the East Palace, we have been thinking about coming to your place to sit and meet the two children.
But who would have thought that so many things would happen during this period of time.”
Fang Qingge didn't comment or say anything.
She continued,
"Thank God, the children were saved. We can finally put our minds at ease.
Oh! These gifts are for the children to calm their nerves. I hope Sister Fang will accept them and not despise them. "
After saying this, he raised his hand slightly, and three palace maids at the door came over holding brocade boxes in their hands.
*
Fang Qingge looked at the brocade box in front of him and smiled.
"Thank you very much! I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll accept it on behalf of the babies."
"It's my duty. Sister Fang, please don't be so formal."
Concubine Zhang smiled with a bit of pain in her heart.
Fang Qingge is not polite! She turned to her maid and told her to take it.
Mu Man and Hai Tang bowed and responded, then took the gifts one by one with both hands and placed them on the table behind them.
What a joke! They wouldn't dare to mix these three people's gifts with the rewards from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
*
"Concubine Zhang, Lu Liangyuan, and Concubine Qian, please have some tea."
There was really nothing to say, so Fang Qingge just spoke politely in a dry voice.
"Okay, Sister Fang, to be honest, we are all the prince's women, regardless of age.
As the saying goes, people from the same family are not the same, we are destined to be the same. From now on, we are sisters.
As long as you don't get bored, we all like children, so we can just go out together more often!"
Concubine Zhang was smiling.
Lu Liangyuan also said,
"Yes! Fang Liangdi, to be honest, we sisters have not met the two children yet. We also want to see them very much."
"Fang Liang Di, I have always wondered what the two children will look like. You and our Crown Prince are both good-looking, so the two children will definitely be beautiful too."
Concubine Qian said flattering words. Her burning eyes made Fang Qingge feel uncomfortable.
Especially her every frown and smile seemed as if they were imitated from her own movements.
Fang Qingge suppressed his doubts and said,
"Thank you for coming to visit the babies. Today is an unfortunate day! Their injuries cannot be exposed to the wind. The Queen has ordered me to stay indoors for this period of time and make sure to take good care of the children.
When they are better in a few days, you are welcome to come and visit them."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang put down her teacup and said,
"It's okay. No one wants to see such an accident. Fortunately, the two children are blessed with good fortune. Then it's a deal. We sisters will definitely come to visit you someday."
Fang Qingge did not comment.
After sitting for a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward as the group, each with their own thoughts, were not familiar with each other after all.
*
Just at this moment, Nanny Jiang came back from outside the door,
"Reporting to Fang Liangdi, the two young masters have woken up and are looking for you!"
"Oh! Concubine Zhang, please sit down. I'll go take a look."
"No, go and see the kids! We should leave too. We'll talk again when they're well again."
Lu Liangyuan and Concubine Qian also quickly stood up.
"Alright! Madam Jiang, please see Concubine Zhang, Lu Liangyuan, and Concubine Qian off for me."
"Yes, Master."
Several people bowed and said goodbye. Concubine Zhang went out first, followed by Lu Liangyuan and the other two.
*
Fang Qingge walked out of the hall and was about to rush into the main house to check on the babies when Nanny Qi and Nanny Sun, who had been waiting at the door of the main house, spoke up.
"Master, the young masters are not awake. We are all listening!"
At this time, Madam Jiang, who had just sent someone back, came over and said apologetically,
"Fang Liang Di, please forgive Madam Jiang for lying just now. The babies are still asleep. I just don't want to see you sitting here with them and wasting time. It's exhausting."
Fang Qingge laughed.
"Madam Jiang, it's true. It's really tiring to sit and talk with these women! They are all women with impure minds.
Oh! I still miss the time in Hou'er Hutong outside the palace, and the days when I could talk freely with Sister Yuxuan and Sister Ruohan. "
Having said this, Fang Qingge felt a little lost.
*
Haitang was standing at the door of the hall. Seeing Fang Qingge's sudden mood drop, she pretended to be surprised.
"Master, please come in and take a look."
Fang Qingge shook off his unhappy thoughts and walked into the hall again.
"Master, I checked the gifts they brought. No wonder Concubine Zhang looked reluctant to give them up. This time she really bleeds.
You see, what Concubine Zhang gave was a pair of jade pendants, which are of excellent quality.
The gift Lu Liangyuan gave was a pair of gold locks, which were very heavy.
The gift from Concubine Qian was the heaviest, two gold necklaces and two pairs of gold bracelets, so heavy!"
"Well, register them all. Keep them safe!"
"Yes, I understand. We dare not let the young master use the things they sent. What if they are poisonous or something?!"
Haitang's words happened to be heard by Nanny Jiang who came in later and scolded her,
"You think too much. If they want to give something like that, they have to consider the time and occasion. They don't dare to give a gift like today."
"Why?"
Haitang asked in confusion.
"Why? In front are the rewards from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. In the back are the gifts from them. They must be tired of living, so they poisoned me!"
"Oh, that's right! Aunt Jiang, you are the one who thinks things through. Why can't I understand anything?!"
“Hehehe….”
Fang Qingge and the others were amused by Haitang's words.
**
After spending several days sorting out these gifts, Fang Qingge sat down and drank a glass of water.
Suddenly, she remembered the matter of the Imperial Hospital and asked Madam Jiang,
"Madam Jiang, I didn't see Imperial Physician Qi in the Imperial Hospital today. Did he also follow the Crown Prince to Jiangnan City?"
"This, I really don't know, why don't I ask Xiaodouzi to find out?"
Nanny Jiang said.
"Well, that's fine. After you have Xiao Douzi find out everything, take a chance in the next few days to ask the Crown Princess for a token to leave the palace and go out of the palace.
I have some things to talk about.”
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she knew the matter was serious and said,
"Master, please wait. I will ask Xiaodouzi to come over and listen."
"Madame Jiang, I'll go call him."
Soon, Haitang called in Xiaodouzi who was recuperating from his injuries. After taking the pill, Xiaodouzi was surprised.
At this moment, he no longer felt the burning pain from the wounds on his head, face, and body. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as light as a swallow.
Xiaodouzi bowed and said,
"Master, your orders."
"Xiaodouzi, did Imperial Doctor Qi also follow the prince to Jiangnan City?"
"Yes, he did. I saw him in the team."
