Eighty-Five Rain

  "The Crown Prince and Prince Wei has arrived."

  Upon hearing the servant's words, Jiu Si'er was taken aback and recalled the misunderstanding between her and Yang Guo Feng earlier, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

  But thinking that Empress Yang might let these two people go to the front hall, her heart also slightly relaxed.

  "I'm tired today, you let them two come over here."

  But unexpectedly this mother of a country is actually very unscrupulous, after casting a glance in her direction, she waved her hand at that servant.

  I just want to verify it, she's really a woman who doesn't have sand in her eyes, ah!

  The ninth sister couldn't help but let out a silent sigh in her heart.

  At this time, Ouyang Zhi and Yang Guofeng had already entered the palace together, paying their respects to Empress Yang.

  Ouyang Zhi's eyes had clearly improved a lot, his pupils were much brighter, it seemed that the effect of the carrot was quite significant...

  "Thank you, Miss Wenjiu, for your good medicine!" Just as she was thinking this, Ou Yangzhi had already turned to her.

  She hastily paid her respects to the two of them, and then modestly said, "It's all thanks to Your Highness' good fortune that this small trick I happened to have learned has been able to be of great use."

  But unexpectedly, such a common compliment triggered a huge response from Ouyang and his mother.

  Ouyang Zhi's face, which had been calm and peaceful, suddenly became complex, with a mix of emotions: nostalgia, excitement, gratitude... and seemingly, a hint of resentment.

  "Yes, indeed, Zhi'er had a few brushes with death even before he was born, and after birth, he has been through many difficulties. If it weren't for the fact that he really has some good fortune, I'm afraid..." Yang Huanghou's face turned pale, her tone sorrowful, and when she spoke halfway, she gazed at her son with warm eyes, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

  Looking at the two of them, Jiu Si'er couldn't help but pause for a moment. Had her words stirred up some bitter memories for this mother and son?

  But... but I really didn't mean to...

  In a moment of contemplation, I suddenly felt a numbness on my scalp, and as I slightly turned my eyes, they met a pair of deep, dark, and slender eyes.

  But what does this mean? Why are you frowning again? What you said is really not a casual remark.

  Jiuer stared blankly at Yang Guofeng.

  To be honest, this cold-faced person often makes such an expression, really has a bit of charm, and I don't know how those beauties can bear it...

  "Taboo brother also has a plan, that is to use the good method of Wen Jiuniang in the military camp, and there are not many soldiers who have this situation." At this time, Ou Yangzhi had already escaped from the bitter memories and said to Yang Huanghou.

  "Is that so? What a great idea, then we won't have to worry about night battles anymore, and our military strength will increase significantly." The Empress Yang, who was quite knowledgeable about military strategy, immediately nodded in approval.

  "Hmm, I'll let people plant more of this in the garrison, it can be used as both military rations and medicine..." Then Yang Guofeng naturally joined the discussion between the two.

  A few people said a couple more sentences, then Ouyang Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, today I have to thank Brother for his wise eyes. He said that the red radish is a good thing, otherwise I would have really missed out on this great opportunity with Wen Jiuniang."

  Upon hearing this sentence, Empress Yang's gaze immediately swept over her nephew's cold face and landed on Jiu Si'er's face.

  These royal people are really unkind, Ninth Sister couldn't help but scold them in her heart.

  She naturally didn't believe Ou Yang Zhi's words were unintentional, and it was probably another test.

  But she was puzzled, how did he know so soon, was it necessary? This little ambiguity, is it worth the crown prince's extra thoughts...

  "Reading ten thousand volumes is not as useful as traveling ten thousand miles. Your brother has been to so many places in the south and north, naturally he's seen a lot and knows a lot." Yang Huanghou said with a smile.

  Although it is said so, Ninth Sister has a premonition that Empress Yang will not let this matter pass easily.

  "Ah, Feng'er, I suddenly remembered something. You attended the Chrysanthemum Banquet at the Fan residence a few days ago, didn't you? How was it?" The Empress Yang indeed smiled and asked again.

  Chrysanthemum banquet, it sounds like a matchmaking dinner party.

  It's probably the Fan family, the one with the Minister of War, right? I heard that their eldest and second daughters are twins, and both were born beautiful as flowers. In the noble circles of the capital, they're known as the "Fan Family Twin Flowers".

  Yes, you have good fortune indeed.

  "It's all right!" But Yang Guofeng just responded vaguely.

  "It's fine... then it's good, then it's good!" But this one sentence already made that Empress Yang delighted.

  "Auntie, I'll take my leave first." But Yang Guo Feng seemed unwilling to discuss this further and bid farewell to Empress Yang.

  "Ah, good!" Empress Yang nodded.

  "I'll send him off!" Ouyang Zhi said to Empress Yang.

  "Well, go!" Empress Yang waved her hand at the two of them.

  The two of them turned around and walked away.

  The beautiful and dignified face of Empress Yang could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.

  Satisfying and reasonable!

  Glancing at her expression, Jiu Si also couldn't help but nod in agreement in her heart. How could the declining Wen family compare to the Fan family?

  The door is opposite the house, a political marriage, I don't know how much more help will be added...

  Alas, the servant who was entrusted to prepare her carriage had already hastily returned.

  Empress Yang then exchanged a few more pleasantries with her and ordered someone to see her off.

  Until she got off the sedan chair and boarded the horse carriage, leaving behind the deep and secluded palace in the gloomy dusk, Jiujiu finally let out a gentle sigh.

  She began to miss Wenfu a little, because compared to this place, Wenfu was many times better.

  I really hope I never set foot in this place again!

  But it should calm down for a while, Jing Ning was scolded and got married soon after, I guess the idea of finding trouble with her will also fade away.

  Just now she took advantage of Empress Yang's good mood and found an excuse that the two embroidery pieces couldn't be finished in a short period, so maybe she could get some peace for a while.

  Her gaze suddenly fell on the pile of rewards in the car, and a faint smile slowly bloomed on her delicate face. In this way, it seems that today's adventure was still worth it...

  "Ah——"

  But suddenly the carriage jolted.

  Has the horse carriage broken down? Ninth Sister was taken aback, how unlucky is this?

  It turns out that's just how unlucky I am——

  The little servant came quickly with an apologetic face to inform her that the carriage was broken and she needed to wait a bit.

  Forget it, this doesn't count as anything, just wait a bit longer, and soon the ninth sister will comfort herself like this again?

  Gently lifted the car curtain, took a look outside, but found that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, there were not many people on the street, everyone was in a hurry, and the vendors were also packing up, probably afraid of rain.

  She couldn't help but worry again, hoping the rain would come a little later...

  "Crack!"

  But she had hardly finished thinking this when a sound came from far and near, and autumn rain arrived.

  "Never mind, come in and take shelter from the rain!"

  The ninth sister couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly lifted the curtain, shouting at the driver who was tinkering with the carriage shafts and the little servant.

  "Thank you, miss, it's all right! We'll just hide under the carriage for a while!"

  But they both shook their heads.

  The ninth sister still wants to say something.

  The two of them had quickly ducked down and hid under the car.

  Uh...

  The ninth sister was naturally helpless and could only pray for the rain to stop soon!

  "Whoosh——"

  But heaven was once again at odds with her, and a minute later, the rain not only didn't stop, but instead grew even heavier.

  The sky also darkened, and wisps of rain smoke splashed on the rooftops of shops on both sides. The entire street was shrouded in misty rain.

  Looking at this situation, the car driver and that little servant also couldn't stay any longer, crawling out from under the carriage shaft, wanting to find someone for help or to send a message.

  But soon they were disappointed, for there were few people on the street at this moment, and occasionally a horse-drawn carriage passed by, also at an extremely fast speed.

  What to do? Ninth sister was also anxious, although Yang Huang Hou had instructed someone to send a message to the mansion, but she had been out for almost a day, and everyone would definitely be worried.

  And also, this rain seems like it won't stop for a while, how long will she be trapped? Not to mention the sky is already dark...

  "Prince Wang's carriage... Where is Prince Wang's carriage..."

  But at this time, the little servant suddenly shouted loudly with joy.

  The ninth sister heard the sound and lifted the curtain of the carriage again, and sure enough, she saw a black horse-drawn carriage rushing through the rain and fog.

  Is that so? But she clearly remembers that this person left earlier than her because he had a car, could it be that the little waiter made a mistake...

  Before he knew it, the carriage had already arrived nearby.

  It seems that the little servant was not wrong, because the car driver wearing a raincoat pulled the horse's head, and the carriage had already stopped. Then Yang Guofeng, holding a black umbrella, got out of the car.

  The ninth sister looked past the rain and mist, and saw that the little servant was pointing to the carriage she was in, while speaking to Yang Guofeng, who raised his eyes and looked over here.

  The ninth sister couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why can't she stand proudly in front of this man just once? Every time it ends up like this...

  The little servant soon handed over to Yang Guofeng, who was late again due to going somewhere else on business, and then naturally moved her and the goods to Yang Guofeng's carriage.

  She was really lucky and got another chance to ride with this golden bachelor of the capital city.

  She naturally didn't pretend, although this doesn't follow the rules, but at this moment it's also unavoidable.

  However, something unexpected happened during the move ——

  Yang Huang Hou bestowed those things, she didn't want that little eunuch and the charioteer to touch them, because these two people were no longer just two fallen chickens, and most of the bestowed things were some medicinal materials and supplements, which would naturally be imperfect if they had been handled by others, so she couldn't please Li Tai Jun, so she didn't pretend to use those two people's hands, but instead personally moved them one by one.

  It didn't take much effort, she moved a few things, and Yang Guofeng helped her move most of them.

  "Thanks for your help, Prince Wang!" As she sat in the carriage, she immediately wiped the rain from her face and thanked Yang Guofeng.

  It turns out that you really can't judge a person by their appearance. Previously, she didn't expect this man to be so good, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, very gentlemanly.

  He was originally going to hold the umbrella for her too, but she was really too embarrassed and refused, that's why she got soaked.

  She suddenly remembered her fifth sister and couldn't imagine how such a man could be so heartless.

  Anyway, you already have so many women, what's one more?...

  But soon, Jiu realized she was wrong ——

  For her sincere thanks, the man didn't give any response. His deep black eyes quickly swept over her and suddenly he swung his arm, throwing a large piece of cloth over, "Wipe yourself clean, don't catch a chill!"

  She took over Bu Jin, and her sister was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head, and in an instant, her face turned bright red.

  Her wet clothes had stuck to her body, and her slender figure was fully exposed.

  She was both shy and embarrassed, and quickly hugged the fabric tightly in front of her chest.

  Yang Guofeng had already turned his head sideways, closed his eyes, and put on that old monk-like expression of entering a meditative state.

  Seeing him like this, the ninth sister's heart also gradually put down, but suddenly felt her nose itching, and couldn't help but elegantly sneeze a few times.

  She hastily covered her mouth, and her face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.

  The man suddenly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on her face, saying in a low voice, "I hope the young lady remembers that nothing is more important than one's body and reputation!"

  Jiujie was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.

  This horse is actually...is teaching her a lesson, and this isn't even the first time, it's the second.

  This time it even added a name, is it another misunderstanding that she's flirting with him, what a mess...

  Being calculated, being bullied, being cheated, and being twisted, all the resentment and frustration of the day found a breakthrough in an instant.

  "Stop!" She couldn't bear it any longer, threw down that burden and shouted loudly.

  This shout was comparable to the mighty roar of his previous life in that noisy classroom, and its volume was naturally enough to shock not only the man in front of him but also the horse carriage beneath him seemed to shake slightly.

  "Grandpa..."

  The horse carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman outside asked in a low voice through the curtain.

  Yang Guofeng was still in a daze.

  However, Jiu Jie'er quickly picked up her belongings and pretended to get off the bus.

  Can she just stay out of this?

  "What are you doing?" By this time Yang Guofeng had already reacted and stretched out his long arm as if he was about to grab her.

  "A man's reputation is just as important, how could you forget that?" She flashed a cold smile and raised her leg to get off the carriage.

  "Unacceptable." Yang Guofeng also got angry, his handsome face turned dark, and he didn't stop her anymore, only coldly saying a sentence behind her.

  And yet... and yet he says she's unreasonable, what a damn idiot is this guy?

  Jiuer's anger had reached its peak, and she refused to get out of the carriage. She turned her head, looked at him with a cold smile, and said, "Hehe... I'm unreasonable, but are you, Your Highness, reasonable? You helped me, assisted me, yet in your heart, you actually despise me, a perfect hypocrite..."

  "What did you say?"

  Never thought that after helping her many times with good intentions, she not only didn't show gratitude but instead spoke of him in this way. Yang Guofeng's pair of black eyes slowly narrowed.

  "What did I say? I said you're a hypocrite, I said you can't tell right from wrong. You think I want to be like this? I'm not you...I don't have your background or your talent for manipulating others. I'm just...just a fallen noble's insignificant daughter, being squeezed and oppressed, bullied and controlled, even having to scheme for survival. So all I can do is pretend to be clever and calculating every day, afraid to say one more word or sentence, fearing that someone will find fault with me and speak insincerely, watching others' faces to know how to act. Even so...every day it's like walking on thin ice. Do you think I want any of this?"

  Jiuer, however, was not afraid of him at all. She poured out her words in a joyful and unbridled manner, but later on, when she thought about the various things in life, she couldn't continue speaking and choked back tears.

  Yang Guofeng's icy expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by astonishment.

  The girl's sobbing, accompanied by the seemingly endless rain outside, echoed through the desolate and eerie streets on this cold night.

  The driver outside the carriage couldn't help but frequently turn his head and gaze at the lowered curtain.

  But suddenly a long and delicate hand appeared in his line of sight, and then the car curtain was lifted. His master, Wei Yuan Wangye, got out of the car with one leg, without even taking an umbrella, and stood in the rain, instructing him, "Ningping Houfu, send Wen Jiuniang back!"

  "But..." The driver looked at his master, wanting to say something.

  "Hurry up!" But Yang Guofeng just gave him a punch of gestures.

  He didn't dare say more, waving the whip in his hand, shouting "Drive!", and the carriage galloped wildly again in the rain and fog.

  Yang Guofeng stood there for a long time, watching the carriage disappear quickly into the rainy night...

  ……

  "Miss, how did you get up?" Qing An pushed open the door and immediately became anxious when she saw the slender figure sitting on the bed, preparing to get down.

  "Qing Xiang, I've been lying down for three days already, my bones are aching from lying down too long, it's time to get up and take a walk. Knowing that this little girl is very responsible and principled, Jiu Siao'er tried her best to make the situation sound more pitiful."

  "But your illness hasn't fully recovered yet."

  "It's almost the same, no more fever, and my appetite is back. I just have a slight cough, but it's not a big deal." Jiujie said as she bent down to pick up her shoes.

  "Girl..." Qing Xing couldn't help but scold her in a low voice, and had no choice but to squat down to help her put on her shoes.

  After putting on her shoes, Qing An took her cloak and helped her out, but only allowed her to walk in the corridor.

  "Green apricot..." She wanted to go to the courtyard to take a look at the autumn scenery.

  "Miss, the old lady has repeatedly warned and exhorted, do you want to make me suffer punishment?" Qing Xiang naturally knew her intention and immediately said with a difficult expression.

  She pouted and stopped asking for more.

  No choice, this is the result of being overly cared for by others.

  Ever since she made a name for herself in the palace and received those rewards, Lady Li really treasured them. The old man's illness also seemed to improve instantly, but unfortunately, she fell ill, with a fever and cough, and was troubled for several days.

  During her illness, she naturally enjoyed meticulous care and attention. Mrs. Li not only sent Cuifeng over every evening to keep watch but also instructed Qing'an and Qing'tao to take good care of her at all times.

  She was used to the spirit of wild grass, and such care made her uncomfortable.

  "Miss, you sit here for a while, today's sunshine is good, I'll go dry the quilt." At this time, Qing Xiang said again.

  "Oh..." The ninth sister nodded and sat down, narrowing her eyes to gaze at the bright sunlight shining above.

  The weather is really unpredictable. It's so good now, but who would have known that three days ago it rained heavily, and she got sick because of getting caught in the rain.

  Thinking of getting rained on, she suddenly remembered Yang Guofeng. That man was probably drenched that day too. Later, when the carriage driver sent her back on the way home, the rain got even heavier...

  " Ninth sister, you're done, let's go take a look at sixth sister with us!" Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a crisp voice sounded from behind.

  She turned around and saw only Tenth Sister and Little Eleven standing outside the corridor...

  ……
