No matter how noble his birth was, Zhu Xi was still a sick man, coughing and wheezing all day long. Who was born a good-looking lady from a famous family, who would want to marry a medicine pot?
Princess Qin is so picky, it’s not easy to choose someone who is good in everything!
Wu murmured secretly in her heart, but she followed Princess Qin's words and said, "My mother-in-law is right. My second brother is still young anyway, so we just need to take our time to get to know each other."
Maybe, after a while, Zhu Xi won't be able to hold on anymore. When the time comes, he can directly organize the funeral, so there is no need to harm other girls.
Wu, the eldest sister-in-law, thought about such harsh words in her heart and could never say them out loud.
Princess Qin, on the other hand, calmed down after getting angry. Thinking about Zhu Han, she couldn't help but sigh: "Han'er was born with a congenital deficiency and suffered from coughing and asthma."
"Now that Xuan'er is getting older day by day, the cough and asthma symptoms are not only not getting better, but are getting worse."
"Those quack doctors in the Imperial Hospital cannot cure Xiu'er's illness. The eminent monk at Puji Temple said that Xiu'er will marry a wife before he turns eighteen. If something happy happens, he may be able to get better."
Zhu Xi is now sixteen this year.
There is still more than a year to go before he can find a wife for his son.
All said and done, it’s just to celebrate!
Wu responded in a low voice and said no more.
Princess Qin cheered up, stood up and said, "I'm going to see Han'er."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law is also going with her mother-in-law."
Princess Qin was quite satisfied with Wu's attentiveness and lowered her voice: "You have been busy for a long time, so take a break! I will go alone."
Sister-in-law and uncle should always keep some distance.
Even if Zhu Xi was so ill that he could only breathe, Mrs. Wu, as her sister-in-law, would not be able to visit her from time to time.
Wu's soft voice should be.
After Princess Qin left, Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief, with a trace of tiredness on her face.
Princess Qin was going to hold a banquet, and all the trivial matters fell on her as her daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, the flower-viewing banquet didn't stop at all today... Miss Feng San's face flashed through Wu's mind, and she felt a little regretful.
This Miss Feng San is soft and beautiful, with a good background. She has already caught the eye of Princess Qin.
However, Miss Feng San cried bitterly and had a quarrel with Princess Ninghui, and the flower viewing feast was turned into a pot of porridge. Princess Qin was upset, mostly because of Miss Feng San.
Princess Qin walked slowly while adjusting her mood.
When she stepped into the courtyard gate, Princess Qin had regained her composure. When she entered Zhu Han's house, Princess Qin had a smile on her lips and her face was like the spring breeze.
The chamberlain Liu Gui is serving his master to drink medicine.
The room was filled with a bitter medicinal smell, mixed with stuffiness, which was really not pleasant.
Princess Qin, who was meticulous in everything, did not dislike her at all. She sat down by the bed with a smile, took the medicine bowl, and fed her son the medicine. When Zhu Han saw his mother, his sallow face showed a trace of joy: "Mother!"
Princess Qin responded with a smile and carefully fed her son the medicine.
After drinking, he wiped the corners of Zhu Han's mouth with a handkerchief.
Zhu Xi was very accustomed to Princess Qin's meticulous care, so he rested his head on Princess Qin's arm. A sixteen-year-old boy, he still relied on his mother like a six- or seven-year-old child.
Princess Qin felt pity and sadness. She reached out and touched Zhu Xi's skinny cheek and said softly: "Why are you so happy today?"
Zhu Yan raised his head, and a blush appeared on his face: "Mother, is there a Miss Feng San at the flower viewing banquet today?"
Princess Qin: "..."
Princess Qin's smile suddenly froze.
She did not answer Zhu Xi's words, and her eyes quickly glanced at Liu Gui's face.
Liu Gui felt a shiver in his heart and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, Princess, your Highness went out for a leisurely stroll in the courtyard today and happened to meet three girls on the edge of the garden."
"There was a soft and beautiful girl wearing a primrose-colored short undershirt and a willow-green long skirt. She called herself Feng and was the third eldest child in her family."
Princess Qin's eyes were almost filled with smoke, and she shouted angrily: "The little prince is weak and cannot be exposed to the wind and cold. You, a dog slave, actually encouraged him to leave the courtyard."
"Come here, drag Liu Gui down and give him thirty blows..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xi grabbed his sleeve and pulled it gently: "Mom, don't blame Liu Gui, it's me who wants to go out for a walk."
Princess Qin lowered her head, as if her face had suddenly changed, and her voice could not be more gentle: "Xuan'er, didn't I tell you before? The spring days are suddenly warm and then cold, so please bear with it. In another month, the weather will be completely different.
When it gets hot, mother will take you to the garden."
Princess Qin was also worried about her sickly son.
Zhu Han's cough and asthma syndrome can't be exposed to cold, and it occurs every winter.
After raising them all winter, they must continue to be carefully raised in spring. Until the weather is completely warm, they can only occasionally walk around and see the sun.
It was Liu Gui, a bitch, who relied on his master's trust to encourage him to leave the yard.
Otherwise, Zhu Xi would not have met Feng Shaojun by chance!
That Feng Shaojun was so graceful and beautiful that Zhu Xi was attracted to him at first sight.
Thinking of this, Princess Qin was secretly angry.
Liu Gui noticed the cold gaze cast by Princess Qin, and his heart felt cold.
In fact, I really can't blame Liu Gui today.
Zhu Xi had been bored in the house for half a year. He was very restless and had to go out of the yard. As a slave, he could only serve his master, so how could he dare to stop him?
"It was my fault." Zhu Xi lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I will definitely listen to my mother from now on. Mother, please stop hitting Liu Gui."
Princess Qin stretched out her hand and gently stroked Zhu Xi's head: "Xiao'er is good. Okay, I won't fight you if you say you won't."
That tone was like coaxing a child of several years old.
Only then did Zhu Yan laugh happily.
Liu Gui kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
Princess Qin glared at Liu Gui impatiently: "Please step back first."
After Liu Gui exited, Princess Qin said softly to Zhu Han: "Han'er, I held a flower viewing banquet because I wanted to choose a wife you like."
"The Miss Feng San you met today has no father or mother. She is a lucky person at first glance. She has been living outside the capital and does not understand the rules and etiquette of the capital."
"She was crying at the flower viewing banquet today and had a quarrel with your Aunt Wenhui. The entire flower viewing banquet was disrupted."
"How can such a girl be worthy of you?"
"You can wait with peace of mind, I will choose a better and more beautiful one for you."
The sparkle in Zhu Yan's eyes suddenly went out.
The hands that were tightly grasping the sleeves slowly loosened their grip.
He has been sick and weak since he was a child. He listens to his mother in everything and has never contradicted her.
Princess Qin couldn't bear it when she saw Zhu Xi lost in every possible way. Fortunately, she only saw him once, so she had to cut off this sign immediately so as not to worry about it in her heart.
Princess Qin comforted her son in every possible way.
Zhu Xi soon got tired, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Princess Qin stayed for a long time before getting up and leaving.
After Princess Qin left, Zhu Xi quietly opened his eyes and was in a daze. Then he whispered: "Miss Feng San is very, very good."
