Princess Wei was dressed in plain white today. The quilted coat made of satin thickly wrapped her delicate body. The satin was embroidered with cloud patterns. Other than that, there was no other color decoration.
She wore a high bun with a white jade hairpin. Because she was going out for a visit, she added a hairpin. A string of coral necklaces as bright as red clouds hung around her neck, hanging on her plain white clothes.
It adds a bit of brightness to the pale complexion.
She only had one maid with her, so she was not very outstanding, but she was very well-behaved, and you could tell at a glance that she was well-educated.
Yuan Qingling stood up to greet her. Princess Wei looked at her with a decent smile on her face, "Isn't the second sister-in-law here yet?"
Yuan Qingling said regretfully: "She just sent a letter saying that she is feeling unwell and will not come today."
Princess Wei said "Oh" and sat down, "Maybe she caught a cold. Yesterday she told her that the stove in her room was under-lit, but she still dared to say that it wasn't cold."
Yuan Qingling looked at her and saw that her face was even worse than yesterday, so she asked: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Princess Wei stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead. "I had a bad headache. I almost didn't sleep all night. At dawn, I just squinted for a while."
Yuan Qingling saw that her raised hand seemed to have a new injury, so she asked, "Did something happen last night?"
Princess Wei paused her hands and forced a smile, "Why do you ask this? Nothing happened."
Yuan Qingling looked at her wrist, "Your hand... is hurt again."
Princess Wei pulled her sleeves and sighed softly, "I have become increasingly unable to control myself recently. I know that living is good, but I have so many meaningless thoughts. I have already asked the maids to stare at me. I didn't think about it.
Something almost happened."
Yuan Qingling said softly: "I asked you yesterday, apart from the ones I asked, are there any other symptoms?"
Princess Wei raised her eyes and looked at her, "If I say it, I'm afraid you will laugh at me."
Yuan Qingling shook her head, "No, if you can trust me, just tell me."
Princess Wei thought for a while, then smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep well."
Yuan Qingling doesn't force her. If she wants to say something, she must say it voluntarily or when she wants to talk. Forcing her to ask questions will be counterproductive and will only do harm to her condition, not good.
After all, she was not very familiar with Princess Wei, so it was right for her to choose to have reservations about someone who was still a stranger.
Yuan Qingling got her some medicine and said: "These are helpful for sleeping. Take one pill about half an hour before going to bed. These medicines will have some side effects. For example, you will feel sleepy when you get up tomorrow.
It’s tiring, but at least it’ll give you a good night’s sleep.”
Princess Wei obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't go against Yuan Qingling's good intentions and asked the maid to take it over to thank her.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Remember to take it, this medicine is effective. I know you may not believe me, but there is no harm in trying it. If a person can't sleep all the time, problems will occur in various body functions."
She smiled and said: "Since I couldn't sleep, I tried many home remedies, but they never worked. Over time, I stopped believing in medicine. I had some wine at night to relax myself, and I could sleep for a while. However, Princess Chu said this, I will
I will take the medicine tonight. If I can fall asleep, I will come back tomorrow. Thank you very much."
She kept being so polite, which made Yuan Qingling unable to talk any more. Presumably because Princess Sun was not present, Princess Wei had no topic to talk about. She chatted a few random words, and finally couldn't sit down anymore. Princess Wei stood up and left.
The next day, Princess Wei did not come.
I don’t know if it’s because the medicine didn’t work or because she didn’t take it.
But I heard Princess Ji say that Chu Mingcui was going to have a funeral today.
