At that time, she still felt strange, because she had always been a strong woman. It was the first time that someone pampered and cared for her like that. She felt it was very strange. She didn't want him to be like that, but he insisted.
He said, "You are the princess of Da Qin, but to me, you are my own princess. I want to hide you in my arms, pamper you well, and prevent you from suffering any grievances..."
Thinking of this, her eyes became moist and there was a lump in her throat.
The eldest grandson's consort was still so generous and gentle. He smiled and patted her back gently, and said jokingly: "My daughter is already so old, but she still looks like a child."
After saying that, he put the tea cup on the incense table next to him, then leaned over and picked her up, "Don't stay on this couch. I'll take you to the Nuang Pavilion to rest for a while."
The warm pavilion is covered with soft mattresses, scented with precious ambergris, and the decoration is simple and noble, making people feel very peaceful when sleeping in it.
The eldest grandson's consort hugged her and fell on the bed. He leaned on the bed and let her lean into his arms. He gently touched her shoulders and said softly: "Get some sleep. She was tossing and turning during the night.
, I don’t know if I can sleep for a while longer.”
She didn't sleep at all all night. He thought she felt guilty for killing Shen Mingzhu. After all, he did not approve of her going to Beijing to report to the emperor.
But she persisted, and he didn't say anything.
The eldest princess hugged his lean waist and said in a dull voice: "Brother Yi, if...if I did something...that I can't undo and cannot forgive, will you, will you leave me?"
The eldest grandson's consort chuckled and stroked her hair lovingly, "Don't think nonsense, I will never leave you at any time. No matter what you have done, don't feel guilty. Since you have done it, there is nothing to regret."
.If you regret it, you are torturing yourself and me."
"But, but this matter is really unforgivable." The eldest princess's tears flowed out and fell on his chest.
It was scalding hot and turned cold in an instant.
The son-in-law's heart tightened, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his chest that was difficult to breathe. He closed his eyes, suppressed the pain, and said softly: "Stop talking nonsense, there is nothing unforgivable. Come to me.
Say, no matter what you do, even if you kill me, I will not blame you."
The eldest princess finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Her voice became louder and louder, and she couldn't help herself.
The eldest grandson's consort gently patted her back and coaxed her gently, allowing her to release all the accumulated negative emotions.
Then the eldest princess's crying became quieter and quieter, and then there was no sound anymore, and she finally fell asleep.
The eldest grandson's consort breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her and slept for a while. After thinking about it, he decided to get up.
He put the eldest princess on the brocade mattress and let her sleep in a more comfortable position, while he straightened his clothes, then got up and went to the ground.
He put down the bed tent in the Nuan Pavilion, took a deep look at the eldest princess's beautiful sleeping face, and then walked out.
The eldest grandson's consort came to the outside room, and the girls and daughters-in-law who were doing work all stood up and saluted.
The eldest grandson's consort nodded, waved his hand and said, "You are all exempt from the courtesy. You all should step aside. Fu Chun will stay."
The maids and ladies were a little suspicious, because the eldest son-in-law was very careful to avoid suspicion and would never talk to the princess's maids alone.
