"The princess likes orchids the most. When she was in good health, she planted orchids of various varieties in the yard. Later, after the princess became ill, we rough people didn't know how to take care of the garden, and the garden was full of orchids.
They all died one after another, but only this pot of orchids survived." Huang's mother explained from the sidelines.
Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of sadness, and there was also a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
Yun Qian glanced at the pot of orchids and said, "Molan orchids are very rare and difficult to raise. I didn't expect that only this pot of so many orchids survived. It's a miracle."
Mother Huang's eyebrows jumped slightly, but she said very calmly: "The princess loved this potted flower very much before she became ill. The princess spent a lot of money to get this potted flower."
Yun Qian did not comment, looked at Princess Chu again, and then walked out. Huang's mother sent Yun Qian away.
Yun Qian walked to the door and said with a smile: "Mother Huang, please stay. It's important to take care of the princess."
Mother Huang said softly: "The Crown Princess is really filial, and the Crown Prince has good taste."
After she said that, she returned to the room.
After Yun Qian walked out, he saw Chu Yuanzhou sitting on a stone table in the yard in a daze. Opposite him was a swing, and a dragonfly was resting on it.
He didn't turn around when he heard the footsteps, but said calmly: "I grew up in this room when I was a child. My mother asked her servants to set up this swing for me. I was only five years old that year."
Yun Qian's eyes deepened slightly as she asked, "How did my mother get sick?"
"I am angry with my father." Chu Yuanzhou answered briefly, but did not give any other details.
Yun Qian was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood why Chu Yuanzhou was so tit-for-tat with King Chu, and King Chu was so tolerant of Chu Yuanzhou, which may be mixed with King Chu's guilt and Chu Yuanzhou's anger.
Yun Qian asked again: "Is Mama Huang the only one who takes care of my mother on weekdays?"
"After my mother fell ill, the maids around her also dispersed, leaving only Mother Huang who was willing to continue to take care of her. I was afraid that Mother Huang could not take care of her alone, so I brought two more maids over to help. After careful calculation,
Now there are only three people taking care of my mother." Chu Yuanzhou replied: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking casually." Yun Qian replied.
Chu Yuanzhou gently took her hand and said no more.
His movement startled the dragonfly that was parked on the swing. In the blink of an eye, the dragonfly had flown far away.
Yun Qian could not help but hold her hand and remained silent.
The world became quiet again, the sky was clear blue, the flowing clouds rolled lightly, the breeze blew through the treetops, and the only sound left was the rustling of leaves.
Chu Yuan, the steward of the palace, came over and said, "Your Majesty, someone is looking for you."
Chu Yuanzhou frowned and said, "Who?"
"Miss Su." Chu Yuan said cautiously.
Everyone in the Prince Chu's palace knew about Su Rushi's thoughts. The King of Chu had always been very satisfied with Su Rushi. However, Chu Yuanzhou had not been in the capital these years, so everyone knew about this matter, but it was not
No one said anything.
Chu Yuanzhou was in a bad mood. He turned to look at Yun Qian and said, "No!"
"See you!" Yun Qian said when he looked over, and the two of them spoke almost at the same time.
Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing who to listen to. Chu Yuanzhou looked at Yun Qian and said, "What are you doing seeing her?"
His eyebrows were raised slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
