She is obviously a very well-behaved and sensible child, but her sister has never liked her.
Miss Jun lowered her eyes and her throat was slightly astringent.
Princess Jiuli did not continue talking.
"In fact, I am also a headache for my family." Miss Jun didn't want the topic to end here, so she took the initiative and said, "The princess's sister...".
Before he finished speaking, there were footsteps behind him and Lu Yunqi's voice sounded at the same time.
"Princess, how is King Huai?" he said.
Miss Jun lowered her eyes.
Princess Jiuli put down her needlework and looked at him and smiled.
"Much better," she said.
Lu Yunqi nodded.
"Then please invite the princess home," he said.
go home?
What home should she go back to? This is her home.
Miss Jun's hands hanging by her sides, covered by her sleeves, were slightly clenched.
"The Queen Mother will send someone to take care of Your Highness," Lu Yunqi said.
Princess Jiuli stood up.
She didn't feel dissatisfied at all, nor did she ask to stay. She turned around and stroked King Huai's forehead.
"Yes." She said, "Then I will go back."
Lu Yunqi stepped aside.
elder sister……
Miss Jun curtsied to Princess Jiuli.
She couldn't be dissatisfied, let alone stay.
Princess Jiuli didn't look at her again, and she didn't even say "Please take care of King Huai."
She has no qualifications and no way to ask for such things as taking good care of King Huai. Whether it is good or bad is not something she can decide.
Miss Jun watched Princess Jiuli walk out of the palace and left surrounded by a group of palace ladies.
Lu Yunqi blocked her sight, stepped closer and stood in front of her, looking down at her coldly.
"My name is Jiuling." He repeated.
Miss Jun looked at him and smiled.
"My name is Jiuling." She said.
Lu Yunqi looked dull.
"Jun Zhenzhen, why are you called Jiuling?" he said.
Although he said a question, his tone was a statement. He didn't need an answer, he already had an answer.
Even though I have been careful to cover up these days, in the eyes of Lu Yunqi, a suspicious person, I must be very suspicious.
Especially when Princess Jiuli asked such a question today, and she answered with this name.
In Lu Yunqi's eyes, this was a blatant ulterior motive, so he immediately drove away Princess Jiuli without hesitation.
Miss Jun looked calm.
"This is my grandfather's last wish," she said. "I want to inherit the ancestral legacy and carry forward Jiulingtang."
Lu Yunqi looked at her.
"You will get your wish," he said.
This mellow voice sounds pleasant, but paired with this face that is as dull as white porcelain and has no emotion at all, it just makes people feel creepy.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Miss Jun stood in the quiet bedroom and slowly exhaled.
It wasn't that Lu Yunqi was really scary in front of Princess Jiuling. She didn't even know if he would draw a knife and hack her to death next moment.
If he really wanted to, he would do it without hesitation.
Miss Jun was convinced of this, just like last time outside Jiulingtang, he really wanted to kill herself.
This is a terrifying person whom she is completely unfamiliar with and completely unable to control.
……………………………………………..
"Is my sister gone?"
King Huai woke up and couldn't see Princess Jiuli. He looked a little panicked, but he didn't cry, but just asked in a trembling voice.
The two female officials who were ordered to come from the palace responded with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness," they said, "Your Highness the Princess is married and has her own home to take care of. Your Highness has the Emperor and the Queen Mother here."
There were tears in King Huai's eyes.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty," he said.
Just like Princess Jiuli, he accepts any arrangement and does not cry or act like a real child.
The smiles on the faces of the female officers were more loving.
"Your Highness is so sensible."
"Your Highness, please get well soon and go pay your respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"Look, this is Your Highness's favorite pastry brought by the Queen Mother."
They said with smiles and pointed to the snacks on the table.
"Would you like to have a taste, Your Highness?"
King Huai sat upright. Although there were still tears in his eyes, his expression was somewhat upright, just like another Princess Jiuli.
"Okay." He said, never saying no to an arrangement.
Miss Jun took a step forward.
"Madam, Your Highness is still taking medicine, so please don't use these sweets for the time being," she said.
The two female officers looked at her and said, "Oh!"
"In this case, just listen to the doctor." They laughed and motioned to the palace maid to take away the snacks. "Your Highness should get well soon, and then you can eat whatever you want."
King Huai nodded obediently and lay down on the bed, quietly.
Like a restrained child visiting someone else's house.
"Your Highness, you can't just lie down all the time." Miss Jun stepped forward and said, "You have to get up and walk around more so that you can have more strength."
Only then did King Huai look at her.
"Is this so?" said the two female officials, looking at King Huai extending his hand to support him, "Then just listen to the doctor."
King Huai nodded and stood up quietly. The maids hurriedly stepped forward to dress him and put on his shoes, watching King Huai walking slowly in the room.
Miss Jun saw that his steps were much more steady than before, and she looked outside the palace.
"Your Highness, it's a nice day today. Let's go for a walk," she said.
Go outside?
The female officials and maids all looked at Miss Jun.
Aren't you afraid of the cold?
"Your Highness has been in the house for too long. It's time to go get some grounding." Miss Jun said.
Is that so? Does what she said make sense?
The two female officials looked at each other, which must make sense. After all, she was the one who cured King Huai.
The two female officials nodded, and the maids got busy, dressing King Huai in thick clothes, a cloak and a hat.
"You don't have to walk. Let's get used to it by sitting in a sedan chair first," Miss Jun said.
The palace maids hurriedly asked the young eunuchs to carry the carriage, but King Huai allowed them to arrange it without saying a word. He was soon arranged to sit on the carriage and was carried out of the palace by a group of people surrounded by the female officials and palace ladies.
"Miss Jun, where should we go for a walk?" the female officer asked.
After asking, I felt that this question was a bit strange. Miss Jun was a foreign doctor and was not familiar with Prince Huai's Mansion. How could she know where to go?
"Should we go further or walk closer?" the female officer added.
Miss Jun looked up and looked around, as if she was looking for something.
"Is there a garden?" she said. "A place with more bare land and lots of trees would be good."
The female officer said oh.
"Of course." She smiled and told the eunuchs carrying the sedan, "Then go to Ningcui Garden, which is close to here and has many ancient trees."
The eunuchs responded with their shoulder carriages and stepped forward.
"Miss Jun, please follow me." The female officer looked at Miss Jun who was standing aside, "Your Highness is the best after all. Everyone can feel at ease with you by my side."
Miss Jun responded, picked up the medicine box and followed slowly at the end of the team.
Ningcui Garden is not the largest garden in Prince Huai's Mansion, nor is it the closest to Prince Huai's palace. To be precise, it is the closest to Princess Jiuling's original palace.
There are not many flowers and plants here, but mostly towering ancient trees. Miss Jun saw the thickest ancient tree from a distance, and there was a swing frame under the tree.
The year she first moved into Prince Huai's Mansion, she often sat on the swing and swayed slowly. The past about her master and herself was buried beside the tree.
Lu Yunqi has become suspicious. His sister has been driven away, and he can be driven away at any time, so he must take out the buried master's notes as soon as possible. (To be continued)
