"I am a little tired. The ointment will be delivered later and I will give it to the servants." The eldest princess then covered her mouth and yawned.
Xu Mingyi could only stand up and salute.
However, when he was about to exit, he raised his head and looked at the eldest princess and said: "Jiao Jiao once told me that even if she doesn't get married in this life, she won't worry about the future at all. It's precisely because you, Your Highness, are with her.
Protect her."
Upon hearing these words, Princess Jingrong was a little startled.
She could feel the determination of the little girl in front of her to help her.
But if this matter really comes to that point, no one can help her.
As for Jiao Jiao...
The eldest princess smiled complicatedly.
Why didn't she want to protect this girl all the time? This was the reason why she had been so cautious all these years.
But is the emperor really so worried about her?
"It's rare for Jiao Jiao to have better judgment. He's also very lucky to have made a good friend like Miss Xu."
The faces that girl chose didn't look very presentable to her.
"This girl can't hold so many things in her mind, so no matter what happens in the future, I ask Miss Xu not to talk to her about it today."
Hearing this explanation, Xu Mingyi didn't know what to feel in her heart.
But he could only nod in agreement.
"This junior heard from A Kui that there is a medicine that can undo the properties of the medicine taken by the eldest princess and can keep people awake. After this junior returns home, someone will send this medicine. Whether to use it or not is up to your highness.
That’s it.”
Xu Mingyi said the last word, and Fu Shen retreated.
The cold wind outside blew against my face, making me shiver uncontrollably.
She never wanted to be a savior, nor was she so self-righteous that she thought she could dictate the lives of others as she pleased.
From beginning to end, her original intention was just to use her rebirth as a prophet to help Jiao Jiao retain her mother, the most important person in the world to Jiao Jiao.
But as the situation deepened, she gradually realized that the matter was beyond her control.
And after explaining the matter, the eldest princess still refused her to intervene and was unwilling to discuss the matter with her in depth, which destined her to be unable to impose too much unilaterally.
She knew that everyone had their own considerations, and she had no way of knowing the eldest princess's concerns, so she couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong, whether it was smart or not -
But no matter what, I still hope that what she said today can be of some use.
She thought that no mother would be willing to abandon her child.
If the inner disputes in this matter are indeed beyond her control, then I hope the eldest princess can come up with a solution in time after recognizing the reality.
Xu Mingyi returned to Princess Yufeng's residence with a heavy heart.
"Why are you back? I've already made three cups of this egg soup. If you don't come back, all the maids in this courtyard will be fed by the craftsmanship of this princess."
Hearing his friend's complaints, Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "You can do it just by heating it on the stove. Why do you have to do it again?"
"Can the taste be the same? I have a hard time cooking, but I don't want the taste to have any flaws."
Princess Yufeng took the person to sit down, ordered the maid to bring the things over quickly, and urged Xu Mingyi to "try it quickly."
Xu Mingyi took a spoonful and said, "It's too sweet..."
"You are the only one who has many things to do." Princess Yufeng snorted.
But when Xu Mingyi said it was too sweet, she still put spoonfuls of soup into her mouth and drank the whole cup of soup. Princess Yufeng was in a good mood.
"Jiaojiao, thank you, it's much warmer." Xu Mingyi said with a smile.
In the last life, Jiao Jiao did a lot for her secretly, but she never got to see Jiao Jiao again, nor did she have the chance to say thank you in person.
But this time, she may not be able to help Jiao Jiao.
"It's just a bowl of soup. Is it worthy of your thanks?" Princess Yufeng glanced at her and said in a proud tone: "If you really like it, I'll make it for you next time you come back."
Speaking of which, Xu Zhaozhao is a bit too lucky. No one in the world is so lucky.
However, she is not so lucky to be friends with Xu Zhaozhao.
"By the way, did you reply to Wu Haokan last time?" Princess Yufeng became concerned about her friend's life events again.
"I'm back now."
"So fast?" Princess Yufeng's eyes widened, "What did you reply to?"
Why didn't this inexperienced person first find her as a staff officer? After all, she was an expert in this field. If she, a highly qualified military advisor, could not be used, would Xu Zhaozhao still be able to do it?
"It's just a normal reply." Xu Mingyi said, feeling a little weak for no reason.
After talking nonsense for two whole pages, this reply... seems not so unusual?
Well, even now that I think about it, if she sent a letter like this, it would be difficult for Wu Chao not to reply again.
Speaking of which, it has been about ten days since the letter was sent. Wu Chao should have received it soon, right?
…
The sky in the capital was gloomy, and Ningyang City, two thousand miles away, was also shrouded in rain.
In the drizzle, a young man dismounted from his horse in front of the gate of Dingnan Palace and threw the reins to Sui Cong behind him.
The doorman hurriedly held up an umbrella to greet him.
"Why didn't Shisun take an umbrella and change to a carriage... Even if he was in a hurry to do something, he couldn't brave the rain..."
"It doesn't matter."
The young man strode up the stone steps, with fine drops of water hanging on his handsome face, making his eyebrows look like ink and his skin as white as jade, but it also added a bit of coldness to his already cold eyes.
The nagging disciple didn't dare to say anything more once he saw those eyes.
The servant trotted behind the young man, holding an umbrella beside him.
Back in the courtyard, Wu Chao raised his hand to take off his wet crow-green cloak and handed it to the boy A Yuan beside him.
At this time, a figure walked out of the study.
"Second brother, you are finally back."
The seven or eight-year-old boy is chubby and has just had one of his front teeth replaced. His speech seems to be leaking.
"Why are you here?" Wu Chao glanced at his brother and went inside to change clothes.
"I came to play chess with you." Wu Ran raised his foot and was about to follow.
Wu Chao wanted to look at the sky.
Which game of chess is being played here? If you win too quickly, the opponent will cry. It's obviously just asking him to coax the child to play.
And still coaxing boys——
Wu Chao walked behind the screen, took the clean robe from A Yuan, and said, "Go and wait outside."
Wu Ran said "Oh", stuck out his tongue and walked out.
They are all boys, so what if he sees them just by changing clothes? The second uncle is indeed right, the most precious thing in the world is his second brother, let alone touching it, even taking a second look.
It doesn’t work.
If he marries his sister-in-law in the future, he can't do the same thing, right?
Wu Chao quickly changed his clothes and walked out.
Wu Ran had already asked someone to set up the chessboard.
However, at this time, Sui Jiang came in from outside and saluted.
