The eldest princess asked a few more questions and learned that Chu Chengyao had no time to say anything else to Lin Jinyan other than reminding Xiang that something was wrong, so she changed the subject.
When the prince-in-law came in with the medicine bowl, he saw Lin Jinyan standing up to salute. His eyes lit up for a moment. He caught a glimpse of the mother-in-law next to the princess and called her indifferently.
Watching the eldest princess drink the medicine, the prince-in-law fearfully talked about yesterday's bloodshed:
"I originally went to the teahouse to drink tea after preparing for the sacrifice yesterday, but I didn't expect that a spy from Mobei actually assassinated my father. It was really thrilling."
The next day.
Yao Huining took the housekeeper and maid from the Taishi Mansion and handed a greeting message at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. After receiving permission, the group entered the Prince's Mansion and went to the main courtyard to collect the things that Yao Huining brought from the Taishi Mansion when he got married.
Although he forced himself to cut through the mess quickly and end it early, when he arrived at the courtyard where he had lived for many years, Yao Huining still didn't want to enter the house. He asked his maid to bring a chair and sit in the courtyard, watching everyone pack and pack boxes.
When the prince entered the courtyard, he saw Yao Huining wrapped in a large cloak, holding a hand stove and nestled in a chair.
The sitting posture is not as straight as before, more lazy, or less solemn. She was born white, and when the sun shone on her slightly pale face, it was as white as porcelain. His eyes narrowed slightly due to the light, looking gentle, well-behaved, weak and fragile.
The prince was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to a sunny day many years ago. He secretly ran to the Grand Master's residence to see her, and saw her dozing off in the corridor holding a book...
How nice she was at that time, she pretended to be well-behaved on the surface, but in private she was playful and playful, and she always did some unruly and naughty things. She was nothing like the women in the palace.
Since when did she become just like her mother...
It seems to have been since marriage...
The busy servants in the courtyard accidentally saw the prince, put down what they were holding, knelt down and saluted.
When Yao Huining heard the sound, his body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly stood up and saluted.
Prince Xu gave him a hand: "You are not in good health, so you don't have to be like this."
"Your Highness is the crown prince, so etiquette is inevitable."
The prince looked at the quiet woman with downcast eyes in front of him, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say. After a while, he said dryly:
"Whether you brought the things in this mansion from the Grand Master's Mansion or not, you can take them as long as you like them."
"Thank you, Your Highness, I didn't marry for these things in the first place, so naturally I wouldn't take a fancy to them. If my late grandmother hadn't found some of the objects for me, I wouldn't have bothered her. This trip.”
"Don't worry, you're not in good health, take your time to get better."
"I wasn't in a hurry at all. I was just afraid that His Highness would be anxious to make room, so I came here today. My grandfather originally only asked the butler to come, but I thought that the butler didn't know a lot of things. If he took it by mistake, he would have to bother him another day. Your Highness, it’s better to come together now and clear things up for once.”
The prince suddenly felt guilty and found an excuse to escape.
Before leaving the hospital, I heard a servant from the Prince's Mansion ask:
"Princess, this Kuai Nuan Jade is a birthday gift from His Highness. It is priceless and your name is engraved on it."
Yao Huining: "I am no longer the princess, you should call me Miss Yao. I don't want people anymore, why do I want things? Just put them back..."
Upon hearing this, the prince quickened his pace and left the courtyard before he felt a slight sense of guilt.
Yao Huining looked at the clothes disappearing at the courtyard door and murmured to himself:
"Whoever abandons me will not retain yesterday's day..." (End of Chapter)
