…
Shen Mansion.
Shen Youchu's eyes were red as she watched the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works replace the windows in her yard with glazed windows according to her design.
The light suddenly became much brighter.
But her face still seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, and she couldn't lift her spirits at all.
"well!"
Shen Youchu let out a long sigh.
Standing at the window, I stuffed my mouth with peanuts and plum blossoms, and saw pink or red peach blossoms all over the window. Through the patterns on the glazed window, they swayed on the young lady’s face. The young lady saw her favorite peach blossoms fluttering, and she was still awestruck. I don't understand why he looks like he's looking at things and thinking about people.
"Miss, are you thinking about Mr. Ning again?"
Shen Youchu didn't answer.
After a long time, until the craftsmen left lightly and went to the next yard, she sighed again.
"well!"
Mei Xiang didn't even dare to eat peanuts this time. She hurriedly sat next to Shen Youchu and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry, there are rumors outside that Princess Xian is personally watching over Mr. Ning's recovery. If If anything unexpected happens to Mr. Ning, Princess Xian will definitely inform you as soon as possible."
Mei Xiang's original intention was to comfort Shen Youchu.
But Ju Xiang next to her heard this and saw that the young lady looked even more depressed, so she thought it would be better for Mei Xiang to shut up and eat peanuts.
Princess Xian and Mr. Ning have similar temperaments. They both like to report good news but not bad news.
In the past three days, although people were sent to tell Mr. Ning how he was injured every day, they always had nice things to say.
For example, Mr. Ning ate an extra bowl of rice, slept for two more hours, and felt better than before.
But my young lady personally watched Mr. Ning being rescued from a collapsed heavy object covered in blood. With such a serious injury, there was only one sign of improvement.
Can I move freely?
The closer Princess Xian stays, the more worrying she becomes.
As for the rumors circulating outside, saying that Mr. Ning wanted to be Princess Xian's princess, it was Your Majesty's tacit approval, so the young lady probably didn't take it to heart.
"Miss, Princess Xian sleeps on Mr. Ning's outer couch. Even if something unexpected happens, with Princess Xian here and two doctors from the Imperial Hospital taking turns on duty, there will definitely be no problem."
"I know. I tell him three fortunes in the morning, noon and evening every day. I also study his prescription before going to bed at night to know that his injury is getting better."
What?
This time, Juxiang couldn't understand the young lady's thoughts.
The young lady was actually not worried about Mr. Ning's injury. The young lady was smiling so brightly that she couldn't fall asleep after waking up from the rooster's crow. What was the reason for her insomnia in the middle of the night?
Is it really because of the rumors outside?
"Juxiang, what do you think my mother and father will do if they misunderstand Mr. Ning as a frivolous person because of the rumors outside?"
"..."
Juxiang felt that the master and his wife could not tell who Mr. Ning was.
Although rumors are as fierce as tigers, the three of them are worth their weight in gold.
But the master and his wife should know that Mr. Ning's recovery from his injuries is the most important thing at this time.
If Princess Xian hadn't been guarding it personally, I'm afraid those people from the Western Regions would have broken into Princess Xian's mansion and made trouble that day.
Shen Youchu also understood these principles, but she still couldn't control her worries.
"Juxiang, even if mother and father believe in Mr. Ning, the old emperor always seems to want to tie Jingxian and Mr. Ning together, and you haven't found out the source of the rumors I asked you to find out. In this capital, Among them, if there is one source of information that the Shen family has not been able to find, there is only one source."
That is the palace that His Majesty has already turned into an iron barrel.
If the rumor spread from the palace, it would naturally be impossible to investigate.
But today, His Majesty would not use such despicable means to force the young lady to choose between Princess Xian and Young Master Ning.
"Miss, are you worried that Princess Xian will be taken advantage of without knowing it?"
"Yes, Mr. Ning is the person I like, and Jingxian is my best friend. Can I not be clear about whether the two of them are innocent? I'm afraid of those who deliberately stir up trouble."
Shen Youchu thought that if the old emperor really wanted to interfere with her and ruin her marriage, she became angry.
no.
Even though she has a reputation of being jealous, she still has to remind Jingxian to pay attention to the distance between her and Mr. Ning.
"Meixiang, get a pen and paper quickly. I want to write a letter to Jingxian."
Miss Mei Xiang finally cheered up. Even though she looked like she was about to eat someone, at least it was not the miss who suffered, but the person being eaten.
She quickly threw the peanuts into her mouth, took some paper and pens and laid them out on the table.
Seeing the peach blossoms falling on the white paper through the glass window, Shen Youchu felt much brighter.
Only then did I write the four words "Jingxian Qinqi".
The nursing home announcement sounded outside.
"Miss, someone is coming from Princess Xian's mansion."
ah?
Didn't someone send someone to deliver the news today? Why did it come again less than an hour later?
It can't be Mr. Ning, right?
"Please come in quickly."
Shen Youchu put on her coat and didn't even put on her shoes. She covered herself with a long skirt and hurried to the door.
Seeing that the person coming was Jiang Shu, she knew that there must be something important to convey and hurriedly left the nursing home.
"Miss Shen, this is a letter from the princess. Keep it."
Jiang Shu handed the letter into Shen Youchu's hand and stood outside the door with his hands down.
When Shen Youchu saw this, he knew that he was waiting for a reply, so he quickly went back to his room and opened the envelope.
When he saw the content inside, he covered his mouth and smiled: "Juxiang, look, Jingxian and I have a good understanding."
The letter also contained recent rumors and explained the reality of the situation.
What makes Shen Youchu happiest is not the facts described by Zhou Jingxian, but the current situation of Mr. Ning that he wrote about in the end.
"Mr. Ning can already sit up on his own and can walk two steps on the ground. Jingxian said that he can drink another medicinal soup and go to see Mr. Ning."
Very good!
Mr. Ning is indeed a lucky person with his own celestial phenomena.
Shen Youchu took this letter and read it from beginning to end several times as if he had found a treasure.
Until every sentence was understood by heart, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Shu still waiting for a reply outside, and he immediately wrote a reply with the pen and paper he just had.
Now that Mr. Ning is well, Jingxian will probably move to another room.
She knew that Jingxian didn't care about men and women because of her childhood experiences, so she didn't need to remind her.
Just remind Mr. Ning to take good care of his injuries and not to be too anxious.
"I know Mr. Ning must really want to see me, but he can be patient for a while."
Shen Youchu smiled like an idiot.
It looked like the peanuts in Mei Xiang's mouth no longer tasted good.
Ju Xiang reminded her young lady from the side: "Miss, you have to be more reserved. Don't let the master and madam think that you are possessed. Unknowingly, they may think that Mr. Ning has given you ecstasy."
The most taboo thing for famous families is to be emotional.
Especially the young lady who is held in the palm of the master and his wife, once it shows that she is controlled by Mr. Ning, the master and his wife will worry that the young lady will be constrained by this.
"I understand. I will write a letter to Mr. Ning right now, asking him not to be idle, to study more of the notes left by Master, and to be a good, polite and enterprising girl. Is that okay?"
Shen Youchu made a face, but still smiled as brightly as a spring flower.
As long as you know that Mr. Ning's injury is really getting better, it doesn't matter if he is scolded by his mother and father.
As for being reserved... there is an old saying that says, a man chases a woman across a mountain, and a woman chases a man across a veil.
What's wrong with her being the one taking the initiative?
