Chapter 267 She is really smart
As Song Yunchu approached, Jiang Rumin and others heard the noise and raised their heads.
"Your Highness is here? Yingchun, hurry up and go to Longjing before the rain."
Jiang Rumin asked Yingchun to make tea, and then asked Song Yunchu, "Your Highness, have you eaten yet?"
Song Yunchu said, "I had lunch in the palace, and on the way back I remembered that the medicine bags for bathing were almost gone, so I came to buy some more from you. Do you have any more?"
"There are still quite a few left. If Your Highness finds them useful, I will supply them to you every month from now on to ensure that there is a continuous supply."
"That's great." Song Yunchu took over the conversation with a smile, and glanced at the music score on the counter casually, "Mr. Qiyin's music score is actually here with Miss Jiang."
Although she and Jiang Rumin are friends, in Jiang Rumin's eyes, she is still a man after all, not a sister. Even if she is very curious about emotional issues, she cannot ask directly, otherwise it will seem abrupt.
Since I can't ask directly, I can only ask questions in a roundabout way to test Jiang Rumin's feelings.
Jiang Rumin also took a look at the music score after hearing this. "Your Highness, do you know this gentleman? He is an expert in music. He is proficient in all the instruments of pipa, zither and harp. There are only three of his music scores left in the world."
Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows, "I have indeed heard of this person. His music scores are rare."
Judging from Jiang Rumin's answer, it was obvious that Shangguan Qi had never talked to her about the origin of this music score.
It is not difficult to guess Shangguan Qi's thoughts. After all, everyone knows that Prince Ning and Miss Jiang had been engaged. When Shangguan Qi and Jiang Rumin were exchanging interests and hobbies, there was really no need to mention a third person, especially since this person was her ex-fiancé.
"No matter how rare it is, it was brought here by Prince Qi." Hu Siniang raised her head and said with a smile, "Prince Qi is quite thoughtful."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just learn your embroidery well." Jiang Rumin glanced at her in disapproval and scolded her, "You said you wanted to embroider lotus flowers, but look at your lotus leaves. They are not even as good as weeds."
"I was just telling the truth, why are you scolding me?" Hu Si Niang curled her lips, "I just thought that he was really good, so I was impressed."
Having been in contact with Jiang Rumin for such a long time, how could she not know that Jiang Rumin had always admired Song Yunchu.
But fortunately, Jiang Rumin is not a person who is too obsessed with feelings. Even if she can't get what she wants, she will not feel resentful, but will persuade herself to let it go slowly.
Not only did she have a good personality, but Jiang Rumin's talent also amazed her. This woman knew medicine, understood poetry and painting, and even played the piano beautifully.
But such a good girl had a bad love life. The first man she liked was Jun Tianyi, that hypocritical bastard. Fortunately, she saw through that bastard's true character. After that, her vision improved a lot and she fell in love with her future fiancé, Prince Ning. Although Prince Ning was talented, handsome and elegant, it was a pity that he had no feelings for her and rejected her decisively. She did not force love, but loss was always inevitable.
Hu Si Niang recalled that Jiang Rumin once told her that her wish was to find a devoted person to live with until old age, but this wish was difficult to achieve and she would not ask for it anymore.
As Jiang Rumin's friend, she doesn't want Jiang Rumin to actively like a man again. It would be better if there is an outstanding man pursuing her.
She even advised Jiang Rumin - if someone is willing to give you ten points of love, you should just give him five or six points in return. This way, you will never be hurt by love again.
The Prince of Qi seemed like someone who was easy to get along with, and Jiang Rumin obviously didn't reject him.
"Prince Qi and I can indeed communicate on calligraphy, painting and music, but there is nothing more."
Jiang Rumin spoke calmly, "The qin and flute performance on the lake yesterday was just a coincidence. We didn't know each other until we left the cabin. To be honest, during the performance, I did feel that it's hard to find a soulmate. It's hard to find a soulmate in this world, but he will eventually return to Beichen Country, and I will not leave Tianqi Country."
Jiang Rumin spoke very frankly. She considered everyone around her as her own family and did not think there was anything to be shy about.
"This land is familiar to me. All my relatives and friends are here. If I leave this place, I will not live a better life. I don't need to rely on others to take care of me now. No matter how good others are to me, it is not worth it for me to give up all that I have worked so hard for."
"Whether alive or dead, I am a person from Tianqi Country. I can make friends from foreign countries, but I cannot marry someone from a foreign country."
After Jiang Rumin finished speaking, silence fell all around.
Song Yunchu's eyes sparkled when she said she would not leave Tianqi Country.
That's great.
You know, it is so rare to make friends with a great doctor.
Of course, she was reluctant to let Jiang Rumin leave this place, but the decision was up to Jiang Rumin herself, and no one could help Jiang Rumin make this decision.
Now that she saw Jiang Rumin's statement, she felt relieved.
Jiang Rumin is talented and has an exploratory spirit in medicine. With her abilities, she may be able to cure Jun Liluo's heart disease in the future.
Not only that, she can also benefit more people of this dynasty.
As for her and Shangguan Qi, the two of them were destined to be together. With Jiang Rumin's current mentality, even if she had a good impression of Shangguan Qi, she would never give in to him.
Either Shangguan Qi gives up this relationship, or he agrees to stay in Tianqi Country. There is no third choice.
"It's my fault for not thinking so much." Hu Si Niang slapped her forehead, "Rumin, just treat what I just said as nonsense."
She only saw how good Shangguan Qi was to Jiang Rumin, which was not as good as Jiang Rumin's long-term thinking.
"I don't blame you. I know you mean well."
Jiang Rumin smiled at her and said, "Hurry up and throw away the embroidery in your hand. It's too messy to look at."
"Is this picture of mine unreadable?"
Zhong Nanyan showed Jiang Rumin her masterpiece and said, "I don't know why, but when I saw you embroidering the golden pheasant, I thought it was very simple. But when I did it myself, it looked like an earthworm."
Song Yunchu laughed out loud when he heard this, "Because you only learned it with your eyes, but not your hands."
"..." Zhong Nanyan was speechless for a moment, then threw her masterpiece on the table, "It's not fun at all, I don't want to play anymore."
Song Yunchu asked, "Why did you suddenly want to learn embroidery?"
"The end of the month is the Weaver Girl Festival." Hu Si Niang replied, "As your concubine, don't I have to embroider a purse for you? Not only do I have to embroider one for you, but also for my three sisters. It's really giving me a headache."
Song Yunchu then remembered that the custom of the Weaver Girl's Day was to give gifts to the loved one.
Women usually give their lovers purses they embroidered themselves on the same day, and men usually give women accessories such as scarves or hairpins.
As for embroidery, she doesn't know how to do it, and she is too lazy to learn such a delicate craft. Giving something as a gift is nothing more than giving one's own thoughts, as long as it is made by hand, it means the thought is there.
She suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, Your Highness, has there been no news about King Gouyi since he escaped that day?" Hu Si Niang recalled what happened to her eldest sister and wished she could skin Jun Tianyi alive.
"With someone to pick him up, he will escape smoothly. You don't have to worry. He hates me to the core and regards me as his lifelong enemy. Even if I am too lazy to look for him, he will come back to seek revenge on me sooner or later, so... we still have a chance to meet him."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, Jiang Rumin showed a trace of worry on his face, "If that's the case, once he comes back, he won't dare to show up. Then you will be in the light while he will be in the dark."
"You can say that. In fact, whether he is in the light or in the dark, I am not afraid. I just hope he won't make me wait too long."
The matter of the treasure map fragments has been made public, and the princess will probably receive the news soon, or has already received it.
After returning home, Song Yunchu asked Bai Zhu to buy some beautiful glass bottles and colored paper.
When she woke up from her nap, Bai Zhu had already cut the colored paper into long pieces as she instructed.
There were more than ten palm-sized bottles of various shapes on the table.
Song Yunchu picked out the cylindrical bottle that looked the best, then picked up the colored paper cut into long pieces on the table and folded it into a five-pointed star.
Purses are too common and troublesome items. The Star Bottle Dog Emperor has never seen one before and must find it new.
The key is that this thing is easy for her. She can fold five or six of them every day and fill the bottle in no time.
She is really smart.
…
As the sun sets, the sky is dotted with stars.
The elegant interior is filled with the aroma of food.
"Your Highness, the princess of Xiling Kingdom really cares about you. The food she prepared for you is all of your favorite flavors."
"So what if I care about her? She is not the one I love after all."
Jun Tianyi looked at the table full of delicacies and his eyes fell on the soup in the middle of the table.
This soup contains ginseng slices, and seems to be a medicinal food for nourishing the body.
Speaking of medicinal food...Minmin is the best at making medicinal food, no one can compare to her.
Thinking of this, he felt depressed.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. Under the current circumstances, if you want revenge, this princess is your greatest helper. She is from a powerful country, loved by the emperor and empress, and her brother is the crown prince. She can even enter and exit the military camp. Looking at all the countries, how many princesses can be as powerful as her? You once saved her life, and she admires you very much..."
"So what if she admires me? She said she can't help me with revenge. The only help she can give me is to provide me with fine clothes and delicious food. If I really accept such an arrangement, what dignity do I have in living?"
Jun Tianyi's face darkened, and his voice was cold, "The hatred between Song Yunchu and I must be resolved."
"I'm not asking you to give up your grudge, Your Majesty. Have you ever heard the saying that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge? If you can really kill the thief Song in the future, are you willing to endure the grievance for a while?"
After Du Zhong finished speaking, seeing that Jun Tianyi was not angry, he continued, "The princess wants you to stay by her side, you should agree to her first. She is unwilling to help you with revenge now, probably because her feelings for you are not deep enough. If you can get along with her day and night, she will sooner or later listen to you."
Although Jun Tianyi was much calmer now, he still frowned slightly when he heard what his followers said, "I know that I am ruthless to her, but I still want to stay by her side and pretend to be affectionate to her. This is not fair to her."
"But you have no other choice. If you feel sorry for the princess, you should try your best to make up for it in the future. There should be many people in the court of Tianqi who are dissatisfied with the tyrant emperor and corrupt officials. If you can really solve the problem of Song the dog thief, it will not be difficult to get rid of the tyrant emperor. By then, there will be chaos in the court. You can take this opportunity to instigate a group of people to testify that you have never rebelled, but were only framed by Song the dog thief. The premise of all this is that the princess is willing to help."
"Your Majesty, as an outsider, Xiling Country will not be willing to lend you troops. But if you become the princess's consort, you will no longer be an outsider. You understand this principle better than your zodiac sign, so you should make up your mind as soon as possible."
Jun Tianyi listened to what the people around him said, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Indeed, he now has no soldiers and no money, and he cannot fight against the thief Song on his own.
Si Lianhuan is his only hope for a comeback. If the court of Tianqi Kingdom is in chaos, Xiling Kingdom will be able to take the opportunity to suppress it. At that time, he only needs to clear himself of the stigma of traitor, and he can still realize his lofty ambitions.
Song Gouzei was so notorious back then, but he was able to reverse his reputation, so he can certainly do it too.
When he has cleared his name and stands in front of Jiang Rumin with dignity, will she regret the abuse she had leveled at him?
After thinking for a long time, Jun Tianyi said to Du Zhong beside him: "Please invite the princess over."
Du Zhong's face lit up, "I knew that the prince would come to his senses. I will go and invite the princess right away."
Not long after Du Zhong left, Jun Tianyi heard footsteps outside the door.
The next moment, a tall and slender figure came into view. The person was wearing a green dress with tight sleeves. Her black hair was piled up high, and a gemstone flower of the same color as the dress was embedded in her hair. She looked fresh, elegant, simple and neat.
She stood in front of the table and smiled at him, "I heard from the prince's men that you have something to talk to me about?"
"When I woke up yesterday, I was a little dazed and I haven't thanked the princess properly yet."
Jun Tianyi paused and said, "I will never forget the princess' kindness."
"You saved me before, and now you are in trouble, it is my duty to help you. What are your plans next?"
Seeing that the other party was looking at him intently, Jun Tianyi lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Your Highness probably has nowhere to go, so why not come back with me to the Xiling Kingdom Palace? Father and Mother know that you saved me. Although you are not as glorious as before, they will not look down on you. Of course, if you feel constrained in the palace, you can live in my princess mansion."
Jun Tianyi still expressed his displeasure at Si Lianhua's proposal, "Princess, are you treating me like a bird in a cage? Even if I am down and out, I will never be controlled by others."
Although Jun Tianyi has made up his mind to get along with her, he doesn't want to get closer to her too quickly.
If everything goes as smoothly as she hopes, she will definitely not cherish it.
"Your Highness seems to have misunderstood me. I really want to help you, so how can that be constraining you? I understand that you have backbone, but it is impossible for you to return to Tianqi Country now. Your influence in the court should have been eliminated by Song Yunchu, right? You have lost your connections and reputation, so it is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree if you want to deal with Song Yunchu."
"If you insist on seeking revenge, you will probably be courting death. I know it's hard to let go of hatred, but people have to live, right? Just listen to me and forget the past. You can live a noble life with me. Why bother with revenge?"
Even though Jun Tianyi had prepared himself mentally in advance, he still found these words harsh.
Even if Si Lianhuan is unwilling to help him now, he cannot accept her comparing him to an ant!
However, before he could open his mouth, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Princess, I have something important to report!"
Upon hearing this, Si Lianhuan said goodbye to Jun Tianyi and turned to leave the room.
"What is it?"
"Princess, the last fragment of the treasure map is in Tianqi Country!"
