Chapter 184 Calming Down
Have a good night's sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, she found that only Chen Wan was lying in bed. She didn't know whether Xie Jingyu had come back to sleep last night, and she didn't ask.
As usual, I washed, dressed, and then had breakfast.
As soon as Shen Wan sat down, Xie Jingyu put some food in her bowl. Shen Wan suspected that he did it on purpose.
She didn't eat the food he served her for dinner yesterday, and she's very hungry now. This guy is definitely testing whether she has the guts to even skip breakfast.
Shen Wan has some backbone, but not much.
She couldn't just not eat and starve herself to death.
She thought a lot last night and had lost her original intention. She wanted to have a good relationship with Xie Jingyu, but God knows why things got worse and worse. In fact, she didn't care that much about how Xie Jingyu treated her. What she was afraid of was that this bastard would not be satisfied after killing her, and would target her father, elder brother, and the Yun family as well.
In his previous life, his father and elder brother were both killed by Xiao Yun, so it was impossible for them to be a match for Xie Jingyu.
As long as her father and elder brother are fine, it doesn't matter if she suffers a little injustice.
Shen Wan looked at the steps in the bowl that Xie Jingyu handed over and ate it as if nothing had happened.
Xie Jingyu thought Shen Wan would put down her chopsticks and leave, but he didn't expect her to eat it. He picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks.
Shen Wan gritted her teeth and said, “I can pick up the food myself.”
"Are you not angry anymore?" Xie Jingyu coaxed.
It’s not that she’s not angry anymore, it’s that she doesn’t dare to be angry.
A little lack of patience will ruin great plans.
This wasn't someone she could afford to offend.
Shen Wan said in a muffled voice, “I have no reason to be angry. It’s your own business, so you should take care of it yourself. If you need me to do anything, I will cooperate with you.”
Xie Jingyu, “……???”
Did this woman calm down or not?
Xie Jingyu was about to ask, but the maid happened to come in to report Shen Wan's affairs, and the subject was changed.
After breakfast, Shen Wan took Shan Hu to Wing Chun Temple to pay her respects.
As soon as she entered the room, she received two unhappy looks. Concubine Wen and Xie Zhihuan looked at her angrily.
And the Second Madam, who was eager to watch the fun, added fuel to the fire, "Miss Wen fell down the stairs yesterday. I wonder if she was seriously injured?"
Concubine Wen didn't like her in the first place and was always looking for trouble with her, and there were also a lot of people stirring up trouble.
The Jingbei Palace is not a safe place. Xie Jingyu should let her go earlier. She should thank him.
Shen Wantang didn't hear the second lady's instigation and was about to pay her respects before going to see the princess. She was not feeling well, so she asked Xie Jingyu to accompany the princess to General Yunhui's residence.
But she didn't leave. The old lady asked her, "The emperor's birthday is coming in a few days. I asked you and the prince to prepare a birthday gift. How are the preparations going?"
Shen Wan said, “My husband prepared it, I didn’t ask.”
Concubine Wen heard this and said, "The old lady asked you to prepare it with the prince, and you just left it to the prince and didn't care?"
I've never seen anyone so good at finding fault.
Shen Wan was already very angry, and Concubine Wen had really put her in a difficult position. "I would like to prepare, but I've been recovering from my sprained ankle for so many days and I can't even leave the house. How can I prepare?"
She didn't blame Xie Zhihuan for plotting against her and causing her to get hurt, but Concubine Wen would definitely cause trouble for her.
Concubine Wen felt guilty and said, "Then you can't just not ask."
Chen Wan said coldly, "When you employ someone, trust him. When you doubt him, don't employ him. When preparing a birthday gift for the emperor, if you want to discuss it, you should discuss it with my father. Do you need me to interfere?"
Even she had to listen to Xie Jingyu. Xie Jingyu discussed with her that Concubine Wen had even lost her brain in order to suppress her.
The old lady said, "I trust Yu'er to do things."
The Third Madam said, "I heard that both Beiyue and Dongliang have sent people to congratulate the emperor on his birthday this year, and they will arrive in Kyoto in the next few days."
Everyone started discussing this matter one after another.
In the previous life, when the emperor celebrated his birthday, Dongliang sent envoys, but Beiyue and Ning Dynasty were at war, so naturally there was no such thing.
In this life, there is no war on the border, so it is normal for North Vietnam to send people to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
It sounded boring, so Shen Wan was about to leave. Just as she was about to get up, a maid came in and said, "Old Madam, the princess is not feeling well, and someone has been sent to invite the imperial physician..."
The Second Madam asked, "The princess was fine yesterday, why did she suddenly become unwell?"
Yesterday evening, the princess asked her to accompany her to General Yunhui's residence today. How come she felt unwell after just one night?
Worried, Shen Wan got up and went to the Liuli Courtyard to see the princess.
Inside the room, the princess leaned against a large pillow, looking haggard and as if she was seriously ill.
When Shen Wan saw this, she said, "Isn't mother going to General Yunhui's residence? Why did she suddenly fall ill?"
The princess said weakly, "Mother, this is an old illness. Don't worry, it will be fine after a while. When mother recovers, you can accompany her to General Yunhui's mansion."
Old problem?
Shen Wan looked at Mother Zhao, "Has Mother ever been sick before?"
Mother Zhao said, "Not only has she been sick before, but the princess has been sick many times. Most of the time, she recovered after ten days or half a month. There was only one serious illness, which lasted for almost a month. Apart from feeling weak and having trouble eating, her life was not in danger. Don't worry, Princess."
Mother Zhao was not worried at all about the princess's old illness.
Shen Wan asked, "What disease does mother have?"
The princess shook her head.
Mother Zhao said, "I've seen several doctors, but none of them can figure out what's wrong with me. I get sick suddenly, and I get better just as suddenly. Medicine doesn't work, but I've gotten used to it over the years."
There are many diseases in this world that doctors cannot diagnose, so there is nothing to be surprised about, as long as it is not serious.
The princess fell ill, and Xie Jingyu came to see her. The imperial physician came to take her pulse and said that the princess had an old illness and needed to rest and recuperate. After the imperial physician left, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu did not disturb the princess's rest and left together.
On the way back, Xie Jingyu said, "Don't worry, mother is fine."
Shen Wan said, “Mother Zhao told me.”
The tone is distant.
Xie Jingyu knew that she was still angry and was even wary of him holding her hand and pulling her handkerchief.
The two returned to Zhaolanxuan, one went back to the room and the other went to the study.
Shen Wan was doing needlework to pass the time. She embroidered a crabapple flower. The little maid came in and said, "Princess, the wife of General Yun Hui is here. The princess wants you to go and greet her."
The princess did not go to General Yunhui's mansion, but General Yunhui's wife did come.
The little maidservant reported and left.
Chen Wan instructed Shanhu, "Go tell the prince to go and greet him."
coral,"……???"
Shanhu was increasingly confused about her own Crown Prince's wife's thoughts. She asked, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
There is no reason for the Crown Prince to go and greet the female relatives when they come to visit. General Yun Hui's wife is not the Crown Prince's mother-in-law.
Shen Wan said, "Just go if I tell you to!"
Shanhu didn't dare to disobey, but she went to the study and came back quickly, "Princess, the prince is out of the house and not in the study."
Why did you leave the house?
It's useless to give him any chance.
Chen Wan put down the embroidery frame in her hand and stood up.
When I reached the second gate, I saw Madam Shen and Shen Ling coming from afar.
Madam Shen was about the same age as the princess, dignified and graceful. Shen Ling wore a light blue dress with butterflies embroidered on the hem. As she walked, the butterflies danced.
Chen Wan seemed to understand why Xie Jingyu mistook her for him in his previous life when he was drunk.
She and Shen Ling have similar preferences.
Shen Wan went to greet her and said, "My mother was originally going to go to General Yunhui's mansion today, but unfortunately, her old illness came back, and I didn't expect Madam Shen to come to the mansion to see my mother."
"My mother will definitely be happy to see you."
Shen Wan led them towards the Liuli Courtyard.
Seeing Madam Shen, the princess was happy, and her pale face had some color.
Madam Shen said distressedly, "On the way back to Beijing, I was worried that your old illness would relapse. As expected, what you worry about will come true. Why does it always happen at this time? Could it be that you can't stand the smell of flowers and plants?"
The princess said, "I'm sorry to have worried you. I was planning to go see you, but you came first."
Madam Shen said, "You are still so distant with me. If it weren't for the prince yesterday, Ling'er would have died."
The princess didn't know about this yet, so she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Madam Shen said, “Yesterday Ling’er went out to play on the street. If the prince hadn’t rescued her, she would have been hit on the head by a falling flower pot.”
"In order to save Ling'er, the prince broke all the jade pendants that the princess gave him. Ling'er heard about this and picked out a similar one from the Gold and Jade Pavilion. I hope the princess won't be angry."
