Chapter 80: Does the prince still remember him?
Ruan Yunbo quickly handed the letter to Ruan Yunsheng, "Come sit here and read it."
Ruan Yunsheng couldn't wait to take the letter, and his elder brother's elegant handwriting came into view.
Although it was just a letter, it was not difficult to see Ruan Yunjian's excitement when he wrote it.
He said he couldn't wait to return to Beijing to confirm with his own eyes that his sister was safe and sound, but he couldn't leave Cangwu County for the time being.
He repeatedly told Ruan Yunbo to take good care of his sister, and told Ruan Yunsheng not to worry about him. He would find a way to make some political achievements and leave Cangwu County as soon as possible. Whenever he had the chance, he would come back to see her.
At the end of the letter, Ruan Yunsheng was advised to be careful with her words and actions and never take risks for him, as her safety was more important than anything else.
Pei Jinghong explained, "I've been traveling abroad for the past two years. When I received the letter from my third cousin, I happened to be passing through Cangwu County during those days."
"My eldest cousin was very excited when he saw the letter. He was worried that my third cousin, who was the only one in the Marquis' Mansion, wouldn't be able to take good care of the princess and her cousin. He almost disobeyed the emperor's order and returned to the capital without caring about anything, but I persuaded him to stop."
He smiled and said, "I haven't been to Shengjing for many years. I've been traveling around these years and I miss Shengjing very much. So I suggested that I take my cousin's letter back to Beijing first. If there is anything, I can let my cousin know in time."
Ruan Yunsheng read the letter over and over again, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Ruan Yunbo waved his gold-sprinkled folding fan and said, "Brother, why are you worried? I've taken good care of my sister."
As he spoke, he recalled his sister's previous stay at Prince An's mansion and her visit to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, as well as his elder brother's ability to clear the charge of disrespect and be reinstated, all thanks to his sister and Xie Yan.
On the contrary, not only was he unable to help, but his sister also had to worry about him and help him recognize Bai Ruowei's true face.
If it weren't for my sister, maybe when my eldest brother returned to Beijing, all the property in the Marquis' Mansion would be given away by him.
Thinking of this, Ruan Yunbo blamed himself and said, "It's understandable that Big Brother is worried. I'm really useless..."
Ruan Yunsheng quickly put down the letter in his hand and comforted him: "Don't say that, Third Brother. I took good care of me."
Ruan Yunbo's heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "Then when the eldest brother comes back and hangs up the third brother and beats him, Shengsheng must come to save the third brother."
Several people laughed immediately.
Ruan Yunbo looked at Pei Jinghong and said, "My cousin, you must have had a hard journey. Why don't you go to the guest room and rest first? I will host a banquet to welcome you tonight."
Pei Jinghong smiled and said, "Third cousin, there's no need to be so polite. I hope my arrival doesn't disturb you and the princess's cousin."
Ruan Yunsheng was in a very good mood after receiving the letter from his elder brother.
Since my elder brother asked Pei Jinghong to deliver the letter, he must trust him very much.
She curled her lips and said, "Since we are all family, there is no need for you to be so polite and call me Princess."
"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Pei Jinghong said with a smile, "Although my cousin doesn't remember me, I still have a deep impression of her. I remember when I was a child, when I first came to the Marquis' Mansion, my cousin mistook me for a girl and called me 'cousin'."
Ruan Yunbo also smiled and said, "I remember this incident too. Shengsheng really made your cousin blush."
After they said this, Ruan Yunsheng did have some impression.
"I remember now! When I was a child, a 'beautiful cousin' came to our house. She originally said she would stay in the mansion for a long time. I was very happy to have a sister as a companion, but then, it seems that you left not long after."
She has four brothers, plus Xie Yan, and five young masters in the mansion, but she is the only girl.
So she felt very fresh when a "cousin" suddenly came to visit.
Thinking of his childhood, Pei Jinghong smiled.
His father was not the Zhenguohou's wife's biological brother, but her cousin. To be honest, he was only Ruan Yunsheng's distant cousin.
My cousin lost her father at a young age and was raised by her grandmother, so she has a close relationship with the Pei family.
After my cousin married the Marquis of Zhenguo, she continued to keep in touch with the Pei family.
At that time, the Marquis's Mansion invited a great scholar to teach the princess, and the cousin suggested that he come to study with them.
only……
Thinking of what happened back then, a complex emotion flashed across Pei Jinghong's eyes.
He raised the corners of his lips and said casually, "At that time, I was young and missed home. I was not used to living outside, and I failed my cousin's kindness."
"However, I heard that my cousin's adopted son is actually the emperor's son and has become a prince?"
Ruan Yunbo nodded and said, "That's right, Xie Yan was already King Xuan five years ago."
"I almost forgot that you all met each other when you were little. You came just in time. Xie Yan has also been staying at the Marquis' Mansion recently. But he was injured and is now recuperating in Guanlan Courtyard. Otherwise, I would have called him over so that we could all meet together."
Pei Jinghong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really? That's indeed... quite a coincidence."
While Lan Tingxuan and the others were talking, Mo Ying hurriedly reported Pei Jinghong's arrival to his prince.
Xie Yanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Pei Jinghong?"
Mo Ying nodded repeatedly, "I hid outside the window and listened for a while. The Third Young Master said that this cousin lived in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days when he was a child. Does Your Highness still remember him?"
Xie Yan scoffed lightly: "Yes, of course there is."
When he was first brought back by the Marquis of Zhenguo, it was only him and Shengsheng who studied and practiced calligraphy together.
But as soon as Pei Jinghong arrived, Shengsheng's attention was attracted by Pei Jinghong!
Pei Jinghong has looked like a girl since he was a child. When he grows up, he must be a weirdo!
As expected, Mo Ying said, "Your Highness, you don't know that all the maids in the Marquis' Mansion are gathered together right now to discuss this young cousin. Their faces are as red as lanterns!"
He had just taken a look while hiding outside the window. Although from a man's perspective, he felt that the cousin's appearance was a little too delicate and gorgeous.
But in the eyes of women, maybe they think it looks good.
Xie Yan's eyes darkened. Shengsheng has liked beautiful things since she was a child.
That's why he cares so much about his face. He doesn't care about the injuries on his body, but he pays special attention to protecting his face.
The emperor had previously broken his forehead with a paperweight, and he had specifically instructed Doctor Xue to prepare a scar-removing ointment to ensure that no scar was left.
Mo Ying said, "Your Highness, I heard that the conversation in Lanting Pavilion was quite pleasant. Not only was the Third Young Master very friendly towards this cousin, but even the Princess treated him very well."
"The Third Young Master also said that he would prepare a dinner to welcome the young master!"
At that time, the princess will definitely have dinner with them, but their prince can only stay in the room to recuperate because he was "beaten with the cane fifty times in the court". He is all alone, which is really pitiful.
Xie Yan clenched his fingers tightly behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Send Doctor Xue over and tell him that my wound is very painful. Ask if there is any painkiller in the palace."
