Chapter 67 A Strong Girl
"The Crown Prince is your eldest brother, a brother like you. In order to overturn the Crown Prince's case, your Highness traveled for a month and was seriously injured. Now that the Crown Prince has been reinstated, it proves that your Highness's hard work these days was worth it!"
Shen Lingshu's voice was gentle and firm. She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Cong with admiration in her eyes. Her lips curled up slightly: "Your Majesty, I want to learn from you!"
Her bright smile was full of recognition of him.
Many people did not understand his actions, not even his biological uncle.
In the eyes of his uncle, Duke Xiao, it doesn't matter which of the two brothers becomes the crown prince. Since the crown prince has been deposed, he should fight for that position instead of risking the emperor's anger by pleading for the deposed crown prince several times and overturning the verdict.
Now, Shen Lingshu's recognition gave Chu Cong an indescribable feeling. He reached out and pressed her into his arms. Did someone finally understand him?
In Qiutang Courtyard, when Concubine Fang heard the news, she felt a moment of loss, then she sighed deeply: "Does the prince really not want to be the crown prince?"
In order to overturn the prince's case, he traveled around for a month and even got injured. What was the prince thinking?
…
Royal Villa.
"Huayi, is my mother here?"
Shen Lingyi destroyed all the newly opened winter jasmine flowers in the yard. From the beginning, she had been looking forward to the prince's reinstatement. Now, with day after day of disappointment, she began to doubt whether the prince could really be reinstated.
"No, but the lady should be here soon. I'll go to the door to greet her." Huayi said, and immediately prepared to go out to greet her.
Shen Lingyi lay softly on the couch. She was so young. Was she really going to spend her whole life in this royal villa?
no.
Shen Lingyi sat up straight and murmured: I, Shen Lingyi, can never live like this for the rest of my life.
"Lingyi, Lingyi!"
Yu’s excited voice came, she grabbed Shen Lingyi’s hand, and she couldn’t speak excitedly.
Shen Lingyi looked at her excited expression and guessed, "Is it that the crown prince has been reinstated?"
"Yes, the Crown Prince was just welcomed back to the East Palace. It was a grand occasion."
If she hadn't been anxious to tell her daughter, Yu would have taken a good look. The prince had finally been reinstated, and her daughter's hard times were finally over. With tears in her eyes, she held her daughter's hand and said, "Lingyi, your hard times are finally over!"
“Hahaha~”
Shen Lingyi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and said excitedly: "God is helping me."
Linwang Mansion, Youlan Courtyard.
The news of the prince's reinstatement came, and the servants received rewards. Chu Cong was recuperating from his injuries and happened to accompany Shen Lingshu to take care of her pregnancy. The matter of the small kitchen and the release of the snake were finally traced back to Hai Jiaren.
Hai Jiaren died only three days after being sent to the farm.
When Shen Lingshu got the news, she was silent for a long time.
"Master, the prince feels sorry for you and is venting his anger for you." Zhu Xin comforted him, fearing that his master would be frightened by this.
"Zhu Xin, tell me, this matter really has nothing to do with the concubine?"
Shen Lingshu muttered to herself, knowing clearly that Concubine Fang was the mastermind behind the incident, but all the evidence had nothing to do with her, which made her even more alert.
Such an enemy is even more terrifying.
In the evening, Shen Lingshu specially asked the kitchen to make sweet and sour pork ribs and taro balls with tofu. After her observation, the prince should like it.
Sure enough, Chu Cong ate an extra bowl of dinner. Spring was here and it was not so cold at night. Shen Lingshu took Chu Cong's hand and took a walk. The moonlight lengthened the figures of the two people walking side by side.
"Spring is here, and the Chinese toon is about to sprout again. Let's ask someone to go and see it next time. The Chinese toon fried eggs are delicious!"
"And shepherd's purse, it makes delicious dumplings."
Shen Lingshu swallowed her saliva, wishing she could eat it right away.
“…”
Chu Cong glanced sideways, seeing that her eyes were full of delicious food, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. As a concubine's daughter, she was not valued by her parents' family, so she had to eat these wild vegetables, right?
"Prince, I'll make it for you another day." Shen Lingshu seemed not to see the heartache in his eyes, she smiled.
Chu Cong: "Okay." She is a strong girl without any self-pity.
At night, Shen Lingshu woke up with a cramp. When Chu Cong was woken up, he was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
"pain."
Shen Lingshu's entire leg shrank into a ball, and her facial features were squeezed together in pain.
In the ear room, Zhu Xin, who heard the noise, came over and massaged Shen Lingshu's legs with ease, explaining: "The doctor said that it is not easy for the master to be pregnant with twins. She is prone to cramps at night. Just massage like this and it will be fine."
Shen Lingshu's forehead was covered with sweat, and she looked at him apologetically: "My Lord, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
The prince must see the hardships of pregnancy so that he can better understand how hard it is to have a child.
"Do you often get cramps like this?" Chu Cong asked with a frown.
"Very little."
As soon as Shen Lingshu finished speaking, Zhu Xin said distressedly: "Master, it is obvious that you have to smoke four or five times a month."
"Doctor Lin has no way to cure it?" Chu Cong looked at her with pity in his eyes.
Shen Lingshu forced a smile on her pale face and said, "As long as the child is safe."
Chu Cong raised his hand and gently wiped away the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Early the next morning, Chu Cong called Doctor Lin over and told him about the night cramps. Doctor Lin said, "Leg cramps are common in pregnant women. Babies need a lot of nutrition. You've been feeling better these past few days. Why..."
"I heard from Doctor Lin that he stewed some bone soup in the small kitchen every day, and the master ate small meals frequently. His condition did improve, but..."
Zhu Xin paused and said, "After the small kitchen is burned, it won't be so convenient to eat bone soup or something like that at night. The master can only fill his stomach with snacks."
"Qingwu, go find a cook." Chu Cong gave the order, and that afternoon, a lady named Wu came to the small kitchen.
Compared with Madam Zhou, Madam Wu looks serious, but when it comes to cooking, she is very much in line with Shen Lingshu's appetite, especially what Shen Lingshu wants to eat, she just needs to tell her, and Madam Wu will be able to make it!
Shen Lingshu liked it very much.
The prince was reinstated, and there was a bustle outside.
The Youlan Courtyard was quiet and beautiful. After the incident with Aunt Hai, Shen Lingshu's courtyard became safer.
Concubine Fang copied scriptures in the mansion until the Dragon Boat Festival, which was a disguised form of house arrest. Concubine Li in the mansion was extremely happy as she had more opportunities to serve the prince.
"Auntie Lin?"
Shen Lingshu had just woken up from her nap when she saw Lin Baozhu coming. Compared to last time, Lin Baozhu looked much better today. She said, "Aunt Shen, I have made clothes, shoes, and hats. Do you like them?"
"Auntie Lin, you are so skillful, aren't you?" Shen Lingshu couldn't take her eyes off the cute tiger-head shoes and hat. It was obvious that they were made with great care in the fine stitching.
