With her back to Madam Huo and the two concubines, Jian Ning slowly removed her autumn shirt, revealing a light smoky bodice embroidered with butterfly flowers. She had always preferred warm and cool tones, and in this respect she was very similar to her original mother, the princess.
Although the original Xiu Gu had given birth to four children, she had maintained a good figure due to years of hard work. After Jian Ning came here, she used herbs to make a skin cream and used laser to remove the stretch marks on her belly.
She reached into her bosom and untied the bra she had made, leaving only the tube top with straps at the back. A small bright red mole on her jade-like back was particularly eye-catching, dotted in the middle of the vest like a red plum and white snow.
Her eyes were like water, and she used them to comfort the anxious princess.
"Yes, Miss Xinning, that's for sure!" Concubine Li stepped forward, grabbed Jian Ning's arm, pulled her around, and said to the princess, "Sister, look, this is Ning'er, your Ning'er!"
The princess had loose, jet-black hair and tilted her head slightly. When her eyes fixed on the red mole on Jane Ning's back, she frowned slightly, and then her breathing became rapid. Without saying a word, she moved her body to get out of bed and pounce on Jane Ning.
"Mom!" Jian Ning quickly turned around and supported her.
The princess held Jane Ning in her arms and looked around. Her eyes gradually became clearer, as if the floodgates of memory had opened. Then she held Jane Ning's face in her hands and carefully called out, "Ning'er?"
Jian Ning nodded, but before she could say anything, something magical happened. She heard a childish voice in her heart: "Mother, I'm Ning'er, not your sister, but...it seems your sister is here too."
What's going on? Jian Ning was slightly startled. She turned to look at Concubine Li and Old Madam Huo. They seemed not to have heard the voice in her heart. Then she looked at the princess and saw tears in her eyes again.
Obviously, both the princess and she heard Xiao Xinning's words.
"Ning'er, my dear Ning'er, where have you been? It's so hard for me to find you..." The princess seemed to be awake. She hugged Jane Ning in her arms and murmured.
"That's great, my sister has woken up. The prince will be so happy when he comes back!" Concubine Li held Madam Huo's hand and cried with joy.
Old Madam Huo also kept wiping away her tears.
"God has mercy on me. Ning'er is really a magic medicine for your mother. Now everything is fine. Now everything is fine. Amitabha, Amitabha."
She clasped her hands together and bowed to the air.
Concubine Li also followed her lead and bowed, "Thank you, Bodhisattva, for appearing."
Concubine Min's face was extremely ugly at this time. She secretly cursed her brother-in-law, Manager Wang, for what kind of crappy pharmacology he had learned. She really didn't want to say any congratulations against her will, so she lowered her head and quietly retreated.
But Mrs. Huo and the others were too early to be happy. The princess's clear mind did not last long. She called An'er to Jian Ning again and repeatedly called the maidservant to bring medicine. She spoke to Jian Ning as if she was talking to a child of a few years old, "An'er, be good. Drink the medicine later. It's not bitter. Only by drinking the medicine can the disease be cured. When you are well, your father will have returned from the battle..."
She kept repeating these words over and over again. Jane Ning tried to wake up Xiao Ning and see if she could make the princess sober up again, but no matter how she shouted in her heart, there was no response at all.
Just like a flash in the pan, Xiao Xinning disappeared without a trace. Jian Ning couldn't help but wonder if she had hallucinated before?
"The medicine is here." The maid brought a bowl of tea and secretly gave Jian Ning a look.
Jian Ning was about to take it, but the princess said, "Be careful of the heat. Wait until I cool it down and feed it to you."
She picked up the tea bowl from the tray, scooped some with a small spoon, put it to her lips and blew on it, then fed it to Jane Ning's mouth, just like coaxing a child.
As Jian Ning watched the princess feeding her medicine, she recalled her childhood experiences. When she was six, she had a cold and a cough that lasted for nearly two weeks. By then, her parents had remarried and neither of them cared about her. Later, because her coughing at night disturbed her stepfather, he got up and scolded her for a long time. Only the next day did her mother go to the staff hospital to get her some medicine.
The white pill was huge and extremely bitter, so she spat it out reflexively. As a result, her mother slapped her twice, and one of her teeth was knocked out.
This was the first time in her life, past and present, that someone had fed her medicine. Her nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
"Is it too bitter? Don't be afraid." The princess turned and ordered the maid, "Go get the icing sugar. Next time An'er takes his medicine, remember to bring the icing sugar along with it."
The maid agreed and left.
When she returned, she brought a white porcelain sugar jar. The princess scooped a piece of icing sugar from the jar. Jane Ning saw that it was slightly yellowish rock sugar. The princess fed it to her mouth, and when she saw that she was holding it, she asked softly, "Is it sweet?"
"sweet."
“It’s so sweet.”
Jane Ning wanted to smile at her, but tears started to fall again.
After finishing a bowl of tea, Jian Ning coaxed the princess, "Mother, I've taken the medicine and I'm much better now. I learned some medical skills from my master. Let me take your pulse. Mother, please lie down quickly so I can take a look at you, okay?"
"But mother is not sick?" The princess turned her head, as if she had just discovered Madam Huo. The old lady was two years older than the princess. Although she was already fifty years old, she looked only thirty-five or thirty-six because she took good care of herself. She was not much different from when she was young.
"Qingdong?" The princess called out Madam Huo's maiden name, raising an eyebrow in wonder, "What did you do? How did you age so quickly?" She then looked at Concubine Li, "Lian Fu too, and you too. Hey, who are you?"
Her eyes fell on the maid's face, "Where is Xiaoyu? Where did she go? Why did she replace you?"
The maid knelt hurriedly, "In reply to the princess, my mother and father followed the prince to the north. A letter has arrived saying that they should return to the capital in the next few days. My name is Doujia, and Xiaoyu is my mother. The prince has betrothed my mother to a centurion under his command, and my mother has asked me to serve the princess personally."
"Xiaoyu is married? How come I didn't know when she got married? Xiaoyu's daughter is so grown up, then where are my An'er and Ning'er?" She turned her gaze sharply back to look at Jian Ning, "Who are you?"
She looked Jian Ning up and down, muttering, "Why do you look so much like my An'er Ning'er? No, no, no, my An'er Ning'er is only this big..."
She compared her height, then glanced at the people in the room with a confused look in her eyes. She then shouted that she wanted to go find her An'er Ning'er. Jian Ning held her back and said, "Mom, I'm Ning'er, your Ning'er. I've grown up. Please take a good look at me. I'm really Ning'er, Ning'er!"
The princess pushed her away and shook her head like a rattle. "You are not, my An'er and Ning'er are still very young. I want to go find them. Don't stop me, don't stop me..."
At this time, someone came from outside to report: "Prince Yong wants to see the princess, and the master of the Taifu Mansion wants to see the princess."
