Chapter 294 I'm a little hot
As soon as Chunzhi and his group arrived at the Chang'an Palace, Huo Zheng was asked to leave to take care of official business.
The senior female official beside Queen Wang came to invite the Thirteenth Princess back to the palace.
Huo Yanran didn't want to go back to the palace yet. She looked at Chunzhi eagerly and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Chunzhi said, "The prince and I will be going to Xizhou soon, so let Yanran stay in the palace for a few more days. I don't know when we will be able to live together again."
Lady Gao said, "The Emperor asked about the Thirteenth Princess. He said that since Princess Chang'an returned to the capital, there has been no sign of the Thirteenth Princess. That's why the Empress ordered me to bring the Princess back to the palace."
It was the emperor's intention, so Huo Yanran had to go back to the palace even if she didn't want to.
"All right."
Huo Yanran looked at the two little ones sleeping soundly with reluctance. If she returned to the palace, there would be no such adorable little ones for her to play with.
Chunzhi said softly, "I'll go with Yanran to pack up. Please ask Lady Gao to go to the side hall for some tea and wait for a moment."
The high-ranking official nodded and said, "Princess and Princess, please hurry up."
"Okay." Chunzhi agreed immediately and asked the wet nurse and maids to take Xiaoxinghui and Nian'er back to the house to sleep. She took Huo Yanran to the yard to pack up.
Yuzhu originally went along to help.
Huo Yanran whispered to her, "I don't have anything to pack. I just need to have a few more words with my sister-in-law. Yuzhu, don't bother. Just go wherever you need to go."
Yuzhu understood and said, "Then I'll go see how Master Gu is doing."
Chunzhi said, "Thank you for your hard work, Yuzhu."
Yuzhu went to Gu Yuanjia's courtyard.
Chunzhi used the excuse of helping the Thirteenth Princess pack her things to return to Chunhua Garden with Huo Yanran.
The peach blossoms in the garden are almost all in bloom and will soon bear fruit.
Huo Yanran had joked with Song Wan'er yesterday that when the peaches were ripe, they would use them to make peach pastries.
But none of them lived here until the peaches were ripe.
Chunzhi brought Huo Yanran into the house and helped her pack up the little things she had collected over the past few days. She whispered to her, "Your Majesty, if your father thinks of you now, he must be looking for a prince consort for you. If you have a suitable candidate, please tell your mother as soon as possible..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but pause when she remembered Huo Yanran's love for Liu Tanhua, and advised her: "Some people just need to see enough of them, don't keep thinking about them."
Huo Yanran is already seventeen years old. Although there is a twelfth princess, Huo Qinghan, who is three months older than her, Prince Rui and Concubine Shu have been looking for a prince consort for Huo Qinghan since Liu Tanhua refused the marriage proposal. It is unknown when the twelfth princess will get married.
If Huo Yanran always kept thinking about Liu Tanhua and refused to look at other eligible men, not only would she waste her youth, but if she was matched up by the emperor like Song Wan'er, she would have no place to cry.
"I know, sister-in-law."
Huo Yanran put away the half-read notebook beside her pillow and placed it together with the things Chunzhi had sorted out.
The Thirteenth Princess originally thought that she could live happily every day, but today, Song Wan'er suddenly received an imperial decree granting her marriage at her coming-of-age ceremony, which really shocked her.
Huo Yanran knew from a young age that she was just one of her father's many daughters. She was not his favorite, nor was she smart or beautiful. The only thing that people talked about was that she was raised by the queen.
She was seventeen years old and was no longer the child who used to hide behind a tree and watch her father holding other princes and princesses. She knew that it was not a good thing that her father suddenly thought of her at this time.
He also knew that Liu Yan, who was unwilling to marry Huo Qinghan, would not marry her either.
It’s just that a girl’s feelings are always a dream.
Huo Yanran was very happy when she was in the Chang'an Palace, but happiness is always short-lived. She suddenly turned around and hugged Chunzhi, "Sister-in-law, why wasn't I born a boy? If I were a man, I would marry Wan'er. Once we get married, we'll never have to separate again."
Chunzhi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Are you still thinking about this?"
Huo Yanran said: "Yes."
"Okay." Chunzhi touched Huo Yanran's head, "You go back to the palace first. I'll find a way to bring Wan'er to the palace to see you another day."
Huo Yanran couldn't believe it, "Really?"
"Really." Chunzhi thought that before leaving Beijing, she would take Xiaoxing back to see her mother, and bring Wan'er with her.
Huo Yanran said, "Then I take it seriously. Sister-in-law, don't forget it."
"Okay." Chunzhi responded gently, helped Huo Yanran pack her things and sent her out.
Lady Gao and the others drank tea and took Princess Thirteen away.
Chunzhi stood in front of the door and watched the carriage go farther and farther away. Yesterday, sisters and friends were all gathered together, but today they all dispersed. She didn't know when she could wander among the flowers and sit leisurely with a cup of tea again.
And this matter, Shofuin.
Yuzhu returned to the courtyard where Gu Yuanjia was staying and saw that the two servants of the Gu family were guarding the door. No one was waiting inside the house. She couldn't help but ask them, "Why aren't you serving Master Gu?"
The servant from the Gu Mansion replied, "The Master won't let us get too close."
Yuzhu sighed secretly in her heart. It was already this time, why was Gu Yuanjia still so particular?
She asked the two whether Gu Yuanjia had had lunch and drank the medicine.
The servant said he had taken the medicine, skipped lunch, and just drank half a bowl of fish soup.
Yuzhu ordered the maid to prepare some food, then pushed the door open and walked slowly to the bedside...
Gu Yuanjia was not asleep. When he heard the footsteps, he knew that Yuzhu had returned. He looked at her with a gloomy look in his eyes.
As soon as Yuzhu stepped forward, their eyes met.
Yuzhu paused slightly, "Is Master Gu awake?"
"Not obvious enough?" Gu Yuanjia's voice was still a little hoarse.
It's obvious.
She was the one who said something nonsense.
Yuzhu asked him, "Why don't you eat lunch?"
Gu Yuanjia said, "I can't eat it."
He didn't say why he couldn't eat.
But a pair of fox eyes stared at Yuzhu, clearly saying: How can I eat when you are not here?
Yuzhu lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. She said softly, "You have to eat at least a little. How can you keep healthy if you don't eat?"
"good."
Gu Yuanjia responded in a low voice.
Those who are obedient don’t even look like Mr. Gu himself.
Yuzhu suspected that he was confused due to illness, so she raised her hand to touch Gu Yuanjia's forehead to see if he had a fever again.
Gu Yuanjia's body temperature is a little hot.
But it wasn't as hot as before when he was unconscious.
Yuzhu was about to withdraw her hand, but was held down by Gu Yuanjia, and her soft palm was pressed against Gu Yuanjia's forehead.
For a moment, she didn't know whether it was her palms that were hot or Gu Yuanjia's forehead that was hot.
"open--"
Yuzhu was afraid that if she pulled her hand back suddenly it would hurt the wound on Gu Yuanjia's body, so even though it was inappropriate at the moment, she did not forcibly pull her hand back.
"I feel a little hot and uncomfortable." Gu Yuanjia said this very naturally, "Your hands are cold, cool them down for me. But..."
He looked at Yuzhu with his eyes as dark as ink and asked her, "Yuzhu, why are your palms so hot?"
