Originally, everyone in the capital thought that Prince Gong's Mansion was doomed, but unexpectedly, Su Wanyan entered the mansion and turned Yu Nanqing's fate around. Not only was her paralysis cured, but she also went to the battlefield with Yu Nanqing and fought a desperate battle against Donghai, returning with a great victory.
It can be said that the couple worked together to avenge the grievances from the battle years ago!
Look at her, isn't Princess Gong's lucky star? She dares to live and die with the prince, so shouldn't she be pampered and treated well?
The group of onlookers nodded repeatedly as they listened. Looking around, it was clear that not only people from this table but also from other tables had gathered around, craning their necks to listen as if they were listening to a storyteller.
"Eh? Who cured the prince's paralysis? Did they say?"
“Oh, that’s even more amazing.” The storyteller said mysteriously, “No one in Prince Gong’s mansion has revealed that during the Prince’s illness, no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion, and among them, only the Princess Consort spends every day with the Prince…”
He lowered his voice, causing those around him to lower their heads as well, afraid of not hearing clearly: "I strongly suspect that the Prince's recovery is inseparable from the Princess Consort. Think about it, back then, no one was allowed to enter the Prince's residence. The only person who could get close to the Prince was the Princess Consort. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and asked, "So, according to you, the Princess Consort can also heal?"
"That's not necessarily true. I'm just guessing, but that's definitely how it was at the time." The man deliberately left a trail in the sand.
"How did you know that?"
"I am not very talented, but I just happened to come from the capital." The man smiled smugly, picking his teeth. "I happened to be in Fuzhou to look for relatives, but I didn't expect to run into Prince Gong's wedding. I saw the bride today, and she is indeed Princess Gong. There is no mistake."
"Oh, I see. I knew the rumors I heard were true. Prince Gong dotes on His Highness the Princess."
"Pah! Of all those who were talking about taking a concubine, you were the loudest."
Everyone chimed in, and the atmosphere became lively again.
The rumors that had just started at noon were overshadowed by the newly learned facts within half an hour.
The news spread like wildfire, and within an afternoon, everyone in the city knew that the Prince Gong Mansion was welcoming Princess Gong.
Meanwhile, what happened to them in the capital moved the young ladies of Fucheng deeply; this was the kind of passionate love they spoke of.
Upon hearing this, the man declared that he should marry a virtuous wife like Princess Gong.
Su Wanyan was unaware of what had happened in Fucheng during that half-day, because she had fallen asleep early and only woke up hungry at dusk.
As soon as she moved, Qiuye's voice gently rang in her ears: "Your Majesty, you're awake?"
Su Wanyan opened her eyes and saw the dim candlelight flickering behind the curtain.
Huang Ye quickly lit all the candlesticks in the room, instantly brightening the dim room considerably.
Su Wanyan looked around and heard lively chatter coming from the front yard. She asked curiously, "Is the banquet still going on?"
They seemed to have arrived in Fucheng around noon, and it seemed like not long after the wedding ceremony, they ate for the entire afternoon.
"Most of the guests have left, and only General Lü and his entourage remain. They're having a good time drinking right now," Qiu Ye said, then asked, "Does Your Highness wish to wash up?"
Su Wanyan nodded.
Qiuye busied herself bringing in hot water for washing up.
At the table, Huang Ye had already served the meal: "This was arranged by the Prince long ago. This main courtyard is the same as the one in the capital. Next to the main house is a small kitchen, where the meals are kept simmering."
Su Wanyan rinsed her mouth with fragrant tea, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth: "Hmm? It's cold?"
"This is a specialty dish of Fuzhou, Yunpian Beef Shank, and the dish itself is served cold."
Su Wanyan nodded, then picked up another piece and put it in her mouth: "Mmm, delicious."
It has a crisp and tender texture, and while it's chewy, it's not tough. The meat is also very delicious.
Su Wanyan was really hungry. Usually, she couldn't finish all the food on the table by herself, but today she ate it all up, and even finished a bowl of soup, feeling completely satisfied.
The main courtyard has a hot spring, which is only two or three hundred meters away from the main house, passing through the corridor. It is very close to the main house.
If you don't want to go through the corridor, there is also a dedicated corridor inside the main house, which is very convenient.
The hot spring pool is about the size of a regular swimming pool, and the water is not very deep.
Having eaten and drunk her fill and slept all afternoon, Su Wanyan took advantage of the break to enjoy a relaxing bath in the hot spring, seeing that Yu Nanqing showed no sign of returning to his room.
Autumn Leaves and Yellow Leaves served him personally, bathing and massaging him, washing his black hair, a process that took almost half an hour.
When Su Wanyan returned to her room, she had not yet seen Yu Nanqing, so she picked up a book about the humanities and mundane affairs of Fucheng and read it by candlelight.
Qiu Ye and Huang Ye summoned a maid, who gently wiped Su Wanyan's waist-length black hair.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Su Wanyan's eyes were getting tired from watching, when she finally heard a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty!" It was Xiaobu and Tanaka's voices, their voices somewhat hurried.
Qiu Ye hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment, this servant will go and take a look."
Su Wanyan was in the inner room at the moment, and outside the inner room there were outer rooms and a flower hall.
Qiuye passed through the round door of the inner room, opened the door to the outer room, and saw Xiaobu and Tianzhong supporting Yu Nanqing standing in the flower hall.
Qiu Ye was startled: "Your Highness!"
Su Wanyan put on her clothes and came out to see that Yu Nanqing was drunk and was being carried back by Xiao Bu and Tian Zhong.
She waved her hand hurriedly: "Come in quickly."
Xiao Bu and Tanaka then lowered their eyes and bowed their heads to escort Yu Nanqing into the room.
The two dared not linger and hurriedly withdrew after exchanging greetings with Su Wanyan.
"Huang Ye, go get the hangover soup."
"yes."
"Qiuye, go and bring a basin of hot water."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Yu Nanqing lay on the bed with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, looking as if she were in great pain.
Su Wanyan patted his face: "Yu Nanqing? Yu Nanqing?"
"Hmm... Yan'er..." Yu Nanqing murmured Su Wanyan's name, his voice soft and pleasant even though he was drunk.
Su Wanyan asked helplessly, "How much did you drink?"
She had never seen Yu Nanqing drunk.
As she spoke, she took Yu Nanqing's pulse and examined it carefully. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing wrong.
Just then, Yu Nanqing grasped Su Wanyan's hand, his long eyes opening a crack as he looked at her with a gentle ripple in them: "Yan'er... I'm... happy today..."
"Yes, I can see that."
"Your Majesty." At this moment, Huang Ye came in from outside the door: "The hangover soup is here."
