Having given birth to the Prime Minister's eldest son, you're afraid the Prime Minister won't agree with you? When the time comes, I'll definitely kill that little bitch!" Su Qing was so angry that she grabbed the clothes on her belly tightly, which frightened Wang Ximu. She immediately stepped forward to calm her down, "Madam, don't be angry! We've made it through all these months. We can't let anything happen at this critical moment, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted!"
While speaking, Wang Ji Mu couldn't help but blame Su Yuan in her heart. He knew that Su Qing was pregnant, but he still said whatever she hated without any scruples!
Su Yuan obviously understood the meaning of Wang Ji Mu's words, and he was immediately dissatisfied. He cursed inwardly, "How dare an old fellow like that be so arrogant and rude to me? He had to beg for food in the Su family back then, but now he has entered the gate of the prime minister's mansion and is so arrogant!"
After talking for such a long time, Su Qing was a little tired. Seeing this, Su Yuan stood up, but Su Qing called him over and said a few words in a very low voice. Then Su Yuan retreated with a gloomy face!
At three o'clock in the morning, a petite figure quickly flashed into Qiluo Garden!
Yun Qianmeng heard Mi Jiji's message, put down the medical book in her hand and walked out of the inner room. She saw a little girl of about twelve or thirteen standing respectfully in the outer room. When she saw her come out, she immediately knelt down and whispered, "This servant greets the young lady!"
"Get up!" Yun Qianmeng gestured for Mu Chun to help the thin little girl up, and said with a pleasant face, "It's so late, you're not in Fenghe Garden, why did you sneak out?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng so docile, the little girl's previous nervousness immediately dissipated. It was also her first time observing Yun Qianmeng so closely. She felt that this young lady was truly a beauty, countless times more beautiful and noble than the second young lady. She couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Yun Qianmeng, and said shyly, "I am usually under the care of Mi Jilang. I will definitely help the young lady keep an eye on the affairs of Fenghe Garden!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng and Mimuji smiled at each other, then gently asked, "What a grateful child! But, remember, don't do anything too dangerous! Since you came here today, I know what it is about! It's probably the content of the conversation between Aunt Su and her brother!"
When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She stared at Yun Ganmeng as if she saw a fairy. She felt that this young lady was not only dignified and beautiful, but also so smart. Before she even opened her mouth, she had already guessed her purpose!
However, Yun Ganmeng's words "Don't do it" made the little girl feel warm in her heart. After staying in Fenghe Garden for a long time, she knew that except for being nice to Wang Jijian, Aunt Su was extremely strict with other maids and servants. Not to mention the Second Young Lady. Whenever she was unhappy, she would take it out on the maids around her!
Now that she sees the eldest lady being so approachable, the little girl is very envious of her sisters who work in Qiluo Garden!
She nodded vigorously and immediately lowered her voice and said, "What the eldest lady said is absolutely right. Aunt Su seems to want her brother from her mother's family to hire a midwife. I was outside and didn't hear it very carefully. It seems that she also mentioned that during the birth, her mother's sister-in-law should accompany her!"
Yun Qianmeng listened to her report with a smile all the time. At the end, she smiled at the little girl. She looked outside and saw that it was almost four o'clock in the morning. Then she said to Mi Jiji, "Mother Ji, you personally send her back and see her enter Fenghe Garden before coming back!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng treat her like this, the little girl felt grateful, knelt down and kowtowed three times, then left the room!
"Miss, her words may not be credible!" Yuan Dong and Ying Xia asked at the same time. Now both of them have been promoted to first-class maids and are always by Yun Qianmeng's side!
"Yes, Miss! Mi Langji may have helped her out with something, but he wouldn't let her take such a big risk to betray the original owner! We'd better be careful, lest Aunt Su come up with a trick!" Mu Chun has been with Yun Qianmeng for a long time, and he has learned to be cautious. He is no longer as naive as before, thinking that the bad people in the world are only on the surface!
Yun Qianmeng just smiled and said nothing. When Mi Jiji came in, she heard Mi Jiji feigning anger and saying to the three maids, "What do you know? If it weren't for the eldest lady's instructions, how could this old servant care whether that little maid from Fenghe Garden lived or died? That little maid was just a servant who lifted the curtains. Even if Concubine Su beat her to death, no one would plead for her!"
However, this matter has to start from the day when Su Qing caused Concubine Hua to have a miscarriage. Although Su Qing did not succeed in framing Concubine Hua that day, he was still holding a grudge in his heart. But at that time, there was no one else in the room except Aunt Wang, so Su Qing asked the little girl who was lifting the curtain in the outer room to come in and tortured the little girl severely. He did get rid of the evil in his heart, but he almost sent the little girl's life to the King of Hell!
In the middle of the night when no one was around, the little girl secretly hid and cried. However, Mi Jiji, who had returned to Qiluo Garden, discovered her and reported it to Yun Qianmeng. She then asked a doctor to check the little girl's injuries!
Maybe this is just a piece of cake for them, but for these maids whose lives are as fragile as paper, it is a life-saving grace!
Although this little girl is only a third-class maid who lifts the curtain, there is a lot of knowledge involved. Who Su Qing meets every day, where he meets these people, and even the conversations between them will more or less fall into the ears of the little maid. This is much better than placing a first-class maid next to Su Qing and having to worry all the time about whether the maid will be discovered!
After listening to Miram's recollection, the other three suddenly realized what was going on. Their faces flushed slightly, and they felt that they had just shown off their skills in front of their young lady!
"Jiangjian, I'll have to trouble you tomorrow to pass a message to Panlan! Since Madam Su is no longer favored by Su Yuan, let her seize the opportunity and control everything in the Su Mansion, so that she won't be controlled by others for the rest of her life!" Yun Qianmeng didn't say much else. With Panlan's personality, she believed that she would understand!
Mi Langmu nodded, then helped Yun Qianmeng into the inner room, and helped her lie down before leaving. Ten days later, Yingxia, who went to grind medicine with Yingqiu every day, suddenly ran into the inner room in a panic, with a look of panic on her face. Seeing Yun Qianmeng practicing calligraphy, she immediately knelt down in front of her with a plop!
"What's wrong? What big thing happened? Why are you so impatient?" Mi Langwu saw Yingxia running in with a gust of wind, almost hanging up the words Yun Qianmeng had just written, and immediately frowned and shouted angrily!
"Miss, something bad has happened!" Yingxia didn't care about Mi Jinwu's punishment at all, and immediately spoke with a sad face!
"What's making you so embarrassed? Get up and talk!" Yun Ganmeng put down the brush in his hand and spoke calmly, while asking Yuandong to help Yingxia up!
But Yingxia refused to get up, and kept kowtowing, saying, "I went to Xia Mulang's place today, but found the yard in a mess. Some of the precious medicinal herbs were ruined and unusable. Yingqiu was stabbed with a knife, and the box of kudzu was thrown into the stove!"
"What?" Mi Jiji and Yuan Dong were shocked. They looked at each other and then immediately looked at Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng's expression suddenly turned grim, and a chill emanated from her body. She asked in a cold yet calm tone, "Are you worried about your life? Where's Xia Langju?"
【91】
"Fortunately, Yingqiu reacted quickly and hid Xia Yanmu under the bed. She used her body to block the gap between the bed and the ground. Otherwise, Xia Jiji would have been in danger!" Yingxia said uncomfortably with tears in her eyes!
Especially when she remembered that when she stepped into the room filled with the smell of blood and saw Yingqiu lying on the ground covered in blood, her face as pale as paper and her forehead slightly black, Yingxia felt an infinite anger in her heart!
These days, Yingxia goes to the courtyard every day to develop an antidote with Yingqiu. She admires Yingqiu's medical skills very much. After learning about Yingqiu's life experience, she remembers that she is also an orphan, and the two of them get along better and better!
Moreover, Yingqiu looks rather aloof and doesn't talk much, but judging from her expression when she takes care of Xia Jimu's daily life and cures Xia Jimu's illness, Yingqiu is a woman with a cold exterior but a warm heart. She is extremely sincere to the people she cares about. Therefore, at the most dangerous moment, she would disregard her own safety and hide Xia Jimu under the bed!
This made Yingxia, an ugly little girl who had lived in a big house since childhood and was used to seeing the intrigues between people, feel shocked beyond words!
She had never imagined that people could be so sincere with each other!
Especially when she found Shammu under the bed, she realized that Shammu was already in tears. She even dragged her crippled leg to Yingqiu's side, hugged her in her arms like her daughter and burst into tears!
"How is Yingqiu?" Yun Qianmeng frowned, her eyes were already icy, and her tone contained a majesty that made people dare not neglect her!
But when the people in the room heard her question, they felt Yun Qianmeng's heartfelt concern for Yingqiu, as well as the anger she was suppressing at the moment!
"Fortunately, Yingqiu turned her body to the side and avoided the murderer's fatal blow, so that the knife did not hit her vitals! But she is now unconscious due to excessive blood loss! The residents around the courtyard heard the noise and surrounded the alley! I was afraid that the enemy would come again, so I begged several aunts to help carry Yingqiu and Xia Yanmu onto the carriage. I didn't dare let the carriage follow me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, for fear of arousing suspicion from other people in the mansion! At this time, the carriage was parked at the corner of the west wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Yingxia wiped the tears from her face and recounted everything in detail!
But Yun Qianmeng's eyes showed worry. She immediately walked around the desk and said coldly, "Follow me out!"
Then, everyone felt a breeze blowing, and Yun Qianmeng's figure was already outside the door!
Mimumu and the others quickly caught up, following Yun Qianmeng all the way to the corner of the west wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where they indeed saw a carriage parked!
Yun Qianmeng supported herself with one hand and jumped onto the carriage. She immediately lifted the curtain, and the strong smell of blood filled her nose. Xia Jianji was sitting in the carriage, holding Yingqiu's head. Seeing that it was Yun Qianmeng who came in, Xia Jianji's face was full of excitement, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled as she opened her mouth. "Little..., sister..."
Yun Qian dreamed of Xia Wuji dragging his broken body to guard Yingqiu. A surge of bitterness welled up in her heart. Holding back the tears that were about to slip out of her eyes, she immediately walked into the carriage and squatted beside Yingqiu. She took Xia Wuji's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, Wuji, I will never let you suffer any injustice!"
"Little book, it's all... my fault... I have implicated... this child... Xia Wuwu spoke incoherently, but the self-blame and discomfort in her tone were moving. Her arms held Yingqiu's body tightly and refused to let go!
Yun Qianmeng carefully examined Yingqiu's expression. She saw that her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and there was a faint blue tint under her eyes. She then touched her hands and found them to be icy cold. Yun Qianmeng made a quick decision and called out, "Muchun!"
"Miss!" Mu Chun, who had been waiting outside the carriage, immediately lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing that Yingqiu's condition was even more serious than Yingxia had just described, he was horrified, but he squatted calmly beside Yun Ganmeng, waiting for her instructions!
"Go to the Fuguogong Mansion now and ask for an invitation from the old lady to invite Dr. Nie to Tianfulou!"
Yun Ganmeng gave the order without hesitation!
But Muchun was puzzled for a moment, and quickly asked, "Miss, what about Doctor Nie?"
There is already a ready-made doctor in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion. Why bother looking for one far away and waste time!
But Yun Qianmeng frowned and shook his head, saying seriously, "My uncle needs help, so go quickly!
Upon hearing this, Mu Chun secretly blamed himself for his negligence, then quickly got out of the carriage and ran towards the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion on foot!
Yun Qianmeng asked Mimuji and Yingxia to get in the car together, and told Yuandong to drive. The group quickly rushed to Tianfulou!
"Yuandong, the carriage is parked at the side door of Tianfulou. Don't let the three of you pay attention!" Yun Qianmeng quickly gave the order after slightly lifting a corner of the curtain and seeing the carriage approaching the main door of Tianfulou!
Although Yuan Dong did not answer, he nodded slightly, immediately drove the carriage through the alley, and stopped at a side door where there were not many pedestrians!
Yun Qianmeng saw that the carriage had gradually stopped, so she and Mimu Ji and Yingxia helped Xia Mumu get off the car, leaving Yuandong alone to guard Yingqiu. The four of them first walked in through the side door of Tianfulou, and after entering the guest room, they left Mi Jiawu to accompany Xia Mumu, and then they and Yingxia borrowed a soft couch from the store, asked two waiters for help, and carried the unconscious Yingqiu into the same guest room!
Although Yingqiu was covered with two thick quilts at this time, the two waiters still smelled a faint smell of blood. In addition, Yingqiu's face was as pale as a dead person, which frightened them so much that they left the guest room as soon as they put down the couch. In less than half a cup of tea, they saw them invite the owner of Tianfulou again!
Yun Qianmeng and a few others were carefully lifting Yingqiu onto the bed when there was a hurried knock on the door. She asked Yingxia to take good care of Yingqiu, and she took Yuandong with her and cautiously approached the closed door!
"Sir, I am the head waiter of Tianfulou! I heard from our waiter that one of the guests is feeling unwell. Would you like me to call a doctor for her?" Although the head waiter was anxious about the situation inside, Tianfulou was the largest restaurant in Kyoto after all. The owner had experienced all kinds of situations and naturally would not offend anyone right away!
At least you should understand the matter clearly before you draw a conclusion, so as to avoid offending people you cannot afford to offend!
Hearing him being so cautious, Yun Qianmeng knew that it must be those two timid waiters who had told Zhang Ju about Yingqiu!
However, although the shopkeeper was extremely anxious, Yun Ganmeng admired his attitude towards handling things. No wonder Tianfulou was still crowded with customers after being run by him for more than 20 years!
However, at this time, he secretly hid Xia Yanwu and Yingqiu in Tianfulou. When he didn't know where the enemy was hiding, the fewer people saw their faces, the safer they would be!
Yun Ganmeng stopped Yuandong from opening the door and gently opened it from the inside. "Thank you for your concern, shopkeeper! My sister usually gets this every month when she's feeling unwell. She'll just need to take good care of herself for a few days and she'll be fine! Please find a driver to watch over the carriage at the side entrance, and have the kitchen prepare some light, blood-tonifying food. I'll pay the money shortly!"
The shopkeeper understood what Yun Qianmeng said and heard what she said. He also felt relieved when he heard the young lady's voice was so gentle and warm. He believed Yun Qianmeng's words, apologized, and led the two dejected waiters down the third floor.
Half an hour later, Mu Chun led Doctor Nie to the third floor and gently knocked on the door of the guest room. Yuan Dong saw that it was his own people through the crack of the door, so he opened the door and led Mu Chun and Doctor Nie into the inner room!
At this time, Yingxia and Mimu had already lowered the curtains. The large pear wood carved bed was blocked from view by light yellow gauze curtains. The green silk ribbons on both sides hung quietly. Although the color was pleasing to the eye, the increasingly strong smell of blood made Doctor Nie frown!
"I am honored to meet Miss Yun!" Doctor Nie saw Yun Qianmeng standing in front of the pear wood bed and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects!
But Yun Qianmeng stepped forward before him, and with both hands, she lightly supported Doctor Nie. Then, with a face full of gratitude, she said, "Doctor Nie, I'm truly sorry for asking you to come here in such hot weather! However, one of my sisters was injured today, and after much consideration, I believe Doctor Nie is the most trustworthy, so I asked you to come here on my behalf!"
The most important thing is that Old Lady Gu trusts Imperial Physician Nie very much, so Yun Qianmeng naturally doesn’t have to go far to seek help and can just invite him over directly!
Moreover, with Doctor Nie's prestige in Kyoto, unless he himself wanted to reveal the patient's information, others would not be able to get even a shred of truth out of him. This was also one of the reasons why Yun Qianmeng felt at ease to hire him!
When Doctor Nie heard Yun Qianmeng say this, he knew that she had not deceived her about her patient's condition, so he nodded to Yun Qianmeng and walked to the bed with the support of Muchun. Mimumu had already prepared a round stool. Yingxia took Yingqiu's hand out from behind the curtain and covered the weak hand with her silk handkerchief. Only then did Doctor Nie carefully take Yingqiu's pulse!
"Miss Yun, this girl is seriously injured. Could you please let me take a look at her wound?" After a while, Imperial Physician Nie withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, and spoke with a serious and heavy look on his face!
"Doctor Nie, there's a girl inside!" Mi Yanji felt deeply uneasy. After all, Yingqiu was an unmarried girl, so how could she let anyone see her skin? Furthermore, the wound was in such an awkward spot on her abdomen!
Unexpectedly, Yun Qianmeng's expression suddenly turned cold, and she immediately ordered Yingxia to draw the curtains. "Is Mum Ji confused? Imperial Doctor Nie is a doctor, what's there to be taboo about? Besides, we don't know how to heal wounds, so naturally we should ask Imperial Doctor Nie to explain to us how to tend to and bandage Yingqiu's wound!"
Doctor Nie was surprised to see that Yun Ganmeng had such a broad mind and bearing, totally unlike the pretentious and awkward little girls he usually saw. He immediately understood why Old Lady Gu doted on her granddaughter so much. Even he was very happy to see such a girl who would not cause any trouble at all!
A faint smile appeared in Doctor Nie's eyes, but when he saw Yingqiu lying on the bed, his two white eyebrows immediately frowned. He immediately stepped forward to grab Yingqiu's wrist and felt the pulse more carefully. Then he stretched out his right hand, used two fingers to pry open Yingqiu's closed eyes and observed her carefully. Then he opened the medicine box he carried with him, took out a set of silver needles from it, and carefully pierced the most important acupoints on Yingqiu's body!
After finishing all this, Imperial Physician Nie turned to Yun Qianmengkai. "Miss Yun, I'll be on the sidelines giving instructions. Have a maid change her dressing and bandage her!"
"Miss, let me be here!" At this time, Yingxia stepped forward. Yun Qianmeng knew that Yingxia knew some medical knowledge after all, so she nodded and handed Yingqiu to the two people in front of her with confidence!
Yingxia carefully lifted up Yingqiu's clothes, revealing the hideous scars on her body. Not only Mu Chun and the others were stunned with fear, but even Doctor Nie's expression turned a little colder. They didn't know who was so cruel to such a girl!
He took out the best hemostatic powder from the medicine box and gave it to Yingxia. Doctor Nie instructed Yingxia to remove the medicine and bandage the wound. After everything was done, a whole hour had passed!
Then Doctor Nie walked out of the inner room again, wrote a few prescriptions, explained them in detail to Yun Qianmeng and Yingxia, left a few bottles of hemostatic powder, and then stood up to say goodbye!
"Jiangwu, Yingxia, Yuandong, you stay here for a while to take care of Xia Wuji and Yingqiu!" Yun Gan dreamed that it would be too dangerous if only Yingqiu and Xia Jiji were left here, so he simply kept all the useful people around him, leaving only Muchun to serve him!
"Miss, no, you can't..." At this time, Xia Jiji, who was sitting behind the screen, spoke intermittently. She was extremely anxious. How could she let the young lady be served by only a maid? If something happened, how would she explain to the dead young lady?
Yun Qianmeng walked behind the screen and said with a smile, "Jiang Ju, please stop being so formal. Now that Jian Ju and Ying Qiu are both my family, how can I not take care of them? I'll just have to ask you to stay here for a few days. Once I've finished my business, I'll take you back home!"
After saying that, Yun Ganmeng patted Xia Jiewu's hand, and whispered some instructions to Mi Tangwu and the other two, then left with Mu Chun!
Because she had just left in such a hurry, Yun Qianmeng hadn't even bothered to put on her hat. As soon as she appeared in the lobby of Tianfulou, she immediately attracted the attention of all the diners. Even the head waiter of Tianfulou, who was counting the bill, couldn't help but look at Yun Qianmeng a few more times. "I felt that this little girl following behind Yun Qianmeng looked familiar!"
"Miss, are you going back to the mansion?" The two of them came to the side door and saw that the boss had indeed found a coachman. So he asked Mu Chun to hand the coachman one or two taels of silver and told him, "Go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion!" Then he got into the carriage under Mu Chun's surprised gaze!
After a relatively short period of bumps, the carriage gradually stopped at the gate of the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Mu Chun jumped off the carriage and went to knock on the door. He saw that a corner door next to the three main doors was opened a crack. After asking who was coming, the corner door was closed again!
In just half a cup of tea, the three main doors that were closed just now were opened at the same time, and the King of Chu walked out of the mansion quickly with Jiao Da smiling!
The King of Chu was smiling at this time, but Jiao Da was still expressionless. There was even a hint of helplessness in his calm eyes. Especially when he saw the armored soldiers standing in line on both sides of the palace gate, Jiao Da's face darkened a little!
"Girl, you're here?" The King of Chu stopped only three steps away from the carriage, rubbing his hands with a smile, asking a question that he knew the answer to but still spoke very gently, which made Mu Chun's body covered with goosebumps. Jiao Da, who was standing behind him, quickly rolled his eyes!
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yun Ganmeng echoed the words of the King of Chu in the car. Since the King of Chu likes to play so much, he will play with this old fox!
With her bare hands, she lifted the carriage curtain, and a small face as beautiful as a lotus gradually emerged from the carriage. Her beautiful face without any makeup immediately made the smile on the King of Chu's face and eyes become even brighter!
But Yun Qianmeng's extremely gentle response to the King of Chu made Mu Chun stunned for a moment, and Jiao Da on the side almost opened his mouth. His mind was confused for a moment, and he just couldn't figure it out. When did Miss Yun, who was always cold and polite to the King of Chu, become so gentle?
Thinking of this, Jiao Da suddenly felt doubtful. He stepped forward silently and whispered in the King of Chu's ear, "Your Highness, Miss Yun's attitude is a little strange!"
But what he got was a kick from Chu Nanshan. Then he turned his head quickly and said angrily, "Stand away!"
Jiao Da was filled with grievances and immediately stood far away, too lazy to pay attention to what was happening in front of him. Fortunately, this Miss Yun was just a weak little girl, and the prince was a martial arts master with so many armored guards, so he believed that she could not hurt the prince!
Chu Nanshan had indeed rolled away when he saw Jiao Da. He immediately turned back and greeted Yun Qianmeng, who had already stepped out of the carriage, with a smile on his face. He said flatteringly, "Girl, you've finally agreed to come to my Chu Palace as a guest today! You don't know, ever since you left the Chu Palace last time, I've lost my appetite. Look, in just a few days, I've already gained a few more gray hairs!"
As he said that, he actually lowered his head and moved closer to Yun Qianmeng, letting her take a closer look!
A large head suddenly appeared before her. Yun Qianmeng lowered her head with a smile, only to see that the white hair on the King of Chu's head was not as many as that on Old Lady Gu's. She felt a little amused, but she also smiled as if to comfort him.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. This is all my fault!"
Chu Nanshan didn't want to hear this. He was clearly waiting for Yun Qianmeng to say, "I'll come to the Prince Chu's Mansion more often!" I don't want to hear anything about whether it's a fault or not!
However, seeing Yun Ganmeng caring so much about him, Chu Nanshan felt very touched. It turned out that girls were considerate. So he pointed enthusiastically at the two rows of armored vehicles standing upright at the gate.
"Girl, are you satisfied with this scene? Feiyang was such a jerk. He actually took you through a backdoor last time. Grandpa will definitely skin him alive to appease you!"
Yun Qianmeng looked in the direction of Chu Nanshan's hand, and saw two rows of armored soldiers standing at the gate of the simple Prince Chu's Mansion. As soon as she saw the solemnity emanating from those soldiers, she knew that this was a team that had truly been on the battlefield and had received rigorous training. Such quality was several levels higher than Prince Chen's city guards and the emperor's guards!
However, at this moment, these soldiers standing at the gate of the ancient Chu Palace were too conspicuous. As the Chu King had always been a low-key person, he would not have been so grand if I had not come today. After all, one only needed to look at Jiao Da's expression, as if he had swallowed a fly, to know his dissatisfaction with this matter!
"I'm sorry to trouble your Highness! But such a grand ceremony makes me flattered and I dare not step into the palace gate!" Looking at the people who were gradually gathering around to watch the excitement, Yun Qianmeng reminded her implicitly that she didn't want the censors to report her tomorrow because of the King of Chu's behavior!
Chu Nanshan naturally understood Yun Qianmeng's hint, and immediately glanced sideways to give Jiao Da a look, but found that Jiao Da was actually looking up at the white clouds and blue sky in the sky. Chu Nanshan was so angry that his two small white beards trembled for a long time. He could only wave his hand and let the guards retreat into the palace. Then he smiled and accompanied Yun Qianmeng and walked into the palace together!
The Prince of Chu's Palace lacks the grandeur of the Imperial Palace, nor the rare and exotic animals of the Prince of the Sea's Palace. Even the exquisite buildings in the Prime Minister's Residence are nowhere to be seen. Here, all you see is a sea of lush greenery, with green pines and spotted bamboos being the most common plants. All the pavilions and towers exude an ancient atmosphere, and the history and memories deposited in them are so profound that one can seem to feel the connotation even if one is just passing through these scenes!
This was the second time Yun Qianmeng came to the Prince Chu's Mansion. Although Yun Qianmeng was also extremely anxious this time compared to the first time, after entering the Prince Chu's Mansion, her anxious mood seemed to have been washed away and she slowly calmed down!
"I've heard that the prince only married one princess in his life, and he has lived in seclusion since her passing! From the moment I entered the Prince Chu's mansion, I felt a sense of peace in my heart. I guess it has something to do with the prince's daily health regimen!
Yun Qianmeng glanced at everything in the palace. Although the colors were a bit monotonous, these vibrant colors filled people with vitality. It was the best place to maintain health!
The King of Chu felt a surge of pride as he listened to Yun Qianmeng's praises, but his deep, sea-like eyes were fixed on the pavilions in the distance, a hint of tenderness and nostalgia lingering in his gaze as he smiled faintly.
Although she was extremely intelligent, she was a simple-minded person. Even after becoming a princess, she continued to live the same daily life as before! This Chu Palace remained unchanged, except for the slightly renovated old house when the ancestor emperor gave it to me. However, the vegetation in the garden was planted by her own hands. I had thought that we would grow old together, but I didn't expect her to pass away so early!
As he said this, the mischievous look on the King of Chu disappeared, leaving only a loving husband immersed in memories, remembering his deceased wife!
Yun Qianmeng tilted her head slightly and looked at Chu Nanshan with a distant gaze. The low sigh contained countless nostalgia, which temporarily overturned his previous image and made Yun Qianmeng suddenly curious about this famous King Chu!
"However, now that there is a girl to accompany the old man, my old wife should be happy and relieved! Come on, grandpa will take you to visit our palace, so that you won't get lost accidentally when you move in in the future!" But the next second, the deep affection on Chu Nanshan's face suddenly disappeared, and he led Yun Qianmeng through the corridor with excitement on his face, pointing to every attraction in the palace and introducing them in a good mood, but he didn't even ask Yun Qianmeng's opinion first, whether she was willing to marry into the Chu Palace, and talked happily to himself!
"Your Highness, guests are welcome. You should at least let Miss Yun sit down and have a rest and some tea!" Jiao Da saw that the King of Chu was leading Yun Qianmeng around like he was presenting a treasure, and now they were just about to enter the bedroom of Chu Feiyang when he was young in the backyard, so he spoke immediately!
Yun Qianmeng saw the King of Chu leading her further inside. Knowing something was amiss, she paused, taking advantage of Jiao Da's words, and spoke softly. "I've come today to thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life! I promised you that I would cook you a delicious meal, and I ask you to take me to the kitchens of your palace!"
Chu Nanshan was secretly angry at Jiao Da for ruining his good thing, but after hearing what Yun Qianmeng said, his anger disappeared and he smiled even more. He no longer wanted to take Yun Qianmeng into Chu Feiyang's bedroom. He nodded repeatedly with a smile, turned around in an instant, stroked the long beard on his chin with one hand, and walked towards the kitchen even faster!
Yun Qianmeng saw that the King of Chu's steps were swift and powerful, and she knew that he was in good health. Since he was a military general, he must have a good habit of exercising on a daily basis. Compared with Yun Xuanzhi's steps that seemed a little frivolous after indulging in lust, his steps were many times better!
Jiao Da naturally did not expect that this was the purpose of Yun Qianmeng's visit today, but the kitchen is the most important place in the big family. Although Miss Yun has no reason to harm the prince, he still has to be careful, so he immediately followed Chu Nanshan!
"Huff, huff... Miss, the Prince of Chu walks so fast! I have to run to barely catch up with him!" It was a very hot day at this time. Even Muchun, a girl who was always running around to do things, lost to the Prince of Chu in terms of speed today!
However, this is not surprising. If the King of Chu could not even do this when he was marching and fighting in the past, he should have gone home to farm as soon as possible instead of embarrassing himself!
Although Mu Chun usually runs back and forth, he is mostly confined to the Prime Minister's residence. Naturally, he cannot compare with the King of Chu who has a foundation in martial arts!
However, Mu Chun looked at her young lady who was always walking two steps behind the King of Chu, and there was not a single drop of sweat on her young lady's body, and her breathing was normal as usual. She suddenly became curious. The young lady usually did not walk around as much as she did, but why was she out of breath at this moment?
Jiao Da, who was following behind Yun Ganmeng, had already noticed this. You know, the King of Chu was famous for his fast walking speed in Western Chu. But this Miss Yun not only followed the prince closely, but also maintained a calm and contented look on her face every day, which was really impressive!
Chu Nanshan, who was walking in the front, had already noticed this. He knew that Yun Qianmeng was always weak and sickly, because she hadn't exercised for a long time. Today, he deliberately tested Yun Qianmeng, but he didn't expect that this girl would be so amazing. His love for her deepened!
Smoke billowed from the house in front, and the aroma of food filled the air, making people's appetites whetted. They couldn't wait to chow down on the food. The King of Chu touched his deflated stomach and turned to Yun Qianmeng, saying, "Girl, Grandpa wants to eat something refreshing today! You know, it's so hot, and I really don't have much of an appetite."

When Yun Qianmeng heard this, she didn't know how to refute it. After all, Old Lady Gu was Yun Qianmeng's biological grandmother, and you, King Chu, had no blood relationship with Yun Qianmeng at all!
However, despite her thoughts, Yun Qianmeng gave a sly smile and then said, "Your Highness, this cold noodle dish sounds simple, but it's quite complicated to make! Frying and stir-frying are essential, and the process is as complicated as that birthday banquet! I came here with sincerity and have prepared this meticulously! If Your Highness wishes to order other dishes, I have conditions!"
Chu Nanshan was delighted when he heard the conditions. As long as he could be given food, he would be willing to even betray Chu Feiyang's childhood embarrassment!
He immediately came to Yun Qianmeng and asked eagerly, "Speak! Grandpa will definitely agree, even if Chu Feiyang
