Qiu Hu put down the copper basin and answered. Then he walked over and helped Li Chenjiao get up. Together with Lü Mei, he helped Li Chenjiao change her clothes.
The clothes were prepared yesterday. Since I was going to the main courtyard to pay my respects to the Princess today, I was worried about the wind outside. In addition to the cloak, the winter qipao also had a white fur collar, which would block a lot of the wind.
Qiu Hu and Lü Mei waited carefully until Li Chenjiao was dressed before saying, "Last night, the imperial physician was summoned from the main courtyard. He said that the Second Prince is not well."
Li Chenjiao slowly sat down in front of the dressing table. Upon hearing Qiu Hu's words, her already light drowsiness immediately vanished.
"What happened last night? Why didn't the head of the household mention it? How is he? Is he alright?"
Qiu Hu shook her head upon hearing this: "I heard it was the Fujin who said it. Yesterday was the master's birthday, and we shouldn't disturb his peace. She also said that the master isn't a royal physician, and inviting him would only cause him worry. As for whether the second prince is alright, I haven't found out any news. The main courtyard is keeping this matter a complete secret; people can only be seen entering, but not leaving. The candles in the main courtyard were lit all night last night."
Qiu Hu spoke a series of words, and then felt a little thirsty.
Li Chenjiao couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
"What did the master say?"
Qiu Hu sighed quietly: "This morning, after hearing what Eunuch Su said, Master went to the main courtyard. However, today is not a day off. I reckon Master has already gone to court, but Master left Su Peisheng by his side."
Li Chenjiao sighed after hearing this.
"Choose simpler jewelry," she said as a final remark.
I reckon the Fujin's mood isn't much better right now.
Li Chenjiao hadn't seen the Second Prince many times, but in her memory, he was a child who looked somewhat like the Fourth Prince. Although the Fourth Prince didn't show anything in front of her, she didn't need to guess to know that he cared about this legitimate son.
After all, the child was not even two years old, and Li Chenjiao really couldn't bring herself to gloat.
Li Chenjiao knew the true nature of the Fujin (the wife), but it was the Second Prince who suffered.
When the second prince was born, it was the first wife who was in poor health. The second prince was in better health, much stronger than when the eldest princess was born.
More than a year has passed, so why is my health getting worse instead of better?
Qiu Hu, who was styling Li Chenjiao's hair, understood her master's meaning.
The several pairs of cloisonné enamel and kingfisher hairpins that were originally planned were omitted, and only two pairs of understated cloisonné white jade hairpins were chosen for decoration, along with some velvet flowers. The hair was then secured with a more luxurious flat hairpin at the back of the two small buns, and finally, only one kingfisher hairpin with a sparrow on a branch and a grass in front was chosen.
While it's important to be low-key, it can't be too shabby, can it?
