After leaving her mother's courtyard, Princess Mingyue took Murong Shu directly to her own courtyard. What was there to see in the palace?
On the way, Princess Mingyue asked about her mother's health. "Shu'er, how is my mother's recovery? Is she better than last time?"
"Don't worry, Princess. The princess is recovering very well. With acupuncture and taking medicine for a month, she will be almost recovered." Murong Shu was very confident in his medical skills.
"That's really great, Shu'er, thank you so much!" Upon hearing that her mother was getting well soon, Princess Mingyue was very excited and full of gratitude to Murong Shu.
"I just prescribed a prescription and gave acupuncture. It was Aunt Ning who took the medicine, and it was Aunt Ning who suffered. It was Aunt Ning who really suffered." Murong Shu felt that he was just fulfilling his duty as a doctor, but it was the patient who cooperated with the treatment.
"How can they be the same? Mother has suffered so much over the years and still hasn't recovered. It's only because of Shu'er that mother has a chance." Princess Mingyue disagreed with Murong Shu's words. Without superb medical skills, patients would not only suffer but also be delayed.
"Hey, if these needles can get my mother back healthy when they prick my father, my father and I will definitely be happy." Lord Mingyue's words made Murong Shu laugh out loud.
"Princess, if the prince heard what you said, he would be so sad." Murong Shu held back his laughter and teased Princess Mingyue.
"Shu'er, don't worry. Everyone here is my people. No one will complain to father, and father won't know about it." Princess Mingyue realized something was wrong after she said this, but it didn't matter. For the sake of her mother, her father would not blame her.
Lord Mingyue's words made everyone laugh. No one here really dared to go to King Zhenshan to complain. Given how much their own prince doted on the princess, going to complain would be courting death.
Murong Shu walked into Princess Mingyue's courtyard and found that it was decorated very elegantly, which was a bit beyond Murong Shu's expectations.
From her understanding of Princess Mingyue, she thought she should be a cheerful and generous woman, but some aspects of the decoration of this courtyard were not in harmony with Princess Mingyue's personality.
Murong Shu felt that maybe she had miscalculated. If she knew that Princess Mingyue had done this for her yesterday, she would definitely be surprised.
"Shu'er, look, that's the persimmon tree that my father and I planted together. It bears many persimmons every year. I fly up to pick those on the treetop. These persimmons are very sweet. I'll send you some when I'm done." Princess Mingyue pointed to the persimmon tree in the yard and said to Murong Shu.
"It would be nice to make persimmon cakes." Seeing the tree full of golden persimmons, Murong Shu suddenly felt a little craving for persimmon cakes.
"It turns out Shu'er also likes to eat persimmon cakes. The persimmon cakes made by Nanny are delicious. Ask Nanny to make some in a few days, and I will deliver them to you personally then." Upon hearing that Murong Shu liked to eat persimmon cakes as much as she did, Princess Mingyue was very happy. Finally, someone was sharing them with her.
"Princess, I have made an appointment with Yanran and Ruyan to go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick fruits in a few days. Do you want to join us?" Murong Shu remembered the picking that they had discussed yesterday, and today was a good opportunity to invite Princess Mingyue to join them.
"I want to go too. I have nothing to do recently and I can't stand staying in the mansion any longer." Princess Mingyue was very happy when she heard that she could go out and play.
Murong Shu and Princess Mingyue chatted together for the whole morning. Princess Mingyue couldn't help but ask about the relationship between Murong Shu and Wen Jing.
"Shu'er, are you and Mr. Wen San interested in each other?"
"I think so. I'm very happy with him." Murong Shu felt that she and Wen Jing were interested in each other.
"Shu'er, I know that the Third Young Master Wen is handsome, but it is rumored that he will not live long. Are you really prepared?" Princess Mingyue was really worried about Murong Shu. The rumors about the Third Young Master Wen were known to everyone in the capital.
"Princess, have you forgotten that I know medicine?" Murong Shu reminded Princess Mingyue with a smile.
"Shu'er, do you mean that the Third Young Master Wen can cure it?" This time it was Princess Mingyue's turn to be surprised.
"I took Zi Yu's pulse and it's not as the rumors say." Murong Shu explained.
"That's great, but Shu'er must keep it a secret, otherwise there will be too many girls who want to marry Young Master Wen San." Princess Mingyue was scared at the thought of that scene.
"Thank you for your reminder, Princess. I only told you, so you must keep it a secret for Shu'er."
"Don't worry, Shu'er. I will never tell anyone." Princess Mingyue almost raised her hand to swear.
"I believe in the princess." Jun Mingyue was very happy with Murong Shu's trust.
"Has the princess been engaged?" Murong Shu was not gossiping, women here get engaged quite early, but he had never heard of Jun Mingyue being engaged.
"No, my father has been saying that he would find a son-in-law for me since I was young, so the marriage has been delayed. It is impossible for the legitimate sons to marry into the royal palace, and my father doesn't like the illegitimate sons." Jun Mingyue got a headache when she talked about this.
"Does the princess have someone she likes?" Murong Shu was really curious.
Princess Mingyue nodded shyly. This time it was Murong Shu's turn to be surprised. "Which young master is it?"
"Shu'er, I don't know either. I once saved a young man, and we experienced some interesting things together. Later, he had to go first for something, and I had to go find a miracle doctor for my mother, so I never saw him again. Maybe I won't have the chance to see him again in this life." Princess Mingyue still felt regretful when recalling these things.
"We will meet if we are destined to do so." Murong Shu believes in fate.
"So what if we meet? Will she definitely be willing to marry into the palace? If that's the case, it's better to just miss her."
Jun Mingyue is fully aware of her responsibilities and obligations, so she does not ask for unforgettable true love, but only asks for mutual respect so that her father and mother can rest assured.
"My father said that he would take me to the list to choose a son-in-law in the early spring of next year. I can pick a good-looking one, hehe." Jun Mingyue changed his previous dejected look. At this moment, he felt more curious about the idea of choosing a son-in-law from the list.
"It turns out that the princess also likes good-looking things!" Murong Shu covered his mouth and laughed secretly. He didn't expect that Princess Mingyue was also a face control.
"Of course, it's pleasing to the eyes and a good companion to meals." Princess Mingyue's words made Murong Shu laugh out loud. The princess was so funny.
"Princess, when you go to choose a son-in-law, can you bring Shu'er with you to watch the fun? Shu'er hasn't been in the capital for so many years and has never seen a son-in-law being chosen from the list." Murong Shu's gossipy heart exploded instantly.
"Okay, I'll let you know in advance then."
After the two of them discussed what to do in the early spring of next year, the princess sent someone to call them to dinner.
Murong Shu was actually joking with Princess Mingyue just now. She had to hurry up and cure the princess. Then maybe Princess Mingyue would have more choices.
Such a bright and kind girl should have someone who cares for her, loves her and understands her, rather than some idea of marrying into the family, inheritance and mutual respect.
Life is so long, and every second with someone you don’t love is probably torture.
