Chapter 26: Prince Shou's Condition Relieved
Chu Qinshu was taking a bath, so Prince Shou couldn't stay any longer and had to leave the East Palace reluctantly.
After returning home, he called the manager of Jinyulou, a jewelry shop under his name, into his house.
He was asked to design the bunny into twelve different looks, and to create a set of gold, silver, and gold-inlaid jade for each look.
He decided to bring one for Chu Qinshu every time he went to the East Palace. These thirty-six were enough for him to see her thirty-six times.
"My Lord, what good news has happened to you? Why are you making so many gadgets all at once? Are you going to give them away as gifts or as prizes?"
Princess Du Ying of Prince Shou came in from outside the courtyard, her face beaming with smiles.
She spends her days either practicing martial arts or making clothes and socks for Prince Shou. She has the bold and spirited personality of a woman of the underworld, like the daughter of a military family.
But her grandfather was a first-rank official in the Censorate, and her father was a second-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, both of whom were pure civil officials and had nothing to do with military officials.
"I went to the East Palace to visit my brother the Crown Prince today. I didn't expect that his daughter liked me so much that she would not sleep unless I held her in my arms.
Since she likes me so much, I have to show my appreciation, so I prepared those little things for her, and I will give her one every time I go to the East Palace in the future."
King Shou was also very happy.
He is in poor health, so he never wastes his time.
On weekdays, in addition to playing chess and painting to calm himself, he also likes to do business and make money to live a rich life.
But he was only willing to spend his money on people he truly loved.
"Are you telling the truth? Didn't you say you were going to see the Crown Prince? How come you saw the little princess? Is the little princess cute? Does she look like the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince?"
When Du Ying heard that he had seen Chu Qinshu, he hurriedly sat down next to Prince Shou and started asking questions with shining eyes.
When the Eastern Palace gave birth to a girl, she, as the emperor's sister-in-law, naturally had to go and visit.
Unfortunately, on the day she went there, Chu Qinshu had just been taken to Yu's study, and she waited for a long time but didn't see her.
"The Crown Prince said that the little princess liked him so he went to accompany her, but I saw it a long time ago. He just returned to the capital yesterday. He must have been afraid that the little princess would not be close to him, so he deliberately held her to his side..."
Prince Shou told Du Ying all about his experiences in the East Palace without stopping, not even stuttering.
"My Lord, do you feel unwell?"
Du Ying was worried that he might have a last burst of energy and was terrified.
"No?"
Prince Shou was puzzled.
He was fine, why did he become unwell?
Hey, something is wrong. The depression that usually weighs on my chest doesn't feel that heavy anymore.
Moreover, the itchy feeling in my throat no longer occurs from time to time.
This... could it be that he is in a good mood today?
"Shall I take your pulse?"
In order to help Shou Wang take care of his health, Du Ying taught himself medicine, but he only knew pulse diagnosis and some simple medical principles.
She didn't dare to prescribe the prescription, but when Shou Wang was not feeling well, her first aid was quite helpful.
"Come on, help me take a look."
Prince Shou had the same idea and quickly extended his hand to Du Ying.
"Um?……"
It took a whole incense stick of time for Du Ying to sound his pulse, and Shou Wang became a little anxious waiting.
Who doesn't want a healthy body?
In the past thirty years, he has not been to any place except the capital, all because of his poor health and inability to travel far.
"Don't worry, you are in good health. Your pulse is more stable than yesterday, and your internal organs are less severe than yesterday."
Du Ying let go of Prince Shou's wrist, wondering which imperial physician had prescribed the latest medicine and whether he should take it well.
"Really?"
Prince Shou looked incredulous.
He took medicine early this morning and went to the East Palace. He had not yet had lunch when he returned home. He only drank a few cups of ginseng tea in the East Palace.
It can't be that the ginseng tea from the East Palace is better than that from Shouwang Palace, right?
"Well, it seems that you are in a good mood today, and your body is also better. I have told you to keep a happy mood, which is very good for your body."
Seeing that Prince Shou was in good health, Du Ying felt relieved.
She was really scared. A person who was so sick yesterday suddenly became talkative and had a rosy face today. Who wouldn't be scared seeing this?
Unless an elixir is used, it is most likely a last burst of vitality.
However, being in a good mood does help alleviate the condition.
It seems that I have to let him go to the East Palace more often and visit the little princess more often in the future, so that he can stay in a good mood all day long.
"My Lord, please ask the shopkeeper of Jinyulou to come again."
Du Ying said.
"Well, I'm in a good mood today, so it's worth celebrating. Just order as many sets of jewelry as you like."
Prince Shou nodded, called the eunuch and asked him to go to the Jinyu Tower to call someone.
"I am not making jewelry for myself. I also want to order some small items for the little princess. If she likes them, will she be close to us?
Maybe he can even go back to Shouwang Palace with us and stay for a few days."
The more Du Ying thought about it, the happier she became. She even wished that Chu Qinshu would recognize her as her godmother.
If Chu Qinshu wasn't the prince's daughter, she would have tried to adopt her into the Shouwang Palace as her own daughter.
With her as his concubine, are you still afraid that Prince Shou’s illness cannot be cured?
"My beloved concubine is right. I will go to the study. I will design it myself this time."
Prince Shou said this and was about to get up and go to the study.
He felt lighter today, and he had a feeling it was related to Chu Qinshu, but he couldn't figure out what the connection was.
So he secretly wanted to emulate Emperor Yongping and go to the East Palace every other day, thinking that he would always be able to find the reason by hugging her more.
No one in the East Palace knew how the Prince Shou and his wife prepared gifts for Chu Qinshu.
But when Chu Chengyi used Chu Qinshu's bath water to take a bath, he sent everyone out of the bedroom, not even Doctor Cheng.
Chu Qinshu cried when she was taken away. Her father Bao Bao didn't even let anyone take her bath water away.
She cried very sadly, feeling that her bath was in vain.
Chu Chengyi listened to her inner thoughts and felt really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but it was not easy for him to comfort her openly.
He had to ask someone to go to his private warehouse and get a box of rare pink South Pearls to coax her.
Chu Chengyi went into the bathtub with wounds all over his body, and when he came out, his wounds were mostly healed.
If he had not experienced it himself, he would not believe it no matter who told him.
His daughter is either the reincarnation of a deity or has extraordinary abilities.
It seems that just loving her is not enough, she also needs to be hidden and protected.
"Someone, come and comb my hair."
He planned to pack up and go see his daughter right away.
Chu Chengyi, who usually kept to himself in the East Palace, didn't let the eunuchs take care of anything except his hair today for fear of exposing his daughter's abilities.
"Go to Jinseyuan."
Jinseyuan is the courtyard of Yu Jinyi.
Chu Chengyi came out of the bedroom and walked straight outside. Qiu Gu hurriedly followed with a few guards.
Doctor Cheng was completely confused. Is this... this... is this still the Crown Prince who was covered in wounds and couldn't be moved without a stretcher?
Why are you wearing a black scarf on your face?
Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really replaced?
"Your Highness..."
Doctor Cheng called out tentatively.
"What's up?"
Chu Chengyi stopped and asked.
"Nothing... nothing."
The voice is right, and that obviously impatient look couldn't be more real.
Doctor Cheng no longer dared to doubt and quietly stepped aside.
