Chapter 125 Ye Jinshu's Farewell
Weiyang Palace.
Ye Jinshu was wearing a moon-white brocade robe. The dark patterns embroidered on the hem appeared and disappeared as he moved, adding a touch of elegance.
He wore a white jade hair crown on his head, which held his long hair up high, highlighting his youthful and heroic appearance.
He stood tall in the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, it will be the Grand Protector's birthday soon. Concubine Shen specifically asked me to bring birthday gifts to celebrate his birthday. I am now preparing to return tomorrow, and I have come here today to bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Quan Minghe didn't show much concern on his face, he just said calmly: "I agree."
He had always felt uncomfortable because of the past events between Ye Jinshu and Shen Yuning, and even regretted calling Ye Jinshu back to Beijing.
Now that he has taken the initiative to leave, Quan Minghe will naturally not stop him.
As he was speaking, Quan Minghe seemed to suddenly remember something, and his hand, which was originally writing and reviewing the memorials, paused slightly.
Then he raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Ye Jinshu.
"What is the birthday gift that Concubine Shen gave to the Grand Protector?"
"Your Majesty, this is a sachet embroidered by Concubine Shen herself." Ye Jinshu reported truthfully.
Quan Minghe's eyes flickered slightly.
Did I misunderstand her before?
Is that sachet a birthday gift for Shen Yuan?
The corners of Quan Minghe's mouth curled up slightly, obviously happy.
But he said jokingly, “Jieyu Shen’s embroidery skills are not that good, but the Grand Protector doesn’t mind.”
Ye Jinshu explained, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Shen Jie... Miss Shen sends a sachet to Daduhu as a birthday gift every year. Miss Shen has always loved flowers and spices, so the flavor of the sachet is different every year."
"I think Concubine Shen knows that the Grand Protector likes it, so she wants to do her best to show her appreciation even though her embroidery skills are not very good."
Quan Minghe and Ye Jinshu knew Shen Yuning's true identity.
Quan Minghe didn't care about these. He only cared that Shen Yuning's sachet was given to Shen Yuan, not Ye Jinshu.
The resentment in my heart was alleviated a lot, and my mood became happier.
"Li Ming, since it is the Grand Protector's birthday, I should naturally prepare a gift. I will ask Ye Qing to take it to the Grand Protector."
Quan Minghe looked at Li Ming beside him and gave instructions.
"Yes." Li Ming responded.
Ye Jinshu bowed and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of my uncle."
Suddenly, Ye Jinshu changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I have another request, I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
"You can say whatever you want, Ye Qing."
"Concubine Shen is my uncle's daughter who has been living abroad. This time when I came to Beijing, my uncle and aunt specially prepared a very generous dowry for Concubine Shen."
"When Concubine Shen married into the palace, I was also on the battlefield, and I never prepared a dowry for her. I feel guilty. Now that I am about to leave, I want to personally send the dowry that my uncle and I prepared to Yaohua Palace, so that Concubine Shen can know the family's feelings."
Quan Minghe's heart knot has been untied at this moment, and he feels that he was worrying too much before.
The only bond between these two people is the affection they had for growing up together.
Besides, Ye Jinshu's behavior as a family brother did not seem to be inappropriate, so Quan Minghe naturally would not have any doubts.
"Since Ye Qing is leaving Ganjing, it is reasonable for Concubine Shen to use this opportunity to relieve her pain of missing her family."
“Li Ming, you arrange for the palace servants to personally take Ye Qing to Yaohua Palace to meet Concubine Shen.”
Quan Minghe became much more friendly when speaking to Ye Jinshu.
Ye Jinshu bowed again and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
After saying this, he turned around and followed the palace servants towards the direction of Yaohua Palace.
Yaohua Palace was not far from Weiyang Palace. Ye Jinshu followed the palace maids and soon entered the gate of Yaohua Palace.
He raised his eyes and looked around, taking in the palace carefully.
The palace was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and exuded an air of luxury everywhere.
Xitong saw Ye Jinshu coming from afar and hurried to meet him.
The maid who led Ye Jinshu over said, "Aunt Xitong, General Ye came here to say goodbye to Concubine Shen. He has already asked His Majesty for permission and has received permission."
Xitong nodded and said politely, "General Ye, the queen is watering the flowers in the greenhouse right now. I will take you there right away."
After saying that, she led the way in front, and Ye Jinshu followed behind her.
As soon as he entered the greenhouse, Ye Jinshu saw Shen Yuning sitting on a round stool inlaid with red gold enamel and gems, watering the flowers carefully in the corner.
Xitong was tactful and did not follow him in, but stood outside the greenhouse door.
Shen Yuning was wearing a blue-purple tube top dress today. The color of the dress was like the deep night sky, mysterious and elegant. She was also wearing a silk coat of the same color on the outside.
The action keys add a touch of grace.
She was watering the plants and when she heard some noise she subconsciously turned around to look.
When he saw that it was Ye Jinshu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Ye Jinshu walked up to her and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Shen Yuning stood up and put down the kettle: "No need to be polite, you... why are you here?"
"I will be leaving for the northwest tomorrow, so I came here today to say goodbye to Your Majesty."
Shen Yuning couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly, with reluctance in her eyes, but with thousands of words on her lips, she could only utter two words with difficulty: "Take care."
Ye Jinshu was silent for a moment, then took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Shen Yuning.
Shen Yuning took it and slowly flipped through the booklet. Ye Jinshu said, "This booklet records the details of most of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital."
"Among them, the Imperial Physician Zhou Qi is the apprentice of Su Heling of Derentang. Although he is still young, he has superb medical skills and is trustworthy."
It was Su Heling who helped Shen Yuning fake her amnesia. Since he was his apprentice, he was naturally trustworthy.
She focused her eyes on the book and whispered, "Ye Jinshu, do I owe you too much?"
Her voice was very small, almost as soft as a mosquito's. Her hands unconsciously clenched the booklet, and she was a little at a loss.
Ye Jinshu never felt that she owed him anything, she just felt that he didn't give her enough.
"It was because I failed to marry you back home sooner that you came to Qianjing and suffered many grievances. I only hope that you can live in peace and safety in the harem in the future."
Tears were already glistening in Shen Yuning's eyes. She pursed her lips, afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not be able to stop sobbing and tears would burst out.
Ye Jinshu's heart felt sad and aching.
"You are in the harem, and you have to spend a lot of money. The loyalty of the servants often depends on how generous the master is. It's okay to give them more rewards on weekdays."
"I have prepared more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver for you, and someone will deliver them in a little while. If you find that it is still not enough, send someone to deliver a letter to me, and don't let yourself down."
