Xinyan and Bisi knew Lu Tianyun's thoughts very well. They had just suspected that King Qin had a close relationship with Hua Fushu, but when they saw that she was doing this for Lu Tianyun, they were slightly moved and no longer had any doubts.
Hua Fushu was delighted. The two of them worked together to fool Xinyan. She deliberately glared at Sanqiao for this. The only people who knew that Qin Youran was her senior brother were Ye Zelin, Side, Lu Tianyun and Bisi.
Arriving at Youlan Pavilion, he saw the lotus canopy in the courtyard, the lotus blossoms in full bloom, the fragrance was elegant, and a fairy girl in a Xiang-colored orchid and butterfly patterned skirt came slowly towards him. He was overjoyed, "You're here! I thought you weren't coming."
Hua Fushu took the gift box from Sanqiao's hand and handed it to Lu Tianyun, "This is a little gift from me."
"It would be great if you just came. Why do you need to prepare gifts?" Lu Tianyun said in a reproachful tone and accepted the gift with a smile on his face.
Bisi took the gift, and Lu Tianyun hurriedly invited Hua Fushu into the house. He also called Xinyan to serve tea and Bisi to prepare pastries.
The two maids retreated, and Sanqiao knelt behind Hua Fushu. Hua Fushu didn't dare to be too casual, so she also knelt. She said, "I just met the princess and wasted some time. Tianyun, please don't blame me."
"The eldest princess?" Lu Tianyun was slightly startled, then understood. "It must be the princess the Empress Dowager is expecting. The eldest princess gets along well with my aunt, and my third brother is my aunt's biological son, so he has a good relationship with my third brother. My father didn't let me get involved in my third brother's marriage, so I wouldn't have known the princess was coming if you hadn't told me."
Hua Fushu knew that the third son of the Lu family and Lu Tianyun were born from the same mother, so he asked, "Why don't you go meet your princess cousin?"
Lu Tianyun was a little annoyed: "Even if I wanted to see my cousin Princess, she wouldn't see me. Why should I hang around her? It's better to be with you."
Hua Fushu secretly speculated that it seemed that Lu Tianyun and the princess didn't have a good relationship, so he changed the subject: "Why did you invite my senior brother here without telling me?"
Lu Tianyun was surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin really came. Did you see him?"
Hua Fushu nodded: "He laughed at my joke, and you didn't tell me either."
Lu Tianyun said sincerely, "Fushu, I'm sorry, I thought His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin wouldn't come."
Hua Fushu had no intention of accusing him: "I was just joking, don't take it to heart. I wanted to invite my senior brother to your place for a cup of tea, but he refused, and I couldn't force him."
Lu Tianyun didn't know that Hua Fushu wanted to create an opportunity for her and Qin Youran. She thought she just wanted to talk to her senior brother. When she heard her say that Qin Youran refused, she was fine.
Instead of feeling lost, he was somewhat relieved that Qin Youran did not agree.
There are already many things going on when the Prince of Qin returns to the capital. If she has too close contact with him, people with ulterior motives will think that the Prince of Qin is deliberately getting close to the Lu family and is suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. Moreover, her father has clearly stated that she cannot have frequent contact with the Prince of Qin. Even if she loves him, she has to consider the overall situation.
If she was destined not to be with the King of Qin in this life, then she was willing to watch him silently, protect him, and repay his kindness to her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hua Fushu went back to the previous topic: "Tell me, why did you think of inviting my senior brother? Do you have other thoughts? Don't hide it from me. Maybe I can help you. I'd be happy to have you as my senior sister-in-law."
As he spoke, he gave a wicked smile.
Lu Tianyun blushed, and looked at Hua Fushu with those delicate almond-shaped eyes: "Fushu."
Seeing her coy, Hua Fushu stopped talking about Qin Youran. She surveyed the room, which was divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by a twelve-panel screen depicting a landscape. Each panel had a different pattern, the unique painting technique and style evidently from a renowned artist. Seal script was engraved on the edges, but since she didn't know much about seal script, she could only discern a few characters.
She was in the outer room, and the inner room was where Lu Tianyun slept. There was a phoenix-head guzheng not far away. She had heard that Lu Tianyun was good at guzheng, but she had never heard Lu Tianyun's guzheng music. She had to find a time to let Lu Tianyun play a song for her. She made up her mind.
The two chatted for a while, and then Bisi and Xinyan brought some tea and snacks.
Hua Fushu drank tea and ate something. With the addition of Bisi and Xinyan, the atmosphere was quickly livened up by her.
Sanqiao listened to Hua Fushu's every word. Her daughter was lively by nature. As long as she started talking to people, no matter how quiet the atmosphere was, she could liven it up.
This was the first time Xinyan saw Hua Fushu, and she had not expected that Lu Tianyun's new friend was so eloquent. No wonder he had embarrassed the girl from the Yan family.
A few people chatted and laughed, and half an hour passed quickly.
Hua Fushu loved the hustle and bustle and asked to watch the ceremony. Lu Tianyun took her and Sanqiao out of the Youlan Pavilion and walked towards the lobby.
Before she reached the main hall, she saw Yunchu, a maid from Madam Huaping's courtyard, hurrying by with a worried look on her face. Fearing something might have happened, she stopped Yunchu and said, "Yunchu, you're so anxious. What happened to Mother?"
Na Yunchu knew that Lu Tianyun was the apple of her master's eye. Even though her mistress, Madam Huaping, didn't like this girl very much, she still told him the truth: "Miss Yun, our mistress has been suffering from abdominal pain. The auspicious time is approaching, and she asked me to invite Doctor Liu to come to the house."
"You go quickly, I'll go see my mother first." Lu Tianyun said.
Yun Chu was about to start walking when Hua Fushu stopped her, "Wait, young lady, you'd better not go and ask for Doctor Liu. I heard from my uncle that Princess Anguo has been ill recently, and Doctor Liu has been coming to the Princess's residence every day. I'm afraid Doctor Liu is there right now, and it would take quite a while for you to go back and forth. I have some knowledge of medicine, so why don't you let me take a look at your wife? I can treat common minor illnesses."
"This..." Yun Chu hesitated, obviously not believing it.
"Fushu, you?" Lu Tianyun was quite surprised.
However, Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Tianyun, take me there."
Sanqiao saw that Lu Tianyun and Yun Churen had doubts and wanted to say something, but when she remembered Hua Fushu's warning, she swallowed the words back.
Looking at Hua Fushu, she saw a confident smile on her clean face. Perhaps because of their friendship, Lu Tianyun couldn't help but take them to Madam Huaping's yard.
Yun, the maidservant beside Madam Huaping, was Yun Chu's aunt. When she saw Lu Tianyun and others coming in but no doctor was there, she hurriedly questioned Yun Chu.
Yun Chu was about to let go, but Lu Tianyun said, "Don't worry, Madam Yun. I've called the doctor."
Mother Yun looked around but didn't see anyone. At this time, Hua Fushu said, "Mother Yun, don't look anymore. The doctor is here."
Mother Yun asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Hua Fushu wanted to explain, but because he was concerned about the patient, he said, "Let me see your wife first. We'll talk later if there's anything."
"This?" Yun's mother's questioning expression was exactly the same as Yun Chu's.
