Chapter 1610 I'm Sick

Zhulan was also confused. This was a princess, not a prince. It was not easy for a princess to leave the palace, let alone stay there for a short time.

Li, "Could something have happened in the palace?"

Zhulan thought that was not the case. If there was something wrong, the girl would send a message back. "We will know everything when Yudie comes back tomorrow."

Li didn't want to think about it anymore and put away the account book. "Mom, you take a rest first. I'll go back first."

Zhulan nodded, "Okay."

Li left the main courtyard and looked up to see snowflakes floating in the sky. She retracted her neck, worrying about her eldest son who was far away in the grassland. The grassland was bitterly cold in winter, and the living and food were not good. It was difficult for him to get a bite of vegetables.

Li listened to her mother-in-law and dried a lot of vegetables in spring and summer. She sent several batches to the grassland in winter, and the latest batch should have arrived.

As Li estimated, Mingyun received food sent from the capital. There was no shortage of meat on the grassland, but there were various vegetables and fruits. Mingyun lived on the dried vegetables sent from the capital in winter.

He also thought about building a greenhouse on the grassland, but unfortunately there was a shortage of firewood on the grassland in winter, and he had to save charcoal, so where could he find enough charcoal to supply the greenhouse?

Mingyun watched the bags of dried vegetables being carried down, with a smile on his face all the time, especially when he saw a box of tea leaves, Mingyun wanted to carry it himself.

Wu Ming heard the noise and came over. "These are all rare good things from the grassland. Can you share some?"

Mingyun took the list and said, "No need to share, uncle's is here."

Wu Ming took the list and said with a smile, "My godmother is still thinking about me."

Mingyun coughed and said, "Auntie is thinking about you too."

Wu Ming smiled. His wife did miss him, but it didn't seem like it. Apart from the dried vegetables sent to his home at the beginning of winter, he never received any more dried vegetables. He knew that the dried vegetables at the beginning of winter were probably something his godmother reminded him of. His wife's letter showed her concern as always, but he could still sense the complaints.

My wife has to take care of two children, and also manage my wife and illegitimate son, which takes up a lot of her energy.

The last few boxes were covered tightly with quilts. Mingyun looked at the list and his throat moved. There were fruits and fresh vegetables.

A lot of the jelly apples were damaged, but they were still edible. Mingyun distributed them to the servants and guards around him, and also gave some hard-to-freeze pears and persimmons.

Every time something was sent from the capital, not only Mingyun's servants and guards were happy, but also the officials who were familiar with Mingyun were happy.

As soon as the food sent from the capital was stored in the warehouse, colleagues who got the news came over.

Mingyun slowed down the serving of frozen pears and frozen persimmons, "You're welcome."

Mingyun doesn't need to say anything, no one will be polite.

Mingyun's colleague suddenly asked, "Master Zhou, the state capital has been cleared, and we want to bring our families over. We have already found a few houses. Do you want to come with us?"

Mingyun paused while chewing the pear. After a year of careful cleaning, the state capital was indeed safe. Due to its geographical location, it was the largest transit point for merchants and the first state capital to prosper on the grassland. He had never thought of asking his wife to bring the child here. "You guys take care of it."

The people in the room changed the topic of conversation. Wu Ming and others left one after another and asked, "Are you really not going to bring your wife and children over?"

Mingyun shook his head, "Wait a minute, where's uncle?"

Wu Ming smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry either."

Mingyun didn't feel sleepless because he was alone. He had ambitions in his heart. Although he missed his wife and children, he would not disrupt his plans.

The next day, Yudie and her companions had breakfast and went to the Ran Mansion. The steward of the Ran Mansion was waiting at the gate early. Yudie and her companions went to see Qi first, and then went to the courtyard where the princess lived.

Princess Zhenyue was playing chess with herself. When she heard footsteps, she looked up with a smile. Yudie and the others came to greet her. The princess said, "You are here. Come and sit down."

Yuwen was the county magistrate. She spoke first, "We have a chill on our bodies. Let's wait until it dissipates before we go."

Zhenyue signaled the palace maid to put away the chessboard, and told her to bring the snacks. After the tea and refreshments were served, Yudie and the others sat down.

Zhen Yue motioned for the girls to drink tea and explained with a smile, "I know you all well, and I couldn't help but invite you over after leaving the palace. Don't be shy."

Yudie and the others were really informal. The Zhouhou Mansion and the Ran Mansion were related by marriage, so it was natural for them to be respectful to the princess.

Yudie drank her tea and said, "We were very surprised to receive the post. We confirmed with several parties before we believed that you were leaving the palace for a short stay."

Zhen Yue smiled and said, "I was sick a few days ago, and my mother asked my mother for permission before she agreed to let me leave the palace for a short stay."

Yu Wen found that Princess Zhen Yue had indeed lost a lot of weight. The last time she went to the palace to pay a visit to the Queen, Princess Zhen Yue still had some flesh on her cheeks.

Zhenyue would not continue to mention what happened in the palace. She was being plotted against. She was the only princess in the palace and no one dared to touch the legitimate princess, so the plan was set on her. If something happened to her, it would be enough to attract attention, but it would not involve too many people, so she fell ill.

Zhenyue didn't want to recall the past, so she changed the subject, "I can't leave the palace at will even if I stay there for a short time. Can you tell me about the hustle and bustle of the capital?"

Yudie smiled, "Okay."

There was no bustling thing in the capital that she was unaware of, and the topic would inevitably start with Zhuo Guyu from the Yong'an Duke's Mansion.

Zhenyue didn't hear much news in the palace. Apart from paying respects, she was with her mother most of the time. In addition, she didn't like to ask questions, so she knew very little about the Yong'an Mansion in the capital.

Zhenyue, "Duke Yong'an's Mansion?"

Yudie nodded, "Yes, the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, some people in the capital have already opened a betting game, betting that Zhuo Guyu will definitely pass the imperial examination, and some even say that he may even be the third place."

Yuwen, "Gambling?"

Yudie nodded, "Yuanbo did it, ahem, and he also helped me save some money."

Zhenyue was curious, "Who is being pressed?"

Yudie smiled and said, "We beat Master Zhuo to get into the imperial examination, but we can't say for sure whether he will get the third place."

She remembered Mr. Gu, who was as good-looking as Mr. Zhuo, and they even outperformed the other candidates.

Zhenyue thought that the outside of the palace was very interesting. "I."

Forget it. She is a princess, and her every move has a different meaning. If people find out, it might be rumored that she has a crush on Master Zhuo, which will definitely cause trouble. She doesn't want to find a prince consort so early.

There was no need for Yudie to hide it, as she was already engaged, and she and Yuanbo had saved the money together, so she thought it was Yuanbo who saved it himself.

It was no secret that the princess had left the palace for a short stay. The news in the palace was very strict and there was no news at all. On the third day after the princess left the palace, some people began to speculate whether the eldest princess had been abandoned by the emperor.

As a result, the emperor sent Eunuch Zhang to deliver jewelry to the princess, and the rumor disappeared.

On this day, Princess Zhenyue wanted to go shopping, but Zhulan was worried, so she let her and Qi take the girl shopping.

Qi kept her eyes on the princess, and Zhulan whispered, "You're attracting too much attention."

Qi felt sorry for her granddaughter. Ever since she had a legitimate princess, her granddaughter had become more peaceful. Thinking about how her granddaughter had been plotted against this time, she felt filled with hatred.

Qi retracted his gaze, "You are right."

The girls bought a lot of things and were a little tired after shopping for a long time, so they went to a restaurant.
