Chapter 365 A Letter from the Crown Prince
The letter Xiao Xuance wrote was a family letter, unrelated to matters of state or family; more accurately, it was a love letter.
He said he thought about her day and night, hoping to reunite with her soon, and even asked her if she missed him.
No, not really. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to eat, and I haven't been able to take care of my two sons. I just need to know that he's alright; I haven't had time to think about him at all.
The majority of the page was dedicated to expressing his longing for her, with the questions about his two sons and others only appearing at the very end.
Yun Zhaoxue folded up the content on the right side, which was considered explicit to the children, revealing the last two lines, and spread it out in front of her two sons.
“Your father wrote to ask if you two have been listening to your mother. He said that Da Bao and Er Bao have been very well-behaved lately, right?”
Da Bao nodded in response, making a muffled "hmm" sound.
Erbao was being naughty; after reading the bottom, he wanted to see the top, so he reached out his little hand and lifted it.
The moment he opened it, Yun Zhaoxue quickly moved her hand away to prevent him from seeing. She coughed lightly and said, "The right side is addressed to my mother, and the left side is still for you all."
Erbao pouted, "Look..."
Yun Zhaoxue changed the subject, "Shall we write him a letter now?"
Red Dates and Green Branches found paper and pen, and ground ink.
She wrote down her greetings, as if she were seeing the person in person.
Each stroke is stiff and awkward.
Thinking of her husband's powerful, flowing handwriting.
She wrote a line that she was never satisfied with, but it was the best she could do.
Red Dates and Green Branches glanced at her and thought she had made great progress.
"Your handwriting is getting better and better, Princess."
Hongzao smiled and said, "The princess is intelligent and learns everything quickly, unless she doesn't want to learn."
Green Branch also said, "People say that men become more mature and stable after they get married and have wives and children. I think the same is true for you, Princess. Since you married the Prince, you have changed a lot. You are not like before when you were always taken advantage of and schemed against."
Yun Zhaoxue suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of settling down, you're both seventeen or eighteen this year, it's time to settle down. Do you have someone you like?"
"This servant does not want to leave the princess. This servant wants to serve the princess for the rest of her life and help you take care of the two young masters."
"You silly girl, even after you get married you can stay by my side or come back to see me occasionally. If you don't have someone you like, just tell me and I'll find someone for you."
The two hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads.
"No, that's true. You stay at home all day and rarely come into contact with outsiders. In the future, I'll take you out more often. If you see someone you like, let me know and I'll try my best to match you up."
"Thank you, Princess, but I have no intention of getting married. I am content as long as I can serve by your side."
Yun Zhaoxue observed their expressions, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, she changed the subject, "Zhu Feng and Zhui Ying are getting on in years, aren't they? I wonder what kind of girls they like. I'll ask them another day and introduce them to a few. If they don't get married soon, they'll become old bachelors and no one will want them."
Hongzao hurriedly said, "Princess, they are only twenty-five years old, not old at all."
Yun Zhaoxue said, "Twenty-five. In two more years, I'll be thirty. Many people at this age are already grandparents. If I delay any longer, what girl will be willing to marry an old man?"
She has a boyfriend and a son, so she can't stand seeing other people single and always tries to match them up.
She knew that Zhu Feng and Zhui Ying had been injured in the fight a few days ago, and the two girls had taken good care of them, bandaging them and applying medicine.
Looking back, Hongzao and Lüzhi's eyes would always glance at Zhufeng and Zhuiying intentionally or unintentionally. When they saw them, they would lower their eyes and their faces would have an unnatural blush.
What else could this be but liking?
She suspected that it was those two blockheads, Zhu Feng and Zhui Ying, who were simply clueless.
Her two maids are in unrequited love.
If no one breaks the silence, it will drag on for ages.
“Princess, I once heard them say that they didn’t want to get married. They wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and follow the prince to reclaim lost territory. They didn’t want to hold others back because swords and spears are indiscriminate on the battlefield.”
"So what are your thoughts?"
Red Date said, "This servant feels that things are fine as they are now."
Seeing each other every day makes me feel content.
"Everyone dies. You never know whether an accident or tomorrow will come first. If you like someone, go for it. If you love someone, be together. Maybe they won't die. Who can predict the future?"
"If, and I mean if, I become a widow someday, I can still remarry. How can that be considered a delay? I can spend my life with the person I love without any regrets."
Yun Zhaoxue didn't pressure them. She explained the reasons to them and left it to them to figure it out.
If neither side takes the initiative, relying solely on a middleman to act as a matchmaker is useless.
She wrote the letter and sent the beeswax to Hongzao, who then had Zhufeng deliver it to Xiao Xuance via his secret guards.
