The weather in late spring was warm and gentle. The sun shone through the clouds and fell on the girl's fair face, making her look well-behaved and sweet.
Grandma Gao has been with Yu Tanqi these days and knows clearly that she is a weak and kind girl who is lovable.
"I know Miss Yu's feelings for the prince, but the prince certainly doesn't want her to set foot in a gloomy place like the Dali Temple. If she goes there, he will definitely be very distressed.
Miss, be obedient and take good care of yourself in the Marquis' Mansion. The prince will definitely return safely."
She lowered her voice and coaxed Yu Tanqi as if she was coaxing a child.
Yu Tanqi was too embarrassed to insist on going to the Dali Temple to see Jiang Shi, so she could only hesitantly say, "Then Madam Gao, please help me deliver the gift to the prince."
She thought about it carefully. She and the original owner didn't know how to sew, so it would be wrong to give something like clothes they made themselves. They also couldn't cook, so it seemed impossible to give something they made themselves.
She racked her brains and finally decided to give clothes and food she had chosen, as well as two books.
Although the item was not made by myself, it was bought with my own money, so it is very thoughtful.
The next day, Grandma Gao took the things that Yu Tanqi wanted to give to Jiang Shi to the Dali Temple.
Logically speaking, Jiang Shi was suspected of treason and no one was allowed to visit him, but Dali Temple Minister Du Boling did not stop others from visiting him.
Grandma Gao soon met Jiang Shi.
Seeing the prince she had watched grow up in a dark and damp prison, Nanny Gao's eyes turned red and she felt very distressed. "Prince, you have suffered."
Jiang Shi smiled and reassured her, "The people from the Dali Temple didn't do anything to me, Ma'am, don't worry too much."
Grandma Gao placed the bundle and food box on the table. "These are the clothes and food that Miss Yu asked me to bring to the prince. The food is hot, so the prince should eat it while it's hot."
As she spoke, she had already opened the food box, revealing steaming hot food and hot soup.
"The dishes that Miss Yu sent are all the prince's favorites."
Jiang Shi's eyes fell on the food and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He asked gently, "Is Doctor Xu back?"
Grandma Gao knew what he wanted to hear. "Doctor Xu came back yesterday. He took Miss Yu's pulse and prescribed some medicine. He said she had a congenital deficiency and told her to take it on time every day. He also told her to eat less sweets because she had a weak spleen."
"Did she take the medicine on time?" He knew that she didn't like taking medicine. When she was still in the Xie family in Chenjun, she often complained to him that the medicine was bitter and she didn't want to take it.
"I'm watching her. Although Miss Yu is a little spoiled, she's very well-behaved and takes her medicine on time every day. But after taking the medicine, she frowns and asks pitifully if she can have a little sweetness, saying that her tongue is numb from the bitterness."
When Grandma Gao thought of the way Yu Tanqi acted coquettishly towards her, she couldn't help but smile, with a kind smile on her face.
When people get old, they just like beautiful and cute children. Just looking at them makes their hearts soften.
Jiang Shi could also imagine Yu Tanqi's cute look with a frown on her face, but it was a pity that he couldn't see it with his own eyes.
He asked again: "Did Madam give her food?"
Grandma Gao shook her head: "Of course not. If there is one, there will be two. I dare not agree to Miss Yu. I will not let Miss Yu eat sweets for the time being, and it is also for her health."
Jiang Shi said, "During my absence, please ask Madam to take good care of Tan Qi. She is weak, so please have Doctor Xu check her pulse every day and make sure she recovers as soon as possible."
The only thing he was worried about was Yu Tanqi.
Grandma Gao nodded and said, "I understand. Please eat quickly, my lord. The food will become unpalatable if it gets cold."
…
At the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, not long after Nanny Gao left, people from the Jiang family came to the gate and tried to break in.
Two doormen stood in front of the locked door and refused to move.
Chen and Qin glared at the two servants. Chen angrily scolded, "You little bastards! How dare you stop us? What did Jiang Shi teach you every day?"
One of the servants said, "The prince said that Miss Yu is not feeling well and needs to rest. The mansion will not be receiving guests during this period."
Qin shouted, "Jiang Shi and I are family, and she, Yu Tanqi, is the guest. How can Jiang Shi stop his family from entering the house? It's totally unreasonable! Hurry and open the door! While Jiang Shi is away, we have to help him keep an eye on the mansion, lest an outsider take over!"
A crowd gradually gathered on the street, watching the farce with wide eyes and excitement.
Relying on the power of numbers, Jiang Yongcun directly raised his foot and tried to kick the man, "You little slave, why don't you open the door quickly? My mother is Jiang Shi's third aunt. If you stop us outside the Marquis' Mansion, how will others see Jiang Shi? Do you want your master to die faster?"
The doorman easily dodged his fierce but powerless kick, still refusing to retreat. "I am a servant of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, and I only obey the orders of the prince. Please leave immediately and don't disturb the peace of the mansion and make others laugh at you."
They had long been annoyed with this family who came to their door from time to time to ask for money. Now that the prince had finally ordered them not to indulge the Jiang family anymore, they naturally would not be polite to them anymore.
Jiang Yongcun didn't hit anyone with his kick and almost fell flat on his face. He was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them at the doorman.
The onlookers were stunned, pointing and talking while eating melon seeds and peanuts.
"We both have the surname Jiang, so why doesn't this Jiang Yongcun have any of the demeanor and bearing of Crown Prince Jiang?"
"Prince Jiang is in trouble, but instead of being concerned about him, these two families can't wait to come to his house. Tsk tsk, everyone knows what they're thinking."
"But why hasn't Prince Jiang's fiancée come out yet? There was such a loud commotion at the Marquis's mansion door, didn't she hear it?"
Yu Tanqi didn't hear it. She and Xie Jing were following Xu Mubai in his medicine garden to learn about medicinal herbs.
Traditional Chinese medicine culture is profound and extensive. An inconspicuous grass may very well be a kind of Chinese medicine with a very nice name. Yu Tanqi is very interested in these.
Xu Mubai didn't want Yu Tanqi and Xie Jing to follow him, thinking that she was just in a whim and would chatter and be annoying like other little girls. However, he never expected that she stood obediently by the side, not disturbing him, but talking to Xie Jing in a low voice.
"Cousin Jing, do you know what Chinese medicine this is?" She asked in a low voice, pointing to a plant with wrinkled leaves.
Xie Jing looked over and frowned slightly: "I don't know."
He read a lot of books, but no medical books, after all, he was not a medical student.
Yu Tanqi's eyebrows curved: "Let me tell you, it's called Snow Primrose, it's a nice name, isn't it?"
Xu Mubai looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she actually knew the name of this grass.
Xie Jing was also surprised and asked, "How do you know its name?"
Yu Tanqi smiled, but of course he wouldn't say that he knew about Saussurea ovata because he had watched a TV series.
"Long-term illness makes one a doctor. After taking a lot of Chinese medicine, I read some medical books and learned the names of some herbs."
Xie Jing pursed his lips slightly, looking at the girl's pale lips, feeling extremely distressed.
