Chapter 159 Smart Fushou
Fushou understood what Zhao Lingmeng said and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, sister. Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble."
"Wow, Princess Fushou is calling me Imperial Sister! I'm so lucky." Zhao Ling dreamed that Fushou was also smart, so he laughed exaggeratedly on purpose.
"I'm the lucky one! I have so many brothers and sisters, but you're the only one who truly feels like a sister to me. You and Mother are the only ones who truly worry about whether I'm doing well!"
Fushou was actually very smart since she was young. Growing up in the imperial palace, she was also able to accurately perceive other people's emotions. It is said that too much wisdom can lead to harm. Fushou had been thinking too much since she was young, which was why she was in poor health. But after getting married, her health improved a lot.
"No, I was just saying it casually. Don't flatter me." Zhao Lingmeng was a little uncomfortable with this kind of sentimentality, even though she was quite happy. After all, no one wants to do a good deed and have no one appreciate it. We are not saints. But Zhao Lingmeng still spoke arrogantly.
"You're just saying one thing and thinking another." Before Fushou met Zhao Lingmeng, she'd wondered why someone so capable could be so deeply hurt by a man. Now that she'd known her for so long, she realized that Funing was genuinely sincere.
She had only shown a little kindness at the banquet, but she was afraid that she would suffer and die on the way to the marriage.
"Hmph." Zhao Lingmeng would never admit it anyway.
The two of them ate and chatted, and in the afternoon, they even accompanied Zhao Houyang to harvest vegetables. Fushou had never known how her vegetables grew, and she didn't mind the dirt; she happily picked and chose from them. Zhao Houyang was also unusually generous, letting Fushou pick a lot of vegetables from his vegetable patch.
He liked this aunt very much. Every time she came, his mother was very happy and would chat with her for a long time, so he was willing to give her the vegetables he grew.
Fushou looked at the cute little Zhao Houyang and liked him very much, "It would be great if I could have a daughter."
"Stop. You've said it so many times. If you say it too many times, the child will take it seriously. What if your daughter grows up and falls in love with someone? Are you going to break them up?"
Zhao Lingmeng interrupted Fushou helplessly. There were too many changes in the future, and she had no plans to arrange a marriage for Zhao Houyang.
"Then when I have a daughter in the future, and they love each other, you can't regret it." Fushou really wanted to choose a good family for her future daughter, and she felt that Zhao Houyang was the best candidate. If someone as good as Funing became a mother-in-law, she would definitely be the best mother-in-law in the world, not to mention her daughter.
"Okay, I have no objection if they like each other." Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about this. As long as her son liked her, it was fine.
"Are you two going to ask for my opinion?" Zhao Houyang heard that his mother and aunt were about to finalize his marriage, and immediately announced his presence. He had a wife in his previous life, and he still hadn't thought it through.
Fushou looked at the two-year-old kid and said he would consider his idea. Fushou just thought he was adorable. He reached out and pinched his face, "Okay, I'll listen to our Yang'er."
Zhao Houyang could tell at a glance that his aunt was just trying to fool him, but he didn't mind it. Children had no say anyway, so as long as nothing was decided, it was fine.
But Zhao Lingmeng didn't know at this moment that Fushou's words about not implicating her really meant that he didn't implicate her.
A few days later, Zhao Lingmeng heard that Fushou came to the palace to stay for a few days, and then for some unknown reason, he had an argument with Princess Huaishu, and Princess Huaishu accidentally pushed her into the lotus pond.
Although the servants around her rescued her immediately, she caught a cold that night and kept coughing. It was not until the Nangan delegation arrived in Yuanjing that she returned to the princess's mansion to recuperate.
Zhao Lingmeng went to see Fushou in a low-key manner at this time. Since everyone else was there, it would be a bit unusual for her not to go since she had such a good relationship with Fushou. So as soon as Fushou left the palace, she went straight to the Princess Fushou's residence with some precious medicinal herbs.
Zhao Ling dreamed of Fu Shou's Princess Mansion and saw Fu Shou's life. "You're living a good life! Enjoying fruits and snacks, and watching beautiful dances."
"I am now recuperating from my illness according to the imperial order." Fushou said as he coughed a few times with his handkerchief.
"Are you seriously ill?" Zhao Lingmeng looked at Fushou's condition and he didn't seem to be pretending to be sick.
Fushou drank the hot tea handed to him, and finally suppressed the itch in his throat. He calmly ordered the attendants, "All of you go down! I want to chat with Princess Funing."
The servants around Funing heard the princess's order and left immediately. They also knew that their princess and Princess Funing had a good relationship.
"Sit down! I knew you would come to see me."
Zhao Lingmeng frowned in confusion as she looked at Fushou, who looked thinner after not seeing her for a few days. She then hesitantly sat down next to her.
"Are you really sick?"
Funing nodded. "It's not that I had to trick Huaishu. We are both princesses, and I didn't mean to kick someone when he was down. I originally planned to let my third brother take the blame when I returned to the palace, but Huaishu was so afraid of getting married that she couldn't wait to make trouble for me, so I just went along with it."
"I thought you were pretending to be sick." Zhao Lingmeng could only sigh helplessly.
"Those imperial doctors in the palace are not pushovers. Pretending is the easiest way to cause problems. And suddenly falling ill at this time is so suspicious."
Zhao Lingmeng gave her a "you're awesome" gesture, admitting that Funing had been incredibly thorough this time. She wouldn't have imagined such meticulousness. Those who had come through the palace were truly formidable. This also reminded Zhao Lingmeng not to underestimate anyone who had come out of the palace.
"Does the Queen know your plan?" Zhao Lingmeng was curious whether this was the Queen's idea or Funing's own idea.
"My Queen Mother doesn't know! If she knew, she would probably think the same as you! But fake is fake, if it is exposed, it will backfire."
Zhao Lingmeng could only give Fushou another "you're awesome" gesture, but still worriedly asked, "Can your body handle it?"
"Don't worry, I haven't been sick for a while. I'm still in good health, but it's a little difficult for me to maintain a state where my illness doesn't get better or worse. But my good husband will be back in a few days, so let him worry about everything then!"
After hearing what Fushou said, Zhao Lingmeng felt relieved. She was really worried about Fushou. She was probably her only friend in this era!
