If anyone else saw this, wouldn't the rumors in the capital spread like wildfire? The palace would definitely be in an uproar!
...
Time passed quickly. Yun Duoduo's foot injury healed, the poison in her body was cleared, and she rested for a few days. She no longer had any excuse or reason to stay in the Prince of Jibei's mansion.
Just then, someone from the palace came to visit her, and she followed this large group of people back to the palace.
After Yun Duoduo left, Jin Jinzhi was unable to recover for a long time. In order to alleviate his emotions, he began to order people to carry out a major renovation of the Jibei Prince's Mansion.
In the past, he lived alone in this mansion. He didn't care much about what the courtyard was like, what the houses were like, what kind of trees were in the courtyard, what flowers bloomed in spring, or what fruits ripened in autumn.
He could survive as long as he had a bed and a desk.
But things are different now; he no longer lives alone in this palace.
If Yun Duoduo comes again in the future, we must make sure she stays comfortably and enjoys her stay.
Therefore, this huge palace needs to be renovated so that it can be worthy of its future master.
“Uncle Fu, the flowers and plants in the Prince’s mansion look too messy. Have someone remove all the unknown flowers and plants in the courtyard.” Jin Jinzhi pointed to the withered plants in the courtyard.
"Replace them with evergreen trees."
[Duoduo wouldn't like a courtyard that becomes desolate in winter.]
He knew that the girl liked bright colors, and there were no bleak colors in the courtyard all year round.
"Then, plant commonly used Chinese medicinal herbs."
Uncle Fu is the steward of the Prince of Jibei's mansion, and he is in charge of all the affairs, big and small, within the mansion.
He looked around in confusion, then glanced at Jin Jinzhi.
The flowers, plants, and trees in this courtyard are neatly trimmed. Although they lack the elegance of the gardens in Jiangning, they are by no means messy.
The prince said that the courtyard was messy and it was a desecration of his hard work.
"Your Highness, is this preparation for entering the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future?"
Uncle Fu didn't understand why Jin Jinzhi suddenly became interested in renovating the courtyard, but he knew that Jin Jinzhi had many business lines and trades, and in addition to his annual salary, the mansion had a lot of other sources of money.
[Growing medicinal herbs in your residence—is this a sign that you intend to control the traditional Chinese medicine business in the future?]
However, their prince had never been involved with Chinese medicinal herbs before, and few people in the manor knew about them. If they were to grow these things, they would have to hire some skilled craftsmen from the capital.
Jin Jinzhi shook her head: "It has nothing to do with those things, it's just that some people like it."
"Do as I say."
Uncle Fu frowned in thought.
[Could it be that the young lady likes it? But back when we were at the Jin residence, Zhuangzhuang mentioned wanting to research herbal medicine, yet the young master never ordered any renovations to be made to the mansion.]
Now, has he come to his senses?
As expected, the prince still dotes on the young lady.
"Also, clean up all the rooms in the mansion and move all the pathogenic energies from various countries that I have collected to the storeroom."
"Also, a plaque needs to be hung in the courtyard." Jin Jinzhi pointed to the rooms in front of her.
The study, bedroom, and living quarters in the Prince of Jibei's mansion are all unnamed. Although there are many rooms, his activities are limited to the front courtyard, so the maids and servants can distinguish them.
But things are different now. If Yun Duoduo comes again, the two of them can't just squeeze into one bedroom again. The rooms need to be cleaned up so they're comfortable. And there should be signs for toilets in each room so the maids and servants can easily distinguish them.
What name should I choose?
Jin Jinzhi stroked his chin in thought, and after a moment said, "My bedroom will be called Muyun Pavilion, and the courtyard will be called Muyun Courtyard."
"Muyun Pavilion?" Jin Jinzhi and Uncle Fu were talking when Military Advisor Cao walked over and overheard their conversation.
He whispered in Jin Jinzhi's ear, "Your Highness, our secret guard assassin organization is called Muyun Pavilion. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Your Highness's bedroom to share the same name as our assassin organization?"
Cao Canjun felt that the name Muyun Pavilion was too bloody and unlucky.
“This Muyun Pavilion is not the same as that Muyun Pavilion,” Jin Jinzhi said, shaking her head.
What does this mean?
Military Advisor Cao murmured to himself, "This Muyun Pavilion is not that Muyun Pavilion..."
“The character ‘慕’ in my bedroom should be the same as the character for ‘admiration’,” Jin Jinzhi said, looking at Uncle Fu.
"Uncle Fu, have someone make the signboard as soon as possible."
Uncle Fu understood: "Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, the South Courtyard has the best lighting, so have people renovate it properly."
“Replace all the bedding inside with new ones, use light pink bed curtains, change the quilts to the same color scheme, and then lay a carpet on the floor.” Jin Jinzhi pondered, feeling as if something was still missing.
"Oh, right, and incense, the kind I use in my bedroom."
These days, Yun Duoduo has been staying in his bedroom, and he can tell that she really likes the scent of incense.
Cao Canjun was filled with doubt.
[In the past, princes were content with just a simple bed board; why have they become so particular about beds now?]
He was very puzzled; the prince seemed to have changed even more recently.
Uncle Fu, who was standing nearby, assumed that the South Courtyard was probably prepared for Jin Zhuangzhuang, so the bedding was changed to light pink.
However, as far as he knew, it seemed that the young lady didn't like pink?
"As for the name..."
After a moment of thought, Jin Jinzhi said, "The bedroom in the South Courtyard will be called Qingduo Pavilion, and the courtyard will be called Xinduo Courtyard."
"ah?!"
Uncle Fu and Military Advisor Cao exclaimed in surprise in unison.
"So, this courtyard isn't for the young lady?"
“Young Miss? You mean Jin Zhuangzhuang? When did I ever say that she was going to live in the courtyard?” Jin Jinzhi frowned as he looked at Uncle Fu.
"Qingduo Pavilion... Xinduo Courtyard..."
The guards and servants ten steps away also heard the name Jin Jinzhi gave to the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
[How did the prince choose such a refined name? It's so gentle and graceful, completely unlike his previous bold and unrestrained nature.]
This name is so sweet it makes people uneasy.
Only Cao Canjun, standing to the side, wore a warm, aunt-like smile.
He understood, he understood everything, and everything that had happened before made sense.
This courtyard was clearly prepared for the Ninth Princess.
It seems that the prince's relationship with the Ninth Princess is truly more than just that of a princess and a courtier.
...
Inside the Nanyang Imperial Palace, as soon as Yun Duoduo returned to Fushuang Palace, she was forced to undergo a professional, comprehensive examination by the imperial physician team.
First, an elderly imperial physician with a white beard massaged her shoulders and ankles to make sure there was nothing wrong with her bones, and then the next imperial physician took over.
Then a middle-aged man began to look at her ears, nose and throat, and pulled at her eyelids several times.
Next, a young imperial physician with very fair skin gently pressed his fingers on her abdomen to examine the organs hidden beneath the skin and fat...?
