Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei sat down directly beside the princess's bed.
“Princess, although this is our first meeting, there are some things I must make clear to you. Your body is no longer suitable for fasting, nor can you work day and night. If this continues, you will not be able to bear it.”
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei looked at the pale-faced princess.
"Look at you, you just fainted in the hall. You must not hurt yourself anymore. Your intentions are good, but you must take care of yourself first so that you can better pray for the soldiers."
Jiang Yuwei paused for a moment and then continued:
"Now that you have done so well, Buddha will surely grant your wish. But if you continue to disregard your health in the future, even Buddha might be angry."
Jiang Yuwei tucked the blanket around the princess.
"Now that you have established a girls' school, you have benefited many women by helping them learn and resolve their doubts. This is a great act of public virtue. If you collapse because you don't eat meat and don't rest on time, what will become of these women who are waiting for you to enlighten them and change their lives?"
Princess Chang Le gazed at Jiang Yuwei's face in contemplation for a moment, then smiled calmly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Madam Jiang. I was so focused on the war on the border that I couldn't even understand such a simple principle. I'm truly blinded by my own involvement."
Just then, Granny Sun brought the porridge into the room.
"Princess, please get up and try this porridge. It's still warm. Let me feed you."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly moved aside to let Granny Sun sit down.
The princess did not rush to drink the porridge, but instead looked at Jiang Yuwei and said softly:
"I forgot to ask earlier, you and the Princess must have come to see me today, right?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded with a faint smile.
"Actually, my daughter has reached the age, and I have long heard of the princess's great reputation. I wanted the princess to accompany me to send my daughter to the princess for her to see if she could be accepted as a student."
Princess Chang Le smiled faintly upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words.
"So that's how it is. I was just worried about how to repay Madam Jiang for saving my life. I'm sure Madam Jiang's child will be just as good. You should send her to study tomorrow."
Jiang Yuwei was very happy to hear this and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Then I thank you very much, Princess. You need to rest more right now, and you must not overwork yourself in the future."
Princess Chang Le nodded to Jiang Yuwei.
"Okay, I've got it. I won't go out to see you off today. Granny Sun, please see Madam Jiang and the Princess off for me."
Jiang Yuwei nodded. Granny Sun handed the bowl of porridge to a maid beside her and then led Jiang Yuwei out.
The princess and Ning Wan were waiting outside. When they saw Jiang Yuwei come out, they hurriedly went to greet her.
"Yuwei, how is the princess?"
Before Jiang Yuwei could speak, Granny Sun, who was standing to the side, quickly said with a smile:
"Your Highness, we are so grateful to you for bringing Madam Jiang here today. Madam Jiang has already saved the princess. However, the princess is still weak and therefore cannot come out to meet you."
The princess nodded quickly upon hearing this.
"Okay, as long as everyone is alright, that's fine."
Jiang Yuwei took Ning Wan's hand and said to the princess with a smile:
"The princess just promised that Wan'er can come to school tomorrow."
Granny Sun looked down at Ning Wan.
"This young lady is Madam Jiang's daughter. She looks very well-behaved and intelligent. The princess will surely like her."
Jiang Yuwei smiled at Granny Sun.
"Granny Sun, you don't need to go out to see us off. Go back and take care of the princess. We can go out by ourselves. We will send Ning Wan over tomorrow."
The princess nodded to Granny Sun and then instructed Wang Ma to hand over the gift she had prepared to Granny Sun.
"These are Ning Wan's gifts for becoming a disciple. Please accept them on behalf of the princess, Granny Sun."
After accepting the gifts and expressing her gratitude, Granny Sun and the Princess left with Ning Wan and the rest of the group.
After everyone was seated in the carriage, the princess took Jiang Yuwei's hand and asked:
"Just now, I didn't want to ask too many questions while Granny Sun was with me. What exactly is wrong with the princess?"
Jiang Yuwei gave the princess a faint smile.
"Your Highness need not worry. It is not a serious illness. It is just a problem caused by the princess working too hard all day. She will recover after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing this, the princess released Jiang Yuwei's hand and gently patted her chest.
"I was terrified. I thought the princess had some serious illness. What Princess Chang Le is doing now is a great thing. If she were to pass away at such a young age, I would really be afraid that no one would be able to continue running the girls' academy she is in charge of."
Jiang Yuwei turned to look at Ning Wan.
"Wan'er, did you hear what your grandmother just said? From now on, when you come to the girls' academy to study, you should take Princess Chang Le as your role model, learn from her well, and strive to become a useful person like her when you grow up."
Ning Wan nodded earnestly, seemingly understanding but not quite.
The princess smiled when she saw this.
“Our Wan’er will definitely be very capable in the future. Look at your mother, isn’t she an extremely capable woman? I thought it would be quite a hassle to send Wan’er to school today, but I didn’t expect your mother to handle it all by herself. I didn’t need to do anything.”
Ning Wan glanced at the princess, then at Jiang Yuwei, and then smiled sweetly:
"Princess Chang Le is amazing, Grandmother is amazing, my mother is amazing, and Wan'er will be amazing in the future!"
Upon hearing Ning Wan's words, Jiang Yuwei and the princess burst into laughter.
The three of them returned to Prince Jing's residence, chatting and laughing. However, just as Jiang Yuwei helped the princess down from the carriage, they saw Madam Sun running out of the residence in tears.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Seeing her whining and sobbing, the princess frowned and said sternly:
"What happened that made you so flustered and disregard your image? You are, after all, the First Madam of the Prince Jing's Mansion. Aren't you just making a fool of yourself by behaving like this!"
Upon hearing the princess's words, Lady Sun hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. As a result, she ruined all her makeup, making her look like a sour-faced monkey.
The princess couldn't bear to look at her, so she ignored her and walked straight into the mansion.
Upon seeing this, Lady Sun quickly grabbed the princess's arm and cried out:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Chunlin is in trouble! He's your own son! You can't just abandon him!"
Upon hearing Sun's words, the princess frowned. How could Ning Chunlin, that fool who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore, be worthy of being her own son?
Thinking this, the princess turned around and glared fiercely at Madam Sun.
"Let go! Tell me quickly, what happened?"
