Chapter 366 The Crybaby Tenth Prince
After resting for a day, Daiyu carefully recalled what she had seen and heard along the way, and recorded what she had seen and heard. She planned to compile it into a book and take it back to her father when she went on her southern tour.
The next morning, Daiyu went to the palace to express her gratitude. When she returned, she found that there was another person by Yuan Mama's side, who seemed to have replaced Xiangtao.
Daiyu thought the woman looked familiar, and when the woman got closer, she suddenly realized, "Isn't this Yinduo!"
Previously, when she was on the grassland, she dressed in the attire of a grassland woman, and even her skin was dyed yellow with herbs.
However, this woman's skin, though not fair, was a very healthy and natural wheat color, much like Lan Su's. But Yin Duo's temperament was very gentle, unlike Lan Su, whose brows exuded a spirited and heroic air.
Daiyu didn't recognize him at first.
Recognizing that it was Yin Duo, she thought of her promise to Yin Duo, so it was only natural that Yin Duo was at the Lin family's house and by Yuan Mama's side.
"Sister Yinduo, have you finished everything?"
While on the grassland, they made a promise to come to the capital after Yinduo found her mother's remains.
Unexpectedly, they had just returned the day before yesterday, and Yinduo arrived in the capital today.
“Greetings, Princess Lin. On the day you returned to the capital, the Second Prince led me to my mother’s remains. Second Master Liu left some people for me, and they helped me bring my mother back to the capital and found a new place for her burial.”
Although the Liu family was grateful for her care of Liu Zhentao on the grasslands over the years, and Madam Liu even wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter, she refused.
The Liu family helped her bury her mother, and in her heart, her connection with the Liu family and her affection for Liu Zhentao came to an end.
After that, she was finally able to take control of her own life. She wanted to learn from Mr. Yuan and to understand what kind of woman her mother was before she went to the grasslands.
Chen Yinduo has never forgotten what her mother taught her during the years she was alive.
My mother said that Beijing is a very beautiful place, and that she must go back to Beijing to see it when she grows up.
Now that she's here, she'll be living with Mr. Yuan in the city where her mother once lived, and learning the culture her mother once studied.
She arrived at the Lin family home early in the morning, and Yuan Hongqu was quite surprised by her arrival.
However, since the entire study tour group returned to Beijing safely and the group has been disbanded, she, as the dean of the academy, doesn't have any important work to do for the time being.
According to her plan, she had already arranged for Yin Duo's accommodations yesterday.
Yin Duo will temporarily reside at the Lin family's residence. Once the academy reopens, she can choose to live there if she wishes, or she can stay with Yuan Hongqu at the Lin family's residence or go to Yuan Hongqu's official residence if she doesn't want to live there.
Seeing how urgent the time was, and that Mr. Yuan had already prepared accommodations for her, Yin Duo, who had been feeling a little uneasy, suddenly felt a sense of belonging.
Yin Duo didn't know why Mr. Yuan valued her so much and wanted to bring her from the grasslands to the capital, but she knew that following Mr. Yuan from now on would definitely be the right thing to do!
She imitated the maid beside her and bowed to Daiyu, but Daiyu grabbed her hand.
“We’re good friends, so don’t be so formal with me. We’re the same people here as we are on the grasslands.”
“Even if we are friends, according to the customs of the capital, I should still bow to you. If you excuse me from this, others will follow suit, and I'm afraid they will also disrespect you, which would be bad.” Yin Duo spoke directly, without any beating around the bush.
Her directness is different from Liu Qianrou's.
Liu Qianrou's directness often hurts people without her realizing it, while Yin Duo puts other people's feelings first. Although her words are direct, people feel that she is genuinely thinking of them.
“Sister Yinduo, it’s fine to be casual in front of outsiders, but it’s okay to be more casual at home,” Daiyu said earnestly, holding her hand.
At this moment, Yuan Hongqu walked over, accompanied by Granny Fang, who was in charge of the embroidery workshop in the mansion.
"Yinduo, go inside and choose fabrics and patterns. Granny Fang will take your measurements and make several sets of clothes. Also, go to the embroidery room and choose a few suitable ready-made clothes to wear for the next few days."
The original Hongqu and the Lin family said that Yinduo was a good friend of the princess and would go to the academy to study and work in the future. In the mansion, she would be treated as a child who had come to rely on an old friend and should be taken good care of.
The servants of the Lin family have never had the habit of flattering the powerful and belittling the weak. This is the first time that a relative who has been staying at the manor for a long time has come. She and the young lady get along very well, so they all treat Yinduo as an honored guest.
Yinduo nodded and followed Granny Fang to choose fabrics and other items.
In the courtyard, Yuan Hongqu couldn't help but tease Daiyu.
"You're back quite quickly. This morning you were unhappy and complaining that you might not be back until tonight. How come the Empress let you leave the palace so easily this time?"
"My senior sister wanted me to have lunch with her, but the Tenth Prince went and said he cried half a vat of tears in front of the Emperor. The Emperor couldn't handle it and sent someone to ask my senior sister to help persuade the Tenth Prince."
Daiyu clutched her handkerchief, but still couldn't help but laugh.
She originally wanted to go and see what was going on, to embarrass the Tenth Prince.
However, my senior sister said that the Tenth Prince is thin-skinned and will definitely stop crying when he sees her, but afterwards he will "flood the Imperial Study".
Yuan Hongqu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as she had not expected that the Tenth Prince had developed this ailment.
Their Daiyu finally overcame her tendency to cry in this life, so she mustn't have too much contact with the Tenth Prince, lest she catch the habit again.
A sense of crisis rose in Yuan Hongqu's heart, so she deliberately spoke with caution.
“A real man shouldn’t be crying like that. Daiyu, we shouldn’t have too much contact with him in the future. If we accidentally make him cry, it might be hard to handle.”
Daiyu nodded in deep agreement.
“Granny, I’ve remembered. He didn’t seem like a crybaby yesterday when we were fighting the bandits. How could he have such a problem? You really can’t judge a book by its cover…” Daiyu paused for a moment after saying this.
"Granny, I heard from my senior sister that the Tenth Prince didn't used to have this problem. I wonder if it's because he was badly beaten in the Dowager Consort's palace last time, and injured something, that he suddenly developed this ailment. Most of the time he's fine, but if anyone upsets him, tears stream down his face instantly. He's not like a real man at all..."
The two exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing:
Could this be a side effect of letting him enter the space?
