As Commandery Princess Qingjiang heard Prince of Zhao explaining the ins and outs, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, “However, I brought Wuying and Yixiao here yesterday, intending to live in Buyue Villa for a few days.”
“Cousin Shaoge asks nothing but quietness. Cousin Qingjiang, since your Zhanchun Venue is so large and vast, you can just lend a room of modest size to him and his book boy.” Prince of Zhao said unreservedly, “He doesn’t necessarily have to live nearby the hot spring. In that case, he won’t defame your reputations, right?”
“Sure!” Commandery Princess Qingjiang sighed with relief in secret. Although one of her junior brothers had married Prince of Zhao’s half-sister and another one of her brothers had made his position clear and stood by the side of Prince Crown early, she took after her mother, Jinguo Grand Princess, and didn’t get involved in the political issues.
So since she had allowed the Yuan Siblings to enj
How could the poor Commandery Princess Qingjiang and Song Yixiao know that Nie Wuying’s sudden change in temperament was due to fear of punishment for running away from home?That afternoon, Commandery Princess Qingjiang’s son, Zhuo Ping’an, was crying again, and she had to comfort him. Song Yixiao stood alone in front of Nie Wuying’s door for more than an hour, but still couldn’t make her sister-in-law soften, and finally had to return. Of course, she did not return to her own room directly, but reported to Commandery Princess Qingjiang who had just returned from Jianliu Building.“In the past, Wuying couldn’t have been easier to talk to, but why does she change now?” Commandery Princess Qingjiang was sad and confused, “Although there’s no situation where three brothers were all absent in her birthdays in the past, it’s not that nobody else hasn’t been absent. What’s going on?”Song Yixiao thought to herself that this sister-in-law was a delic
Commandery Princess Qingjiang sighed, “After noon, a messenger came from the palace, said that Princess Yushan felt that she has no companion after Changxing was married. She wants to join us when hearing that I came to Zhanchun Venue with others!”“That’s going to be very lively!” Song Yixiao was a bit speechless. Not counting the people that Commandery Princess Qingjiang herself invited over here, the Yuan siblings, the cousins Prince of Zhao and Su Shaoge, were already two groups of people that came to live here. Now even Princess Yushan was coming. It was only in winter, but was like in January when people walk around to visit their relatives!“Does that mean lively?” Commandery Princess Qingjiang showed an expression of wanting to spit blood, “Just now, Aunt Daiguo sent someone to tell me that her back has been hurting lately and that she intends to bring her son and daughter over for a few days of relief in hot springs!”Song Yixiao, “...
Princess Yushan was full of resentment as she left Lunong Building. All was because of her brother who was totally not sensible. She rushed over with excitement, but neither did she have any word with Su Shaoge, nor did she have a few glances at him, who went politely back to his room to study!What’s more, later, Princess Yushan tried to pull the topic towards Su Shaoge, hoping that Prince of Zhao would realize something. Unexpectedly, Prince of Zhao was probably instructed by the guards in palace. After listening attentively, he actually vowed, “Yushan, don’t worry! Cousin Shaoge is definitely a serious man. He would never bother you if you lived here! Even if you worry about him, I’m still here to protect you. Since you don’t like him, I’ll make sure he doesn’t come near you! If you’re still worried, I’ll help you pick a residence that’s ten or twenty miles from here.”After he said this, Song Yixiao, who was drinking tea silently, heard clearly the soun
The people in the pavilion didn’t expect Commandery Princess Nanzhang and the others to come in. They looked at each other for a moment. It was so embarrassing!A long while later, Song Yixiao saw that no one was talking, so she had to say first, “Marquis Yuan, Xue’e, Muting, are you resting here too?”“Yes!” Yuan Xue’e represented the three to answer quickly, “Muting was here first. My brother and I were a little thirsty after walking for a while, so we also came in to have a seat.”She also complimented Commandery Princess Nanzhang, “You are so beautiful with the clothes. Is the embroidery work of the lotus from the palace? Outsider embroiderers don’t have that kind of skill.”Song Yixiao said to Yuan Xuepei, “Several days ago when I was in the imperial capital, Xubai told me about you. You’re looking well now. How’s everything going?”The two joined forces to smooth things over, Commandery Princess Nanzhang thought
“What should we do?" As Nie Wuying was worried about her sister-in-law, Commandery Princess Nanzhang was in tears in Ruyi Garden, tugging at a sleeve of Daiguo Grand Princess and sobbing, “Since I was married, Virtuous Consort has always been lukewarm towards me. And I couldn’t help scolding her niece in front of the crowd this time. How could she help Prince of Wei?”Daiguo Grand Princess was gloomy and said with anger, “If you had been so sensible earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine?"“How was I supposed to know that Jiang Muting was in that pavilion?” Commandery Princess Nanzhang muttered in grievance “I wouldn't go in if I knew. The most hateful person is Song Yixiao! If you hadn't been so kind to help my cousin Roumei and her to comfort Cousin Nie, and if you hadn't sent my husband and me to accompany them, how would I have been so patient to hang around outside with her in such a chilly winter? It turned out that she sat by and watched Yuan Xu
Although Commandery Princess Qingjiang thought Yuan Xuepei and his sister couldn’t escape, Song Yixiao still went to Caixia Villa before she went back to her room to pack up a change of clothes and take Nie Wuying to Yaohua Venue, “Aunt Daiguo will definitely come to Buyue Villa tomorrow to condemn me. I don’t want to suffer this, so I’d like to run away. Do you want to come along? According to Aunt Daiguo’s temperament, as you all know, if you don’t leave and are caught by her, you won’t get past her easily.”“It’s not necessary.” Yuan Xue’e changed her face at the news and went to call her brother out to discuss countermeasures hurriedly. However, Yuan Xuepei shook his head with a smile after hearing the story, saying, “The heir of Marquis Fuyang is here too. I’m at least experienced hardship together with him. He won’t let Her Highness come to trouble me personally. As for the others, I don’t think they can make things difficult for me!”Song Yixiao look
According to the arrangement of Commandery Princess Qingjiang, Song Yixiao and Nie Wuying should go back to the imperial capital after spending one night in Yaohua Venue.However, you just never knew what would happen. Commandery Princess Qingjiang let Nie Wuying and Song Yixiao get away from the dinner in Ruyi Garden on the ground that Nie Wuying was sick. Unexpectedly, the excuse just came true!The next morning, Song Yixiao suddenly awoke, feeling too hot. She opened her eyes and found in surprise that Nie Wuying sleeping next to her touched like fire, who was in a fever!Song Yixiao hastily got off bed to summon servants while dressing herself up in a hurry.When Yuedeng and Liyu came into the room and saw what happened, they also felt at a loss, “Your Highness, how come?”“Why do you bother to ask?” Song Yixiao tied up the belt roughly and touched the forehead of Nie Wuying only to find that it was as hot as a pie
Yuedeng would never forget to send words to Commandery Princess Qingjiang. After all, Su Shaoge had some medical skills, but he was not assuring than a real doctor. As to whether Daiguo Grand Princess would find out about Song Yixiao’s whereabouts for that, Song Yixiao and Yuedeng both knew that it was not the time to worry about this.Afterwards, Liyu came back from Lunong Building and reported, “Mr. Su said that the prescription was to make Miss Nie sweat. Now we should wait for Her Ladyship’s fever to go down. If it does, she will be fine!”Song Yixiao and Jiang Muting heard the report and both touched Nie Wuying’s forehead only to find that she did sweat a lot but her fever didn’t go down by much. Thus, they got nervous again.Yet, since Su Shaoge told them to wait, they couldn’t do anything but to ask the servant to bring new quilts and replace the old one in case Nie Wuying would feel uncomfortable with the wetted quilt. Then, a man of Bu
