~ SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT AS GOOD BROTHERS SHOULD ~
Si Shu left the room with some guilty conscience and just happened to run into Si Qin. She quickly stepped forward to hold her. “Sister Si Qin, Miss seems to have found out, that flower....”
Si Qin hurriedly pulled the person back and sighed softly. Among the four of them, Si Shu’s martial arts is the strongest, but her personality is also the most innocent. She couldn’t control her emotions and said, “Miss has always been intelligent. How could we hide it from her? If she discover it, then so be it. Anyway, you picked up the flower at the door.”
“But... Fourth Master sent someone to put it at the door. “
“That won’t be a problem. You just picked up the flowers from the door and placed them on the table in the room. Don’t worry, Miss won’t bother.”
“But now that we are with Miss, don’t you think she would think we were disloyal by doing this?”
Si Qin couldn’t help laughing: “Did the Fourth Master ask you to put the flowers on the table?”
“Nope.” The Fourth Master sent someone to put the flower at the door. She saw it and thought it must be for Miss, so she picked it up.
“Then that’s enough. Rest assured, Master is more considerate than us.” Fourth Master had gone through a lot of trouble to send the four of them to Miss, so he naturally wouldn’t let Miss have a reason to chase them away.
Si Shu thought about it for a while and felt that it made a bit of sense. She then calmed herself down and asked, “Then do I still need to go to the back of the mountain to find Hibiscus Mutabilis?”
Si Qin helplessly pulled Si Shu away: “We’ll just pick it up from the door at night.”
“...That would be fine.” The Fourth Master will send it anyway.
In the afternoon, Su Yuyi felt even more uncomfortable. Her knees looked like they were about to break, but she had come to Baohua Temple to perform well in order to get Princess Yi De to look at her more. At this time, she had to persevere no matter what.
Taking advantage of the afternoon break, she had someone change the cushions. However, her legs still felt very uncomfortable, and her condition did not improve at all. After kneeling for less than half an hour, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground again.
Su Qingwu’s forehead twitched and asked the maid to help her up. “Yuyi, since you’re not feeling well, why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”
“No need,” Su Yuyi quickly shook her head. If she gave up at this moment, isn’t the previous discomfort all in vain? “Don’t worry, Elder Brother. I can persevere.”
Seeing her stubbornness, Su Qingwu knew what she and her mother were planning, so he didn’t try to dissuade her.
There are several rooms in Baohua Temple that had always been closed to outsiders. But at this moment, Jin Wang came to the door and asked people to report back. Not long after, he was invited in.
“Greetings, Imperial Aunt.” Jin Wang walked through the door and saluted Grand Princess Yi De with a smile on his face.
Grand Princess Yi De put down the Buddhist scripture in her hand and said, “Stand up, why have you come?”
“Imperial Father was worried that you weren’t used to living on the mountain, so he asked me to come visit you. He also asked me to bring a letter for Imperial Aunt to take a look.”
Qu Mama took the letter and handed it to the Grand Princess.
After reading the contents of the letter, the Grand Princess Yi De couldn’t help but smile. “Imperial Brother has thought it through a bit too thoroughly, but the Autumn Hunt in September is a good opportunity. You go back and say that I agree. During the Autumn Hunt, all of the young ladies should go as well.”
“Yes.” Jin Wang took out a prescription from his sleeve. “Imperial Aunt, I know that you’ve suffered from chest pain again these past few days. This is a prescription that I’ve got someone to look up, and I’ve asked the imperial physicians to take a look at for me. It says that the medicinal properties are mild enough and can slowly restore the body. Imperial Aunt looked at it and used it if it could be used.”
The Grand Princess Yi De motioned for Qu Mama to accept the prescription. “You’re quite considerate. This is an old ailment of mine that has been pained for many years. I’m gradually getting used to it. You even specially went to search for a prescription. It’s hard for you.”
“This is what Nephew should do. If I can cure Imperial Aunt’s chest pain after so many years, Imperial Father’s heart can also be relieved. He don’t need to worry about it all the time.”
As Jin Wang was speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He quickly turned his head to look and saw the cold expression on Yue Wang’s face, “Fourth Brother, when did you return from Western Guangdong? Why have you not entered the Palace to pay respects toImperial Father?”
Yue Wang placed down a pot of the Daffodils in his hand and cupped his hands as he greeted Jin Wang: “Greetings, Third Imperial Brother.”
“Fourth Imperial Brother is excused. A few days ago at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, Imperial Father said that he would make an order to announce the Fourth Brother’s return. I didn’t expect that in just a few short days, Fourth Imperial Brother had already returned to the Capital.”
The Grand Princess’s eyes fell on the daffodils by the table and did not participate in the conversation between the two brothers.
Yue Wang ignored him and placed the Daffodils in front of Grand Princess Yi De. “What Imperial Aunt feel about this potted flower?”
“Although it didn’t blossom, it was quite interesting and charming.” Grand Princess Yi De motioned for Qu Mama to arrange the Daffodils and then said, “You two haven’t seen each other for a long time. Go out and have a chat. I’m a bit tired. I need a nap first.”
“Yes, then I won’t disturb Imperial Aunt.”
After exiting the room, Jin Wang looked at Yue Wang with a smile, not caring about the cold look on his face: “Fourth Imperial Brother has always been a man of his words, but this time, it was really unexpected.”
Yue Wang raised his eyes. “Will the Third Imperial Brother report my return to the Capital in advance to Imperial Father?”
Jin Wang’s eyes flashed, and he smiled even more than before, “How could that be? Although Imperial Father said that you couldn’t enter the Capital without an Imperial Edict, with Imperial Aunt here, I believe Imperial Father will not care about such a small matter.”
As if he did not hear the profound meaning behind Jin Wang’s words, Yue Wang spoke coldly: “Then take care, Third Imperial Brother. I shall not send you off.” With that, he turned and headed back to the Grand Princess’s room.
Jing Wang Jin looked at his back, and a slightly gloomy emotion flashed in his eyes. Everyone knew that he had been raised by the Grand Princess when he was young. Even his Imperial Father, the Emperor, regarded him more highly because of this.
In truth, he just listened to his mother’s word and had insisted on staying by the side of the Grand Princess. He had always been humble and submissive, trying to curry favor with the Grand Princess. However, at that time, he was still young, and his patience was poor. It was because the Grand Princess was neither cold nor hot, so he had not been able to persevere to the very end.
However, during that time, he discovered a secret. That was to say, the Grand Princess’s treatment of Yue Wang was very different from others. Not only would she get the mama to deliver things to the cold palace every once in a while, but she would also even occasionally hear stories about what he had done in the cold palace.
After that, when the Grand Princess left the Capital, she did not reduce the amount of care she provided to Yue Wang in the cold palace. It could be said that without the Grand Princess taking care of him, it would have been difficult for Yue Wang to live to the age of twelve, let alone be assigned to Western Guangdong.
And now, Yue Wang had returned to the Capital, but he had gone straight to the Grand Princess without even seeing the Imperial Father in the Palace. He couldn’t help but suspect that the two never break off contact, and the relationship between the two of them was extremely close.
After thinking for a moment, Jin Wang did not immediately leave. Instead, he sent his personal bodyguards back to the Palace to report to the Emperor and chose a room to stay. He still had a few things he needed to confirm, and staying in this room would allow others to feel that he and Grand Princess Yi was close. Thus, the benefits would be greater.
