The prince certainly can't stay here overnight.
He can't stay outside the palace for too long anyway. Moreover, Emperor Kangxi is about to return to Beijing, and now he can't afford to make any mistakes.
The prince left when the sky was already dusk.
Feng Ying took the cloak from Dong Bao's hand and helped the prince put it on, kneeling down to tie his belt for him: "I won't see you off then."
The crown prince nodded again and lowered his head to look at her calm face.
Then he turned to the two old women and said: "Take good care of your young lady. If she wants to go out, have someone follow her, don't let anything happen."
Finally, he lowered his head and looked at Feng Ying: "If one day, Gu will let you go. But now, if you leave without saying goodbye..."
"I won't. If the young master needs me, I'll stay here with you. Although it's far, but... I'll always be by your side. If someone really wants to leave, they will definitely ask for the young master's consent. I won't leave without saying goodbye."
Feng Ying saw loneliness from this tall and straight figure.
Unlike her, his loneliness came from not belonging to this world. But what about him? He was the most noble crown prince, yet he was lonely as if he were the only person in the world.
The crown prince smiled and stepped out of the small courtyard.
The farther he went, the more he treasured the warmth she left behind in his heart.
After returning to the palace, he was once again the crown prince who had everything under control. This feeling of leisure was about to come to an end.
After Ye Zao got up, Ah Yuan had already brought her clothes for her to wear.
After returning to Jin Yu Ge, I felt a bit uncomfortable: "I might have caught a cold, go boil some ginger soup for me to drink."
The weather was bad yesterday, I'm afraid I caught a chill.
A-Yuan went off on some errand or other; and by the time she returned with a bowl of ginger soup, Ye Zao was shivering all over.
By dusk, Fourth Master returned home, and Ye Zao had already cooked dinner once.
The family doctor has already been invited, and the front yard also dare not hide it, so they reported to the fourth master.
"Are you ill?" Fourth Master was taken aback for a moment.
"It's said that the burn was severe, and the imperial physician has examined her. The imperial physician thinks that although Miss's previous injury has healed, the internal injuries are not something that can be fully recovered from in a short time. Therefore, Miss is a bit weak. When the weather gets cold, it's easy to get sick, but it's nothing serious." Yu He explained softly.
"Alright, since it's like this, I'll go take a look at her." Fourth Master didn't change his clothes either and directly headed to the backyard.
The servants in the front yard all knew that Ye Gu Niang was favored, and now seeing Fourth Master so anxious, they couldn't help but sigh, it's rare.
Ye Zao drank the medicine and now lay down, feeling a bit weak.
Fourth Master has arrived, she heard it but didn't get up.
Fourth Master came in, she muttered: "Master is auspicious."
Fourth Master grunted and came over to look at her. Her face was a bit red from the burn, her nose was bright red, and her eyes were also red-rimmed, looking very pitiful.
Originally a small ball, curled up in the quilt, it looks even smaller.
What made Fourth Master feel helpless was that the dog called Huasheng, was lying next to her, pressed under the quilt, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes and a pair of fox-like eyes staring at him together...
Jiǎo Sì Yé jiào de, yā lì tǐng dà de.
Translation:
Fourth Master Jiao feels that the pressure is quite big.
"How can dogs come up?" Fourth Master frowned.
Ye Zao suddenly looked wronged and stared at Fourth Master without distinguishing anything.
Fourth Master felt a bit awkward, stretched out his hand and put down the obedient peanuts on the ground.
Then sat down: "How many haven't?"
"I'm out of energy." Ye Zao stretched out his small hand: "Tired."
"Ah, it's good that the fever has subsided, but how did you catch a cold? Were you frozen yesterday?" Fourth Master said, and suddenly remembered the moment when she almost slipped and fell while getting rained on yesterday.
She was asked to take a bath in the front yard.
Fourth Master held her hand: "Take good care of yourself, you'll be fine in a few days."
"Thank you, Grandfather." Ye Zao thought for a moment: "Will Grandfather come to see me again tomorrow? I want to ask Grandfather to stay, but the mistress will get angry. I'm sick... But actually, I don't think Grandfather will be affected by my illness, Grandfather is clearly very powerful."
Originally a charming and pleasant voice, speaking these boastful words in a serious tone.
Because of a fire, his throat has changed, and Fourth Master can't help but want to stop.
Fourth Master didn't notice, his voice also changed: "Will Fourth Master be alright and won't get sick?"
"Uh, no way, Grandpa is too formidable, even the evil spirits are afraid of him." Ye Zao nodded firmly.
This child is completely innocent and naive...
Fourth Master smiled and stroked her cheek: "Take good care of yourself, don't think too much. I'll come see you tomorrow, tell your people what you want to eat."
"Ah, thank you, Grandfather." Ye Zao then pinched Fourth Master's hand: "Grandfather should eat more."
Fourth Master left with a pleasant smile.
After falling ill, Ye's behavior became even more well-behaved.
"Take care." Fourth Master said as he walked away.
Su Peisheng let out a sigh and thought to himself: "You've come in person to show your concern, who would dare not take good care of him?"
As expected, even the people in the main house knew that Ye Zao was ill and had someone come over to visit him.
However, Ye Zao's attitude was very good, and despite being ill, he hurriedly went downstairs to greet them.
This news was transmitted back to the Zhengyuan, and it made Fuyi even more delighted.
"This Ye family member understands propriety and is very good." Furen smiled and said.
"The master says that it's just that this Ye family is now favored, and yet... " Yang's implication was that it was a bit fake.
"Mother is absolutely right, where did she truly respect me?" Fu Jin's smile faded.
"It's just that she has this heart, and that's good enough. Don't think that just because you're favored, you can be arrogant. Besides, she doesn't dare to offend me. She has offended the Li family and Highness Gao. She is a clever person. From start to finish, she never thought of offending me. This is enough. If one day she becomes pregnant, she will also come to me obediently for support, and that's good."
The lady is rational.
She no longer sought favoritism, but this position of legitimate wife must be secured.
If she can't have children in the future, it will be even more difficult to control the backyard.
A spoiled person who remembers their identity is the best.
Besides, she also dislikes Li Shi like her. Being able to suppress Li Shi, this concubine who has a son, is the most desirable thing for Concubine Fu at present.
Although Li's family is currently out of favor, she still has a son and is still the Imperial Noble Consort. Even if the Fourth Master never goes to her quarters again, what can be done?
She is still in a stable position. Her child is currently the most noble young master of the Beile Mansion!
In this respect, Fu Jin is incomparable.
What's more important is that no matter which concubine in the backyard gives birth to a child, they will all be more noble than Ye Shi.
So Ye's identity is also a point that Fu Jin can take advantage of.
So being gentle with her is also good.
"Tell the kitchen to take good care of her, since Ye Shi is ill, take good care of her, and there's no need to pay respects this month." said Fu Jin.
Old Lady Yang let out a sigh and came out to instruct the people below.
Yang's nanny vaguely felt that Ye was not such a rule-abiding person, but at the moment... it seemed to be quite rule-abiding.
