Chapter 228 Wanwan Leiqing
The King of Chu asked subconsciously: "What proposal?"
"The Emperor must not be angry if you tell me this."
"You speak first." The Emperor of Chu was not in a hurry to agree.
"I suggest that princesses like the eldest princess and the third princess, who no longer have a mother, should buy their own houses outside the palace and live there."
"This way they can take care of each other and don't have to stay in the palace and be saddened by the sight of the scene."
"This is against the rules. An unmarried princess cannot have her own residence." The King of Chu said in a firm tone.
"That's why I said this is a bold proposal."
"Sister Yun has a strong learning ability and good memory. I want to take her to learn medical skills." Shen Yindi threw out another temptation.
Hearing this, the King of Chu's eyes really lit up. Thinking of this girl's superb medical skills, if Yun'er could get her true teachings, it would definitely be a great help to their royal family.
"That's a good idea. It's feasible."
"But you also know that learning medicine is a long process, and it takes even longer to become a master. You also need to travel around and see many cases before you can make progress."
Emperor Chu nodded. Of course he knew.
"Then let her learn from you. She won't be returning to the palace anyway."
Shen Yindi immediately caught the key words: "Can she not return to the palace?"
"I will give her this grace. If she doesn't want to come back, I won't force her." Emperor Chu said earnestly.
Shen Yindi curled the corners of her mouth, it was exactly as Sister Yun said.
Now that she heard it from the Emperor Chu himself, she felt much more at ease.
"If Yao'er is bored during this period and Yun'er misses her too much, you can take her out to play. But she has to come back." Emperor Chu said.
"Okay, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
After a moment's silence, Shen Yindi asked again: "Your Majesty, why must the Third Princess come back?"
"If she doesn't want to come back, does she have to force herself to come back?"
"Since she is a member of the royal family, she must make some contributions to this country." The voice of the Emperor Chu was a little low.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Third Princess will marry someone else in the future?"
"If necessary, it's fine."
Shen Yindi bit her lip and was speechless for a moment.
She had no position to say anything.
"Recently, the Kingdom of Nanyue intends to negotiate peace with our Great Chu. They will send envoys to discuss matters."
A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Yindi's eyes.
"But aren't Nanyue and Zhaoyue very close? Do you believe they would be sincere in negotiating peace with our Great Chu?"
"Humph, so what? As long as we have common interests, Zhaoyue Country has no value to use, so what does it matter if they get close to each other?"
"Girl, you are still too young. There is nothing absolute in this world."
Shen Yindi nodded. She indeed didn't dare to act rashly in front of the emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I know nothing about politics."
"You don't understand, but Yan'er does."
"But it's still too early to talk about these things with the Kingdom of Nanyue, and they may not succeed."
Shen Yindi thought, did the emperor tell her these things on his own initiative?
It's hard to speculate.
"Then did your subject-in-law go to visit the Third Princess?"
"Go ahead. Let Duofu take you there."
"it is good."
After that, Shen Yindi left. A figure hiding in the dark turned around and left quickly after hearing their conversation.
The King of Chu stood up and prepared to go find his beloved concubine.
After just a short while, he felt that he missed her very much.
Under Duofu's guidance, Shen Yindi finally arrived at the third princess's bedroom after many twists and turns.
It's really very biased.
This section alone took them more than half an hour.
Shen Yindi's feet were a little sore.
The third princess is really unfavored, and it is obvious whether she is loved or not.
Behind them were several palace maids, carrying gifts from the emperor.
The third princess's bedroom is not big, and looks like the cold palace in a palace drama. There are few people.
I heard yesterday that there were only three people serving her, two palace maids and a nanny. I don’t know if the three of them were taking good care of her.
They came here without prior notice.
When I came in, I saw three palace maids eating melon seeds outside the yard.
When he saw Shen Yindi and Duofu coming in, he immediately knelt down.
Shen Yindi didn’t know him, but Duofu and the others definitely knew him.
Are you all playing? It's time for lunch, right? No one is going to prepare it?
Shen Yindi took a quick look but did not see the third princess.
"Where is the third princess?" Shen Yindi's voice was cold.
"The Third Princess is... resting in her room." The nanny spoke haltingly, her eyes flickering. She looked very guilty.
Shen Yindi snorted coldly and walked in quickly.
"Which room is she in?" she asked grimly.
"Hurry up and lead the way!" Duofu said coldly, his voice was so sharp that it made people tremble.
"Slave...slave obeys your command."
Originally, the palace had only a few rooms.
Soon, Chu Yao's room was pushed open, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine hit her face.
Chu Yao was lying on the ground, next to a broken bowl and a puddle of water. It should be the medicine in the bowl.
Shen Yindi looked around the room. What else didn't she understand?
She hurried over and picked up Chu Yao.
Duofu had already scolded: "Bold servant, is this how you serve your master?"
The maid immediately knelt down, trembling all over: "Please spare my life, sir, I know I was wrong..."
"Get out there and kneel down!"
The maid stumbled out.
Shen Yindi felt that the third princess was so thin and weak that she could even hold her in her arms.
According to Chu Yun, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, which means she was only one year younger than her.
She is a princess, but her life is worse than that of ordinary people. It's so sad.
It is autumn in the capital now. The temperature difference between morning and night is huge. It is already chilly at night, but her sheets and quilt are still so thin.
There was no such thing as a brazier in the room.
Perhaps because she felt someone was hugging her, Chu Yao woke up immediately, with fear in her eyes that she had not had time to retract.
When seeing her, Shen Yindi inexplicably thought of himself, the original owner.
She had received the same treatment in the Shangshu Mansion before.
No one cares about her life or death.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Yun asked me to come see you." Shen Yindi's voice subconsciously became gentle, for fear of scaring her.
Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned red.
"Is the eldest princess okay now?" Her voice was hoarse, and her lips were chapped, probably because she was too dehydrated.
"She's fine, don't worry, I'll take you to see her today, okay?"
"Is it okay?" Her eyes lit up.
But soon the light went out, and the hoarse voice sounded again: "No, my father won't let me leave the palace..."
"Of course, I've already talked to the Emperor. He agreed."
"You are……"
"I am Shen Yindi."
"You are..." She had shock in her eyes and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Obviously, Chu Yun should have told her.
"Yes, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person." Shen Yindi said with a smile.
Don't make her nervous.
At this time, someone else came outside.
Not long after, Duofu came in and said respectfully, "Miss Shen, the Queen is summoning the Third Princess."
