Chapter 278 The Princess
The princess's sedan chair was carried directly into the house, and only then did the mother-in-law help the princess get down from the sedan chair. The princess is now a little skinny, as if she will fall down when a gust of wind blows, but her face is not like that of an ordinary seriously ill person, but very red.
The girls helped the princess get down from the sedan chair, and the princess said that she wanted to salute the old prince and the Su family. Su Shi hurriedly said that he would not be polite, and directly asked the princess to help the princess to sit on a chair. The princess was a little panting on the chair, and she couldn't sit steadily, so she had to be supported by the little girl beside her.
King Yongjing's brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.
“…… How did it come? It's just a little better, and it should be a good rest. Su Shi complained about the princess, and her tone and demeanor were full of concern.
"The daughter-in-law's illness is worrying about the father and the mother." The princess said slowly, her voice sounding weak, and she had to stop and catch her breath halfway through her words.
"I know that you are a polite and lovely child. It's just that after such a toss, how can your body suffer? Even if there is something to say, you sent someone, and we used to be the same. Su said.
"Your mother is right, why do you have to come out like this, it makes us even more worried." King Yongjing also said.
“…… I don't know when, this breath didn't catch up, and it passed. The princess smiled, but her smile was a little uglier than crying, "I must come to express my daughter-in-law's intentions." ”
Hearing the princess say this, Su hurriedly waved his hand and asked the princess not to say such depressing words.
"It's been like this for so many years. If it's an ordinary person, it's just that they don't have such ability. People like us, as long as they can be found in this world, we can find them. You have a long life to come. Don't think about yourself, but also think about the son of the world, the son of the son, their father and son. Good students are relaxed, when you are well, we can also rest assured. Su Shi said earnestly.
"Healed. It can't be cured. The princess grinned again, and the desolation became more and more obvious. I'm dragging ...... down."
"Don't say anything like that." Su Shi hurriedly stopped the princess's words, and asked the princess again, "But what do you want to eat, just tell me." ”
"I don't need to eat anything, my father, queen and mother have enough heart to worry about me." The princess said.
"If I don't worry about you, who are I worried about? If you have compassion on us, you will get well quickly. What are the requirements, just say. Su Shi sighed.
"There is one thing that asks my father, the queen and the princess to agree." The princess said slowly. That's it. The princess seemed to be a little exhausted, so she leaned back in her chair and slowed down.
The princess was weak and her voice was weak, Liu Ruoxi and the others were sitting on the side, trying their best to hold their breath, for fear that they would exhale it in one breath, so they swept away the words of the princess. As Su said, the princess has just been out of danger. If there is any big thing, you must spend such a lot of trouble to come to Chunhui Hall. Naturally, it was not to thank King Yongjing and the Su family.
The princess has something important to say, in order to appear solemn, and let King Yongjing and the Su family definitely promise her, she will go to such great lengths.
Liu Ruoxi glanced at the princess. I was a little curious.
"Good boy, you speak slowly, don't be in a hurry. If you can do it, your father and I will surely agree to you. Su Shi hurriedly said. On the other hand, she asked her ginseng soup to be served to the princess.
The princess refused to drink the ginseng soup, and after half a day's work, she finally took a breath.
“…… I'm in such a body. There is also Jin'er, who wants to have a caring person around to help take care of it. The princess gasped, "I beg my father and mother to send someone to my mother's family." ”
"Why do you need to say that?" King Yongjing said, "Just send someone there, but you have to bother your in-laws." ”
In the past few days when the princess has been seriously ill, the Su family has also sent people to visit her several times. The princess woke up, and the people of the Su family stayed for half a day before going back.
"I'll send someone to tell me." Su Shi said.
"Others are okay," the princess raised her hand, and fell weakly, "Don't ask the seventh sister if she can come." Over the years, she has mostly taken care of her daughter-in-law, and she is the most intimate with her daughter-in-law. I am also dedicated to Jin'er. ”
After the princess finished saying this, it seemed that she had finally used up all her strength, and she closed her eyes and leaned only on the back of her chair, and her breath became weaker and weaker.
There was an eerie silence in the room.
It seemed that something important had happened, and Liu Ruoxi subconsciously went to see Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan didn't have any expression on his face, but when he saw Liu Ruoxi looking over, he nodded slightly to Liu Ruoxi. This is to reassure Liu Ruoxi, and at the same time tell Liu Ruoxi not to say anything.
There is no need for Rong Chenghan to hint at it, Liu Ruoxi also knows that now is not the time for her to speak.
After the princess finished speaking, no one spoke, especially the Su family, who also closed her mouth at this time. However, although Su Shi didn't speak, his eyes looked at Rong Chengyi.
It seems that in this matter, the Su family is not good at making their own decisions, and it depends on Rong Chengyi's meaning.
Rong Chengyi didn't speak, and the lights were already in the house at this time. Under the candlelight, Rong Chengyi's face was dark and uncertain, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at the moment. The old prince was also silent and did not speak.
"When the princess is sick, thanks to the princess taking care of her every day." Su Shi coughed dryly twice and said slowly.
The princess slowly opened her eyes again, and glanced at Rong Chengyi laboriously.
"I have nothing to say about asking someone from my uncle's family to help take care of it." Rong Chengyi finally spoke, "It's just that I deliberately want to call the seventh sister, so it's not necessary." The seventh sister is at a young age, and we can't delay her. ”
Rong Chengyi's voice landed, and the princess suddenly gasped violently. Her face turned even redder when she gasped, and tears flowed from her eyes.
The little girl on the side was so frightened that she was at a loss, and Rong Chengyi also stood up and walked quickly to the side of the princess. Seeing Rong Chengyi leaning down/leaning down, holding down the shoulders of the princess, and seemed to whisper something in the ear of the princess, the princess slowly settled down.
Liu Ruoxi was on the side, only vaguely hearing the sentence "You don't want to breathe and think", but the rest were vague.
It's just that the princess did not change her words because of this, but her attitude became more firm.
"Since I got married, my father, queen and mother love me. The prince also respects me and loves me. I'm ...... now, and that's all I can think about. The seventh sister and I have a deep sisterhood and will definitely not complain. And ......," the last sentence of the princess was in her mouth, "she couldn't delay her for too long." ”
Rong Chengyi lowered his head, King Yongjing frowned, and Su sighed.
It seems that there are some things that everyone knows. Liu Ruoxi also faintly grasped something, but it was not good to ask now.
Rong Chengyi didn't speak again, and the old prince didn't say anything, so the Su family made the decision. Immediately sent someone to Su Mansion to pass on the words of the princess, and asked the Su family to send Su Qingnuan to accompany the princess.
If this request was made by the Su family, Liu Ruoxi thought that even if she didn't open her mouth, Rong Chenghan would open her mouth to stop it, and the old prince should also be able to stand on their side. However, this request was made by the princess. The princess's life was in danger, and no one could refuse her request.
Su Shi gave the order, and the princess obviously couldn't support it. Rong Chengyi hurriedly got up and said goodbye to King Yongjing and the Su family. took someone to accompany the princess back to Rongyuan Hall.
Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan also retired and returned to Yunshui Center.
When they arrived at the house, the two did not speak until they sat down on the couch. Mama Chang brought people to bring tea fruits. found that the faces of the two were wrong, and they secretly made a face to Liu Ruoxi.
Mama Chang advised Liu Ruoxi not to play petty with Rong Chenghan anymore.
Liu Ruoxi nodded to Mama Chang and signaled that Mama Chang was fine. Mama Chang looked at Rong Chenghan's face again. As soon as he stepped back, he quietly retreated and called out the two girls of June and Layue.
"It's not the first time you've mentioned this matter, is it?" Liu Ruoxi casually peeled the fruit in her hand. asked Rong Chenghan as soon as he could.
Rong Chenghan didn't need Liu Ruoxi to say it in detail, he already understood what Liu Ruoxi was referring to.
"Never talked about it." At least he has never mentioned it on the surface, and this is the first time that the princess has taken the initiative to say such a thing.
Although it has never been talked about, the idea has been around for a long time. As for when it will be early, even Rong Chenghan can't say clearly, because he was not very old at that time, and he was not even old enough to take the initiative to pay attention to these things. It is impossible to say who first had such an idea. This is an undercurrent in the palace, no one has ever said it in the open, but there are not many people who know it.
Of course, this is also in the early years. After all, when the princess married into the palace, her health was not very good, and later she gave birth to Rongjin, and her body was even more weak. But in recent years, although the princess's body is weak, it has gradually stabilized and even improved, so this undercurrent has been deliberately suppressed, and no one dares to talk about it.
Because Rong Chenghan has been away from Beijing for several years, there is no accurate news about the development of this matter, and later the Su family intends to marry Su Qingnuan to him, Rong Chenghan thought that the Su family and the Su family have changed their minds, so he did not tell Liu Ruoxi about this old thing.
Listening to Rong Chenghan tell the whole story, Liu Ruoxi pondered for a long time.
"Actually, the princess is reluctant, isn't she?" Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan again.
Rong Chenghan supported his forehead, he regarded this matter as an old thing, and did not take the initiative to tell Liu Ruoxi, on the one hand, because he really didn't know the exact news, and on the other hand, he was a little impatient with this matter. The princess's temperament is awkward, and Rong Chenghan is impatient to explore the psychology of ordinary women, not to mention the psychology of the princess.
For those grievances and entanglements in Rongyuan Hall, Rong Chenghan has always avoided them.
"Auntie, in this regard, I trust your judgment more." Rong Chenghan simply said to Liu Ruoxi, he believed that with Liu Ruoxi's carefulness and intelligence, he should be able to make correct judgments after gradually integrating into the life of the palace.
Liu Ruoxi was helpless and sighed, but she didn't blame Rong Chenghan. Regarding the princess, she also felt very difficult to understand as a woman, let alone Rong Chenghan.
"I think my sister-in-law still hopes that she can live." However, Rong Chenghan still said.
No matter who it is, in the position of the princess, there will be such thoughts, this will definitely not be wrong, Liu Ruoxi also nodded. Even if she has a deep sisterhood with Su Qingnuan, even if she trusts Su Qingnuan again, as a wife and mother, the first choice of the princess is to stay with her husband and take care of her son growing up.
Su Qingnuan is just a choice made in desperation.
After all, they are their own sisters, and they are also related to Rongjin by blood. The relationship between the palace and the Su family will not change, and Rongjin's foreign family will not change. Compared with others, Su Qingnuan is naturally a better choice. Moreover, judging from Liu Ruoxi's observation after entering the palace, Su Qingnuan was really thoughtful and concerned about the princess and Rong Jin.
However, there is a premise for this thoughtfulness and concern.
"Such an arrangement, the seventh sister herself knows. Is she willing to do that? Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan.
"Ahma, is this question still for me? You haven't seen it yet? The corners of Rong Chenghan's mouth curled up / A mocking arc.
Su Qingnuan's thoughtfulness and concern for the princess and Rongjin have reached a deliberate level, and of course Liu Ruoxi will not be unaware. Liu Ruoxi looked up and saw the ridicule on Rong Chenghan's face, and she was immediately blessed with happiness.
"I see." Liu Ruoxi clapped her hands.
"What do you understand?" Rong Chenghan asked.
"The matter of the princess has developed so far, it's actually a little embarrassing, right?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan with some sympathy.
Maybe it was when the princess was critically ill for the first time, I don't know who had such an idea and asked Su Qingnuan to take over the position of the princess. However, the princess survived, and this boiled for many years. stayed up until Su Qingnuan's age grew, and although the princess was weak, she was still alive strong.
It is precisely because of this that this undercurrent is pressed in the palace, and the Su family will love Su Qingnuan so much. In Su's extraordinary love for Su Qingnuan, there is no element of apology and compensation. Seeing that the princess would still live, it happened that Rong Chenghan came back at this time, and he also got a knighthood and high power. The Su family even had the idea of marrying Su Qingnuan to Rong Chenghan.
In this way, it can be regarded as a good compensation for Su Qingnuan.
It turned out that the Su family regarded Rong Chenghan as compensation for Su Qingnuan, and it is no wonder that Rong Chenghan was so resolute in his opposition, and his relationship with the Su family became more and more estranged. Rong Chenghan's ridicule was aimed at this matter. No wonder he was reluctant to mention it.
"You asked my father for a kiss, did you give you to the seventh sister because you were afraid that your mother would give you to your seventh sister?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan and asked with a smile, "Actually, you don't hate the seventh sister, and you don't want to marry her because of your mother's attitude?" (To be continued......)
