Chapter 252: East Palace
Ji Ruhuan followed Xinyi into the door, and smelled a heavier smell of medicine, and the front hall was empty, and there was no one waiting for him.
Behind the screen, a dull cough sounded heard.
Ji Ruhuan and Xinyi stood in the main hall, glanced at each other, and were considering whether they should go around the screen and go in.
I heard the gentle voice inside speak, "Is it Xinyi and Ruhuan, come in." ”
Ji Ruhuan and Xinyi could hear the words inside, and motioned for the people behind them to stay outside, and the two went around the screen and entered the inner room.
As soon as I entered, I saw a man with a thin face and a pale face who could not hide his handsomeness, who was being helped up by a thin woman and sat on the soft collapse, it was the prince of the East Palace and his crown princess.
Ji Ruhuan and Xinyi bowed down, the man showed a weak smile, and said, "No need to be polite, sit over there." ”
Xinyi pulled Ji Ruhuan over and sat down, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Prince, what about the people in your house, why don't you have anyone to serve?"
The crown princess showed a soft smile and answered for the weak prince, "He doesn't like people to wander around, so he sent away the servants who were waiting around him." ”
Then the crown princess looked at Ji Ruhuan, "I haven't seen Ruhuan for a long time, is the family okay?"
Ji Ruhuan responded politely, "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine." ”
The crown princess sighed, "It's become unfamiliar, when I was young, I liked to follow me and call my cousin, if Ruhuan is willing, you can call me cousin." ”
Ji Ruhuan is as kind as a streamer, "Cousin." ”
The crown princess is from the Mu family of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, that is, Ji Ruhuan's maternal grandfather's family, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, and the eldest sister of the Mu family.
It's a pity that it's also a hard life, the prince has been weak since he was a child, and he has become even worse when he becomes an adult, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will become a royal widow early.
But marrying the prince was what she insisted on, and the Mu family did not agree to her marrying into the royal family at that time, let alone the sick prince.
It was the queen she asked for, and the queen asked Her Majesty to give her a marriage, and she finally married the prince as she wished, but after marrying into the royal family, the Mu family completely broke off contact with her, the crown princess.
Hearing Ji Ruhuan's cousin, the crown princess smiled with relief.
Ji Ruhuan opened his mouth and continued to ask, "Has His Royal Highness the Prince's condition improved?" Ruhuan has been running outside in the past few years, but he has met some Jianghu Langzhong, why don't you find it for His Royal Highness the Prince?"
The prince replied with a weak smile, "My illness has been a stubborn disease for many years, and it is the same for everyone, so I don't bother to work hard." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at the two secretly, the prince had an indifferent expression, but her cousin, the princess, had obviously red eyes.
Seeing such an expression, a hint of darkness flashed in Ji Ruhuan's eyes, the prince didn't seem to know anything, but her cousin's expression, I'm afraid she knew something.
The prince's body was also really weak, and after only a few words, he was weak, and was helped by the princess to lie down.
The crown princess looked helpless and said to the two, "Let him rest for a while, let's talk here." ”
While saying that the crown princess covered the prince with a blanket, she came over to sit down with them, and said, "Your Highness often talks about Xinyi, but she misses it tightly, but it's a pity that he is not in good health, and the queen mother feels sorry for him and is afraid that people will disturb his recuperation, don't be angry with Your Highness." ”
Xinyi was also very distressed when she saw her brother like this, and replied with red eyes, "How can I be angry, as long as my brother's body can get better as soon as possible." ”
The crown princess pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Ruhuan on the side, sighed and said, "Since marrying His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is not in good health, and he is not taken care of by anyone, but his mother's family has little contact, and I don't know what is going on in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion now, can Ruhuan tell me?"
Ji Ruhuan sighed in her heart, and responded with a smile, "It's all good, my great-grandfather's body is quite tough, my eldest cousin and the lord of Changping have become relatives, husband and wife are in love, I think I will be able to hug my nephew soon, and I also received an invitation to the Qiu Ju banquet held by my eldest cousin two days ago." ”
The crown princess murmured with a longing face, "That's good, you go to the banquet to help me...... , forget it, it's good for them. ”
At this time, the person on the bed began to cough again, and the princess hurriedly got up and went to the bedside, stroked the prince's chest lightly, and waited until the prince's breathing calmed down a little, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Princess Xinyi looked at her brother like this, and she couldn't help much, but the more she stayed, the more uncomfortable she became, so she said to Ji Ruhuan on the side with red eyes, "Let's go, so as not to disturb the prince's brother's rest." ”
Ji Ruhuan nodded, and the two of them got up to say goodbye to the prince on the bed, although the prince was weak, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and seemed to be very happy that the two of them came to see him.
Seeing that the two were leaving, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't keep it in the end, and said to the crown princess on the side, "You go and send them." ”
The crown princess responded, got up and came over to see off the guests, and when she saw the screen, Ji Ruhuan turned around and hugged the princess, and called her cousin.
The crown princess was stunned by Ji Ruhuan's hug, and then her eyes turned a little red, she reached out and hugged Ji Ruhuan back, and said softly, "Why is it that when you grow up, you are still as clingy as when you were a child." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that someone had stuffed something in his chest, and Ji Ruhuan responded childishly, "When you grow up, you are also my cousin." ”
After Ji Ruhuan finished speaking childishly, she was reluctant to let go and hugged the princess, but only the princess knew that Ji Ruhuan was whispering in her ear, "The medicine in my arms is the antidote pill, give it to the prince one a day, it can be temporarily suppressed, don't let people find out, and I will find a way to do the rest." ”
A trace of shock flashed in the princess's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, without anyone noticing anything unusual, and said with a smile, "Okay, I can't bear to be cousin like this, I will come to see my cousin more in the future." ”
Ji Ruhuan let go of the crown princess, nodded, and said reluctantly, "Okay, then you can't lock me out." ”
The crown princess replied with a smile, "Okay, let's go." ”
When the two of them left the East Palace, Princess Xinyi asked curiously, "Don't you dislike the Mu family, why do you suddenly have such a good relationship with my sister-in-law?"
Ji Ruhuan sighed, "It was all willful when I was a child, the Mu family is my grandfather's family in the end, and they are all my relatives." ”
Princess Xinyi sighed, "Sister-in-law has never returned to the Mu family since she married into the East Palace, and now I'm afraid I'm very homesick, you don't hate the Mu family anymore, it's better to go to the Mu family to intercede for your sister-in-law, and let them come to see your sister-in-law." ”
Ji Ruhuan pursed her lips and replied, "Okay." ”
