Chapter 41: Winter has arrived
The smile on Chun Tao's face stiffened, but she still didn't stiffen up with Shen Xingyue: "Crown princess." ”
No one knows better than her, Yu Liyuan left a long time ago yesterday, she didn't want to go to Xia He at all for the sake of face, so she hid all night, and only went back this morning, and only slept for a while.
Because of this, she put on makeup to cover up her tiredness, but her cover-up made Shen Xingyue feel that it was caused by Yu Liyuan's sleep too late all night with her, and her dissatisfaction in her heart was a little more.
"Tea for the crown princess." After the salute, it was a tea ceremony, and Shen Xingyue also cheered up, afraid that she would do something in secret, but unexpectedly, Chun Tao had a lot of rules.
After the two left, Shen Xingyue yawned and prepared to go to sleep.
However, before Shen Xingyue could walk back, he heard a voice at the door.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
She reluctantly turned her head and looked at a man who had been tossing in someone else's bed until midnight last night, so now he had dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't afford to talk to him at all.
"I'm going on a long trip recently, and you're going to stay in the house by yourself." Yu Liyuan didn't explain the meaning of yesterday's incident, and said directly to Shen Xingyue.
Shen Xingyue was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Then you can go." ”
"If you have time, go back and see Shen Xiang, after all, you are his only flesh and blood." Yu Liyuan saw that Shen Xingyue didn't hold back for half a point, his eyes darkened, and he proposed again.
After Shen Xingyue nodded in agreement again, Yu Liyuan hurriedly left.
Shen Xingyue didn't bother to care about Yu Liyuan's affairs, and went back to her room to make up for sleep, and when she woke up, it was already noon.
"Taki, prepare meals." Shen Xingyue lazily called out Takiyan, and Takiyan hurriedly went below to order.
When she arrived at the dining place, Shen Xingyue realized that today's table was extremely deserted, and she was the only one.
"What about the prince?" Shen Xingyue put down her chopsticks, how could Yu Liyuan not come over, she was going to starve to death.
Takiyan was stunned, and also whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will leave the capital in the morning." ”
"Oh, yes." Shen Xingyue also remembered the events of the morning, so she didn't have to wait for Yu Liyuan.
But after sandwiching a few chopsticks and dishes, Shen Xingyue still felt that something was wrong.
There is one less person on the other side who is not smiling, and it seems that the meal is not fragrant.
"Where did he go?" Shen Xingyue asked again.
This time she didn't ask about Takiyan, but about the housekeeper.
The butler was also waiting beside him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Recently, a number of ministers jointly played, saying that there was a problem with the sale of officials in the Jiangnan area, which caused the local Baixin to be miserable, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received the news and was assigned by His Majesty to go to Jiangnan to investigate the matter thoroughly." ”
"Is it dangerous?" Shen Xingyue felt a little nervous when she thought of the conspiracy dramas she had watched in her previous life.
Since those people are able to use officials for trading, they will certainly not want to cut off their financial routes now.
"The danger is not dangerous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to solve it smoothly, but I am afraid that it will take a little more time." The housekeeper shook his head, there are many such things, and Yu Liyuan has not run out less.
"How long?" Shen Xingyue obviously didn't want to care about him, but she always felt that it wasn't like that, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she subconsciously wanted to ask clearly.
The housekeeper replied respectfully: "I don't know about this small one, but it is conservatively estimated that it will take two or three months at the earliest." ”
"It's been so long......" Shen Xingyue couldn't help blurting out, and when she noticed the housekeeper's meaningful gaze, Shen Xingyue lowered her head again.
Now in ancient times, transportation was completely inconvenient, and this time was normal.
In fact, she should be happy, Yu Liyuan is not here, and no one will urge her to have a child, and the two little girls in the backyard can't make any waves, and she has the final say in the entire prince's mansion.
But for some reason, Shen Xingyue always had another sorrow in her heart, but she couldn't tell where it came from.
It's winter now, and it's freezing in winter, and I don't know if Yu Liyuan has brought enough clothes, if he gets sick from freezing......
Shen Xingyue subconsciously thought of Yu Liyuan, and soon shook her head again, what did she want him to do.
The days without Yu Liyuan were even more difficult than Shen Xingyue imagined, those worship posts came one after another, Shen Xingyue had to be vain to those people, and had to take the time to go back to the house to see his parents, and occasionally had to go into the palace to help, which almost made Shen Xingyue exhausted.
Even so, she still has to continue her charity activities, for example, when the weather is cold, she will ask Dong Yu to sum up, subsidize the silver herself, and reduce the price of coal this year, and the silver used is paid from the foundation's account.
This is a benefit that everyone can see, and he is more and more polite to Shen Xingyue.
Approaching the end of the year, Shen Xingyue still fell ill.
every day, and there was depression in his heart, but after two or three days of hard work, Shen Xingyue fell on the bed and couldn't get up.
The doctor just prescribed medicine, saying that she was a little deficient, and that she was so sick that she was sick, so she could recuperate, and the charity activities and those prayers finally stopped.
After resting, taking the medicine given by the doctor every day, Shen Xingyue felt that she was going to become a sick seedling, and those originally delicious foods were no longer attractive, and now she had a very bland taste.
"These are the things that were purchased today, and the total amount is fifteen taels of silver, which was paid out of the treasury." The housekeeper came to Shen Xingyue's courtyard to say that winter had already arrived, and these things were all prepared for the New Year.
Shen Xingyue was draped in a big hat and sat by the window, because she was sick, her face also brought a trace of whiteness, and she looked shaky.
"Let's go out again tomorrow, buy a pair of cotton jackets and cotton pants for everyone in the house, this year's winter is colder than ever, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the heart of the palace, you can find Taki's cigarette to take the silver, which is given by the palace itself." Shen Xingyue coughed, and her voice was much gentler than before.
Before, Yu Liyuan was in front of everything, and Shen Xingyue didn't notice anything at all, but now it's her turn to be a housekeeper, and she knows that being in charge of the house is a cumbersome matter.
The housekeeper responded: "It is their blessing that Niangniang can understand people, but Niangniang is not feeling good now, so don't always be by the window, if you catch the cold, this disease will be even more serious." ”
"It's not in the way, the main palace will only sit here for a while, and the window will be closed soon." Shen Xingyue looked at the scenery outside the window, and when she was talking to the housekeeper, it was already snowing heavily.
Pure white snowflakes swirl and fall from the sky, very beautiful.
"The little one went down." The butler left the room and bumped into someone head-on.
