Madam General, please run slower.
Chapter 7 Back to the front door
The princess of the Qianwu Dynasty got married and returned home after the full moon.
For a period of time afterwards, Yu Xun did not appear again. He would not come back to the General's Mansion before he returned home, and Li was happy to see this happen. However, Li was annoyed to the point of wanting to kill someone because he had to deal with Jiang Wan and others who came to pay their respects every day.
Although Jiang Wan was a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, she was both talented and beautiful, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was forced to be given to Yu Xun by the old lady before she died. The other two were the two sisters of the Song family, Song Qinshu and Song Qinyu, who were financial merchants in Jiangnan.
The two Song sisters behaved well in front of her, and would come with Jiang to pay their respects every day before leaving. Jiang was a very contradictory person, and although she was not a bad person, she always hinted at how much she was loved in front of Li.
Whenever she saw Jiang wearing fancy jewelry and asking her if she looked good, Li wanted to say: Sister, I am just a fool. Li, who has been a solo since birth, said that if you want Yu Xun, this waste, you can take it away. Sister doesn't want it at all.
Qu Tangli's small body could not bear their daily morning torment, so she claimed to be sick and exempted from their daily greetings. After the doctor prescribed a lot of tranquilizers, she finally got a moment of peace.
During the month in the General's Mansion, Li had a very enjoyable life. With Chunmei's diligent feeding, his skinny body became plump and gained a lot of flesh. Children's illnesses come and go quickly. After the fever that day, Qu Tangli's health gradually improved. Tanghulu also said that Li's spirit and this body were very compatible, and he believed that he would be able to recover his spiritual power soon.
The limitations of exercising in the house were too great. After Li recovered his mental strength, he began to pull Chunmei to get up early every day to "play", running and jumping in the yard. His physical strength increased, the secret guards figured it out, and his soul became more stable. He no longer felt the pain when gathering the scarce spiritual power. Unfortunately, the spiritual power here was scarce, and her spiritual power could not be replenished, so her dantian was always in a state of deficit.
The day before she returned home, Chunmei began to look worried and chased Li to teach her court etiquette. She was afraid that she would not remember it, so she had to repeat a rule dozens of times before she stopped. Li's ears were almost callused. Li happily ate the ribs here, vowing to make up for the meat she didn't eat in her previous life. Chunmei picked up the food for her with chopsticks, and she began to sigh again while picking up the food.
"Sister Mei, what's wrong?" Li picked up the braised pork and stuffed his mouth full.
"Princess, you will be returning home tomorrow so you must be careful. You can't eat as much as you do now. Even if you are very hungry, you must endure it and wait for me to make you some osmanthus cake when you return." Chunmei took the handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corners of Li's mouth. She had watched the princess grow up, and no one knew better than her how hard the little princess' life was in the palace. If possible, she hoped the princess would stay away from the palace all her life.
"Yes, I know." Li Yi followed the royal etiquette and took a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth. He picked up the handkerchief and gently touched his mouth to wipe the non-existent oil stain. "I remember all this, don't worry, Sister Mei."
"Hey, my little princess has grown up." Chunmei happily put another big piece of meat into Li's bowl.
In the past month, Li had heard Chunmei talk about how she had grown up in the manner of an old mother so many times that she had become numb to it.
According to etiquette, if the princess returns to her parents' home, a family banquet will be held in the palace. However, seeing that the little princess is not favored, this banquet will probably not be held, and she may be sent away with just a table of dishes. Judging from the petty and cold-hearted father in Qu Tangli's memory, he may not even bother to do the superficial work and will choose to keep everything simple. With such an arbitrary emperor, the Minister of Rites is probably going to be bald.
But this had nothing to do with Li, she was just a fool, at most those who disliked Qu Tangli would beat her up for offending her, she would just treat it as a physical training. After the beating, she would pretend to be stupid and cry with Yu Xun, that dog general would definitely want to save face, if the incident got out of hand, the emperor would lose face too, he would definitely punish those who beat her, she would then take the opportunity to grab some rewards to fill her own coffers.
Tanghulu listened to her master arranging all the arrangements for the trouble in her mind and didn't know what to complain for a moment. Chunmei was just worrying in vain. Anyone could suffer a loss, but her master would not. Even if she suffered a loss, she would make up for it from other places.
General Yu, who had disappeared since his wedding, finally returned to the mansion at noon today. Just when the servants were guessing whether the general would go to the princess's west courtyard or Jiang's east courtyard first, someone went straight back to the study without going anywhere. In the study, Yu Xun changed out of his heavy armor and listened to the secret guards reporting on the latest situation in the mansion.
"You mean she plays like a child every day?"
"Yes." The secret guard responded, "The little princess behaves like a child, there is no problem."
"I understand. You go back and continue to monitor the movements of the West Courtyard." If she is really a fool, it is not a problem for the General's Mansion to keep one more of her. Yu Xun waved his hand and lowered his head to deal with the military affairs in his hands. Until the sun set, a crisp knock on the door interrupted Yu Xun's writing.
"Come in." Yu Xun pinched the bridge of his nose to ease the dryness in his eyes.
The woman still loved the lush green color. A few lotus flowers were embroidered on her emerald green brocade dress, which was simple yet elegant. Her long black hair was tied into a bun, which was popular among women in Chengdu City. It was adorned with a golden hairpin and long pearl ornaments swayed down her temples. Even the curve of her lips seemed carefully calculated.
Jiang Wan walked in with a soup bowl in her hand, smiling, "General, you must be tired. I personally cooked a medicinal soup for you. Would you like to try it?"
"What's the matter?" Yu Xun asked with a cold face.
Jiang Wan's hand holding the soup bowl trembled in fear, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's about the princess."
Yu Xun raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to put the soup down. "Tell me."
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said: "The princess is the principal wife, it is not appropriate for me to manage the household affairs."
"The princess's situation is special, so you will still be in charge of the household."
"Yes." After receiving a definite reply, Jiang Wan's heart finally settled down. He pushed the bowl of soup towards Yu Xun and said, "I added some nourishing herbs to the soup according to the princess's preference. General, please try it and see if you like it."
"Medicine?" Yu Xun picked up the soup bowl, smelled it, and seeing that there was nothing strange about it, he took a sip.
Jiang Wan felt a little relieved when she saw Yu Xun drink the soup, with a trace of sadness on her face, "Yes, the princess is weak and delicate, and needs to be nourished with medicinal food every day, so I also learned to make some from the kitchen."
"Oh." Yu Xun responded lightly, with the emphasis on the word "fragile and frail". He developed a high fever after sitting on the ground for a night, so he was weak.
Yu Xun drank a few more sips of soup, but felt that it was nothing special and didn't want to drink it anymore. He looked up and saw Jiang Wan still standing in the study room. He asked with a slightly impatient tone, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"No, it's okay." Jiang Wan suppressed his fear and said, "I'll go serve soup to the princess and I'll leave first."
"Yeah." Yu Xun looked at the sun outside, estimated that it was almost time for dinner, and said, "I'll go with you."
"Ah?" Jiang Wan seemed to be hallucinating, his mind filled with the words "you and me".
Yu Xun put away the books on the table and saw that this person was still in a daze. He was really annoyed. How could this person be more stupid than that little princess? "Let's go, don't you want to bring soup?"
"Oh, OK." Jiang Wan didn't know how she came to the West Courtyard. The person she had been thinking about day and night was right beside her, but she couldn't say a word. She was still a little scared of Yu Xun, but her heartbeat in her teenage years was like a shy bud that quietly took root. When she looked back, her beating heart had been bound by dense thorns, and she couldn't escape and didn't want to escape.
