Drunk Bamboo

"As the prince's elder, I have always felt guilty towards the princess. In fact, the palace should have prepared some gifts to send to Nanmi a long time ago, but since the princess entered the palace, many things have come up one after another, which has delayed it for a long time."

Mammy said this with a hint of guilt on her face.

Hua Qinfeng was surprised and said, "Madam, why didn't you tell me these things? Since it is customary to return home, I will take Xie Yuzhu back to Nanmi. It's a good opportunity to leave Zhongdu."

The nanny didn't say anything and just looked at Xie Yuzhu.

Xie Yuzhu knew that Mammy wanted to hear what she had to say, so she said directly:

"Yuzhu understands that Nanny has good intentions. The Xie family teaches and educates people, and never enters the government. For this reason, no one from the Xie family came to see me off, and I came to Zhongdu alone. Although His Majesty did not say anything, he must be unhappy in his heart, thinking that the Xie family is arrogant and noble, and even ignores the imperial decree to grant marriage."

"The prince has lived in the western frontier for a long time, and is not close to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is also very concerned about his straightforward personality."

"Your Majesty doesn't know the prince and I very well. If we leave Zhongdu right after we get married and stay away from your Majesty's sight, it will only increase your Majesty's concerns about the Xie family and the palace."

The nanny nodded with relief: "What the princess said is very true. The princess is considerate and thoughtful, and I feel relieved."

Hua Qinfeng was stunned: "Is it so complicated to go back to Nanmi?"

Xie Yuzhu asked: "Your Majesty, do you think it is easy to return to the West?"

He thought for a moment and answered, "Difficult!"

In the eyes of the nanny, Hua Qinfeng was still the prince who needed someone to take care of him in everything, so the nanny took care of many things for him.

But after interacting with him for a long time, Xie Yuzhu felt that he did not do everything wrong.

Because he thinks purely, without so many concerns and distractions, the decisions he makes are the most essential, simplest and correct.

"Since we can't visit my father-in-law in person, we must prepare more gifts. Lao Liu, ask the brothers of the Liu Gang to collect all the delicious and fun things from all over the world. Oh, and also famous paintings and antique books. Prepare one or two ships and send them to the Xie family."

Lao Liu asked calmly, "The one or two boats that the prince mentioned are big boats or small boats?"

Hua Qinfeng said decisively: "Of course it's a big ship. Is there any difficulty? Does it take a long time to prepare?"

Lao Liu hesitated for a moment: "It won't take long, but it seems..."

Xie Yuzhu took over the conversation: "Lao Liu, it's not seeming, but very ostentatious. My father would probably be frightened, and he might even think that the palace is extravagant."

She just wanted to give some jewelry to her eldest and second sisters. If Hua Qinfeng hadn't taken her to Feicuixuan, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to buy things to send back to the Xie family.

She thought that since she had bought it, she could just give it as a return gift. After all, when she got married, her eldest sister and second sister both gave her their beloved guqin and chessboard.

By the way, I found a few jade pendants in the warehouse for my father and cousin. I didn’t even prepare gifts for my grandfather and uncle, as those who practiced asceticism probably wouldn’t be able to use them.

Now, look what happens, they’re giving away whole boatloads of them. Isn’t that how the rich are doing?

Hua Qinfeng frowned: "Mammy can prepare gifts, but I can't? If I have to prepare, it can't be too little, it must be the most and the best. Only in this way can I show my respect for my father-in-law."

No one in the room raised any objection.

Xie Yuzhu tried to persuade him, "The gift is small but the sentiment is great. I understand His Majesty's thoughts, and my father can understand them too. What Nanny gave is what His Majesty gave. Your Majesty doesn't need to trouble Lao Liu to prepare something else."

Hua Qinfeng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said solemnly: "Xie Yuzhu, I am considering your reputation. You said that you don't often go out to see people in Nanmi, and your two sisters are better than you. The Xie family doesn't like Zhongdu, and they certainly don't like me as a prince. In the future, when your sisters get married, they can return to their parents-in-law and visit their father-in-law often, and everyone will say that they are filial."

"You are not in Nanmi, and I don't know what people will say. I didn't know about the past, but today you talked to Madam about it. Now that I know about it, I will do everything for you. Not only this time, but also every New Year and festival in the future."

"Although you are not in Nanmi, they often receive gifts from you, so they must be happy. They always say good things about you when they talk about you. They are usually truthful."

"The more gifts, the better. Of course, the more gifts, the better. If the gift is small but the sentiment is great, it's all empty talk."

He talked incessantly, and everyone was shocked after hearing his words.

Hua Qinfeng was puzzled: "What happened to you? Why are you all of a sudden silent?"

The air seemed to freeze for a long while before Bai Guo said in a daze: "Your Majesty...you said a lot."

Chaoyang's eyes were filled with tears: "Your Majesty... I am moved."

Lao Liu nodded: "Your Majesty... has grown up."

The nanny was satisfied: "Your Highness...very good..."

Hua Qinfeng: "..."

How much he had worried them in the past.

But Xie Yuzhu was not that surprised.

Yun Ling had only been in contact with him for a short time, so naturally she didn't have as deep feelings as others.

Xie Yuzhu was eating and said in a normal tone: "Your Majesty, you can only prepare one car. Give gifts twice a year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year."

"One car is too few..." Hua Qinfeng just raised his voice a little when he saw Xie Yuzhu's fingers gently stroking her pink chin, and his arrogance immediately subsided.

"Why not just not send me off?" Xie Yuzhu glanced at him with a smile.

"Send it, send it! One truckload is fine, twice a year is fine." Hua Qinfeng nodded immediately.

"Tell me in advance what you want to send."

"Okay, I'll tell you everything and won't hide anything from you." He agreed immediately.

Everyone's jaws almost dropped to the ground.

When did the prince become well-behaved and obedient?

That’s right, she is well-behaved and obedient.

The princess is indeed amazing.

After taking a walk and resting for a while after dinner, Hua Qinfeng and Chaoyang went to the martial arts training ground.

At this time, Qi Zhen came to visit Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu.

Hua Qinfeng was practicing martial arts, so Xie Yuzhu did not ask Lao Liu to call him specifically.

"See Princess."

"Hurry up, you are not wearing your official uniform today, so just think of it as a gathering among friends, don't be so polite. I won't call you Doctor Qi, I will just call you by your name, Qi Zhen, you don't think that's rude, do you?" Xie Yuzhu greeted him warmly.

Qi Zhen was flattered and lowered his head: "Your Excellency...I am honored."

He was dressed simply in a turquoise green robe, with an elegant air and a handsome face. He was in his thirties but looked to be only in his twenties.

"In fact, I have wanted to come to the palace to apologize in person for a long time. However, I felt so guilty that I dared not come. If it weren't for the princess's pulse diagnosis, I would have felt a little better after listening to her words and dared to come."

Xie Yuzhu said kindly: "It's all in the past, we won't mention it again in the future."

Qi Zhen took a sip of tea, raised his head slightly, and said awkwardly: "Actually, I have a small request. When the princess was treating the master, she mentioned that the prescription for heart disease was from a medical book. I went back and looked through a lot of medical books, but I couldn't find the prescription the princess mentioned. I would like to ask if the princess could lend me this medical book to take a look?"

"Naturally."

His eyes sparkled, and he couldn't believe she agreed so quickly: "Thank you, Princess!"

The next moment, Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "But it's not in vain to read books. Can you teach me how to take a pulse?"
