Chapter 55 Melancholy
After finishing his work at the office, Wei Qing returned to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and went to his parents' courtyard first. He saw that his father was not there. Only his mother was in the room, sitting on a chair, talking to Nanny Zhen who was serving her.
After greeting his mother, Wei Qing was about to turn around and leave when his mother called him back.
Knowing that her youngest son was about to go to the Jindou Courtyard again, Madam Xu called him over and said, "Jindou was summoned to the palace by the Empress this morning."
"Into the palace?" Wei Qing was startled and asked quickly, "Why did the Queen summon Jindou to the palace?"
"I heard from the eunuch who came to announce the decree that Princess Jing'an in the palace heard from Imperial Physician Zhao that Jindou has superb medical skills, so she wanted to meet Jindou and learn from her," said Xu.
Princess Jing'an? Wei Qing was stunned. In his entire life, he had only seen Princess Jing'an once, when he was very young. At that time, he accompanied his grandmother to the palace to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager. In the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw Princess Jing'an, who was still being held in the arms of a nanny.
However, at that time, although Princess Jing'an was still old enough to be held in the arms of a nanny, her face was covered with a veil, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
I was very puzzled at the time, but later after listening to the conversation between my grandmother and the Empress Dowager, I learned that Princess Jing'an was born with a birthmark on her face, which was very scary, so she could only cover her face with a veil to avoid scaring others.
This was the only time he saw Princess Jing'an in the palace. So many years had passed, and if his mother hadn't mentioned it today, Wei Qing would have forgotten that there was such a princess in the palace.
"Also..." Madam Xu said to her youngest son Wei Qing, "Earlier today, the eunuch from the palace came again and said that Princess Jing'an wanted to keep Jindou in the palace for a few days."
Wei Qing frowned and said nothing more. After saying goodbye to his mother, he turned and walked out.
"Alas... we can't live without gold beans in this mansion now," Xu sighed and said to the nanny.
Today, after school, the Wei Yizhao and his brother went to Jindou's yard. Since they couldn't find Jindou, they ran to Xu's house again. When they heard that Aunt Jindou would not be back for a few days, they were very disappointed. The younger brother Wei Yizhong even made a fuss. Finally, after much persuasion, they were coaxed away by Yang.
Just now, the maid from the old lady's courtyard came over again and said that the old lady wanted to look for Jindou. After hearing what Xu said, she could only go back and tell the old lady that Jindou would not be back for a few days.
"Madam, in my opinion, the one who needs the gold beans the most in the mansion right now is the second young master," said Nanny Zhen with a smile.
"Yes," Xu nodded. As a mother, how could she not see it?
Originally, my son basically lived in the government office, and it was good if he could come back once a month. But now, as long as the Jinyiwei had nothing to do, he would rush back early.
"Madam, Miss Jindou is lovely, although slightly inferior to the Second Young Master in appearance. However, Miss Jindou is lively and has good medical skills. She and the Second Young Master are a perfect match," said Nanny Zhen.
"Yeah." Xu nodded again. After so many years, she no longer cared about her appearance. As long as her son liked her, everything was fine.
"But..." Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why do I feel that Miss Jindou has no interest in our Qing'er at all?"
"Don't worry, Madam," Nanny Chen comforted Xu, "Didn't Miss Jindou say that the person she would marry the Second Young Master would be her destined one? If that destined one is Miss Jindou, then she can't escape."
Here Wei Qing returned to his own courtyard, but did not enter the house. He sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. The servant in the courtyard saw the second young master coming back and hurriedly brought tea and placed it on the stone table.
Wei Qing poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Thinking that he would not see the golden beans for several days, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.
He stood up somewhat irritably, paced back and forth in the yard, and thought to himself: This Jindou is really heartless. He can eat and sleep well wherever he goes, but he makes me worry about him here.
"Alas..." Wei Qing sighed melancholy, feeling a sudden turmoil in his heart. It seemed he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
In the imperial palace, Changle Palace where Princess Fengyang lives.
Princess Fengyang lay on the couch with a gloomy expression. Her once beautiful face now looked much more haggard than before.
The palace maids and nannies serving beside her stood cautiously to the side, not daring to make a sound, for fear that one of them would displease the princess and be punished again.
Not long after, Princess Fengyang's personal maid Qingyan came in carrying a plate of exquisite pastries.
Placing the cakes on the table, Qingyan walked over to the couch, lowered her head, and whispered to Princess Fengyang, "Princess, I heard that Yuxiu Palace has invited a young lady in. I also heard that the young lady is quite knowledgeable in medicine."
"Oh," Princess Fengyang raised her eyelids and said with disdain, "That ugly bastard, haven't you given up yet?"
Reaching out her arm and letting Qingyan help her up, Princess Fengyang said with disdain, "This ugly bastard has truly brought disgrace to the royal family. This is a blessing for the Empress. If it had been born in someone else's womb, he would have been executed by our father long ago."
After hearing what Princess Fengyang said, Qingyan shuddered with fear. If such disrespectful words were to reach the ears of the Empress, everyone in the palace would probably be beheaded.
As the day of marriage to the Kingdom of Yue drew closer, his master's temper became more and more unpredictable.
Now everyone in the palace is trembling with fear all day long, fearing that if they are not careful they will offend the princess and be severely punished.
Alas... Qingyan sighed in her heart. She didn't know what this princess was thinking. What was wrong with going to the Kingdom of Yue to marry? The person she was marrying was the crown prince of Yue, the future emperor of Yue.
Princess Fengyang was also feeling depressed at this time. There was still more than a month before the day to go to the Kingdom of Yue for marriage, but she had no idea what to do.
Alas, if only that ugly thing could really have its face healed, I could ask my father to let her go to the Kingdom of Yue to marry on my behalf.
Princess Fengyang thought of this and hurriedly said to Qingyan beside her, "Have someone keep an eye on Yuxiu Palace at all times and report to me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes," Qingyan agreed with her head down, took a few steps back and walked out.
Even if it's on the imperial register for marriage, what difference does it make? I will never go to the Kingdom of Yue! Princess Fengyang bit her lip, thinking bitterly in her heart: Wei Qing, I'm going to marry you in this life!
