Chapter 244 Chu Jun's Thoughts
It was already noon when they returned to the city, and the warm sun cast a bluish-gray hue on the bluestone slabs.
Shangguan Rui led everyone to the Yipin Pavilion. Lianxin saw them coming and stepped forward to greet them, "Greetings to the Third Prince, and to the County Lady."
"Lianxin, long time no see."
"Hello, County Lady and Young Master."
Shopkeeper Dong came over and greeted them, "Greetings to the Third Prince and the County Lady. The private room has been prepared for you. Please follow me."
Shopkeeper Dong turned sideways and gestured for invitation.
Shangguan Rui nodded slightly and walked ahead.
The entire hall was full and guests were looking at us with curiosity.
Just then, a man in gorgeous brocade robe came out of the private room and smiled when he saw Shen Xue.
"Miss Shen, what a coincidence that we meet here."
"What a coincidence, Master Chu is also having dinner here."
"Yipin Pavilion is very famous in the capital. I came here with my younger sister to try it today."
"How does it feel?"
"It's really good."
Chu Jun bowed and saluted, "General Chu Jun pays homage to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince."
"Mr. Chu, please don't be polite."
Shangguan Rui looked at Shen Xue in surprise, "How do you two know each other?"
"We met once on the way back to Beijing."
"Miss Shen, you're so polite. You're my savior. I originally had people asking around for Miss Shen, wanting to visit her and thank her, but I didn't expect that meeting here would be fate."
"Mr. Chu, you don't have to be so polite. It's just a small favor."
"What you consider a small favor is a life-saving favor to me. I will repay a favor."
Chu Jun pretended not to know Shen Xue's identity and quickly asked, "Where does Miss Shen live? I'll bring my elders to her house tomorrow to express my gratitude."
"Mr. Chu, you're really welcome."
At this time, Chu Li came over and her eyes fell on Shangguan Rui with admiration in her eyes. He was wearing a black robe with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, giving people a serious and solemn sense of mystery.
She came before Shangguan Rui and bowed slightly, "Your servant greets the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Princess of Ya'an County."
"Miss Chu, please don't be polite."
"It's rare to meet His Highness and the County Lady here today. Why don't we sit at the same table together? It will be more lively."
"Thank you Miss Chu for your kindness. This prince still has something to discuss with my younger brother. Manager Dong, lead the way."
"Your Highness, please."
Shen Xue nodded to them and followed Shangguan Rui to the private room on the second floor.
The way Chu Jun looked at Shen Xue made Shangguan Rui feel uncomfortable. How could he eat at the same table with them?
A refreshing aroma filled the air in the private room on the second floor. The room was elegantly decorated, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and flowers and fruits on the table.
"Your Highness, please."
"Manager Dong, please bring all the signature dishes."
"Okay, please wait."
"Xiaoxue, don't meet Chu Jun anymore. Three years ago, his brother Chu Yanchen spoke harshly to your eldest sister, and she sent him to the patrol camp for over ten days. He definitely has bad intentions."
"Brother Rui, we won't meet again in the future."
"He will bring people to visit your house tomorrow, you just need to deal with it hastily."
"it is good."
Soon, the dishes were served in a stream, all with enticing colors and fragrant aromas.
The Fourth Prince praised, "I've long heard that the cuisine at Yipin Pavilion is exceptional. Today, it seems the reputation is truly well-deserved."
"Fourth Prince, no matter how good the food outside the palace is, it is not as good as the chefs in the palace."
"You'll get tired of eating it every day, so it's nice to change the taste once in a while."
"It's delicious, eat more."
Everyone started eating and praised the food.
After the meal, Shangguan Rui ordered someone to send the Fourth Prince back to the palace. He was still a little reluctant to leave, so Shangguan Rui promised him that he would take him out of the palace to play when he had time in the future. Only then did he obediently follow the guards.
Shangguan Rui sent Shen Xue and her brother back to the Princess's Mansion. Shen Nan went back to his room to pack his things and report to the Imperial College tomorrow.
Shangguan Rui and Shen Xue sat in the main hall. "Xiaoxue, today the Emperor has entrusted me with the task of training the navy. I have to go to the training camp tomorrow and may not be back until the New Year."
"After I come back, I will ask my father to grant us a marriage. Before next summer, when the warships are tested, I will take you to the South China Sea to pay homage to Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu."
Shen Xue nodded shyly, and then said worriedly: "Be careful of a relapse of your leg injury."
"I will, when I get back."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. I also have to take care of the Royal Medical College after you leave."
"Don't be too tired, and remember to write to me."
When the eldest and second princes learned that the emperor had entrusted the task of training the navy to Shangguan Rui, they were filled with jealousy and secretly sent people to the training camp to trip Shangguan Rui up.
At noon the next day, the Princess of Chu brought her two children to the Princess's residence to express her gratitude. I invited them to the main hall for tea.
After a while, Shen Xue came over.
She was wearing a long white dress with plum blossoms embroidered on the hem, which made her look fresh and refined. A simple hairpin on her head further highlighted her beauty.
She has a pretty face, skin as white as snow, clear and bright eyes, and a lively aura.
Shen Xue came to the main hall and bowed slightly, "Your humble servant greets the Crown Prince's wife."
"Please excuse me, Lady Ya'an. You are my son's savior, and I am eternally grateful. I have brought Yun'er and Li'er here today to express my gratitude."
She gave a look to the maids behind her, and they immediately placed the gifts on the table.
"You are so polite, Princess. This is the proper thing for a doctor to do. You don't have to worry about it."
"The Princess of Ya'an is humble and polite, and she understands justice so well. I admire her."
"Thank you, Crown Princess Miao Zan."
"Princess Ya'an, when will the elders of your family come to the capital?"
"My grandparents are old, and they are not used to living in Beijing. At most they will come here to reunite during the New Year."
The Crown Prince's wife glanced at her son secretly, and her eyes had never left Shen Xue since she entered the room.
Which unmarried man in the entire capital city doesn't want to marry Shen Xue? Not only is she beautiful, but she is also the number one female saint of Da Qi, personally appointed by the emperor. How important is she?
The Royal Medical College was built with money from her elder sister, Princess Mu. After Princess Mu's death, it became her family's property. She is rich, beautiful, and capable, but most importantly, she has no roots in the capital. Such a daughter-in-law is easier to control.
The Crown Princess looked at Shen Xue with eyes full of love and admiration.
Chu Li intentionally or unintentionally asked Shen Xue about Shangguan Rui, but Shen Xue just brushed it off. She felt disgusted with the Chu family in her heart, but she just dealt with it simply on the surface.
After the Crown Princess left with her children, Chunyan and Xia Xin hurriedly reminded her, "County Lady, Young Master Chu might be interested in you. You should also be wary of Miss Chu. She's been trying to find out about the Third Prince, both openly and covertly, and her motives are not pure. Be careful."
"I know. You help me pack my things, and I'll go to live at the Royal College of Physicians. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell them I'm not home."
"The slaves obey."
The Chu family mother and son returned to the mansion, "Mom, what do you think of the Ya'an County Master?"
"Yes, my son has good taste, but her family's elders won't come until the Chinese New Year, so I can only wait until the Chinese New Year to ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."
"There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year, which is just enough time for us to get to know each other better."
Chu Li pouted and was a little dissatisfied with Shen Xue. When she asked her about the third prince, she always gave perfunctory answers, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her daughter's expression, the Crown Prince's Consort consoled her, "Li'er, I know you like the Third Prince, but your elder sister is the First Prince's consort. Only one girl in our Chu family can marry a prince, and in the future, the Chu family will only support the First Prince. So, quickly calm down and I'll choose a talented young man for you to marry."
"Mother, why can't the girls of the Chu family marry the princes at the same time? Even if the eldest prince loses power, there is still the third prince. Before, the third prince's leg injury had not healed, so I understand your pessimism about him. Now that his leg injury has healed, he has a greater chance of becoming the future king. If he ascends the throne through the power of our Chu family, wouldn't it be great for us to have a queen?"
"Li'er, you are still young and don't understand the politics of power."
"Why don't I understand? Isn't it that grandfather is determined to support the eldest prince to gain power? But the emperor may not think so."
"Your grandfather and your father commanded ten armies and defended Yizhou for decades. Your eldest sister's marriage to the eldest prince has already made the emperor wary. It's even more impossible for the Chu family to produce another prince consort. Just give up on this idea!"
"You can choose other young talents in the capital, but the Third Prince is absolutely impossible."
"Mother, you are biased. You agree that my eldest brother likes the county lady, but my love is not worth mentioning."
"Although the Princess of Ya'an was personally appointed by the Emperor as the number one female saint in Da Qi, she has no one to rely on in the capital. Even if she is rich and famous, it is only a glamorous appearance. No one is willing to help her when she encounters problems."
Chu Li ran away in anger. Chu Yun wanted to chase her, but was scolded by the Crown Prince's Consort: "Yun'er, don't bother with her. Let her know the interests involved, and she will figure it out."
"mother……"
"I usually spoil her too much, but matters concerning the fate of our family must not be decided according to her temper."
Shen Xue moved to the dormitory of the Royal Medical College to avoid being bothered by others, and she devoted herself to recruiting and teaching at the Royal Medical College.
Students from all over the country, many of whom had been doctors for many years, wanted to learn surgery. Some were passionate about medicine and came to the Royal College of Medicine to be assigned to different classrooms for teaching.
Some people simply cannot afford the tuition of the Royal Medical College. Shen Xue does not want to see them return empty-handed, so she finally discusses with Dean Li that those who have money can contribute money and those who don’t can contribute labor, using their own expertise and labor to offset the expenses.
Dean Li quickly reported to the emperor, who thought this method was feasible. The original purpose was to teach medical skills to every corner of Da Qi.
If they return empty-handed due to cost issues, it would be a betrayal of Princess Mu's original intention.
Everyone was full of praise after hearing this, and kept praising Shen Xue for her beauty and kindness.
After arriving at the training camp, Shangguan Rui devoted himself to naval training. He encountered many difficulties in the training camp, but he overcame them one by one and successfully formed an elite naval team.
When Shen Xue was not at home, Chu Jun sent people to deliver visiting cards to the Princess's Mansion many times, but was told that the Princess was not there. He did not lose heart despite being rejected many times.
The high-ranking officials in the capital saw that Shen Xue was famous and wealthy, and was an orphan. They thought that marrying such a woman would make it easier to control her and would also bring fame and fortune to the family, so they sent their servants to inquire about her marriage.
As the days passed, Shangguan Rui and Shen Xue were far apart from each other, but they missed each other very much and looked forward to the day of their reunion.
