Chapter 69 Princess's Visit

After being carried back to the other courtyard by Zhu Gaoshui, Qiaoyu lived in the other courtyard. Zhu Gaoshui also accompanied him and almost never returned to the royal palace. The two people are inseparable and have a good love. Under the careful care of Zhu Gaosuki, Qiaoyu's body has completely recovered after raising her for more than two months.

Autumn is coming, because I can't resist Qiaoyu's constant begging. In the cool autumn weather, Zhu Gaosui often takes Qiaoyu to Xiangshan to see the red leaves, and to the outer suburbs to see the farmers busy in the fields. Every time Qiaoyu is happy. Zhu Gaoshuai was relieved when he saw Qiaoyu coming out of the shadow. On days when she couldn't go hiking, Qiaoyu went to the palace to visit Ning'er. Two girls of the same age talked and laughed together without any grudge, which made others envious.

Qiaoyu did not go back to the royal palace with Zhu Gaosui. She was worried that doing so would make others mistakenly think that she was demonstrating to the princess with the emperor's consent and the prince's favor. I'm afraid Zhu Gaosu also thought of this meaning, so he never mentioned it. Qiaoyu often advised Zhu Gaosumi to go back to the palace to have a look, but every time she came back in less than an hour, and said suggishly, "It's all good over there. As soon as I sat down for a cup of tea, Tingjuan chased me back to take care of you.

On the fifth day of October, Mao Fuhai came in and reported, "Little lord, the princess is here. She is already in the front hall."

Qiaoyu quickly walked to the front hall accompanied by Fuhai. She was silent all the way, guessing the purpose of her aunt's trip and deliberately avoiding the prince. It seemed that she wanted to meet me alone.

Entering the front hall, Tingjuan sat on the upper chair, and Lan Xuan stood next to her.

Qiaoyu stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Bear concubine Qiaoyu, see the princess. Princess Jin'an!"

Tingjuan smiled and raised her hand to sign Qiaoyu to get up, "Qiaoyu, get up quickly and sit down!" Qiaoyu stood up and sat in the lower chair. "I heard that you are sick, I came to see you specially. But looking at your complexion, it should be better, right?

"If you go back to the princess, the concubine is just a minor illness with a cold, and she is now cured. Thank you, my concubine, for your concern. Qiaoyu answered faintly.

"Oh! That's it! If you have a cold, you can get sick at any time. If you don't pay attention, you will die!" Tingjuan turned her head and said to Lan Xuan, "You're still lucky!" He recovered so soon, not like Mochou... Alas!"

Qiaoyu's heart thumped, "Thank you, princess, for your concern!"

Tingjuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. She put down the teacup and ordered Fuhai, "Fuhai, you don't need to serve here."

"Yes! I'm leaving!" Fuhai withdrew respectfully.

Tingjuan asked with deep meaning, "Qiaoyu, do you know why the prince treats you like this?"

Qiaoyu didn't know how to answer for a moment. She said faintly, "When I reply to the princess, I don't know."

Tingjuan said quietly, "Because you are very similar to Anping Mochou!" He turned his head and looked at Qiaoyu and continued, "Ten years ago, the prince was seventeen years old and had just been crowned king. Emperor Hongwu is still alive, and today the emperor is still the king of Yan. At the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival that year, the prince was accompanied by Rongjing on a trip. At the Lantern Festival, I met General Fuyuan's fourth daughter, An Ping Mochou. This Miss Mo Chou, the same age as the prince, is young, lively, beautiful and beautiful. The prince fell in love with her at first sight. The next day, the prince entered the palace and asked the emperor's grandfather for marriage. Emperor Hongwu readily agreed, issued an order, and married after autumn. Since then, the prince has often visited General Fuyuan's Mansion. The prince privately gave his favorite Bodhi bracelet as a token to Miss Mochou. The bracelet was given by a master outside the world when the prince was born.

Through the sleeves, Qiaoyu subconsciously covered the bracelet with her right hand, and her heart was mixed. It turns out that I have become the shadow of others.

Tingjuan caught the strangeness of Qiaoyu, and a proud look appeared on her face. In early August, the general's mother died, and the general returned to Hangzhou with his wife and children. I didn't want to be on the way back. Miss Mochou was caught in the wind and cold, and she died soon after returning to Beiping. The prince couldn't stand a serious illness. Fortunately, he was treated by the old immortals and raised him for nearly a year before he gradually recovered. Tingjuan stopped and stared at Qiaoyu.

Qiao Yu smiled faintly and asked gently, "Has the princess ever seen this Miss Anping?"

"I had already entered the royal palace at that time, and naturally I had met Miss Mochou. The first time I saw you, I felt like I was acquainted with you. Yesterday, I suddenly thought that it was because you were a little like this Miss Mochou.

The room is very quiet and the atmosphere is a little awkward. Tingjuan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. She stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back to work."

Qiaoyu hurriedly got up and saluted, "My concubine sends the princess off!"

Qiaoyu respectfully sent the princess to the door. Don't tell the prince about Princess Fuhai's visit. I slowly went back to my room.
