Chapter 488 Visiting a Sick Person
Chen Afu then asked someone to write a note and send it to the princess's house, saying that he would take his children to visit the princess tomorrow.
Miss Chu now likes to be a guest very much, but when she heard that she was visiting that "bad woman"'s house, she pouted. Leaning in Chen Afu's arms, he asked, "Mom, can I not go?"
Chen Afu smiled and consoled him, "Don't be afraid, your grandfather is also in the princess's mansion. Princess Rongzhao doesn't dare to do anything."
Little Miss Chu said again, "Spring is here, why hasn't the golden swallow come back yet? It would be great if it were here, let it lead the bird pot lid to the princess's house to poop."
Ever since the swallows came, the little girl began to look forward to the golden swallows.
Chen Afu quickly said, "Shh, don't let others know that the bird pot lid is related to the golden swallow, otherwise the golden swallow will not survive."
Chen Afu reminded Xiao Shiyi and Miss Chu of this matter many times. The little girl was so anxious that she forgot her mother's reminder.
She quickly covered her mouth and said softly, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
At night, Chen Afu took Xiao Yu'er into the space again.
Jin Yan was able to go out at a young age. He was so excited that he even took Jin Bei out of the golden house. This is the first time Chen Afu has seen Jin Bei in such a long time.
Jin Bei's body is covered with feathers and is extremely beautiful. Its eyes were closed, but it could be felt that it was breathing, as if it was sleeping.
Chen Afu said happily, "Ah, Beibei is already alive."
Jin Yanzi chirped and said with a smile, "Yes, it's just that it has been sleeping. I tried many methods but couldn't wake it up."
It was almost midnight, and Jin Yanzi said that as soon as he went out, he would go into the palace to visit Stinky Dabao.
Chen Afu reminded, "Baby, please don't bring too many birds to the palace, let alone let the emperor know that the birds attacking Rong Zhao are related to us. Otherwise, the Chu family will be in disaster."
Jin Yanzi raised the corners of her lips and said, "I'm so smart, so of course I wouldn't do such a stupid thing."
When midnight comes, the black light flashes, and the golden swallow flies out of the space.
Chen Afu came out of the space to feed Xiaoyu'er's milk, put her into the space again, put Jinbei on her crib, and went to bed alone.
In a side hall of Siyuan Palace, Xiao Shiyi was sleeping soundly. Although he had his own palace, he still lived with Concubine Xian in Siyuan Palace because Concubine Xian couldn't bear to leave him.
He felt like someone was scratching his ears and nose. He rubbed his nose and ears and turned over to sleep. Golden Swallow continued to scratch with the tips of its wings, and finally woke up Little Eleven.
He opened his eyes, and in the tent, the light from the palace lantern was extremely weak. He still saw a swallow standing next to his pillow, smiling at him with the corner of its mouth raised.
"Jinbao!" He sat up suddenly and excitedly grabbed the golden swallow into his hand.
The eunuch serving outside the tent heard the voice and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to pay tribute?"
Xiao Eleven said quickly, "No, I was talking in my sleep."
The eunuch on night duty was puzzled. He was talking in his sleep and still sober? But I didn’t dare to ask more questions.
Xiao Eleven excitedly grabbed the golden swallow, put it under his nose and smelled it, and smelled its special smell, which was somewhat like the fragrance of his mother's body. He couldn't help being happy. In the future, he would often be accompanied by Jin Yanzi, and he would feel that his mother and sister were by his side, and his life in the palace would be much easier.
Jin Yanzi was so pinched that he rolled his eyes and didn't dare to scream. He was so angry that he cursed "Smelly Dabao" in his heart.
The next day, after Chen Afu led the children to finish breakfast and fed Xiao Yu'er, he sent the two brothers and Xiao Yu'er to Anrong Hall. The third master is not at home and his two sons are at school. The third wife likes to tease these children when they have nothing to do. Especially for Xiao Yu'er, if Chen Afu hadn't breastfed her herself, she might have been kept in Rong'an Hall by the third lady.
Chen Afu took care of himself and Miss Chu, especially the little girl. When the little girl was carried out of the princess's house, she was a thin little idiot, so pitiful. Now, she is not only healthy and smart, but also as beautiful as a little fairy.
The gifts for the Princess Mansion were prepared by the Foreign Affairs Office. Chen Afu would not prepare gifts for Rong Zhao by himself.
The carriage arrived at the princess's residence, and the sedan took them directly to the main courtyard where the princess lived.
Entering the courtyard, Miss Chu was instinctively afraid. Not only did he pull Chen Afu's hand tighter, his little body also pressed tightly against Chen Afu's body, following every step.
Chen Afu whispered comfort again, "Don't be afraid."
In the room on the east side, the Marquis of Chu, wearing a new and old green t-shirt, was sitting on the kang reading a book. Seeing Chen Afu coming with his eldest granddaughter, there was a smile on his face.
He put down the book and said, "The princess is in the room. Xuan'er-in-law, please go in. Yan'er is too young to be sick. Just stand at the door and say hello." After that, he got up and walked to the bedroom.
Chen Afu breathed a sigh of relief, this grandpa was really considerate. She also didn't want the little girl to get too close to Rong Zhao, not only for fear of overcoming the illness, but also for fear of scaring the little girl.
The girl standing at the door opened the soft curtain, and Mr. Chu walked in first. Chen Afu followed behind with his eyes lowered. Chu Hanyan was held by Nanny Huang and stood at the door.
The bedroom was very large, and the furnishings were extremely luxurious. After passing through several layers of curtains, I came to the couch painted with gold and inlaid with jade.
Rong Zhao was leaning on the couch, and because he put on some light makeup, he didn't feel that his face looked ugly. But his eyes were dull, his breathing was short, and he no longer had the original sparkle and arrogance. This is not only because of illness, but more likely because of heart disease.
The Marquis of Chu was sitting on a chair some distance away from the couch. Chen Afu approached the couch, bent his knees and said diplomatically, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness. I hope Her Royal Highness will take care of yourself and recover soon."
Rong Zhao wanted to see Chen Afu now, but was afraid to see Chen Afu. She wanted to see him because Chen Afu, her daughter-in-law, came to her to set the rules, which showed that Chu Lang was still her husband and the Chu family still respected her.
She was afraid to see him because she didn't want that woman's daughter-in-law to see her in such a mess.
So, she asked the servants to put on makeup for her, put on a pomegranate red dress that made her face look better, and wore a headdress and earrings inlaid with garnets.
She straightened her body and snorted coldly, "You are my daughter-in-law. You have been in Beijing for so long, why do you come to greet me now?" The voice was cold and slightly hoarse, without the sharpness and aura at the beginning.
Looking at Rong Zhao who was holding on, Chen Afu snorted secretly, saying that the emperor's daughter will never have trouble getting married, why do you bother to think about a man with a wife and make his family so miserable. Now, you and Ma Shufei have lost power, and the Chu family has risen. An unpopular princess without support is either a pawn or a discarded piece...
Chen Afu lowered his head and said, "Princess, when we returned to the capital, we were first busy preparing for the return of the 11th Prince to the palace, and then we were busy with the Crown Prince's trip to the south. Later, the 11th Prince often sent letters saying that he and the Concubine Xian liked the snacks I made..."
