Chapter 741: Back to the light and back to the light?
Early the next morning, the palace's carriage had already stopped at the gate of Shen's mansion.
Old Mrs. Shen had just finished dressing up and was about to let Aunt Jiang comb her hair. When she heard a servant coming to report, she couldn't help but frown and said: "What does Prince Rui's Mansion mean? He comes here every two days to pick up Shu'er to play.
"Not to mention that Shu'er shouldn't go out and show off frequently before her filial piety period, and it is easy for others to make irresponsible remarks.
"As for Prince Rui's Mansion, it's also very strange. Aren't they not taboo about this at all?"
While combing her hair, Aunt Jiang said: "Prince Rui's residence is sparsely populated. Originally there were no concubines or concubines. Prince Rui became ill and his heirs were even rarer. Now there are only two, the prince and the princess.
"The princess is a girl and too young to play with her brother. Who would have thought that she would rarely lose her temper with our eldest daughter.
"You haven't seen it. Last time the princess came to the house to see the eldest girl, the old slave was curious, so he went over to take a look at her by giving her something.
"Good guy, guess what?"
Mrs. Shen asked without raising her eyes: "What's going on?"
"The princess came close to our eldest girl and shouted at Sister Shen, not to mention being affectionate!"
"Really?" Old Mrs. Shen was doubtful. "The princess grew up in the royal palace and was pampered by many people. How can she not have anyone to play with her? What's the matter!"
"Old lady, that's not what you said. You have forgotten that there is one person in the palace today who was suddenly praised as a popular figure among the emperor just because he fell in love with the eldest princess!
"So, the fate between people is really hard to say sometimes."
This current beloved concubine is somewhat related to Mrs. Shen's natal family.
The family was originally in decline, but unexpectedly it turned around again with the help of a daughter, and now it is even worse than Mrs. Shen's natal family.
"It would be fine if the princess just likes her, I'm just afraid..." Mrs. Shen didn't say the next words.
But I still couldn't help but beat the drum in my heart.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, be filial.
Shen Tianshu was born to be good-looking, but now he has a filial piety in his body. He looks plain every day and his clothes are mostly white.
Li Zian is now Mu Shaoai's age.
What if the two of them used the princess as an excuse to communicate secretly...it wouldn't be Li Zian who would suffer.
Aunt Jiang comforted her and said: "Old lady, you must be overthinking. The family tradition of Prince Rui's Mansion is strict, and the princess sent someone to pick him up. Princess Rui comes from the Yan family, and she is a family who knows etiquette and rules. Nothing will happen."
"What you say makes sense." Old Mrs. Shen still quite trusts Princess Rui's character. "At first, the Queen Mother originally wanted the daughter of the Yan family to be the Crown Princess, but somehow she was rejected by Princess Feng Rong. The concubine was snatched to be her daughter-in-law.
"Fortunately, the Holy Emperor didn't like people like Yan who followed the rules. Later, under the late emperor's decision, he made an appointment with Zhang, who had a better family background and better looks, so the matter was settled."
Aunt Jiang smiled when she heard this and said, "Look at the one who is favored now, and you will know what the emperor likes!"
While the two were talking, Mrs. Shen's hair had already been combed, and Shen Tianshu also got on the palace's carriage.
In the past, when the palace's carriage appeared outside the Shen's house, some people would stop and watch.
Now that I come here more often, people around me have long become accustomed to it.
Shen Tianshu arrived at the palace by car. When he got off the car, he habitually looked toward the second door.
When he saw that it was not Li Zian but Fang Fu who was waiting for him outside the second door, a hint of disappointment flashed through his heart.
Fang Fu seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shen Tianshu, he immediately took three steps and then two steps to come over and salute: "Miss Shen, come this way. The princess is waiting for you in a hurry."
When Shen Tianshu saw that Fang Fu's attitude was not quite right, and that Li Zian, who always waited for him outside the second door, was not here today, he immediately thought that there was something wrong with Prince Rui's health.
But since Fang Fu didn't mention it, she could only bear not to ask. After all, she was still outside and there were many people talking. It would not be a joke if someone heard her.
Shen Tianshu felt anxious and followed Fang Fu quickly along the familiar road to the main hall of the back house.
When he entered the door, he saw Princess Rui and Li Zi'an standing guard by Prince Rui's bed.
Shen Tianshu suddenly became nervous, trying to guess whether things were good or bad from their expressions.
Then she saw mother and son smiling at her at the same time.
Shen Tianshu's heart suddenly fell to the ground, he quickly walked forward a few steps, then carefully looked towards the bed, and met a pair of gentle and somewhat majestic eyes.
"Your Highness is awake!" Shen Tianshu was very excited, but he did not dare to speak loudly. He tried hard to suppress his joy, but he did not dare to step forward.
Li Zian nodded and said, "Yes, my father woke up suddenly last night, so I can only take the liberty to come to the door today and trouble you again."
He stood up as he spoke, preparing to give up his seat to Shen Tianshu and let her step forward to check for pulse.
Shen Tianshu hesitated in his steps. When he met Li Zian's questioning look, he whispered: "I'm dressed like this, won't I scare the prince?"
Princess Rui didn't expect Shen Tianshu to be so attentive. She was already very grateful to her, but now her affection doubled.
She stood up and took Shen Tianshu's hand to the bedside and said, "Good boy, don't worry. I told the prince about you before you came, and he knows."
As she spoke, she said to Prince Rui: "Your Majesty, this is the Miss Shen I told you about. She was the one who made you wake up."
Even so, there was still a hint of suspicion and scrutiny in Prince Rui's eyes when he looked at Shen Tianshu.
After all, hearing is different from seeing. He is also slow to think about things now. Suddenly seeing such a young girl, he really can't relate to the doctor who treated him.
Shen Tianshu said: "Let me check the prince's pulse first!"
The maid on the side immediately placed the pulse pillow and gently placed Prince Rui's hand on it.
Shen Tianshu spent a long time diagnosing the pulse this time, and checked the condition of his limbs, and finally said: "The pulse condition has not changed much compared to before, but this is not a bad thing.
"On the contrary, the prince has recovered well during this period, so he has been on the verge of waking up. Last night he finally broke through the last shackles, so he woke up, but he was unable to move or speak."
"It's a great joy for a person to wake up. You don't know how grateful my mother and I are to you." Li Zian looked at Shen Tianshu and said in a low voice.
Shen Tianshu noticed that he only mentioned him and his mother, but did not mention Concubine Fengrong and Li Zihan.
Is it because he is worried that Prince Rui's awakening is just a flashback, so he doesn't dare to tell the old and the young?
