Chapter 208: Gift to the Destined One
Chapter 208: Gift to the Destined One
Yuhua smiled, her lips were a little chapped, and Ye Youlan asked Dingxiang to pour her a glass of water.
"I feel much better these days, but I still feel weak and tired."
"Don't worry about taking the supplements in the palace. If you don't have enough, there are more in the palace. Women must treat themselves well. Can my eldest brother come to accompany you every day?"
A smile flashed in Yuhua's eyes: "General, you will come here whenever you have a break. You even talked to me for a while just now."
On the way back to the palace in the evening, Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince, what do the men talk about in the study every time they come back?
The Seventh Prince's lips curled up into a smile: "Drink tea, play chess, and talk about the affairs of the court."
"Today, I saw Yuhong holding her child and talking with her eldest brother in the yard. I felt very uncomfortable and felt sorry for her."
The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan's hand tightly: "As long as your sister-in-law thinks it's worth it, she got what she wanted."
Ye Youlan sighed, "How can I be willing to share my love for someone with another woman? Ultimately, I feel that my sister-in-law doesn't love my brother enough, and my brother doesn't love my sister-in-law enough either. Sigh, their images have collapsed in my heart."
"It collapsed already?"
Ye Youlan raised her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Isn't this called collapse? I like one person, and there is only room for this person in my eyes. If he looks at another woman for even one second, I will feel uncomfortable."
"You like me so much, but I don't seem to feel it."
Ye Youlan glanced at him. "I said I liked Li Zong and wanted to marry him before, but he was chatting and laughing with other girls. I wasn't angry at all because I didn't really like him and didn't have a strong possessive desire. But now that I like you, I'm worried about gains and losses. I'm worried about whether you'll change your mind, whether you'll marry a concubine, or whether you'll be tempted by a beautiful girl."
The Seventh Prince was a little surprised: "I didn't notice."
"It would be troublesome if you noticed. I didn't feel this way before, but now, maybe because I'm pregnant, I'm thinking too much. One can't be idle. Idleness can easily lead to problems. I have to keep myself busy so that I don't dwell on too many things."
The Seventh Prince hugged Ye Youlan and said, "The reason you have so many thoughts is that I haven't done well enough, which makes you feel insecure. I will pay more attention and spend more time with you in the future."
"No, it makes me look vulnerable."
"What's wrong with being vulnerable in front of me?"
Ye Youlan suddenly thought of something: "Didn't you notice that Ren Qishan is not in the capital? The capital has been much quieter recently."
"The calmer it is, the more terrifying it is. Ren Qishan is not someone who is willing to fail. Although the blunt knife hurts him a lot, it still didn't hurt his bones. Maybe he is holding back a big move!"
"Then you have to be careful. The emperor is a fox and wants you to block the knife for him."
"When the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked; when the bird is dead, the bow is put away. The court's game is not necessarily a life-and-death struggle. Sometimes it is about checking each other and reaching a certain balance. Regardless of the outcome, we will leave this place of trouble in three years."
Ruoyun asked Miaoyu to go to the temple to burn incense. They were a little anxious.
How about asking Youlan to join us?
I have to make an appointment with Youlan, Xiaoling and Yurou. Forget it, it’s just the two of us. Now there is no movement and I’m a little anxious.
Miaoyu nodded: "Zhang Liang's mother has written to ask about this several times."
The two went to pray to Guanyin for fertility and offered a large amount of money. When they were drinking tea in the temple teahouse, a well-dressed woman who looked particularly kind came over and wanted to give each of them a sachet.
"what is this?"
"I just saw you two ladies praying to Guanyin for fertility, so I'm sorry to bother you. This sachet contains herbs that can help you sleep, and there's also a talisman drawn by a high-ranking monk.
I once donated a lot of money and asked for three for my daughter-in-law. Last month, she gave birth to a fat boy. I came here today to fulfill my vow and give these two remaining ones to the right person.
Miaoyu took it, smelled it, and wanted to open it, but the woman wouldn't let her, saying it wouldn't work if she opened it.
"This is so precious, we can't take it for nothing."
The woman smiled and said, "I originally asked for ten taels of silver each, because my daughter-in-law is pregnant. I finally got what I wanted. Now, for those who are destined to be saved, you can give me some as a blessing."
Ruoyun was not short of money, so she asked the maid to give her twenty taels of silver.
The woman only asked for ten taels of silver and said, "This cannot be offered by others. It will only work if you offer it yourself."
Miaoyu also gave ten taels of silver.
The woman reminded me that it would only be effective if I put it under my pillow.
When the two were returning to the city, Li Chuang told them at the city gate that the princess was at the Mingyue Teahouse, so the two went downstairs and entered the teahouse. They saw Ye Youlan wearing plain clothes. She looked like an ordinary beautiful young woman drinking tea leisurely in front of a window in the corner. Opposite her sat the Seventh Prince. Although his clothes were ordinary, his noble temperament could not be concealed.
The two sat down. They hadn't seen Ye Youlan for a long time and were still a little excited.
The Seventh Prince asked, "Should I go to the side?"
Ruoyun smiled: "No need."
Ye Youlan looked up and saw Li Chuang coming in, so she asked the Seventh Prince to go to the next table. After all, the two tables were only one person apart, and if it were in modern times, they could easily share a table.
The Seventh Prince stood up and went over.
"What are you doing here? Are you going on an incognito visit?"
"I was bored at home, so I came over to check out the store and see how business was. You two went out of town together without asking me out, that's not very loyal."
Miaoyu blushed and lowered her voice: "We are going to worship Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, you don't need it."
Ruoyun smiled brightly. She covered her face with her hands and whispered, "I met a woman who gave us two sachets. She said her daughter-in-law prayed for it last year and gave birth to a fat boy this year."
Ye Youlan looked at the two people's smiling faces and said, "It shouldn't be a gift, it should be paid for, right?"
Miaoyu was surprised: "I'm sure you guessed it."
"The woman didn't sell it to us, so we can just give her some silver."
"How much did you give?"
"Ten taels each, twenty taels in total."
Ye Youlan couldn't help but laugh: "You two are not old yet, but you already have the awareness to buy health supplements."
What do you mean?
"It's nothing special. Take it home and hang it above your bed or under your pillow. If you are sincere, it will work."
Miaoyu nodded: "That's what the woman said."
Although the three of them spoke in low voices, the Seventh Prince and Li Chuang still heard every word, and both of them smiled helplessly.
A woman who gets pregnant becomes stupid for three years, and those who are not pregnant are also stupid.
The two had to drink tea to hide their embarrassment.
After returning home, Ye Youlan went to the studio to write something. The Seventh Prince came over curiously to see what she was writing.
"Draw a talisman, write a blessing phrase, and then put it in a sachet. Take it to the temple and ask an old monk to chant Buddhist scriptures. Even if it is blessed, it will definitely sell well if you hang it in the store."
"You need yellow paper and cinnabar to draw talismans."
"You're right. I'll make a draft first, and then find someone to follow it. I'll go to Nanfeng Academy and find a scholar with beautiful handwriting."
