Tian Xun's illness kept coming back, sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse. The doctor had even invited Dr. Hu from among the famous physicians, but her illness just kept on coming back. Tian Chengzhong was so anxious that he almost wanted to hang himself. He had never been so attentive when he was guarding the border. He ran to Tian Xun several times a day, wishing he were a doctor so he could know what was wrong with this girl and cure her with medicine.
Only her mother knew what was bothering Tian Xun. As the weather gradually warmed up, she took off her thin coat in early spring and put on light silks of various colors. Mrs. Tian held her daughter's hand and sighed softly, "What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced. Xiao Xun, you have been smart since childhood. I just hope you understand this principle and stop being obsessed with it. There are many good men in the world, not only Your Highness is brave. Get well soon, and I will definitely choose a good husband for you."
But no matter how outstanding you are, if you are not Xiao Heng, how can you be considered Ruyi
Tian Xun turned his head away without saying a word. Madam Tian was exhausted and didn't know what to do. Tian Chengzhong ran in angrily and looked at Tian Xun's sick appearance with regret: "When will he get better? The Queen Mother has sent people to ask about it countless times. Why are you so disappointing?"
The eldest daughter is useless and the youngest son is obviously not good at studying. Tian Chengzhong now puts all his attention on the second daughter. He pays more attention to her than ever before and he wishes he could tie Tian Xun to his belt.
Tian Xun was too sick to be in high spirits, and heard Tian Chengzhong scolding Mrs. Tian who was trying to persuade him: "What do you know, woman? These days, the emperor's eldest grandson has been going in and out of the Su family frequently, saying that he was discussing the Yunnan rebellion with Su Rong, but everyone knows that Su Yao..."
Tian Chengzhong really thinks his daughter is useless.
If you really feel that there is no hope on Xiao Heng's side, then that's fine. The problem is to cheer up. Isn't the Fifth Prince still doing fine
At least she will be a princess in the future, right
Tian Xun lay on his side, tears streaming down his cheeks, and even his tongue tasted bitter.
Xiao Heng, who was being thought of, did not have such a heavy burden himself. He had been very busy recently.
Just as Su Yao said, the aftermath of Xu Shun's incident had not yet ended, and there began to be ripples in the court. When everyone was congratulating Yang Bo for finally getting his reward after all the hard work, for having killed Xu Shun and kicked out Xu Chong, and now being able to dominate the cabinet, an unexpected candidate appeared on the list of people recommended by the court - Cui Yuandao.
Cui Yuandao was a great scholar in the previous dynasty. He had a great reputation and status, and he was also a proud person. He was naturally a role model for scholars. Everyone wanted to worship him as a contemporary saint, but unfortunately, no one could invite them.
He suddenly agreed to the court's reinstatement, which was a pleasant surprise even to Emperor Yuanfeng.
The situation in the court changed suddenly, and Xiao Heng immediately thought of Su Yao's reminder. What happened now was exactly the change that Su Yao mentioned.
He shook his head decisively. Seeing Su Rong picking peaches, he felt rather bored: "I'm talking about serious matters. Can you please not pick those peaches?"
"No!" Su Rong turned around and said to the respected Grandson of the Emperor in his busy schedule, "Yaoyao and Fenfen both like to eat the peaches at home. Now that the peaches are at their best, I naturally have to pick some for them to taste."
Ah, it turned out that it was Su Yao who wanted to eat. Xiao Heng quickly forgot his boring thoughts and stepped forward to direct Su Rong in circles: "The one on the upper left is big and red. Ah, the one on the upper right, a little higher, is all red and looks fresh and juicy..."
Su Rong was so overwhelmed that he was in a panic. His head and robe were covered with peach hairs. He deeply suspected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was teasing him.
Fortunately, he was agile and soon picked a full basket of peaches. Each one was bright red and juicy, looking very mouth-watering. He jumped down from the tree, and someone came to the backyard to invite him in for dinner. Su Rong glanced at Xiao Heng and then remembered that it was time for dinner, but this prince showed no intention of leaving.
He coughed, and seeing that Xiao Heng obviously didn't want to leave, he scratched his head before inviting Xiao Heng to have dinner at Old Lady Su's Kangping Garden.
He also hurriedly sent someone inside to inform them.
Ever since he brought Xiao Heng into the study last time and saw Su Yao with her hair untied, Su Yao had ignored him for a long time. Now he has finally learned his lesson.
Fortunately, Old Lady Su and Master Su San were both happy to see Xiao Heng coming. When they saw the emperor's eldest grandson, they invited him to stay for dinner and quickly asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes.
Su Yao buried her head in her food. She always felt very uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Heng recently, and she was busy avoiding Xiao Heng these days.
Xiao Heng suddenly felt a little puzzled. The colder Su Yao was, the more he racked his brains to find some topics to talk about. He started talking about the study companion and asked Su Yao if he was ready.
Xiao Heng himself had a good relationship with the Fifth Prince, but his relationship with the Eleventh Princess was average. When he heard the news that Su Yao was going to be a companion, he went to inquire about the news for Su Yao so that Su Yao could be prepared and have a clearer understanding of the Eleventh Princess's preferences.
Talking about this matter, Old Madam Su and Mr. Su San took it very seriously. After listening carefully, they asked Su Yao to pay more attention.
No matter what happens outside the palace, any fault is just a matter of face. But it is different inside the palace. If you are not careful, you don’t know what trap you will fall into.
Talking about business, Su Yao felt a little less awkward. She listened carefully to Xiao Heng's words and had a rough idea of the Eleventh Princess's preferences. She pursed her lips and thanked him for his kindness.
Although she thought Concubine Pang was a smart person, it would be best if she could get along well with the Eleventh Princess.
She listened carefully and then thanked Xiao Heng solemnly for his kindness.
Xiao Heng immediately laughed: "It's just a piece of cake, you can do it by yourself."
Su Rong took the opportunity to talk about the cabinet selection issue that was being hotly discussed in the court. He frowned and looked a little worried: "Whether in terms of reputation or seniority, if Cui Yuandao is really reinstated, he will definitely be the cabinet replacement. The cabinet has always been based on seniority. If that's the case, Cui Yuandao will have to be ahead of Prime Minister Yang."
The most terrible thing is not these. Cui Yuandao is from the Cui family, and the Princess of Fenyang's surname is Cui. He may be the candidate put forward by the remnants of Xu Shun.
If he were allowed to be in power, then after Xu Shun was kicked out, Cui Yuandao would come in. What difference would it make from the past
"Then let Cui Yuandao not be promoted to the imperial court," Su Yao said with sparkling eyes, "I know a secret."
