The old lady was shocked, "She's coming?"
Zi'an looked at the old lady's excited face and said with a smile, "Yes, if she comes, maybe she can be my master."
The old lady sighed repeatedly, unable to hold back her joy. "I haven't seen her for many years. I suspected she was dead. I didn't expect she was still alive. How wonderful, how wonderful."
Zi'an stood up and refilled her tea on the coffee table, "Please continue."
The old lady was obviously still very excited. "I don't know much about Doctor Wen Yi, but it was very comfortable to meet and chat with her. She is the kind of person who... doesn't put on airs at all. She is gentle, wise, kind, gentle, and has a very, very good heart. She is like..."
The old lady tilted her head and thought about it. It was really difficult for her. She racked her brains but couldn't think of any good words to describe it.
Zi'an thought for a moment and said, "Like a Bodhisattva?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Actually, it looks like a female Bodhisattva, but this is also to distinguish it from the female Bodhisattva of Daxing State, Doctor Lin Haihai. I wanted to change it, but I couldn't think of it. However, it does look like a female Bodhisattva."
"Lin Haihai from Daxing?" Zi'an's head skipped a beat. This was not the first time she had heard this name. The first time she heard it, she felt very familiar. At that time, she was thinking, wasn't the granddaughter of Professor Lin, whom she studied Chinese medicine with, named Lin Haihai? She died in a car accident while seeing patients. When she heard the news, she was very shocked. That girl was really a good doctor.
But, could this Lin Haihai be Professor Lin’s granddaughter
"Lin Haihai of Daxing is truly a legendary figure. Even the Empress Dowager spoke of her with respect. This is very rare. At least, I have followed the Empress Dowager for so many years, and I have never seen her respect anyone so much."
Zi'an felt more and more magical. One day, if she could get away, she really wanted to travel to all seven countries and meet the legendary women in each country.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were the Empress Dowager and the Old Lady.
In the State of Liang, there was a minister named Wen Yi.
In Beimo, there is a female general named Qin Zhou.
In the Daxing State, there was a doctor named Lin Haihai.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, there was a person named Long Xing'er.
Seeing that she was interested, the old lady told her various legendary stories of the Seven Kingdoms. By the time Zi'an finished listening, it was already noon. She remembered that Old Seven had asked her to go back early, so she declined the old lady's invitation to stay for dinner, went to say goodbye to Liu Liu, and went back.
When we got back to the mansion and had just prepared lunch, the nanny said, "The prince hasn't come back yet, you should have some soup first."
Zi'an said, "Wait a minute, I'm not hungry."
"Soup won't fill you up, and you have to drink it every day." Nanny said with a smile, "I started cooking this soup early in the morning."
Zi'an wanted to tell her that the traditional Chinese soup is high in purine, but thinking of her sincere feelings, he just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."
"That's what I'm saying." Mammy turned around and told Xiaosun to go down and bring the soup. She went in and found a thicker plain brocade outer gown with dark cloud patterns and crabapple flowers embroidered on it. "It's much colder today than yesterday. Change your clothes."
Zi'an rubbed his hands, "It's true that the temperature dropped all of a sudden. I didn't feel it when I went out this morning."
"It got cold earlier this year. It's going to be a tough winter." The nanny sighed. "You're still fine now. When your belly gets bigger and it's harder to move around, you'll have to stay indoors. That's not good for childbirth."
Zi'an sat down, looked at the nervous look on Mammy's face, and comforted her: "It's okay, just wear thicker clothes, pregnant women are the same as ordinary people, if you are too nervous, you will appear delicate."
The nanny fixed her hair bun, which was slightly loose due to the autumn breeze. "A woman can only be spoiled a few times in her life. If she is not spoiled when she is pregnant, then when will she be spoiled? After the child is born, the child will be spoiled."
"How many times?" Zi'an smiled. "Are you asking me to have more children? Family planning is limited to one and two."
"What family planning? If you can have more children, you should have more. More children means more blessings. The princess is a blessed person. It would be better if she could give birth to several princes and princesses."
The nanny believed that only if a woman gave birth to children could she be valued by her husband's family. Now the prince seemed to be very good to the princess, but there was no guarantee that when the princess got older, there would be a few fresh girls who caught the prince's eye. At least she would have children to consolidate her position and would not be easily taken away by others.
Ma has seen too many stories about new and old people.
When she first saw him, she felt sad, but later she felt numb. Now because it was Zi'an, she had to use all her skills to prevent Zi'an from suffering such harm.
Seeing that Zi'an didn't care much about this question, the nanny continued to talk a lot, until she felt that she was being long-winded. She finally concluded, "Your own children are always better than others'. Although if a concubine gives birth to a child in the future, he or she will also have to call you mother, but there is a layer of separation, and it is not as close as your own child."
Xiaosun just came in with soup. When she heard what the nanny said, her eyes almost popped out. "Concubine? Where did this concubine come from? Is the prince going to establish a concubine?"
"Even for an ordinary man, having three wives and four concubines is common, not to mention the royal nobles. Our prince is such a noble man. Even the Prince of the Great Zhou can marry two concubines. There is no such thing now, and there is no guarantee that there will be no such thing in the future." The nanny became addicted to reading this. After all, it was this matter that kept her awake all night long because she was worried about it.
Xiaosun put the soup down and said, "Mammy, you always say I have a bad mouth. You keep complaining about this before it even happened. I hope you will come true in the end."
The nanny was stunned for a moment, then slapped herself, "Pooh, pooh, I won't say that anymore."
Zi'an felt that he needed to have a good talk with the nanny, otherwise, the nanny would really suffer from anxiety.
Just as she was about to say something, Lingli came in and said, "The prince is back."
Zi'an raised her head and saw Lao Qi leading a few people into the yard. She quickly stood up and tried to leave, but was stopped by Nanny. "Don't be in a hurry. Drink the soup first. They are here to serve the princess. Tell them to wait first."
Zi'an had no choice but to drink the soup quickly, and only walked out after getting the nanny's approval.
Murong Jie gave a few instructions in the yard, then turned around and saw Zi'an coming out. He greeted him with a smile, "You've come just in time, come and take a look."
Zi'an stood still, and the others came forward and saluted, "Greetings, Princess."
Zi'an nodded slightly, and Murong Jie pulled her aside.
There were eight people in total. Murong Jie meant that all eight had to stay, but she had to pick three or four to go out with Zi'an, so only those she liked were allowed. She would secretly protect the remaining ones and would mostly not show up unless there was a dangerous situation.
Zi'an listened to Murong Jie's idea and said, "You don't have to pick four to follow you. Two will be enough. Isn't Lingli following me? The rest can be trained as secret guards."
These eight people were all selected by Su Yue Lou. They came from famous and upright sects and were some of the most famous masters in the martial arts world.
When reading martial arts novels, we learn about those martial arts masters who travel the world and enjoy their lives, but they ignore the problem of having to eat.
Becoming famous is just to sell your martial arts at a higher price.
