Pei Xiaoyuan knew that she had been delayed for a long time, so she hurried to the west hall of the front hall. As expected, she was already there, accompanied by Wang and others. She sat in the middle, listening to everyone's flattery. Those words were nothing more than how blessed the princess was, or how she and her husband were a perfect match, etc. She must have heard so much that her ears were callused in the past few days, but she was not impatient and seemed to be in a good mood.
Pei Xiaoyuan stopped at the steps outside the door, saw her expression through a roller curtain, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The maids and servants waiting inside and outside the door saw him, some ran over to greet him, some passed on messages. Then, accompanied by a flurry of footsteps and the tinkling of jewelry, she walked out, surrounded by a group of women.
Wang walked beside her, acting very cordially. She glanced at Pei Xiaoyuan and greeted him with a smile, "I said that Erlang was forced to stay by his uncle! When the old uncle saw his own nephew, he must have brought up many things from the past year. He is happy, but he doesn't care about the resentment the newlyweds have in their hearts!" Everyone around them laughed.
Pei Xiaoyuan turned a blind eye, his eyes fixed only on her who was standing in the middle of the steps. Wang Shi felt awkward because she could not get a response from him, so she stopped. At this time, another woman said, "There are so many of us, but the princess is the only one left in the eyes of the prince consort..." Wang Shi hurriedly smiled in response to hide her surprise and uneasiness.
Xu Yu said with a laugh, "Thank you for bothering me today. My husband and I will take our leave. Aunt, you don't have to see us off."
She walked down the stairs and passed by Pei Xiaoyuan. He followed. A group of women followed closely. Cui Daosi and others were also waiting for the princess outside. When she finally appeared, they hurriedly led people to line up to see her off. She smiled all the way out of the Cui Mansion and got on the car to leave.
Pei Xiaoyuan rode with him on horseback, and on the way, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He was glad that Wang's clever plan for this sinister and even more shameful meeting went smoothly without causing any suspicion or displeasure from her. He was even more suspicious about why Yuan Zhi would intervene in this matter.
With this position, he must have thoroughly investigated his relationship with the old people in Beijing before he came to Beijing. It would not be difficult for him to know the origin of himself and Wang Zhenfeng. Could it be that he really did a favor
The group returned to Yongning's residence, and it was already dark. Imperial Physician Hu was waiting early, just like he had done in the past few days. After everything was done, he changed Pei Xiaoyuan's dressings and examined him. He said that the wound had healed somewhat, which was a good sign. He prescribed a new prescription to promote new muscle growth, and told the prince consort to rest well, continue to refrain from eating, and especially avoid drinking. In this way, he would be able to recover in a few days.
Pei Xiaoyuan knew the extent of his injuries. Apart from the pain from pressing, he felt that he was fine, so he told the imperial physician not to come again tomorrow morning or night, as it would be too much trouble.
The doctor was grateful for the prince consort's understanding, but he did not dare to agree immediately. He refused and looked at the princess. At this time, the princess also said: "Just listen to the doctor. Since there is no serious problem, it is convenient for us to change the medicine ourselves. You can come every few days."
The imperial physician then agreed, thanked the princess and her husband for their understanding, gave them some additional instructions, packed up his things, and was sent out.
After the imperial physician left, He and her maids lowered the roller blinds behind the bedroom window, as well as the large, glittering pearl curtain, and left one after another. Finally, only two people were left in the bedroom.
