Chapter 901: We can’t just drag it on like this?
Luo Feng's eyes rolled, and he got it, so he began to complain, "Your Majesty, as the Minister of War, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial College, you have to deal with some matters of the Ministry of War, calculate a good day for the palace examination, and review thousands of examination papers with many ministers. Apart from drinking water, eating, and going to the toilet, you really don't have any private time at all."
After Mingzhu heard this, she was happy. So that's how it was. Why didn't she and the eldest lady expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen was so busy?
"So His Royal Highness Prince Chen is so busy."
"Yes, our prince was calling Miss Xie's name even when he was asleep. Poor our prince has such a sincere love for Miss Xie. Even in his dreams, Miss Xie doesn't seem to like our prince. Our prince was so sad and choked up. Really, I felt sad for him when I heard him."
Mingzhu: “…”
It turns out that the prince has such deep feelings for the eldest lady, "So that's how it is."
So that’s it?
Luo Feng is a smart guy, and the reason he was able to be with such an easy-going master like His Royal Highness Prince Chen was all thanks to Jian Wu's recommendation.
Jian Wu's only request to him was to help His Royal Highness Prince Chen solve his worries. What worries? Of course, it was the fact that the future Princess Chen wanted to cancel the engagement!
"Sister Mingzhu..."
Mingzhu paused, "Who is your sister? I see you are older than me."
Luo Feng laughed, "Yes, Miss Mingzhu, I am a bit abrupt, we are all worried about our master, why don't you say a few good words to my prince."
"My prince has lost a lot of weight while thinking about Miss Xie and busy with official duties. If Miss Xie ignores him after he finishes his official duties, my prince will be heartbroken." As he spoke, Luo Feng's expression was as sad as it could be.
Mingzhu felt a little sad when she saw this.
The eldest lady obviously likes Prince Chen, and Prince Chen also likes the eldest lady.
But why can't the eldest lady give birth? Even if she and Luo Feng help the eldest lady and His Royal Highness Prince Chen, what's the use?
What can we do about this child’s problem?
"Miss Mingzhu, our prince really wants to give his heart to Miss Xie."
Mingzhu looked at Luo Feng's sad expression and felt sad too. "Our eldest lady is the same. She has also been thinking about the prince these past ten days. However, our eldest lady has her own difficulties..."
"What's the reason?"
"This--" The eldest lady cannot have such a thing happen, and still cannot say it. It seems that Luo Feng is not aware of it. "Anyway, the prince knows about it, and I can't say more."
"So, Miss Xie has our prince in her heart?"
"Of course."
"Like our prince, are you deeply in love?"
"Of course, our eldest daughter has cried to the moon at night."
Luo Feng knew what was going on. It seemed that the prince and Miss Xie, this pair of mandarin ducks, would not be separated so easily.
"Good sister, you are so kind."
"You..." Mingzhu's face turned red and her heart beat fast because of Luo Feng's praise. How could this person be so smooth-talking? Is he really reliable? "Don't tell anyone else what I'm telling you."
"Good sister, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
Mingzhu took a deep breath and thought, today was such a mess. How could she not hold back and say everything?
Xie Zheng led the horse out from the side door and saw Mingzhu and Luofeng chatting about something. After they greeted each other, they went about their own business.
Mingzhu returned to the room, she was very careful, but Xie Ying still called her, "Mingzhu."
"Hey, sister."
She answered and carried the box over.
Xie Ying looked at the box and asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, Luo Feng just sent it over. He said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen asked him to send it over."
"Bring it to me and see."
"Oh."
Mingzhu was presented to him quickly, knowing that the eldest lady couldn't bear to leave His Royal Highness Prince Chen. On the one hand, she tried to resist, but on the other hand, she couldn't help thinking about His Royal Highness Prince Chen day and night.
What kind of evil fate is this?
"Luo Feng also said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen has been very busy as the Minister of War, Supervisor, and Priest of the Imperial College, and he has been busy reviewing papers with the adults."
Xie Ying just opened the box and found letters inside.
She opened the letter and after reading the contents, she blushed and her heart beat fast. Xiao Chen actually wrote these love poems to her.
She put the letter back into the box and looked at Mingzhu: "So, he's been so busy lately?"
"Yes, that's right. Luo Feng said that the prince is busy from morning till night. Apart from eating, drinking and going to the toilet, he is always marking papers. He only sleeps for three hours a day, and he dreams about my sister during these three hours."
Xie Ying: “…”
How come Luo Feng knows everything Brother Chen dreams about?
Mingzhu saw that the young lady was very interested, so she continued, "Luo Feng said that the prince always dreamed that the young lady was going to separate from him, and he was sad and upset in his dreams. That deep affection made me cry..."
Xie Ying: “…”
She frowned slightly, and felt a sharp pain in her heart. This feeling——
Besides, it is impossible for Xiao Chen to give her any marriage talisman or something like that, so why does her heart hurt so much?
"Miss, are you okay?"
Mingzhu noticed that Xie Ying looked unwell and hurried over to support him.
Xie Ying took two deep breaths, "I'm fine, I'm fine." She just wanted to separate from Xiao Chen, but when she heard Xiao Chen's deep affection, her heart ached.
Think about it, she said those heartless words again and again, I wonder if Xiao Chen would also feel such heart-wrenching pain?
Mingzhu poured her a cup of scented tea.
Xie Ying picked it up and took two sips, "I'm fine."
Mingzhu continued, "In short, Luo Feng said that the prince thinks about you all the time, Miss, but he is too busy to do that."
"No need to explain for him." Xie Ying still felt a little pain in her heart. She looked at Mingzhu and said, "Even if she knew, what would it matter?"
Mingzhu: “…”
"Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Chen say that the eldest daughter is the most important, and it doesn't matter whether there is a child or not."
Xie Ying smiled, "It's not important now, and it won't be important in the future? The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor all think it's not important?
Even if it is an ordinary family, if they don't have children, they will be criticized by others!"
Mingzhu was stunned and speechless.
"What should we do? Miss can't bear to leave him, but can't marry him either. We can't just drag it on like this?"
Xie Ying read two more letters and saw that the dates were one letter per day, exactly ten letters in total. Under the envelopes was half a jade pendant with a mandarin duck clasp.
There is no need to guess on the other side, you know it must be Xiao Chen who stayed there himself.
"Mandarin Duck Button." Mingzhu muttered, and then said nothing more.
Xie Ying looked over the letters and poems, touched the jade pendant, and did not dare to wear it, so he put it under his pillow.
Mingzhu watched the eldest lady treating the things sent by His Royal Highness Prince Chen like treasures, and thought that since both of them were so moved, how could they be separated?
Especially when he met Luo Feng for the second time, after Luo Feng made that decision, Mingzhu immediately decided that no matter what the future of the young lady would be like, he should just focus on how the young lady was happy now!
