Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Chapter 536 The stars in the south are bigger than those in the north

"I see. That's fine."

Zhang Xin couldn't believe that Zhu Gaochi was so meticulous.

"Why can't I see it again?"

Princess Ning couldn't help but ask.

"The master said it would only take three to five years. Don't tell the prince. The capital doesn't know about it. I originally planned to just pass by quietly."

Zhang Xin smiled and made a "hush" gesture.

"You, you! Why are you so troubled?"

Princess Ning felt a little disappointed.

Annan is far away, and communication is not easy. The last letter from Zhu Gaochi was during the Chinese New Year, in which he mentioned that Zhang Xin was going to go to sea.

But there was no further news.

This time they knew that Zhang Xin came because Lin San had sent them a message before leaving.

They waited here for two days before they managed to stop Zhang Xin who wanted to avoid entering.

I didn’t expect that Zhang Xin would become blind again.

She wanted to ask Zhang Xin when she saw her, but she was misled by Prince Ning and didn't want to talk about these things outside.

Now, seeing Zhang Xin moving freely, she wanted to cry.

"It's okay. I'll get used to it after being blind for so long."

Zhang Xin smiled. She was really used to it. Now, even without her sleeves rolled up, she wouldn't stumble.

"Humph, you are blind, why are you going out to sea?"

Princess Ning raised her hand and poked with a finger.

“In your lifetime, you must smell the sea breeze that you have never smelled before.”

"Hey! Do you want to be fed later?"

"Yes, Aunt Seventeen will feed me!"

"..."

"Hee hee hee--"

Naturally, no one talked during dinner.

After finishing their meal, the three of them moved to Princess Ning's open-air teahouse to drink tea.

"It's a pity that my niece-in-law can't see it. This teahouse was built by your Seventeenth Aunt. You can see the starry sky while lying on the mat."

Prince Ning glanced at Zhang Xin with a hint of regret.

She looks more ethereal than Zhang Xin before, but the most important thing, her eyes, are gone.

"Wanxiu said that the stars in the south are bigger than those in the north?"

Princess Ning arranged a very comfortable posture for Zhang Xin, half leaning against something like a pillow at the back, with her face facing upwards, so she could feel the breeze on her face.

"The south doesn't have the wind and sand like the north, the sky is clear, and it looks big."

Princess Ning held up a small fan to fan the red clay stove and answered.

"That's true. The stars on Mount Wudang are very big. It seems like you can pick them with your hands."

Zhang Xin could roughly feel what the sea looked like, and every time he meditated, he would have a vague connection with the stars.

"Is my niece-in-law now considered Master Zhang's apprentice?"

Prince Ning finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Not really. The real person said that we are close friends regardless of age difference, so we are equals."

Zhang Xin knew that Prince Ning must be curious, so she did not hide it.

"I think Master Zhang doesn't want to pay attention to us."

Princess Ning also said something.

She wasn't complaining, just curious.

After all, both their royal brother and the late emperor refused to meet.

"Those who practice Taoism pay attention to the law of fate."

Zhang Xin explained for Zhang Sanfeng.

"What is the fate between the eldest niece's wife and the real person?"

Prince Ning did not give up and continued to ask.

"Maybe we had some interactions in our previous life. The real person didn't say why he liked me."

Zhang Xin had no way of answering, so she just smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.

Seeing that Zhang Xin didn't say anything, Prince Ning didn't ask any further and started chatting instead.

The developments in the capital, the customs in Annan, and the outlook for future developments.

The three of them had a pleasant chat over tea and snacks throughout the evening.

When Princess Ning sent Zhang Xin back to the house to rest, Zhang Xin held Princess Ning's hand and quietly took her pulse.

Make sure she is fine before letting her go back to sleep.

When Princess Ning returned to the room, Prince Ning was still awake and writing something at the desk.
