The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Princess Zhao Xuan sat in the chair and imitated Gu Jinchu by throwing grapes into her mouth.

I found that wearing men's clothes was like being freed from all restrictions. The movements that seemed indecent before now not only flow smoothly but also make me feel extremely comfortable.

"What are you talking about? I thought I would see you at Zheng's house, but I didn't expect you to return to Xianghe so early in the morning."

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and smiled, "I missed my mother after being out for a few days. I was worried about her being alone at home."

It was because of her eldest cousin’s sudden question that day, and also because she didn’t expect Jiang Nansheng to be in Baodi.

I gave up the idea of ​​staying with my grandmother for a few more days and hurried back to Xianghe.

"It turns out that your uncle and your cousin have the same teacher, your cousin's wife's father." Zhao Xuan said, not noticing Gu Jinchu's mood change.

"My uncle is a man who values ​​rules the most. He said that since we are guests at someone else's farm and have accepted gifts, it would be too rude not to visit the Zheng family."

Gu Jinchu knew that the Jiang family attached great importance to rules. If the eldest princess hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that her cousin and Jiang Nansheng had a private relationship.

This was something she had never known in her previous life, even after being married to the Jiang family for five years.

Fortunately, she left, otherwise when the eldest princess and Mr. Jiang Wu came to visit, she would have seen Jiang Nansheng again.

Every time he saw him, or even thought of him in his mind, Gu Jinchu felt that his previous life was like a huge joke.

Zhao Xuan was observing Gu Jinchu when she said this. Her uncle attached great importance to visiting the Zheng family.

He put on his precious mutton-fat jade accessories, and looked even more handsome than the year he won the top spot in the imperial examination.

She seemed to have guessed something in her heart, but unfortunately her uncle was just visiting as he said, and even refused the invitation of the old man of the Zheng family to stay for dinner.

Thinking of Gu Jinchu's concern about her grandfather's health, she was silent for a moment before asking, "Your grandfather looks healthy... Didn't the Zheng family find a doctor for him?"

When Gu Jinchu mentioned her grandfather, the eldest princess's resentment gradually dissipated.

Her maternal grandfather was Duke Dingguo, a great hero in her heart.

Gu Jinchu smiled bitterly, "To be honest, my grandfather has no other discomfort except that he is getting thinner and thinner, but I always feel uneasy..."

My grandfather made a living by fishing with his family since he was a child. Later, he started a ship and did business, where he came into contact with some strange people in the world.

He also learned some Kung Fu from them. I can’t say how good he is at it, but it has kept his body in the condition of his youth.

Gu Jinchu's grandmother didn't take her worries to heart. She asked Tao Xuelin to find out. There was an imperial physician named Wu Jizhou in the palace who was best at treating difficult and complicated diseases.

Zhao Xuan frowned when she heard this, "It would have been better if you had said it earlier."

Gu Jinchu lowered her head and held her forehead. If she had made such a request when they first met, she would probably be regarded as a lunatic and then trampled into the mud by those people.

Zhao Xuan seemed to be talking to herself naturally, and without waiting for Gu Jinchu's reply, she said:

"Wu Jizhou of the Imperial Hospital was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, but unfortunately he passed away two months ago. He was originally from Nanzhili, and his family carried his coffin back to his hometown to mourn."

Gu Jinchu was so shocked that his voice trembled. "What did you say?"

The deceased imperial physician that the princess mentioned was exactly what she wanted!

Then who can come to save her grandfather?

Zhao Xuan saw her sad look and quickly spoke to comfort her:

"Don't cry, Chu Jie'er. Although Doctor Wu is an excellent doctor, he is old and has already passed on all his life's knowledge to his eldest son. Although Wu Zizhen is not as prestigious as his father, you can give it a try."

Neither Wu Jizhou nor Gu Jinchu had ever heard of it, let alone Wu Zizhen, who just felt a little confused.

Zhao Xuan looked at her tearful face, and seemed to see the frightened and helpless look on her and her mother's face in the past, so she comforted her softly:

"Chu Jie'er, listen to me."

"My grandfather was poisoned a few years ago, and it was Doctor Wu and his eldest son who cured him. It was only because Doctor Wu was so famous at the time that Wu Zizhen's talent was slightly overshadowed."

"But it's hard to say whether your grandfather is sick or not, and whether Wu Zizhen can cure him. But Nanzhili is not far from here. If you are not in a hurry, wait until the Dragon Boat Festival is over, and I will send someone to go with you to Nanzhili Wu's house to pick him up."

Gu Jinchu thought for a moment, then bowed to her and said, "Gu Jinchu would like to thank the princess. If there is anything I can do in the future, please ask me, and I will never refuse."

"The princess is also the benefactor of the Zheng family, and she will never make any more requests..."

......

Duke Dingguo was a rough man who came from a military family. He was a founding hero of the late emperor and ranked first among the six dukes. He held a red-lettered iron certificate bestowed by the late emperor.

After the court was stabilized, the late emperor felt sorry for him because he lost his wife in middle age and his children were left without anyone to take care of them, so he took the initiative to issue an imperial decree to grant him a marriage.

His second wife was the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy. Compared with the girls from aristocratic families, Chang's daughter was more talented and was proficient in poetry and songs. She was also a gentle, generous and dignified woman.

The two people, who were fifteen years apart in age, loved each other very much after their marriage, and Duke Dingguo never took a concubine or a maid again after that.

In the second year after their marriage, they gave birth to a daughter named Jiang Wanhui, and nine years later they gave birth to a son, Jiang Nansheng.

The son and daughter do not look as rough as the Jiang family. They have the beauty and good looks of the Chang family, and they have inherited the talent of their grandfather.

The predecessor of Yiku Palace was called Yongle Palace. At that time, Jiang Wanhui was a third-rank imperial concubine.

After giving birth to Princess Zhao Xuan, she was promoted to the rank of Shufei, and the Yongle Palace was renovated into a second courtyard, which the emperor personally named Yiku Palace.

The location is very close to the Qianqing Palace and the Yangxin Palace, which shows how much Emperor Wenzong doted on Concubine Shu.

When the weather starts to get hot, ice is already used in the Yikun Palace. As soon as you enter the main hall, you can feel the refreshing and comfortable feeling.

The head aunt Liu Yingqiu personally opened the curtain for the eldest princess. She was stunned at first when she saw her outfit today, then greeted her and said:

"Princess, the Queen is practicing calligraphy."

Zhao Xuan nodded, her steps became lighter, and her voice was unconsciously lowered. "Aunt Yingqiu, do you still have the cherries I brought back last time? I want to eat the ice fruit you made."

Liu Yingqiu was Concubine Shu's personal maid when she was in the Jiang family. She did not marry and did not leave the palace until she reached age. She has been with her master all these years.

Hearing the eldest princess' words, he looked embarrassed and whispered to her:

"How about asking the queen first?" Seeing her pouting, she continued, "I secretly put a bowl of cherries on the ice. Don't let the queen know later."

"What can't you let me know?" The woman spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

Zhao Xuan turned around and greeted her with a smile, "Mother!"
