After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 417: Take your daughter back to Chang'an

When Shen Luozhi arrived at He Mansion, he saw the Sanjin courtyard in front of him. It was the Qingming Festival, and the courtyard was full of peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and magnolia flowers. The Jiangnan courtyard was full of spring.

He Yue ordered the maids to prepare meals at a waterside pavilion in the courtyard.

The spring rain fell intermittently, but at noon there was sunshine and still rain.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luozhi said: "Sun Rain is rare."

He Yue said: "In Shanyin City, rain from the sun is still common."

Behind He Yue, He Zhifei looked at Shen Luozhi carefully. Shen Luozhi was the youngest left prime minister. He became prime minister when he was less than thirty. Now he has inherited the title of duke. He is less than forty. The man looked about thirty or so, with a very steady beard. Her father was much better-looking than she had imagined.

Seeing He Zhifei's timid look at him, Shen Luozhi chuckled and said, "Zhifei, don't be afraid of me. I came to Shanyin this time just to meet you."

He Zhifei said: "I'm not afraid of you."

Shen Luozhi said: "I heard from Yue'er that you liked my article before, but why didn't you like it later?"

He Zhifei said: "I just don't like it. Your article is not as good as Aunt Mingwang's."

Shen Luozhi chuckled and said, "I am her disciple, and her articles are incomparable to me."

He Yue said: "Lu Wanzhi is indeed talented, but she was still able to teach in the academy and win a place for women in the academy. After becoming the Princess of the Ming Dynasty, her talents were wasted. What's the use of writing good articles? "

"Mom!" He Zhifei tugged on He Yue's sleeve.

He Yue said: "I won't say anything anymore, let's have a meal."

Shen Luozhi said: "Lu Wanzhi has not been neglected because of her status as Princess Ming in recent years. You are in Shanyin, so you should know how many female students have come out of Qinglan Academy in Shanyin.

Lu Wanzhi taught Heyi and several other female students in Chang'an. She originally wanted Princess Heyi to be the heir apparent...but Princess Heyi...sigh. "

He Yuelue was surprised and said, "Doesn't it mean that she doesn't want her son to be the crown prince? It's all in the name of Emperor Jing'an, and she still wants to ascend the throne appropriately?"

Shen Luozhi nodded and said, "Well, it's just that Princess Heyi doesn't live up to expectations. She has to marry Zhao Ming. It's not easy to keep her position as princess, let alone become the heir apparent again?"

"How can siblings from the same clan get married?" He Yue said, "It's such a stupid fit. A child who was so smart and cute when he was young turns out to be so stupid when he grows up. Is it worth giving up the country for a man?

So, when Lu Wanzhi needed the Calming Pill that day, was it because Heyi was angry? "

Shen Luozhi didn't know that Lu Wanzhi wanted to take the Heart-Calming Pill, and said, "Absolutely. Speaking of the Heart-Calming Pill, do you know that her heart disease has not been cured yet?"

He Yue sighed and said, "Let's eat first."

Shen Luozhi saw their mother and daughter having a meal. Although He Zhifei did not grow up in Chang'an, she had never fallen behind in the etiquette that a noble daughter should have, even if she was taught by a nun who came from the palace since she was a child. None of the beautiful phoenixes could compare to He Zhifei's self-possession and elegance.

After a meal.

He Yue asked He Zhifei to take Shen Luozhi for a walk to eat.

He Zhifei was completely unfamiliar with Shen Luozhi, but he still led Shen Luozhi around the yard obediently. Seeing that the rain was getting heavy, he took Shen Luozhi to her study.

Shen Luozhi saw an unfinished painting in the study, stepped forward and said, "This is Cheng'er and Yue'er, this girl is..."

He Zhifei said: "This is Sister Hongshan. When I was a child, I was bullied by neighborhood children. It was Sister Hongshan who helped me. On the first day of the new year this year, the four of us went to the lake to set off fireworks. It was the happiest day of my life." , I want to draw it." Shen Luozhi said: "It's rare that you can be such a painter at such a young age."

Shen Luozhi looked at the books in He Zhifei's study and said, "Have you read all these books?"

He Zhifei nodded: "Yes."

Shen Luozhi said: "Did your mother teach you this?"

He Zhifei said: "Some of them were taught to me by my mother, and some of them were read by me in my spare time. I am weak and can rarely go out. These books are my greatest comfort when I am at home."

Shen Luozhi took out the poems written by He Zhifei. What surprised him was that He Zhifei was so talented at the age of 13.

It is said that Zhao Chengnai is a child prodigy who became famous at a young age, but his daughter is not inferior to Zhao Cheng.

"Zhi Fei, it's time to take medicine. Take a good lunch break after taking medicine."

He Yue entered with the medicine bottle. He Zhifei was happy today and was not squeamish when taking medicine. He swallowed several pills in succession.

Seeing this, Shen Luozhi couldn't bear to ask, "Do you have to take so many medicines?"

He Yue said distressedly: "This is already a rare thing. In winter, there are even more."

Seeing He Yue's worried look, He Zhifei smiled and said, "Dad, mother, I'm used to taking this medicine. I'm going to take a lunch break first."

After He Zhifei left happily, He Zhifei said to Shen Luozhi: "This child actually likes you very much. She is smart and has known about you for a long time. I don't know when she will buy your copybooks." , practice your calligraphy secretly, and buy the articles and poems you wrote..."

Shen Luozhi said: "I can't help her. I have known about her for a long time. I should have come to see her when she was young."

He Yue said: "I feel relieved to see her happy with you today. She needs Thousand-Year Ginseng for her heart disease. I haven't found it for a long time. If she can't take Thousand-Year Ginseng before she turns [-], I'm afraid she won't survive." , I want to go to Taibai Mountain to look for thousand-year-old ginseng myself.”

"What?" Shen Luozhi said in surprise, "Didn't she already eat thousand-year-old ginseng when she was young?"

"No matter how good the medicine is, it has its time limit." He Yue sighed helplessly, "Well, originally I thought that after she got married at the age of 15, someone would take care of her for me. Then I would go to Taibai Mountain to look for medicine. See you today. Come here, I want you to take her back to Chang'an and take her back to the Shen Mansion to take care of her, so that I can go to Taibai Mountain to look for medicine."

Shen Luozhi was happy when He Yue asked him to take his daughter away, but...

"Princess, Taibai Mountain is a bitterly cold place with heavy snow all year round. There are many wild animals, including brown bears, tigers and wolves. It would be too dangerous for you to go looking for ginseng."

He Yue sighed and said: "I don't know the danger. I have spent tens of thousands of taels of silver over the years to invite people to go. Each one of them either died, had no news, or gave up. They just do it for money and don’t look for it carefully. I want to look for it myself so that I can live a few more years with my knowledge.”

Everyone knows the dangers of Taibai Mountain. That bitter cold place is inaccessible to people, and even those who are exiled rarely go to that remote place.

Shen Luozhi said: "Princess, it's really too dangerous over there."

He Yue cried and said: "I have no choice. I can't just watch Zhifei suffer. You don't know how well-behaved and outstanding she is. I am willing to trade my life for hers. I can't let others take care of her." Don't worry, but you, I can rest assured, take your daughter back to Chang'an and take good care of her.

Zhifei will be fourteen in half a year, and marriage should be put on the agenda. She is in poor health. It is difficult to find a good husband in Shanyin City, but it is much easier to find a good husband in Chang'an City. "

The daughters of the city of Chang'an do not shy away from illness, and some families regard a girl's illness as a sign of her delicacy.

It is more or less easier for the daughter of the Shen family to find a marriage partner than for a shady daughter like her.
