After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

After waking up, Su Jinhua felt refreshed, and all the fatigue finally dissipated.

Since I didn’t take a bath yesterday, I asked Banxia to prepare hot water.

After the bath, Su Jinhua felt completely alive. He reached out to pick up the teacup, and lowered his head to find that it was a cup of brewed brown sugar water.

"Brown sugar water?" Su Jinhua was a little confused.

Banxia scratched her face and said, "Madam, this is what I took out of your bag. There is only a little left, and I thought I could make you a cup."

Su Jinhua rubbed the rim of the cup with her fingertips, and the scene of Gu Yanan throwing the bag of brown sugar to her appeared in front of her eyes again. She couldn't help but smile.

"Well, the weather is getting cold, so it's good to drink some brown sugar water." Su Jinhua lowered his head and took a sip, with a smile on his face that lingered for a long time.

"How is the situation in the mansion recently?"

Banxia hurriedly replied and told about what happened during the days when Su Jinhua was away from home.

The eldest princess’ illness has never been fully cured. She asked a doctor to see her, but he said it was liver fire stagnation and heart disease that was difficult to cure.

After she left, the affairs of the mansion returned to the hands of the eldest princess, but because of her illness, she was more or less unable to handle it.

Su Jinhua nodded and tapped the table with his fingertips rhythmically.

These are the things happening in the palace, there is nothing else important.

"Are you keeping an eye on everything going on outside the palace?"

"I'm always keeping an eye on it. I dare not slack off at all."

"If there is anything unusual, please tell me immediately."

"Yes."

Su Jinhua was a little bored, so he picked up a book beside him and said as he read, "Let's prepare a car to go to Putuo Temple tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

……

In the eldest princess' room, she was still reading her son's letter with tears in her eyes.

The words in the letter were very sincere. Gu Yanan said bluntly that he would eventually grow wings and fly out of the Marquis' Mansion.

He wanted to be a roc with spread wings, protecting the Marquis's Mansion and her, instead of being a bird under the wings of the eldest princess, living in a muddle-headed life.

He understood his mother's painstaking efforts, but the more he understood, the more he knew that he could not continue to degenerate like this. He also did not want to rely on his family background to do false and hypocritical things.

The eldest princess sighed softly, and at the end of the letter, she wrote about her daily life in the army, and how Liu Dashan was taking care of her and how they were living a good life.

He was careful about the serious injury, but fortunately, Su Jinhua helped him survive. He remembered this favor and felt guilty towards her. He hoped that his mother would take better care of her.

The traces of tears blurred the handwriting on the letter. She read it over and over again, and even when her eyes were blurry, she was reluctant to put it down.

Yucui held the handkerchief and handed it over again and again. She couldn't bear it any longer and persuaded him, "Your Highness is ambitious. A man should be ambitious to protect his country. It will be a good reputation if it is spread out in the future."

"Yeah, I know."

"I just can't bear to see him get hurt." The eldest princess put the letter away and looked at the brocade box.

"I understand his thoughts. I won't try to persuade him to come back, but I will send someone to protect him secretly."

The eldest princess gave Yucui a look, and Yucui immediately understood what she meant.

"But then again, Jinhua is someone who can endure hardships. He was able to endure such difficult conditions for so long and stay by my side day and night."

The eldest princess looked gentle as she rubbed the edge of the brocade box.

"It shows that she is sincere to my son. It's just a pity that as long as Yan An doesn't come back, the matter of having an heir will be delayed."

There was nothing anyone could do about this matter, and the eldest princess felt guilty about it.

"Bring some more things over later. Don't let her feel disappointed. Also, don't ask her to come to visit you every morning and evening. Let her have a good rest."

"Yes."

The eldest princess was tired and waved Yucui away.

In the afternoon, after finishing her work, Yucui went to Su Jinhua's courtyard with the eldest princess' reward and told him what the eldest princess had instructed.

Su Jinhua greeted Yucui politely, and before leaving, he asked Banxia to stuff a purse into his mouth.

Yucui raised her eyes and was about to say something when Su Jinhua smiled and said, "I have been learning needlework these days, but I always can't get the hang of some embroidery techniques. I heard that you are the best embroiderer in the mansion, so I would like to trouble you to help me take a look."

Yucui understood what he meant, accepted it politely and left.

After everyone left, Banxia patted Su Jinhua's shoulder and said, "Young Madam, now that you are back, shouldn't you also take charge of the family..."

Su Jinhua took a sip of tea and chuckled, "I've been away from home for a long time, and I just came back. It's inevitable that I feel unfamiliar with the management of the household, and my mother is ill. This is the most vulnerable time for the Marquis' Mansion. If we make a mistake, there will be a big mess. If I were my mother, I would not give up power so quickly."

Instead, take it slow and steady, which can also demonstrate her importance and ability.

Banxia thought about it and thought to herself that it was indeed true, and she was immediately full of admiration.

……

The next morning, Banxia prepared the carriage and headed for Putuo Temple.

The temple was shrouded in a thin mist in the early morning.

The sunlight shines through the ancient treetops, dappling onto the bluestone ground, adding a touch of warmth and vitality to this quiet and solemn space.

Su Jinhua took Yucui out of the car. The sound of the temple bell was deep and melodious, echoing in the quiet morning, which was thought-provoking.

Occasionally, the morning breeze blows, lifting the wind chimes on the eaves, making clear and pleasant sounds, interweaving with the bells to form a beautiful melody.

"Amitabha."

A young monk came forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, how can I help you?"

"Little Master, I want to pray for my family, and I also want to ask the abbot to help consecrate something."

"Please come with me."

Following the little monk, Su Jinhua first went to pray for blessings.

I took the red silk for praying, wrote down my thoughts on it, and hung it on the branch.

The old and simple branches are densely covered with red prayer silk, which rustles when the wind blows.

After doing all this, Su Jinhua went to worship Buddha again, and finally followed the young monk to the abbot.

Su Jinhua took out a sandalwood bracelet and handed it to the abbot.

Just by looking at the color, you can tell that this sandalwood is of top quality.

"Donor, wait a moment."

Su Jinhua nodded and signaled Yucui with his eyes.

Yucui took out a few silver bills and put them into the merit box in the main hall.

The abbot was surprised after seeing it: "Amitabha, the donor is so kind and merciful."

Su Jinhua bowed his head and bowed, waiting in the main hall with Yucui. They could faintly hear the sound of scriptures being chanted in the back hall.

Half an hour later, the abbot handed the bracelet back to Su Jinhua.

"Thank you, abbot."

"Amitabha."

After putting the bracelet back into the brocade box, Su Jinhua took Yucui back home.

It was just daybreak, and it was time to pay respects.

"Your Highness, the young lady is here to pay her respects." Yucui said outside the door.

The eldest princess' eyes were swollen from crying and she looked a little tired, but she was in much better spirits than before.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?" The eldest princess was confused, but still let the person in.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to the mother."

Su Jinhua came in carefully carrying the tray and bowed to greet him.

"You don't have to greet me every day. You just got back, so you should have a good rest."
