After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

"Alas." The eldest princess couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, looking at the few strands of silver-like white hair in the mirror, which were flickering with a soft luster under the candlelight, reflecting her once beautiful but now slightly haggard face.

She stroked her hair gently, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Time is merciless. It has left marks on her face and taken away the youth and vitality she once had.

She closed her eyes, as if she could see herself when she was young.

At that time, she had black and shiny hair, bright eyes, and a heart that was once full of sincerity.

If the Marquis were still alive, would Yan An be less determined to join the army?

All the past events are like passing clouds, but now, she can only find the lost beauty in her memories.

The eldest princess sighed again, knowing that she could no longer dwell on the past.

She still has Yan'an and the Marquis' Mansion, and there are still many things to deal with. Fortunately, Jinhua is smart, and Yan'an really married a good wife.

Yucui had been waiting outside the door. She looked up when she heard footsteps.

Su Jinhua came slowly in white clothes, with Banxia holding the medicinal food behind him.

"Crown Princess." Yucui leaned over and saluted.

Su Jinhua nodded slightly, signaled Banxia to hand the medicinal meal to Yucui, and asked softly: "I made a medicinal meal for mother, I wonder if mother is asleep now?"

Yucui took the medicinal food and shook her head: "Your Highness has not fallen asleep yet. He is staring at the mirror in the room."

Yucui sighed after she finished speaking.

Su Jinhua frowned slightly. She knew that the eldest princess was feeling heavy-hearted and depressed. It was already late at night and if she didn't rest, she would be physically exhausted.

She pondered for a moment and thought of something.

Standing outside the door, Su Jinhua heard a low sigh coming from inside. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." The eldest princess' voice came from inside.

Su Jinhua pushed the door open and walked in.

The eldest princess withdrew her gaze from the mirror and looked at Su Jinhua with slight surprise.

Banxia and Yucui followed behind him, with Yucui holding the prepared medicinal food.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law prepared some medicinal food for nourishing the skin and replenishing energy, and came here specially for you to taste." Su Jinhua said respectfully, and Yu Cui immediately handed the medicinal food to the eldest princess.

The princess took the medicinal food and a rich aroma came to her nose, which greatly increased her appetite.

She took a bite and immediately praised it: "Not bad, Jinhua, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Su Jinhua responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, mother. I will definitely work harder."

The princess nodded with satisfaction and continued to taste the medicinal food. She was in a good mood. "This medicinal food is not only delicious, but also very beneficial to the body. You can take some tonic for yourself when you have time to strengthen your body. You don't have to take care of me."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. This medicinal meal is specially prepared for you."

The eldest princess sighed when she heard this, and looked in the mirror. Although her face was no longer young, it was well maintained and she still had her charm.

But time is merciless, and wrinkles and white hair still appear on her temples.

She sighed and said to Su Jinhua, "Jinhua, mother is old and her appearance is no longer young. No matter how much medicinal food she eats, it will be useless."

Su Jinhua looked at the princess, and understood her worries. She smiled and comforted her, "Mother, don't say that. Although medicinal food cannot completely stop the passage of time, it can help you maintain physical and mental health and delay aging. Besides, your face is not old."

"I feel that mother has only become more mature and elegant after years of experience. Whenever I see your face, I feel that time is a craftsman who makes you look more beautiful."

After hearing what Su Jinhua said, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with relief and appreciation.

Knowing that Su Jinhua was comforting her, she felt a little warm in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Jinhua, thank you for comforting me, but sometimes mother doesn't want to lose her composure, lest she lose her royal demeanor."

Su Jinhua said quickly: "Mother, you worry too much. As the eldest princess, you are like a pillar of support in the Marquis's Mansion. Who dares to offend your majesty?"

It has to be said that after hearing what Su Jinhua said, the princess couldn't help but sigh at her intelligence and understanding.

She knew that Su Jinhua was trying to cheer her up, and she felt very comforted. She smiled gently and said, "Jinhua, I will be relieved when you become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

Su Jinhua heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the princess' mood improve. "Thank you for the compliment, mother. But Jinhua still wants to enjoy a few more years of leisure."

"You!" The eldest princess of course knew that Su Jinhua did not want to compete with her for the title of mistress of the marquis's mansion, so she smiled helplessly.

Forget it, let her be. Anyway, she is in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now, and there is no difference between her and the mistress.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Jinhua saw that it was getting late, so he got up and left.

It was cold late at night, and as Su Jinhua walked out of the house, he couldn't help but tighten his cloak. He looked at the bright moon in the night sky and exhaled a breath of white air.

"Miss, watch your step."

Banxia walked forward and quickly supported Su Jinhua and walked back.

He did not forget to look back, nodded to Yucui, and gave a look to Zhuying who had been guarding outside.

Then he withdrew his gaze, and at the same time, Zhuying stuffed a purse into Yucui's hands with lightning speed.

She moved very quickly, and by the time Yucui reacted, there was a purse in her arms. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Su Jinhua and Yucui had already walked far away, and Zhuying hurried to catch up. She was like a shadow, appearing quietly at any time and place.

Although she was used to it, Banxia would still be frightened by her silent appearance from time to time.

"Sister, can you make a sound next time?"

Zhu Ying pursed her lips and said, "If you make a sound, you will be killed."

After Zhuying finished speaking, Banxia suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"What was killed?"

"Before, when we were escaping."

After saying that, Zhuying said no more and just followed them silently.

If she were wearing a nightgown and holding a knife in her arms at this moment, she would look like a cold and icy female knight.

When he arrived at the yard, Su Jinhua was about to enter the house, but stopped in front of the door.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Something's wrong."

On the steps at the door of the room, there is a small handful of incense ash, which is grayish white. If you don’t look carefully, you might think it is snow.

"Go and see if there are any holes in the window." Su Jinhua whispered, and his voice became colder.

"Yes." Zhuying reacted quickly and went to check the window.

Sure enough, I saw a small hole poked in one of the windows.

"There's a thief! Miss, be careful. I'll go call for help right away!" Banxia was frightened when she saw this and hurriedly planned to call the guards of the Marquis' Mansion.

"No need."

Su Jinhua looked at Zhuying, who immediately understood and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. The next second, he jumped onto the eaves and disappeared.
