After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite
Chapter 136 The Prince is Worried
The three of them arrived at Penglai Island and pushed open the door. They saw that the furnishings were still the same as before, the table was covered with dust, and the doors and windows creaked due to disrepair.
Jin Xi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to sweep the dust off the stool and told Zhen Huan to sit down first.
"Sir, there's not even a kettle in this room. Could you please bring one over for us?"
The father-in-law looked at the three of them with disdain in his eyes and snorted, "If there is no kettle, there are still pots and pans. You have to make do with what you have!"
"But..." Jinxi was about to argue but was stopped by Huanbi.
"Aunt Jinxi, given our current situation, I'm afraid... we'd better just make do with it for now!" She said, winking at Jinxi.
The father-in-law raised his head high and said contemptuously: "Did you see that? Now you are sensible. You were kicked out, and you still think this is your place? It's good enough to have something to use!"
After saying that, he turned around and left arrogantly.
Jin Xi felt a little embarrassed, but more importantly, she felt sorry for the young lady. In her eyes, it was a very common thing for servants like them to be teased.
She lowered her head and said guiltily, "My lady, it was my fault for being careless and causing you sadness."
Zhen Huan and Huan Bi exchanged glances and comforted her:
"What the father-in-law said just now is right. Aren't pots and pans used for cooking and boiling water? Now that we are here, of course we are lacking some things. Now is just the beginning. I guess life will be difficult in the future."
Jin Xi nodded gently, "I am not afraid of the hard times, I am just afraid that you can't bear such hardship. But we have already come out, there is no turning back."
After that, Huanbi was responsible for boiling water at the back of the house, while Jingxi helped Zhen Huan sit in the small room next to it and started cleaning.
In Prince Guo's mansion, A Jin told him the news that Huanbi accompanied Concubine Wan out of the palace.
The prince has been busy investigating the evidence of Longkodo's crimes these days and has not seen Huanbi for a long time. Originally, he heard that there was a disagreement between his royal brother and Wanpin. He thought that Wanpin was physically and mentally unwell due to her pregnancy and that the quarrel would be over after a little girl's quarrel. Who knew that the quarrel would escalate to this point.
"That's not right. Wanpin is well-educated and well-mannered. She doesn't seem like someone who would ruin her own future. Huanbi is also very smart and clever. It is impossible for her not to advise her and instead indulge Wanpin's temper. This matter..." the prince muttered in a low voice.
Ah Jin asked hurriedly, "Does Your Majesty think there is something wrong with this?"
Prince Guo glanced at A Jin, thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "My royal brother only said that Wanpin should live on Penglai Island and not go in or out, but he didn't say that the people around her can't!"
Ah Jin looked as if he had seen through it, "Your Majesty, could it be that you are thinking that Miss Huanbi lives outside the palace so that you can meet her?"
"Go, don't say that. I'm fine. Don't bring these words that ruin my reputation onto Huanbi."
Ah Jin raised his lips, bowed deliberately and admitted his mistakes, teasing:
"Yes, yes, Ah Jin knows he was wrong. Everyone knows that our prince would rather suffer injustice himself than let Miss Huanbi endure any rumors. In the future, I, Ah Jin, will keep my mouth shut!"
The prince didn't seem to listen to his words, his mind had already drifted to Penglai Island.
It is late autumn now, and winter will come in a few days. Penglai Island is located in the middle of the lake. The wind on the lake must be very cold in winter. I don’t know if Huanbi has brought enough clothes for the winter. Also, Wanpin has left the palace now, and I don’t know how the charcoal will be distributed in winter. If they don’t even have these basic things, their lives will be difficult.
It seems that he has to go there as soon as possible to find out what's going on with them.
Prince Guo sent A Jin to find out who the eunuchs were who delivered the gifts to Concubine Wan. He gave them some silver and asked them to bring a letter for him.
That day, just as the three men finished their breakfast, two eunuchs rowed a small boat to the shore.
The young lady said a few days ago that it was cold here, so she asked the eunuchs to take out the embroidery they made and sell it, and exchange it for some charcoal. I guess the charcoal delivery is coming.
Huanbi didn't have time to clear the table. She gave Jinxi a few instructions and hurried out.
"Miss Huanbi, all the charcoal you want is here." The leading eunuch changed his usual arrogant attitude and became respectful instead.
Huanbi was a little puzzled, and glanced down at the charcoal fire. "Didn't I ask you to send out only a few embroidery pieces? Why did you exchange so much charcoal? It's almost winter. Could it be that the charcoal fire has become cheaper?"
The two looked at each other and smiled flatteringly:
"Yes...someone thought your embroidery was delicate and unique, and they liked it very much, so they gave a lot of money. By the way, here is a letter. Someone asked me to bring it to you."
After the father-in-law finished speaking, he looked eagerly, waiting for Huanbi to praise them.
Huanbi opened the envelope, and before she completely pulled out the letter, she saw the peach blossom print on it.
It was sent by the prince!
She had been busy with the young lady's affairs these days, and only then did she remember that she had not seen the prince for a long time.
Just as I was thinking about it, two eunuchs carried silver charcoal and walked towards the back of the house, asking as they walked: "Miss Huanbi, is this charcoal in the kitchen?"
Huanbi understood. Could it be that the prince guessed that they were in a difficult situation and specially asked someone to add some coal to them? The reason why the two eunuchs were so respectful today was probably because of the prince!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
But the fathers-in-law are still waiting.
Huanbi pursed her lips and said, "Just put it in the kitchen. Thank you for your help, eunuchs!"
Back in the bedroom, Huanbi exuded a joy that was difficult for a little girl to conceal, and Zhen Huan saw it at a glance.
"But did the prince send something in?" She asked while sitting in front of the window, doing embroidery, with a very kind and gentle look in her eyes.
Huanbi nodded shyly and slowly took out a letter from her sleeve, "The prince didn't send anything, only this."
Zhen Huan and Jin Xi looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, we have nothing to do right now. Go and see what the prince said!"
Huanbi bowed and ran to the next room.
Zhen Huan felt very relieved, but at the same time she felt a surge of regret.
While winding the thread, Jin Xi said, "I think Prince Guo is a man of deep affection. Just now, the two eunuchs changed their attitude towards Huanbi and were very polite. It must be that the prince gave them some benefits.
We are in such a difficult situation now, and it is really rare that the prince is still thinking about Huanbi!"
Zhen Huan nodded in response, "Originally I wanted Huanbi to test the prince again, but now it seems that the two of them are in love and care about each other. After I give birth to the child in my belly, let them get married as soon as possible!"
