Chapter 710 - 710 Princess
710 Princess
They were really amazing. Even though they were already rich and did not have to worry about money, they did not stop.
This was very good.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, Chen Hu, and Madam Qian had been supporting each other until now. They had to take things one step at a time.
They would always be worthy of admiration. Su Xiaolu felt very proud. She was happy for her parents. She was proud to have such sincere friendship, kinship, and tenacious beliefs.
Madam Zhao’s eyes lit up and she smiled. She was a little embarrassed to be looked at with admiration by her daughter. She said, “It’s not that amazing.”
“Yes it is, yes it is.”
Su Xiaolu hugged Madam Zhao’s arm. In her heart, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were like the bright moon in the night sky, bringing light in the darkness and illuminating their way forward.
As parents, they had done their best and had done a good job.
If not for the fusion of the worlds, this would be a good time for Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to start enjoying their retirement. But now, the world was forcing everyone to move forward and improve.
Madam Zhao smiled gently. Su Xiaolu’s strong approval warmed her heart.
At noon, Su Xiaolu had lunch and prepared to go out.
She wanted to see if there were any good herbs to collect and meet her old friends in the Imperial Hospital.
All Old Wu and Gui You did was cultivate.
Su Xiaolu had just come out of the pharmacy. She had bought a lot of good herbs and spent a lot of money.
However, she was earning a lot now. The prescription she left in the Imperial Hospital could help women get rid of body odor. It was loved by the people, so she had made a lot of money.
“Make way, make way…”
A group of foreigners rushed over. The commotion was so big that people avoided them wherever they passed.
Su Xiaolu watched from the roadside as a carriage and a few horses whistled past, kicking up dust. She waved her hand and swept the air in front of her. She saw the commoners surrounding them and discussing.
“That’s the princess from the Li Dynasty. Why is their hair different from ours?”
“They look good, but they have no manners.”
People shook their heads at the princess’s ostentatious behavior and unanimously despised it.
Su Xiaolu did not stay long and left.
It was still early, so she went to the Imperial Hospital to meet Qin Shoucheng.
“Miss Su is here. I haven’t seen you in a long time. Come quickly. I’m facing a difficult illness.”
When Qin Shoucheng saw Su Xiaolu, he smiled. He didn’t waste any time. After all, he didn’t have many chances to see the divine doctor.
When Qin Shoucheng was free, he liked to study the plague. Su Xiaolu had personally participated in curing a plague. There was no one who knew more than her.
As doctors, they were also afraid of plagues, but plagues needed to be studied.
It was almost dark when the two of them finished discussing.
Su Xiaolu left with everyone from the Imperial Hospital and went home.
After removing the burden on their shoulders, everyone relaxed a lot. Qin Shoucheng’s disciple was the first to speak. “Master, Mistress must have already prepared food for you at home.”
Qin Shoucheng stroked his beard and thought of his old wife. His gaze was gentle and he looked gratified. “Of course. We ate mutton yesterday. We should be stewing fish today, right? I heard from her this morning that she wants to buy fish to stew tofu.”
“Master’s wife really knows how to pamper you.”
His disciples’ eyes were filled with envy.
Qin Shoucheng smiled happily and said, “If you’re loyal and only marry one person, you’ll naturally be able to enjoy what I enjoy. Women are jealous creatures to begin with. The more you marry, the harder it will be for you to live in peace. If you want your family to be peaceful, the most effective way is to only marry one wife. It’s said that three women make a market and four a fair. Two women can’t tolerate each other, and one woman can’t act alone. The logic is very true.”
Qin Shoucheng chuckled.
“Master, the princess of the Li Dynasty has specially chosen our Wisdom King. Will this matter succeed? The princess is fiery and generous. Everyone says that men are afraid of women’s pestering.”
Someone suddenly said.
Qin Shoucheng pondered for a moment and shook his head. “The Wisdom King has always been quiet. Even the emperor let Princess Sindili do such a bold thing. It’s hard to say if it will succeed. Perhaps the Wisdom King likes that.”
Moreover, the emperor wanted Zhou Zhi and Sindili to have a marriage alliance, so he let Princess Sindili do whatever she wanted.
As a result, Princess Sindili lived next door to the Wisdom King’s Residence. In the entire court, Zhou Zhi and Princess Sindili’s marriage was just short of Zhou Zhi nodding.
“What bold things did Princess Sindili do?”
Su Xiaolu could not hold back her curiosity and asked. It seemed that something big had happened. What had the princess done?
“Miss Su, you don’t know this, but as soon as this princess of the Li Dynasty entered the court today, she offered a dance in the hall. She said that this was the Li Dynasty’s partner selection dance. In the end, she gave the flowers to the Wisdom King and said that she had chosen him. She said that she wanted to marry the Wisdom King.”
Qin Shoucheng’s disciple spoke about what had spread throughout the palace today.
Su Xiaolu felt a little nervous. She swallowed. “And then?”
The disciple continued, “Then, the Wisdom King threw the flowers on the ground, but Princess Sindili was not angry. She told the emperor that she had taken a fancy to the Wisdom King. She was here for a marriage alliance and asked the emperor to give her a chance. Give her two months. If she could not capture the Wisdom King’s heart before the new year, the emperor will decide on her marriage. The emperor agreed to this request and even specially allowed Princess Sindili to live next door to the Wisdom King’s Residence.”
“Moreover, the emperor has arranged an errand for the Wisdom King. During the two months that Princess Sindili is in the capital, the Wisdom King has the responsibility to accompany the princess to tour the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
Perhaps because Qin Shoucheng cared about Su Xiaolu and saw that Su Xiaolu was interested, the young disciple explained the matter in detail and added, “I heard that there’s a bet in the capital to see if the Wisdom King will be tempted by Princess Sindili in the next two months.”
“What does this Princess Sindili look like?”
Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and asked.
A foreign princess had a strong ersatz exoticism. The foreigners had deep eyebrows and sharp facial features. Coupled with some brown and flaxen hair, they were very beautiful, but there were also some who were not good-looking.
“I heard that her eyes are especially beautiful. They’re lake blue, like the sea. Her eyebrows are also beautiful, and she has dimples when she smiles. Her skin is snow-white, and her hair is like waves.”
The disciple described her seriously. In short, she was a beauty.
Su Xiaolu was a little depressed. That made sense. Those who didn’t look good usually wouldn’t come to seek a marriage alliance.
Would Zhou Zhi like her? He might like her.
After leaving the palace, Su Xiaolu hurriedly bade farewell. She was frustrated all the way back. She didn’t know why. In short, she had felt uncomfortable for no reason since she heard about the princess.
When she returned home, she was distracted during dinner. Everyone in the family could tell and there was worry in their eyes.
