Chapter 757 Visiting Princess Ming!
Even if the Empress and Princess Chang Le did nothing, the nobles in the capital were all speculating that, given the current situation, the Emperor was probably going to make Prince Chang Le the Crown Prince.
At this crucial moment, the Empress and Princess Chang Le made such a move, and everyone immediately understood what was going on.
After that, why would Mu Xin Nuan need to send out messages to anyone?
They brought their own visiting cards and went to their door.
Mu Xin Nuan was utterly exhausted from dealing with this. This kind of thing was hardly something to make her happy, and now that people of all ranks were coming to join in the fun, she felt even more annoyed.
Thinking that she hadn't seen Princess Ming since returning to the capital, her bright eyes sparkled, and she left the palace early in the morning.
Mu Xin Nuan first took a walk outside to get some fresh air before going to the Ming Prince's Mansion.
Mu Xin Nuan noticed that Princess Ming's complexion was not good, but Consort Luo's complexion was not bad.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong? You look so pale. Have you had the imperial physician examine you?"
"I've seen it, and there's nothing seriously wrong. It's just some chronic ailments from a few years ago."
"Second sister-in-law, when I went to the palace to talk with the Empress Dowager, I heard her mention you. She said that you are in poor health and asked me to come and take your pulse when I have time."
Princess Ming's expression faltered slightly, then a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
"Is that really what Mother said?"
"Of course! Do you think I'm here to flatter my second sister-in-law for no reason?"
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, she placed her hand on her wrist. After a long while, she frowned slightly and said, "Second sister-in-law, there's nothing seriously wrong with your health. You just need to pay attention to your diet."
"Yes, that's what the imperial physician said before."
Consort Luo glanced at the doorway and asked, "Sister, the bird's nest has arrived. Would you like to use it now, or wait a little longer?"
An old nanny immediately advised, "Your Highness, it's best to eat it while it's hot. Princess Chang Le is no outsider, she won't mind."
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled, "Second Sister-in-law, I wouldn't have minded originally, but didn't the imperial physician tell you that your constitution isn't suitable for consuming bird's nest frequently?"
Princess Ming was stunned, and Consort Luo, who was standing next to her, also froze.
"What does Princess Chang Le mean by this? Isn't bird's nest a tonic? Why can't my sister use it?" Consort Luo asked, somewhat surprised.
Mu Xin Nuan clearly saw a glimmer of light in her eyes, and smiled slightly, "There are so many tonics in this world, but not all tonics are suitable for consumption. When a person is deficient in Qi, they should take certain supplements; when a person is deficient in blood, they should take certain supplements. There are reasons for all of these."
Princess Ming wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this and reflecting on her recent health issues, she understood everything.
He sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. "Let's retreat first. We'll talk about it later."
"Yes, princess."
Mu Xin Nuan touched the Princess Ming's somewhat cold hand and squeezed it tightly. "Second sister-in-law, I'll write you a list later. It's all the things you can't eat. If you think my medical skills are lacking, I'll ask Doctor Zhao to come over and take your pulse."
"Look at what you're saying, just write it. Don't I trust you? As for Dean Zhao, there's no need to worry about that for now."
After exchanging a few words, Princess Ming dismissed Consort Luo.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much this time."
"Second sister-in-law, what are you saying? You are my second sister-in-law. However, I can list these things for you, but you still have to be careful. I'm afraid there might be some uncleanliness in your daily food."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This Consort Luo has been coveting my position as the principal wife for quite some time now. The fact that I've been able to sit firmly in this position all these years means that she can't easily shake my position. Over the years, I've also come to understand that men are just after sex and novelty, so let him be."
"Second sister-in-law, actually, the second emperor still misses you very much."
In fact, if the Crown Princess hadn't schemed against the Princess Consort of Ming multiple times, the Prince of Ming wouldn't have disliked the Eastern Palace, and the Prince of Kang wouldn't have had the opportunity to sow discord.
From this perspective, it's clear that King Ming wasn't entirely without affection for his wife.
"Second sister-in-law, I understand what Mother Empress means. Since we're returning to the capital this time, she's thinking of staying here for the time being. Father and Mother Empress are getting old, and they both want us younger generation to keep them company. If you have some free time, please go to the palace to talk with Mother Empress."
Princess Ming smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager wouldn't want to see me. You know, although the Prince wasn't involved in this matter, he still had a strained relationship with the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince is gone, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager..."
"You're overthinking it. Your mother isn't that kind of person. She understands the reasons behind many things."
Mu Xin Nuan said in a low voice, "If Second Sister-in-law hopes that Second Brother can cheer up again, she should go out more. At least let Mother know that you are a good daughter-in-law. Besides, Mother has been talking about the heir of your household, right? Take him with you."
Princess Ming was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Mu Xin Nuan to help her come up with ideas at this time.
"Sister-in-law, never mind. You were the last to join the family, but you are the most understanding one."
"Second sister-in-law, now out of the four sisters-in-law, only the two of us are left. To be honest, I've been on tenterhooks the whole time since Aze went out to avenge the Crown Prince. But, no matter how much unpleasant things are between men, they are still brothers."
Princess Ming suddenly remembered that Duanmu Chuze had reminded Prince Ming to return to his fiefdom.
If Duanmu Chuze had intended to harm the Ming King at that time, this would have been the best opportunity.
"Anuan, thank you so much."
"Second sister-in-law, you're exaggerating. You should clean up these things that shouldn't exist in your own residence as soon as possible. Even if you can't do anything physically, at least you should cut off those tentacles."
"Thank you, Ah Nuan. I understand now. I've been too careless these past few days. Come on, since you're here, I'll accompany you for a walk in the garden. We can also take a look at the flowers and plants that I've tended myself."
“Alright, since Second Sister-in-law is in the mood, Ah Nuan will naturally accompany her.”
The Prince Ming remained in his study, and when he heard that Princess Chang Le had come to visit her, he merely raised his eyelids slightly.
Later, when he heard that the two had gone to the back garden chatting and laughing, King Ming's expression finally showed a hint of curiosity.
Now, in this awkward situation in the capital, he never expected that Princess Chang Le would actually come to his door.
Thinking back to the warning from the man in black, if he still doesn't understand that it's the fourth brother's meaning now, he'd be incredibly stupid!
