The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 7 The Prince's Heart is Moved

The prince slowly regained consciousness from his coma. His body felt like it was falling apart, he was in great pain, and he couldn't move at all.

He struggled to open his eyes slightly, and seeing his trusted confidant Zhao Jia standing by his side, he asked weakly, "What am I doing..."

Zhao Jia hurried forward, his face full of anxiety and joy: "Your Highness, you are finally awake!

It was a girl named Yunxi who saved you."

The prince frowned, trying hard to recall the vague figure, muttering: "Yunxi..."

Zhao Jia continued, "Your Highness, Miss Yunxi is truly courageous and careful. When she treated you, she was so calm and composed, and her medical skills were quite exceptional."

If it weren't for her, Your Majesty, you would be in great danger!"

The prince was silent for a long time, his eyes dark, and then he ordered, "Go and find out who this Yunxi is."

A few days later, Zhao Jia came hurriedly and reported to the prince: "Your Highness, we have found out. Miss Yunxi is a concubine of the Marquis's mansion."

The prince listened and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, looking thoughtful.

"A concubine's daughter in a marquis's mansion? That's interesting." The prince's mouth curled up slightly.

That day, the prince felt a little better and began to stroll leisurely in the courtyard. The sunlight, like golden dust, evenly sprinkled on his handsome face with clear chiseled features, making his eyebrows and eyes look even more heroic.

He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe and a belt inlaid with beautiful jade around his waist, which made him look even more upright.

"Prince, do you want to take a rest?" Zhao Jia asked cautiously, bending over. His face was full of concern and his eyes were fixed on the prince, fearing that something might happen to him.

The prince waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "It's okay." As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and took steady steps.

As he walked, the prince's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene of Yunxi saving people that day. Yunxi's focused expression seemed to be engraved on his heart, and the thought of it made his heart flutter like a deer.

He frowned and said decisively, "Zhao Jia, prepare the car. I want to go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Jia was stunned at first, his eyes widened and his mouth slightly open, then he came to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness."

He turned around and trotted off to make arrangements.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Marquis's residence. The housekeeper, hearing the noise, rushed out with a smile on his face, his back bent like a cooked prawn, and his voice shrill and thin: "I didn't know you were so kind to come, Your Highness. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

The prince got off the carriage, raised his chin slightly, and said, "I am here to see Miss Yunxi."

The housekeeper nodded and bowed hurriedly: "I will go and inform them right away." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the mansion.

Over here, Yunxi was in her own small courtyard, concentrating on pruning flowers. She was wearing a light pink dress with a few delicate flowers embroidered on the cuffs. Her hair was simply tied in a bun, with a jade hairpin inserted in it.

Xiangling hurried in, panting, beads of sweat on her forehead: "Miss, the prince is here and wants to see you."

Yunxi paused with the scissors in her hand, frowned slightly, and muttered softly, "Prince? Why is he here?"

But he did not dare to delay, so he quickly put down the scissors, straightened his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror, and then followed Xiangling to the front hall.

Yunxi arrived at the front hall, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Greetings, Your Highness."

The prince raised his hand and said, "Miss Yunxi, please don't be polite."

Yunxi stood up and looked up at the prince. She saw the prince staring at her with sharp eyes and her face turned red.

The prince's gaze was like two torches, burning directly on Yunxi's face, making her cheeks feel hot instantly.

The prince said, "I came here today to thank the young lady for saving my life." His voice was loud and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Yunxi said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I just did what I should do." Yunxi bowed slightly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, her eyes flickering, revealing a bit of restraint.

The prince smiled and said, "Young lady is not only an excellent doctor, but also brave and kind. I admire you very much." As he said that, the prince took two steps forward, with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of sincerity.

Yunxi lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind." She lowered her head even lower, not daring to look at the prince. Her fair neck was flushed.

At this time, the wife of the Marquisate got the news and rushed over. She walked in hurriedly, twisting her waist, her face was thickly painted with rouge and powder, and the pearls and jade on her hair swayed with her movements.

"I didn't know that the prince was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me." The wife of the marquis said with a bow.

The voice was sharp and thin, with a fake smile on his face, but his eyes glanced at Yunxi from time to time.

The prince said, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite. I just came to see Miss Yunxi." The prince waved his hand with an indifferent expression.

The Marquis's wife glanced at Yunxi, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, and said, "It is an honor for the Marquis's family that the prince can come."

He said this with gritted teeth, and the muscles on his face trembled.

The prince spoke to Yunxi for a few more words before he stood up and left. As he left, he walked with steady steps, not even turning his head, his entourage following closely behind him.

After the prince left, the wife of the Marquis's mansion immediately changed her expression and said to Yunxi in a sarcastic tone, "Hmph, don't think that you can become a phoenix by saving the prince."

She put her hands on her hips and stared at Yunxi with a look as if she wanted to eat Yunxi.

Yunxi said, "Madam, you have misunderstood. I have never had such thoughts." Yunxi raised her head and looked at the wife of the Marquis with a firm gaze, but her voice still trembled a little.

The Marquis's wife snorted coldly and turned away. As she left, her skirt swung high in the air, and she muttered, "Little bitch, don't try to play tricks in front of me."

Yunxi stood there, biting her lip, her eyes slightly red. After a long while, she took a deep breath and slowly walked towards her own courtyard.

Yunxi returned to her own courtyard with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

After a few days, the prince sent people to deliver many precious gifts.

Xiangling ran in joyfully, dancing with joy and saying, "Miss, the prince is so kind to you!

Look at all these boxes, they are all rare and precious things!" Yunxi frowned slightly and said angrily, "Xiangling, don't make such a fuss, be careful not to let anyone hear you."

As she spoke, she walked over to the gifts and took a look, "Put all these away." Although she said this, Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little more curious about the prince.

That day, Yunxi went shopping and carefully selected jewelry at a small stall. Her slender fingers gently picked up a hairpin and looked at it in the sunlight.

"Miss Yunxi." A familiar voice came. Yunxi turned around suddenly and saw it was the prince. She quickly put down her hairpin and bowed respectfully, "Prince."

The prince smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be so polite."

The prince said, "What a coincidence, I meet you again." Yunxi raised her head slightly and smiled, "Yes, Your Highness."

The prince's eyes fell on Yunxi and he could no longer move away. His eyes were full of tenderness, "The young lady looks particularly charming today."

Yunxi's face flushed red, she lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, and whispered, "Your Highness is joking."

The prince laughed heartily, "I'm not joking." Then he walked to Yunxi's side and said, "Come on, girl, accompany me to stroll around the market."

Yunxi nodded and followed the prince.

The two of them were walking together on the street. The prince was tall and straight, with an imposing manner, while Yunxi was petite, gentle, graceful and beautiful, attracting the attention of passers-by.

The prince saw a man selling candied haws, bought a string and handed it to Yunxi, "Miss, try this." Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still took it, took a light bite, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.

Passing by a cloth shop, the prince stopped and pointed to a piece of light blue cloth and said, "This color suits the girl."

Yunxi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is not possible." But the prince didn't care and ordered the store owner to pack it up.

Along the way, the prince carefully selected gifts for Yunxi. Yunxi had no choice but to accept them one by one.

Back at the Marquis's residence, Yunxi's heart was beating like a rabbit. Xiangling came over and said with a smile, "Miss, the prince really cares about you."

Yunxi patted Xiangling's hand and said, "You are the only one who talks too much." But her face was filled with unconcealable joy.

The prince also felt that Yunxi was more and more different from others, and his affection for her grew deeper and deeper.
