Chapter 553
Princess An thought for a long time and couldn't sleep at night, so she lay on Prince An's arm. She whispered: "Prince, Ah Ru has been with you for several years. You can't always let her be so nameless. Look, should you make her the concubine?"
King An reached out to rub her hair and smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"
Princess An couldn't hide her words and said unhappily: "Now, probably many people think she is Princess An, right? You rely on her. All the important things are entrusted to her to do. Her status in the mansion is far better than that of me. Many times I have to listen to her words to do it."
King An said softly: "Follower. I rely on her no matter how much I rely on her, she is just a slave. As for the position of concubine, how is it her turn? You don't have to worry about her in the future, just do what you think is right. What is she?"
"The prince and her..." Princess An sighed softly, "You have been together for a long time. She is so nameless and has no part. She is also wronged. It is better to give her a title and let her be wholehearted."
"Jealous?" King An asked with a smile by pinching her chin.
Princess An raised her head and her eyes were filled with misty eyes. "It's fake to say you're not jealous, but there's nothing you can do if you're jealous. You always need a concubine around you."
"Then I will not accept the concubine, I only have you in my heart." King An said, hugging her.
"Really?" Princess An asked, leaning in front of his chest.
King An said softly: "Of course it is true. Otherwise, after so many years, the concubine will have already started. I can have women outside, but you will always be the only one who has set the title. Do you still remember what I promised you when you got married?"
Princess An’s eyes were wet, “Remember, the prince said he would not take a concubine in this life.”
"Then you remember this sentence for your whole life." King An said docilely.
Princess An held his hand, and his tone was filled with happiness, "Do you know? I have always envied the deep love between the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu. The King of Chu promised not to marry his concubine and treated the Princess of Chu wholeheartedly. This is such an enviable feeling. However, now that I don't have to envy you, the prince is the same for me."
"Yes," King An heard King Chu's eyes instantly became gloomy, but his tone remained gentle, "You don't have to envy anyone. Everything I have done, all my achievements, and all my glory are yours."
Princess An was moved to tears and became more and more obsessed with it. "Will Aru ignore her?"
King An said lightly: "No matter she is, she knows her identity. If she passes the boundary, I will teach her a lesson."
Princess An said sweetly: "No need to teach her a lesson. She is sincerely doing things for the prince. I will not be in trouble if I suffer a little grievance. And she is also the prince's woman. She is a nameless person and is pitiful enough. Don't talk about her anymore."
King An looked at her and frowned, "Do you know that you can't be so kind-hearted and will be bullied? I am in Nanying now and can't take care of you in everything. You must be tough. Ah Ru serves me with the identity of a slave. To put it bluntly, even if you use it when you are inconvenient, you don't enter the room, don't go to my bed, and you even have to take Dezi Tang afterwards. You don't have to care about this. She can't get into my eyes. She is just a sensation of a counselor and a subordinate. You are the princess of this king and the status is noble. If she asks you to do this in the future, you will be scolded."
"I understand." Princess An then relieved her doubts and felt very happy.
However, she would not scold Aru. Aru did things for the prince. If she was just a loyal slave, what would it be?
Therefore, King An's promise made her polite to Aru and even willing to listen to her.
Seeing that the princess was becoming more polite to her, Aru thought that Prince An had emphasized her status and importance in front of Princess An and was more loyal to Prince An.
Aru found someone to invite Doctor Cao to speak.
Nowadays, most of the people who support King An are in important positions in the court again. In the past, if these high-ranking officials had patients at home, they would have received the honor to ask for the imperial physician. Therefore, there were a few who were familiar with the imperial physician Cao, and they would occasionally gather together on weekdays.
This time, the person who invited Doctor Cao to have a drink was Di Yun, the eldest son of Di Weiming, who was named the uncle of the country by Emperor Mingyuan.
Originally, it was the brother of the empress dowager or the queen who was named the national uncle, but Di Yun made contributions to protecting the emperor three years ago. After Emperor Mingyuan escaped, he appointed Di Yun as the national uncle on the spot.
The mother-in-law of the country's uncle suffered from myocardial infarction in the early years, so she always invited grace through the imperial concubine. The imperial doctor Cao had been there several times, and after a while, he became familiar with the country's uncle.
Now that the uncle of the country invited him to have a drink, there is no reason why Doctor Cao didn't go.
However, Imperial Doctor Cao is not a fool. Now the undercurrents between Prince An and the Crown Prince are floating very hard. Before he goes, he went to ask Yuwen Hao.
Yuwenhao said: "You go. If you ask about Madam Xi during the meal, you will say Madam Xi is indeed sick. However, you did not participate in the treatment. It was treated by the Crown Princess himself. You must say that Madam Xi lives in a separate yard and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
Doctor Cao didn't know what kind of illness Madam Xi had, but the prince's advice must have his intention, so he responded.
After meeting with Di Guojiu, he politely greeted him and immediately served the drink.
So quickly, just toasting, Doctor Cao was careful. After drinking for three rounds, he pretended to be a little drunk.
Seeing this, Di Guojiu put down his wine glass, said something rumored, and then asked, "By the way, I heard from the people outside that Madam Xi, who used to serve the Supreme Emperor, has now arrived at the Chu Palace to serve her. Is Lord Cao familiar with her?"
When Doctor Cao heard that he was asking about Madam Xi, he felt that the prince had the ability to know in advance. He nodded and said, "That's right, Madam Xi is indeed serving the Crown Princess. The officials occasionally say a few words to her, but they are not very familiar with her."
Duke Di laughed for a moment, then raised the wine pot and poured him wine, "I heard that she is sick, how are she cured now?"
Doctor Cao shook his head, "I don't know, the Crown Princess locked her in a small yard and did not allow anyone to enter or exit, so even the food was put in through the window."
When Duke Di heard this, he was surprised, "Why? What disease is this? He actually has to be closed and not allowed anyone to enter and exit? Could it be that he has tuberculosis?"
The imperial doctor thought for a while, "It doesn't look like tuberculosis. I haven't heard of her cough."
"It's not tuberculosis, what kind of disease is that? Why are you locked up?" Di Guojiu guided the half-drunk Yudian Cao, "This disease that has always been contagious requires isolation."
The imperial physician Cao suddenly changed his face, "When the uncle said this, he reminded Xiaguan of the fact that more than a month ago, the Crown Princess suddenly came to Xiaguan to ask about leprosy."
Di Guojiu's eyes moved and he continued to pour the wine toast, "Come on, have another drink."
Doctor Cao waved his hand, "I won't drink anymore, I can't bear to drink anymore."
Uncle Di stuffed the cup to him, "You can't get drunk if you're less than three or four pounds of alcohol. This is not the first time I'm having a drink with you. Don't give me face and have a fucked this cup."
Doctor Cao half-supported and drank another drink.
