Chapter 46: Making Friends (2)
Yinyin and Feng Qinghan were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot the time was passing. In the end, because it was too late, Yinyin asked Feng Qinghan to stay overnight at the [Prime Minister's Mansion]...
The next morning.
"What happened to the princess?"
Seeing Yinyin touching her forehead with her fingertips, Xiuying, who had just brought back some clean water, asked.
"Nothing, maybe it's been a while since I slept as late as last night, so I feel a little dizzy-"
"What?"
Seeing that Yinyin looked a little pale, Xiuying quickly put down the wooden basin and helped Yinyin sit on the stool.
"It's no big deal, you don't have to be so nervous—"
"I think it's very serious. You look a little pale. Let me take a look--"
Xiuying hurriedly felt Yinyin's pulse. Seeing how quickly she moved, Yinyin didn't even have the space to refuse. After a careful diagnosis, Xiuying reached out and touched Yinyin's forehead to measure the temperature...
"It's a little hot, princess, you should just rest at home for a day today—"
"But don't you know that I have an appointment with Master Feng? How can you go back on your promise to someone else?"
"I'm just going out for a walk. It's okay to go another day. Besides, the princess is ill, so Mr. Feng will certainly not blame her. The most important thing now is that you have to have a good rest—"
"Xiuying, you are making a big fuss. It's just that I didn't sleep well, which may cause my body temperature to rise. It will be fine in a while. Can you please stop treating me like a patient? I am either locked up in the palace or bored at home all day. Even if I am not sick, I will get sick."
"But--"
"No buts, that's it. I will still go out with Master Feng today. Don't tell anyone about this."
"Princess——"
"Please, I really want to go out for a walk. Relaxing my mind will help my condition, right?"
As soon as she saw Yinyin, she knew that she was determined to go out. Xiuying also felt helpless. It seemed that the task was very difficult. Why didn't she think Yinyin would act so spoiled before? Xiuying sighed: "Okay, but I will make the medicine soup later. You can drink it after breakfast before going out."
"I knew Xiuying was the most considerate of me——"
Yinyin smiled happily. Before, Xiuying only knew that Wang Ye always treated her like a child. Now she also had this feeling. Yinyin, who was a real lady in Diaoyu Island, now also had the innocence of a child. Although Xiuying didn't know Yinyin very well in the past, she preferred her now who could talk and laugh. Although she would occasionally fall into grief, Xiuying still felt that she looked more energetic when she was free of worries.
So, after finishing breakfast and taking medicine, Yinyin and Feng Qinghan went out together, accompanied only by Xiuying, Lei'er, and Feng Yan...
Along the way, although Yinyin was also a beauty, and Xiuying and Lei'er behind her were also beautiful, they were not as beautiful as Feng Qinghan. Yinyin had a face that could make men fall for her and women jealous, while Feng Qinghan had a stunning face that could make both men and women fall for her. Screams could be heard wherever the five of them went, and the source of the screams was Feng Qinghan!
"It's still so lively——"
The last time I came out was with Zhou Cheng. We were probably in a hurry at that time, so we didn’t see much. In addition, I rescued a young man, so I didn’t have any leisure time to sightsee leisurely.
"Yes, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, one of the two great countries at the top of the world, is completely different from other countries. Its prosperity is simply incomparable."
"Are the two great kingdoms Zhou and Zhao?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid that Zhao State is not as prosperous as it used to be."
"Is it because of internal strife and external troubles?"
"right."
What Yinyin thought about was that Zhou Cheng had originally intended to arrange a meeting with Zhao Ziheng, but he left before the meeting. Even if he had time to come to Zhou State, he would not have the time to stay for a longer period of time. Zhao Ziheng actually came to Zhou State at this time. I'm afraid there was something very important. As for what it was, Yinyin certainly didn't know, and it was unlikely to ask Zhou Cheng. Knowing the situation in Zhao State, Yinyin was a little worried for some reason, and was concerned about Zhao Ziheng's hard work...
"Then according to Master Feng's speculation, how long will it take for Zhao to recover its former prosperity?"
"The King of Zhao is a wise monarch now. If we look at the current stage, it will probably take at least a year. It's not a restoration to the past, but a better recovery than before. It just takes about a year to achieve."
"Oh? So, will Zhao be more prosperous than Zhou?"
"I'm afraid so. No, that's not necessarily the case. The current King of Zhou is a rare wise ruler. Since he took the throne, the Zhou Kingdom has also seen significant improvements. Especially in recent months, his reputation among the people has gradually risen. It is said that his benevolence surpasses that of all previous Zhou kings—"
"oh?"
Yin Yin was a little surprised to hear Feng Qinghan say this. She also admitted that Zhou Cheng was an extremely smart person, but he spent most of his time and energy on her. She thought he would neglect state affairs, but unexpectedly, he handled state affairs more carefully. It was really rare. Yin Yin really had to look at him with new eyes.
"Speaking of this, I feel that whether it is the King of Zhao or the King of Zhou, although they are still young, they have shown outstanding talents in governing the country and are wise leaders in the eyes of the people. I believe that it will not be long before the two countries will surpass the past. Even though the current power of Zhao State has been weakened a lot because of the disruption of the balance, I believe that as long as these two people work together, they will be able to re-establish the bond between the two countries, and it will be even better than before. By then, the balance between the two major countries that maintain world peace can be restored and become an unshakable balance to defend world peace . The world will surely be able to restore peace again and create a prosperous era!"
After hearing Feng Qinghan's narration, Yinyin couldn't help but recall what the abbot of Tai'an Temple had said. If it was true as Feng Qinghan said, would the two wise kings who were tied to the peace of the world really fight each other for her? From the surface, it can be seen that they are people who care about the people and know the priorities of things. It is unlikely that they would do anything stupid for her. At least from the current situation, Yinyin thinks it is unlikely. In this way, the words of the abbot of Tai'an Temple are nothing more than bragging and unpleasant words, not to mention that he has no basis.
