Chapter 1274 - 51: The Joyful Debt (Part 27)
From beginning to end, neither Marquis Dongxiang nor Mrs. Tang asked for Su Yang’s opinion, so naturally, they didn’t ask Princess Yinchuan either.
Mentioning the return journey, Princess Yinchuan’s eyes lit up.
Obviously, there was no need to ask.
Although Beimo is a thousand miles away from Daqi, it is Princess Yinchuan’s home, and no matter how far, arduous, or exhausting the journey home might be, she is willing.
Su Yang stared at his own father with wide eyes, wondering how his father could be so eager to have him take Princess Yinchuan back home.
They had only been back for a few days.
Su Yang wanted to protest, but seeing Princess Yinchuan’s joyful expression, he swallowed his words.
"I will make a trip to Prince Zhenbei Mansion to ask my sister for more medicine paste to take on the road," Su Yang said.
With Princess Yinchuan’s face going back to Beimo, he felt a pang of guilt.
Although King Beimo may have already known about how Princess Yinchuan was forced to walk and got tanned.
Princess Yinchuan was so busy being happy that she didn’t pay attention to her own face.
Princess Consort Zhenbei said it would take at least three months for her face to recover.
Even if they traveled slowly, they would still reach Beimo in three months.
The joy of Princess Yinchuan returning home was overshadowed by a cloud, fearing she might bring shame to Beimo.
Secretly, Princess Yinchuan shot Su Yang a glance.
Su Yang looked at her, and Princess Yinchuan quietly shifted her gaze elsewhere.
This matter... seems not to be entirely his fault.
She decided to walk herself; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten so tanned.
The generosity and understanding of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion left the Beimo Envoy in awe, no wonder the Emperor insisted on forming a marital alliance with the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Such considerate kinfolk are hard to find even with a lantern.
The Beimo Envoy stood up and said, "Then we will set off for Beimo in three days, and we shall first return to the Palace."
Princess Yinchuan rose to see them off.
She stood up unhurriedly, but her legs felt weak and her eyes a bit dizzy.
Unsure what time she went to bed last night, although she woke up late in the morning, she still hadn’t had enough sleep.
The Beimo Envoy expressed concern, "Is the Princess alright?"
Princess Yinchuan was thankful her face was dark; otherwise, she would be as red as a boiled crab.
After asking, the Beimo Envoy guessed what was happening, his old face slightly blushing but pretending not to know, "Please rest well, Princess, we shall take our leave first."
With that said, he quickly left.
Mrs. Tang gave her son a sideways look, hoping to soon have a grandchild.
Thinking about her son setting off in three days to escort Princess Yinchuan back, Mrs. Tang felt a bit reluctant.
Having him around was noisy,
but not having him around made her miss him.
However, Mrs. Tang overestimated her and Marquis Dongxiang’s tolerance for Su Yang.
They thought they could endure three days without wanting to beat him, but within less than two hours, Su Yang got beaten.
Hmm.
Who told Su Yang to seek trouble, daring to pin the blame on his parents’ foreheads?
During lunch, Princess Yinchuan still remembered what Su Yang had said, that his parents didn’t like it when girls ate too much.
But at the table, Mrs. Tang served Princess Yinchuan more food, encouraging her to eat more.
Princess Yinchuan said she could eat no more after half a bowl of rice.
Mrs. Tang said, "How could you eat so little? How can your body endure?"
Saying this, she placed a chicken leg in Princess Yinchuan’s bowl.
Eating too little makes one’s body frail; better to eat a bit more and walk around the garden a few more times.
Princess Yinchuan shook her head.
Mrs. Tang persuaded again.
Princess Yinchuan looked at Su Yang puzzled.
Why is it not as he said?
Su Yang lightly shook his head.
This small gesture did not escape Marquis Dongxiang’s eyes, and he frowned, "What’s going on?"
"It’s nothing," Su Yang shook his head.
Marquis Dongxiang looked at Princess Yinchuan, "You tell me."
With Marquis Dongxiang’s serious tone, Princess Yinchuan dared not look at Su Yang and said, "He told me that father and mother do not like it when girls eat too much, and that I should eat less..."
Su Yang, "...!!!"
Hmm.
The maids at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion heard Su Yang’s words and were originally going to complain to Mrs. Tang about him.
But seeing that Princess Yinchuan was eating quite a lot, they decided to keep quiet.
Previously, Xingxing ate a lot, and Su Jin had already halved her portions.
Princess Yinchuan, being a princess, could certainly afford to eat a lot, but eating so much would surely cause her to gain weight.
Asking her to eat a bit less was for her own good, so the maids decided not to complain about Su Yang.
Little did they expect that the maids hadn’t reported it to Mrs. Tang, but Princess Yinchuan spoke up herself.
Mrs. Tang was so angry she wanted to use a feather duster on Su Yang, "How much can Princess Yinchuan eat, do you want to starve her?!"
Su Yang quickly said, "Mother, I was trying to help her reduce her food intake...."
