The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 129 Recovery

These past few days, the Marquis' Mansion was bustling with activity, and everyone was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

The girl Yunxi was like a tail, always staying by the prince's side. Her eyes never left him, always paying attention to every subtle change in his behavior.

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window lattice, shining brightly on the prince's face.

Yunxi tiptoed into the room, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand.

"Prince, it's time to take your medicine." Yunxi came close to the prince, her voice soft and gentle.

The prince slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Yunxi, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up, and he said with a smile: "With you here, I feel that this medicine is not so bitter."

Yunxi smiled and quickly sat down beside the bed. She took a spoon and gently stirred the medicine. She blew on it while stirring and muttered, "Your Highness, this medicine is hot. Let me blow on it for you. Please drink it slowly."

The prince looked at Yunxi's serious expression, his eyes full of tenderness, and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the heat."

Yunxi glared at the prince and said coquettishly, "That won't do. If I hurt your mouth, Yunxi will be heartbroken."

The prince laughed heartily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."

Yunxi nodded with satisfaction and handed the bowl of medicine to the prince's mouth.

The prince took the medicine bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.

Yunxi quickly handed over a piece of candied fruit, and the prince put it in his mouth with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yunxi, I feel much lighter today." The prince said, his face brightened up, and he supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands and wanted to get up.

Yunxi quickly stretched out her hands to hold him down, frowning slightly, her face tense. "Your Highness, please don't move. You need to rest for a few more days."

The prince smiled helplessly, a smile that was filled with a bit of helplessness and anxiety: "This prince's bones are almost brittle from lying down all day. I feel uncomfortable all over."

At this moment, the maid Cui'er walked in with small steps and said respectfully, "Madam, the kitchen has made some snacks that the prince likes."

Yunxi nodded gently and said, "Bring it in."

Cui'er carefully placed the snacks on the table, then retreated with a lowered head.

The prince stared at the snack, his eyes suddenly lit up, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Yunxi pitifully: "Yunxi, can I have a piece?"

Yunxi hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said seriously, "Then His Majesty can only eat one piece."

When the prince heard this, he immediately laughed like a child, reached out and picked up a piece of dessert and quickly put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said with satisfaction: "Hmm, it still tastes familiar."

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Yunxi supported the prince with such care, as if she were protecting a treasure.

"Your Highness, please walk slowly." Yunxi warned softly, her eyes fixed on the prince's feet, fearing that he might make a mistake.

The prince looked up at the flowers and plants in the yard, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I have taken a good look at this yard."

As he walked, he ran into the butler, Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu came trotting over to the prince and bowed deeply in greeting, saying, "Prince, are you feeling better?"

The prince smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, I am much better now. I am sorry for worrying you."

Uncle Fu said, "Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven. This mansion cannot do without you."

Uncle Fu had a loyal and honest look on his face. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes looked like deep ravines carved by time, and his bent waist seemed to have borne the wind and rain of the Marquis' Mansion for many years.

He folded his hands in front of him, his tone full of sincerity and awe.

Yunxi said, "Uncle Fu, go ahead and do your work. I'll just accompany the prince."

Uncle Fu nodded repeatedly and replied, "Well, then I will withdraw first."

As he spoke, he slowly turned around, his steps slightly staggering, and walked away step by step.

The prince and Yunxi sat down on the stone bench in the yard. The breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.

"Yunxi, thank you for your hard work these days." The prince said, holding Yunxi's hand.

The prince's eyes were as gentle as water, staring at Yunxi closely, his eyes full of gratitude and affection.

Yunxi shook her head. "As long as the prince can recover, everything I do will be worth it."

A blush appeared on Yunxi's face. She lowered her head slightly, but a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

By the evening, the prince's spirits had improved.

"Yunxi, I want to practice swordplay," the prince said. His eyes gleamed with excitement, and his hands unconsciously made sword-dancing gestures.

Yunxi scolded, "Your Highness, you've just finished. You can't be so impatient."

Yunxi frowned slightly, her face full of worry, and she reached out and gently pulled the corner of the prince's clothes.

The prince smiled and said, "I feel like I have endless energy."

As the prince spoke, he stood up and shook his arms, looking eager to try.

Yunxi couldn't persuade him, so he had to ask someone to bring a sword.

The prince took the sword and drew it out with a "swish". His whole aura changed drastically in an instant.

His eyes were focused, his teeth were clenched, and with a flick of his wrist, the sword stabbed out like lightning.

The sword in his hand was like a dragon swimming in the air, with a heroic and valiant demeanor. Every move he made was vigorous and powerful, bringing with it a gust of wind.

Yunxi watched from the side, her eyes filled with joy. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and her heart followed the prince's movements.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself." Yunxi couldn't help but shout. Yunxi's voice was filled with anxiety, and his brows were twisted into a knot.

The prince put away his sword, his breath steady, "Yunxi, do you think I am completely healed?"

The prince's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his face was filled with a confident smile.

Yunxi stepped forward and wiped the sweat off the prince's forehead. "Prince, even if you're well, you still need to take care of yourself."

In the following days, the prince's appetite became better and better, and his face gradually became rosy as if touched by a spring breeze, and he was full of energy.

That day, the prince summoned the doctor from the palace. He sat down on a chair with a majestic look, raised his chin, and said, "Please take a good look at me. Are you healed?"

The doctor hurried forward, bent over, stretched out three fingers and placed them on the prince's wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully took the prince's pulse.

After a while, the doctor opened his eyes and smiled ingratiatingly, "Congratulations, Your Highness. You have recovered."

When the prince heard this, he burst into laughter, stood up suddenly, clapped his hands, and turned to look at Yunxi.

Yunxi's face was also full of joy, and her eyes were curved like crescent moons.

When everyone in the mansion heard the news, they cheered and rejoiced. The maids gathered together chattering, and the servants grinned and laughed.

"Yunxi, I can finally support the Marquis' Mansion again."

The prince said this, with his hands on his hips, his chest held high, and his eyes shining.

Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears, and she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Your Highness, this is a blessing for the Marquis' Mansion."

In the evening, the Marquis' Mansion held a sumptuous banquet to celebrate the prince's recovery.

The prince sat steadily in the main seat, while Yunxi stayed beside him attentively.

Everyone toasted the prince, and he accepted all the toasts. A concubine came forward, holding a wine glass, twisting her waist, and said in a gentle voice, "Prince, please take good care of yourself in the future."

The prince nodded and said loudly, "I will pay attention to it."

The banquet was filled with laughter and chatter, creating a lively atmosphere. Some told jokes that had everyone laughing, while others played finger-guessing games, the sound of which made the rafters vibrate.

The prince was also in high spirits, toasting with everyone.

After the banquet, the prince and Yunxi walked back to the room hand in hand.

"Yunxi, I've been so grateful to you these days." The prince held Yunxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Yunxi smiled and said, "Your Highness, we are husband and wife. This is what I should do."

The moonlight shines on the two of them, reflecting their happy figures.
