Chapter 337 Change of Words
Ling Chu thought that the prince, princess and Han Lin would move back to the palace after living there for more than ten days.
But after waiting for a long time, they showed no intention of moving back.
The princess tried to get Ling Chu to move back to the palace with them.
After being rejected by Ling Chu, although she was disappointed, she did not force her.
She would only bring it up again after a day or two.
That day, the prince happened to be on leave, and the four of them were sitting together drinking tea after having breakfast.
The princess saw that Ling Chu's face had finally gained a little more flesh under her care recently, and she was both relieved and distressed.
Seeing that her face was fine, the princess endured it and brought up the old topic again.
Unexpectedly, Ling Chu hadn't said anything before she finished speaking.
The prince said, "This house is nice, quiet, and not far from the Imperial Street. It's nice to live here."
The prince said calmly.
The princess glared at him.
Han Lin paused with the teacup in his hand and looked at the prince in surprise.
His father was clearly looking forward to Ling Chu going back to the palace with them, so why did he suddenly object?
Ling Chu was also curious.
Seeing that the princess was about to get angry, the prince had to smile soothingly, "Although there are still many courtyards in the palace, there is no place suitable for Chu Chu to live.
I thought that those courtyards were either far away or the scenery was not good enough, so I just had Yaoguang Pavilion demolished."
The princess was stunned, knowing that she had misunderstood her husband, and her anger quickly dissipated.
Subconsciously, she said, "You demolished Yaoguang Pavilion? Where will Yaoyao live?"
As soon as the words came out, the princess realized that Ling Chu was beside her.
She couldn't help but look at her carefully.
But she found that she was not angry, but just looked at the prince with curiosity.
The princess breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that Han Yao was not her biological child, she really loved her for more than ten years. When she suddenly heard that her courtyard was demolished, she blurted out the words subconsciously.
Prince Dingyuan also glanced at Ling Chu before saying to the princess, "Han Yao moved to Qingyi Pavilion."
Qingyi Pavilion is an independent small courtyard. Although it is close to Shou'an Hall where the lady lives. But no matter the size or scenery, it is not as good as Yaoguang Pavilion where Han Yao lived before.
"A few days ago, I had Yaoguang Pavilion demolished and I asked the craftsmen to rebuild it. It is not built yet. We will move back after it is completed."
When the princess heard that Yaoguang Pavilion was demolished and a new courtyard was built for Ling Chu, she immediately smiled.
She was worried that Ling Chu would not like it, so she complained to the prince, "Who did you ask to design it? What do you plan to build it like? Why didn't you tell us? What if it is not built to our liking?"
Prince Dingyuan was stunned, "I asked the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to design it. I was not thoughtful enough. I should have asked Chuchu what style she wanted first."
Ling Chu was a little surprised that Prince Dingyuan would demolish Han Yao's courtyard in order to build a courtyard for her.
But she...did not plan to move to the palace.
Prince Dingyuan summoned the servant and asked him to go back to the palace and get the blueprints.
Ling Chu said, "No need, I..."
Perhaps seeing that she was going to refuse, Prince Dingyuan interrupted her first, "Your mother is right. After all, it is the place you want to live in. It must be built to your liking so that you can live comfortably.
When the blueprints are brought, take a good look at them. If you are not satisfied with anything, just let me know and I will ask the craftsmen to modify them."
Princess Dingyuan also smiled and agreed, "Chu Chu, don't worry. We will build whatever yard you want. Anyway, the craftsmen haven't finished building it yet, so we have enough time to redesign it."
The more the princess talked, the more excited she became.
Worried that Ling Chu didn't know what the yards of the ladies in Kyoto looked like, she introduced them to her in detail.
Prince Dingyuan and Han Lin were not annoyed. They held tea cups and listened to the princess' explanation to Ling Chu with a smile. The atmosphere was warm and beautiful.
Looking at the excited princess, Ling Chu wanted to say several times that she did not plan to move to the palace, but she could not bear to say it.
Ling Chu sighed in her heart, if the original owner was still alive, it would be great.
The better the prince and princess treated her, the more she felt unworthy.
After the servant brought the drawings, the princess immediately pulled Ling Chu to look at them together.
Worried that they would not understand, the prince explained them in detail, and Han Lin also came over to listen with a smile.
The princess suddenly frowned, "Is this drawing wrong? I remember that Yaoguang Pavilion is not so big."
The prince looked at her and smiled, "You remember correctly, I asked someone to cut down the bamboo garden next to it and merge the land into it, so it is bigger than before."
Han Yao likes bamboo, so he asked the gardener to plant a bamboo forest next to Yaoguang Pavilion.
The prince thought that Yaoguang Pavilion was demolished, and the bamboo garden would be an eyesore, so he simply had it demolished.
The princess was worried that Ling Chu would be upset, so she quickly changed the subject and asked something else.
After the prince finished speaking, the couple asked Ling Chu what he wanted to modify.
To be fair, the blueprint was well designed. It can be seen that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works put a lot of thought into it, and even took the flowers and plants in the yard into consideration.
The prince also asked them to design a small lake, planning to plant some lotus and raise some fish, and to build a three-story building by the lake so that Ling Chu could enjoy the cool and scenery in the summer.
Seeing that the prince, princess, and Han Lin were all waiting, Ling Chu sighed in his heart, but smiled on his face and said, "Father, mother, this yard is well designed, I like it very much, there is no need to modify it, just build it according to the blueprint."
"Chu Chu..." After living here for such a long time, she finally heard Ling Chu calling them father and mother. The princess was very happy. But when she opened her mouth, tears fell one by one.
The prince looked at Ling Chu with kindness and relief. Seeing the princess crying, he patted the back of her hand comfortingly.
Han Lin was sad but joked, "Mother, stop crying. Are you worried that Chu Chu doesn't have enough money, so you plan to give her some gold beans to spend?"
He said to the princess's maid, "Hanqiao, why don't you quickly bring a big basin to put the gold beans in? It's a pity to waste them."
Hanqiao smiled and cooperated, "Okay, princess, don't cry first, wait for me to bring the big basin first."
The prince didn't stop her, just smiled and watched.
The princess was teased by the two and didn't feel like crying anymore. She glared at Han Lin and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
Ling Chu gave Han Lin a thumbs up.
Han Lin glanced at her and immediately hit the nail on the head, "Sister, you called father and mother, why didn't you call big brother?"
Ling Chu glanced at him, "Aren't you worried that I don't have enough money to spend? Shouldn't you give me some gold beans so that I can change my mind?"
Han Lin choked.
This time, it was the princess who looked at him with a smile, and asked his servant to bring a big basin to help him put the gold beans.
Han Lin looked helpless, so he had to slowly take out a few round and small gold beans from his purse and threw them to Ling Chu.
Ling Chu was not polite, and immediately smiled and changed his mind after taking it, "Thank you, big brother."
