Chapter 502 Reward

"Impossible." Du Ting subconsciously retorted upon hearing the news, "How could she, who had been broken off before and was still out in the open doing business, marry the Second Young Master Jiang?"

"That's right, Second Young Master Jiang is the humble young master of Shengjing, a man of extraordinary talent. At such a young age, he's already the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. He's bound to have a bright future ahead of him." Feng Yan praised him, looking at Su Su, who was chatting animatedly with Madam Jiang not far away, and said hesitantly, "But, Miss Xiao is the daughter of a marquisate after all..."

"The daughter of the Marquis also broke off an engagement. The Jiang family is a duke's family, and they value a clean family background more." Du Ting didn't want Xiao Jiuyue to be involved with the second son of the Qingfenglangyue Jiang family.

"That's right, a man like the Second Young Master Jiang is only suitable for someone like Sister Ting." Feng Yan had already seen that Du Ting liked the Second Young Master Jiang.

"Sister Yan." Du Ting's face turned red instantly. Fortunately, the palace maids who were supposed to guide the ladies and young ladies came and walked into the palace one family at a time.

Xiao Jiuyue also followed Su Su towards the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. The garden of the imperial palace was different. The flowers in the garden were all precious varieties, and beautiful flowers could be enjoyed in any season.

Even the koi in the lotus pond are more beautiful than others.

The Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager's residence, is even more magnificent. Once you enter the palace, you will feel soft carpets under your feet. There is a floor heating in the palace, so you can feel the warmth as soon as you enter the palace, which is completely different from the cold outside.

"Long live the Empress Dowager!"

Xiao Jiuyue bowed with everyone else. Being there, it was even more shocking than what you see in TV dramas, except for the kneeling all the time.

Xiao Jiuyue quietly looked at the empress dowager who was sitting at the top of the table. The empress dowager had kind eyes and lived a life of luxury. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and exuded nobility. When she casually raised her eyes, she had the aura of a superior.

She is worthy of being the most noble woman in South Vietnam.

Xiao Jiuyue listened to the empress dowager as if she was chatting, and those ladies were extremely respectful. Even Su Su was singled out for praise. After a round of conversation, most of them were compliments, which made Xiao Jiuyue drowsy.

"Who is Xiao Jiuyue, Miss Xiao?"

The Queen Mother suddenly called her name, and Xiao Jiuyue, who was dozing quietly, woke up instantly. She immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness is here."

Xiao Jiuyue's crisp voice and sudden standing up instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Come forward." The Queen Mother chuckled and waved at her.

"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue responded. When she walked forward, she saw Su Su's worried eyes. She looked at her reassuringly and walked calmly towards the center of the hall.

In this scene, in this environment, Xiao Jiuyue also had a special feeling, as if he was about to meet some important person.

"She is a pretty girl." The Queen Mother watched her stride towards her. The moment she saw Xiao Jiuyue's appearance clearly, she understood why the Sixth Girl praised Xiao Jiuyue so much.

Like a lotus in clear water, even the empress dowager, who was used to seeing beauties in the harem, had to praise her. Xiao Jiuyue was like a flower blooming in the early morning, delicate and beautiful.

"Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Xiao Jiuyue's graceful and generous answer actually made the Queen Mother have a better impression of her. Some people obviously like to be praised, but they are still too modest, or they are too shy, which is displeasing to the eye.

This silly girl who donated 10,000 taels of incense money is quite interesting. The Queen Mother said, "Reward."

Aunt Liu on the side took out a pair of earrings that she had prepared long ago. The pink pearl earrings were very popular with young girls.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Xiao Jiuyue received the reward and thought that the Queen Mother would say something else, but who knew that the Queen Mother called a few more girls, all of whom wore pearl earrings, but the colors and sizes were different.

Look, her pink pearls must be the best.

Xiao Jiuyue returned to his seat, touched the reward, and muttered in his heart, the Queen Mother met with so many people just for the reward?

It seems that being the queen mother is not easy.

Xiao Jiuyue took a quick look and found that the things the empress dowager had casually given out were all very valuable.

"Okay, Sixth Girl, take them out to enjoy the flowers." As soon as the Queen Mother gave the order, the Sixth Princess took the order and took the young girls out to play.

"Sister Xiao." The Sixth Princess had been eager to see Xiao Jiuyue for a long time, and she was naturally very happy to see her. She lifted her skirt and said, "Sister Xiao, look, my foot has healed well, hasn't it? The imperial physician said that it's a good thing that Sister Xiao helped me, otherwise, my leg would have been injured for ten days to half a month."

It’s not like now, where it takes almost a few days to recover.

"She's recovered well indeed." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the Sixth Princess jumping and dancing. After all, she was still a child.

"Didn't Miss Xiao just return to Shengjing?" a puzzled voice sounded.

Xiao Jiuyue looked over and saw Feng Yan, the one who had been cheated and bought a bracelet for two hundred taels. Her eyes fell on the bracelet on Feng Yan's hand, which was not the gold bracelet she had bought that day.

"Sister Xiao just returned to Shengjing, what's wrong? Can't you save me?" The Sixth Princess tilted her head. Although she was young and well protected by her mother and the Queen Mother, she could understand the good and bad in the words.

The Sixth Princess knew clearly who was good and who was bad: "Miss Feng, Sister Xiao and I were destined to be together."

"Sixth Princess, you misunderstood. I'm just curious. Miss Xiao can actually treat injuries. Isn't that something only quack doctors can do?" Feng Yan explained. Listening to the Sixth Princess calling her 'Miss Feng' and 'Sister Xiao', it was clear how close they were to each other!

She is the future concubine of the Second Prince, and is also half the sister-in-law of the Sixth Princess, right?

The Sixth Princess doesn’t even call her Sister Feng?

"Miss Feng, what do you mean only quack doctors can do that? The imperial physician can do that, too!" The Sixth Princess tilted her head and replied, "Sister Xiao is amazing! Not only can she cure sprains, she can also treat women's illnesses!"

The Sixth Princess was eager to help Xiao Jiuyue, and she was praising him profusely. When she heard the words "miraculous healing" and "bringing the dead back to life," Xiao Jiuyue quickly interrupted, "Your Highness, I can only cure minor illnesses, but I can't bring the dead back to life."

She has neither space nor special powers, so she can't bring the dead back to life.

"Sister Xiao is too modest." The Sixth Princess smiled and said, "If you have any embarrassing illnesses and are too embarrassed to tell the doctor, you can come to Sister Xiao."

"No need, we're all in good health, very good." Feng Yan said awkwardly. She was in good health, so why would she need treatment? If this got out, she might be rumored to be ill, which would damage her reputation.

The Sixth Princess said enthusiastically, "Don't be embarrassed, Sister Xiao is really amazing."

Du Ting also refused repeatedly and changed the subject: "I heard that Miss Xiao is doing business, why did you learn to be a doctor?"

Xiao Jiuyue said helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. Master sees that I'm very talented and wants to teach me as soon as he sees me."

Du Ting: "......" Isn't it just a small doctor? What's there to be proud of?
