Eunuch Yuan looked astonished and couldn't believe it.

Prince Ling has always been terrified of sour foods, but unexpectedly, the cure for his vomiting was a sour candied hawthorn.

If this were treated by a great doctor, the emperor would surely reward him handsomely, perhaps even bestowing upon him an official position.

Eunuch Yuan said, "It's good that he's stopped vomiting. His Majesty can finally relax a little after being worried for so long."

A maid brought over tea, and only then did Eunuch Yuan notice the heir of the Duke of Wei, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the heir of the Duke of Wei to be here as well."

Eunuch Yuan was a favorite of the Emperor and enjoyed his deep trust. No one in the court dared to be disrespectful to him. The heir of the Duke of Wei rose to greet Eunuch Yuan before saying, "I have come to visit Prince Ling and bring an invitation. I would like to invite Prince Ling and Princess Ling to attend my father's birthday banquet in a few days."

The Prince of Ling is still ill; how can we invite him to the Duke of Wei's birthday banquet?

However, Eunuch Yuan also understood the predicament of the Duke of Wei's mansion. The Duke of Wei's mansion was holding a birthday banquet and had sent out invitations to all the civil and military officials. It would be unreasonable for the Prince of Ling's mansion not to send one, since it was only the Prince of Ling who was unwell, while the Princess of Ling was perfectly healthy. Moreover, the Prince of Ling had accompanied the Princess of Ling shopping a few days ago, so he was not too ill to leave the mansion. Even if the Prince of Ling did not go, the Princess of Ling's cousin, Miss Shen, was engaged to the heir of the Duke of Wei, so the Princess of Ling might very well go.

Invitations must be sent; whether or not one attends is up to Prince Ling and his wife.

As the heir of the Duke of Wei spoke, a servant brought over the invitation, which Chen Feng accepted and presented to Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan opened the package and glanced at it, saying, "The Duke of Wei's birthday banquet is still a few days away. If you stop vomiting in the next few days, I will go with the Princess."
