Seeing that the person next to her was getting darker and darker, Yun Qingluo dared not do nothing any longer.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwu Kingdom is too kind. I am unworthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in Tianmo Kingdom, after all, I am already a mother of two."

"But Your Highness, besides last year's palace banquet, have we met anywhere else?"

Yun Qingluo's words carried a subtle threat.

Ye Ming understood Yun Qingluo's unspoken meaning: If you dare to say it, I'll expose your inability to have sex.

A playful smile appeared in the eyes of the Crown Prince of Dongwu Kingdom.

"Oh? Haven't I seen her anywhere else? I heard that Her Majesty the Empress went to the battlefield with the Emperor back then," Ye Ming said deliberately.

Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

"That time, I led the disciples of the Divine Physician Valley to support my Emperor."

Speaking of which, the chief disciple of the Valley Master of Divine Healer Valley is still at the General's Mansion. Would you like me to introduce him to His Highness the Crown Prince?

Ye Ming's expression was strange, and his body stiffened slightly.

Damn it.

They even dared to threaten him.

They're truly fearless.

"There's no need for an introduction. I just remembered that I did see an old friend last year who looked just like Your Majesty the Empress. That's why I had my doubts. I suppose I'm mistaken. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty."

Yue Tianze, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "To be able to have a portrait of the Empress is a blessing for her."

Yun Qingluo smiled without revealing her true feelings, and was about to speak when she was pulled back by Mo Beichen's hand from under his sleeve.

Mo Beichen held her hand tightly, making Yun Qingluo feel as if she would fly away if he let go.

This guy, didn't he see they were arguing? Why is he jealous?

Yun Qingluo turned her head to look at Mo Beichen, her eyes filled with comfort, and stopped responding to Yue Tianze and Ye Ming's words.

Mo Beichen suddenly spoke up, "Since the eldest disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley is here, then please ask her to come over later and give the two Crown Princes a proper diagnosis and treatment."

Yue Tianze didn't care, but because of his special status, his physical condition couldn't be revealed casually.

But the title of the top disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley sounds extremely appealing.

It should be noted that the top disciple of the Divine Physician Valley makes diagnoses based on his mood.

Moreover, with other members of the Divine Doctor Valley usually present, there's no need for the eldest disciple to intervene.

This is a rare opportunity...

Ye Ming was surprised that Mo Beichen held such a grudge, insisting that the eldest disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley take her pulse in public.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

He doesn't even know his own situation, even though he's the culprit.

Without looking up, Ye Ming coldly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am in good health, so there is no need to trouble the divine physician."

Mo Beichen persisted, "It's alright, the disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley are acquainted with the Empress, it won't be a problem."

Ye Ming gritted his teeth slightly, but still refused.

Yun Qingluo suddenly spoke up, "The fact that the eldest disciple of the Divine Physician Valley personally makes a house call is something ordinary people would beg for. Why is it that when it comes to His Highness the Crown Prince, everyone is avoiding him like the plague? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has something going on...?"

Yun Qingluo didn't say what she was about to say, but Ye Ming already guessed it wasn't anything nice.

These suggestive words stirred the ministers' interest.

"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwu Kingdom has some hidden ailment? His complexion is too pale; could it be kidney deficiency?"

“Father, this concerns my happiness, you can’t make a decision so casually.”

"No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't chosen a consort yet. Although the Crown Prince of Beiyue Kingdom hasn't chosen a consort either, I heard he already has someone in mind. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwu Kingdom doesn't like women?"

"Oh my god, has my dream been shattered?"

The group of girls realized what had happened, and their faces immediately fell into sorrow, showing a look of disappointment.

The ministers were also subtly excited by the big news, and discussions arose one after another.

Ye Ming's face darkened.

Damn it, how did the wind turn in their direction?

At this moment, his refusal to seek medical treatment means that he has admitted to having a hidden illness.

If he accepts treatment, then the secret I've been trying so hard to hide will be exposed.

Ye Ming curled his lips into a cold laugh.

It's true what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together."

Both of them are wicked at heart.

Ye Ming looked up, his tone slightly disappointed.

"I appreciate the Emperor and Empress's kindness, but this is a palace banquet after all, how can I spoil everyone's fun because of me?"

Besides, we haven't presented our congratulatory gifts yet. How about we discuss the house call after the banquet?

Mo Beichen glanced at Yue Tianze, "What does Crown Prince Yue think?"

Yue Tianze never expected that Mo Beichen would ask for his opinion.

It's obvious that this is a trap set by Mo Beichen for Ye Ming.

If he accompanies them, it proves that the Northern Moon Kingdom and the Eastern Martial Kingdom are indeed in cahoots.

If he doesn't accompany them, their country cannot withstand the wrath of the Mo Kingdom and the Dongwu Kingdom.

Why.

Yue Tianze nodded, "What Crown Prince Ye said makes sense. We came to congratulate the Emperor on his ascension to the throne. How could we trouble the Emperor so much? This is a very important matter."

Moreover, there will be many people and distractions at the palace banquet, and I'm afraid it might make the divine physician uncomfortable. So let's discuss the treatment after the banquet."

Mo Beichen remained expressionless and simply hummed in agreement.

Her chopsticks didn't stop; she picked up a piece of food for Yun Qingluo.

Yu Guang noticed that Yun Qingluo's gaze lingered on a plate of shrimp not far away, and smiled faintly to himself.

While speaking with the two princes, she gestured to the eunuch beside her to move the plate of shrimp in front of her.

Yun Qingluo was slightly taken aback when she saw the shrimp run away.

She glanced at Mo Beichen, puzzled.

Doesn't he not eat shrimp much?

Mo Beichen rolled up his sleeves, took a damp handkerchief from the side, and wiped his hands.

Then I picked up a shrimp and started peeling it.

"These shrimp are quite good today, everyone should try some," Mo Beichen said calmly as he peeled a shrimp.

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Um?

The emperor refused the service of the eunuchs beside him and peeled the shrimp himself.

Now, those who didn't want to get their hands dirty and didn't dare let others peel them for them had to roll up their sleeves and peel them themselves.

The two crown princes glanced up; the emperor was diligently peeling shrimp.

I glanced down at the two sides of the main hall below, where the ministers were perfunctorily peeling shrimp.

What kind of custom is this?

It wasn't like this last time I came. Could it be that the shrimp dish is different this year?

Yue Tianze and Ye Ming, who had been watching Mo Beichen's movements out of the corner of their eyes, were stunned when they saw Mo Beichen skillfully place the peeled shrimp meat into the small plate in front of Yun Qingluo.

Did the Emperor personally peel shrimp for the Empress?

What kind of shrimp is this?

This is clearly a disguised way of showing affection.

Having heard that the Regent King doted on the Regent Queen, and after witnessing it with his own eyes, he initially believed it to be about 70-80%.

Unexpectedly, after the regent ascended the throne, he became even more doting on Yun Qingluo.

He even emptied the harem for her, abolished the imperial concubine selection system, and wrote in the imperial edict that he would never take any more concubines.

This is truly astonishing!
