Quail said that the prince is searching for a female physician throughout the capital.

Why seek out a female healer?

Yun Duoduo frowned in thought. Based on her judgment, Jin Jinzhi was not injured. She had just visited the Jin residence a few days ago, and neither Madam Jin nor General Jin were injured.

Ah Xiang recently delivered clothes to the Jin residence again, but she hasn't heard that anyone in the Jin residence is sick.

Besides, if someone is really sick or injured, they can come directly to her.

Why is Jin Jinzhi searching the entire city for a female healer?

Is the military camp in need of a medic? If so, it would be more appropriate to find a male medic.

She had heard that not long ago, several of Huichuntang's junior apprentices were invited to the military camp to serve as army doctors.

Having learned from the previous misunderstandings, Yun Duoduo knew she couldn't act rashly again; she had to wait until everything was clear before taking any action.

While she was lying in bed lost in thought, Ah Xiang walked in: "Princess, the Prince of Jibei is waiting for you at the gate of the mansion!"

Is Sumire's brother here?

Yun Duoduo sprang out of bed with a somersault.

"Auntie Xiang, please help me with my makeup!"

Yun Duoduo jumped off the bed and went to the closet to find clothes to wear. She figured Jin Jinzhi must know that she was going to Yuze, so she came to see her.

Ah Xiang pushed open the door and came in carrying a basin of hot water. "Has the princess had a good sleep?"

"It's already noon."

"Aunt Xiang, please stop teasing me. Do you think this dress suits me?"

Yun Duoduo took out a pale yellow long dress.

"Princess, it's raining outside today. This dress is pretty, but it's too thin."

Ah Xiang shook her head, put the dress in Yun Duoduo's hand back into the closet, and picked out a thicker, light blue dress.

"Princess, please wear this."

She pressed Yun Duoduo down on the stool, wiped her face, combed her hair, drew her eyebrows, and applied face powder.

Because she was in a hurry, while Ah Xiang was combing her hair and drawing her eyebrows, she didn't stop herself either, applying red lipstick. "Quick, look at my makeup!"

"The princess is absolutely gorgeous!" Ah Xiang placed the hairpin in Yun Duoduo's hair.

"Okay, I'll go out now, otherwise Brother Jinzhi will have been waiting outside for a long time."

With that, Yun Duoduo ran out.

"Ah Xiang, tell the kitchen not to cook. Brother Jinzhi is coming now, he must be asking me out to eat!"

Ah Xiang was very happy to see Yun Duoduo walking happily.

"Huh? The rain has stopped?"

Yun Duoduo left her bedroom and found that although it was damp outside, it wasn't raining. So she threw the umbrella that A Xiang had given her into the princess's residence.

"Duoduo, come quick!"

When Jin Jinzhi saw Yun Duoduo come out, he smiled and reached out his hand to her. Yun Duoduo grasped his hand, and he pulled her onto the horse, sitting her in front of him. Then, Jin Jinzhi wrapped his arms around Yun Duoduo's waist and held the reins.

Military Advisor Cao turned his head away and looked away.

Oh, what terrible things did I do in my past life?!

[You want to watch this slutty couple, all lovey-dovey?]

"I heard you're going to Yuze tomorrow, let's go out for dinner today," Jin Jinzhi whispered in Yun Duoduo's ear.

"Okay, shall we go to a restaurant for braised pork knuckle?"

Yun Duoduo suggested, her eyes lighting up at the mention of pork knuckle.

She's been trying her best to control her weight so she can fit into her wedding dress, but since Jin Jinzhi is here to see her off, why not have a good meal today?

Let's lose weight when we get to Yuze!

"Okay, let's go, and while we're at it, let's try the restaurant's new dishes."

Jin Jin rode his horse toward the Manjianghong Restaurant, with Cao Canjun following behind.

"Daylily is in season now, so maybe we'll have some to eat."

"Daylily?"

Seeing Jin Jinzhi's puzzled look, Yun Duoduo teased, "Brother Jinzhi, you haven't eaten this before, have you?!"

"How could that be? I just don't eat it often."

The horse was not moving fast, and Yun Duoduo was enjoying the pleasant and refreshing air, watching the small vendors on both sides of the street.

"By the way, Brother Jinzhi, how's the situation in the southwest?"

Another famine struck the southwest, causing immense suffering to the people, some of whom had already starved to death.

The inaction of officials in the southwest has led to small-scale unrest and riots.

"After the morning court session today, I met with His Majesty alone and suggested that he thoroughly investigate the officials in charge of disaster relief in the southwest. His Majesty also found the matter very strange and has sent a secret letter to the local officials to investigate the matter."

"At the same time, another group of officials will be sent to distribute disaster relief grain. I believe that once the people have food, they will no longer riot."

"Because this matter is of great importance, His Majesty has sent Lord Sun Ren to the southwest to prevent a rebellion there."

Yun Duoduo pursed her lips. "Yes, these disaster victims are really pitiful. They lost their loved ones because of corrupt officials."

"yes."

Jin Jin shook her head helplessly.

"Oh dear, since Uncle Sun went to the Southwest, and Sun Huohuo and I went to Yuze, won't Madam Sun be left without anyone to take care of her?"

Madam Sun is currently pregnant, and her husband and son are not by her side. There are no capable men in the household.

"His Majesty also thought of this, so he assigned a detachment of imperial guards to guard the entrance of the Sun residence, and the Empress also transferred a group of palace maids from the palace to serve the lady."

Yun Duoduo nodded, "Father is indeed very thoughtful."

"You can go to Yuze without worry, but come back soon."

"I will miss you." Jin Jinzhi rubbed Yun Duoduo's head.

Yun Duoduo smiled and shrank her neck.

"We've arrived at the restaurant."

After Jin Jin dismounted, he helped Yun Duoduo down. Yun Duoduo glanced at the Manjianghong Restaurant and followed Jin Jin inside.

Cao, the military advisor, stood at the door to tie up the horse.

As soon as the two entered, a light drizzle began to fall, the raindrops pattering on the colorful oil-paper umbrellas of the pedestrians.

When it rains, dark clouds gather and the sky darkens.

"It started raining as soon as I came in!" Yun Duoduo thought to herself with relief.

As soon as it got dark, the waiters in the restaurant started hanging lanterns and lighting candles.

In an instant, the Manjianghong Restaurant was brightly lit, and several large red lanterns hanging from the eaves turned half the sky red.

The two went inside and found it to be very lively. In the center of the third floor of the restaurant sat a stunningly beautiful singer dressed in a red cotton robe, playing the zither and singing a tune. The guests upstairs and downstairs were chatting and drinking, making a great commotion.

Some scholars, listening to the sound of the rain, even recited verses such as "Rain patters on banana leaves, last night the west wind withered the green trees."

"It's always so lively here, no matter the time of day."

The clouds looked around.

"Please come in, distinguished guests!"

The sharp-eyed waiter recognized Jin Jinzhi as a regular customer and, judging by her appearance, of extremely high status. He warmly invited the two to sit down at a rosewood and marble table.
