Chapter 689 Will You Marry Me?
In the evening, Xiao Jiuyue went to find Jun Lie.
After coaxing the child to sleep, Xiao Jiuyue slapped Jun Lie's restless hands away and said, "Let's get down to business. Your sister's lifelong event, as her brother, shouldn't you also care about it?"
"Qinqin?" Jun Lie guessed it immediately. The fifth princess married Jiang Yu as she wished. They treated each other with respect after marriage and seemed to be doing well. The only sister who had not yet married was Jun Qin!
The rest are probably still young.
"Well, I'll issue an imperial decree granting the marriage..." Jun Lie had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Xiao Jiuyue, "Marriage requires both parties to agree. Otherwise, wouldn't it just be a couple of grudges?"
"Yu'er wants me to find out if General Qin likes Qinqin?" Jun Lie guessed. Before he could answer, he denied it, "I'm the emperor. If I ask, no matter when, General Qin will definitely not say no!"
"Who asked you to inquire? I'll just ask my sister-in-law to find out when the time comes. What I want to ask is, will General Qin be stationed in Jinzhou in the future? Or will he be transferred back to Shengjing?"
"Qinqin's thoughts are simple. She thinks that if General Qin goes to Jinzhou, she won't have to endure Concubine Min's nagging, and she can continue studying medicine. But if they really get married, the couple will be separated from each other... I'm afraid their relationship will be broken!"
Xiao Jiuyue said, "I've known Qinqin for a few years now. She's honest and straightforward. I can't bear to see her suffer after marriage."
"Yongzhao has signed a ceasefire agreement and has also sent tribute to the imperial court, but Jinzhou must be defended. Otherwise, Yongzhao will make a move and the border will be unstable!"
Jun Lie looked at her and said, "Now that I, the new emperor, have ascended the throne, Qin Tao is the first general who can be of great use!"
"So, General Qin will be guarding the border for the next few years?" Xiao Jiuyue immediately understood Jun Lie's meaning. She asked, "Qinqin mentioned today that there are not enough military doctors. I was thinking, with so much fighting on the border, shouldn't we train more doctors?"
"Old Wang is well-versed in medicine. Besides treating women, he can also treat common illnesses as well as difficult and complicated diseases!" Xiao Jiuyue highly respected Old Wang. She said, "Military doctors are in short supply during wartime. Many wounded soldiers are waiting for someone to treat their wounds!"
"But there are too few military doctors. I think, can we train some people who specialize in treating wounds, bandaging wounds, or treating some simple illnesses?" It is equivalent to nurses in later generations!
"Isn't this an apprentice?"
Jun Lie's eyes lit up. "If it's not a doctor, but just an apprentice, someone who can bandage and treat wounds is really good. On the battlefield, many wounded died from excessive blood loss due to untimely treatment. If we have them, we can treat them faster!"
"Yes, the most important thing is to train them in some first aid knowledge, such as bandaging wounds and other simple external injuries. If they study hard, they can become masters in just six months!"
Compared to training a doctor, which takes at least dozens of years, or even a good doctor, at least more than ten years, training an apprentice like this is much easier!
The next day, Jun Lie called the military generals and several ministers and brought up the matter of training female military doctors.
…
During the hunting trip, Xiao Jiuyue was very relaxed. She didn't need to look after the child. Except when she was feeding, she saw the child. The rest of the time, Su Su took the child away!
Su Sulai's only purpose in hunting is to look after the children!
To Su Su, the four children are her most precious treasures, and they are adorable no matter how you look at them.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Jiuyue began to ask Cui Yao to inquire about General Qin's opinion. A few days after returning to Beijing, Cui Yao came with good news.
"My Queen, I went back to my uncle and aunt's house yesterday to pick up Chao Chao and Mu Mu. I met Qin Tao, and I think there's a chance!"
Cui Yao explained in detail how he had tried to trick Qin Tao and how he had asked for his opinion. Cui Yao said, "It just so happened that my aunt saw me. She was very happy!"
"Are they all satisfied with Qinqin?" Xiao Jiuyue knew what Qin Tao was thinking and felt relieved.
"I'm satisfied, but Qin Tao...is worried about delaying the Sixth Princess." Cui Yao explained, "Qin Tao said he's going to Jinzhou and won't be back for a few years. He's worried about delaying the Sixth Princess, so he's unwilling."
"Rejection proves that he is a responsible man." When Xiao Jiuyue was in Jiashui City before, she felt that Qin Tao was a responsible man!
If she liked the princess, regardless of whether she could take good care of the princess, I'm afraid Xiao Jiuyue would not be willing to let Qinqin get married, but now... Qin Tao is willing to consider Qinqin, that's okay.
If the female doctor's mission can be accomplished...
Xiao Jiuyue said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I want them to meet in the private room on the top floor of Fengchun Tower in three days."
"No problem, I guarantee Qin Tao will be here!" Cui Yao responded.
After Xiao Jiuyue and Cui Yao left, they went to look for Jun Qin. Jun Qin, who was usually carefree, became shy and asked, "Sister-in-law, he..."
"Three days later, Fengchunlou, ask yourself." Xiao Jiuyue gave her an address directly.
Jun Qin happily hugged Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind!"
"Okay, you'll get married soon, so stop acting like a child." Xiao Jiuyue said as he looked at her with a smile.
The three days passed quickly, and the moment Jun Qin saw General Qin in Fengchun Tower, her heart was filled with joy.
"General Qin, thank you for treating me to dinner today." Jun Qin dressed up specially for the day. She took the initiative to say, "I don't know what flavors you like, so I ordered some of each delicious dish for you to try."
"Your Highness, please order whatever you want to eat. I'm at your service." General Qin is not stupid. A few days ago, his sister-in-law came to him to ask about the princess. General Qin thought about it and understood.
General Qin ate with a heavy heart throughout the meal. Even if Jun Qin was dumb, she understood. She asked directly, "General Qin, do you hate me?"
"No." General Qin quickly shook his head in denial. He added, "I don't hate it."
"Then why are you unhappy about having dinner with me?" Jun Qin wiped her hands. Facing a table full of delicious food for the first time, she had no desire to eat. She looked at General Qin, waiting for his answer.
"Your Highness, I am very happy to invite you to dinner."
General Qin was interrupted by Jun Qin before she could finish her sentence. She said straight to the point, "I don't like beating around the bush. I'm just asking you directly, are you willing to marry me?"
Jun Qin's straightforward words made General Qin stunned for a moment. Looking into her clear eyes, General Qin said, "It will be very hard to marry me. I am not in Shengjing all year round..."
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Jun Qin interrupted him and said, "Studying medicine is very hard. There are all kinds of books to memorize, various academic degrees, prescriptions, and medicinal materials. But I never feel it's hard. General Qin, just tell me, put aside all those miscellaneous things, are you still willing to marry me?"
