"No, no, take them with you!" Xia Miaoyuan wrapped around Emperor Mingxi's shoulders like an octopus.
Emperor Mingxi sighed: "Okay."
Soon, the family of three changed into ordinary people's clothes and drove out of the palace in a carriage.
Xia Miaoyuan held Xiaojuzi in his arms, and Maomao was tied with a chain and led to prevent him from running around.
The streets of the capital are crowded with people and very lively.
The epidemic had been going on for nearly a month, and the people had been hunkered down in their homes, feeling suffocated. Now that the epidemic was over, everyone was out and about enjoying themselves.
Xia Zhengqi listened to the noisy voices on the street and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so lively, so prosperous, this is the capital of my great Great Xia."
Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto Emperor Mingxi's lap and stretched his neck to look outside.
"Miao'er, where do you want to go?" asked Emperor Mingxi.
"Eat delicious food and buy fun things." Xia Miaoyuan answered without hesitation.
"Huh? That's Aunt Yin's clinic!" Xia Miaoyuan suddenly shouted.
The emperor and empress looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yin Xizi's clinic outside the car.
I saw a carriage parked outside the clinic. Judging from the shape of the carriage, it was used by ministers in the court.
"Huh? Now when ministers are sick they don't go to the Imperial Hospital to see the imperial physician, but go to Yin's Clinic instead? It seems that Doctor Yin's reputation is really famous now." The queen sighed.
"Who is that?" Xia Zhengqi's voice sounded a little surprised.
The queen and her daughter looked towards the carriage and saw a young man getting out of it. He was wearing a deep blue robe and looked very refined. It was Cao Qingchun, a Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy.
"Is that the Hanlin Cao who often writes sacrificial orations and prayers for Your Majesty?" asked the Queen.
Xia Zhengqi nodded: "Exactly."
Cao Hanlin was carrying a number of gift boxes in his hands and walked excitedly into the clinic.
"Isn't this an illness?" Xia Miaoyuan murmured.
Judging from Cao Hanlin's mental state and the gifts in his hands, he doesn't look like a patient at all.
"Are you going to give a gift?" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice.
The emperor and empress were both stunned. Yes, they were going to deliver a gift.
"Your Majesty, let's go see Doctor Yin. I haven't seen her for a long time and I really miss her." The queen deliberately made her tone light, as if she had suddenly thought of it.
Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips. "Mother, your acting is getting better and better. You're obviously just curious why Cao Hanlin is courting Aunt Yin."
[She insisted on saying she wanted to visit Aunt Yin.]
The Queen's face flushed slightly. Xia Zhengqi turned his head and chuckled, then said seriously, "Okay, stop the car! Let's go see her."
The emperor, empress and their family of three walked into Yin's medical clinic.
I saw Cao Hanlin following Yin Xizi like a follower, chattering non-stop.
The emperor, empress and their family of three pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Sister Yin, have you drunk the osmanthus honey I gave you last time?" Cao Qingchun said with a flattering look on his face.
"Not yet." Yin Xizi ended the topic with just two words.
"That osmanthus honey is excellent. It uses the finest osmanthus flowers from all over Daxia. The bees are specially raised in the osmanthus forest."
"When the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, bees fly out to eat the stamens. Then they work hard to make honey."
"This honey is called osmanthus honey. It has a natural sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. If women drink it, it can also beautify their skin."
"Sister Yin, you must remember to drink it. This osmanthus honey can't be kept for too long. Although it won't go bad if left for too long, the taste will deteriorate. Be sure to drink it while it's fresh..."
Cao Hanlin was still chattering about osmanthus honey, and Yin Xizi's face showed impatience.
[Oh my god, it really is Cao Hanlin. He's so long-winded when writing eulogies and prayers, and he's just as long-winded when flirting with girls.]
[It's a good thing Auntie Yin has a calm and cool personality. If she were more impatient and had a hot temper, she would have kicked you out long ago.]
Emperor Mingxi and the Empress also frowned secretly. Why was Hanlin Cao like this? He didn't look like a Hanlin at all.
"Dear guests, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?" At this time, a little pharmacist came over and asked in a gentle voice.
"Oh, we are friends with Doctor Yin and we came here specially to visit her," the Queen explained.
"Okay, wait a moment." The medicine boy said, turning around to inform Yin Xizi.
"No need." Xia Zhengqi grabbed the medicine boy's sleeve and said, "Let Doctor Yin do her work first. We'll go talk to her after she's done."
The medicine boy burst out laughing, looked at Cao Qingchun's back and said, "Sir, you misunderstood. That's not a patient."
[Hey, he's so lively and chattering, he's definitely not a patient. I'm afraid he's here to pick up girls, right?]
Flirting!
What's the meaning?
The emperor and empress were a little confused.
My daughter is really good at seeing through the world, but she often comes up with strange words.
[This Cao Hanlin, when did he become obsessed with Aunt Yin? If they were together, it would be considered an older-younger-younger relationship, hehe, and the younger one is the younger one.]
Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth and laughed.
Now the emperor and empress understood. It turned out that their daughter was saying that Hanlin Cao was in love with Doctor Yin.
[Let me think about it...] Xia Miaoyuan grabbed her hair bun with her two chubby little hands.
[I remember now! I'm afraid that last time at my uncle's full moon party, Cao Hanlin had already developed a crush on Aunt Yin, right?]
So that’s it!
Emperor Mingxi and the Empress looked at each other and gave each other a look of understanding.
"Does this man often come to see Doctor Yin?" Emperor Mingxi's face was full of excitement to inquire about gossip.
"It's been quite a while, several months." The medicine boy winked.
"The only reason he didn't come was a while ago when Doctor Yin was ordered to go to the Imperial Army camp to treat an epidemic."
"My dear boy, what did he come to see Doctor Yin for?" the queen asked again.
"At first, he asked Doctor Yin to treat him. He examined him from head to toe, but Doctor Yin said he really couldn't tell what was wrong with him. Later, he stopped treating him. Every time he came, he would bring a gift, saying it was to thank Doctor Yin."
"Puchi!" Xia Miaoyuan burst into laughter.
[This is such an old-fashioned way to flirt with girls! ]
At this time, a servant came in.
This person was none other than Cao Qingchun's servant.
The servant saw Emperor Mingxi and the Empress standing at the door, and his eyes widened in shock: "Emperor..."
Debao, who was standing by, was quick to cover the servant's mouth.
"My master and his wife are here to visit Doctor Yin, and your Lord Cao is here too!" Debao said in a voice neither loud nor soft.
The servant immediately understood what Debao meant.
"Hello, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia, I am accompanying my master to see Doctor Yin."
When Emperor Mingxi and the Empress heard that it was Cao Qingchun's servant, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Come on, tell me quickly, how is your master and Doctor Yin doing now? How far has it developed?" Emperor Mingxi looked gossipy.
[No way, the Emperor is such a gossipy person. Haha.] Xia Miaoyuan rolled her eyes.
Emperor Mingxi: What does a little brat know? Everyone loves gossip.
