"oops."
Fortunately, Suzhi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She caught the thing, held it in her palm and smiled.
"It's a small jade pot, Doctor Wen. Your jade pot is crystal clear and really beautiful."
"This jade pot is indeed beautiful. There's an ancient poem that goes, 'A heart as pure as ice lies in a jade pot.' Doctor Wen, this jade pot must have been given to you by a good friend. You must keep it well. It would be disastrous if it broke."
Concubine Hua looked closely and found that the thing was actually a small and exquisite jade pot, so she smiled and praised it.
Feng Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up.
[Jade pot? Isn't this Wen Shichu's family heirloom jade pot? Why does he carry such a fragile thing with him every day?]
[Could it be... that he brought Yu Hu to confess his love to Zhen Qia today?]
[The original book states that before entering the imperial palace for the selection, the heroine Zhencha went to Yunshan Temple to pray for herself not to be selected to enter the palace. Upon hearing this, Wen Shichu offered the family heirloom jade pot to Zhencha, proposing marriage, but was rejected by Zhencha.]
[It seems that he has come back after being rejected. What a pitiful man. When Zhen Qia rejected him, she called him Master Wen, and later when she needed his help, she called him Brother Shichu.]
That year, Zhen Cai went to the Mushroom Temple to practice, and fell in love with the male protagonist at Lingyun Peak. The male protagonist always said he loved her, but he only said nice things. Wen Shichu, on the other hand, never said he loved her, but every time he went back, he would rush to fetch water and chop firewood.
[Such a good man, but in the end, he got nothing, and was implicated in the heroine's affairs, and cut off his roots and became a eunuch. ]
[In my opinion, the source of his misery is Zhen Qia. If he could have left the heroine earlier and not been involved with her, he would have been able to live a stable and happy life with his medical skills.]
The words "leave the heroine early" fell into Concubine Hua's ears, and a light flashed in her eyes.
She has already seen that Wen Shichu is a kind and honest person. This person will only live a miserable life if he follows Zhen Cai, so why not recruit this person under her command and use him for her own purposes?
Concubine Hua had an idea in her mind.
Wen Shichu's heart fluctuated parabolaally as the jade pot fell and was rescued in time and intact.
He took the jade pot from Suzhi with great gratitude.
"Your Majesty, this jade pot is a family heirloom. Fortunately, Miss Suzhi accepted it. Otherwise, I am afraid I will not be able to explain it today."
Just seeing this jade pot, he couldn't help but think of Zhen Qia's cold rejection of him this morning, and his eyes became dim again.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Hua smiled and spoke.
“So it’s a family heirloom, no wonder it’s so exquisite. However, this jade pot is fragile, so Doctor Wen should keep it in a suitable place.
If you put it in the wrong place, you will be wasting this jade pot if you are not careful."
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I will remember them."
Wen Shichu carefully put the jade pot away again, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and then hurried out of Yiku Palace with his medicine box.
The Imperial Hospital was not close to the Yiku Palace. It was already evening when Wen Shichu arrived, carrying a medicine box and holding a jade pot.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, his shadow was stretched out very long, making him look even more lonely and desolate.
He was in a very bad mood today, not only because Zhen Qia rejected him, but also because of what he overheard her say afterwards.
Zhen Cai said that his Wen family's family background was not worthy of the Zhen family...
So the real reason why she rejected him was not that she had a lover, but that she looked down on him from the beginning and felt that their family backgrounds were not compatible.
Yes, although the Wen family has been practicing medicine in the Imperial Hospital for generations, they are ultimately no match for the Zhen family, a family of officials. It's just that he always thought that they had a close relationship since they were young, and Sister Cai was so close to him.
I thought that the relationship between them was different, but I never expected that she actually looked down on his family background.
He thought again of what Concubine Hua had just said.
This jade pot must be placed in the right place. If it is placed in the wrong place, it would be a waste of the jade pot.
Indeed, it is a real shame to give this jade pot to Zhen Qia.
Today he finally saw Zhen Qia's true face clearly, and from now on, his heart will no longer be misplaced.
The jade pot felt warm in his palm, the sunset was still there, but Wen Shichu's mentality was different from before.
And at this time.
At the entrance of Yunshan Temple.
It was already evening and most of the pilgrims had left, with only one carriage still parked there.
The groom was getting a little impatient and looking forward to it.
"Why hasn't the young lady come out yet? What's holding you back?"
"The young lady is in the temple praying for the master and his wife. I think she and the abbot are having a good chat, so I want you to wait a little longer, Uncle Ma."
Earlier, Zhen Qia entered the gate of the courtyard behind Yunshan Temple, leaving only Liu Zhu behind and asking Huanbi to return to the carriage and wait.
Although Huanbi didn't understand why, she still came as instructed. However, she had been standing all the time and her legs were already sore.
The coachman kindly called her, "Miss Huanbi, why don't you go inside the carriage and wait? You must be tired after standing for so long."
"No, that's against the rules. I'd better stand and wait for the young lady to come back."
"The lady won't blame you. Besides, you've been standing for a long time. It's time to take a break. Go up quickly. If you're worried, just sit for a while."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Ma."
Huanbi hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the carriage and sat on it.
However, she had just sat down in the carriage when she saw through the window Liu Zhu and Zhen Cai walking quickly out from the path on the side of Yunshan Temple.
The coachman immediately brought a stool, and Liu Zhu helped Zhen Qia get into the carriage.
Huanbi hurried to get out of the car to greet Zhenqia.
