Chapter 356: Scars
The entire He family has added many guards, and everyone in the He family is on high alert.
Even after Su Yujin entered the gate, the servant had to explain to the guards guarding the hanging flower gate before she was allowed to enter smoothly.
Seeing this situation, Su Yujin felt uneasy, but seeing that the servant didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask too much. It was not until she saw He Yanxiu coming towards her that she quickly stepped forward.
"What happened?" Su Yujin asked in a low voice, "Who are these people?"
"The Emperor has finished dealing with state affairs and is here to visit the Third Prince," He Yanxiu replied.
The emperor is here.
No wonder it's such a big deal.
Su Yujin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll go see the Third Prince later?"
It’s time to change Qin Peiyou’s prescription.
"It's okay, just go now." He Yanxiu said, "The emperor also wants to see you."
This time, Qin Peiyou was able to discover the disease early and receive treatment early because of Su Yujin, so Qin Yishu also wanted to give her some praise.
Fearing that Su Yujin might be a little scared, He Yanxiu held her hand tightly and said, "I will go with you, you don't have to be afraid."
"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded.
She wasn't afraid.
The emperor is also a human being. In terms of appearance, he also has a nose and two eyes, no different from ordinary people.
What's more, since the emperor came to the He family to visit Qin Peiyou, he was not an emperor at this time, but a kind father.
Su Yujin felt at ease and followed He Yanxiu's steps.
The two arrived together, and the guards let them go after identifying them.
Su Yujin followed He Yanxiu into the yard and saw him sitting at the stone table, watching Qin Peiyou and Du Song's competition with great interest. When the two reached the exciting part, he couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
After all, he is the emperor. Qin Yishu has a strong aura and a compelling temperament, but at this moment his face is full of smiles, just as Su Yujin guessed, a loving father.
When he arrived in front of Qin Yishu, He Yan performed the ritual of practicing.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."
Su Yujin followed He Yanxiu's example and knelt down to pay homage, then kowtowed properly on the ground.
"No need to be polite, just stand up." Qin Yishu raised his hand with a smile. After He Yanxiu and Su Yujin stood up, he looked Su Yujin up and down. "Lord Ping'an, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today, I see that you have a good temperament, are dignified and polite. You are indeed good."
"Your Majesty, I am deeply honored by your praise. I cannot accept it." Su Yujin replied respectfully.
"Since we are here today, there won't be as many formalities as in the Imperial Palace. County Lord Ping'an doesn't need to be so polite. Just be casual."
Qin Yishu smiled and said, "Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Yujin and He Yanxiu bowed again to express their gratitude, and then sat down below.
"I heard from Yan Xiu that You'er's illness this time was all thanks to Lord Ping'an. You'er has been living in the He family for some time, and it was also because of Lord Ping'an's care that You'er was able to recover so quickly."
Qin Yishu said, "You'er is my son. Lord Ping'an saved You'er. I am grateful to him."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is the duty of a doctor and it should be so." Su Yujin bowed.
"That being said, this matter is very important to me." Qin Yishu looked at Ming Hai who was standing beside him, "Ping An County Lord has done a great service in treating the Third Prince. He shall be rewarded with 20 pieces of brocade of various colors, two hu of pearls, 100 taels of gold, and two hundred-year-old ginsengs."
"In addition, I remember that Yunling Temple would send out blessed lucky bags every year before the New Year. When the time comes, remember to leave two for Ping'an County Lord, so that he can be blessed with good health for many years to come."
"Yes." Minghai agreed and looked up at Su Yujin.
No matter how valuable the rewards here are, they are just ordinary items and nothing special. However, since the number of lucky bags from Yunling Temple is limited every year, it is not possible to ensure that all concubines, princes, and even princes and dukes in the harem can have one.
Precisely because the lucky bags from the Yunling Temple are so rare, the emperor personally confirms the list of palaces and princes to which the lucky bags will be delivered every year.
But this year the emperor is going to give Su Yujin two.
This is the first time that the lucky bag is given to an outsider.
It seems that this Lady of Ping'an County has won the favor of the emperor.
When he ordered people to select the rewards, he had to instruct his subordinates to only pick the best ones...
Fu Hai was calculating, while Su Yujin knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"This is what you deserve. You're welcome." Qin Yishu smiled and gestured for Su Yujin to sit down.
Su Yujin sat upright, her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, she didn't say much and didn't make any unnecessary movements, but she was totally calm and composed, without any awkwardness or even panic.
Qin Yishu smiled and nodded, and then his eyes fell on He Yanxiu who was standing beside him.
After a moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Here, the contest between Qin Peiyou and Du Song came to a temporary end.
On a cold winter day, Qin Peiyou was sweating profusely. He had even exhausted most of his strength, so he slumped on a stool, gasping for breath.
But he did not forget to ask Qin Yishu for credit, "Father, what do you think of my current skills?"
"Not bad, a big improvement compared to before." Qin Yishu nodded approvingly and patted Qin Peiyou on the shoulder. "You look much stronger too."
"Isn't it?" Qin Peiyou's face was full of joy. He subconsciously rolled up his sleeves to show Qin Yishu his muscles. "Father, look..."
But when his sleeves were half rolled up, Qin Peiyou suddenly remembered and put his sleeves down again. He only wrapped his sleeves tightly and showed Qin Yishu the outline of his arm muscles at this time, "My arms are much thicker and my strength is much greater."
Such a small action naturally caught Qin Yishu's attention.
Qin Yishu stood up and walked to Qin Peiyou, grabbed his arm and pulled his sleeve up.
Qin Peiyou's arms did look much thicker and stronger than before, but his arms, which seemed to have very obvious muscle lines, were covered with scars of various sizes.
Some were deep, some were shallow, some were long, some were like scratches from fingernails, some were like bites from teeth, and some were like injuries from sharp weapons...
Some of the scars had faded in color, as if they had been there for a while, while others had just scabbed over, clearly new...
Qin Yishu was silent for a while when he saw this.
Qin Peiyou felt a little embarrassed. He put his sleeves down again and said, "Ping An County Lord said that this won't happen again in a month or so."
"Your Highness has a good sense of propriety and is always under the watchful eyes of others. Your Majesty, do not worry too much about this matter."
Qin Yishu reached out and patted Qin Peiyou's shoulder without saying anything, but the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
