Yin Yi had already anticipated this. "What does elder sister think?"
Ning Chuge said calmly, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."
Listening to the siblings talking in hushed tones, Yinlu yawned and said, "Elder sister, third brother, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to get some sleep. I didn't rest well last night, and my neck still hurts."
Ning Chuge didn't stop her. "Go back. Try to stay home as much as possible these days."
Outside are Mongolians waiting to make connections; be careful not to let others see you and cause trouble.
Buer and Dai covered their mouths and laughed, "Eldest sister, Fourth Brother is usually the laziest. Even I can't easily get him to come out. He won't go out on his own."
Upon hearing this, Yinlu turned to playfully tease Bu'er and Dai, saying, "You little brat, how dare you talk and make fun of your fourth brother? You won't be asking your fourth brother to take you out to play anymore."
Buer and Dai exclaimed "Oh dear!" and quickly apologized to Yinlu, hoping that he would forgive them. They had finally come to the frontier, and it would be so boring to stay in a yurt every day.
"It's too late, it's too late."
Yinlu continued to tease Buer and Dai, and the two of them made the whole yurt noisy.
Ning Chuge, using his voice to conceal his presence, briefly explained to Yin Yi the conflicts between the Mongol tribes they had come to. He advised Yin Yi to be mindful of his interactions during his time in the border region, to treat everyone fairly, and not to offend anyone.
Yin Yi: ...His elder sister has high expectations for him, but she's in a bit of a dilemma.
The four men had been together for a short time before they each led their servants away.
As soon as the event ended, the news was sent to the largest and most spacious yurt in the center.
While handling government affairs sent from the palace, Emperor Kangxi listened to Li Dequan's report.
His hands kept moving.
Kangxi pondered for a moment, "So far, Ning Chuge only has the young prince as his child?"
Li Dequan bowed and nodded, saying, "The princess has not had any children all these years."
She was injured when she gave birth to the young prince.
This was something that Emperor Kangxi knew back then.
At that time, Ning Chuge's childbirth was extremely dangerous. Not only did she experience a difficult labor, but she also suffered from postpartum hemorrhage that was impossible to stop.
In the end, it was only thanks to the two imperial physicians who brought him there and the strong medicine that Ning Chuge's life was saved.
However, after that, Ning Chuge's body suffered irreversible damage, and her condition did not improve even after many years of treatment.
"Among those who came with me this time is the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. Let him take the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy to examine Ning Chuge."
After saying this, Kangxi waved his hand, signaling Li Dequan to go and make the arrangements, while he himself continued to bury himself in handling state affairs.
Li Dequan responded to the sound, but when he came out, he was still a little confused.
What does Your Majesty mean by this? Could it be that you are concerned about Princess Ning Chuge's health?
But the princess's health problems happened several years ago, so is it unnecessary to care about her now?
Moreover, over the years, the Emperor has always found opportunities to have the Imperial Hospital examine Princess Ningchuge's pulse. Since they have come again this time, there should be no problem.
Li Dequan pondered Kangxi's intentions, but unfortunately, because Kangxi had done this for so many years, Li Dequan still couldn't figure out its true nature.
Ning Chuge sighed inwardly when he saw the unfamiliar face of the imperial physician approaching.
Even after all these years, the Emperor's suspicions have not been dispelled. It's really difficult.
"Princess, I apologize for my offense."
The newly appointed head of the Imperial Medical Academy is a young physician who was promoted by Emperor Kangxi. As such, he has no contact with anyone except Emperor Kangxi.
Ning Chuge smiled and extended her wrist, indicating that everyone could take her pulse.
“I understand that Father Emperor cares about me.”
It's just that it's unclear how long this "concern" will last.
Is it only when the internal strife within the Qing Dynasty escalates and her actions in Mongolia no longer attract the attention of her father, the Emperor?
Ning Chuge shook his head inwardly, trying not to think about such unrealistic things.
The chief physician brought four imperial physicians with him this time, making a total of five including himself.
Five people lined up to take Ning Chuge's pulse.
After the pulse diagnosis was finished, Ning Chuge smiled and asked about her health.
"Princess, rest assured, your health is the same as before. Apart from some difficulties with having children, there are no other major problems."
The physician himself was puzzled as to why he had come to take pulses, but he told the truth, since that's how it's written in the pulse records of the Imperial Medical Academy, and what he said made no mistake.
Ning Chuge looked dejected, and her hand unconsciously touched her flat stomach.
It seems that my decision to drink that infertility-inducing soup against everyone's advice back then was effective.
Otherwise, if the Emperor waits month after month, year after year, to find fault with himself, he will eventually be exposed.
How wonderful it is now! She has solved the problem once and for all. Even if the Emperor were to arrange for several more doctors from the Imperial Hospital to diagnose it, they still wouldn't be able to make a diagnosis.
...
The news that Li Dequan had arranged for imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy to examine Ning Chuge's pulse spread quickly.
Some people envied Ning Chuge for being favored, some were jealous of her being valued, and some resented her for being in their way.
Ning Chuge, having just finished taking the pulse, received a formal audience with Emperor Kangxi within a day, a testament to his hard-won success.
Otherwise, without this incident, Ning Chuge would still be waiting.
After all, Emperor Kangxi really disliked Ning Chuge touching power, even though Ning Chuge was his own daughter and was favored by Emperor Kangxi before her marriage.
But power is a red line, a place that Kangxi cannot touch. Ning Chuge crossed the line, and no matter how many plausible reasons he had, he could not be forgiven by Kangxi.
This time, even though Ning Chuge was prepared, she was still unhappy when Kangxi told her to be a good wife and mother and return to the family.
Emperor Kangxi remained unmoved and said, “Ning Chuge, you are a woman and should not get involved with power and politics.”
