"Mom, my injury is really not serious.
You've been ill for several months and finally recovered. I can't let you work so hard alone.
What if I fall ill again? "
"How could I be tired? Cooking is my strong point. I haven't done it for a long time, so I feel bored.
Ever since I arrived in the capital, I have been relying on your monthly salary to make a living and to support you and your two younger brothers. I can't do anything except feel sorry for you.
Now that I'm finally getting better, I can't sit idle anymore.
You always say that business in the capital is good, especially selling snacks. I'm going to give it a try today. If it's good, you don't have to go to that job anymore. We can set up a stall together later.
When your eldest brother's leg injury heals, he can stay at home to look after Xiaobao, and then Mom will feel relieved when she goes out. Our lives will gradually get better in the future."
As the old lady finished her words, a little boy about four or five years old popped his head out from the thatched cottage, leaning against the door frame.
"Mom, I want to go with you."
Hearing this pitiful voice, the old lady looked back with eyes full of heartache.
"Hey, I've been in the capital for such a long time, and I'm confined to this thatched hut every day. If you want to go, let's go together. It's just a matter of paying a few more copper coins and riding in an ox cart."
Hearing this, the little boy's worried face immediately became overjoyed and he ran out with his short legs!
"Thank you, mom! I will be good and obedient and won't run around. I will watch the stall for you."
The old lady looked at Xiaobao's smiling face, and the smile in her eyes grew bigger and bigger!
"Okay, then you can look after the stall for mom, and let your elder brother stay at home for one more day."
"Mom, Xiaobao is so young, how can he watch the stall?
In case he got lost...”
"Mom, tie me up with a rope, one end tied to me and the other end tied to mom, then I won't run away."
Seeing Xiaobao was like this, how could the eldest brother bear to refuse.
"Mother, big brother, you two should go together.
I can just stay at home and look after the house. With my elder brother here, my mother won’t be so flustered when she sets up a stall for the first time.”
As soon as Xiaobao finished speaking, a young man holding a stick limped out from the door with a cold look on his face.
The words he spoke were soft.
"You're home alone, is that ok?"
"It's okay. My leg has been like this for almost half a year. I've long been accustomed to taking care of myself. You all go ahead.
Xiaobao is so young, he definitely can’t stand being locked up at home for three or four months.
The weather looks good today and it doesn’t seem too hot. There will definitely be a lot of people going out shopping.
Auntie’s cooking skills are pretty good, those snacks will definitely sell well.”
"Okay, then you should close the door yourself and don't open it for anyone."
In the end, the old lady agreed.
Considering his unfamiliarity with the capital and it being his first day setting up a stall, he finally decided to bring his eldest son along.
The ox carts heading into the city swayed along the village road, and everywhere was golden in the autumn.
Xiaobao, who was sitting in the carriage, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling!
He didn't come out for fun, he just wanted to try his luck. On a day like this, he didn't know if he could see his sister.
In the palace, Chaoge removed the stitches for the empress dowager and checked it again carefully.
It must be said that with the blessing of the stream water in her space, the Queen Mother's wounds recovered much faster.
I have been in the palace for several days. I don’t know if Yunchang will still be worried when I let Prince Han convey a message to him?
As for Lao Wu’s injury, I don’t know how he has recovered after these few days?
"Queen Mother, I have checked it and the wound is healing well.
From now on, as long as the Queen Mother takes good care of me as I have said, nothing will happen."
"No, I still feel pain!
I feel uncomfortable all over.
Didn't you check it properly?
Although the wound is fine, could it be that the food in my stomach is still not cleaned up?"
Looking at the Queen Mother acting like a spoiled brat, Chaoge let out a smile.
"If the Queen Mother is worried, I can cut another wound along this one and let someone the Queen Mother trusts take a look..."
"Hey, little girl, you are joking with me.
Are you trying to scare me?
I am speaking to you seriously."
Hearing this, Chaoge also straightened his expression.
"If the Queen Mother is worried, I'll ask the Queen to find a few imperial doctors to come and see her.
In fact, I understand the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is just too worried about her own health. Don't worry, Queen Mother. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask Prince Ling to find me to see you again.
I have been in the palace for a few days now. I have to take over the shops that the Empress Dowager gave me and try to open a clinic in the capital as soon as possible, right?
When the time comes, if the Queen Mother needs anything, it will be more convenient to summon me."
“Okay, with your medical skills, you can open a clinic in a place like the capital, which will benefit the people.
If so, I won’t keep you here anymore.”
Finally getting rid of this annoying old demon, Chaoge bowed to the Queen Mother with a sense of relief, picked up his medicine box, and prepared to leave.
As soon as she left Fengqi Palace, she met the Queen who came to visit the Queen Mother. When she saw Chaoge, the Queen was no longer as arrogant as before.
The smile on her dignified and beautiful face became even bigger.
"Doctor Yun, are you going to leave the palace?
Is the Queen Mother fully recovered?"
"In reply to the Queen, the Queen Mother's body can be carefully taken care of in the future. It is unnecessary for me to stay here."
The queen nodded and said, "I didn't know you were leaving today. When I first met you, I liked your personality.
You have worked hard for quite some time treating the Queen Mother's illness.
As the queen, I should be grateful to you.
I should have prepared a gift for you, but seeing that you were in a hurry, Doctor Yun, you were probably anxious to go back.
In this case, I will give this bracelet to you.
Perhaps the consultation fee from Doctor Yun is more valuable than this bracelet, but this bracelet is also my favorite thing. I wore it on my hand when I got married.
If it were an ordinary person, I would really be reluctant to give this bracelet to someone else, but because I like you, Doctor Yun, I am willing to do so.
Since Doctor Yun is going back, I will not keep you here any longer. But I also hope that Doctor Yun can open your clinic in the capital as soon as possible.
Also, what I said before still counts.
If Doctor Yun is willing to serve in the palace, I will definitely recommend him to the Emperor."
Chaoge watched as the queen took the imperial green bracelet off her fair wrist. Needless to say, she really liked it!
A bracelet like this would have been auction-quality in the past.
Moreover, a bracelet that can be worn by the queen must not be an ordinary item.
Regardless of how much this bracelet is worth in ancient times, just based on the Queen's behavior of trying it out, whether it was false or out of admiration for her medical skills, Chaoge was willing to accept this kindness.
