After Ye Qingcheng and the other two left the main hall, they all let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the three of them.
"Ugh! Listening to that chanting is giving me a headache."
"Yes! Your Highness, even I feel like my head is about to explode just listening to this, it's really painful," Qingyi said with a smile.
Ning Xin agreed, "That's right, I almost fell asleep listening to that."
Ye Qingcheng nodded and sighed, "Alas! If I had known it would turn out this way, I shouldn't have agreed to come with my grandmother. It's so boring."
"Your Highness, you are also showing your filial piety."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Hmm! Let's go! This temple looks pretty big, shall we go take a look around?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The three of them then leisurely strolled around the temple, stopping and exploring at their leisure.
Meanwhile, on this side...
Not long after Ye Qingcheng came out, the eldest princess also got up and left the main hall with her two maids.
"Your Highness, are you tired? This servant will go find the young monks and ask them for a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
The eldest princess nodded: "Yes!"
After saying that.
She walked straight into the courtyard and sat down on a stone bench.
"Cuiye, go and see where Princess Han and the others have gone."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, should we summon them?"
"No need, just see where they went. I'll rest for a while and then go find her."
"yes."
After finishing her reply, the girl named Cuiye turned around and went to find Ye Qingcheng and the others.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng and her two companions were strolling around the back mountain of the temple.
After seeing a pavilion, they rested there.
After Ye Qingcheng sat down.
Qinglian and Ningxin were very considerate; one of them went to fetch a cup of tea to help her relax.
One of them went to get a plate of pastries for her to eat, to fill her stomach.
Of course, Ye Qingcheng couldn't enjoy it all by herself. She also asked Qinglian and Ningxin to sit down and keep her company while she drank tea and ate pastries.
The three of them sat in the pavilion, looking at the scenery of the entire back mountain.
After enjoying it for a while.
Cuiye, who served the eldest princess, came looking for them.
"This servant greets Princess Han."
Ye Qingcheng turned to look at her: "Hmm? Is the Princess looking for me?"
Na Cuiye shook her head: "Yes, but Your Highness, she only sent me to see where you are. She will come to find you herself."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng stood up and said, "It's alright. Since it was my royal aunt who came looking for me, I should be the one going there. How can I let her come?"
"Indeed, Princess Consort Han, you understand this etiquette. I greatly admire you."
As soon as Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, the voice of the Eldest Princess came over.
The group turned to look over.
At this moment, the eldest princess was already walking towards them.
"Greetings, Princess."
Ningxin and Qinglian bowed to the Princess as she approached.
"No need for formalities," the princess said, raising her hand as she looked at the two of them.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Um!"
The eldest princess nodded, then looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"Princess Han, did you find these two maids yourself, or did Seventh Prince give them to you?"
"Yes, it was given by the Prince."
"It seems Han'er treats you well! She even found you two maids who are both well-mannered and skilled in martial arts to serve you."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Your Majesty."
"What's there to laugh at? You two are a harmonious couple, isn't that what you should be doing?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is right."
"Alright! Now that we're all out here, there's no need for so much formality. Everyone, please sit down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Yes, thank you, Princess."
Then.
The eldest princess and Ye Qingcheng sat down.
Ningxin, Qinglian, and the other three thanked the princess, but they did not sit down.
Instead, they each stood guard behind their own masters.
"Princess Consort Han, what are your thoughts on the rumors surrounding you in the past?"
“My niece-in-law has no opinion. After all, rumors are just things that are said by other people, and we can’t control them.”
"Hmm! Very good. I never expected you to see things so clearly. However, I am very curious: since you have such talent, why has it only come to light in recent years? And why was Prime Minister Ye unaware of it?"
Before her marriage to the prince, her niece-in-law was constantly bullied and ostracized in the Duke's mansion, so she had no opportunity to show her talents.
As for Ye Guoxiang's ignorance, it's because he hadn't cared about his nephew's wife.
"Oh? Is that really true?"
"Um!"
"I never expected that Ye Guoxiang, who appears so upright and dignified on the surface, would treat his daughter like this in private. He is truly unworthy of being a father."
"Is this not what you wanted to discuss with your niece-in-law today?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess looked at Ye Qingcheng and smiled: "That's right, I do have other matters to discuss with you."
“Please tell me, Your Majesty, and I will do my utmost to help you.”
"Hmm! Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want you to take my pulse."
"Taking your pulse?"
"Um!"
"Alright, please, Your Highness, give your hand to your niece-in-law."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess raised her hand and placed it on the table.
Then.
Ye Qingcheng then took her pulse.
Wait a moment.
Ye Qingcheng lowered her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Your Majesty, have you been taking medicine every day in recent years?"
“Indeed, Princess Consort Han, your medical skills are truly remarkable. I did not even describe the symptoms, yet you knew the diagnosis just by taking her pulse. You are truly an extraordinary person.”
"You flatter me, Your Majesty."
"Then what is this, Your Majesty?"
"Actually, Your Highness, you only need to stop taking the medicine, and it will be fine in a few months."
"What? Stop the medication?"
"That's right, you have no symptoms at all. It's just that the diagnosis was wrong earlier, and because you've been taking medication for years, that's why you haven't had any symptoms."
"What? A misdiagnosis? Well, how dare you! When I get back, I'll teach those good-for-nothings a lesson."
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. It's not their fault that the imperial physicians made a wrong diagnosis."
After all, you had blood stasis and your menstrual flow was obstructed at the time, and you are a woman of considerable health. They must have examined and treated you carefully and repeatedly, right?
"Yes! That's true."
"So, those imperial physicians back then were probably..."
Ye Qingcheng stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, her brows furrowing slightly.
