Chapter 26 She Just Didn’t Believe It
After returning home, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites scolded his wife and daughter and put Fang Qiaoqiao under house arrest.
Afterwards, he went to Jin Yumantang in person, spent thousands of taels, picked out an apology gift, and gave it to his wife.
Since the Minister of the Ministry of Rites had informed Qi Junqi in advance, Madam Fang did not need to pass an additional sign when she entered the palace with the apology gift.
When they arrived at the Moon Palace, Qi Yue happened to be taking a lunch break. Madam Fang thought that Qi Yue was still angry, so she waited hesitantly in the main hall with her maid and apologetic gifts.
About an incense stick later, Qi Yue woke up. He Xiang helped him to get up and then he slowly went to the main hall to meet Madam Fang.
Madam Fang, seeing Qi Yue, was as if she had been pardoned. She hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Princess. May the Princess be blessed with good health."
Qi Yue sat on the couch in the main seat: "No need to be polite, I wonder why Madam Fang came to see me?"
Madam Fang: "My daughter offended the princess with her rude words in Jin Yu Man Tang yesterday. I came here specially to apologize to the princess on my daughter's behalf. When my master heard about this incident yesterday, he gave her a good scolding and put her in solitary confinement."
She carefully observed Qi Yue's expression, winked at the maid, and presented the prepared apology gift, "This is my master's special apology gift to the princess. It's just a small gift, I hope you don't dislike it."
The maid lowered her head and presented the things. Qi Yue waved and asked He Xiang to open it and take a look. As soon as she opened the brocade box, she glanced at it and saw that it was a set of red jade headwear of the finest quality.
Mrs. Fang saw that although Qi Yue didn't show it on his face, he nodded slightly and asked someone to accept the things. The big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Qi Yue accepted the apology gift and did not forget to flatter Lian Mengyi, "I accept the apology from Madam Fang and Lord Fang. Although your daughter is a little bit arrogant and ignorant, she still has a pure heart and is very loyal to her friends. But the friends your daughter makes are probably not good people."
Qi Yue sneered and continued, "Yesterday, when that man saw your daughter fainted, he took the opportunity to sneak away. It was really despicable."
As soon as he saw the heroine yesterday, Qi Yue left Jin Yu Man Tang and sent someone to keep an eye on her.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang frowned. The person who sent her daughter back yesterday was only the owner of the Jin Yumantang store, but there was no trace of that friend. She would have to send someone to investigate thoroughly when she gets back. If such a person really exists, Qiaoqiao must not be allowed to associate with him again.
Madam Fang: "Thank you, Princess, for your kind reminder. I am deeply grateful."
Qi Yue: "Well, let's go back."
Seeing that Qi Yue didn't want to greet her any more, Mrs. Fang bowed and left, and was escorted out the door by He Xiang.
He Xiang had just sent the person away when she saw Shao Si Yan hesitating and wandering around with a medicine box on his back not far away.
He Xiang: "What is the young imperial physician doing here? Is he here to check the princess's pulse?"
Shao Siyan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and in the end could only utter "hmm".
He Xiang nodded: "Princess, I am free at the moment. Please follow me, Imperial Physician."
Shao Siyan tightened his grip on the strap of the medicine box and followed He Xiang into the Moon Palace with trepidation.
This time, He Xiang took him to the main hall and stopped there. She went in and reported to Qi Yue before letting him in.
Qi Yue lazily leaned on the master couch, supporting his head with his hands, closing his eyes and not looking at him. He spoke only after he heard the footsteps stop.
Qi Yue: "Is the Imperial Physician here to see me, or is he here for a routine pulse check?"
Shao Siyan was very conflicted and kept telling himself to abide by the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, but he was also extremely disturbed by the princess's deliberate approach.
This excitement is even stronger now than when we first met four years ago.
He wanted to stay by the princess' side forever and possess her openly instead of having such an ambiguous relationship.
After Shao Siyan thought it through, he said, "I am here to check on the princess's pulse."
Qi Yue opened his eyes and looked at him steadily. After a while, he said, "Are you sure you just want to check my pulse?"
Shao Siyan felt a little uneasy, as if she was not just asking about taking the pulse.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak and looked uneasy, Qi Yue finally sighed. With his personality, he shouldn't be pushed so hard.
Qi Yue: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, just check my pulse."
Shao Siyan walked forward, put down the medicine box, and took out the pulse pillow and diagnostic towel.
Qi Yue pulled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth and white wrist and handed it over, but she did not place it directly on the pulse pillow that Shao Siyan had placed.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the slender white wrist hanging in the air. His Adam's apple rolled twice, then he reached out and carefully placed her wrist on the pulse pillow and covered it with the diagnosis towel.
After doing all this, Shao Siyan closed his eyes and began to take her pulse carefully.
Qi Yue's other hand was tapping on the table from time to time, and every time he tapped, his eyelashes would tremble slightly.
About half a cup of tea later, Shao Siyan opened his eyes and let go of her hand. He respectfully stepped back half a meter.
Shao Siyan: "The princess is in very good health, but she may have been a little irritated recently. I will prescribe some medicine to reduce the heat for her."
Qi Yue curled her lips and said, "Don't open it. I don't want to drink those bitter medicines!"
Shao Siyan: "Princess, it's not bitter..."
Qi Yue: "If it's not bitter, then you drink it for me. I don't drink it anyway!"
Shao Siyan: ...
Shao Siyan: "Then don't drink it. Princess can do more things that are beneficial to your body and mind, so that you can dissipate some of your restlessness."
Qi Yue: "Don't you understand why I am so angry?"
Shao Siyan: ...
Shao Siyan: "How about Princess drink some medicine..."
Qi Yue was furious: "Get out of here, you blockhead! Hurry up and get out of here! I get angry just by seeing you!"
Shao Siyan advised: "Princess, you should be less angry, so as not to get too angry. I will take my leave first."
After he left, Qi Yue felt that it was really outrageous. The people in her palace were too young to play with.
But the one that can be played is too rigid and stubborn, so it’s impossible to play it?
She just couldn't believe it. She was dressed up as a princess, but she still couldn't play with a man?
Qi Yue: "He Xiang, follow me to find my brother!"
He Xiang: "Yes, Princess!"
It's terrible. The princess seems to be really irritable today. It's probably because of the stimulation from the young imperial physician...
When the two were passing by the Imperial Garden, they happened to meet the Imperial Master Yi Bai who was about to go to the Imperial Study with a young eunuch.
It was just that the young eunuch suddenly had a diarrheal attack, and in a hurry, he temporarily left him in the Imperial Garden, but Yi Bai was a person with poor sense of direction.
He had stayed in the palace for nearly ten years. Unless the emperor summoned him, he would stay in the Duchen Temple to practice.
When Qi Yue saw him, he was standing by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, admiring the lotus flowers.
She was wearing a crescent-white dress with a dark black coat on the outside. Her waist-length silver hair was casually draped behind her. On her slender fingertips were a string of cold-colored beads. Her profile was as delicate as a model, and she looked cold and aloof, like a banished immortal.
