This reaffirmation made Miss Jun laugh immediately.
To reiterate, this time it was a real coincidence, which means that the previous coincidences were fake.
She now knows why it happened so coincidentally before.
This sentence both refers to past events and explains present events.
Miss Jun smiled. Ning Yunzhao was the first person who expressed his love for her. She had never met such a person before and she didn't know how to get along with him after being rejected.
She doesn't need to think about these things.
After rejecting Ning Yunzhao, she occasionally thought about it and felt a little troubled and restrained.
But now that I've really seen it, and Ning Yunzhao still talks like this, I feel like nothing has changed.
She felt ashamed of herself for treating people like this.
"What a coincidence! I just happen to wish you a happy new year." Miss Jun said, kneeling in greeting.
Ning Yunzhao accepted the gift generously and returned the gift.
"I'm going to give New Year gifts to my friends." He said, looking at Liu'er holding the box in her hand.
"I went to Manager Liu's house to get some New Year gifts." Miss Jun said with a smile.
Ning Yunzhao smiled and raised his hand.
"Then I'll go first," he said.
Miss Jun nodded and stepped aside to see her off. Ning Yunzhao also nodded and walked away with a smile.
This is good, it's how it should be as an acquaintance.
Ning Yunzhao didn't look back, and I don't know if she did.
“…Master, Miss Jun looked back and has now turned the corner.” Xiao Ding said.
He was not a rich young man and did not need to be reserved, so he kept looking back.
Ning Yunzhao glanced at him, thought about it, and then looked back.
Sure enough, the girl was no longer seen on the street.
I didn't expect to meet her.
What a coincidence.
Life is like this, there are always unexpected little surprises.
Moreover, she had a very good conversation with him just now, they were just nodding acquaintances, and it was really nice that they could still be like this now.
A smile appeared on Ning Yunzhao's lips, and he walked forward briskly.
However, he just forgot to congratulate her for curing King Huai.
He paused, but there was nothing to congratulate him for. Her ability to cure Prince Huai was a trivial matter that was expected and not worth mentioning.
Ning Yunzhao continued to move forward, and Xiao Ding also breathed a sigh of relief and his steps became lighter.
It’s great that I can finally have a good year.
The employees in Jiulingtang had already gone back to celebrate the New Year. Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu were watching two maids sweeping and tidying up the hanging peach charms.
"What delicious food did Aunt Liu make?" Chen Qi asked with a smile when he saw Miss Jun and her servant coming in.
"They are all snacks from Yangcheng." Miss Jun said, while letting Liu'er open it, "Try them."
Fang Jinxiu and Chen Qi came over and asked the two maids to come and try it. As they were chatting and laughing, there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Who is it so late?" Chen Qi said in surprise.
"Does illness come early or late?" Fang Jinxiu said, "Illness doesn't last until the New Year."
He went to open the door, but the person who came was not here to see a doctor, but the shopkeeper Liu.
"Shopkeeper Liu, why are you here?" Liu'er asked in confusion.
They had just returned from his house.
Shopkeeper Liu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I just received news that the Queen Mother asked you to accompany the ladies to the palace to pay tribute in the first month of the year," he said.
Going to the palace to pay respects is a great gift.
The room was quiet for a moment, then filled with joy.
"I knew it. How could you only give me silver for saving Prince Huai without any reward?" Chen Qi clapped his hands and said, "So the reward is here."
When she goes to the palace to pay her respects together with the ladies of the court, the empress dowager will certainly call Miss Jun to speak to her alone. In front of so many ladies of the court, Miss Jun's fame will be greatly increased.
Fang Jinxiu also smiled, a rare occurrence.
"Let me arrange the formal dress for entering the palace. Miss Jun, you don't have to worry." Shopkeeper Liu said, rubbing his hands again, "I have also invited a few female officials from the palace. When the time comes, they will come back to explain the etiquette of entering the palace to you, Miss. You don't have to be nervous."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Don't be nervous, Manager Liu," she said.
Next, she wanted to say that no one was needed to teach her, but seeing how excited and nervous everyone was, Miss Jun felt inexplicably sad.
Rather than acting like you don't have a problem and don't need help, it's more comforting and soothing to have them do something.
Thinking of this, she nodded.
“The time is a bit tight, but I will study hard.”
Shopkeeper Liu nodded with satisfaction.
"I got this information through my connections. Someone in the palace will come to inform you soon. This time, treating Prince Huai is, after all, a competition with the Imperial Hospital. The nobles don't like this kind of thing." He added solemnly, "Your identity as a female doctor is extremely advantageous for being summoned by the Queen Mother this time. If you handle it properly, you can alleviate your previous unstable image."
Miss Jun smiled and said yes.
Shopkeeper Liu twisted his beard with a happy expression and glanced at Jiulingtang.
The imperial edict of the previous emperor in the possession of the Fang family is right here, and now it is about to be valued by the current emperor. This way, Jiulingtang has completely established its foothold in the capital.
It's only half a year. For Miss Jun, it's not very difficult to live in the capital.
"We can have a good New Year this year." Shopkeeper Liu said with emotion.
Compared to the happiness of others, Doctor Geng from the Imperial Hospital was very unhappy.
The Imperial Hospital also began to rest, but Jiang Youshu, as the dean, continued to guard the hospital diligently and responsibly. This was his habit and was highly praised by everyone.
"Master, why are you speaking well of Miss Jun?" he said, looking aggrieved, "Everyone is obviously saying bad things about her, but you just say good things about her."
Jiang Youshu put down the medical records in his hand.
"What's wrong with her? Didn't she just say a few impolite words?" he said. "Even if it's not, it was she who cured Prince Huai. If we don't praise her, who else can we praise?"
When everyone sees the good in someone, but you insist on saying that he or she is not good, not only will this not really make that person a bad person, but it will make you look ridiculous.
Doctor Geng was embarrassed.
"Master, you are really broad-minded." He complimented, "She was so rude to us, but you still spoke well of her. She looked down on our medical skills, but you tried your best to praise her medical skills."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel aggrieved and indignant.
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother did not intend to summon her at first. It was because you, Master, praised her so highly that the Queen Mother became curious and wanted to meet her. But it was the Queen Mother who summoned her, and it was during the court ceremony. This was a great honor for her."
Jiang Youshu smiled.
"It's better to have a big face," he said.
It will be easy to get hit in the face in the future, and then it will not be her own face that is hit, but the face of the royal family.
The result will necessarily be more painful.
Such a good opportunity, just like the closer it gets to festivals, the more he likes to be on duty in the Imperial Hospital, because fewer people get sick during festivals, and those nobles are superstitious about festivals and like to postpone their illness until after the festival. Of course he has to do this kind of job that is both leisurely and makes him appear responsible.
Let her have a good new year first.
…
At dawn on the first day of the first lunar month, Miss Jun's carriage left Jiuling Hall and headed straight for the palace under the watchful eyes of the shopkeeper Liu and Chen Qifang.
"The carriage will stop on the road. Miss, please don't walk around after you get off the carriage."
"The men went to see the emperor, while the women went directly to the harem."
"The ladies of honor stand in different places. They are divided into inner ladies, outer ladies, and princesses. Miss, you should stand in the outer ladies section. Don't stand in the wrong place."
The palace maids who had been released from the palace and invited by Shopkeeper Liu to the carriage were still giving final instructions.
Miss Jun was interrupted from her trance and smiled at her.
“So many rules,” she said.
"Yes, there are many rules for audiences." The maid said solemnly, "Miss, you don't know."
Miss Jun nodded. Yes, she really didn’t know.
In the past, she was the one who was received in audience, or was led by her mother, or sat next to the empress. She had no idea what it was like to wait outside.
