Of course not now.
Miss Jun smiled.
"You're a doctor, you practice medicine," she said.
Old Doctor Feng sighed and looked at the towering palace gate in front of him.
This is the imperial palace. In a moment he will meet the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the most noble person in the world.
"Miss Jun, I am actually just a bone-setting doctor," he said. "In this capital, most people who need bone-setting are poor and hardworking people. In the eyes of experts, we bone-setting doctors are not even considered doctors."
He never thought that this doctor, who was not really a doctor, would be able to meet the emperor one day.
How did he do this? How did he end up like this? It seemed like he hadn't done anything. Doctor Feng was a little confused for a moment.
"Okay, Doctor Feng, if you continue to be so anxious and upset the emperor, you really won't be able to be a doctor anymore." Miss Jun said with a smile, reaching out to take back her medicine box and put it on the car. "No one of us needs to take the medicine box. There is everything in the palace. We only need to take the smallpox vaccine."
These mumblings calmed down Doctor Feng a lot. He smiled awkwardly at Miss Jun and said nothing more.
The eunuch who verified their identities at the palace gate waved to them with a smile, and Miss Jun walked over with Doctor Feng.
When we arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, it seemed as if everyone in the entire palace was gathered there.
Compared to the children of concubines that I had seen during the New Year's greetings, there was one more.
Miss Jun looked at the middle-aged man in a dragon robe sitting in the middle and knelt down with her eyes lowered.
"Your Majesty," she said.
When I was young, I had no impression of this imperial uncle, after all, we had never had any contact. However, the New Year gifts sent from Shandong every year were the most substantial. Unlike the gold, silver, silk and satin given by other princes, the gifts given by the Prince of Qi were only local products from Shandong for food and drink.
When she and her father went to see the Emperor's grandfather, she heard the ministers praising the Prince of Qi for his loyalty to his duties and his love for his family.
Although she didn't quite understand their conclusion, she still liked the New Year gift from the emperor's uncle, especially the delicious pickled meat.
In her impression, the emperor's uncle was just a chubby peddler with a smiling face like the one in the New Year pictures.
Later, when her father and mother passed away, she met the emperor's uncle. He was just as she had imagined, plump and amiable, but he did not smile. Instead, he had a sad face and cried easily.
Because he said he felt like he was being roasted on the fire, he really couldn't stand it and wanted to go back to Shandong, but going back would be unfilial and staying would be unfaithful. He felt sad that he had become an unfaithful and unfilial person.
At that time Miss Jun also felt that he was really pitiful. It would be better for him to be a Prince of Qi and live a carefree life in Shandong than to be an emperor surrounded and scolded by ministers.
When the Prince of Qi finally ascended the throne and became emperor, they moved to the Prince Huai's Palace. They knew that life would be different from then on. They also knew that whether the Prince of Qi was willing or not, their existence would not be very pleasant for the emperor. So even though the Prince Huai's Palace was isolated, monitored, and forgotten, she did not have any resentment and never doubted anything.
Now think about it, I was really stupid.
My family is so stupid.
My father is such a fool.
Treat others with sincerity, but don't know the other party's evil intentions.
"How did my father die? How did my mother die?"
At that time she was kneeling in front of the emperor, and when he asked her with a loving look as usual if she had anything to say, she suddenly questioned him and drew her sword.
This is a soft sword. She doesn't have many things left for self-defense, and only has this sword. Because her master made it very beautifully, the sword has two layers, and the scabbard is used as a belt in daily life, so it is difficult to be found.
The eunuchs rushed over, smashed the memorials, the inkstone and the pen holder, and several tables were knocked over. The guards rushed in and chopped at him with their swords.
She has not yet received an answer.
How did my father die? How did my mother die?
"Stand up." The emperor's gentle voice fell from above your head.
Miss Jun and Dr. Feng Xie En stood up.
The Queen Mother could no longer wait and summoned Miss Jun to inquire about some details of the vaccination, including how many were successful and how many accidents occurred. In fact, the Jinyiwei had already collected and reported all these specific details.
Miss Jun answered them one by one, and the Queen Mother looked at the Emperor.
"Your Majesty." She asked with some request.
The emperor nodded.
"Then please ask Miss Jun to vaccinate the princes and princesses," he said.
Miss Jun answered yes and turned to call Doctor Feng.
Although Doctor Feng could hardly hide his nervousness, he still went forward as he was told.
"Why isn't it you, Miss Jun, who comes to get the vaccination?" the Queen couldn't help but ask.
"To answer your question, Your Majesty, I have never performed any vaccinations. I only make medicine. Vaccinations were performed by Doctor Feng and his colleagues," said Miss Jun.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager also knew this, and no one objected after hearing this.
Old Doctor Feng trembled as he vaccinated several princes and princesses. Although the princes and princesses cried, the vaccination was completed smoothly. However, they could not leave immediately after the vaccination.
"Stay in the palace for the time being in case of emergency," said the emperor.
This was to be expected, Miss Jun and Dr. Feng replied.
…
The empress took her concubines and children to leave, and Miss Jun and old doctor Feng followed them. Only the emperor and the empress dowager were left in the palace.
The emperor's gaze fell on Miss Jun's back, and his warm expression disappeared, becoming a little gloomy.
"Everything is fine," he said suddenly, "except the name."
The Queen Mother looked indifferent.
"It doesn't matter what the name is." She said, "If you don't want to live well, just erase it. If you don't appreciate your blessings, who can you blame?"
As she spoke, she looked at the emperor and smiled.
"You are extremely blessed, Emperor. You have been cured of smallpox and peace reigns over the world. God bless you."
The emperor stood up and saluted the empress dowager.
"Thank you, mother." He said sincerely.
…
As night falls, the lights are turned on, making the palace, which is majestic during the day, appear a little softer.
When Dr. Feng heard the door ring, he immediately stood up nervously, only to see Miss Jun walk in.
"It's okay, I just came to tell you that you should have a good rest, I'll watch over you tonight." She said with a smile.
Doctor Feng nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, you see better," he said.
Miss Jun left without saying anything more, and the maid who accompanied her led her to the other side of the palace with a lamp.
The princes and princesses did not return to their own residences, but were placed together in one palace for easier care.
The whirring lights in the corridor intertwined with the lights held by the little palace maids, lengthening Miss Jun's figure.
Suddenly Miss Jun staggered, and the young palace maid quickly caught her.
"Miss Jun, are you okay?" she asked concernedly.
Miss Jun shook her head.
"It's okay, it's okay." She said, a little embarrassed, "It's my first time staying in the palace."
This is the imperial palace. Even married princesses cannot stay here. Living here means you are enjoying great honor. It is normal for Miss Jun to be nervous and excited.
The little maid smiled.
"Sister, are you from the Empress Dowager's palace?" Miss Jun asked.
Perhaps it was this gaffe that brought people closer together, or perhaps it was the darkness of the night that made people willing to talk a few more words.
The little maid nodded.
"I didn't see my sister last time." Miss Jun said.
Last time, the little palace maid remembered that Miss Jun was summoned in the first month of the year.
"I am not qualified to serve in the main hall." The little palace maid smiled shyly.
It is true that her status is somewhat humble, but it takes great courage and kindness for her to take the initiative to admit it to a stranger.
"Sister, are there any children in your family who need to be vaccinated?" Miss Jun suddenly asked.
The little palace maid's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but hold the palace lantern tightly.
"Yes, yes." She nodded quickly.
Although I haven't been out to see the doctor, I have heard that it is difficult to get a vaccination number now.
"Write me the address later." Miss Jun said with a smile.
The little palace maid nodded hurriedly.
"Oh, and last time in the main hall, there was a sister named Bing'er or something who poured wine for me." Miss Jun thought of something else and looked at the little palace maid, "I wonder if there are any children in her family who need to be vaccinated."
