Chapter 91 The Reward Arrives
Emperor Xiao Xuan was in a good mood and played three games of chess with Ye Yunshu.
Although he had gone to great lengths to let Ye Yunshu win the last game, Ye Yunshu still lost decisively.
"Your chess skills are..." Emperor Xiao Xuan didn't know what to say.
"What are you worried about? I'm not using chess skills to choose a husband, so it doesn't matter if I'm bad at it."
Besides, wasn't my mother's chess skill just like that?
My mother once told me that no matter who was in the Ye family branch, all they needed to do was to play the coin well; everything else...
Needlework, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all unimportant!
My calculations are good, and my accounts are accurate; that's enough.
"Your Majesty, why don't you and I have a contest of arithmetic?" Ye Yunshu joked with a smile.
Emperor Xiao Xuan quickly waved his hand.
Planning to calculate the accounts? Who could possibly be a match for this girl? In that area, she not only has a photographic memory but can also multitask.
Using one hand to hold an abacus, calculating two sets of accounts...
The Ye family women's talent is truly frightening...
"Alright, playing chess... is just a pastime, it doesn't matter if you don't know how."
That's enough for today! You've come to the palace today not to investigate anyone's accounts, nor to interrogate anyone.
"What are you doing here? Just to have a few snacks?" Emperor Xiao Xuan asked, looking at Ye Yunshu who had already wiped her hands and was eating the snacks.
Ye Yunshu finished eating the snack in her hand at a leisurely pace, and then wiped her hands clean.
Then he got up and walked from the chessboard to the center of the Hall of Diligent Governance.
She clasped her hands above her head and solemnly knelt before Emperor Xiao Xuan.
Emperor Xiao Xuan felt a little strange looking at Ye Yunshu, who had kowtowed three times.
This girl... so serious, is she planning to kill someone again...?
"you……"
"I know that you didn't let me into the palace on your birthday, which was also a way of protecting me."
Although I have already sent the congratulatory gift to the palace in advance, I still need to tell you in person.
"May you be blessed with peace, happiness, and longevity!" Ye Yunshu said, then performed another deep kneeling bow.
Emperor Xiao Xuan felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.
"Alright, alright! I understand. Get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't let your knees get cold."
...
After Ye Yunshu came out of the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zheng Wanwan personally escorted Ye Yunshu towards the palace gate.
Along the way, Zheng Wanwan whispered to Ye Yunshu about her duties after entering the palace.
Besides brewing tea for Emperor Xiao Xuan, her favorite thing to do was to stop the people from entering Ronghua Palace.
"They delivered soup six times, snacks five times, and sent people to invite His Majesty four times."
I blocked them all.
I was delighted to see them looking at my face with such helplessness.
However, they haven't been coming much lately.
Ah, I really do miss them...
Zheng Wanwan sighed as she spoke.
"Alright! You'll get used to it."
Don't worry, I said I would bring you out of the palace in three years, and I will definitely bring you out of the palace in three years.
"Take good care of yourself while I'm not in the palace. Also, I didn't get to eat the sandalwood nectar cakes you made this time. Make them for me next time!" Ye Yunshu said to Zheng Wanwan with a smile.
Zheng Wanwan immediately smiled and agreed.
...
Song Zhimian had a fever for almost two days.
It's not that I have a high fever, but my body feels hot and I'm a little drowsy...
She knew that her deep back wound would definitely become infected, and there were no anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics available...
Let it burn! It's better than losing your life!
Lian Qiao has been taking care of Song Zhi Mian without taking off her clothes these past two days.
In the past two days, many people have come to visit Song Zhimian.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess send people over at least three times a day to check on things, and all sorts of tonics and medicinal herbs are delivered to Zixiao Pavilion like a flowing stream.
Xiao Huaijin would bring Princess Yongxin with him every evening.
How is Song Zhimin doing? Is her wound any better? Should he go back to the countryside to find some traditional Chinese medicine doctors to take another look...?
In addition, Ronghua Palace also sent many valuable gifts, and the twelfth prince secretly came over twice.
He said he wanted to thank Song Zhimian in person, but he never got to see her!
...
Song Zhimian was in a daze, feeling that her mind was a little clearer, but she felt like she had no strength at all.
She turned her head, intending to ask Lian Qiao if she could get up and walk around today.
She had just turned her head when she saw a small head staring at her from the side of the bed.
"Your Highness?" Song Zhimian was startled.
Why is the little prince coming here at this time?! What if something happens to him here again? I won't even be able to protect him...
"Master Song, are you feeling any better? I've been keeping watch here for a long time, but I didn't dare to wake you because you were sleeping with your brows furrowed."
Are you still in pain? Have you taken your medicine? The medicine may taste bitter, but it's good for your injury!
"You can't stop taking medicine just because it tastes bitter!" Xiao Jingjue said earnestly.
Just as Song Zhimian was about to speak, Lian Qiao lifted the curtain and came in carrying the medicine.
"I reckon you should be awake by now. Drink this bowl of medicine and you should be able to get out of bed."
From now on, you just need to apply the medicine every day!
Upon hearing this, Song Zhimian quickly drank the bowl of medicine from Lian Qiao's hand.
As soon as she finished drinking and rinsing her mouth, Xiao Jingjue immediately took the candied fruit from the box and handed it to Song Zhimin.
Song Zhimian breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that her mouth was no longer so bitter.
Looking at Xiao Jingjue, who was still standing in front of her with a hint of guilt, Song Zhimian's first question was, "Your Highness, did you have anyone with you when you came here?"
"Yes! There are four eunuchs and four guards, and there are probably others following them in secret!"
My grandfather, father, and seventh uncle all sent people to my side.
"They're all guarding outside right now, I haven't let them in!" Xiao Jingjue quickly said.
Song Zhimian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was just about to tell Xiao Jingjue to go back as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingjue suddenly took two steps back and then bowed respectfully.
"I am very grateful to Master Song for saving my life that day."
Looking at the serious-looking Xiao Jingjue, Song Zhimian suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Alright! This is my duty! Your Highness, please don't stand on ceremony. Play here for a while, and then we'll have someone send you back..."
Before Song Zhimian could finish speaking, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
...
"His Majesty bestowed upon Lady Song Zhimian two hundred taels of gold and two boxes of pearls."
Song Zhimian was promoted to the rank of fifth-grade master of ceremonies and awarded a gold medal bestowed by the emperor for her service in the inner palace…
Song Zhimian, still lying on the bed, was a little dazed.
Has he already been promoted from a sixth-rank master of ceremonies to a fifth-rank master of ceremonies?
That's rising a bit too fast!
There was also a gold medal bestowed by the emperor...
