"Empress Dowager, Prince Jingling is here."
When Nanny Gui came in from outside the hall, Jiang Li had already seen Gu Qingchen walking in front of everyone with a cold expression on his face and his eyes were very cold.
"Your son pays homage to your mother."
Upon hearing the news that Jiang Li was summoned, Gu Qingchen immediately put down the chess game with the emperor, left the imperial study without looking back, and went straight to Yongning Palace.
When Gu Yuyan saw Gu Qingchen, her eyes narrowed into slits. The fierce look she had just given Jiang Li had now transformed into an innocent and pure smile. She glanced at Jiang Li provocatively and said sweetly, "Uncle!"
Instead of the expected gentle response, the man subconsciously took a step back, his eyes darkening, his face covered in a layer of ice. "I wonder what the fate is between Ah Li and the Ninth Princess? I want to hear it too."
As soon as he entered Yongning Palace, he saw the maidservant beside Xiaojiu pacing in the corner with a pale face. He thought that she had done something bad again. When he thought that Jiang Li might be targeted because of his entry into the palace, he could not hide the emotion in his eyes.
"Uncle, I..."
Gu Yuyan's expression changed instantly. Sure enough, Concubine Yue was right! With Jiang Li, the emperor's uncle would also change! She hated Jiang Li!
"Since the prince also wants to know, let me tell you." Jiang Li took over the conversation with a smile.
Gu Yuyan was indeed fearless, but Jiang Li was invited by the Queen Mother after all. If she took the initiative to take him away and lock him up, she would definitely be punished if the Queen Mother knew about it.
What's more, Gu Qingchen is still here.
Since she was asked to help detoxify, Jiang Li was sure that she was safe no matter what.
but.
Just when Gu Yuyan clenched her palms, thinking that even if she was punished, she would never let Jiang Li have an easy time, Jiang Li's next words made her face change again.
"The palace is so huge that I was dizzy when I came in. If I hadn't met the Ninth Princess's maid, I really wouldn't know what to do." After saying that, Jiang Li's gaze fell on Gu Yuyan's face. The little girl was obviously a little surprised.
"Oh? That's quite a coincidence." The Queen Mother smiled, thinking that this girl from the Jiang family was really interesting.
He not only filed a complaint but also saved face for Xiaojiu. I don't know how Chen'er found such a clever and eccentric girl.
"Then Xiaojiu, you must remember to reward your little maid on behalf of the Empress Dowager. Do you hear me?"
Miao'er, the little maidservant hiding in the corner outside the palace, finally let go of her heart, which had been in her throat. Great! The future princess is such a good person! I must speak well of her in front of the Ninth Princess in the future! Woo woo woo, I almost thought I was dead this time.
"yes……"
Gu Yuyan lowered her head and agreed. She didn't understand why Jiang Li did this?
What a great opportunity to make a complaint! If it were any other brothers or sisters, they would definitely take the opportunity to say bad things about her. Everyone would be eager for her to be punished!
"Your Highness, I know a little bit about medicine. Since I have nothing else to do, how about I help you take your pulse?"
There was no need to dwell on this matter anymore. Jiang Li felt that the Queen Mother's pulse was not right at that time, but was distracted by the Ninth Princess.
Thinking about the subsequent development of Qin Ji as described in the book, which was closely related to the old man and the young man in front of him, Jiang Li naturally had to take action to sort out the plot.
When the Queen Mother saw Gu Qingchen nod, she knew that this girl must have understood more than just a little.
"Ninth Princess, you come too."
After dismissing everyone, Jiang Li brought the Queen Mother and Gu Yuyan to the side room.
"Your Majesty, my method may be different from that of the imperial physician, but don't worry, it will not harm your health."
Jiang Li took out an acupuncture kit from the system, which contained specially made silver needles. They were like detectors connected to the system, and the system would provide real-time feedback on the inspection results.
The Queen Mother cooperated, but Gu Yuyan couldn't understand it.
"Jiang Li, are you targeting me on purpose?"
She is not sick, so why should she prick the back of her hand into a hedgehog like the Empress Dowager?
Jiang Li burst out laughing. "Ninth Princess is so clever! How did you know I was deliberately pricking you with a needle under the pretext of checking your pulse?"
"You!" Gu Yuyan had never been confronted so directly before. "Grandmother, did you hear that?! Punish her!"
The Queen Mother was about to die of laughter at these two funny guys. She suppressed her laughter and said, "Then punish Li Er by making her eat one less dish at lunch later!"
"Grandmother!" Gu Yuyan's face was wrinkled into a bun.
"If the Ninth Princess is afraid of pain, forget it," Jiang Li pretended to put away the acupuncture bag. "I'll go out later and tell the prince that it's not that I don't want to take the Ninth Princess's pulse, it's that the Ninth Princess is afraid of pain."
When Gu Qingchen was mentioned, Gu Yuyan's face instantly fell again, "This princess is not afraid of pain! Don't even think about blaming this princess!"
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand in front of Jiang Li.
The Empress Dowager didn't even frown, so she shouldn't be in pain, right? Yes, she should let Jiang Li take her pulse, so that she would appear more important.
Jiang Li understood Gu Yuyan's rebellious little girl's thoughts very well.
It's just puberty, she understands.
By lunchtime, Gu Yuyan was fussy again. Jiang Li had supposedly been punished by skipping one dish, but the Empress Dowager had ordered no fewer than twenty dishes. Why didn't she just make a full banquet?!
"The Empress Dowager is in good health," Jiang Li said calmly, as if nothing had happened. "It's normal for older people to have headaches. It's just that the weather is getting hotter, and I'm worried that the Empress Dowager won't be able to rest well. I'll have someone send some Qi-relief pills later. You can take them with water morning and night."
After saying that, Jiang Li ate a vegetable meatball in front of him. It was delicious!
The next moment, she scooped one into Gu Qingchen's bowl.
"Jiang Li, you..." Gu Yuyan was stunned. It was over. Jiang Li was in trouble. Last time at the Plum Blossom Banquet, Princess Yong'an poured a glass of wine for the emperor's uncle, and both she and the wine cup were thrown out.
Wait, shouldn't she be taking advantage of the situation to kick someone when they're down? Why is she worried about Jiang Li?
But when she thought about how Jiang Li patted her head after she had just asked for her pulse, produced a candy she had never seen before, and praised her for her bravery, Gu Yuyan hesitated.
"Thank you for your hard work, A'li." Gu Qingchen was silent for a moment, then quickly smiled and naturally picked up the meatballs in the bowl and put them into his mouth. "Since it's not a medicinal soup, now mother can't secretly pour it away again."
The Queen Mother glared at Gu Qingchen. This boy, his future wife just picked up some food for him, but he was so arrogant. It was really unbearable to look at him.
"Don't worry about Li'er laughing at you, I'm really not able to endure hardships at this age."
Jiang Li raised her beautiful eyes slightly, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, my meatballs are sweet."
I have to say, the interaction between the three of them is really pleasing to the eye.
Gu Yuyan was stunned.
It’s just that her own uncle was a little too exaggerated. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his smile was faint, and his eyes were almost glued to Jiang Li. Gu Yuyan suddenly felt a little disgusted.
"Ninth Princess, what did you mean by calling me just now?"
Suddenly, Jiang Li put down his chopsticks and looked over, and Gu Yuyan was stunned.
