Chapter 1148: This is unreasonable
Prince Mingxuan naturally had some doubts about Tang Bao's act of giving medicine as a gift.
However, he had long heard of Tang Bao's superb medical skills.
Therefore, he was still very tempted by the medicine in Tang Bao's hand.
After all, my leg was broken. What if I become disabled in the future?
Prince Mingxuan was still very worried about this.
Tang Bao saw Prince Mingxuan's hesitation and said bluntly, "I, Su Tang, never like to owe favors to others. Prince Mingxuan just had an argument with Princess Mingli and her brother because of me. Su Tang is naturally grateful for the prince's kindness. It's just a bottle of medicine, so I'll just consider it as repaying the prince for this favor!"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she threw the medicine bottle directly into Prince Mingxuan's arms and turned away.
Yang Ran looked at Tang Bao's straight back and suddenly felt that his original worries were totally unnecessary.
At the same time, I am glad that I let it go early.
Such a little girl, in terms of both intelligence and wisdom, is beyond his reach.
Here, Princess Rong looked at the medicine bottle in Prince Mingxuan's arms with a heavy gaze.
His future son-in-law actually broke his leg.
If I had this ointment, I would definitely be able to recover quickly...
As for what Tang Bao said about there being only one bottle, Princess Rong did not believe it.
However, no matter whether she believed it or not, she couldn't ask Tang Bao for it.
Princess Rong was thinking about discussing this matter with her prince after he came back from hunting.
Mrs. Xia and others were worried that Tang Bao was a young girl with a strong competitive spirit and would be sad if she lost the competition.
So, they followed Tang Bao away and began to comfort her.
Tang Bao also acted as if she was lost, saying that she was tired, and returned to the Empress Dowager's villa.
In the villa, when the Empress Dowager first heard that Tang Bao had lost, she was also stunned for a moment.
Later, I heard that Tang Bao was robbed by Princess Xi Qin and her group, and she showed an expression of "so that's what I saw".
"Princess Xi Qin robbed Fu Ya and is back safe and sound..." The Queen Mother asked hesitantly, "Did she encounter any misfortune?"
After all, Nanny Chen has been practicing in the palace for many years and is able to perfectly keep her emotions hidden.
So, after listening to the Queen Mother's words, he said, "In reply to the Queen Mother, Princess Xi Qin has not encountered any misfortune."
The Empress Dowager: “…”
This is very unreasonable.
At this time, Tang Bao came back, washed up, and came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Tang Bao, she immediately patted the brocade couch beside her and said to Tang Bao, "Come here and sit here with Grandmother."
Upon hearing this, Tang Bao ran over and snuggled up to the Queen Mother obediently.
The Queen Mother patted Tang Bao's head lovingly and comforted her, "It's just a loss in a competition. How can a little girl like you defeat the followers brought by Princess Xi Qin? They are so despicable that they even do things like robbery. It would be dishonorable for you to win."
Tang Bao apologized to Princess Mingli in her heart, but she said, "Grandma, I'm fine. She wants to win so badly, so let her win."
Tang Bao paused here, leaned her head against the Empress Dowager's arm, and her voice became softer and sweeter.
"She is, after all, a princess of Western Qin. Now Dayan and Western Qin want to form an alliance. She is in love with the Second Prince and wants to be his consort. She has many misunderstandings about me. Now she asks me not to marry the Second Prince in this life. It is understandable..." Tang Bao said slowly.
The Empress Dowager: "...What did you say? Second Prince?"
The Empress Dowager's face was full of disbelief.
Slowly, the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Bao changed.
What kind of person is the Empress Dowager?
Even if one has worshipped Buddha for many years, he is still extremely shrewd.
Tang Bao suddenly felt a little guilty under the gaze of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager treated her so well, she shouldn't have kept it secret from her.
Tang Bao's little head burrowed into the Queen Mother's arms, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Grandma, it was actually me who reminded Princess Mingli... to rob me..."
The more Tang Bao spoke, the lower her voice became.
The Empress Dowager: “…”
It was like a revelation, and I suddenly felt that this was exactly what I expected!
No wonder Princess Xi Qin was able to escape unscathed after robbing Fu Ya.
So that's what happened.
The Empress Dowager was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Then I felt some sympathy for Princess Mingli.
Could it be that he was sold out by Fu Ya and is still helping Fu Ya count the money?
As for her grandson, the Second Prince, the Empress Dowager had mixed feelings.
It is not difficult to guess what the Second Prince is thinking.
How could the Empress Dowager not guess it?
But some things cannot be forced.
Otherwise, you will only hurt yourself and others and end up trapped in your own web.
The conditions that Princess Mingli proposed to Tang Bao spread quickly.
At the same time, the news that Princess Mingli was in love with the second prince also spread widely.
Of course, these things cannot affect the enthusiasm of those who participate in the spring hunting.
In the competition on the second day, Prince Rong still won the first place.
Prince Rong's face was beaming with joy, and he was in high spirits. However, when he heard the news that his future son-in-law, Zheng Ziqian, had unfortunately broken his leg, the smile on his face froze.
"Where is Ziqian now?" Prince Rong frowned and asked, "Why are you so careless? How is your leg injury?"
Princess Rong said worriedly, "It's hard to say right now. After the accompanying imperial physician reconnected my son-in-law's leg bones, Lord Zheng was worried that it wouldn't be suitable for him to recover here, so he ordered Madam Zheng to take my son-in-law back to the capital."
Prince Rong frowned and said, "Have you ever asked Princess Ford to treat you?"
Princess Rong shook her head, an expression of disapproval on her face.
"Although the girl from the Su family is young, she is still a girl. Ziqian is a man, how can he let her see the wound on his leg? It won't cause any gossip! If the girl gets on with it, wouldn't that be bad luck?"
When Princess Rong said this, there was a hint of disgust in her tone.
"Besides, she's just a little girl. Even if she studied under a miraculous doctor, how many years of medical training did she have? She might be able to diagnose some illnesses, but she might not be able to heal bone injuries. She might faint from the sight of blood..."
Princess Rong became furious whenever she mentioned Tang Bao.
However, thinking that Tang Bao lost the bet and could not become the second prince's consort, she felt very happy.
After listening to Princess Rong's words, Prince Rong thought about it and felt that it made sense.
To treat a leg injury, you must roll up your pants to expose your thighs.
Men and women should not touch each other. If any rumors really spread, the marriage with the Zheng family might be in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, Prince Rong gave up the idea of letting Tang Bao treat Zheng Ziqian.
"Take Hui'er and visit Ziqian at the Zheng family someday," Prince Rong said. "Take some more herbs from the warehouse and find out the extent of Ziqian's leg injury. We absolutely cannot leave him disabled, otherwise it would hinder his career..."
Princess Rong naturally understood this.
If Zheng Ziqian became disabled, he would have no chance of becoming an official.
So, this marriage...
"I know." Princess Rong sighed and said, "Hui'er has been crying for most of the day since she heard that Zheng's son-in-law was injured."
My daughter is probably deeply in love with her son-in-law. If his legs become disabled, my daughter...
Princess Rong didn't want to think about it anymore. She cheered herself up and changed her tone, saying, "Your Highness may not know that the girl from the Su family lost the competition with Princess Xiqin, and now she has no chance of becoming the Second Prince's consort..."
Princess Rong was gloating over someone else's misfortune, but Prince Rong frowned.
"The Second Prince's Consort?"
Shouldn't she be the Third Prince's Consort?
Princess Rong smiled and told the whole story.
Finally, he said, "Princess Xi Qin has taken a fancy to the Second Prince. She heard that the Second Prince is interested in the girl from the Su family, so she deliberately provoked him."
Prince Rong: “…”
A thoughtful expression slowly appeared on his face, and he felt something was wrong.
