Chapter Ninety-Five: Sick



Yinzhen replied decisively and swiftly, "Your subject dares to accept."

Kangxi was somewhat surprised by the speed of his reply.

Don't you even consider it?

After all, she was a really lazy princess, and he was worried about their life after marriage.

Is everything really okay?

Are you really that indiscriminate?

Seeing his father's surprised look, Yinzhen knew he had replied too quickly. He then said awkwardly, "In my condition, it's already a blessing to have someone I can touch. As for being lazy, well, I'm not marrying a wife to manage the household."

He only asked for something to keep the bed warm; he didn't ask for much else.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi also thought of his situation. His seventh son already had a concubine to serve him in bed, while this son was still a virgin! No wonder, no wonder he was in such a hurry.

He nodded and said, "Since you have no objections, it would be appropriate to have Alhatu's only daughter as your consort. I'll give you a definite answer today: I will bestow Tong Cheng'er upon you as your consort."

With a shy yet joyful expression, Yinzhen said, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty."

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: I finally got what I wanted. Although what happened yesterday was an accident, the result was good.

He never expected things to go so smoothly.

Yesterday, my wife suddenly appeared in my arms, and today, Father Emperor intends to bestow a marriage upon us.

Thinking this, he chuckled to himself.

Su Peisheng, watching from the side, smiled and asked, "Master, is there any good news?"

Yinzhen was in a good mood and said, "It is indeed a happy occasion. Go and get a set of all the items that Consort Tong likes in her boudoir and put them in Yaocheng Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, and considering that his master had just come out of the Emperor's study, and recalling what happened yesterday, Su Peisheng understood everything. It seemed that the Emperor had already decided to betroth Tong Gege to his master.

Finally, the Fourth Prince's residence will have a mistress.

A servant's duty is to worry about what his master worries about and rejoice in what his master rejoices in, so Su Peisheng was also very happy. He accepted the order and went to procure the items.

While it's said that they're buying items, there's really nothing to buy. After all, Yaocheng Courtyard was built according to Tong Gege's preferences, and the arrangement of the items inside is also based on Tong Gege's habits.

We'll add a few more things, but they'll just be the latest trends, since the master is most afraid of mistreating Princess Tong.

Sometimes Su Peisheng even wondered, how come it's Tong Gege?

There are women prettier than her. Putting aside everything else, even the idle women in the master's backyard are all beautiful in their own unique ways.

He's a rootless man, so he can't be considered a real man. I really don't understand what real men are thinking; they don't care about beauty, they just want to be lazy.

His master is truly incomprehensible!

However, as a servant, he was sure to obey orders. He should hurry up and search for fashionable items. If Consort Tong entered the mansion and was happy, he would surely receive a lot of rewards.

Following a master who is never short of money, although his temper is a bit hard to fathom, he is very generous!

On the other side, Tong Cheng'er was a little frightened after returning from the Imperial Garden. After falling asleep, she felt hot and unknowingly kicked off half of the quilt. No one covered her with a quilt during the night, and she got cold.

The next morning, after washing up, Yingyu noticed that Tong Cheng'er was still asleep. She figured that she might have been overthinking things because of yesterday's events and had gone to bed late.

She didn't have the heart to wake her, but if she didn't get up soon, she would be late.

Yingyu walked to Tong Cheng'er's bedside and saw that half of the quilt was hanging down. She first moved the quilt to her bed, then lifted the half of the quilt that was still on her body and called out, "Cheng'er, it's time to get up, or you'll be late."

Tong Cheng'er vaguely heard someone calling her. Her mind was a complete mess, and her head felt incredibly heavy. She mumbled, "Sleepy... I feel awful, don't get up~"

Upon hearing this, Yingyu continued, "If we don't get up now, we'll really be late."

Tong Cheng'er still didn't get up, grunted a few times like a little pig, and continued to lie down.

Yingyu felt that things couldn't continue like this, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Just as she touched Tong Cheng'er, she realized something was wrong. Why was she so hot?

Yingyu immediately touched her forehead.

My forehead was burning hot.

Is it getting hot?

Judging from the appearance, it seemed quite serious. Yingyu didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly went to find the head nanny.

Given Tong Cheng'er's condition, she probably won't be able to practice calligraphy today.

As luck would have it, the head maid Yingyu went to had just received a favor from Su Peisheng. So, as soon as she heard that Princess Tong was sick, she immediately sent someone to the Imperial Hospital.

She herself followed Yingyu into the room to see Tong Cheng'er in person.

The old woman was a worldly person; she could tell it was quite serious just by touching it with her hand.

She sent Yingyu to the needlework room and then summoned two attentive palace maids to serve her.

The imperial physician arrived neither too quickly nor too slowly. After all, Tong Cheng'er wasn't exactly a noble person in the palace, so the physician treated her with some neglect, depending on her individual circumstances.

After taking his pulse, the imperial physician said calmly, "You've been frightened and chilled, so you have a fever. I'll prescribe a medicine for you; just drink it and rest more."

After seeing the imperial physician off, the head maid realized that she hadn't informed Su Peisheng yet!

She instructed someone to prepare the medicine, and then went to deliver the message to Su Peisheng.

Since Yinzhen had already established his own residence, the news naturally didn't spread as quickly as it had before when people in the palace learned of it. By the time Su Peisheng found out, it was almost evening.

Upon learning this, he dared not delay and immediately told Yinzhen about it.

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen became extremely worried.
