Seeing her quail-like obedient appearance, Shang Xingjian curled his lips, chuckled softly twice, and said in a deep voice: "I still like your unruly appearance."
The woman's cheeks flushed, and she raised her watery eyes and glared at the man quickly.
Shang Xingjian smiled and said, "When you are done, I have something to tell you."
Su Wanti glanced at the long line in the courtyard and said, "I estimate it will take an hour. Is what Your Highness wants to say urgent?"
"It's related to your father's disappearance."
"Then wait until I'm done. Firstly, this matter is important, but not urgent. Secondly, I'm a doctor. I said I'd give them free medical treatment and prescriptions today. I can't just abandon them."
Shang Xingjian nodded, "Then I'll wait for you here."
He took a few steps back, and the medicine boy hurried over and asked him to sit down in the room and have some tea.
After being rejected, the medicine boy went to move a chair over, placed it under the shade of the willow trees, and asked Shang Xingjian to sit there and wait.
The silver-robed general who had led the troops here yesterday was also there. He always led by example in the barracks and never asked for special treatment, so he also waited in line honestly in the medical team.
After taking the pulse and getting the prescription, he walked straight to Shang Xingjian.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is this Miss Su the palace doctor?" asked the silver-robed general.
Shang Xingjian didn't answer directly, but asked him: "Why are you asking this?"
The silver-robed general hesitated for a moment and said, "If she is a female doctor, she must come from a good family and would not suffer in the military camp. If she is a female doctor from the countryside, it would be much easier."
"Is it much easier?" Shang Xingjian frowned and said in a deep voice.
The silver-robed general continued, "Yes, if Miss Su were a commoner, then I would propose to marry her."
"Miss Su is beautiful, has excellent medical skills, is gentle and unpretentious. I want to marry her."
He talked to himself, glancing at Su Wanti from time to time with warm and sincere eyes, completely unaware of the eldest prince's frozen smile and white knuckles in front of him.
After the silver-robed general finished speaking, Shang Xingjian said slowly, "Give up the idea of marrying her. She will never marry in her lifetime."
For the first time, Shang Xingjian felt from the bottom of his heart that Su Wanti's determination not to get married was a good idea.
The silver-robed general's eyes widened. "Who said that? How is it possible? How can a woman not marry?"
Shang Xingjian smiled faintly and said nothing.
