Chapter 216 This family fell apart without a sound.
When Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan entered, this was the scene of a loving father and filial sons. Xie Yunyang joked with a smile, "Father only has eyes for Second Princess now, how can he see his sons and daughters?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng quickly let go of Xie Yuxiao and ran to the two of them, grabbing one of them with each hand and helping Xie Yuxiao bring water: "Who said that? Father Emperor was just praising Crown Prince and Brother Sheng Sheng for their good performance at the hunt, which made Father Emperor very proud!"
Xie Yuxiao chuckled but remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
"Oh? The list is out?"
"Yes, yes, that was first! The Crown Prince was fourth! The brothers are all so amazing!"
The two seemed completely unsurprised by the result. Xie Yun-yang smiled and congratulated Xie Yun-chuan: "Congratulations, Second Brother, you've won first place again."
A voice asked in confusion, "Huh, was my brother in first place last year too?"
Xie Yunchuan patted her head: "What, do you underestimate your brother?"
"Of course not, I just think my brother is really amazing. I admire him so much." Sheng Sheng said with a smile, "Your Highness is also amazing. No wonder you are my brother. No wonder Father was so happy this morning."
Upon hearing this, all three people except Sheng Sheng laughed.
That's right, why be so serious? We're all family, we should laugh when we should.
The atmosphere was harmonious and warm, and Sheng Sheng secretly praised himself: "Ah, this family would fall apart if Sheng Sheng didn't exist!"
After their banter, the two decided to get down to business with Xie Yuxiao.
Xie Yunchuan got straight to the point: "Father, I would like to see that 'Rejuvenating Grass'."
Xie Yuxiao was not surprised and quickly had Eunuch Hou bring up the herb that had been sitting there.
Upon seeing the herbs that Eunuch Hou had brought up, Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan were overjoyed.
They had previously consulted Physician Zhou at the Imperial Hospital and had also carefully studied the medical books. This herb was exactly the same as the one depicted and described in the medical books.
Xie Yun was overjoyed: "This is the Rejuvenating Herb! I never expected that we would see the Rejuvenating Herb before we even had a chance to visit the two disciples of Physician Sikong!"
Xie Yunchuan's eyes also showed joy. Everyone said that the Rejuvenating Grass might be gone forever, but who knew that even the heavens would favor them and let the Rejuvenating Grass fall into their hands like a pie falling from the sky.
With the Rejuvenating Herb, Fourth Brother's leg can be cured!
Xie Yuxiao was unaware of the connection: "Is the Divine Physician Sikong the late, highly respected physician Sikong Qi? What is the relationship between Chuncao and the Divine Physician Sikong?"
The two explained the whole story and learned that Doctor Shen was in Haijin. Xie Yuxiao suggested, "Since Doctor Shen is in Haijin, why don't you take this Rejuvenating Herb with you? Maybe he will see you."
Sheng Sheng asked, puzzled, "But we already have the Rejuvenating Herb here, so why do we still need to go find Doctor Shen?"
Sheng Sheng paused, then realized what she had asked: "Sheng Sheng understands. It's because she wanted to ask Doctor Shen about the cultivation method of the Rejuvenating Herb, right?"
"Well, Fourth Brother needs to treat his leg ailment, which is a long-term solution. This one Rejuvenating Herb is far from enough. In any case, this one herb is just a drop in the ocean. Rather than keeping it, we might as well exchange it for a chance to meet Doctor Shen."
As for why they didn't directly reveal their identities and use their status as princes of the Yu Kingdom to pressure the divine physician Shen into not refusing to meet them, it was of course because they had their own considerations.
A doctor is a compassionate person; a physician who can save lives must have a kind heart, let alone such a renowned and virtuous doctor.
Besides being benevolent, people who reach this position will more or less have their own "attitude" and will naturally have more airs than ordinary people.
So it's okay if they don't get to meet you the first time; they have the patience to visit you a second time or even more.
Bringing the Rejuvenating Herb, which had been stolen from Doctor Shen, to see him was also a way to show their sincerity.
Xie Yuxiao waved his hand and said, "There's no time to lose. I think you should leave as soon as possible, lest the people leave Yu Kingdom."
The two thought the same and were about to agree when Xie Yuxiao waved his hand again: "Wait, let's go tomorrow."
The two were puzzled: "Father, why is this?"
Xie Yuxiao said, "Oh, in previous years the hunting rewards were gold and silver jewelry. This year we're tired of that. The top five will all be given temporary minor official positions. We'll announce it at the banquet tonight. You two, one is first and the other is fourth, so you should at least be there."
Xie Yunchuan didn't believe it. Given his father's personality, if it were any other time, he would probably tell them now or wait until they finished their business and then say a few words to them privately.
Why are they being asked to attend tonight's banquet?
Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan exchanged a glance, then looked at Xie Yuxiao with suspicion.
"..." Xie Yuxiao said calmly, "Oh, actually, I promised Shengsheng that I would accompany her to the bonfire party after the banquet tonight."
Xie Yunchuan sighed, and Xie Yunshang didn't know what to say either.
Sheng Sheng waved her hand and quickly said, "No need, no need. Of course, Fourth Brother's matter is more important. Sheng Sheng can go and play with Fifth Brother! Oh, and Brother Lu Chi too. They can accompany Sheng Sheng just the same."
It's a bit of a pity that I couldn't observe the interaction between Sister Yan Yan just now, but it's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future. If I missed Doctor Shen, it would be hard to have another chance.
Sheng Sheng is not an ignorant person.
Xie Yunchuan immediately became serious upon hearing Lu Chi's name.
He suddenly remembered that he had overheard some of his subordinates chatting, saying that a woman has two periods in her life when she is most likely to develop romantic feelings.
Firstly, around the age of 12, when a girl is just beginning to grow up, her heart is easily stirred. As her inner world gradually matures, a girl in her teens is at the most emotionally rich and sensitive, and also at the time when she is most curious and yearning about love between men and women, and is most likely to fall for someone.
Another stage is when a little girl is four or five years old, and she is curious about the world with a sense of wonder.
At this age, young girls are naive and innocent, possessing a pure and simple fondness for everything around them, making them most susceptible to dependence on someone. How many childhood sweethearts, while still innocent children, subtly develop a dependence on each other, only to realize later, when they've grown up, that their feelings have already taken deep root…
Xie Yunchuan pulled himself out of his memories and realized that he had been inexplicably annoyed by Lu Chi, a mere child. It turned out that he had sensed Lu Chi's ulterior motives all along!
The day he tricked Lu Chi into attending the hunt, wasn't it because he was annoyed by the way Lu Chi looked at Sheng Sheng?
