Chapter 396: Beating



The Queen Mother came in a hurry, and although she brought a large number of people with her, she did not put on any ostentation.

Emperor Jingming hurried over and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"

The Queen Mother stopped everyone from greeting her and asked directly, "Is Fuqing's eyes really healed?"

As they were talking, they had already returned to the palace. Princess Fuqing stepped forward and bowed deeply to the empress dowager: "Granddaughter pays respect to the royal grandmother."

Not only were the people of the Great Zhou open-minded, the emperor was also open-minded and generous. There was no rule of kneeling down all the time. Even if a minister came before the emperor, if it was a private occasion, bowing was enough.

Princess Fuqing paid great respects to the empress dowager, which shows how serious she was.

The Queen Mother immediately helped Princess Fuqing up and said, "Let the Royal Grandmother take a look."

Princess Fuqing stood up, raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.

When the Queen Mother saw her bright eyes smiling and sparkling, she no longer had any doubts and exclaimed, "She is really healed!"

Princess Fuqing smiled and said, "I never thought that the Royal Grandmother was so kind and young."

The Queen Mother took Princess Fuqing into her arms and said repeatedly: "There is no child in the palace who is more lovable than you. Now your eyes have healed. It is really God's blessing..."

Princess Fuqing smiled and said, "I am lucky to have your mercy, but I am also indebted to my sister-in-law."

The Queen Mother cast a sharp glance at Jiang Si who was standing side by side with Yu Jin.

Jiang Sifu bowed and said, "The grandson's wife has met the royal grandmother."

The Queen Mother's gaze lingered on Jiang Si's face for a long time. Her tone was neither suspicious nor kind, just like what she would say to most people: "Did the princess cure her eye disease?"

Jiang Si maintained his polite attitude and said, "My grandson's wife is just a privilege."

"Lucky?" The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Fuqing has suffered from eye disease for so many years and has seen countless doctors, but no doctor has been so lucky as to do this."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Yu Jin stretched out her hand and naturally pulled Jiang Si over, smiling and saying, "Grandmother, it is a great joy that Fuqing's eyes have been cured. I think even if there is no amnesty, we should celebrate it. If you punish those doctors for not curing Fuqing's eyes, I and the princess will feel embarrassed..."

The Queen Mother suddenly had the urge to roll her eyes.

Is that what she meant?

When he was about to speak, Emperor Jingming had already opened his mouth and scolded him: "Seventh Brother, if you don't study hard, don't use nonsense words!"

Yu Jin said shyly: "My son will study hard in the future."

"Mother, please don't get angry with this idiot..."

The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "It is a great joy that Fuqing's eyes have recovered. I am so happy that I can't wait..."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Si again, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "I just don't know how the princess cured Fuqing's eyes? I only know that the princess is a girl from the Dongping Earl's Mansion. Could it be that she has learned medical skills?"

Even if she had studied medicine, it was ridiculous for a teenage girl to be better than all the famous doctors.

Jiang Si said calmly, "The granddaughter-in-law has never learned any medical skills. She was able to cure the princess. It was probably because God saw that the princess was pitiful and lovable, so he used the granddaughter-in-law's hand to cure her."

The Queen Mother frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"Mother, the seventh daughter-in-law knew how to cure Fuqing's eyes as soon as she saw her. This is probably God's will." Emperor Jingming said with a smile.

The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Jingming with a strange look in her eyes, thinking: Does the Emperor believe this? Has the Emperor, who she has watched grow up, become stupid?

Emperor Jingming did not feel uncomfortable at all.

He is the emperor. Is it okay for God to feel pity for his daughter and use someone else's hands to heal her eyes?

Anyone in a high position would always want to create some unusual scene to prove his or her extraordinary status. This is why many unofficial and even official histories record that when a certain person was born, there was a red light flashing in the sky, or the room was filled with strange fragrance. At the very least, before the child's mother gave birth, she would dream that a god stuffed an elixir into her mouth.

The Queen Mother did not understand the Emperor Jingming's thoughts, so she asked directly, "So, the Princess of Yan knew it by nature?"

Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "That's right."

That's bullshit!

The Queen Mother decided to ignore Emperor Jingming and then asked Jiang Si: "So what else can the Princess of Yan cure?"

Jiang Si showed no fear at all, but was extremely respectful: "My grandson's wife doesn't know either. Maybe she will know when she sees someone with a strange disease."

"It's really amazing." The Queen Mother's tone did not reveal whether she was happy or angry.

Jiang Si said calmly, "My grandson's wife once heard that Miss Cui cured the Royal Grandmother's illness by cutting her own flesh, and she also thought it was miraculous."

Cui Mingyue, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly had a look of surprise in her eyes.

She hasn't said anything yet, but Princess Yan actually took the initiative to provoke her?

Cui Mingyue hadn't experienced this kind of surprise and anger for a long time, and her eyes turned cold with anger.

Emperor Jingming laughed: "There have been many happy events recently. The Queen Mother is in good health, Fuqing's eye disease has been cured, and several princes have married. I think what the Seventh Prince said is right, and it is time for everyone to celebrate--"

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother interrupted Emperor Jingming.

"Mother?"

The Queen Mother said calmly, "There is no need for universal celebration. The loss of money and property by the people will reduce their blessings."

Emperor Jingming disagreed: "How can I pray for my mother and queen at the expense of the people and their property?"

The Queen Mother was a little confused.

Why did it come up with praying for her?

Seeing that Emperor Jingming was determined to insist, the Queen Mother had no choice but to say, "It's a good thing that Fuqing's eyes have recovered. We should celebrate. But we can just hold a family dinner. It's also a good opportunity for Fuqing to meet people."

Emperor Jingming thought about it and nodded: "I will listen to my mother."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and held out her hand: "Your Majesty, you will be responsible for preparing the family banquet. You cannot let Fuqing down. I am tired, Princess Yan, please help me return to the palace. I would like to hear you talk about the rare things you are born with."

Having said this, she glanced at Yu Jin and said calmly, "Prince Yan doesn't need to follow. I will have someone send Princess Yan back later."

Yu Jin was about to say something when a bare hand gently pulled him back.

Jiang Si stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's hand: "Father, Mother, your daughter-in-law will take her leave for now."

Being taken away in front of the Emperor, Jiang Si certainly didn't worry that the Queen Mother would punish the bride.

As for verbal attacks, who cares?

All the way to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother did not speak, until she entered the inner hall and dismissed everyone, then she said indifferently: "Princess Yan, no matter what your ability is, since you have become a member of the royal family, you must behave properly in the future and don't make any mistakes."

"My grandson's wife knows."

"Also, please stop saying things that mislead people in the future."

"My grandson's wife knows."

No matter what the Queen Mother said, Jiang seemed to be able to cope with all kinds of changes with the same attitude, and yet he was so respectful that no one could find fault with him.

At the end, the Queen Mother's mouth was dry from talking, and she took a sip of tea and said, "Mingyue, you can send Princess Yan out."

Cui Mingyue smiled at Jiang Si and said, "Cousin, I'll take you out."

Jiang Si looked at Cui Mingyue steadily and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work."
