"And she even invited Madam Geng along?" Qian Shengyan was somewhat surprised. "Is Madam Nian so kind-hearted?"
"Perhaps it's just testing the waters," Qingxue said softly.
Qian Shengyan thought this was more likely. Perhaps Nian thought that since Geng was also unable to conceive, it wouldn't be too late to have the so-called miracle doctor treat Geng if it was effective.
The Nian family has a clever plan; perhaps they can even use this to win over the Geng family.
Qian Shengyan shook her head helplessly. Now that Madam Geng is focused on raising Hongzhou, she might not be easily fooled again. Let them be.
"My lady, the prince just went out. He said he'll be back later and wants to go see the taro with you," Qingxue said with a smile.
Qian Shengyan was pulled back to reality, her thoughts suddenly shifting from a domestic drama to a farming novel. She blinked before realizing, "Right, how are the chickens doing?"
"There's a skilled eunuch managing it, and I've heard it's quite good." Qingxue said with a hint of helplessness. Other families only farm and raise chickens because they have no other choice, but her family, as princes and grandsons of the emperor, insists on experiencing the pleasures of rural life.
Perhaps that's why a prince can be a prince; she didn't understand.
After finishing her breakfast, Qian Shengyan thought that Yinzhen would return soon, but after waiting and waiting, he did not come. So she coaxed Fuerguochun to play with building blocks while watching Hongli read, and occasionally she would steal a bite of Fuerguochun's snacks.
Yinzhen didn't return until just before lunch. As soon as he entered, he slammed the curtain shut and went into the inner palace with a dark expression.
Su Peisheng followed with a wry smile, bowing to Qian Shengyan and saying, "Master Qian, please persuade the Prince..."
"What... what happened?" Qian Shengyan was still confused.
Su Peisheng sighed: "Well, that divine physician said that Princess Geng's health can still be saved, but it requires Tian Shan snow lotus as medicine, so Consort Nian brought Princess Geng along to beg Your Highness..."
Qian Shengyan: ...
What kind of miracle doctor is this? He sounds like a fraud. Tian Shan snow lotus? Why doesn't he need winter dew or summer snow?
But she was genuinely curious: "Does the Prince have Tian Shan snow lotus in his treasury?"
“…Of course not.” Su Peisheng sighed. “Don’t even mention having one, we’ve never even heard of it.”
Qian Shengyan nodded in awe. As expected of a divine doctor, he only prescribes miraculous remedies.
Fortunately, Madam Geng's attitude was not so firm. That afternoon, she came to apologize, saying that it didn't matter whether her body could be cured or not; she just wanted to raise Hongzhou properly.
This confession pleased Yinzhen, so he opened the storeroom and rewarded her with some clothing and jewelry, and promised to visit Hongzhou that evening.
Geng left with profuse thanks, but Nian was furious.
"That wretched servant! She's truly a despicable thing!" Consort Nian gritted her teeth and raged in the palace. "Wasn't I doing this for her own good? Yet she shamelessly went and tried to sabotage me! That wretched servant, wait till she gets back, I'll kill her!"
"Miss, don't be angry. Doctor Su said that your mood is very important, and you must not get angry or sad." Granny Wei hurriedly patted Madam Nian's back and advised, "If you're unhappy, you can smash some things, but why make yourself angry?"
"It's all that wretched maid's fault!" Madam Nian sighed deeply, then took a deep breath. "Yes, I'm not angry. Doctor Su said he can cure my illness, I can..."
"Miss is right to think that way." Granny Wei said with a look of satisfaction.
As for the so-called Tianshan snow lotus, there is of course no such medicine in the world. When Doctor Su mentioned it, it was only to put an end to Geng's idea of being cured and to keep Nian's drinking of medicine out of everyone's sight.
"Consort, Lady Geng is back!" A maidservant at the door came in somewhat flustered to report.
Upon hearing this, Lady Nian was furious and was about to confront Lady Geng, but when she reached the door, she sensed something was wrong. The maid continued, "The Prince has also come with Lady Geng!"
"..." The Nian family almost left like that!
She was furious and turned around to slap the maid: "Idiot! If you can't speak properly, shut up!"
The slap was so hard that the unsuspecting maid was knocked to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
But she dared not actually cry out loud. She had to cover her face and quickly get up and kneel properly, otherwise, if her master saw her in such an unseemly state, she would probably get kicked a few more times.
When Lady Nian finished dressing up and went out again, she saw Lady Geng standing alone outside, looking on with longing eyes.
She rolled her eyes instinctively: "A lowly servant is a lowly servant, who are you trying to impress with this attitude!"
"Miss, the Prince came to see the Fifth Prince for a moment, and then left with him..." Granny Wei said softly, then watched as Madam Nian's face changed from beautiful and charming to gritted teeth, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Although Doctor Su said that after drinking the medicine, Miss's temper would become increasingly worse, she should be able to control herself. However, it was clear that it was too difficult for Madam Nian to control herself...
"You shameless woman, does having a son make you so great? You're despicable!" Madam Nian cursed a few more times, and angrily prepared to leave, but Granny Wei quickly stopped her: "Miss, are you going to see the Prince?"
“Exactly!” Mrs. Nian said, raising her chin.
Granny Wei sighed again and could only continue to gently persuade her, "Since the Prince took the Prince out, he must have something important to do. Miss, you should take your medicine and get well soon before you go to see the Prince."
“…That’s true.” Mrs. Nian frowned again. “What a hassle.”
Granny Wei didn't know what the trouble was, she just thought that when she saw Doctor Su tomorrow, she would still give her some advice and see if she could adjust Nian Shi's temper again.
Furthermore, she still needed to think about how to entice Qian Shengyan to see this miracle doctor...
