Lan Yun stood at the foot of the steps of the Hall of Diligent Governance, looking up expectantly at Su Peisheng and bowing: "Chief Steward Su, our young master's illness is getting worse..."
"His Majesty is very concerned about Consort Ru's illness, and he sends Imperial Physician Zheng to check her pulse every day." Su Peisheng said with a forced smile.
He said, "Imperial Physician Zheng is already the best physician in the Imperial Hospital for treating patients."
“Our mistress wishes to see the Emperor…” Lan Yun finished speaking, but seeing Su Peisheng’s displeased expression, she immediately said, “How can His Majesty’s health be put at risk? This servant will try to persuade our mistress.”
"You're a sensible person." Su Peisheng felt a little strange, but he still nodded and praised her, waiting for the palace maid to say something else.
As a result, Lan Yun didn't say anything.
After waiting there for a while, she estimated that it was about time, so she bowed to Su Peisheng and turned to go back.
Su Peisheng: ?
He stood at the door for a moment, then exclaimed "Huh?" for no apparent reason. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and went inside to report to the Emperor.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Qingxue standing by the door, smiling at him. Su Peisheng felt a little strange for some reason, but Qingxue laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you staring at our Lan Yun with wide eyes?"
Su Peisheng: "...What?"
"Hehe, stop pretending." Qingxue leaned against the door with her arms crossed, raising an eyebrow slightly with a playful expression. "Didn't Steward Su just stand there in a daze for a while?"
Su Peisheng: ...
He was about to ask what this was all about when Qingxue turned and went to the inner palace. He watched as Qingxue approached the Imperial Noble Consort and whispered a few words to her. The Imperial Noble Consort raised an eyebrow and looked over. After meeting his gaze, she smiled and nodded gently to Qingxue, as if to say that she understood.
Su Peisheng: ...
Qingxue isn't such a gossipy person!
What are you talking to the Imperial Noble Consort when you have nothing to say?
He rushed over, wanting to explain but unable to find the words. Su Peisheng now felt that the Imperial Noble Consort was looking at him with a strange gaze.
But what Qian Shengyan was thinking about was what Lan Yun had just done.
Lan Yun probably didn't know she was in the Hall of Diligent Governance. She probably came here because Aruhan had forced her into a corner. According to what Qingxue just heard, Lan Yun probably said what she needed to say as Aruhan asked, and then left after staying for the required time.
“Lan Yun is clever,” Qian Shengyan praised. “If things are cleared up one day, let her go to the Palace Administration Department.”
"Then this servant will thank you on her behalf, mistress," Qingxue said with a smile.
Aruhan's illness showed no signs of improvement, and the Imperial Hospital was not neglecting its duties. However, with Lanyun by her side, it was unlikely that Aruhan would be able to get out of bed and scold or beat her servants again.
Qian Shengyan stopped thinking about these things and focused on writing the memorial. When night fell, her stomach started growling with hunger, and she belatedly realized that it was already very late.
"You're always the one reminding me to rest, but how come you forget about it when it comes to yourself?" Yinzhen stood beside her and heard the rumbling in his intestines. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look how late it is. I've been waiting for you for ages."
Qian Shengyan felt somewhat embarrassed by his words: "Why doesn't Your Majesty call me 'Your Majesty'?"
Yinzhen coughed lightly, "Seeing how focused you are, I didn't want to disturb you." Actually, he himself was also engrossed in reading. Qian Shengyan had first written a memorial about the medical training class and the martial arts training class. Yinzhen had come over intending to call her to have a meal, but once he started reading, he also got absorbed in it. The two of them, one writing and the other reading, did not have a single person in the palace dare to disturb them.
Su Peisheng was so anxious that he almost stepped forward to interrupt them. When he finally saw the two masters get up, he quickly called the servants to come in and set out the meal in the side hall.
Qian Shengyan was a little worried about Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba. She had gone to the palace today and had been staying with Yinzhen all day since she returned. She hadn't seen the two little ones all day and didn't know how they were doing.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a few baby cries. Qian Shengyan almost thought she had misheard, but soon she saw two small figures being carried into the hall by the wet nurse.
"The little princes haven't seen the Imperial Noble Consort all day, and they refuse to sleep," the wet nurse holding Xiao Qi said with a smile. "Luckily, Her Highness is done with her work now, so please hold the little princes."
Qian Shengyan stopped eating. She put down her chopsticks, washed her hands, and took the two little babies, one on each side.
The two babies, who are already ten months old, are chubby and adorable, almost exactly like Hongli when he was a child. Their hair is also curly like Yinzhen's, and their big eyes are bright and sparkling. They are incredibly lovable.
Not to mention Yinzhen and Qian Shengyan, the parents, even Hongli, the elder brother, missed the twins terribly after not seeing them for two months.
"Uh, uh!" The more lively Xiao Qi reached out to grab Qian Shengyan's clothes, while the quieter Xiao Ba blew bubbles and looked at her mother.
Little Seven can already say "ah ah" and "e ee", and recognizes people, but her sibling Little Eight doesn't like to talk much and has remained silent.
Having raised many children, Qian Shengyan was used to it. She thought that one of them was like Hongli, who was precocious and spoke early, while the other was like Hongshan, who didn't speak until he was two or three years old.
"Ugh! Ugh!" Xiao Qi's body wobbled in her arms, her little feet accidentally lifting Xiao Ba's. Xiao Ba's thin eyebrows slowly furrowed, looking at her troublesome older brother with great dissatisfaction. Suddenly, she raised her little hand and slapped Xiao Qi's restless leg.
Xiaoqi: ……
With a cry of "Wah!", Xiao Qi was the first to speak, followed closely by Xiao Ba. The two babies sat in Qian Shengyan's arms, crying and wildly hitting each other with their little hands.
But those soft, chubby little paws ended up patting their mother's body and face eight out of ten times.
