"I'm Mingman."
Hua He was stunned when she looked at Ming Man. Jiang Tuan Tuan tugged at her sleeve and said, "What are you staring at?"
She finally reacted and looked at the princess in front of her wearing a pomegranate skirt. She praised sincerely: "This is the first time I have seen such a stunning beauty. I was stunned for a moment and was a little rude. I hope the princess will not blame me."
Ming Man was so happy to be praised like this that she couldn't possibly blame anyone. She smiled beautifully at Hua He and said, "Since you are Tuan Tuan's friend, you are also my friend. From now on, you don't have to call me Princess. Just call me Ming Man."
"Okay, Mingman."
With a creak, the palace door opened and the ministers inside walked out one after another. Everyone looked at the three people at the door curiously, with different expressions on their faces, and began to mutter about these three people in their hearts.
A eunuch came out and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess Mingman."
Then he said to Jiang Tuantuan and the other two, "His Majesty invites you. Please come in quickly."
Princess Mingman knew that her father must have something important to say to them, so she waved her hand and strolled away.
Hua He, who was originally very nervous, relaxed inexplicably after entering the hall. Since she was already there, she just had to face it calmly.
Jiang Tuantuan was fearless, and Su Qingming was even more calm. After all, he had followed the imperial physician to see many important people.
The three men bowed to the emperor. The emperor looked at them carefully. Su Qingming knew without looking at him that they were the new medical assistants of the Imperial Hospital this year.
Of the remaining two women, one had a gentle temperament, while the other exuded confidence and dominance. It was easy to guess that the former should be the folk doctor that Doctor Xiao mentioned, and the latter was Jiang Tuantuan.
The emperor said to Su Qingming, "I heard that this flu was only overcome thanks to the new prescription you and Zhao Huahe developed. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have been killed."
Hua He and Su Qingming stepped forward, and Su Qingming said, "This recipe was brought out by Jiang Tuantuan. We improved on it. Speaking of credit, the greatest contribution should go to Jiang Tuantuan."
Hua He also said, "That's true. Acupuncture was also taught by Jiang Tuantuan. And she was the one who suppressed the patient's riot."
Jiang Tuantuan looked at the two of them and thought, how come they are talking about me?
The emperor laughed and said, "You are all so modest. Jiang Tuan Tuan, do you know medicine?"
It's easy to tell. She definitely wouldn't do that. "Your Majesty, no."
"These recipes are thanks to Your Majesty."
The emperor became even more curious, "How do you say that?"
Jiang Tuantuan lied with his eyes open, "One night, I was sleeping and a real dragon appeared in my dream. The real dragon told me this method, so when I woke up the next day, I quickly wrote it down."
"This must be due to your Majesty's great blessings. A true dragon has appeared to protect the people!"
Although the emperor knew that Jiang Tuantuan was making up lies, he still enjoyed it. Who doesn't like to be flattered? The emperor was very pleased and ordered the eunuchs beside him to serve them tea and take their seats.
The eunuchs couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Our Majesty is usually very cold, but no one dares to flatter him so blatantly in front of him, not even him, who has been with him since childhood.
She is indeed an extraordinary woman. Now even the eunuchs are interested in Jiang Tuantuan. It is said that she is the wife of Lieutenant General Li. Everyone admires her even more.
The tea was served, and the emperor smelled it and it was indeed fragrant. He said, "It is said that the new method of building dams and winter wheat were both discovered by you."
"yes."
"Have you ever been to school?"
"No, but my father did read a few books and learned some knowledge."
The emperor couldn't help but look at Jiang Tuantuan with a higher regard. Nowadays, women are taught the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and learn women's work, etc., and no one has ever been taught to read and learn to read.
He really wanted to know about Jiang Tuantuan's collection of species. That was a treasure, but it would not be a good idea to ask directly. He knew that he had secretly investigated, and this was the wife of his minister. It was really not a good idea, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
He turned his head and looked at Hua He, "Miss Zhao has excellent acupuncture skills. I can directly promote you to the Imperial Hospital. What do you think?"
Hua He stood up, walked to the middle, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I do not want to join the Imperial Hospital right now. I still have much to learn."
The emperor had not expected to be rejected. He thought Hua He would come to the center to pay her respects, but she was unwilling to do so. The emperor paused for two seconds and said calmly, "If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me."
The emperor rewarded them with some gold, silver and jewelry, and then let the three of them leave.
After the three men left, only the emperor and the eunuch were left in the palace. The emperor laughed and said, "These three people are very interesting. Although I was rejected, I am not angry at all. This is a first for me."
The eunuch was also worried about Hua He. She was really brave to refuse such a good opportunity.
Su Qingming went directly back to the Imperial Hospital, while Jiang Tuantuan took Hua He out of the palace.
After meeting His Majesty, Hua He finally breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery while walking.
The palace is made of red bricks and green tiles, which is very beautiful and magnificent, but also inexplicably depressing.
"Hua He, why don't you want to stay in the Imperial Hospital as a medical assistant? There are the best doctors in the country here. You can read all the books and learn a lot from them."
Hua He looked at the surrounding red walls and the eunuchs, maids, and guards that passed by from time to time and said, "This place is like a cage. The people in the cage are like canaries. They look glorious, but in fact they have no freedom at all. I don't want to jump out of one cage and then enter another."
Jiang Tuantuan understood instantly.
"I want to be a traveling doctor. Besides, we've agreed that if we have the chance in the future, we'll travel around the world together."
"Okay, let's work hard together. I'll work hard to make money, and you work hard to study medicine!"
As soon as I walked out of the palace, I saw Li Jingchen waiting for me on horseback.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you, so I came to pick you up."
Hua He looked at the two people in front of her, who were full of affection, and then she took her leave.
Li Jingchen helped Jiang Tuantuan onto the horse, held her in his arms, and walked slowly home. Jiang Tuantuan said, "Aren't you curious about why the emperor summoned us?"
Li Jingchen said, "You will say what you want to say. If you don't want to say it, why should I ask? If something serious really happened, I believe you will tell me."
Although the streets were slowly recovering, because so many people died from the flu, they suddenly became much quieter. There were also many homeless people and beggars, who looked very pitiful.
