Princess Guihe's question was quite roundabout. At that time, the doctor took Xue Zhi's pulse and reported that he had excessive internal heat and that he would be fine if he let out the internal heat. She asked Doctor Zhang if Xue Zhi had any other hidden diseases. Doctor Zhang had little research on men's medicine and did not dare to make a conclusion. He only said to try a dose of medicine first. If it didn't work, he would ask another doctor to treat him. As it was related to Xue Zhi's male dignity, Princess Guihe waited to see the results.
Zheng Xiu said it was effective, and Princess Guihe felt that her previous guess was completely correct.
...It is effective. It means that her Ah Zhi must be better than before.
...It was not so good before!
The two of them had obvious deviations in their definition of the "effect" of the medicine.
Princess Guihe was also a woman. Thinking that Zheng Xiu had not said a word before, she was also a person who could endure and was pitiful. She reached out and patted the back of Zheng Xiu's hand to show her comfort, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Xiu's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes and said nothing. It was indeed very hard, especially the night before, when Xue Zhi seemed to have endless energy.
Princess Guihe said again, "The medicine is good for the body. You should supervise Ah Zhi to take it on time and don't slack off. You can stop taking the medicine after three to five days."
Zheng Xiu nodded shyly, and finally did not reject Princess Guihe's kindness.
The two talked for a while and then went out together. The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong were still outside. After all, they were guests, so it was not appropriate to neglect them too much.
The food was placed on the table. Princess Guihe sat at the head, and Zheng Xiu sat next to her. The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong also took their seats one by one.
Zheng Xiu's face remained red for a long time before she left, like a shy girl.
The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong saw this, but they did not dare to make jokes in front of Princess Guihe. They just ate quietly.
The table was silent, except for Princess Guihe occasionally saying to Zheng Xiu, "This dish is good, try it." Or "That soup is not bad, drink more." No one spoke.
The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong County both thought that Princess Guihe and Zheng Xiu were surprisingly harmonious, and no one would believe it if they told others about it. The rumors outside that they were not in harmony were really ridiculous.
Zheng Xiu also felt that Princess Guihe was particularly close to her today, and she just thought that she was saving face for her in front of outsiders, and she was grateful.
After the meal, Qiurui, Chunzhi, Taozhi and other maids cleared the dishes and served tea. Princess Guihe drank the tea slowly and did not say goodbye.
The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong County were delighted for a while, seeing that Princess Guihe still wanted to talk to them.
The two of them were not stupid. Princess Guihe could have just kept them for a meal for Zheng Xiu's sake. But if she didn't send the guests away at this time, it might be that something really happened. After thinking about it for a while, they guessed something. Sure enough
, not long after, Princess Guihe said, "According to the seniority in our clan, our families are close relatives. I won't be so formal with you. Our Ah Qin is already fifteen years old. Both of you are his elders. Do you have a suitable family in mind?"
The Princess of Prince Xin smiled and said, "Which girl would not be interested in the character and family of the Prince? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you a story. My sister-in-law has been asking me about this matter openly and secretly."
The Princess of Prince Xin's maiden family is the Xinyang Marquis' Mansion. The ancestors had served the emperor well, and the family was a military family. Now many of the family members hold important positions in the military.
Princess Nanrong said, "There are also several girls of the right age in my family, and they all admire you very much." Princess Nanrong
's father was a scholar in the inner cabinet of the dynasty, a man of integrity. The family would focus on recruiting talents every few generations, and there have been four or five generations of people who have become high-ranking officials.
Although they were born one in the civil and one in the military, they had similar personalities and hit it off when they were young, and have been together ever since.
Princess Guihe nodded and said, "In a few days, we will hold a flower viewing banquet in our mansion. We have sent an invitation to your mansion. You can choose someone."
She was not being polite. She put the girls from the Xinyang Marquis's Mansion and the Inner Chamber Scholar's House together and said she was "choosing someone" as if the emperor was choosing a concubine.
Before, the Xinwang Crown Prince's Consort and the Nanrong County Princess would definitely not be willing to do so. They would probably only let the insignificant girls in their families compete for the position of the Crown Prince's wife in the Qingguo Mansion. After all, the Qingguo Mansion was ill and there was only one Crown Prince left in the mansion. Although there was a lot of favor for Princess Guihe now, Princess Guihe was a woman after all. No matter how capable she was, she could only win more rewards for the Qingguo Mansion. Besides, the emperor is not young anymore, he is over forty, who can predict how many generations the prosperity of the Duke of Qing's Mansion can last. But
the situation is different after Xue Zhi comes back, he is young and strong, and he saved the prince, it is the time when the emperor is in favor. As long as he is there and nothing goes wrong, there is no need to worry about protecting the prosperity of the Duke of Qing's Mansion for two generations. Xue Qin will naturally go further under his guidance.
Therefore, the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Xin and the Princess of Nanrong County both agreed with a smile, and they have already begun to think about how to let their girls get the first chance.
Princess Guihe kept them to talk for a while, and then let Qiu Rui see the guests off.
Zheng Xiu was going to go out to see them off, but Princess Guihe asked her to stay.
The Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong were escorted to the gate of the Duke of Qing's Mansion by Qiu Rui. The two were not so affectionate at this moment. It was about the interests of their natal families, so even the best relationship had to be put aside.
Before getting on the carriage, the Princess of Xin and the Princess of Nanrong looked at each other. Although they did not say anything, their eyes were quite confident, and they seemed to be competing with each other.
Princess Guihe kept Zheng Xiu for no other reason than to hold a flower viewing banquet as she had mentioned before. She wanted to invite not only the Marquis of Xinyang Mansion and Li Xueshi's family, but also some other noble and clean-style girls. Naturally, the head of the family had to come forward to take care of it. She
was not in good health, so she wanted Zheng Xiu to come forward.
Zheng Xiu naturally agreed, but said: "You also know that I lack experience in this regard. If there is anything that is not well thought out, please bear with me."
"What can be thoughtless? It's just a few girls talking and drinking tea together. You just go through the motions to entertain them."
She said it very lightly, after all, her status is there.
But Zheng Xiu knew that she couldn't neglect it. If there was anything that was not well thought out, people would not dare to gossip about Princess Guihe, but naturally she would be the one to say.
Although this is a tricky task, on the one hand, Xue Qin is a very likable young man, and on the other hand, their second house already owes Princess Guihe. Although this matter is tricky, it is what she should do.
After all, it was about Xue Qin's marriage, so Princess Guihe was still concerned and discussed some details with Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu returned to Haoye Hall before dinner.
Princess Guihe gave her a list. After she came back and read it carefully, she was quite nervous about hosting the banquet for Prince Xin and Princess Nanrong. After she finished reading the list, she was even more nervous - the list included all the noble ladies in the upper social circle, and they were all top nobles and noble families.
The fact that Prince Xin and Princess Nanrong came to visit her was enough to make her nervous. With so many noble ladies coming, she would be even busier. Fortunately, Princess Guihe had someone under her to handle the specific matters, so she didn't have to do everything herself.
When Xue Zhixia came back from his shift, Zheng Xiu was still lost in thought.
He suddenly appeared and moved closer to her, which scared Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu looked at him reproachfully and said, "You didn't make any sound when you entered the room. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
Xue Zhi said innocently, "The maid informed me, and I called you. Who told you to be so focused on things that you didn't even notice that I came back."
Zheng Xiu then put the list in front of him and said, "Take a look."
Xue Zhi glanced at it and said, "They are all girls who have not yet left the house. What are they for?"
Zheng Xiu said, "They are choosing a wife for the prince for Aqin."
Xue Qin couldn't help but smile and said, "Aqin is grown up, and it's time for him to get married."
"Aqin is close to you. Do you know if he has anyone he likes?" Although free love in this era is not tolerated by the world, if Xue Qin has someone he likes, she, as his aunt, can help.
Xue Zhi frowned and thought for a while, then said, "He didn't tell me this. Why are you asking? Marriage is a matter of parents' decision and matchmaker's words. My sister-in-law is also a person with her own ideas, so it's natural for her to choose."
"That's what she said." Zheng Xiu said, "I also don't want Aqin to get married blindly. Marriage is a matter of a lifetime." Xue Zhi
then put his arm around her shoulder and said with a smile, "This is the way the world is. Do you think everyone is as lucky as me to be able to choose such a satisfactory daughter-in-law?"
