"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Sun Miaoqing, holding the food box, bowed respectfully to the chubby orange. When you need something from someone, you have to be humble.
To everyone's surprise, after waiting for a long time, not only did the chubby orange cat not come to help her up, but it also didn't tell her to get up.
Sun Miaoqing reminded him, "Your Majesty, I'm still kneeling, and my knees are hurting."
Who offended him to take his anger out on me, this poor, adorable little imperial concubine?
Having such a precious gem like me and not spoiling me properly, you really have no sense of propriety.
The chubby orange cat with no sense of perspective: ......
Poor yet adorable? A precious little gem that deserves to be pampered...
Big Fat Orange couldn't help but twitch its lips several times, speechless. Did she have some kind of misunderstanding about it?
However, calling it a gold nugget doesn't seem wrong. Although it's a bit infuriating, the benefits are real.
The results of the smallpox vaccine experiment are in: it can indeed prevent smallpox, and the symptoms are very mild. Hundreds of death row inmates were used in the experiments, including many who were physically weak or had suffered serious injuries, but none of them were in mortal danger.
Once everything is fully prepared, it can be rolled out nationwide, thus ending the Qing Dynasty's susceptibility to smallpox.
As for the source of the cowpox vaccine, Big Fat Orange directly targeted Sun Miaoqing's dairy farm. Although it couldn't immediately meet the vaccination needs of the entire capital.
But it should be enough to satisfy the needs of the imperial palace, the residences of princes and nobles, and the families of civil and military officials.
Only when the noble and powerful set an example will the common people truly believe that this medicine is entirely beneficial and without any harm, and thus eagerly seek vaccination.
Thinking about this, Big Fat Orange felt that giving him a warning and a few pointers would be enough.
He needed Sun Miaoqing for many more things later on!
"It is Consort Cheng."
"I was so engrossed in reviewing the memorials that I didn't notice you coming in. Get up."
[Nobody believes that. You're doing it on purpose, deliberately giving me a hard time because of the jade pendant. The emperor has always been stingy; he wouldn't even part with a single jade pendant...]
Sun Miaoqing pouted unhappily, picked up the food box and stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you."
Big Fat Orange snorted inwardly. It reminded him that on the day the decree was issued, he had Su Peisheng bring the things back, but this devil in front of him actually said that there was no such thing.
I originally intended to go and get it myself, but then I wondered if it might have been left at Chuxiu Palace and not brought with me.
And because something came up, I forgot about it for a while.
Sun Miaoqing took out the lotus flower pastries from the food box and placed them on the table, while she diligently massaged Da Pangju's shoulders.
"Your Majesty has been sitting here reading memorials for quite some time; you must be getting tired. I've had some lotus-shaped pastries made; would Your Majesty like to try them and see if they taste good?"
"You're so thoughtful."
Big Orange put down the folded paper, picked up a lotus-shaped pastry, and realized he was indeed a little hungry.
Just as he was about to take a bite, he heard Sun Miaoqing think to herself,
"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's gift is obligated to him. Since Fatty Orange ate my lotus-shaped pastries, he has to agree to what I asked for."
It's just a fancy-looking pastry, but he doesn't really need to eat it.
He needed to hear what it was about first; if it was anything too outrageous, Duan Duan couldn't agree to it...
The fat orange said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. You always avoid me when I'm reviewing memorials, but today you've come here on your own initiative, and you even brought something with you."
"Speak, what do you want to ask of me? If it's not something difficult, I'll agree without hesitation."
Sun Miaoqing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty. You saw through my little scheme at a glance."
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. How could I bear to make things difficult for you?"
While tenderly massaging Big Fat Orange's shoulders, she leaned close to Big Fat Orange's ear and whispered sweetly,
"After I entered the palace, I have never been able to see my family again. My brother is thousands of miles away, and the palace rules are strict. I don't know when I will be able to see him again."
"Fortunately, my sister-in-law is in the capital with her two nephews. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to meet with them."
Sun Miaoqing's hand, which had been massaging her shoulders, slid down to hug the arm of the chubby orange cat, and she said in a coquettish tone,
"I know Your Majesty loves me the most. Please grant my request."
The chubby orange said, "What did I say? If you didn't need something from me, you wouldn't be so attentive."
"It's not difficult to see your family. Now that you are a Noble Consort, you have the right to summon your maternal family."
"Have someone pass on the message: just follow the rules, there's no need to come and ask me."
Sun Miaoqing knew about this, of course, but she wasn't just seeing her sister-in-law; she also needed Da Pangju's approval to see her two nephews.
"Your Majesty, I am relieved to hear your words. I will immediately send word that my sister-in-law will bring her two nephews in tomorrow."
After Sun Miaoqing finished speaking, she smiled and walked out, but Big Fat Orange quickly called her back.
"Wait a minute!"
"Come back to me now..."
Sun Miaoqing walked back with a sullen face.
"Your Majesty promised me just now, you mustn't go back on your word!"
The fat orange said, "I told you to see your sister-in-law, not that I told you to bring your two nephews to Changchun Immortal Hall as well."
"If I remember correctly, your two nephews should be about the same age as you."
Sun Miaoqing nodded. "Wenjin is the older brother, he's sixteen this year. Wenyu is a little younger, he's fifteen this year."
"Because of the imperial concubine selection, I came to the capital early and stayed at my uncle's house. It has been more than two years since I last saw them."
Sun Miaoqing spoke pitifully, hoping to evoke Da Pangju's compassion. But alas, the emperor's heart was as ruthless as the thousand-year-old ice of the Tianshan Mountains.
The fat orange said, "If I agree to your request, it will be difficult to refuse other concubines who come begging for my favor."
"The palace is heavily guarded; how can we allow outsiders to enter at will? Besides, the other concubines have all been away from home for many years, and I cannot show favoritism to any of them."
"If I don't agree, you said it yourself, you are the one I love the most, which really puts me in a difficult position."
【I @〃|￥??(◣д◢)?#@{＜&＞%|￥}a?￡......】
She was internally spitting out hundreds of words of profanity. Back then, Hua Pangpang could have any doctor from outside the palace come in to treat her, but she couldn't even see her two nephews.
What's so difficult about it? It's just that the benefits weren't enough.
Sun Miaoqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said in a sweet voice, "The smallpox vaccination issue has been resolved, but if we want the people of the capital to be vaccinated as soon as possible, we still need enough smallpox vaccine."
"Because of the business of Honey Shop, I raise thousands of cattle, which should be able to provide a lot of smallpox vaccines."
"If Your Majesty does not mind, then you may use all those smallpox vaccines."
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange-haired man smiled and said, "It's rare to see Consort Cheng so understanding and righteous. This matter is of great importance, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Sun Miaoqing swallowed the curses she was about to unleash. "Your Majesty is too kind. How can Your Majesty be so polite with me about something that benefits the country and its people?"
The chubby orange said, "In that case, I would be impolite to refuse. By the way, you just said you wanted to see your sister-in-law and two nephews. Just send someone to invite them."
"Whenever you wish to see your family in the future, just tell me. I am always the most understanding person."
