Chapter 84: One on One Face to Face
Nan Xiao's hand holding the prescription froze, "Your Majesty, Caesar cannot go."
Jiangnan is more than two thousand miles away from Kyoto, and the round trip takes at least ten days.
Given the master's current physical condition, he must have someone with superb medical skills by his side.
Qi Yanzhou glanced at Ye Chutang and said, "With Miss Ye here, I will be fine. Let Xi Ze set off immediately and prepare some herbs to treat the plague when passing through the prefectures and counties along the way."
Nan Xiao also knew how severe the plague was. If it really broke out and was not controlled, the death and injury numbers would be at least tens of thousands.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"If there is really a plague in Jiangnan, let Caesar stay to help, and tell everyone that these prescriptions came from Miss Ye."
"I will convey this to Caesar truthfully."
After Nan Xiao left, Qi Yanzhou prepared to bow to Ye Chutang in gratitude again.
Ye Chutang quickly dodged, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I am a doctor and it is my duty to save people."
After saying that, she prepared to leave.
Qi Yanzhou's eyes fell on Ye Chutang and asked, "Miss Ye was outside the pavilion before, right?"
Ye Chutang bent his index finger and rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that kind of occasion wasn't appropriate for me to appear."
Qi Yanzhou coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"It was my mother who made the decision. I never thought of marrying just any noble lady."
He didn't want Ye Chutang to misunderstand that he didn't respect women, so he gathered them together and picked and chose.
Ye Chutang also coughed.
"I also heard the conversation between the prince and Concubine Chen behind the rockery."
After saying that, she gave a thumbs up.
"The prince's love for the witch doctor is as strong as gold. It is worthy of admiration. You two will definitely be able to overcome the obstacles and be together."
Qi Yanzhou quickly explained, "The witch doctor and I are not..."
Ye Chutang didn't wait for him to finish his words and pressed her lips against his toes to seal his mouth.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I didn't see or hear anything today. I will never reveal a word to anyone. Goodbye."
After saying that, she left quickly.
Qi Yanzhou's unfinished explanation was stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
I wanted to chase after him and explain things clearly, but I felt that this behavior was a bit ridiculous.
The raised foot falls down.
Ye Chutang had no idea of Qi Yanzhou's mental activity and returned the same way.
When passing by the garden pavilion, she simply lifted the veil and walked in.
Concubine Chen is seeing off the guests.
Seeing Ye Chutang suddenly come in, she smiled and said, "Miss Ye, have you finished talking to Zhou Er so quickly?"
Ye Chutang: “…”
Concubine Chen, what do you mean by saying this in front of the noble ladies?
Use her as a shield?
"Replying to Concubine Chen, it's just a matter of a few words, so it will be quick."
After saying that, she glanced at the ladies and started fighting them face to face one by one.
"You said I was eavesdropping. I'm not here to choose a concubine. There's no need to join in the fun."
"You said I was a low-class person, but is it noble for you to curse people behind their backs?"
"Yes, I am Ye Chutang, who is famous in Beijing. Come and fight me if you don't agree."
"Just because the prince refuses to grant me marriage, I can't come to Prince Chen's mansion? Then why do you, who don't even have the qualifications to grant me marriage, have the nerve to come?"
The noble ladies were dumbfounded by the scolding and looked at Ye Chutang in shock.
They wanted to curse back, but were afraid of being labeled as rude and rude shrews.
After all, this is Prince Chen’s Mansion, not your home!
Concubine Chen had already experienced Ye Chutang's straightforwardness, so she was not surprised by her vindictiveness.
She looked at the noble ladies who dared to be angry but not to speak, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Miss Ye, they didn't mean it. Can you please give me some face?"
Ye Chutang glanced at the ladies' attire and immediately became interested.
"Please forgive me, Concubine Chen. I was rude with my words. Talking is not a skill. If you want to convince others, you have to show your real skills."
"My dear ladies, since we don't like each other, let's have a competition."
Concubine Chen: “…”
Why are we suddenly talking about competition?
Qi Yanzhou's voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion.
"Miss Ye is very talented in writing. I'm afraid no one here can compare to her. This is a bit of a bully."
As soon as these words were spoken, the noble ladies thought that Prince Chen disliked Ye Chutang and sided with them.
Several people were delighted and immediately agreed.
"Your Highness is right. Our literary talent is mediocre..."
Ye Chutang interrupted Luo Rou.
"Your Majesty, I am asking them to compare their strengths with mine. How can that be considered bullying?"
Qi Yanzhou raised his thin lips slightly, revealing a tenderness that he himself was not aware of.
"In that case, Miss Ye is not bullying."
Ye Chutang had long heard that Qi Yanzhou was helping her, and thought that he was repaying the favor of giving him the prescription.
His people traveled thousands of miles to deliver the prescription, and if a plague really happened, they would definitely gain fame.
She seized the opportunity to ask the noble ladies, "Don't you look down on me? Do you dare to compete?"
Luo Rou wanted to show off in front of Qi Yanzhou.
"Of course I dare, but I'm afraid Miss Ye will think I'm bullying you. After all, I only know how to use knives, guns, sticks and clubs."
"What a coincidence! I also know a little bit of Kung Fu."
When Qi Yanzhou heard this, the smile on his face deepened.
With Ye Chutang's martial arts skills, ten Luo Rous would not be her match.
Concubine Chen didn't know the truth and thought that Ye Chutang was flattering her with her mediocre kung fu.
She was worried that Ye Chutang would suffer a loss, so she reminded him.
"Miss Ye, the Luo family is a family of military commanders, and Miss Rou has been practicing martial arts since she was a child."
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "If you have good kung fu, it will be more interesting to spar with you."
When Concubine Chen saw that she couldn't convince Ye Chutang, she looked at Luo Rou.
"Since this is just a competition, then we should stop here."
Luo Rou nodded, "That's natural."
She is not stupid, so she will not bully the weak in front of Concubine Chen and Prince Chen.
"The pavilion is too small, Miss Ye, please go outside."
"Wait a moment."
Luo Rou thought Ye Chutang had changed his mind, and raised the corners of her lips in mockery.
"Miss Ye wants to admit defeat?"
Ye Chutang took out a piece of warm jade from the space and placed it on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.
"Just sparring is boring, let's add some excitement."
Four out of the six noble ladies had attended Ye Chutang's homecoming banquet.
They all knew that Ye Chutang, with a poem, not only slapped Princess Anping in the face, but also made a fortune from the betting.
Now, the incident is repeated and they are full of resistance.
Because what they are wearing today are their most precious treasures that they usually don’t wear.
"leaf……"
Just as the Minister of Rites' daughter was about to refuse, Luo Rou spoke at the same time.
"OK!"
She attended the homecoming banquet at the Shangshu Mansion and knew that Ye Chutang had ulterior motives in proposing to add to the fun.
But she is very confident in her martial arts!
Luo Rou was wearing tight clothes today and no jewelry.
He took off the icy purple jade pendant from his neck and placed it on the stone table.
This action made the other five ladies very angry.
Luo Rou felt that she was good at martial arts and had a chance of winning, so she didn't care about their lives.
That’s too much!
They even hoped in their hearts that Ye Chutang would win.
Let's lose face together and lose money together!
Luo Rou turned a blind eye to the ugly expressions of the other noble ladies.
They are just competitors who appear to be friendly on the surface, there is no need for them to pretend to be sisters.
Now, she can show up in front of Concubine Chen and Prince Chen and win the prize at the same time, so why not do it?
"Miss Ye, please."
The two of them arrived at the walkway outside the pavilion.
Luo Rou glanced at Qi Yanzhou who was standing not far away, a shy blush appeared on her face, and her light voice became delicate.
"Miss Ye, don't worry, I will stop at the right time and won't hurt you."
Ye Chutang raised her pink lips in an evil smile.
"I'm going to give you this too, let's get started."
