"What? You don't dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare, but since the princess said it's an old illness, I naturally need to examine it in many aspects. And... the examination area may be very private, so I'm afraid it's not convenient to treat the princess here."
The eldest princess said, "Just take the pulse."
Duan Qingxi was at a loss as to what to do, so he looked at the emperor.
The emperor frowned, feeling that the eldest princess's request was a bit excessive, so he said, "Okay, Xin'er, if you really want Princess Yunle to treat you, why not summon her to the palace tomorrow? This is your welcome banquet now, so you should eat and drink well."
But the eldest princess looked at Duan Qingxi and asked, "Why, Princess Yunle is unwilling to treat me?"
Duan Qingxi was indeed a little hesitant. It was obvious that the eldest princess had a lot of opinions about her. What if she framed her and wanted to assassinate her?
At this moment, another shrill voice sounded.
"The Imperial Master has arrived!"
Upon hearing that the Imperial Preceptor had arrived, the expressions of many court officials changed, and even the emperor subconsciously looked in the direction where the Imperial Preceptor was coming from.
There is another seat next to the Emperor and Empress, which is closer to the front than the seats of the Princess and Prince Yun, which shows that their status is extraordinary.
This position is the fixed position of the national teacher.
It’s just that the Imperial Master usually wouldn’t come to a welcoming banquet like this, but unexpectedly, he actually came tonight.
The court officials instinctively stood up and wanted to salute, but were rejected by the imperial teacher with a wave of his hand.
After he came up, the Imperial Master saluted the Emperor and Empress, but it was just a bow.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress. I slept late and am late. I beg the Emperor to forgive me."
He said words of apology, but he didn't look like he had any intention of doing so.
The emperor didn't mind at all. He smiled and let him take a seat and had someone pour him some wine.
However, the Imperial Master did not take a seat immediately. Instead, he looked at Duan Qingxi and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, why don't you sit down? Is there no room left? Do you want to squeeze in with your senior brother?"
The emperor immediately understood that the Imperial Preceptor was dissatisfied and said quickly, "Princess Yunle, please return to your seat. We can discuss the pulse diagnosis later."
Before the eldest princess got married, there was no imperial tutor by the emperor's side, so her knowledge of the imperial tutor was limited to the gossip of the people.
Moreover, she never believed in ghosts and gods. Although she respected Master Qing Yuan, she felt that this so-called national teacher had no real ability and was no different from those so-called charlatans.
She looked at the Imperial Master with a half-smile and asked, "Why? Imperial Master, are you worried about my junior sister?"
The ministers did not expect that the princess was so courageous that she even dared to confront the imperial teacher!
The Imperial Master wasn't angry at all, and continued smiling, "Of course I feel bad for her. Master finally found such a sweet and soft little Junior Sister, how could I not treat her well?"
Duan Qingxi: ...What the hell is this "sweet and soft"?
However, she was too lazy to pay attention to the quarrel between the eldest princess and the imperial teacher, and walked straight to her seat.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was still unwilling to let her go and shouted again, "I heard that Princess Yunle is good at poetry and songs, and even her zither playing is very impressive. Why not take this opportunity to play a piece for her?"
Seeing the eldest princess's relentless insistence, the emperor angrily shouted, "Shut up! Xin'er, I think you're tired. Let's end this banquet now. Let's go first..."
"Hey, Your Majesty, don't be angry. The eldest princess is quite straightforward, just like she was back then."
