Chapter 159 Exemption from Entrance Examination
"This...is not an ordinary illness. It needs to heal on its own."
"Heal yourself?"
Jiang Shiyun spoke a little loudly in excitement, and Mu Jingxing subconsciously turned around to look at her.
Jiang Shiyun was frightened for a moment and stopped in her tracks. She wondered if the prince would hear her.
Seeing this, Song Yu looked up at Mu Jingxing, but Mu Jingxing had already turned his head away.
"Okay, cousin Yun, Prince Mu didn't hear us, let's catch up."
When the sedan arrived at Ruxi Palace, Old Madam Mu came out to greet her with a smile on her face and a group of servants.
"Shulan, you're finally here! Let me take a good look at you." Madam Mu helped Madam Jiang up and examined her face carefully. "Ah, you look much better than you did a year ago. Not only is your complexion rosier, but your eyes are brighter too. Having your precious eldest daughter back is better than any panacea."
"Haha...yes, yes." Old Madam Jiang said with a smile, "In three months I won't be a blind old woman anymore. I'll definitely take a closer look at you then. I haven't seen you for over ten years. Do you think you're getting younger and younger?"
"No way! I've become so worried that my hair has turned white."
"What do you have to worry about? Your children are all filial to you."
Old Madam Mu glared at Mu Jingxing and then she and Feng Yingying helped Old Madam Jiang into Ruxi Palace.
"It's not my eldest grandson, he's still alone, and I don't know when I'll be able to hold my great-grandson."
Jiang Guanchen glanced at Mu Jingxing and wanted to hold his great-grandson in his arms, unless the prince's serious illness that kept him away from women was cured.
Mu Jingxing glared at him, expecting him to talk about you right away!
"There's no need to rush about this. Isn't Guanchen alone now? When I can see again, can we help these two children find someone else?"
"Okay, okay, this is good."
Jiang Guanchen: Not good!
Mu Jingxing patted his shoulder and said with a half-smile, "Don't look so sad. Let's go in quickly."
Mu Jingxing immediately stepped aside to make way, showing a smile and speaking in a very gentle tone, "Miss Song, Miss Jiang, please come in."
Song Yu nodded, took Jiang Shiyun's hand and walked up the white marble steps, then walked slowly into the main hall.
When Song Yu passed by him, Mu Jingxing lowered his eyes and glanced at Song Yu's white wrist hidden under her sleeves.
He seemed to be wearing no ornaments.
Had she forgotten that she had lost her rosary?
Should I find a chance to return it to her?
"Junior Guanchen has seen..."
Madam Mu quickly raised her hand to excuse the three siblings from their formalities. "No need to be so polite. We've been traveling for most of the day and we must be tired. Come sit down and enjoy afternoon tea together."
After the three siblings exchanged polite greetings, Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun sat down on one side of Old Madam Jiang and Feng Yingying, while Jiang Guanchen and Mu Jingxing sat on the other side.
Mrs. Mu saw that Song Yu behaved with the courtesy of a lady from a noble family, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes.
She is worthy of being the daughter taught by Jiang Yunwan, but her background is still a little poor.
"Madam Jiang, I heard from Ajing that your two sisters-in-law and your eldest niece are all in the mansion. Why didn't you come with us?"
Feng Yingying said, "My sister-in-law has been suffering from severe morning sickness these past few days and would rather lie down than move. Meng'er feels sorry for her and is very filial, so she wants to stay with her. Wanwan hasn't taken good care of Shushu in over ten years and is worried about them staying in the mansion."
Madam Mu looked at Madam Jiang with regret, "Shulan, I was thinking of meeting Wanwan today. Fifteen years have passed, and I wonder how Wanwan is doing."
"Thank you for your concern. I haven't seen my Wanwan either. Sister Ye ran into her on the street last time and she said that my Wanwan looks even prettier now than she did fifteen years ago. You'll know if you take a closer look at my Sister Yu."
Feng Yingying's heart tightened. It's over!
Now the mother-in-law will know that Sister Yu has hurt her face.
Sure enough, I heard Madam Mu say, "Your sister Yu is still wearing a mask, so I can't tell if she looks more like Wanwan."
mask?
Isn't that a sun veil?
Madam Jiang tilted her head and said, "Sister Yu, let Madam Mu see your true appearance."
Song Yu:!!!
Feng Yingying hurriedly said, "Mother, I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would worry. Sister Yu'er's face was accidentally injured on the way to Beijing. Now it has almost healed. She can take off the mask in a few days."
"Injured?" Madam Jiang was immediately anxious. "How did she get hurt? A girl getting her face hurt is no small matter."
"Don't worry, grandma. I've recovered a lot. There won't be any scars on my face. When your eyesight is restored, I promise you'll see a face as smooth as cream."
"Don't try to trick me. That's my face. It's not easy to heal if it's injured."
Wanwan’s disappearance for more than ten years was enough to make her anxious, and now her eldest granddaughter has injured her face. What’s the difference between this and Wanwan’s face being injured?
Wanwan had married down, so she was determined to let Yujie marry into a wealthy family and become the mistress of the household.
Now that my face is injured, won’t it be that people will pick Sister Yu when they meet in the future?
This...how can this be possible?!
"Madam Jiang," Mu Jingxing said, "don't worry, Miss Song's medical..."
"Grandmother," Jiang Guanchen interrupted him quickly. "Don't worry. My cousin still has to take the entrance exam for Chaofeng Palace Academy. In the future, they will evaluate the rank of noble ladies. The Emperor and Empress will look at their faces. If I can't take good care of myself, my aunt won't let my cousin take the entrance exam for Chaofeng Palace Academy."
Madam Mu comforted her, "Don't worry, Shulan. Your granddaughter's face will definitely recover. Wanwan was a first-rank noble lady back then. She must have taught Sister Yu all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As for her medical skills, she could have been directly awarded the title of seventh-rank noble lady."
It was too late for Feng Yingying, her mother and her two sons to stop it.
I shouldn't have come to Fengquan Villa today.
I've kept it a secret for so long, and now I have to be honest.
"Medical skills? Sister Yu knows medical skills? Can she be directly awarded the title of Seventh Rank Noblewoman based on her medical skills?"
Madam Mu was surprised. "That's right. Your sister Yu is a great doctor. Last time I was seriously ill, so many doctors couldn't diagnose me, but it was sister Yu who was able to diagnose me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the energy to come to Fengquan Villa to enjoy the scenery. I might have even passed the seventh day of my illness."
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Today is a good day, we shouldn't say such things."
"Well, I'm just making an analogy."
Xiao Zhenshu, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, led Princess Qingyang Mu Chuqing and walked slowly in from outside, surrounded by a group of servants.
The Jiang family members hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
"Stop being polite and sit down. Let's relax a bit in the manor now."
"Thank you, Princess."
Xiao Zhenshu pulled his daughter towards the first seat, his eyes inadvertently sweeping towards Song Yu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This peony mask is so exquisitely made and its shape is particularly delicate.
I had only seen her from a distance in the mansion before, but now seeing from close up that the girl from the Song family looks so good even with a mask on, I guess her real appearance must not be too bad.
After all, Jiang Yunwan is not ugly.
I don't know how the one from the Song family compares to King Cheng... Well, there's no comparison at all.
With Jiang Yunwan's eyesight, even if she lost her memory, there's no way she would marry an unattractive man, right?
After Xiao Zhenshu and her daughter sat down, the Jiang family members sat down one by one.
Song Yu was screaming in his heart at this moment.
No wonder Prince Mu is so handsome, he won’t be ugly even if he dies.
His mother looked... She suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
Anyway, it looks good.
"Old Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang, I invited you to Fengquan Villa this time to express my gratitude to Miss Song. I never expected her medical skills to be so impressive at such a young age. I have already proposed to the Emperor that Miss Song and Miss Jiang can directly enroll in Chaofeng Palace Academy without taking the entrance exam."
