Chapter 204: I'm afraid I need to ask for permission to arrange a marriage

"Princess, what did you say?"

"Nothing." Jiujiu said, "Didn't you just imply that we should give money?"

"No." Master Qingfeng was anxious and uneasy. He was misunderstood. It really felt bad to be misunderstood!

This reminded me of how Jiujiu had been misunderstood by him before.

Jiujiu must be feeling bad too.

It can be considered as a tit-for-tat.

Master Qingfeng let out a sigh of resignation and twisted his hands together nervously. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say, "Princess, I am doing this to make you happy."

"Make me happy?" Jiujiu felt puzzled.

"Yes." Master Qingfeng lowered his head and continued, "When you are happy, I will propose it to you and see what you think of the prescription."

"Prescription? What prescription?"

Not only Jiujiu was confused.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Nan Shuwen also looked at Master Qingfeng in confusion, as if asking, what is the prescription?

Master Qingfeng glanced at Nan Shuwen. Nan Shuwen was stunned for a moment, then wisely went out.

All the idlers also left.

Master Qingfeng can say it.

He said, "It is a prescription that can remove the toxins from the body of the woman who was poisoned during the Yang-removing chaos."

“This one!”

"Princess, can you show it to me?" Master Qingfeng asked very carefully, "I'm really curious about what kind of prescription can remove those stubborn toxins."

“I was powerless to do anything about it.”

"So, I really want to see the prescription."

As Master Qingfeng spoke, he felt very nervous, afraid of being rejected.

After all, this prescription is not an ordinary prescription. It will not be easily exposed, let alone shown to others.

Official families are accustomed to keeping private things.

Some people don't follow the entire prescription when getting medicine, but go to different pharmacies to get one medicine at a time.

Master Qingfeng exhaled, and tried his best to be prepared for the possibility that Jiujiu would not show him the prescription and would blame him for being wishful thinking and dreaming.

However, he waited anxiously for a long time, but no reprimand came.

What he waited for was the little girl's soft response.

"Okay, I'll show you."

[The Master Qingfeng in the book is not a bad person, he is a medical geek. It's okay to show him this prescription.]

【He will not use this prescription for evil. 】

Jiujiu handed a crumpled prescription to Master Qingfeng.

This prescription had been kept in Jiujiu's small bag and had never been moved. She could only take it out now and show it to Master Qingfeng.

Master Qingfeng's beard stood up with excitement.

With trembling hands, he took the prescription and read it word by word. Although the words were ugly, it did not affect his admiration and amazement.

He said, "Great! Really great!"

"After reading this, I quickly prepared to remove the birthmark on my little cousin's face."

"It must be removed completely to restore my little cousin's beauty."

“Ninety-nine…”

Nan Yuanxiang felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when she heard Jiujiu's teasing, but she couldn't help but feel excited.

Looking forward to seeing her face get better.

Looking forward to becoming a little beauty.

The Imperial Palace.

Qiu Shui Residence.

Emperor Zhaoning asked Concubine Jia, "Yiyao, didn't Jiujiu say when she would be back?"

"She hasn't been back to the palace for several days, and I miss her."

"No, the little girl has been gone for several days." Concubine Jia said as she painted the picture in her hand.

Emperor Zhaoning was watching from the side.

Several maids were also watching.

At this moment, Concubine Jia painted two mandarin ducks playing in the lake.

The mandarin ducks were painted very well and lifelike, and were the result of Concubine Jia's long practice.

She drew it today specifically to make Emperor Zhaoning happy.

Emperor Zhaoning was indeed very happy when he saw this, and his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia said: "Once the little girl heals Nan Yuanxiang's face, she will come back naturally. We don't have to worry too much."

"But the little girl's homework will inevitably be delayed."

“Learning is a long-term thing. It is not good to fish for three days and rest for two days.”

Emperor Zhaoning was still very concerned about Jiujiu's studies.

Concubine Jia stopped painting, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll tell her when she returns to the palace."

"No, I'm watching her study hard."

Unconsciously, when Concubine Jia faced Emperor Zhaoning, she called herself "I" instead of "your concubine".

As they talked, they exchanged glances.

"Okay." Emperor Zhaoning smiled.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard that Marquis Wu'an has returned." Concubine Jia asked seriously.

Just now she painted the mandarin ducks to please Emperor Zhaoning, and also to inquire about this matter.

Emperor Zhaoning glanced at the servants around him, and Fuan and his group retreated.

There is no outsider in the room.

Emperor Zhaoning said to Concubine Jia: "Well, I'm back."

"Marquis Wu'an returned from his garrison this time because, firstly, he had reached old age and it was time for him to step down and enjoy his retirement. Secondly, it was... it was..."

At this point, Emperor Zhaoning didn't want to say anything anymore, and his mood suddenly became bad.

He held his forehead with his hand, his face full of worry, and his words were full of anger.

"It's all because of the promise made by the late emperor."

"Why did the late emperor promise to marry the princess to the descendants of Marquis Wu'an?"

"Marquis Wu'an had great military merits in the past, and he deserves a generous reward. But, he doesn't have to marry a princess? And he doesn't have to promise to marry the first-born princess of the royal family."

"Now, in the nearly three generations of the royal family, the first-born princess is only our Jiujiu."

"This time when Marquis Wu'an returns, before he leaves office, for the sake of the family's honor, he will certainly ask for permission to have his eldest son arranged to marry us, citing the late emperor's promise."

"Then wait until the two children grow up and get married."

Emperor Zhaoning thought of this and slammed the table fiercely, saying angrily: "The eldest son of Wu'an Marquis's family has been spoiled because Wu'an Marquis had a son in his old age. He is a second-generation ancestor."

"How old is he? He's probably less than twelve. I heard he has several maids in his room."

"He doesn't study hard, and hangs out with maids and servants all day. He is just like the fifteenth brother."

"The notoriety has spread a long time ago."

"If Jiujiu gets engaged to him, her life will be ruined."

Emperor Zhaoning was unwilling to follow the promise of the previous emperor.

After all, he only has this one daughter, and he can't bear to marry her off at such a young age, especially to a second-generation rich guy.

Concubine Jia was thinking the same thing. She said, "Your Majesty, what should we do? It's not easy for us to deny the late emperor's will."

Concubine Jia has been worried about this matter ever since she heard some rumors.

Fortunately, when she asked Emperor Zhaoning about his reaction, he was on her and Jiujiu's side.

"Yaoyao, don't worry." Emperor Zhaoning came to Concubine Jia's side, hugged Concubine Jia, patted Concubine Jia's back comfortingly, and said, "I will find a way. You don't have to bother testing my attitude. There is no need for this between you and me."

"As for Wu'an Hou, no matter what threats or inducements, I will protect our Jiujiu and veto this marriage."

“…”

But after all, it was a promise made by the late emperor himself, and all the ministers know it, so it may not be that easy.
