Chapter 198 Younger Puppies
"No, no, take them with you!" Xia Miaoyuan clung to Emperor Mingxi's shoulders like an octopus.
Emperor Mingxi sighed, "Okay."
Soon, the family of three changed into ordinary people's clothes and drove out of the palace in a carriage.
Xia Miaoyuan put Xiaojuzi in his arms, and Maomao was tied with a chain and led to prevent him from running around.
The streets of the capital were bustling with people.
The epidemic had been going on for nearly a month, and the people had been staying at home to avoid the epidemic, and they were all suffocated. Now that the epidemic is over, everyone is going out to play.
Xia Zhengqi listened to the noisy voices on the street and couldn't help but lift the curtain to watch.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so lively, so prosperous, this is the capital of our great Xia."
Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the lap of Emperor Mingxi and stretched her neck to look out.
"Miao'er, where do you want to go?" Emperor Mingxi asked.
"To eat delicious food and buy fun things." Xia Miaoyuan answered without hesitation.
"Huh? That's Aunt Yin's clinic!" Xia Miaoyuan suddenly shouted.
The emperor and the empress looked in the direction of the sound, and it happened to be Yin Xizi's clinic outside the car.
There was a carriage parked outside the clinic. Judging from the shape of the carriage, it was used by ministers in the court.
"Huh? Now when ministers are sick, they don't go to the Imperial Hospital to see the imperial physician, but go to Yin's clinic instead? It seems that Doctor Yin's name is really famous now." The queen exclaimed.
"Who is that?" Xia Zhengqi's voice was a little surprised.
The empress and her daughter looked at the carriage, and saw a young man getting off the carriage. He was wearing a deep blue robe and was very elegant. He was none other than Cao Qingchun, a Hanlin from the Imperial Academy.
"Is that the Hanlin Cao who often writes sacrifices and prayers for Your Majesty?" the empress asked.
Xia Zhengqi nodded, "Yes."
Hanlin Cao was holding a number of gift boxes, and he walked excitedly to the clinic.
"He's not sick, is he?" Xia Miaoyuan murmured.
Looking at Hanlin Cao's mental state and the gifts in his hands, he didn't look like a patient at all.
"Are you going to give gifts?" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice.
The empress and the empress were both startled. Yes, he was going to give gifts.
"Your Majesty, let's go see Doctor Yin. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I really miss her." The Queen deliberately pretended to be indifferent, as if she suddenly thought of it.
Xia Miaoyuan pouted, [Mother, your acting skills are getting better and better. You are obviously curious why Cao Hanlin went to show his courtesy to Aunt Yin. ]
[You must say that you want to visit Aunt Yin. ]
The Queen's face flushed a little. Xia Zhengqi turned his head and smiled secretly, and then said seriously: "Okay, stop the car! Let's go see her."
The emperor, the empress and their family of three walked into the Yin's Clinic.
Cao Hanlin was following behind Yin Xizi like a follower, chattering non-stop.
The emperor, the empress and their family of three pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Sister Yin, did you drink the osmanthus honey I gave you last time?" Cao Qingchun had a charming look on his face.
"Not yet." Yin Xizi ended the topic with just two words.
"That osmanthus honey is excellent. It uses the top osmanthus flowers from the entire Great Xia. Bees are specially raised in the osmanthus forest."
"When the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, the bees will fly out to suck the stamens of the osmanthus flowers. Then they work hard to make honey."
"This kind of honey is called osmanthus honey. It has a fragrance of osmanthus. Women who drink it can also beautify their skin."
"Sister Yin, you must remember to drink it. This osmanthus honey cannot be kept for too long. Although it will not go bad if kept for too long, the taste will decline. You must drink it while it is fresh..."
Cao Hanlin was still chattering about osmanthus honey, and Yin Xizi's face showed an impatient expression.
[Mummy, it's really Cao Hanlin. You are so long-winded when writing eulogies and prayers, and you are also so long-winded when you go out to pick up girls. 】
【It’s a good thing that Aunt Yin has a calm personality. If she had a quick temper, she would have kicked you out long ago. 】
Emperor Mingxi and the Empress also frowned secretly. Why is Cao Hanlin like this? He doesn’t look like a Hanlin at all.
"Dear guests, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?" At this time, a little medicine boy came over and asked in a gentle voice.
"Oh, we are friends with Doctor Yin, and we came here to visit her." The Empress explained.
"Okay, wait a moment." The medicine boy said, turning around to inform Yin Xizi.
"No need." Xia Zhengqi grabbed the medicine boy's sleeve and said, "Let Doctor Yin be busy first. We will go and chat with her after she is done."
The medicine boy chuckled and looked at Cao Qingchun's back and said, "My dear, you have misunderstood. That person is not a patient."
[Humph, he is so lively and chattering, of course he is not a patient. I am afraid he is here to pick up girls? ] Pick up
girls!
What does it mean?
The emperor and the empress were a little confused.
The daughter's ability to see through the world is indeed good, but she often comes up with strange words.
[When did this Cao Hanlin fall in love with Aunt Yin? If the two of them are together, it can be regarded as a sister-brother relationship. Hehe, he is still a younger boy. ]
Xia Miaoyuan covered her mouth and laughed.
The emperor and the empress understood now. It turned out that the daughter was saying that Cao Hanlin was fond of Doctor Yin.
[Let me think about it...] Xia Miaoyuan grabbed her hair with her two chubby hands.
[I remember! I'm afraid that last time at the full-month banquet at my uncle's house, Cao Hanlin had already developed a crush on Aunt Yin?]
So that's it!
Emperor Mingxi and the empress looked at each other and gave each other a knowing look.
"Does this man often come to see Doctor Yin?" Emperor Mingxi's face was full of excitement to inquire about gossip.
"It's been quite a while, for several months." The medicine boy winked.
"Only a while ago, when Doctor Yin was ordered to go to the Imperial Army Camp to treat the epidemic, he didn't come."
"Little brother, what did he do when he came to see Doctor Yin?" the empress asked again.
"At first, he asked Doctor Yin to see him. He looked him up and down. Doctor Yin said he couldn't see what was wrong with him. Later, he stopped seeing him. He brought gifts every time, saying he was thanking Doctor Yin."
"Puff!" Xia Miaoyuan burst out laughing.
[This is such an old-fashioned way to flirt with girls!]
At this time, a servant walked in.
This person was Cao Qingchun's servant.
When the servant saw Emperor Mingxi and the Empress standing at the door, his eyes widened in surprise: "Emperor..."
Debao, who was standing by, was quick to cover the servant's mouth.
"My old man and his wife came to visit Doctor Yin, and your Lord Cao is here too!" Debao's voice was neither loud nor soft.
The servant immediately understood what Debao meant.
"Hello, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia, I am accompanying my master to see Doctor Yin."
When Emperor Mingxi and the Empress heard that it was Cao Qingchun's servant, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Come on, tell me, how is your master doing with Doctor Yin? How far has it progressed?" Emperor Mingxi looked gossipy.
[No way, the emperor father is such a gossiper, huh.] Xia Miaoyuan rolled his eyes.
Emperor Mingxi: What do you know, little brat? Everyone has a heart that loves gossip.
