East Palace —
Inviting the Moon Palace.
This wasn't the first time they'd been there. Jiang Yue and her grandfather, led by a palace maid, successfully entered the palace.
Sure enough, the young princess's breathing became smooth and her high fever subsided.
The symptoms have improved a lot, and I can breastfeed now.
Old Master Gu stepped forward, took the pulse, examined the patient for a long time, and then cupped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The little princess is very lucky and has been out of danger. With proper care, she will be fine."
"really?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xian'er was overjoyed. With Caixia's help, she came to the cradle and cried and laughed at the child.
Then, with some difficulty and some pleading, he said:
"Does the gentleman possess any effective medicine for treating scars?"
"I am ashamed to say that I am not skilled enough to remove the scars on the young princess's face."
However, the Imperial Medical Academy is full of talented people and must have other effective remedies. If a good remedy can be found to remove the acne scars before the little princess turns three, she will surely regain her beauty.
Old Master Gu didn't say it was a death sentence, giving the other party a glimmer of hope.
"Thank you very much, sir, and thank you Princess Xiangyun."
Shangguan Xian'er was somewhat saddened, but also grateful to the two for saving her beloved daughter's life.
Before the age of three, right? Then she still had time to find a good remedy for her daughter!
"Your Highness is too kind. Since the young princess is unharmed, I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now."
Jiang Yuexu helped the other person up, and after exchanging pleasantries, she took her grandfather and made her way out.
As for the reward, she probably doesn't need to mention it; the Crown Prince will send the gifts to the Second Prince's house anyway.
Perhaps the Crown Prince had given prior instructions, because the journey out of the Eastern Palace went very smoothly.
There was even a sedan chair from the Crown Prince's palace to escort the grandmother and granddaughter for a while.
It's foolish not to take advantage of a bargain, especially since her every move was already under the watchful eyes of the Crown Prince.
Instead of hiding, it's better to be open and generous.
It's for the Crown Prince's spies to see, it's for the Crown Prince to see!
It's perfectly reasonable to vaccinate your own relatives against smallpox.
At the Ge residence, the second son has already explained things to Fangfang: Ge Haoran resigned from his official post at the beginning of the year and is therefore now unemployed at home.
Knowing that her in-laws were coming, she specially called her own brat back home.
Ge Qingzhou was a little hesitant; he was all alone, so what was he afraid of about smallpox?
As a result, he was scolded by Sister Fang, and he had no choice but to sit at home dejectedly, waiting to be vaccinated.
After the Ge family lost power, fewer people visited their home, and only the loyal servants who had nowhere else to go remained. In total, there were no more than twenty people.
When Jiang Yue and the others arrived, they were somewhat surprised. After learning some secrets, alarm bells rang in their hearts.
The Crown Prince has already begun, and so have the other princes!
Nanjing is in great danger now; the smallpox might have been started by someone!
She was innocently dragged into this mess, isn't that...?
Leave Nanjing as soon as possible.
After watching her in-laws write words with their fingers dipped in water, a slight sound came from the roof, and Jiang Yue felt a chill run down her spine.
Seeing his in-laws' unpleasant expression, Ge Haoran sighed inwardly.
Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying more; we can only be more careful.
After wiping away the tea, it was as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yue learned that the Ge family was being watched, and with a quick thought, she smiled and said:
“Father-in-law, you are no longer working at the Imperial Hospital. If you have any difficulties at home, please feel free to tell me. We are related by marriage, and everything can be discussed.”
"Hehehe~"
"I don't like hearing that, in-law. Although I don't work at the Imperial Hospital, my family still has some savings, so we're not worried about money for now. It's just that..."
Ge Haoran picked up the conversation, pretending not to notice anything amiss, and started chatting casually with his in-laws.
Jiang Yue picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked:
"But what?"
"It's just that my good-for-nothing son is getting on in years and still not married. My Ge family only has one son in this generation, and we can't let the family line end in my hands."
Do you know any suitable girls you could introduce to me?
At this moment, Ge Haoran was a father who was very worried about his son's life and was afraid that his son would die alone.
"I thought it was something important. It's just about introducing a girl to Qingzhou. Once I'm done with this, I'll go back to Yunshui County and bring Qingzhou with me. I guarantee I'll find you a daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Yueming realized that the other party wanted her to take her beloved son away with her from Jinling and entrust him to her care!
"Thank you very much, in-laws. Now I can rest assured. To be honest, I have already prepared the betrothal gifts for Qingzhou. No matter which family the young lady comes from, our Ge family will not mistreat her!"
Ge Haoran smiled. Sure enough, his in-laws were the most reliable.
Even the most reliable in-laws will still make two cuts on your arm to get you vaccinated against smallpox!
The Ge family invited Jiang Yue to stay for lunch, and after declining a few times, she eventually stayed and had lunch.
After lunch, we had to rush to the Xu family's house. Of course, before leaving, I told the second brother that we didn't need to save dinner for them, as they would probably eat at the Xu family's house.
Ge Qingzhou was scolded by his father, who urged him to get married as soon as possible.
He argued fiercely with his father, who then kicked him out of the house, telling him to reflect on his actions.
Back when his father was still in the Imperial Hospital, he never had to worry about where he was going.
He has many friends, and everyone wants to take him in.
But now that his father is no longer in the Imperial Hospital, who still considers him a friend?
Sigh~
Alright, let's go to Sister Fang's house. Her husband won't kick him out.
Jiang Yue sat in the sedan chair in the East Palace, enjoying herself leisurely.
Does it sway?
Somewhat.
But a sedan chair is more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage.
real!
I'm not kidding you, why don't you give it a try?
Grandpa Gu yawned and occasionally lifted the sedan curtain to look at the scenery outside.
I thought to myself, this is much more spectacular than what I've seen on TV.
Nanjing, truly worthy of being the capital.
As the autumn wind rises, the leaves of the paulownia trees fall.
The Xu residence was deserted, but today a distinguished guest has arrived, and the steward specially arranged for someone to sweep away the fallen leaves for a long time.
"Cough cough cough~"
"Fuhai, why are you coughing?"
"Reporting to Steward Xu, for some reason, I feel itchy all over and started coughing this morning."
"Hey, if you're sick, go back to your room and rest. I'll help you sweep."
"No, that won't do. You're getting on in years and your legs aren't as strong as they used to be. You absolutely can't take the strain."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm also a servant in the Xu household. We're all the same. If it weren't for Master's kindness, I wouldn't be able to stay. Go back to your room and rest, I'll take care of it."
"Thank you very much, Steward Xu. I will work hard once I recover."
"Go ahead, I'll have Xiao Cui fetch a doctor for you later."
"Sigh~"
......
"Cough cough~"
"Xiao Cui, why are you coughing too?"
"Sister Lark, it's me~"
"Xiao Cui? Xiao Cui~"
The lark panicked and quickly summoned the servants to help take Xiao Cui back to the servants' quarters.
As it turned out, he saw several servants and maids had fainted, and he immediately had a bad feeling...
"Put on your face coverings and stay away from your masters. I'm going to report back to them!"
Lark made a quick decision, put on a face mask, and thought of many things she wanted to say along the way...
