Chapter 303: Taking the Pulse
So the result of the goddess's intention but the king's indifference was that the king took her mother out of the capital in a hurry to take up the post.
In short, no one can stop him from striving for his future!
I couldn't help but sigh for my aunt, guessing that her wish to have a grandson is not likely to come true for the time being.
Jiang Wan smiled and comforted Concubine Haoliang and her daughter, assuring them that he had absolutely no intention of causing trouble, and asked them to put their minds at ease and just live their lives in peace.
He also let them know in advance to reassure them that during the three-year mourning period, neither Prince Shun nor the princess would be arranged to marry by the emperor, so they could rest assured.
It must be said that Jiang Wan really has a certain level of ability in controlling people's hearts, and her previous expertise has not been wasted.
When I arrived, the atmosphere in Jing'an Palace was gloomy, but when I left, it felt like the melancholy atmosphere of the entire palace suddenly cleared up.
After sending the Queen away with great gratitude, Concubine Liang hugged her beloved baby, unable to suppress her joy.
"See what I said? Your fourth sister-in-law is different from your fourth brother. She's not that petty! If you had let me talk to her earlier, why would we have to live in fear every day?"
"Mother, Fourth Brother has already become the Emperor, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Yes, yes, yes, mother was wrong. Your fourth brother is actually quite good, much more considerate than your father..."
When she accidentally mentioned that man again, a trace of sadness flashed across Concubine Liang's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, forcing herself to let it go. Holding her delicate daughter in her arms, she seemed to be holding the whole world tightly, and her whole body was as gentle as water.
"Jiao Jiao'er, that Xu family member is too arrogant for you to control. This time, the Queen was magnanimous and let it go, but who knows if she can get away with it the same way next time? Let's just stop worrying about him, okay?"
Princess Jianing leaned on her mother's shoulder, and the elegant and handsome face appeared in front of her eyes, and her eyes were filled with regret.
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother."
"good."
Gently stroking her daughter's long hair again and again, Concubine Liang's eyes showed guilt for not being able to fulfill her daughter's wish, but also happiness that her daughter was smart and not tormented herself.
"After you leave the palace and start your own household, I'll search carefully for you and make sure to find you a good husband with all the qualities you need. There are so many good men in the world, there's really no need to hang yourself on a crooked tree. It would be nice to try a different crooked tree."
"Mom, Xu Jiazi is not a crooked tree! He is clearly a beautiful jade."
Princess Jianing smiled sweetly, then sighed.
"You can't just belittle someone's talent just because they look down on your daughter. Father said that's unacceptable."
"Your father is right, it's mother who is wrong."
Concubine Liang could basically be said to be completely obedient to her only child.
"Let me be frank first. The Feng family had the audacity to trick me into going on a family visit, and then had Feng Shenming bring people to intercept me on the way. This is truly infuriating.
"Mother, that's your family, so I can't say much. But I definitely won't marry into the Feng family as they wish. You'd better understand this!"
After all, she was a princess of the royal family. Even if her temperament was soft and delicate, she still had a noble temperament. When Jianing's face turned cold, she had a hint of the majesty of the late emperor.
Thinking of what her family had done behind her back, Concubine Liang's face turned completely cold.
"Don't worry, you're my only child in this life. I will never allow anyone to plot against you. Not even my own family!"
We won't talk about what the mother and daughter discussed for now, let's just say that Jiang Wan strolled all the way back to Fengming Palace and happened to meet someone from the Imperial Hospital who came to check on her pulse.
The Emperor has instructed that the Empress's health is precious and her duties in the harem are extremely tiring. Her pulse must be checked daily. If anything is detected, it must be reported immediately.
Of course, the emperor's intentions were good, but the empress was indeed busy with palace affairs, so the fixed time for taking the pulse was set during the afternoon nap.
When he came in, he saw that it was Doctor Sun who came today, and Jiang Wan smiled in a friendly manner.
"Uncle Sun, you're here pretty early today."
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Don't be so polite. We are not strangers here. Uncle Sun, please get up quickly. Sit down. Hongxiu will serve tea!"
"Thank you, Queen!"
Doctor Sun stood up with a smile on his face and walked to the seat he was supposed to sit in.
"You are so polite, Empress. I dare not address you as Fourth Uncle Sun anymore. If that is not possible, you can just call me Old Sun."
Xiao Sun, who took over his grandfather's position as the imperial physician, finally evolved into Lao Sun, but this title instantly made Jiang Wan laugh.
"No, I want to laugh when I call you Old Sun.
Besides, you have watched me grow up. If you, a master of medicine, had not been there when my fourth brother was born, he would probably not have turned out to be anything good.
I call you Fourth Uncle Sun, and you deserve it."
"You don't deserve it, you really don't deserve it!"
Doctor Sun shook his head like a rattle, determined not to take advantage of this.
"What is your current status, and how can I be considered a person of high standing? Although we have a friendship since childhood, haven't you already shown me some favors?
If it weren't for your Majesty the Queen, who took our old friendship into consideration, the reputation of my Sun family, a family of imperial physicians, would have been cut off in my generation!
Your willingness to guarantee that I, your son, can inherit my father's career and re-enter the Imperial Hospital is already a great honor for my family. I dare not ask for more."
See, communicating with smart people is so worry-free. Sometimes, a simple gesture of the hand can instantly make the other person know how to express their gratitude.
Jiang Wan's smile was still gentle.
"That's quite outrageous. We all know why your father returned home. When my mother was alive, she said that things in the world cannot go against the will of heaven. It's really not Sun Taiyi's fault.
After I take charge of palace affairs, the Imperial Hospital will still need a royal physician. You have excellent medical skills and high medical ethics, and your Sun family is a family of experts and imperial physicians. There is no reason for me to deliberately kick you out, right?
These are all the skills you have accumulated, and have nothing to do with me. Since you really don't want me to call you Uncle Sun anymore, then I will still call you Doctor Sun properly. I really don't want to call you Old Sun, I have a low sense of humor.
Doctor Sun, who had learned a lot of new words from the emperor and empress, blinked his eyes. He always felt that the dialect of Dongling Prefecture was a bit too powerful and had led the emperor and empress astray.
They often say words that no one can understand.
For example, this is a funny point. Although I really don't know what's so funny about the name "Old Sun", but when the Queen was a girl in the Jiang family, she was very hard to mess with. Now that this girl has become the Queen Mother, Doctor Sun has no desire to mess with her.
So he nodded in agreement.
He took out the pulse diagnosis instrument from the medical box on his back and placed it respectfully on the other person's right hand.
"Your Majesty, let me feel your pulse again."
