They studied etiquette for half a month, and Ye Qingwan stayed in the palace for half a month. Although the tutor would secretly take her out of the palace to play every night, she still wanted to go home.
Today, the nanny said she was going to meet another distinguished guest, so she gave them a day off.
Ye Qingwan was so bored that she ate peanuts by the pond in the Imperial Garden. She ate one and threw one into the lake. A group of fat little fish kept fighting for them.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Muyun stood behind her without her knowing when.
Ye Qingwan didn't even want to raise her head: "Your Majesty, should I kneel?"
"Do you want to kneel?"
"I don't really want to." Ye Qingwan was listless.
Nangong Muyun smiled and sat down next to her: "If you don't want to kneel, then don't kneel."
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Seeing that she looked listless, Nangong Muyun thought she was not feeling well and reached out to touch her forehead.
Ye Qingwan dodged immediately, this is another price.
"I have been growing some mushrooms in the palace these days."
Nangong Muyun:? ?
"Mushrooms? And then?"
"Then I cooked it and ate it, and I got poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Nangong Muyun was very nervous: "Where do you feel uncomfortable now?"
After saying that, he called out to the eunuch behind him, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go get the imperial physician?"
The young eunuch responded and ran away quickly.
"No need, come back." Ye Qingwan called the person back and gave Nangong Muyun a blank look. Do you want to chat?
"Why don't you ask me first what kind of poison I was poisoned by?"
Nangong Muyun was stunned for a moment, then he understood instantly, it was fake, feeling a little helpless, but still went along with her: "Then what kind of poison have you been poisoned by?"
"So lonely (mushroom poison)"
Nangong Muyun burst out laughing. I knew you were trying to scare me, you little troublemaker.
"I have something to do today and need to go out incognito. I'm in need of a little follower. Who do you think would be a good fit?"
Ye Qingwan quickly sat up straight with a look of "look at me, look at me".
But Nangong Muyun deliberately didn't look at her, but looked left and right: "This little eunuch is quite smart, why don't you take him with you."
Ye Qingwan's excitement was instantly deflated, and Nangong Muyun said, "No, no, he keeps his head down all day long, and he'll be exposed once he goes out."
Yes, yes, yes, so look at me, I am not bowing my head, my body is straight.
"Why don't we take Xia Xuejian with us? She's a good doctor and there's someone to take care of her."
Ye Qingwan was discouraged again and threw the peanuts in her hand into the lake: "I am tired, I will go back and rest first."
After saying that, he bowed towards him and was about to leave.
"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. Why are you so angry? I'll take you there." Nangong Muyun looked as if he couldn't do anything to her.
Ye Qingwan turned around: "Really?"
"Really? Go change your clothes now. We're leaving right away."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon." Ye Qingwan ran away, afraid that if she was late, Nangong Muyun would not wait for her: "You must wait for me."
She returned to the room, quickly changed into men's clothes, and ran back, panting.
Nangong Muyun smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Then where are we going?" His legs were long, and one step of his was equivalent to two steps of hers, so she could only jog to keep up with him.
"There have been several epidemics in the capital, and I have to go out and see if the ministers have handled them properly." Once an epidemic spreads, it can be very scary.
Now that they have discovered it early, as long as the infected are treated in time and isolated, the spread of the epidemic can be curbed at the source.
When I went out, I found that there were not just a few cases, but the entire village was blocked off.
The officers, soldiers and doctors were busy distributing food and medicine. Liu Sheng, wearing a plain white shirt today, stood aside, discussing something with the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and He Yu.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue said something that was scolded by the Minister of Revenue: "What do you mean by no money? Isn't there always money in the treasury?"
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue seemed to have something to hide and wanted to talk to the Minister of Revenue in private, but the Minister of Revenue was stubborn and insisted on asking more questions.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "That money was used by the Minister of Rites to arrange for His Majesty to be crowned a concubine. The original grassland princess has not yet been crowned a concubine. Now that a princess from the Western Regions has arrived, the expenses will naturally be higher."
The Minister of Revenue was immediately annoyed: "Now that the epidemic is raging, the money must be used to take care of the victims first. If the Ministry of Rites wants to organize any ceremony, let them find the money themselves. Anyway, our Ministry of Revenue has no money."
"Sir, please be careful with your words. This is His Majesty's business." The Minister of Revenue was so scared that he wanted to cover his mouth.
"Transfer the money here first. I will go and apologize to the emperor for the matter of conferring the title of princess." Liu Sheng suddenly spoke.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue immediately shut up. Since Tutor Liu was willing to take the blame, it had nothing to do with their Ministry of Revenue.
Liu Sheng naturally knew what he was thinking. He glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. Instead, he discussed the treatment of the epidemic with He Yu.
Section 194
He Yu said that as long as food and medicine can be supplied in time, epidemics are not a problem.
"Okay, go ahead and treat the disease without worry. Just tell me what you want, and I'll figure out the rest."
Hearing this, He Yu bowed to him solemnly and said, "I will die for you."
After the discussion, they went to do their own things.
Liu Sheng turned around and found Ye Qingwan and others were watching him outside.
He walked out and bowed to Nangong Muyun: "Your Majesty."
Ye Qingwan hid beside Nangong Muyun and waved to the tutor secretly.
Liu Sheng turned his gaze to her, smiling.
Nangong Muyun naturally saw these little actions, but he was too lazy to care about them. He was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han, so he couldn't do anything about it.
However, Liu Sheng's handling of the epidemic was indeed very good.
Now the epidemic is contained in this village and no one is allowed to go out, so it is considered to be under control.
"I'll go in and take a look. You stay here and are not allowed to come in." Nangong Muyun said to Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan could only nod, and as soon as he left, she immediately ran over to pull the tutor away.
Liu Sheng took a step back and stopped her from touching him: "The epidemic is contagious. I haven't changed my clothes. Don't get too close to me."
Then someone brought a scarf to cover her mouth and nose.
"Go back first, don't stay here too long, I'll come find you in the evening."
Ye Qingwan didn't know that he had been busy with the epidemic these days, and she kept pestering him to take her out of the palace to play. She was really ignorant.
"Master, you are so tired, go back home and have a good rest at night, and don't come to see me."
Liu Sheng smiled and reached out to touch her head, but suddenly remembered that he had entered the village, so he took his hand back: "That won't work, business is important, and my Miss Ye is also important."
Ye Qingwan was so coaxed by him that her eyes were full of smiles, but she still said, "But I don't want you to be so tired."
"My Miss Ye is my spiritual support. I feel tired when I can't see you."
He said some disgusting words in a serious manner, and Ye Qingwan was left in tears and laughter.
After that, she sat outside the village, holding her chin and watching the white figure busy in the village.
