Xuanyuan Qi brought the medicine Ling Xiang had asked him to prepare at the right time: "Father, this is what Fairy Linglong prepared in advance. Can I give it to my mother first?"
"I'll do it!" The emperor took the medicine bowl and gently fed Concubine Shu the medicine. "It's really thanks to Fairy Linglong that Qi'er invited! Otherwise, we would have been deceived by that quack He Xun! He Xun is so hateful!"
Xuanyuan Qi's joy was clouded by a layer of haze: "Fairy Linglong must have paid a huge price. Seeing her weak and pale appearance just now, I was really worried..."
The emperor nodded:
"Fairy Linglong is indeed a good person. Qi'er, don't worry. When she wakes up, I will definitely reward her well! I will never treat her unfairly!"
Xuanyuan Qi certainly wouldn't let Ling Xiang suffer in vain, and he would definitely strive for the greatest benefit for her:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! However, the Medical Immortal Valley has always been aloof from the world, and they probably won't take worldly rewards seriously."
The emperor agreed: "We must choose the reward carefully."
After drinking the medicine, Concubine Shu smiled and said, "After hearing so much talk from you two, who is Fairy Linglong?"
Just now, when Concubine Shu woke up, she only saw Ling Xiang's back and was really curious about her.
The family of three was talking happily, and every three sentences they talked about were about Fairy Linglong. The imperial physician flattered her at the right time:
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, the Concubine Shu is blessed with great fortune, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Huai is so filial that Heaven has specially sent Fairy Linglong. It is truly a blessing for our Great Jing Empire!"
The emperor patted Xuanyuan Qi on the shoulder and said, "Qi'er, you've done a great job this time! What reward would you like?"
Xuanyuan Qi held Concubine Shu's hand tightly and said, "If Mother is well again, that will be the greatest reward for me. I don't ask for anything else."
The emperor was very pleased: "Good boy! I am proud of you!"
Concubine Shu pouted and acted coquettishly: "Your Majesty~~Qi'er is filial and doesn't want a reward, but you really won't give it to him? Is it so easy to hire people from the Medical Immortal Valley? Qi'er must have put in a lot of effort..."
The emperor hurriedly coaxed the beauty in his arms: "Okay, okay, Concubine Shu, let me make this promise to you, Qi'er. You can have whatever you want."
Xuanyuan Qi thought about it seriously and said: "I don't want anything, but since my father wants to give it to me, then please give me a princess."
At Xuanyuan Qi's age, he should have married a wife long ago, but he has always been unreasonable. Every time the emperor mentioned his marriage to Concubine Shu, he was always unhappy and criticized the candidates they prepared for him as worthless.
Because he despised her so much, no noble lady was willing to marry him, so his marriage was delayed again and again.
It was rare that he actually took the initiative to ask for a princess, so the emperor and the concubine were of course happy to see it happen.
"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed heartily. "Qi'er is grown up now. It's time for him to get married."
Concubine Shu quickly asked, "Which noble lady has Qi'er chosen?"
Xuanyuan Qi's face flushed suspiciously: "I haven't confirmed it yet... How about this, Father, Mother, wait until she and I have expressed our feelings, then I will tell you. Then, you are not allowed to disagree!"
"Okay, as long as it's the princess that Qi'er likes, mother will definitely marry her to you!"
"Father~~" Xuanyuan Qi looked at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor smiled heartily: "Okay, as long as the girl is willing to marry you, I will definitely grant your wish!"
Xuanyuan Qi gave a warning: "Promise me that you won't obstruct us! You can't stop us just because of her identity!"
The emperor was so smart. From the interaction between Xuanyuan Qi and Ling Xiang just now, he could tell that his son was probably bewitched by the Fairy Linglong. If he could really marry a descendant of the Medical Immortal Valley as his daughter-in-law, it would be a great joy for the royal family. Of course, he would be happy to see it happen.
"Okay, I promise you! No matter who it is, as long as she's the princess Qi'er wants, as long as she's not married, and as long as she's willing, I'll marry her back to you!"
"The emperor's word is as good as gold!" Xuanyuan Qi acted like a child who had eaten candy, acting like a spoiled child in front of his parents.
"Of course!" The emperor took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xuanyuan Qi: "This is my promise! Qi'er, you can take this jade pendant and bring your beloved to ask father to grant you a marriage at any time!"
Xuanyuan Qi happily accepted the jade pendant and said, "It's been so long. I wonder if Fairy Linglong is feeling better or if she's woken up. I'll go check on her first."
"Go." The emperor and his concubine said in unison.
After Xuanyuan Qi left, the emperor and his concubine smiled at each other.
"This Linglong Fairy is a good one. Not only is she good at medicine, but she is also courageous and decisive. If Qi'er can really marry her, we will become relatives of the Medical Immortal Valley. This will have a hundred benefits and no harm." The emperor was very pleased and took Concubine Shu's hand and said with emotion,
"Perhaps only someone like Fairy Linglong can conquer our Qi'er."
Concubine Shu snuggled in the emperor's arms and said softly, "Hearing your majesty's words, I am even more curious about who this exquisite fairy is."
"How about later, when she wakes up and feels better, I'll invite her to dinner in your honor?"
"Your Majesty, you are so kind..."
Xuanyuan Qi waited outside the door of Ling Xiang's medicinal bath. After a long time, the door finally opened and the palace maid came out. Seeing Xuanyuan Qi, she immediately saluted and said, "Greetings to His Highness Prince Huai."
"How is Fairy Linglong?"
"The fairy has woken up and is resting now."
Xuanyuan Qi could only continue to guard outside the door.
Even after performing the full act, Ling Xiang still looked pale and was resting on the soft couch outside the bathroom.
In the evening, the palace maid went to wake her up according to Ling Xiang's instructions.
Ling Xiang packed up and walked out of the room with Gongzheng's help. Seeing the statue of Xuanyuan Qi standing there, she asked in confusion, "Is His Highness Prince Huai waiting for me?"
"Mother is finally well. I came here to thank you." In front of so many outsiders, Xuanyuan Qi didn't want to act too close and said politely.
Ling Xiang rubbed his temple weakly: "As long as the Concubine Shu is well, it's worth it that I spent half my life saving her."
"My mother has already ordered someone to prepare a room for Fairy Linglong. If you're not feeling well, can I have dinner delivered to your room?"
From Xuanyuan Qi's eyes, Ling Xiang understood that he wanted her to stay in the palace for one night: "Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Huai."
The emperor and Concubine Shu sent people to deliver a lot of supplements to Ling Xiang. Ling Xiang "forced himself" to have dinner and slept until noon the next day.
Ling Xiang had just finished packing when Caidie, the head maid from Concubine Shu's palace, came to invite Ling Xiang: "The Queen has prepared lunch, please join us, Fairy."
In the kitchen, the maid in charge of taking care of Ling Xiang walked up to Concubine Shu and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, I've secretly taken a look. Fairy Linglong is a real beauty beneath the mask!"
Concubine Shu was very satisfied: "Go down and receive your reward."
Ling Xiang didn't know that the face on the human skin mask that Xuanyuan Qi gave her had been secretly seen by the palace maid. She followed Caidie all the way to the kitchen. Just as she sat down in the kitchen, the emperor arrived. "Fairy Linglong, you have worked hard. How are you feeling now?"
