Chapter 523 The young are so promising!
Sure enough, Xuanhuang was still interested.
"Only twenty numbers a day? There's a queue every day? What if you can't get a spot? Can you jump the queue by paying extra? Can the rich and powerful jump the queue?"
"Usually, the appointment is postponed to the next day. No one can skip it, and there is no extra charge. Our clinic is affordable for ordinary people, and the fees are not high. Our mother has limited energy and can only see twenty patients a day. If the patient's life is in danger, we can consider it. Dad and Mom will make good arrangements."
Xuan Huang laughed out loud.
The wrinkles between the eyebrows have smoothed out a lot.
"To be honest, Jiang's medical skills are still okay. Sigh, it's just... never mind, let's not talk about that bastard Liao Jiu. What a jerk."
Eunuch Si smiled and joked, "That's also due to your own pampering, Your Majesty."
Xuan Huang stroked his forehead; his headache came back again.
"Go find Xiao Dezi and the others to give me a massage..." Jiang Lianzhu taught them the massage techniques last time.
It is very effective. I have been relying on this to relieve my symptoms in recent times. It is more effective than taking medicine.
However, the frequency of headaches seems to be increasing, and the condition seems to be getting worse.
The prescriptions I had taken before Jiang Lianzhu were no longer very effective.
Eunuch Si smiled and took the order and left.
Dabao said, "Uncle Emperor, would you like me to let my mother come into the palace and help you take another look?"
Xuan Huang shook his head and said, "No, I can endure it."
He didn't want to see either Liao Jiu or Jiang Lianzhu.
None of them are good.
He has a particularly strong opinion of Jiang Lianzhu.
It's not just that the two of them challenged the prestige of the Xuan royal family, there are many other things that make people concerned.
For example, it caused him to lose a trusted favorite.
In the past, this favorite minister put him first, but now she is the first. In his opinion, Liao Jiu is no longer an absolutely loyal person and is no longer useful.
The fact that he didn't order him to be killed was a sign of his compassionate nature in recent years.
All this was caused by Jiang Lianzhu.
If it weren't for Dabao's death-immunity token, Jiang would have died long ago.
Dabao did not insist. Since Emperor Xuan did not believe in his mother Jiang, he did not force her.
Those in high positions will not take risks with their bodies if they have suspicions in their hearts.
Besides, there are people who can treat Emperor Xuan in this huge Imperial Hospital. Emperor Xuan has always been very dissatisfied with Jiang Lianzhu. If he makes a small mistake in treating her, it will be like pushing Jiang Lianzhu into trouble. This time, he will no longer have the death-free token.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Dabao said to Erbao, "Go and keep an eye on the door."
Erbao cleverly ran to the door.
Then, Dabao lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Uncle Emperor, I heard that the eldest princess was an impersonator of the snake woman. She's been interrogating her at the Inner Guards for so long now. Has the trial yielded any results? Has the real eldest princess been found?"
Xuan Huang's expression changed, "How did you know?"
"In our family, my parents never hid anything from me just because I was a child."
These words made Xuan Huang feel mixed emotions.
He agreed with what Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu did. They were sensible. They lived in Prince Xiang's mansion. If they took advantage of being Prince Xiang's adoptive parents to bully the child and usurp the throne, he would never agree.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
But at the same time, I felt deeply worried and heartbroken.
"Your eldest princess sister... alas... is recuperating and is not in any danger at the moment." Xuan Huang did not give a direct answer.
Dabao asked again, "What about the snake girl from Baihua Tower?"
Xuan Huang regained his cool expression, "Of course I will kill him! I won't let him live to bring disaster to my country, Da'an."
"That's really great. The eldest princess is safe and sound, and the remaining evildoers in Baihualou have been eradicated. It still depends on the emperor to take action to get to the bottom of this matter and resolve it satisfactorily."
Dabao's expressionless expression and flattery were a true reflection of Nanbao's style.
At this time, Eunuch Si and others had already returned.
Dabao didn't mention these things anymore and chatted with Xuanhuang about family matters.
Eunuch De came over to give Emperor Xuanhuang a massage, and Emperor Xuanhuang closed his eyes and rested.
Dabao and his two brothers just stood by quietly without disturbing them.
After the massage, Xuan Huang's headache was much relieved. I chatted with Xuan Huang again, this time talking about the teacher in the academy. Er Bao said that his sister Nan Bao had learned to fish. She had become thinner by eating fish every day. His favorite thing to eat was still big fat meat...
When it was time for dinner, Emperor Xuan invited the two brothers to have dinner together, and specially asked the imperial chef to add a few more meat dishes, such as braised pork, sweet and sour pork, braised pork with sauce, steamed pork, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... and so on.
Let Erbao enjoy the meal.
Erbao ate so much that his mouth was full of oil. If Dabao hadn't been next to him and kept staring at him, he would have been so full that his stomach would have been round.
"It's delicious, Uncle Emperor! The imperial chefs in this palace are almost as good as my mother's! We'll come to see you more often next time. Do you mind?"
Xuan Huang laughed, "Yes, of course not. Is your mother a good cook too?"
Erbao replied, "Of course not. There's nothing our mother can't cook, whether it's flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water. We can cook spicy food, steamed food, braised food, hot pot, stewed food, and spicy hot pot... She can cook everything."
Dabao also smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, if you are free someday, you can come to our Xiangwang Mansion as a guest and have a meal."
Xuan Huang laughed loudly, "Okay, you guys have made me a little interested. I'll go when I have time."
No matter how much he dislikes Jiang, the children like her and protect her, which shows that she is still a good person with some good qualities.
If it were an ordinary child, he might have been blinded and coaxed into praising his stepmother.
But Dabao is definitely not an ordinary child. He is so precocious that it is scary. Everyone says that Jiang Lianzhu is good, and Jiang Lianzhu is really good to children.
He hadn't laughed like this since he brought the eldest princess back to the Internal Guard for interrogation.
I laughed out loud several times today.
The feeling of being in a good mood is really good.
Before I knew it, I had drunk an extra bowl of porridge and my appetite improved.
After lunch, Xuanhuang wanted to take a nap, so Dabao and Erbao said goodbye and went home.
Xuan Huang refused and arranged rooms for the two brothers, allowing them to take a nap and play chess with him in the afternoon.
Dabao has learned to play chess in the academy.
Xuanhuang is also a senior chess fan.
Dabao and the others had no choice but to agree. After taking a half-hour lunch break, they came to the imperial study to wait for Emperor Xuanhuang.
Dabao played three games with Xuanhuang. Dabao was a beginner and naturally lost to Xuanhuang, but his performance was quite good and Xuanhuang praised him again and again.
Dabao humbly asked Xuanhuang for advice on chess skills. Xuanhuang explained seriously and Dabao listened attentively.
He quickly learned from his experience and was on the verge of winning the last round. Emperor Xuan could only sigh that the young were indeed formidable!
