A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 522: Princess Rui still knows medical skills?

The emperor shook his head: "It's really time for me to establish a prince... I owe the queen and I owe Yi'er... It's a pity that Yi'er is like this... I need to find someone early who is willing to treat him well after my death..."

"Your Majesty, please don't think like this. Your body and bones are strong and you will live a long life." Eunuch Gao comforted him hurriedly.

"I've long been tired of hearing this. I'm not afraid of death, but there are still some things I'm worried about right now."

The emperor knows his body well. His body has collapsed over the years.

Now he only looks tough on the outside, but in fact he can deceive others but not himself.

Then the emperor looked into the distance and murmured in a trance: "If there is anything to be afraid of, it should be that he is afraid that he will see her after death and not know how to apologize to her."

Eunuch Gao quickly consoled him: "Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself. Your Majesty was also kept in the dark about what happened at Duke Xu's Mansion back then. Now that the truth has been revealed, the Empress knows better and has definitely forgiven Your Majesty..."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "She has such a strong temper, how can she forgive me so easily? She will definitely blame me for not finding out the truth at the beginning and failing to protect her father and brothers. She will definitely not want to see me again. of…"

"Your Majesty, the Queen has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. You have forgotten that when she kicked you out of the room, she would secretly ask our family to get a cloak for you, Your Majesty. Even if she said she would ignore you, she would secretly ask the imperial kitchen to give you a cloak. Make some medicinal food!"

Eunuch Gao's words made the emperor fall into memories, and he couldn't help but talk to himself about the past.

"When I was young, women were just for me to balance the affairs of the court, just as they gave birth to children for the purpose of stabilizing the court. When she first entered the harem, she was so unruly that she didn't even want to let me stay overnight. Shi Bian also doesn’t want to talk to her and don’t want to spend too much time on her.”

Hearing the emperor speak these words, Eunuch Gao listened quietly.

This is the first time that the emperor has told him about this past event. Whenever something reminds him of this past event, the emperor will inevitably mention it once. This has been the case for the past nineteen years.

The emperor began to disagree with the emperor and the empress at first, then one day he began to fall in love with him, and then he became the only one he favored.

Outsiders thought that the emperor favored the queen alone at that time to reassure the Xu family at the border. However, they did not know that the emperor only thought that way at the beginning, but during the back and forth collision between the two, the emperor became sincere.

 That year, the emperor really fell into trouble.

Then that incident happened. Even though the evidence of Duke Xu's rebellion was conclusive, the emperor couldn't bear to abolish the queen. He just wanted to send the queen to Jing'an Temple to recuperate, and wanted to take the queen back after the storm subsided.

Who would have thought that the queen died before the emperor came to pick her up, and even the child she gave birth to died.

Since then, the emperor no longer favored other women in the harem. In the harem where princes and princesses were born one after another, no concubines were pregnant after Queen Xu left.

At this point, everyone finally believed that the emperor was really passionate about Queen Xu.

How deep this feeling is, no one can say.

 “That’s all, let’s call it a day.”

With his thoughts returning, the emperor no longer had the intention to continue working.

The emperor put aside the mountain of memorials and stood up. Eunuch Gao hurriedly helped him in front of the mountain.

At this moment, the young father-in-law outside tiptoed to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Princess Rui have come into the palace."

"Why are they here?" The emperor stopped, paused and then returned to his seat, "Let them come to the imperial study."

 The emperor then asked Eunuch Gao to bring a chair and place it on the side of his writing desk.

Eunuch Gao was smiling all over his face. It could be seen that the emperor's attitude towards Prince Rui was completely different from that towards other princes.

Prince Rui has not yet arrived, but the emperor has already had a chair prepared. How could anyone else receive such treatment? Being given a seat is already a great gift!

 After waiting for a while, Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo came to the imperial study room together.

"No need to be too polite." The emperor said it before Wei Jin could also salute.

 He looked at Wei Jinyi with kind eyes, and his attitude toward Wei Ruo was also very good.

 “Give me a seat.” The emperor continued.

Wei Ruo helped Wei Jinyi and asked him to sit down in the position he had prepared long ago.

 And Wei Ruo himself was standing behind Wei Jinyi on the left.

After Wei Jinyi sat down, the emperor looked at Wei Jinyi closely, and then said with some relief: "Yier looks good today."

 “The princess takes good care of her.” Wei Jin also replied.

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Wei Ruo, and said with approval: "Princess Rui is thoughtful."

 “This is what a concubine should do.” Wei Ruo replied.

The emperor then asked Wei Jinyi: "Why did Yi'er come to see me today? If it's not something important, just let someone know. There's no need to make the trip in person."

Wei Jin also replied: "I have something to worry about, so I brought the princess here..."

 As he spoke, Wei Jin also turned to look at Wei Ruo beside him.

The emperor also followed Wei Jinyi's gaze and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Ruo replied: "My concubine has prepared a tonic for the prince to help him replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body and strengthen the body. It is effective for the prince to take it. The prince is thinking of his father, so he wants to offer this medicine to him."

The emperor looked at Wei Ruo and said with a kind face: "Princess Rui also knows some medical skills?"

Wei Ruo replied: "I only know a little bit about this medicine. This prescription was left by Dr. Xu. I only know that people with physical weakness are very effective in taking this medicine."

The emperor said: "I didn't know that Princess Rui had such an ability before. Your craftsmanship has amazed me. In addition, you have discovered new rice seeds in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to benefit the people. You are really impressive." I’m full of surprises.”

 Because Wei Ruo had already given the emperor quite a surprise, this time, Wei Ruo just said that she had some knowledge of medical skills, and the emperor couldn't help but praise her repeatedly.

“I am very frightened. It is my great honor to be able to solve the emperor’s problems.” Wei Ruo replied.

"You don't have to be humble. If you are a man, I will definitely let you join the court as an official, so that you can show your talents and benefit all people." The emperor said.

"I am afraid, I do not dare to be a concubine." Wei Ruo bowed his head.

Wei Jin also picked up the topic again: "My son, I kindly ask my father to allow the princess to diagnose your pulse to ensure that my father is suitable for taking the medicine left by the miracle doctor Xu."

The emperor did not respond immediately, but looked at Wei Ruo.

 After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I will make an exception and let Princess Rui make a diagnosis."

Hearing this, the thoughtful Eunuch Gao went to get the pulse pillow and asked the emperor to place his wrist on the pulse pillow.

Wei Ruo tiptoed to the emperor, bowed his body, carefully stretched out his hand, and felt for the emperor's pulse.
