The night is as cold as water.
After settling Lu Qianxue, Song Huan dragged his tired body back to the palace.
The folk customs in Daliang were open. Although women could not become officials, they could become medical officers.
It's just that Lu Qianxue is a female prostitute after all. I wonder if she can convince the public after entering Tai Hospital?
This depends on her own ability.
Although Song Huan was sympathetic to her, if Lu Qianxue could not convince all the imperial doctors, she would naturally not be able to become the first imperial physician.
If someone were to catch him and make a big fuss, saying that Song Huan, the fourth prince, was so dazzled by women that he brought back a sweetheart to be the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, that would be bad!
"Your Highness, you are back!"
As soon as Song Huan came back, he saw Cuimei coming up to him happily.
After spending a long time outside today, Song Huan only felt sore all over, waiting for Cuimei to give him a good massage.
Unexpectedly, Cuimei actually said that Emperor Liang had sent people to inquire several times and was waiting to see her.
"..."
Although Song Huan was tired, he didn't want to delay too long when he thought that Emperor Liang was still waiting for him in the Yangxin Hall.
Seeing Song Huan hurriedly leaving again, Cuimei's eyes were filled with joy.
Your Highness, he has finally been appreciated by Long Live Lord!
Obviously a few days ago, His Highness the Fourth Prince was just a prince that no one cared about, or even took any notice of.
The master did not take him seriously, and as a slave, Cuimei was naturally ostracized by other palace maids and eunuchs.
However, things are no longer what they used to be. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has worked hard and gained recognition and importance from Lord Long Live.
How can you say something? If it is gold, it will definitely shine!
Cuimei raised her hand to wipe away the tears of excitement.
From now on, in front of those arrogant palace maids, I will finally be able to stand proud and straighten my back!
…
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Although it was already dusk and the night was quiet.
But Emperor Liang was already leaning on the couch, reading the memorial close to the candlelight.
When the eunuch Xue Hai saw that Emperor Liang was still busy with government affairs, his brows were filled with worry.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should go to bed early!"
"Tomorrow morning, you have to go to the morning court!"
"Concubine Shu has been here several times and said she wanted to bring you supper."
Upon hearing Concubine Shu's name, a trace of impatience flashed across Emperor Liang's face.
Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the second prince Song De, and she is also the person with the highest status in the harem after the queen.
During this period, she waited outside every night to see Emperor Liang.
Needless to say, it was naturally because of her son’s grounding!
Thinking of these things, Emperor Liang felt upset, so he kept avoiding Concubine Shu.
"There's no rush." Emperor Liang waved his hand lightly, "I still have to wait for the fourth child."
I don’t know what’s going on these days. I don’t ask that brat about some big things, as if I don’t have a backbone!
Even Emperor Liang himself did not realize that he unknowingly valued his son so much.
"Father, I'm late!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Song Huan striding up.
In his hand, he also held a food box.
Hearing Song Huan's voice, Emperor Liang put down the memorial in his hand and frowned pretending to be displeased.
"You kid, where have you gone?"
"Going back to the palace so late?"
Song Huan smiled playfully, bowed to Emperor Liang, and then sat down opposite Emperor Liang.
"My son, I know I was wrong. Father, please don't be angry first! Anger will hurt your health!"
"You saw it was so late when you read the memorial. You must have not had midnight snack, right?"
With that said, Song Huan opened the food box and, like a magic trick, took out a few plates from it.
Looking at the snacks on the plate that he had never seen before, Emperor Liang couldn't help but look curious.
"What are all these things?"
Song Huan replied with a smile: "Father, this is a snack invented by my son. I asked the kitchen to make it specially."
"This is called egg tart, this is called cookie, and this is called tiramisu cake."
"This is the only one in the world, and no one else has it!"
"Try it quickly!"
Emperor Liang was a little confused as to why they had such strange names!
Never heard of it before!
However, smelling the faint milky aroma of the tea, the glutton in Emperor Liang's stomach was still aroused.
After each took a bite, Emperor Liang's eyes widened in surprise.
"Fourth, where did you learn these refreshments?"
"I have never tasted anything like this before!"
Song Huan chuckled and said, "I thought this all by myself!"
"Father, if you like to eat it, I will tell the imperial kitchen the recipe and ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you every day."
“But you have to exercise some restraint and don’t eat too much and get diabetes!”
Emperor Liang felt that his son was getting more and more weird. He couldn't understand eight out of ten sentences he said to him every day!
However, Emperor Liang did not pursue the matter.
Compared with the silent, dull and stupid person in the past, Emperor Liang admired Song Huan more now who was talkative and confident.
"By the way," Song Huan took the initiative to explain to Emperor Liang, "My son is out today and has brought back the envoy of the new hospital."
"So fast?"
Emperor Liang was a little unbelievable.
"Shouldn't the governor of the Taiyuan Hospital be selected through a public announcement by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then be selected uniformly after going through layer-by-layer assessments?"
Ordinary imperial doctors must pass at least three assessments before entering the palace.
In terms of time, it will take at least two or three months.
How come the fourth child is so resolute and can do it in just one afternoon!
Song Huan smiled and said: "Father, I think that if we still follow the original method, we will inevitably sneak into the hands of the Grand Master again."
"It would be better for me to directly select a talent and let her establish herself in the Imperial Hospital based on her true abilities!"
"If she can really convince all the imperial doctors, it will prove that she is indeed worthy of being the dean of the imperial hospital."
"As the saying goes, reputation is the most important!"
When Emperor Liang heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Too."
"Now in the Daliang court, perhaps it is your new approach that needs to be taken in order to put an end to official collusion!"
Looking at Emperor Liang sighing, Song Huan asked with concern: "Why is my father so troubled?"
Emperor Liang sighed and said, "When we come here, it's the horse bandits in Liangzhou who are causing trouble."
"Secondly, after the Ministry of Household Affairs was purged, there were vacancies in the positions."
"The official department compiled a list of candidates for me, but I don't want to use it!"
"Don't think too much, this group of people must have been selected by Shangguan Yi."
"What use do I need them for?"
"Tomorrow at the court, I plan to order the Prime Minister to personally check and select talents for me!"
Song Huan thought for a while: "Father, I think this is not a matter of who selects talents!"
"Even if the Prime Minister comes forward, he will not be able to find out the origins of everyone in every detail."
"If the Prime Minister fails to detect the Grand Master among them in time, won't he be implicated again?"
"The Prime Minister's implication is minor. If he brings in the Grand Master's subordinates again, wouldn't he make the same mistake again?"
"So this time, the problem must be solved from the source."
