"The old princess has a close relationship with the Queen Mother. She lives in seclusion all year round, and no one can see her even if they want to see her!"
You must know that in the past, the old princess did not want to see the Hou Mansion. Today, she was suddenly rewarded. Mrs. Liu couldn't hide her excitement. She pulled Liu Qingqing and kept urging her.
"You're going to have to be nice in a while. As long as she says a word, are you still worried about not finding a good marriage?"
Princess Pingnan in front was extremely irritable, and she felt even more disgusted with Mrs. Liu.
This sister-in-law doesn't know how to read people's faces and is extremely stupid. No wonder she can't cure Xia Yunxian!
The group of people walked through the cloister and arrived at the back garden of the palace.
The peaceful and distant scene in front of me was in sharp contrast to the bustle and bustle in the front hall.
The old princess was happy to be quiet. At this time, she was half leaning on the Taishi chair in the pavilion with her eyes closed and meditating. Her gray silver hair was decorated with a set of emerald hair and face, which was luxurious but not cumbersome. Her skirt was embroidered with dark bamboo, which was grand but elegant.
Princess Pingnan came to the front, straightened her clothes, and was about to speak when she saw Liu Qingqing rushing to the front and shouting coquettishly, "Qingqing pays your respects to the old princess!"
Everyone was shocked. At this moment, Princess Pingnan wanted to poison Liu Qingqing on the spot. It was reasonable for her mother-in-law not to like her natal family. They all acted as if they had never seen the world.
Do you think that by being the first to show your face, you will be able to please people?
As expected, the old princess frowned as soon as she opened her eyes.
Liu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had made her unhappy?
Unexpectedly, the old princess quickly softened her expression, and there was a smile in her eyes. She actually stretched out her hand, "My child, come here and let me take a good look."
Liu Qingqing was overjoyed, she knew that her lively and generous temperament was lovable!
The girl with the bright smile immediately stepped forward and was about to hold the old princess's hand, but she pushed it away and reprimanded her coldly, "It's not you! Why are people from the Liu family like this?" There are no rules! You dress so tackily, you don’t look like a lady at all!"
Liu Qingqing was stunned on the spot, while Princess Pingnan on the side almost couldn't find a place to get in.
The old princess's disgusting and mean tone was like a loud slap on her face!
Xia Yunxian, who was left out in the rear, clearly felt a friendly gaze falling on her, and her heart moved. Then Yingying stepped forward and saluted, "Old princess, I wish you all the best."
"No gift! Good boy, you look exactly like Yuan Shu!"
The old princess's eyes were bright, and Xia Yunxian was slightly surprised, "Does the old princess know my mother?"
Yuan Shu was the maiden name of her mother, General Xia's wife.
"Of course I do. Back then, I was eagerly waiting for her to be my daughter-in-law!" The old princess's unabashed preference made everyone present change their expressions. Is there such a thing?
Princess Pingnan clearly felt a few embarrassed glances falling on her, and she couldn't help but tighten her hands in her sleeves, her face looking extremely ugly.
Over the years, I have served her wholeheartedly, but I have never been able to impress my mother-in-law. I never expected that she would actually make it difficult for me to step down in front of outsiders!
"Are you twenty this year? What a pity, why did you marry into the Liu family?"
The old princess let out a long sigh, and Liu Chengyu in the corner couldn't help but stiffen. He immediately raised his head and saw the calm smile on Xia Yunxian's face.
The old princess has a prejudice against the Hou Mansion, so what does her expression mean? Could it be that she also regretted becoming his Crown Princess?
Seeing the two of them chatting with each other, their cheerful expressions made several other people feel uncomfortable.
"I heard that the old princess' old illness is difficult to cure. Maybe Yunxian can take your pulse?" Xia Yunxian noticed the medicine bowl hanging in the corner and thought for a moment before speaking.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Qingqing's eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and she couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Sister-in-law, don't overestimate your capabilities just to show off yourself. Can you afford it if it delays the old princess's condition?" ?”
The next second, Liu Qingqing clearly saw the old princess glaring at her displeasedly. She quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head, hating Xia Yunxian so much that she gritted her teeth.
"Do you know how to heal? Then help me take a look."
Unexpectedly, the old princess actually smiled and put her hand in front of her. This extremely tolerant look made everyone feel mixed.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. After a moment, Xia Yunxian picked up the half bowl of concoction and took a sip. Then he shook his head and said, "If this medicine is used incorrectly, it will make the old princess' condition worse!"
What? !
"Xia Yunxian, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Chengyu was the first to react and immediately scolded him sternly.
You must know that the old princess has been ill for a long time and has always been treated by the imperial doctor in the palace. She actually said that the medicine was wrong. Is this a slap in the face of the imperial doctor?
Even Princess Pingnan couldn't help but laugh. Not only do they look alike, they even have the same pushy temperament!
Could it be that she thinks she is more powerful than the royal doctor?
"Yunxian, please tell me, what's wrong with this medicine?" The old princess was patient. She felt that she had not misjudged the person. Xia Yunxian did not look like the kind of arrogant person who could talk big words.
Everyone's eyes had already fallen on Xia Yunxian, and there was no hint of panic on her face. After careful consideration, she spoke.
"When the old princess first got sick, she often had twitching all over her body, tremors in her hands and feet, but she could feel it in her lower limbs, and she didn't have any symptoms of crooked eyes or mouth. But recently, her limbs have gradually become stiff, and she has a poor appetite and can't swallow."
"Yes, you are right."
"This is an evil drink, and it can easily be confused with the disease of servant. As the saying goes, the medicine is suitable for the disease, but the imperial doctor made a wrong diagnosis, and the medicine prescribed was not only ineffective, but also aggravated the old princess's condition!"
As soon as Xia Yunxian finished speaking, the old princess opened her eyes in shock and suddenly realized, "No wonder my symptoms have become more and more difficult to control in recent days. My child, can you cure this disease?"
Princess Pingnan saw that she seemed to believe her, and was about to stop her, but then she thought about it.
Wouldn't it be better if Xia Yunxian put the old princess to death?
Although she was Princess Pingnan, she never felt that she was the mistress of the palace because the old princess had to overpower her in everything.
Now everyone can see that it was the old princess who took it upon herself to treat Xia Yunxian. What does it have to do with her being a daughter-in-law who is not favored by her mother-in-law?
"Yunxian, please think clearly. The old princess's illness has been going on for a long time and she can no longer bear the torment!"
Due to the inconvenience, Princess Pingnan pretended to remind her, but still motioned to the maid to bring over pen and paper.
Xia Yunxian didn't hesitate at all, and handed a piece of prescription to the grandmother beside her. "Take it once in the morning and evening for ten days, and the disease will be cured."
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is the medicine curing the disease? What a crazy tone!
Even the imperial doctor would not dare to say such a thing!
