The Noble Consort lowered her head and ladled soup, also smiling, "A tranquil heart is naturally cool. Here, there are no cumbersome matters. If the Emperor is in a good mood, he won't feel so hot."

。After saying that, she again ordered a palace maid to summon the Second Prince. 。After a while, the second prince in azure robes walked in. 。A boy of eight or nine years old, according to reason, should be at the age of mischief, but the second prince had a pale face, a thin frame, and even walked with shortness of breath, showing that he was not strong. 。Just as he was about to bow, the Emperor lifted him up, "Son, no need for formalities. Come, sit down and have your meal." 。The second prince smiled quietly, sat beside the emperor, and took a bowl of soup. 。The Emperor asked the second prince a few questions in a low voice, inquiring about what he had learned today and such. The second prince answered seriously and respectfully, showing filial piety to his father, making the scene very harmonious. 。The Consort was smiling as she served the father and son their meals. 。After a meal, night had deepened. 。The second prince returned to his side hall to rest, and the emperor and the noble consort also needed to rest. 。Lying in bed, the emperor looked around and smiled softly, "My beloved, here is where I feel most at ease. As long as I am by your side, there are no worries." 。"The noble concubine smoothed her long hair and, with a smile, lay down beside the emperor. "Then the emperor should come over more often; your servant and the second prince are both looking forward to you every day." 。The Emperor leaned in to embrace her, just about to say something, then as if remembering something suddenly, he shouted loudly to the outside, "Yi, the steward!" 。"Take someone to Zhi Lan Palace, the third princess was frightened just now, be careful she doesn't sleep well at night" 。Let's see who's on duty at the Taiyi Hospital and be ready to summon them anytime. 。"Yes, Your Majesty" 。"Yi Zongguan responded, and immediately ordered people to get busy." 。The Noble Consort reached out and gently stroked the Emperor's chest, whispering softly in his ear. 。"The Emperor is truly a good father, taking such meticulous care of his children." 。The third princess, who used to have quite a fiery temper, has really matured. 。"Those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black." 。The previous three princesses' companions were not good, blindly following her every whim. The empress was also quite negligent and rarely put effort into teaching them. 。Over the past two years, with Jia Yin by her side, always persuading and advising her, the Third Princess has become much wiser. 。Not only does she not anger me, but she often makes snacks and needlework to show her filial piety. I am truly pleased. 。" A woman changes a lot after she turns 18, and princesses grow up and become sensible too. " 。After marriage, as a daughter-in-law and mother, I will definitely become a better person. 。The noble consort's voice was even softer, causing the emperor to sigh contentedly. Just as he was about to fall asleep, suddenly Yi, the chief eunuch, reported outside, "Your Majesty, the third princess had a nightmare and is crying incessantly." 。"The imperial physician has already been summoned!"

"What?" The Emperor immediately sat up, frowned and said, "I knew this child wouldn't sleep well tonight. She appears brave, but she's actually more timid than anyone else." 。Then, he lifted the bed curtain, "I'm not at ease. I'll go take a look." 。"Yi Zongguan hurried into the room and helped the emperor put on his clothes. 。The Noble Consort seemed to feel sorry for the Emperor and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess is already grown up. I estimate that after drinking a bowl of calming soup, she will fall asleep." 。On the contrary, if you were to go there, it would be a hassle to get up and bow. 。Why don't you stay? I'll go and have a look for you. 。"

The Emperor, however, refused and replied, "I shall go myself. I have few children to begin with, and several have been lost over time. Now I only have the third princess and the second prince. They are precious to me and I cannot bear any harm coming to them." 。"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is my fault. I have not done enough to give you many heirs." 。The Noble Consort appeared a little downcast, but was comforted by the Emperor's hand on hers. 。"My beloved consort, do not overthink things. The fact that you gave birth to the second prince and cared for him so well already makes me extremely happy." 。"You should get some rest early. I'll go back to the imperial study after finishing with the third princess. I won't disturb you again." 。"I'll come have lunch with you again tomorrow at noon!" He said, then hugged the贵妃 and led Yi Tongguan away. 。The Noble Consort followed to the doorway, leaning against the frame and watching the departing procession. For a long time, she didn't enter the room... Inside Zhilan Palace, eunuchs and maids bustled about, busy as ever. 。The water bearers, lamp holders, and tea servers, everyone's face showed a hint of panic. 。For inside the main hall, lanterns blazed brightly, and from time to time a woman's low sobs could be heard. 。The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, accompanied by two imperial physicians, stood respectfully outside the door. 。Seeing the emperor arrive with Manager Yi, everyone was taken aback. 。After all, there are quite a few gossips in the palace. It is said that the third princess has fallen out of favor, and the emperor doesn't even pay attention to her as his daughter anymore. 。As dusk fell, the Third Princess returned to the palace. Her carriage was stopped by the guards at the gate, who humiliated her wantonly. 。Unexpectedly, it was just a nightmare, but the Emperor actually came in person. 。Those who had previously looked down on others now felt a twinge of guilt and hurriedly busied themselves with tasks, afraid of being caught and punished. 。The emperor walked to the door and first asked the head physician of the Imperial Hospital, “How is it, have you treated the princess?”The head physician hurriedly bowed and replied, “Replying to Your Majesty, we haven’t treated the princess yet” 。。The emperor nodded, motioning for Yi the steward to enter the room and inquire. 。Soon, Jia Yin walked out and said with a bow, "Uncle Emperor, the princess is very frightened. Perhaps it's best to have fewer people enter the room." 。“Very well,” the Emperor hastily replied, “Liu Yuansi, please follow me inside. Everyone else, step back.” 。The head of the hospital bowed his head, personally carried the medicine box, and followed the emperor across the threshold. 。The rest quickly retreated down the steps, Yi Tongguan personally guarded the door, ready to answer any summons from inside. 。Inside the house, the Third Princess sat on a soft bed, her face full of bewilderment. 。 Shui Ling stood beside her, pulling out a handkerchief and pretending to be wronged and heartbroken, only the handkerchief wasn't even damp... Seeing the emperor enter, the third princess directly ran over, hugged his arm, and whispered, "Father Emperor, what's going on? Yi Butler came to pass a message, I don't understand, but Jia Yin said doing this is right..."The emperor patted his daughter's shoulder and comforted, "Don't be afraid, father emperor has some things that are inconvenient to do in front of outsiders. I need the tranquility here to handle it." 。At this time, Jia Yin also stepped forward and pulled the Third Princess, persuading her, "Don't disturb Your Imperial Uncle, he must have his reasons for doing this." 。Indeed, the Emperor laughed, “As expected, Jia Yin is clever. I had Yi Tong to deliver the message, and I guessed you would understand.” 。“

Yi Zongguan, standing beside him, also smiled and said, “This old servant was worried too, but I didn't expect that the princess and the county master did a great job. Not only did they act convincingly, but even the imperial physician was called over>>>"

。The emperor nodded, lifted his dragon robe and sat on the soft couch, then looked at Liu Yuan, who was bowing at the doorway. 。Liu Yuan was the new director last year. The previous director was too old and requested to return home. 。This past year, both inside and outside the palace has been quiet. He's found being the head of this courtyard quite easygoing, and for that, he's quite pleased. 。To my surprise, tragedy strikes. Today, it seems fate has me falling into a whirlpool. 。The Emperor wouldn't let outsiders know, and at midnight, he summoned him under the pretense of the third princess. It couldn't be a small matter no matter how you think about it. 。 As expected, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "Liu Yuansi, I remember you've been at the Imperial Hospital for over ten years, haven't you? You're especially skilled at treating difficult and complex illnesses?" 。"Minister Liu knelt directly down, trembling with fear and saying, 'I have received the Imperial Grace for over ten years, and I have always felt guilty that I have not been able to repay it.'" 。Wherever the Emperor needs the service of an old minister, just give the order. 。The old minister will definitely do his best, absolutely no hesitation. 。“ The Emperor nodded and said, “Come here, feel my pulse! See if there’s something wrong with my body.” 。"

Liu Yuan's head trembled, and he instinctively shrank his neck. 。Today I'm uploading two chapters~~~
