Chapter 74: Chapter 75 Going to the Birthday Celebration
“Your dical skills are so impressive, you couldn’t possibly have studied with soone from the Imperial dical Bureau, could you?” Shao He asked out of curiosity.
“Miss Shao is really intelligent, you’re right, my master is none other than Imperial Doctor Yun.”
Yun Qian had no intention of hiding this fact, although he didn’t ntion that Imperial Doctor Yun had been murdered.
Shao He had wanted to ask why he didn’t stay at the Imperial dical Bureau, but just then, Nanny Zhang ca over with a parcel and interrupted her.
Shao He had no choice but to swallow her words, leave with Nanny Zhang, and return to the mansion. She called Qingxia to help her get acquainted with the estate, and she was especially ticulous in instructing her on the care of the children, fearing any negligence.
“Miss, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the young master and won’t allow any mistakes,” Nanny Zhang said with a smile all over her face.
...
Shao He was initially sowhat worried, but after seeing that Xiao Linzhang was well cared for, she completely set her mind at ease.
A few days passed in a flash, and today was Princess Huimin’s birthday. Jhiang Yijia specifically ca to pick up Shao He to go together.
On the carriage, Jhiang Yijia explained to her, “Princess Huimin doesn’t normally see visitors because of her face, but she’s hosting a birthday banquet because Xu Han has reached the age suitable for marriage.”
“Is Princess Huimin’s face very serious?”
Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yijia’s expression slightly changed, “You mustn’t speak of this later, the more prestigious the person, the worse their temper. Just follow my lead when the ti cos.”
“Okay, understood, thank you,” Shao He, who was not one to speak out of turn, naturally understood his hint.
“Have you prepared the dicine? Are you really confident in curing Princess Huimin’s illness?” Jhiang Yijia asked again, worried.
Princess Huimin had always taken her facial condition very seriously. ntioning it was not permitted by others, and if she couldn’t cure it, she might be punished because of it.
Shao He understood his concerns and nodded with a smile, “The dicine is all prepared, there won’t be any mistakes.”
Jhiang Yijia finally felt relieved and then thought about the birthday event where Chu Yu would surely be present. He hesitated and then said, “Many officials and nobles will be at the birthday event, you should brace yourself.”
“I know, it’s definitely Chu Yu going on behalf of the Marquis’s Mansion, and Chu Yu will surely bring Luo Jiner,” Shao He stated calmly.
After all, this wasn’t the first ti encountering them; when trouble cos, one must face it.
Thinking she might have so reservations, Jhiang Yijia saw her deanor and smiled, “When the ti cos, enter with as my friend, and after the banquet, we can go et Princess Huimin privately to treat her.”
“Okay.”
Shao He took out the prepared rouge and began to apply it to her face. She had specifically altered her makeup so that people not very familiar with her couldn’t recognize her at all.
Jhiang Yijia watched her, amazed to the point that his jaw dropped, “I never thought Doctor Shao was not only skilled in dicine but also so good at applying makeup. However, this makeup makes you look even more fresh and elegant.”
He had never seen such an attractive makeup, especially one applied so quickly.
Shao He pushed his chin up and said softly, “It’s just to avoid unnecessary trouble, let’s go.”
“Wait here for a mont, I’ll go pick up my mother, and then we can enter together.”
Shao He nodded, the cold breeze gently blowing, and the front of the mansion was decorated with red fine silk fabrics and two red lanterns, making it look exceptionally festive.
anwhile, Chu Yu looked at the ointnt in Luo Jiner’s hands and shook his head helplessly.
“What do you an by this, Marquis? This is the Spiritual dicine I specifically asked for from the abbot at Cien Temple, hoping it could heal Princess Huimin’s facial injuries,” Luo Jiner said joyfully.
If she could cure Princess Huimin’s illness, wouldn’t she gain a powerful patron? At that ti, who would dare to look down on her? Even the Old Madam of the Marquis’s Mansion would have to give her so respect!
Chu Yu’s eyes flickered because he knew the Spiritual dicine was useless. Princess Huimin’s facial condition was such that even the Imperial Physicians were at a loss, and despite nurous highly skilled doctors being invited to try, all had ended in failure.
But seeing her joyous expression, he ultimately didn’t have the heart to tell her, for she ant well after all.
“Just put it away for now.”
“Okay.”
Luo Jiner carefully put away the dicine bottle, wrapped her arms around Chu Yu’s waist, and leaned against his chest, saying, “Marquis, it’s my first ti at such a gathering and I don’t know anyone. What should I do if a maid or another young lady picks on ?”
“That won’t happen, with this Marquis here, no one will bully you,” Chu Yu gently patted the back of her hand, his tone gentle.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiner’s smile blossod, and she coquettishly glared at him saying, “You promised, Marquis!”
“Don’t worry,” Chu Yu indulgently touched her forehead’s fine bangs, his eyes deep.
“But I am still a bit scared, can you stay with the whole ti?” Luo Jiner pouted, looking up at him with her big watery eyes, a slight plea evident.
