Gu Qingxue saw that Rong Xiaotian’s face was glowing, and even his eyes were beaming with joy. She could guess that his condition had greatly improved.
Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, ” Your Majesty, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared the medicine. In a moment, I’ll explain to you how to take the medicine for the next period of time.
Rong Xiaotian immediately smiled and agreed, “Alright, then let’s wait for
Doctor Gu to take care of mother, then follow me to Yangxin Palace Hall.” When the empress dowager heard this, she looked at Rong Xiaotian in a reproachful manner, “Xue ‘er still needs to help me to boil the medicine. Emperor, wait until tomorrow for Xue’er to help you, otherwise Xue ‘er will be too tired today.”
“But we need to prepare for the palace banquet tomorrow, and the palace is busy. Wouldn’t it be more troublesome to let Doctor Gu into the palace?” Rong Xiaotian could not wait to take the medicine as soon as possible, so he naturally did not care if Gu Qingxue was tired or not.
The empress dowager’s heart ached for Gu Qingxue, and she said with a
serious expression, “What’s so difficult about that? Wouldn’t it be fine as long as Xue ‘er attended the palace banquet and present her medicine? It just so happened that we can let Xue’er enter the palace and join in the fun. Xue”er, you haven’t attended a palace banquet before, have you? When the time comes, Yu’er will lead you. You don’t need to be afraid.”
Gu Qingxue nodded lightly. “Since you’ve said so, empress dowager. I’ll do as you say.”
It just so happened that Nine had specially invited her before, and she was still hesitating, but now she could enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Rong Xiaotian had no objections and agreed to the empress dowagers request. He sat for a while longer before finally leaving.
On the other side, Nanny Bi Zhu had also brought wrapped up medicinal ingredients from the imperial academy of medicine.
After Gu Qingxue checked that there was nothing wrong with the medicine, she followed Nanny Bi Zhu to the backyard to brew the medicine.
Gu Qingxue did everything herself and did not allow anyone to interfere. She was afraid that she would do something wrong and affect the medicine’s efficacy.
Nanny Bi Zhu smiled as she watched this scene. She also cooperated with Gu Qingxue and helped brew the medicine.
By the time Gu Qingxue was done with her work, it was already past lunchtime.
Gu Qingxue did not eat in the palace and hurried home.
At home, Nanny Sheng had lunch with Madam Qi and the three little ones.
Nanny Sheng was surprised to hear that Gu Qingxue had not had her lunch yet. Her heart ached for her, and she quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch as quickly as possible.
Gu Qingxue had been famished the entire morning. She sat at the table and started to gobble down her food, her heart aching when she saw the three little ones.
Gu Lin stood on his tiptoes and poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingxue. He placed it in front of her and said with a pained tone, “Mother, eat slowly. Drink some water. Be careful not to choke.
Gu Qingxue felt very comforted. She reached out to touch Gu Lin’s little face. “Alright, mother will eat slowly. It’s already time for you to take a nap. You’re all sleepy, so why don’t you go back to your rooms and rest?”
The three children shook their heads at the same time, rejecting Gu Qingxue.
“That won’t do,” said Dumby with a serious face. “We won’t leave mother behind and go to sleep on our own. Mother, we want to be with you.”
Gu Qingxues heart softened when she saw how obedient and cute her three little ones were. ‘Qin Yun told me yesterday that you guys want to study at home for a while and go to school after the new year. I asked her to invite a few gentlemen to the house today.. How do you feel after seeing them?”
