Chapter 557: Introduction 1. This is my princess, Shu He!
As soon as the words were spoken, the panic on Concubine De's face suddenly turned into surprise and confusion.
Even Emperor Qiwen was stunned for a moment, "Concubine Qing, what did you say?"
Concubine Qing smiled and took two steps forward, a hint of pique in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I was talking about Ran'er! Isn't today Ran'er's fifteenth birthday? You even said you would prepare a gift for Ran'er!"
Seeing Emperor Qiwen's stunned expression, Concubine Qing's face showed a bit of disappointment, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"
Baili Moqing supported Concubine Qing's shoulders and said softly, "Aunt Zhen, why don't you go and rest for a while? You're not feeling well yet, so you can't stand for long!"
At this time, Xiaolian came over at Baili Moqing's signal, supported Concubine Qing, and sat next to Concubine De.
That was originally the seat of Concubine Ming, but for some reason, Concubine Ming never came, so Liu Qin arranged for Concubine Qing to sit in that seat.
When Concubine Qing saw Concubine De, she bowed politely and said, "Sister Defei, it's been a long time since we last met. How come you've aged so much?"
Defei's face turned pale and blue, and she was so angry that she almost fainted after hearing her words "you've aged so much"!
"Hey, I saw Sister Mingfei yesterday. She was in pretty good shape, still looking so young. I don't know how she maintains such good looks."
Defei's eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be something dangerous in her eyes, wanting to break through the cage and tear the person in front of her to pieces!
Concubine Qing pretended not to hear this and just looked at the desserts and fruits on the table with curiosity, a look of disappointment on her face.
"It's still these things, nothing new. When I, Ran'er, conquer Yunlai, I will definitely try their special fruits and vegetables. They are said to be very sweet!"
The hall was extremely quiet. The musicians and maids who had performed earlier had all left, and almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Concubine Qing.
At this point, needless to say, everyone could see that there was something wrong with Concubine Qing.
Emperor Qiwen also noticed something was wrong and walked up to Baili Moqing and asked quietly, "Seventh Brother, what's going on?"
Baili Moqing's gaze swept over Concubine Qing. "Father, I told you before that I found a famous doctor among the people. I later asked your permission to bring him into the palace to see Aunt Zhen. Your Majesty should still remember this, right?"
Emperor Qiwen certainly remembered this incident, but he didn't hold out much hope at the time. After all, all the imperial doctors said that Concubine Qing could not be cured, and he naturally didn't believe that there was any famous doctor who could help Concubine Qing recover normally.
But unexpectedly, that famous doctor was actually useful!
"That famous doctor saw Aunt Zhen once, prescribed her medicine, and performed acupuncture. She was supposed to return to the palace for a follow-up visit, but she offended a powerful official and lost her life, so Aunt Zhen's treatment was delayed."
"When Ah He returned to the capital, I immediately brought her to the palace to see Aunt Zhen. Although she is knowledgeable in medicine, she is ultimately not as good as that famous doctor. In the end, she could only restore Aunt Zhen to her current state..."
It turned out that it was Shu He who cured him.
Emperor Qiwen was filled with mixed emotions, and his voice grew deeper and deeper, as if a mountain was pressing down on him. "What is she doing..."
"Aunt Zhen has lost nearly ten years of her memory. She still thinks she's living in the past..."
Emperor Qiwen's expression changed slightly, and for a moment, he actually felt fortunate!
Also.
Some things are best if she doesn't remember them!
He spoke silently, "From now on, we'll just say that the Second Prince has gone to the border to command the battle..."
Emperor Qiwen said this, a sentence that even surprised himself.
By the time he realized it, the words had already been spoken.
He quickly composed himself, as if afraid that others would discover his guilt and shame.
He said to Shu He, "Seventh Old Wife, you cured the long-ill Concubine Qing, which is a great achievement. Do you want any reward?"
"If there is, just tell me, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Seeing this, Shu He's eyes turned slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Your Majesty, I do have a favor to ask!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
Shu He glanced at Baili Moqing, then said, "When I was in Beisha City, the emperor once rewarded me with a house..."
"Now, my grandfather and his family have returned to the capital, and they don't have a place to stay for the time being, so I would like to ask the emperor to allow my grandfather and his family to live in the imperial residence."
She still hasn't received the key and transfer documents for the courtyard that the emperor had rewarded her with!
"Liu Kun and his family have returned to the capital?" Emperor Qiwen looked slightly surprised. Then a smile immediately crossed his face. "I was inconsiderate. If I had known General Liu was coming back, I should have asked the Seventh Prince to invite General Liu to the banquet today!"
Shu He said, "Grandfather is in serious condition and is not fit to attend such a grand event right now. I would like to thank the Emperor for giving him time to rest."
Emperor Qiwen nodded, but his face was filled with dissatisfaction. "Shu He, you are about to become the consort of Prince Li. The word 'villain' no longer suits you. Change your words in the future!"
"As for what you requested, I have agreed to it. Not only that, I will also buy you and the Liu family a large house so that you and your family can live more comfortably!"
Shu He's heart moved slightly, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.
After this incident, Emperor Qiwen discovered that Zheng Zihe's eyes were always staring at Shu He, and his face immediately turned cold.
"Seventh Brother, Zihe just said that the wife of Duke Zheng is ill. Your wife can even cure Concubine Qing. I think she is a very skilled doctor. Why don't you take a look at the wife of Duke Zheng as well?"
So that the old woman wouldn’t have to play the victim anymore!
Baili Moqing agreed and was about to speak when he heard Emperor Qiwen say, "By the way, let's first introduce Shu He to all the gentlemen and nobles in the capital! I see that many people still don't recognize her!"
After hearing this, Baili Moqing's face became slightly solemn.
If the emperor didn't say it, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to do it.
He walked to Shu He and held her hand.
The two looked at each other, as if silent and sweet love was overflowing, which made people couldn't help but smile.
His eyes were as deep as the sea and as gentle as water, making her unconsciously fall into them and sink.
He seemed to be performing some solemn and rigorous ceremony, slowly bringing Shu He in front of all the officials.
"My Lords, let me introduce you. This is my princess, Shu He!"
