That wet nurse was the wet nurse of Prince Dai when he was a child, so naturally she was different from others.
Chen Tiantian originally wanted to please this person and ask her to take her into the inner hall, but the wet nurse was very arrogant and simply disdained to pay attention to her.
There was no other way, so Chen Tiantian had to come to Yingbao to get close to her.
"No need to report back, I can go by myself."
Yingbao asked Chang Xiu to help carry the medicine box, and she ran into the inner hall with her short legs.
Chen Tiantian also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the eunuchs at the palace gate. In the end, she could only watch Chang Xiu and that damn Jiang Yingbao disappear behind the gauze curtain of the inner hall.
Chen Tiantian stomped her feet and turned back to her residence.
She lived in a maid's room with three palace maids. The room had a large bunk bed, and when they were not on night duty, they slept side by side.
Chen Tiantian had just arrived and was not very familiar with the palace maids here, or rather, the palace maids here were a little repulsive to her and were not very willing to talk to her.
Not only that, the older palace maids also liked to order her around, either asking her to fetch water or to help them wash clothes.
In such hot weather, it takes a long way to go to the kitchen to fetch hot water. If you are not careful, the water in the big kettle may splash out and scald yourself.
"Hey! Take this basket of clothes and wash them."
When a senior maid saw Chen Tiantian, she told her, "Take those two pairs of shoes with you as well. Be careful when washing them so that they don't get stained."
Chen Tiantian didn't dare to disobey, so she had to pick up the clothes basket and go to the lake to wash them.
The East Palace covers a very large area, about half the size of the imperial palace. There are seven or eight large palaces and hundreds of tiled houses within the palace walls.
There is also a large lake in the palace, which is connected to the moat outside the imperial city.
There was a pleasure boat and two small boats parked by the lake.
On one side of the lake are pavilions, towers and winding corridors, and on the other side is a stone dock, where the palace maids and eunuchs did their daily laundry.
Chen Tiantian came to the lake, took off her shoes, and stood barefoot in the clear water to wash clothes.
These palace maids' clothes cannot be beaten with a laundry stick, otherwise they cannot afford the compensation if they are damaged.
I was washing clothes when I suddenly felt someone approaching.
Chen Tiantian subconsciously looked back and saw Xiao Mo and a few others walking towards her leisurely.
In addition to Xiao Mo, Chen Tiantian also recognized another person, Xiao Mo's younger brother Xiao Chengjun.
Xiao Chengjun looked over here while talking to his brother.
The boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was dressed in a light green brocade robe with his hair combed high on his head and locked with a jade hairpin. He had a handsome face and an elegant temperament. He was more than ten times more handsome than the King of Dai.
Chen Tiantian's eyes met his, her face turned red, and she quickly turned around to continue washing clothes.
The group of people came closer and closer, and finally stopped not far behind her.
Chen Tiantian was so nervous that she accidentally dropped her clothes into the water.
She bent down in a hurry to pick it up, but her foot slipped and she almost fell into the lake.
"Who asked you to wash clothes here?" A clear young voice sounded.
Chen Tiantian was shocked, thinking that she shouldn't have come here, and quickly explained: "I I don't know..."
Xiao Chengjun asked again, "Didn't His Majesty ask you to serve in the inner hall? Why are you here to wash clothes?"
Chen Tiantian almost burst into tears when she heard this. She lowered her head and replied, "Yes, my sister in the palace asked me to come."
Xiao Chengjun frowned and said to the girl in front of him, "Come up."
This girl is probably only about ten years old. She is washing clothes here by herself. If she falls into the lake and drowns, no one will know.
Chen Tiantian wrung out her clothes, carried the basket ashore, wiped her feet casually and put on her cloth shoes.
Xiao Chengjun looked at her and said, "Go back. My brother and I will tell the chief secretary to let you stay in the inner hall to serve."
Chen Tiantian bowed to Xiao Chengjun and Xiao Mo, feeling very happy: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Mo glanced at his brother, then looked at Chen Tiantian, and said nothing.
Let’s talk about Yingbao. After taking Murong Xian’s pulse, she began to write the pulse record.
Then a doctor brought a small bottle of medicine and asked King Dai to drink it.
This medicine was prepared by Yingbao yesterday, with a lot of Wudingzhi added to it.
After Murong Xian drank the potion, he felt a warm current flowing from his chest to his whole body, and he felt extremely comfortable.
He had the same feeling yesterday, but he was a little unclear at the time, so it was not as direct and clear as he felt today.
After drinking the medicine, the eunuch brought another bowl of porridge stewed with the best bird's nest.
Murong Xian felt sleepy after drinking the bowl of porridge and fell asleep quickly after lying down.
Yingbao completed her mission and asked Chang Xiu to carry the medicine box and walk out.
He ran into the brothers Xiao Mo and Xiao Chengjun.
"Yingbao, I have something to ask you." Xiao Chengjun called the little baby with a stern face.
Yingbao looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Chengjun was a little weird today, as if he wanted to find out something was wrong with him.
"Who told you that you can't have palace maids in the King's house?" Xiao Chengjun asked.
Yingbao suddenly realized that he came for Chen Tiantian.
So he said half-truthfully: "The gods told me."
"Ridiculous!" Xiao Chengjun: "Where are there any gods in the world?"
"If I say yes, then yes." What can you do
The more Yingbao looked at this boy, the more he felt something was wrong. That bastard's aura was even greater than that of his brother.
Xiao Chengjun frowned even more tightly, and without further ado, he said directly, "The Saint's will is to let Chen Tiantian enter the inner hall to serve. Why are you stopping him?"
"People who have been ill for a long time have heavy yin energy. If they want to recover, they need to balance yin and yang. Women are yin, so naturally they can't enter." Yingbao talked nonsense.
Anyway, it is said in medical classics that women are yin and men are yang. This is correct. It depends on how others understand it.
Xiao Chengjun was a little annoyed: "Aren't you also a woman? Why can you enter the palace?"
"Because I'm a doctor, and I'm still a child, so I have a hot temper." Ying Bao narrowed her eyes and said, "If you insist on letting Chen Tiantian enter the inner hall, that's fine, no one will stop you. However, if anything goes wrong with the King, you will be solely responsible."
Xiao Chengjun suddenly stopped talking, flicked his sleeves and left the hall.
Yingbao looked at his departing back and suddenly seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Where is it
Yingbao looked at Xiao Mo again and asked, "How is my mother?"
Xiao Mo: "Very good, I have told your mother that you will stay in the East Palace temporarily. Your mother told you to focus on treating the King of Dai and not to worry about her."
Yingbao nodded: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for telling me."
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I would like to thank you for not only saving Cheng Jun, but also saving King Dai."
"Oh." Ying Bao looked distant: "Others would give money and effort to thank you for saving their lives, but your Xiao family is different. Not only do I not get a penny of thanks from you, but I also have to work like a slave for you, and then get scolded and blamed."
Xiao Mo touched his nose, "Cheng Jun has a straightforward personality and is easily soft-hearted. He can't stand seeing girls being bullied, so he speaks more bluntly. Please bear with me, little doctor."
Yingbao tilted her head and looked at him: "What if I don't want to take responsibility?"
Now she finally understood that the male protagonist in the book was most likely a young man from the Xiao family.
Or it could be Xiao Chengjun.
But it could also be Xiao Mo, after all, his identity is more suitable than Xiao Chengjun.
He was born into a military family and was very good at leading troops in battle.
Another thing is that he is loyal to the heroine without any regrets.
