As for those who may have had other ideas...
Her grandfather has agreed that she should not marry and devote her life to medicine, so how can you force her to do that? In addition, if she is not as worthy as Princess Anguo, can you still tolerate her being out of the house and doing things like "serving others" after she gets married
No one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't show it on his face. Since the Queen Mother had praised him, it was natural for him to say some nice things too.
Then the Queen Mother gave a reward. Although it was not much, the reward itself was not important. What was important was its significance.
Later, the Queen Mother did not keep them for long.
About an hour later, Emperor Xuanren summoned Xiaocao, and she went to the imperial study.
At this moment, only Emperor Xuanren, Wei Tingyu, and the people who were originally serving by his side were left in the imperial study.
Xiaocao's "summary report" was almost finished on the way back. Compared with others, her word choice still tended to be vernacular, and she avoided using words that were not currently available. Therefore, anyone with a certain level of knowledge would probably be able to understand it. Moreover, it was done in great detail, and at least an outsider would probably not be able to find anything to ask about.
So, some people still have questions about Wei Tingyu, but with Xiaocao, there are no problems at all.
Emperor Xuanren only glanced through the previous part roughly. He could imagine some things very clearly. Everything is accumulated bit by bit. Now this part can be said to have made a big step forward from zero. He is not greedy. Now he has left a great experience foundation for the future. If there are any deficiencies, he will further explore and supplement them. Moreover, in his opinion, it is already quite perfect now, but he believes that it will be more perfect in the future. Nothing can be perfect enough to be used for thousands of years. With development, there may be mistakes and omissions, or even elimination. This is all very normal.
Now, Emperor Xuanren is very satisfied. Although, he is actually quite puzzled as to why Xiaocao could achieve this in one step. But then he thought, there have been talented people in certain areas who have made amazing achievements. Emperor Xuanren has implicitly classified Xiaocao as one of these people, but because she is a woman, it is more surprising. Emperor Xuanren accepts it well.
There was no need to ask too many questions. Emperor Xuanren put it aside for the time being and, like the empress dowager, asked about some of the things that happened during his stay in Dongqing.
In fact, Fan Wuguo and others had already reported on their work yesterday, and Emperor Xuanren was basically aware of everything. It was just that everyone had different perspectives, so they would naturally look at things differently. It was understandable that Emperor Xuanren wanted to know Xiaocao's opinions.
As for Xiaocao, she was just narrating what she had seen, mostly about what the many doctors had done. She wanted to fight for more for them. If these people developed well in the early stages, it would also be beneficial to her later on.
Emperor Xuanren was naturally never stingy with rewards for those who had made contributions. He understood Xiaocao's thoughts and thought about increasing the reward by three times. Knowing this, Emperor Xuanren naturally asked about the performance of his two sons.
After the two men came back, Emperor Xuanren did not ask them to report in person, but asked them to go back and write memorials. He did not stipulate how long they should submit them, so they procrastinated for a while, but it was impossible to delay forever. After several days, they "honestly" wrote the memorials and submitted them. Prince Heng thought about it and decided that there were some things he did not dare to hide.
Even so, Emperor Xuanren did not do anything for the time being. He kept the memorial under wraps and did not make any statement. As a result, the two imperial envoys were still worried and could not let go. However, after today's celebration banquet, they knew that it was almost over.
Xiaocao didn't want to complain to anyone, she just said that she was basically busy with the things at hand and had little contact with them, so she didn't know.
Emperor Xuanren smiled, thinking of the way his nephew had complained rudely yesterday. He also knew that Xiaocao was not willing to get involved in these things, so he naturally put it aside and did not plan to mention it again in the future. It was rare for a person to be so focused and keep his original intention. Emperor Xuanren did not want his daughter to be involved in those things.
Emperor Xuanren's gaze fell on Wei Tingyu vaguely. This kid's purpose from beginning to end was very "simple". He can protect Anguo now, but it is only on the surface. There are always things he cannot do. Moreover, he has reached this age after all. He used to be confident that he could live for another 10 to 20 years. But after his last illness, he no longer thinks so.
Wei Tingyu is both capable and resourceful, and she wholeheartedly wants to protect An Guo. Even if An Guo does not interfere in the affairs of the court now, he will still block the way of certain people. No one can guarantee that they will not do something crazy. If she wants to concentrate on doing her own thing, then it is necessary to have someone by her side to protect her from wind and rain and deal with these troubles.
Although I can't completely get out of the wheelchair now, I can definitely squeeze.
—That’s right. Emperor Xuanren admitted it quite frankly. He would certainly protect his daughter, and this “son-in-law” should do a good job for him. He originally wanted him to take over Kaiping Guard. Now he has made contributions, and he is in the Supervisory Office with a third-rank title. It’s just a “horizontal transfer”, so there is nothing to complain about.
Therefore, as the decision had already been made, this time, Wei Tingyu was allowed to exchange his merits directly without any additional rewards. Emperor Xuanren was so wise.
Since it is a celebratory banquet, it is naturally a festive occasion, so the banquet starts relatively early, some drinks are prepared, and singing and dancing follow.
Xiaocao and Wei Tingyu followed Emperor Xuanren.
Xiaocao stood relatively close to Wei Tingyu because she was worried about his legs, so that Wei Tingyu's appearance this time attracted everyone's attention.
Wei Tingyu's appearance was undoubtedly quite good. He was following behind Emperor Xuanren and seemed to be quite close to Princess Anguo. It was difficult for him to pretend to be blind. Almost immediately, he caused quite a stir and asked, "Who is that?"
Wei Tingyu rarely appeared in public before, even at a big banquet, he would not show up, but it was not that no one knew him, especially after he dealt with Wei Jincheng and Aunt Zhou, he showed up more often, so that soon, basically everyone knew him. For a while, many people were speechless.
Once upon a time, Princess Anguo did not have such a respected status. It was said that she was plotted against by the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and pressured by Prince Dun, so she had to agree to a marriage with the disabled and short-lived son of the Pingyang Marquis. Even after she became a princess, many people still talked about this and thought that the marriage would most likely be called off. However, she did not expect that this would be the development now.
It is easy to imagine that the Prince of Pingyang must have been cured by Princess Anguo, so her superb medical skills really benefited people a lot. And the Prince of Pingyang also seemed to have good luck. Otherwise, how could he have the good fortune he has today under such circumstances? Those who had originally plotted against him actually helped him.
Correspondingly, Princess Anguo's luck seems to be good. The marriage at the beginning was so disgusting, but now it seems to be a good match. The son of Pingyang Marquis cleaned up the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and after he recovered, he became a handsome man. In addition, Princess Anguo is like a rebirth to him. After the marriage, even if he does not hold Princess Anguo in the palm of his hand, he will definitely respect her, and her life will not be bad.
Think about it, Princess Anguo was just a little female doctor at the beginning, and no one took her seriously. But today, she has status, wealth, a good husband, connections, etc., and the root of her success is still her medical skills.
There are many people in the world who know medical skills, but she is the only one who can do what she does. It is impossible for others to copy her. After all, who can have medical skills like hers
Therefore, if something is done to the extreme, it will always break some secular rules.
"This is such a good life!" Some women said jealously, glancing at Wei Tingyu vaguely, unable to help blushing and their hearts beating fast.
—So, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, being good-looking is a “sin”. Of course, it’s not just about being good-looking. After all…
"Don't I look good?" Young Master Fan expressed his indignation.
