“What are you talking about?” The person within the curtain finally recovered from the initial shock, and suddenly withdrew their hand and jumped out of the bed. He opened the curtains wanting to catch the little imperial doctor not far away.
Everyone was frightened by the sudden change. The little doctor saw the hand sticking out of the curtains, took a breath of cold air, then fell back. He crawled behind Xia Yuqing with his hands and feet. Regardless of politeness, he held on to Xia Yuqing as a s.h.i.+eld.
Cui Er on the side wanted to come forward to help, but was stopped by Lu Rui, who looked at Li Yuan on the side with a look.
Cui Er was slightly startled, seeming to understand something, she silently backed away.
“You quack doctor, come over here!” Yan Ran and the little imperial physician circled Xia Yuqing and started playing eagle catching chicks (game where eagle can catch the chick by tagging the chick, and the mother hen can protect the chicks by spreading her arms out). Unfortunately, Xia Yuqing became the one who was protecting the chick…cough, the old hen.
“Gorgeous Tutor, don’t get aggravated! Such strenuous exercise is not good for the child in your stomach!” Xia Yuqing opened her arms to protect the little doctor, while still adding fuel to the fire.
My dear, how long has the Gorgeous Tutor and Yin Gongzi known each other? To… to actually have a child!? Boys love leading to a birth of a child really is awesome, my whole face is flushed! Happiness comes too suddenly, it makes one feel like it’s unreal!
Xia Yuqing couldn’t help but want to scream while thinking like this. At the same time her eyes started to go back and forth between Yan Ran’s belly and Yin Xiang.
Yin Gong Zi, why aren’t you hurrying to take your wife and children back? If the Gorgeous Tutor accidentally uses too much force, you won’t be able to keep your baby!
Yan Ran became angry. Before he could speak, he heard Xia Yuqing add: “Gorgeous Tutor, you lost your voice twice, this time you lost your body!”
It’s fine if Xia Yuqing didn’t mention it, but when she did mention it, Yan Ran was even more mad. You dare to mention this! Lost body… Lost body, your sister! Lost body! Feng Tingye, if your wife doesn’t move, I can’t guarantee that this subordinate will be merciful…
Just when Yan Ran was almost insane enough to deny all his relatives, Yin Xiang’s words seemed to pour cold water on him instantly.
“Xiao Yuan, I see that this Grand Tutor is quite lively, he doesn’t seem to have a long-term sickness at all.”
“…” Yan Ran raised his hand and stopped. He then realized he was pretending to be sick, but because of the little imperial doctor’s words…
“Ah, I… I just got angry. Ahem…” Yan Ran was about to pretend to be dying again. He changed his face to appear gray and seriously ill, but at this moment the little imperial doctor stepped in.
“It turns out that the Grand Tutor is a man, ah, I got the wrong pulse! Grandpa said that the same pulse between a man and woman means different things! For women, the auspicious pulse means she’s pregnant, for men, it means they have too much energy, increased irritability!”
“…” Little doctor, if you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute.
Yin Xiang smiled slightly: “Looking at the lively appearance of the Grand Tutor, he really does seem… energetic and irritable.”
The little doctor did not notice the change in the atmosphere of the room. He could not help nodding: “Yes, yes, Grand Tutor, you have to drink more water these days. Eat more bland food to clear away the heat and detox. Don’t get angry, otherwise…”
“Otherwise?” A few fierce blue veins popped out of Yan Ran’s head as he asked in a vicious manner.
The little imperial doctor shrank his neck back in fright. He secretly hid behind Xia Yuqing and whispered: “Otherwise, it will easily affect that part of your body leading to…”
The little imperial doctor’s skin was still too thin and blushed. His small red face couldn’t say anything.
However, none of the people present were stupid. In that part…plus the little imperial doctor being so shy, it’s impossible…
“Little imperial doctor, you mean… if he doesn’t pay attention, it’s easy for the Gorgeous Tutor to… not work anymore?”
“……” Niang Niang, it’s good for us to know this kind of thing in our hearts, but saying it out loud seems a bit too….did you not see the Grand Tutor go crazy?
“Ahhhh, you little b**tard, come here!” Yan Ran was still mad after all. Regardless of everyone’s presence, he picked up the things on the side and wanted to do something to the little doctor.
“Oh, I came right on time. You evildoer, your place is quite lively!” A joking voice came in, successfully stopping the chaotic scene.
“Xiao Shangshu, why are you here too?” Xia Yuqing heard the voice and turned her head in surprise to look at the young man standing with his back to the door.
The blue veins on Shao Zitong’s head twitched: “How many times do I have to repeat it? Don’t add the Xiao (small) in front of Shangshu. It was fine before, but now that this Gong Zi is tall, does it make sense to add the Xiao character?”
After his statement, Xia Yuqing looked at Shao Zitong with a look of ruthlessness. She unreasonably complained: “The Xiao added on Xiao Shangshu is clearly your nickname, indicating one’s close relations.h.i.+p. You really don’t understand people’s hearts!”
“…” Niang Niang, expressing your goodwill so openly, does the emperor know you are having this illicit affair?
The blue veins on Shao Zitong’s head kept throbbing, but when he saw the person behind Xia Yuqing, he was startled: “Enqing?”
“Huh? Are you… Da Biaoge (older male cousin with different last name)?” Xiao Baomei (female cousin with different last name) Xie Enqing was startled when she heard Shao Zitong’s soft call.
“It’s really you, Enqing, why did you come here? Where is your aunt and uncle?” Shao Zitong didn’t expect to meet any acquaintances here, and immediately forgot his argument with Xia Yuqing.
“Da Biaoge, you are finally back to normal. Father and mother went out to play, so they left me with grandpa.”
Hearing Enqing’s words, Shao Zitong’s eyebrows trembled unconsciously. He was apparently thinking of how all year round, a certain two can be on numerous honeymoons and throw their children everywhere, what unreliable parents… Coughing lightly, he asked: “Then why did you come here?”
“Oh, this. Today, my grandfather was unwell. It happened that the people in the Grand Tutor’s mansion came to our door requesting grandpa to check the Grand Tutor’s condition, so grandpa asked me to come over and give him treatment.”
“Your grandfather asked you to…diagnose and treat him?” Shao Zitong’s expression on his face was obviously distorted.
The two were recounting the past when a voice suddenly interjected: “Um, Xiao Shangshu, do you know each other?”
“Know each other? Yes, this is my Da Biaoge.”
Xia Yuqing tilted her head in suspicion. “Ahhhhh? Xiao Shangshu is your, the little doctor’s, Da Biaoge? No, but isn’t the old doctor your grandfather? How can Xiao Shangshu be your cousin?”
Shao Zitong glanced at Xia Yuqing with disdain, and sneered: ” Nonsense, of course it’s because Enqing’s mother is my aunt and Enqing’s father, is the son of the old doctor, my uncle.”
“It turns out… that’s the case.” Xia Yuqing suddenly realized, seeming to understand something. She looked back and forth between Enqing and Shao Zitong a few times, “Little doctor, can I ask you a question?”
Enqing was stunned. “What’s the question? Please ask.”
“Your mother… is Xiao Shangshu’s aunt like you? Does she often get lost when going out?”
“Yes.” En Qing said as a matter of fact. “My mother will get lost every time she leaves the door, and it is the same in the mansion, so Dad keeps guarding her every day. Even when going out, he never forgets to bring mother, saying that as long as he does not look after mother, she will get lost and be abducted by traffickers.”
“…” If you didn’t meet with us, you might have been abducted by others too! Xia Yuqing glanced at the two sympathetically. It turns out that in this world… having a bad sense of direction is really hereditary!
“Enough, Shao Zitong, is this b**tard from your family?” Yan Ran suddenly let out a low growl as he listened to the conversation of several people, attracting everyone’s eyes to him in an instant.
“Who are you calling a b**tard?” When Shao Zitong heard his only cousin being cursed, his face changed immediately. His hands clasped tightly, making a terrifying crack sound.
Yan Ran who had already turned mad, forgot someone’s frightening rampant side, so he arrogantly said: “It was me, me, so what are you going to do? I’m going to keep on saying it too, you d*mn little b**tard… ow… …”
Before he could say anything more, Yan Ran had been thrown to the ground by someone fiercely… over the shoulder.
“Oh my G.o.d! Xiao Shangshu is so awesome, that was a modern trick!” Xia Yuqing was attracted by Shao Zitong’s fighting moves and spoke enthusiastically.
“D*mn, Shao Zitong, you sneak attacked me?!” Yan Ran was overwhelmed by Shao Zitong on the ground, unable to move. He could only do his best with his mouth!
“There can never be too much deception in war, moreover, even if we fight openly, you can’t beat me.”
“You…”
Li Yuan, who had been watching from the side, listened to the increasingly fierce quarrel between the two. She sneered and turned away.
Yin Xiang took a deep look at Yan Ran who was pressed on the ground, and followed Li Yuan.
“Pressed down, pressed down, pressed down…” Xia Yuqing stood on the side and looked at the positions of the two men. Her moralless brain couldn’t stop drawing up a picture in her mind.
It’s a pity that she hadn’t finished conceiving her beautiful picture when she heard the servant who was guarding Yan Ran’s bed shouting: “Young Master, Young Lady Li Yuan left!”
“What?” Yan Ran froze. He got up suddenly and almost lifted Shao Zitong up who was pressing down on him.
“Cr*p, you evildoer, why are you so strong? How are you an ill patient at all? I bet you were just pretending to be sick to grab people’s attention.”
“…” Yan Ran was silent for a moment looking at the room that someone had left. Then, he started to grind his teeth.
“Isn’t it your family’s little b**tard that did this great job.” Yan Ran said this as he was about to pounce on Enqing behind Shao Zitong, but was held back by everyone who had been prepared.
After hearing Yan Ran’s cursing, Shao Zitong was taken aback. He turned his head to look at Xie Enqing and said: “Enqing, what have you done? How did you trigger this evildoer?”
Xie Enqing was obviously frightened by Yan Ran’s vicious appearance. She said timidly: “It’s nothing…it’s nothing, I just accidentally treated Grand Tutor as a woman, and diagnosed him… as having an auspicious pulse.”
“Just?! I’m a man and you diagnosed me with an auspicious pulse…. Have you ever seen a man give birth to a child? Ah…” With that said, Yan Ran became more and more frantic, he was fiercely scratching towards Xie Enqing.
Shao Zitong was stunned. He snorted, and couldn’t help laughing loudly: “Hahaha, so it’s like that. Enqing, you are too powerful, you actually…you actually… but you can’t blame Enqing for this.”
“Can’t blame her? Then who should we blame? You d.a.m.n quack doctor, quack doctor!” Yan Ran stared at Shao Zitong angrily, seeming to believe that Shao Zitong was sheltering the little imperial doctor. The people nearby also raised their ears, expectant of Shao Zitong’s response.
Shao Zitong lightly coughed. He tried to hold back his smile, “Don’t call her a quack doctor. Enqing is quite famous in the medical world. If you call her a quack doctor, how can Enqing continue to be in the medical world?”
“…” Famous in the medical world? Xia Yuqing and the others opened their eyes wide. They looked at this little imperial doctor who could diagnose a man with an auspicious pulse in disbelief.
Yan Ran was much more straightforward. He sneered, and said unceremoniously: “With their skills and they are still famous in the medical world? Are the eyes of the common people blind? What kind of eyes did they use to look at her? Letting this quack doctor diagnose and treat people, aren’t you scared they’ll die?”
As soon as Yan Ran finished speaking, everyone saw Shao Zitong’s mouth twitch. He muttered: “Cause someone to die? At most, it will be a few lives of some animals.”
“…Xiao Shangshu, how is this related to animals?” Xia Yuqing asked confusedly.
“Don’t you know? Enqing is actually a… veterinarian!” Shao Zitong twisted his eyebrows and said solemnly.
“!”
“…” Deathly silence spread throughout the room.
After a long while, everyone heard a thump. After coming back from their daze, there was a long scream: “Master! Master fainted! Come, someone, come! Call the doctor, quickly call the doctor.”
“Doctor? Aren’t I the doctor?” Xie Enqing heard the yells of the crowd, and pointed at herself in a daze.
“…” In an instant, the movements of everyone in the room stopped, the expressions on each face were unpleasant.
Xia Yuqing looked at Xie Enqing with a cute face, secretly roasting, you are a doctor, but you are a veterinarian who treats animals! Being so enthusiastic about treating the Gorgeous Tutor, are you treating him as a beast? !
Thinking like this, Xia Yuqing suddenly sympathized with Yan Ran who fell to the ground, and…
Xia Yuqing’s gaze unconsciously turned to Shao Zitong, Xiao Shangshu, who was full of gleeful smiles on the side. In fact, you did it on purpose! At this time, stabbing your brother twice in the back, should I sigh that you are truly friends with the Ultra Seme Lord? !
Seeing that the servants of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion were in chaos and shouting eagerly, Yan Ran finally regained some sense after a period of turmoil. Who knew that when he was about to wake up, his breath was snuffed out by Xia Yuqing’s whispered question.
“Little doctor, are you sure you did the right diagnosis and treatment just now? Looking at the Gorgeous Tutor, this looks a bit like… he is pregnant! Or, how about you check him again, maybe he is indeed pregnant. A man being pregnant is not a trivial matter, it’s best to find out early!”
“…” With a thud, Yan Ran fell to the ground again, and everyone on the side was petrified in place.
Niang Niang, please don’t make trouble at this time. Hitting a person while they’re down can easily lead to someone’s death!
After watching a good show, Xia Yuqing was content to take her group of people back to the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the gate of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, she heard a m.u.f.fled noise behind her.
Everyone was taken aback. They hurriedly turned their heads to look around, and saw that a person behind them staggered and fell face down. After a while, the person groaned softly: “Oh, it hurts.”
“…” Why did it take you so long before you felt the pain? How dull are your pain nerves?
Rubbing her aching wrist, Xie Enqing raised her head as if she was aware of the stunned eyes of the crowd. She smiled with embarra.s.sment: “I accidentally fell.”
“…” Xia Yuqing looked around blankly. The road was as flat as an airport road, how did you make such a big movement to fall face down? Do you have flat feet? !
Shao Zitong seemed to have become accustomed to it. He stretched out his hand to Xie Enqing, and complained helplessly: “You are so old now, why has your characteristic of falling down not change at all?”
Xie Enqing lifted her lovely Baozi face and said innocently: “I’m used to it.”
“…” Hey, don’t get used to this kind of thing!
Xia Yuqing’s eyes were bright as she looked at the two people who were close to each other not far away. The villain suddenly burst out a long scream in her mind, ahhhh! Childhood sweethearts, cousins, why are they so cute? What is going on with this sudden happiness? This kind of elder brother being accommodating, doting… sincere love, why didn’t I find out about this earlier? Sure enough, an easy life makes me slack off! No, I can’t degenerate like this anymore. As the saying goes, the heavens will cause people to suffer to firm one’s character. I will work hard, but I… ah, so cute, this affair, how can I ignore it! And…
“Ah, it’s so cute, it’s so natural, he;’s really a natural fool. It’s not Xiao Shangshu’s cute appearance, but the bean paste stuffing in the heart. This is really exciting and cute! Finally… …Finally this sister has caught a natural cute fool!”
Before Shao Zitong had time to say a few words to Xie Enqing, he was pushed aside by Xia Yuqing, who rushed over like a cannonball.
Xie Enqing only felt a dark shadow in front of her, and in the next second, she had a small animal buried in her arms, constantly rubbing against her.
“!” Niang Niang, you can’t go into the arms of other men. If the emperor found out that you ran into another man’s arms in the street, he would be furious! Niang Niang, come back, Nu Bi can’t bear it!
A group of girls looked at Xia Yuqing with fear and trembled as she hugged the young man. After a long while, she looked up with a look of intoxication and said: “Xiao Shangshu, your Xiao Biaodi is so soft, can you lend him to my palace for a few days to play?”
“…play?” Shao Zitong twitched, looking at Xie Enqing. With an ignorant expression, his eyes flickered slightly, “This minister can’t make the decision. Enqing is now under Enqing’s grandfather’s care. As long as the old doctor and Enqing are willing, this minister has nothing to say.”
“The old doctor is not a problem, as for the little doctor… little doctor, you are willing, right?”
“I…” Xie Enqing was a little embarra.s.sed to refuse, but was interrupted by Xia Yuqing.
“Little doctor, there are many delicious foods in my palace that are not available outside.”
“…”
“There are countless gold and silver jewels in my palace, silk too.”
“…” Is this a bribe?
“Ben Gong within the harem, with the exception of the empress dowager, has the most power. Glory and riches can be given, one can also demote another three levels. The old and small doctors are both in the palace, so…”
“…” Is this a threat?
Xia Yuqing saw that she had been talking for a long time, yet Xie Enqing still looked dazed and unmoved. Her eyes rolled around, seeming to think of something, her eyes shone: “Ben Gong also has a cute purebred white-haired puppy.”
“…” Xie Enqing nodded as always, then seemed to have discovered something, exclaiming: “Huh?”
Seeing that the little white rabbit finally had a reaction, Xia Yuqing continued her efforts: “My Xiao Bai is dressed in white fur, fluffy like a ball, he’s super cute! If you are willing to stay in Ben Gong’s palace for a few days, Ben Gong will let you raise it for a few days?”
Xie Enqing’s eyes suddenly lit up, his head nodded furiously: “Okay, I’ll go!”
“…” Master Xie, only a little dog bought you over, where’s your morals? If the old doctor knew that he was no better than a little animal in your heart, he would definitely cry! And, Niang Niang, is it really okay for you to take a man into the main palace like this? The emperor will be mad when he knows about it, he will definitely be mad!
Shao Zitong looked at their family’s cute creature’s innocent expression and could not help but draw his mouth into a straight line: “Fine, since Enqing is willing, this minister has nothing to say. Enqing is innocent, so Chen hopes Niang Niang can take care of them.”
“No problem, no problem. Don’t worry about it Xiao Shangshu, I will definitely take good care of the little doctor!”
“…” It is because you are there that I feel even more worried! With you, Enqing will be ruined sooner or later! Shao Zitong rolled his eyes helplessly, coughed and said, “There is one more thing.”
“Huh? What’s the matter? If Xiao Shangshu has something to say, you can tell it to me straight.” Xia Yuqing hugged Enqing and did not want to let go, so she raised her head and asked.
“Niang Niang, Enqing is not the minister’s Biaodi (male cousin), but the minister’s Biaomei (female cousin).”
“!” Everyone was shocked when he said this. Xia Yuqing was even more shocked, turning her head and looked at Xie Enqing with an innocent look of disbelief.
“Huh, don’t you guys know?” Xie Enqing scratched her bun face with surprise.
“…” If you don’t tell us, how would we know?!
From Xie Enqing’s words, Xia Yuqing only felt black and dizzy. Fortunately, she had a soft embrace to lean on when she was heartbroken. Wait… soft?
Xia Yuqing froze and looked up, facing Xie En’s blus.h.i.+ng bun face: “Niang Niang, your hug is too tight, I…I feel a little uncomfortable.”
“…” With a click, Xia Yuqing suddenly had her sweet dreams of a brother’s romance that she had finally woven together shatter in an instant. Oooooo, my heart hurts, let me cry for a while!
The innocent Xie Enqing saw that Xia Yuqing had suffered a big blow after listening to her words. With tears in her eyes, Xia Yuqing squatted to the side and started to draw circles, so she couldn’t help but panic: “Hey, Niang Niang what’s wrong? I… didn’t mean that. If you want to hug me, you can continue to hug, I’m fine!”
If Xie Enqing didn’t say anything, Xia Yuqing would have been fine, but now she wanted to cry even more. What an innocent silly thing for her to say! What an ignorant cute thing! Why was she not a cute Uke? This doesn’t make sense!
Xia Yuqing looked at Xie Enqing sadly: “It’s okay, it’s not your fault, I just suddenly felt…”
“?”
“The Great Transmigration G.o.d always sends me to heaven and then pushes me into h*ll. They’re too immoral. I’m going to break soon from them playing with me! Uuuuu…”
“…” Shao Zitong looked at the resentment billowing behind Xia Yuqing from a distance, and couldn’t help rolling his eyes again. He knew it would become like this in the end!
After finally tidying up the broken pieces of her gla.s.s heart, Xia Yuqing returned to the palace with a group of people. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the gate of Xiefang palace, she met someone who shouldn’t have been there.
“Hurry up, go to the side hall!” Xia Yuqing saw the face of the person opposite and acted as if she was facing a big enemy. Then she turned around running like she saw a ghost, but the person at the door turned at that moment and saw them.
“Little Royal Sister!” Xia Muyun exclaimed in surprise and stopped Xia Yuqing’s advancement.
Xia Yuqing became stiff. She turned her head and smiled, waved her hand and said: “Hi, Third Royal Sister, how are you doing?”
“Not good!” Xia Muyun heard Xia Yuqing’s question and the usual queen-like att.i.tude disappeared without a trace, tears appeared in her eyes immediately. Then before Xia Yuqing could react, she flew towards Xia Yuqing: “Uuuuu… I seem to be in trouble!”
“……”
