In the Palace of Taihe, the palace people were waiting on both sides, leading the ministers and women who entered the palace to take their seats.
When they got here, Song Shuwan separated from Pei Huan and went to the women's table. As soon as she sat down, there was someone next to her, it was Yue Hong.
She said with a grateful face: "Yue Hong has met Shi Zifei. Thank you for curing brother You Xing."
Song Shuwan was confused, and there was a bit of hesitation in her tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Yue, did you just say that I cured Prince Xie?"
Yue Hong nodded, her eyes full of gratitude: "Yes, brother You Xing told me personally that it was the Crown Princess who cured him."
Did Xie Youxing say it himself?
Song Shuwan became more and more confused: "Miss Yue, did Prince Xie get the wrong person? I did go to Prince Yong's Mansion, but I didn't treat him..."
Before he finished speaking, the eunuch's sharp announcement came: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived——"
The people who were still chatting together dispersed: "See you, the emperor, see the queen mother!"
"No courtesy, please take a seat."
Everyone stood up, and Song Shuwan sat down with the surrounding female relatives. The corner of her eye fell on Yue Hong, and she wanted to ask about Xie Youxing's situation. However, when the sound of silk and bamboo was heard, the attention of everyone around them fell on the emperor and the queen mother.
Seeing this, Song Shuwan could only suppress the doubts in her heart and prepare to ask again later.
On the other side, Pei Huan sat quietly, listening to the conversations of the ministers. Soon someone mentioned Princess Huayang.
"I have been fighting for years in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now it would be a good thing if Princess Huayang can choose a suitable husband."
"Indeed, it's all thanks to Prince Yong."
The surrounding chatter gradually increased, and soon, envoys from various countries arrived one after another and presented birthday gifts prepared to the Queen Mother of Zhou Dynasty.
"Shou'an presents one box each of pearls, agates, and ten pairs of jades!"
"..."
Song Shuwan held her cheek with one hand, listening to the birthday gifts presented by envoys from various countries, including pearls, agates, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, offerings in front of the Buddha... all kinds of birthday gifts were priceless.
At this moment, an announcement came: "The third princess of Tartar has arrived——"
"Tatar presents a pair of night-glow pearls from the South China Sea, some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, twenty forged horses, and fifty BMWs..."
Song Shuwan's eyes turned slightly and soon locked on the third princess of Tatar.
After a long time, the eunuch who was announcing the birthday stopped and respectfully stepped aside.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction on his face: "Yes, the Tatars are serious this time."
The third princess laughed, her brows and eyes were full of flamboyance: "I, Tatar, give the birthday gift to the Queen Mother of Zhou with all my heart."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand for the three Tatar princesses to take their seats: "I would like to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother with you all."
The sound of silk and bamboo began again, and the dancers came on stage to attract everyone's attention.
Song Shuwan filled her stomach a little, then left the Taihe Palace and found a secluded place to sit.
The night wind blew by, ripples appeared on the water, and the majestic palace imprinted in it was blown away. Song Shuwan bent down and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.
"Go faster, don't let the palace people see you."
"Don't worry, Sir Shen. This place is very secluded and the palace people won't come here easily."
The voices of a man and a woman entered her ears. Song Shuwan pursed her lips unconsciously. After thinking about it, she still didn't go out immediately. There was some grass behind where she was sitting, and it was dim. If she didn't move, she wouldn't be noticed.
Unexpectedly, the man and woman who ran over suddenly hugged each other while they were talking. The woman said delicately: "Mr. Shen, I really can't stand it anymore. Please hurry up and find someone to propose marriage to. If you delay it any longer, I will die."
of."
The man smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already told my father. If nothing happens, I will go to Han Mansion to propose marriage in half a month. You also know that I am the legitimate son of the Shen family. In the face of etiquette, I always have to be decent. .”
"But the child in my belly cannot wait that long, Mr. Shen, he is your flesh and blood."
Shen Lang sighed: "I know it's my flesh and blood, but there are so many rules in the Shen family, and there's nothing I can do about it. Just wait."
The conversation next to them continued, but Song Shuwan's attention was no longer on them, because she saw Princess Jingyang and Princess Huayang coming with people.
Not long after, the man and woman who were getting intimate next to them also discovered Princess Jingyang and Princess Huayang, and left in a hurry.
Song Shuwan stretched herself and decided to look for Pei Huan. Unexpectedly, the next moment, she was surrounded by more than a dozen palace people.
She looked at Princess Jingyang and Princess Huayang and sighed secretly: "What do you two mean by this?"
Princess Huayang stared at her unblinkingly: "Of course I came here to chat with the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess has become much more famous in Beijing recently."
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows slightly: "I don't understand what the princess means. Isn't my reputation always very good?"
Princess Jingyang said: "It's indeed very good, but I don't know if you can cure the diseases of the people around me."
It turned out that he was looking for her to treat people's illnesses.
Song Shuwan's heart relaxed a little: "Who does the princess want my wife to treat?"
"A little beggar."
After a while, Song Shuwan saw the beggar Princess Jingyang said. He was unkempt and his whole body was filled with a stench, but even this stench could not suppress the smell of blood on his body.
Princess Jingyang crossed her arms and said, "This man has a good relationship with me. Everyone in the capital knows that you have strong medical skills. It won't be difficult to save his life, right?"
Song Shuwan was speechless. She put her hand on the little beggar's pulse and told Princess Jingyang after a moment: "My wife needs to check the injuries on her body."
Princess Jingyang's scrutinizing gaze swept across her face and dismissed the palace attendants around her.
In this way, Song Shuwan no longer hesitated and directly tore off the clothes of the little beggar.
Princess Jingyang said in surprise: "Is this little beggar a woman?"
"Um."
Song Shuwan didn't want to say more, so she only responded briefly.
Half an hour later, she took care of the last wound on the little beggar's body: "After that, avoid spicy food and just rest. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will leave."
Princess Jingyang smiled slightly and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty, please come and take the Imperial Concubine back to the Palace of Supreme Harmony."
Song Shuwan was led by the palace maid towards the Taihe Palace. She suddenly stopped midway. No, how could Princess Jingyang seek medical treatment for a little beggar?
She turned around and was about to go back, but was stopped by the palace maid who was leading the way: "Prince Concubine, the princess has ordered the slave to send you back to the Taihe Palace. Please don't embarrass the slave."
"I won't embarrass you."
Song Shuwan whispered four words, and when she got close to the person, the golden needle instantly pierced into the palace maid's body, and then caught her and placed her on the ground.
"It's gone, it's gone..."
At this moment, shouts suddenly came, followed by fire, which illuminated half of the sky in just a few seconds.
Song Shuwan stood there, her heart sinking uncontrollably. Something happened to the little beggar!
