From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 24 Wan'er
"Well, this thing is in good condition, Chen'er, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Inside the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the celadon jar in his hand and smiled at the little girl beside him.

At present, Lin Wan'er has not yet recognized her ancestral roots and is raised by the eldest princess. Her nickname is Chen'er. The eldest princess often takes her for a stroll in the palace. From the empress dowager to the concubines, and even the princes, everyone in the palace is quite caring towards this little sister.

"Brother Crown Prince, Mother said that you have been wronged this time, but don't worry. Mother will find an opportunity to plead with His Majesty and let you escape as soon as possible."

"Chen'er, go back and tell your mother that you shouldn't spread this kind of talk anymore. You're too young. Stay home and read more of 'The Instructions for Women' and learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, the classics passed down from Emperor Wenzong's tomb. By the way, can you understand those classics?"

"Ah?" She didn't know whether she understood those classics, but she couldn't understand what the prince said now.

She had never heard of "Instructions for Women" or the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

But when she heard the Crown Prince asking about her studies, her face immediately straightened, like a little adult, "I've been learning calligraphy from Nanny before, and since last year I've been studying the classics unearthed from Emperor Wenzong's tomb. I just finished reading the Analects of Confucius. I haven't read the books that the Crown Prince mentioned."

"Oh, you've already read the Analects. I never knew our Chen'er was such a little genius," Li Chengqian praised with a smile. "However, books like the Analects are fine to read, but since you're a girl, you should definitely read the Instructions for Women and learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Only then can you marry a good man. Don't be like your mother, always looking for greener pastures and ending up living a lonely life."

These words were too profound for Chen'er's little head to understand. However, the nurse nanny and a maid of about seventeen or eighteen years old who were sitting not far away heard them clearly and had strange expressions on their faces.

There are very few people in this world who dare to speak like this about Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The old nanny's expression was slightly disturbed, but she didn't say anything. However, the maid was displeased and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, it's not gentlemanly to criticize someone behind their back, is it?"

"Oh!" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly. He saw that the woman was tall, with a wasp waist and long legs, slender and powerful fingers, and delicate eyebrows and eyes, revealing a fierce aura.

This is a martial artist, and his strength is no less than that of the fourth rank.

Of course it was nonsense. The eldest princess was of noble status and now held the real power of the inner treasury. She was one of the top few people in Nanqing and even in the whole world. Safety was naturally the top priority. The maids around her all practiced martial arts and were good at it.

Lin Wan'er is the eldest princess's only daughter, so it is common for her to travel with a few female guards who are skilled in martial arts.

But what Li Chengqian didn't expect was that the princess's way of controlling her subordinates, no, it should be said that her personal charm was so great, and she was popular with both men and women. This maid who looked like an ordinary guard was so loyal, and couldn't stand others saying bad things about the princess behind her back, and she dared to confront the prince even in front of him.

"Auntie, aren't you being too indulgent with your servants?" Li Chengqian looked at the nanny and asked, "Is this how you teach your children?"

"Snapped!!"

The nanny took a quick step forward and came in front of the maid. She raised her hand and threw a big bag. Blood splattered and a few white teeth fell to the ground.

"I am young and don't know the rules. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

After slapping her hand, the nanny kicked her on the knee, knocking her to the ground, pressing her head down and making her bow down.

This maidservant had practiced martial arts since she was young and always followed the eldest princess. Although her status was not high, she had the eldest princess protecting her from behind. She usually met important people of status. Due to the presence of the eldest princess, no matter how high the status of the people was, they had to be polite to them. Naturally, she admired the eldest princess and developed a somewhat spoiled personality. When she heard Li Chengqian's tone full of disrespect for the eldest princess, she couldn't help but retort.

But the nanny was an old lady in the palace, so she naturally knew how serious the situation was. The prince in front of her looked amiable on the surface and often laughed with everyone, but deep down he was a narrow-minded and extremely mean person.

A Hanlin scholar, the face of the Qishan Academy, had been disgraced and forced to resign from his position as a tutor simply because he hadn't lived up to his expectations. Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, had painstakingly been thrust into his stead as a tutor, but because he disobeyed the rules, he was not only kicked out but also severely humiliated, becoming a laughing stock in the capital. He was forced to return home in disgrace, his future ruined. Given the status of the two above, Li Chengqian could have easily humiliated them, but what of this maid? In the eyes of these nobles, she was nothing more than a lowly servant. If she contradicted him to his face, she would die without knowing how she'd died.

The maid was forced to kowtow several times. She was completely confused. Although she had martial arts skills, she did not dare to resist the nanny. She was forced to the ground and kowtowed several times. When she lifted herself up again, her forehead was bleeding and her face was covered in blood. She looked very miserable.

This image is so miserable!

"Brother Crown Prince!" Lin Wan'er, who was standing by, felt a tightness in her chest when she saw this scene. Her face turned pale. She raised her head pitifully and looked at Li Chengqian, saying timidly, "Brother Crown Prince, Sister Yucui knows she was wrong. Please forgive her!"

"Oh!" Li Chengqian glanced at the nanny, then looked away, feeling bored. "For aunt's sake, let's stop here today."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The nanny's face showed ecstasy, and she pressed the head of the girl named Yucui down again.

"Alright, alright, stop pressing, that's it." Li Chengqian waved his hands irritably. What's going on? Are you afraid I'll just go crazy and kill someone? I'm a kindhearted person, okay? Why would you kill someone if they contradicted me? What do you think I am? A natural-born killer?
"Chen'er, come with me."

I brought Lin Wan'er into the house. At this time, Lin Wan'er had not recovered yet. Her heart was beating fast, her breath was panting, her face was pale, and her breathing was very disordered.

"Chen'er, stretch out your hand so I can see it." Li Chengqian knew that the heroine of Joy of Life was in poor health. It was said that she had a terminal illness from birth, but she was later cured by Fei Jie and Fan Xian working together.

Can a disease that can be cured be called a terminal illness?
He was puzzled.

"Brother Crown Prince, do you also know medicine?"

Seeing Li Chengqian skillfully placing his hand on her pulse, Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say happily.

"I'm a genius and I know everything." Li Chengqian grinned, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the subtle pulse coming from his fingertips.

After about a moment, he raised his hand, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother Crown Prince, please don't be embarrassed. Mother has consulted many doctors for my illness, but none of them can help. They said that I can only take care of myself. I..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? It's just a disease you were born with, so it's hard to cure." Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "The key to your disease is that it's hard to cure. It's just a weak body due to qi deficiency. But it's not a big deal. As long as you take good care of yourself, get enough nutrition, and take good care of yourself, you'll be no different from an ordinary person. Besides, it's not really incurable."

"Can it really be cured?" Lin Wan'er's eyes lit up, flickering with hope.

Although she is not very old, she has known since she was a child that she is different from ordinary people and has been tortured by illness, although she has gotten used to it over time.

But if it could really be cured...

"Well, your illness requires a master who is proficient in pharmacology to treat it. My current level is not high enough, but I know that we have such a person in Nanqing. He is Fei Jie from the Third Department of the Supervisory Council. He is a famous old poison master. It is not an exaggeration to call him the world's number one poison master. He is a true master in medicine. As long as he takes action, he will definitely help you recover."

"Overseer Council, Fei Jie!" Lin Wan'er nodded, remembering the name firmly.
