Moreover, after these strange meridians were opened, it felt like a warm current was flowing slowly through the body. The hands and feet that could never be warmed up also began to warm up. The face was not so pale anymore, but had a hint of redness.

I don't know whether I can become a peerless master, but if my meridians are opened up, I can strengthen my body and no longer be in a half-dead state, then I can be considered lucky.

I tidied myself up carefully.

I wore a brand new red robe and a pair of red soft cloud boots. For the first time ever, I asked Yingchun to do a shiny comb on my hair and put a jade hairpin that I found at the bottom of a box in my hair. It looked more festive than the Chinese New Year.

Yiping also dressed up from head to toe, and rarely applied some red wax on her lips, making her look rosy and fresh.

Zhao Jinping did not come back.

He felt that Yiping's recognition of other people as his parents was like a betrayal of the Zhao family. He never quite agreed with this recognition of relatives, but he could not stop our decision, so he had to protest with silence.

Zheng Xian prepared two carriages for us, one for Yiping and me, and the other for the gifts. After the gifts were loaded, there was still some space left in the carriage, so Yingchun and the other four squeezed in reluctantly.

Zheng Xian sent a lot of guards to escort us there, and it was very impressive.

After breakfast, we set out from the palace in a grand procession.

In the carriage, Yiping held my arm tightly and looked very nervous.

I gently touched Yiping's face and said, "This face is so beautiful even without makeup. If it were to be put on some exquisite makeup, it would be so charming that it would seduce so many people."

Yiping pushed me in a chastising tone and said, "You are talking nonsense again."

I burst out laughing and said, "My third sister is already pretty, why shouldn't people say that?"

Yiping's originally tense heart became a little relaxed after I pestered him like this.

I played with Yiping's hair and said, "We are just going to recognize our relatives today, not to get married, you don't need to be so nervous."

Yi Ping snorted and said, "I'm not nervous about getting married. Why should I be nervous about marrying someone I love?"

When I heard this, I realized that this little girl's thinking was indeed different from that of ordinary people. I couldn't help but burst out laughing again and said, "I didn't expect my third sister to have the spirit of a heroine."

"Come on! You're talking nonsense again." Yiping said unhappily.

I smiled but said nothing. I took out a silver hairpin from my sleeve and gently inserted it into Yiping's head. I said, "This is a piece of jewelry left by my grandmother. Although it is not valuable, I want you to wear it when you go to recognize your relatives and let your grandmother go with you. You will have parents and a brother who is wise, brave and powerful. No one will dare to bully you in the future."

Yiping's eyes suddenly turned red and tears dripped down.

I gently wiped her tears and said, "Silly, today is a happy day, we won't cry."

Yiping threw herself on me and cried, "I miss my grandmother. If she were still alive, you would never let me go to recognize her, right?"

In fact, in Yiping's heart, she was also very reluctant to recognize two unfamiliar people as her parents, but she understood that I was doing it for her own good, so she didn't show too much resistance.

I stroked Yiping's head and said, "If grandma were still alive, she would definitely agree with my decision. I can't protect you forever. Even if I can save enough money for you to last a lifetime, if no one protects you, the money will be taken away by others, and you will end up with nothing."

Yiping raised her head and looked at me with tearful eyes, but her eyes were much firmer than before.

I patted her back gently and said, "Don't let your elder brother influence you. He experienced a happy life with a father and a mother, but you didn't. You were thrown into the countryside not long after you were born, and your grandmother brought you up. You don't owe Zhao Zhenyuan anything, but he owes you his whole life. Although he is your father in name, he never took care of you, let alone loved you. Why should you feel guilty for such a scumbag father?"

Yi Ping sat up straight, nodded firmly, and said, "Second sister, you are right. I thought too much before. If the people of the Du family treat me well, I will definitely be filial to them in the future."

I nodded and said, "The Du family is full of loyal and brave people. They are loyal to the emperor and love the country and the people. They are indeed a good family and deserve your kindness."

As he was speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

I quickly lifted the curtain and looked out, and it turned out to be Doctor Sun who stopped our carriage.

When Doctor Sun saw me sticking my head out, he quickly ran over to me, handed me a wooden box, and said, "This is a gift for Lord Du."

Then he handed over another slightly smaller box and said, "This is a gift for Yiping. Please give it to them on my behalf."

I didn't reach out to take it, but smiled and said, "If you want to give it to me, give it to me yourself."

Then I moved aside and let Yiping stick his head out.

When Imperial Physician Sun saw Yi Ping, he immediately smiled, handed over the two boxes, and said, "Third girl, I have many things to do in the Imperial Physician's Office, so I will not attend your family recognition banquet. Please accept these two gifts."

Yi Ping took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Doctor Sun!"

Doctor Sun took two steps back, looked at Yi Ping carefully, and said, "The third girl is so pretty. Master Du must have accumulated a lot of luck to have you as his daughter. I envy you to death."

Yi Ping was so amused that he chuckled and said, "Doctor Sun, you are teasing me again."

Doctor Sun waved his hands and said, "What I said is the truth. It is getting late. You should leave the palace quickly to avoid delaying the auspicious time."

After Yi Ping bowed to Doctor Sun, our carriage slowly left.

Yiping opened the two boxes.

The big box contained thousand-year-old ginseng with complete roots! The small box contained a complete set of gold jewelry, including gold earrings, gold hairpins, gold chains, and gold bracelets.

It seems that Doctor Sun has invested a lot of money this time.

Yi Ping looked at the two gifts, frowned and said, "These gifts are too expensive."

I said, "Close it. I'll have to repay you for this favor later."

Yi Ping thought for a moment and said, "You are right. It is a matter of reciprocity. I will have to repay this favor in the future."

As he was speaking, the carriage stopped again.

Today is really strange, people keep stopping the carriage.

I lifted the curtain and saw that the person who stopped the carriage this time was Zheng Yan!

Zheng Yan was riding on a horse, followed by a team of cavalrymen. He looked dusty, as if he had just returned to the palace.

Zheng Yan saw me and said with a smile, "I guessed it was Ah Man."

I leaned against the car window and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zheng Yan and I were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. He didn't ask me to perform formalities, and I never took formalities seriously. We just started chatting when we met.

Zheng Yan bent down, took out a white, furry thing from his horse bag and threw it to me.

When I looked, it turned out to be a scarf made of white fox fur!
