Drunk Bamboo

"Why does the princess need me to teach her medical skills? Perhaps I should ask her for advice." Qi Zhen was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said humbly.

Xie Yuzhu shook his head, admiring his medical skills very much.

The heart disease that ordinary doctors could not cure, after his diagnosis and treatment, the Taifu recovered well.

She saw with her own eyes that the Master was dying with only one breath left, but when she saw him again, his eyes were bright and his face was shining.

However, to be able to become an imperial physician in a palace full of talented people at the age of just over 30, he must have extraordinary talent.

"You are already a royal physician in the palace at such a young age. You must have learned medicine since childhood and have a better talent for it than most people. You have treated countless patients, but I have never really treated anyone. Even if I read a lot of medical books, it is just talk on paper."

Qi Zhen raised her head in surprise. She didn't expect Xie Yuzhu to know her so well.

"The Qi family has been practicing medicine for generations, and three generations have been imperial physicians. But my generation's medical skills are the worst, which brings shame to our ancestors." He felt even more ashamed.

I am also ashamed of my cowardice.

Xie Yuzhu joked: "In this case, it is because of the Feng Palace that we are implicated."

She shook her head and waved her hands, looking flustered: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I am just timid and afraid of things. Treating illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. I care too much about fame and fortune. If it weren't for the prince, I might not dare to leave the palace, and delaying the condition of the tutor would be a sin."

Afterwards, he was very grateful to King Feng. If Hua Qinfeng had not forcibly taken him out of the palace, the consequences would have been disastrous.

He may live with guilt for the rest of his life.

Later, when he saw Xie Yuzhu in the Golden Hall, unafraid of power and only seeking fairness, he suddenly realized.

Over the years, he had a smooth career and worked carefully in the palace just to preserve his identity as an imperial physician, but he forgot the Qi family motto of curing diseases and saving lives.

Seeing him bow his head in thought, Xie Yuzhu wanted to ease his emotions, so he stood up and said, "Don't you want to read a medical book? I'll take you to the study."

He raised his head, his eyes instantly lit up: "Thank you, Princess!"

Xie Yuzhu smiled, it turned out that they were indeed a family of doctors from generation to generation.

Hua Qinfeng, who was supposed to be practicing martial arts in the training ground, returned to Changfeng Courtyard in high spirits, only to see Xie Yuzhu and Qi Zhen talking and laughing in the hall.

His expression suddenly turned ugly: "Qi Zhen? Why is he here?"

"Your Highness." Yun Ling happened to run into him when she went out and called out.

"Yunling, why did Qi Zhen come to see Xie Yuzhu? If he came to the palace, he should have come to see me, the prince. What does it mean to look for the female relatives alone?" Hua Qinfeng had a dark face, suppressing the urge to run and beat Qi Zhen, and asked Yunling first.

Influenced by Xie Yuzhu, one should not act impulsively.

Yun Ling said truthfully: "Doctor Qi came to pay his respects to the prince and princess. The princess saw you practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground, so she didn't ask anyone to disturb you."

"Nothing, what's there to see?" It turned out that Xie Yuzhu wanted to talk to him alone. Hua Qinfeng's face turned even colder when he heard that. Seeing the two of them walking towards the study, he became even more unhappy, "Why are you going into the study?"

Yun Ling wondered why he was angry and asked, "The princess is asking Doctor Qi for advice on medical skills. Is the prince here to see the princess?"

Hua Qinfeng calmed down and said, "I wanted to ask her to come to the martial arts training ground to exercise, but I didn't expect Qi Zhen to come. Why did you come out?"

"The princess asked me to prepare some cakes. She probably has a lot of questions for Doctor Qi." Yun Ling asked tentatively, "Does Your Majesty want to come in?"

Still preparing cakes?

Do you want to chat for half a day?

Hua Qinfeng said coldly: "Come back later."

"What do you mean by come back later?"

Yun Ling looked at his back as he left angrily, feeling very puzzled.

Chaoyang, who was at the martial arts training ground, saw Hua Qinfeng coming back alone and asked:

"Didn't the prince go to invite the princess? Why did he come back alone without seeing the princess?"

"Chaoyang, bring me the dagger!" Hua Qinfeng just stretched out his hand.

"Why do you want a dagger for no reason?" Chaoyang said, and took off the dagger from his waist and handed it to him.

"Help me shave my beard!" A pair of black eyes flashed with cold light.

Chaoyang stood there for a while, then said in astonishment:

"What happened?! Your Majesty, you were so unwilling to shave your beard that you would not even die, why do you suddenly want to shave it?! What on earth has happened?!"

"It's nothing, I just think the beard is too ugly." As he said this, he drew his dagger, the blade sharp.

"Did the princess say that the prince never cares about his appearance?" Chaoyang guessed.

"Is it really that ugly?" Hua Qinfeng put the dagger in his hand, doubting himself, and asked Chaoyang.

"My Lord, when did you become so unconfident? Just for a word from the princess, you even shaved off your beard that you had refused to shave for years. Many people asked you to shave your beard before, but you refused. My Lord, you really care about the princess."

Chaoyang was shocked when he saw the unconfident prince in front of him.

He has followed the prince since he was a child. The prince had seen the brutal scenes of fighting on the battlefield when he was thirteen years old. He was originally a handsome young man, but in order to blend in with the soldiers, he grew a beard. It has been so long that people have forgotten what the prince originally looked like.

But the prince has always been cool and confident. How could he be so unconfident as he is today?

Just for one person, the princess.

"I just want to ask you one question, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Hua Qinfeng asked loudly.

"Your Highness, did I really do it? You can't regret it?" Chaoyang asked again.

"Stop nagging me, I'll do it myself!" Hua Qinfeng snatched the dagger, used the surface of the pond beside him as a mirror, and slashed with the knife.

"I really can't bring myself to do it. After so many years, I've gotten used to seeing the prince with a beard all over his face."

Chaoyang was impressed by his quick and decisive actions and said:

"Your Highness, the princess is different from other women. She doesn't care about your appearance. If you want to please her, you should be nicer to her and not do anything to make her angry. That might be more helpful."

"When she sees someone who looks good, her eyes light up and her face smiles like a flower." Hua Qinfeng muttered in a low voice and snorted coldly, "I want to let her see that I am not bad looking either."

Chaoyang still felt that the prince's idea of ​​using beauty to keep the princess was unreliable.

"The princess is always kind and friendly to everyone she meets."

Hua Qinfeng retorted: "It's different. She is very kind to Qi Zhen and always speaks for him. He is an old man, but he looks younger. I shaved my beard and looked a few years younger."

As I said this, I thought of Qi Zhen's drab coat. I really don't know what's so good about it.

Chaoyang was surprised and asked, "Is this still the prince I know? Are you jealous?"

"Why are you jealous? Come back with me and change your clothes."

"My lord, you..."

Chaoyang was so surprised that he was speechless.

After seeing his face.

"What's wrong?" Hua Qinfeng touched his smooth chin and cheeks unconsciously, frowning slightly, "When I was a child, many people said that I looked like my mother. My mother was so beautiful. Will I look like my father when I grow up?"

Chaoyang was speechless.

Your Majesty was also very handsome back then, okay?

He urged, "Your Majesty, you should go find the princess as soon as possible. The princess will definitely be surprised."
