The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

While Prince Yi was staying at the Hua Mansion for free meals, the news that the Emperor had newly appointed a country woman as the Princess of Qinghe County had spread quickly throughout the imperial capital.

From the nobles living in mansions to the common people on the streets, everyone was talking about the newly appointed Princess of Qinghe County and was extremely curious about her.

After returning home, Duke Liang told Madam Liang that Prince Yi did not give him any face at all in the court today, and pointed at his nose and cursed him in front of the emperor and civil and military officials for the newly appointed Princess Qinghe.

He asked Madam Liang to come to the palace on a certain day and have a good talk with her daughter about Prince Yi and the Princess of Qinghe County. It would be best if she could let her daughter persuade the Emperor.

Madam Liang asked curiously, "Master, the emperor's new title of Princess of Qinghe County has nothing to do with us, why are you so anxious and angry?"

"What do you know?" Duke Liang glanced at Madam Liang and lowered his voice and said, "Prince Yi has always been skeptical about the deposed Crown Prince's rebellion and he even had a quarrel with the Emperor over this. Moreover, he has always disliked Concubine Shu and the Third Prince. Now he has promoted a county lady. The greater the power on his side, the greater the resistance on our side."

Mrs. Liang then nodded in understanding and said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow and talk to Min'er about these two people. If we can get rid of them, that would be the best. But if we can't, we can at least put a stop to their arrogance."

Duke Liang then breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

Zhou Duowen, who was studying at Chongshan Academy in the imperial capital, should now be called Xiao Duowen. He heard about the Princess of Qinghe County from his biological father Xiao Zhiyuan.

Xiao Zhiyuan's other two sons were both bad, so he had no choice but to bring his illegitimate son Zhou Duowen home to raise him well.

At first, Xiao Duowen thought he had heard it wrong.

His former sister-in-law, Gu Qinghuai, was actually granted the title of Princess of Qinghe County by the Emperor because she presented a high-yield new grain variety to the court!

Not to mention how difficult it is to get the high-yield grain varieties, it is almost impossible to establish relationships with people like Xiao Pingshi, a minor official of the seventh rank, and Prince Yi.

Gu Qinghuai, she was just an ordinary country woman! The most important official she had ever seen in her life was probably the head of the village.

Xiao Duowen thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't believe that the Princess of Qinghe County was his former sister-in-law.

If I had known that Gu Qinghuai had such a good life, it would not be impossible to marry her as a concubine.

Anyway, he has been in the imperial capital for such a long time, but he has never seen many women more beautiful than Gu Qinghuai.

His father asked the mistress to introduce him to several legitimate daughters of the family, but he didn't like any of them.

The mistress was very dissatisfied with this, but her father said that it was just right that he didn't like her, and there was no need to rush into the marriage. They could wait until after the provincial and imperial examinations to consider the bride. The bride who could be the suitable matchmaker would be from a higher class.

Xiao Hubu was also surprised to learn that Princess Qinghe was actually his son's former sister-in-law.

He also thought that the Princess of Qinghe County and her son were just from the same hometown of Qinghe County. In order to prevent the scandal of his affair with Duowen's mother in Zhoujia Village when he was young from spreading to the court, he followed the Duke of Liang in opposing the bestowal of a title on that woman.

That woman had better keep her mouth shut, otherwise, he has plenty of ways to deal with her!

Zhou Cuiwan was equally shocked as Xiao Duowen.

After hearing the news, Zhou Cuiwan was unable to react for a long time.

She could never believe that the timid and cowardly country woman had become the second-rank Princess of Qinghe County.

However, it is not impossible to have a baby girl to help her.

The seeds she presented to the court must have been rewards from the female treasure system.

Zhou Cuiwan began to worry that the trajectory of some things in this life would change.

No matter what, she had to lie dormant for the time being and wait until the Seventh Prince became a brave general and returned to the imperial capital before taking action.

The next day, at Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Outside the operating room that Gu Qinghuai had Prince Yi prepare, there were servants standing there, all looking at the door nervously.

Sihe was particularly nervous, his hands were twisted into a knot, and he paced back and forth continuously.

At this moment, Miss Gu was treating her master's face, which inevitably involved knife surgery and bleeding. He thought he would hear the master's heart-wrenching screams, but the master and Miss Gu had been in there for almost half an hour, and there was still no sound.

The master is very afraid of pain. If bitten by a mosquito, he will scream in pain.

It is impossible to keep silent when having surgery on your face.

Sihe couldn't help it, so he walked up to Cui Shishi and Lingzhi, and asked tentatively with a smile on his face, "Miss Cui, how exactly did Miss Gu treat her face? It's been almost an hour, why is there no movement in the room?"

Cui Shishi stood in front of Sihe like a sturdy iron tower, making Sihe look even thinner.

She glanced at Sihe and said calmly, "If my master says it's okay, it's okay. What kind of noise do you want to hear? Like the sound of a baby giving birth?"

"Almost... almost," Sihe smiled awkwardly.

Every time the master is injured, even if he is pricked by a needle, he cries like that.

The other servants nodded.

Cui Shishi and Lingzhi looked at each other, and a hint of disgust flashed in their eyes.

Sihe was too embarrassed to continue asking questions. He was still as anxious as a good husband waiting for his wife to give birth. From time to time, he would get close to the window and stick to the window frame to listen to the noise inside.

Inside the house, Gu Qinghuai, wearing a mask and a white coat, was performing plastic surgery on Prince Yi.

At first, Prince Yi thought that the facial treatment would be very painful, and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweats. Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghuai took out a white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose. In just a moment, he lost consciousness.

Gu Qinghuai first fixed his nose.

The operation is actually very simple. First, the old skin tissue at the suture site is cut off to expose the active skin and flesh layer, and then the artificial nose is sutured on.

This artificial nose, like real skin, fits Prince Yi's facial features very well. It is the missing part of the facial features that was accurately calculated by the Nubao system based on the photo of Prince Yi sent by Gu Qinghuai.

After the nose was sutured, it looked just like my mother's natural nose.

After finishing the nose, follow the same procedure and sew the artificial upper lip on.

By the time the nose and upper lip were completely completed, Prince Yi's face had changed drastically.

At this time, Gu Qinghuai could already imagine what Prince Yi would look like after his recovery.

What a handsome man!

After the facial filling was completed, Gu Qinghuai fed Prince Yi a pill to stimulate the revival of nerves and blood vessels, and finally applied an anti-inflammatory drug.

After Prince Yi woke up, he was stunned for a while before he remembered that he was undergoing plastic surgery. "What did I do just now - Ouch! Hiss!"

Gu Qinghuai immediately held his hand and said, "Don't move or speak. Your face has been done. When the anesthetic wears off, you will be in pain for two days, but this pain is bearable."

Hearing this, Prince Yi was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and touched his nose and mouth.

He has a nose!

The lips were also repaired!

Prince Yi's eyes were shining with excitement and his hands could not stop shaking.

Gu Qinghuai took out a gilded mirror with a pattern and handed it to him, "Do you want to see your face?"
