The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

It turned out that before Gu Qing and others came to pay their respects to Princess Yu, they met Xiao Li and naturally invited him to go with them.

But Xiao Li refused without hesitation, saying that he had something to do at the government office and had to go out in a hurry.

So they were naturally unhappy when they reappeared in the princess's courtyard at this moment.

Xiao Li said nothing, pretending not to hear anything. The atmosphere in the hall was so awkward that it almost froze.

Gu Qing's look of expectation at the beginning turned into her face no longer being able to keep calm, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face.

He stamped his feet, turned around and rushed out, forgetting even to say goodbye to Princess Yu.

Xiao Yuyao hurriedly chased after her. Xiao Yuzhen bowed to Princess Yu and followed her out to take a look.

Shen Baozhao found it funny to see that Xiao Li still acted as if nothing had happened.

It turns out that this cold-blooded young master has such a bad temper even towards weak women.

As for Gu Qing, she noticed her as soon as she entered the room. She was charming and pretty, and her clothes were obviously carefully dressed.

When he just greeted her, the scrutinizing look in his eyes made Shen Baozhao very uncomfortable.

Shen Baozhao didn't care much. She just thought that Gu Qing was like Xiao Yuyao, but just another spoiled girl.

Princess Yu County would know why she didn't know what happened today, but she seemed to be used to it and consoled Xiao Li, "Li'er, your cousin Qing is a guest after all.

If your uncle and aunt knew about it, they would tell your mother about it."

Xiao Li said in a deep voice: "Grandma, my grandson has been like this since he was a child. It's not the first day that Cousin Qing has known about this."

Xiao Li already knew what Gu Qing was thinking, and he had always treated her as a younger sister like Yu Yao.

Madam Xiao mentioned her marriage to her cousin Qing several times, but he rejected it outright.

Now he had to make his attitude clear, there was no need to give her any hope.

Xiao Li didn't want to discuss Gu Qing's matter with Princess Yu anymore, so he just turned to look at Shen Baozhao and asked, "Cousin, are you here for something important today?"

Xiao Li asked coldly, and Shen Baozhao came to his senses: "Come and see grandma. Grandma's complexion seems to be getting better day by day."

Princess Yu patted Shen Baozhao's hand and said, "Thanks to my Zhaozhao, if you come to the palace more often, grandma might be able to climb the mountain gate of Fahua Temple by herself in a while."

"Cousin, you are so awesome." Xiao Yuling did not go with Gu Qing and the others. Instead, she smiled and joined in the fun with Princess Yu.

Seeing that Xiao Li had no intention of leaving, Shen Baozhao remembered about his uncle Xiao.

"Grandma, I got a few Hanxiang pills, which are very effective in treating leg injuries. I wonder how my uncle is recovering, so maybe they can come in handy."

When Princess Yu heard that it was about treating Master Xiao's leg injury, she immediately took it to heart and told Xiao Li, "Li'er, take your cousin to see your father.

Your mother went to the Xuanping Marquis's residence today and is not here. You and Yuling will entertain your cousin on behalf of your grandmother."

Xiao Li stood up and responded, then took Shen Baozhao and Xiao Yuling to the courtyard of Master Xiao.

With Xiao Yuling's clever remarks along the way, the atmosphere did not become dull.

They arrived while chatting and laughing. Master Xiao was standing up straight with the help of the court doctor.

With one hand on the court doctor's arm, he was moving slowly and with difficulty, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his forehead covered with sweat from exhaustion.

Seeing the three people coming, he ordered someone to push the mechanical chair over and sat on the chair again.

With one hand he wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, while smiling he greeted Shen Baozhao: "Zhaozhao, it's rare to see you today."

When the court doctor saw Shen Baozhao, he smiled happily. Ever since he learned the acupuncture method and used it on Master Xiao, Master Xiao had been recovering visibly.

He even started trying to move his steps today, something he had never dared to think about before.

This is all thanks to the cousin in front of him. During his medical career, he could brag about this set of acupuncture techniques among his peers for half his life.

If he can learn a little bit from his cousin's visit today, he will benefit a lot.

Shen Baozhao felt Uncle Xiao's pulse, nodded with satisfaction, and praised the court doctor, "The court doctor's acupuncture technique is very accurate. Uncle is slowly recovering."

The court doctor said modestly, "It still depends on Miss Cousin's acupuncture method. However, it has been a bit difficult to practice in the past two days."

Shen Baozhao nodded. She had seen it just now. Uncle Xiao must have encountered a bottleneck now. It was a huge leap from standing to walking. It was difficult to break through in one or two days.

In this case, Hanxiang Pills come in handy.

Shen Baozhao took a small white jade bottle from Qingkong, opened the stopper, and poured out a Hanxiang Pill.

"Uncle, take this pill and take nine deep breaths. Give it a try."

Master Xiao took the pill without hesitation, threw it into his mouth, and drank it down with tea.

Suddenly, it was as if I was in an ice cave, and every part of my body felt the chill.

Inhale, exhale, exhale, exhale...repeat nine times.

The cold air gathered on the legs, gradually moving from the toes to the knees. Wherever the cold air went, the meridians seemed to be unblocked.

As if his lower body was relaxed, Master Xiao tried to stand up. The court doctor came forward to help him, but he waved his hand to refuse.

All the strength in my body seemed to flow into my legs, and my left foot moved slowly, surprisingly smoothly.

Master Xiao then became bolder and took a step forward with his right foot, shook his body and stood still.

Just like this, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot... I had walked more than ten steps without realizing it.

Still feeling that it was not enough, Shen Baozhao stopped him: "Uncle, this is all you need to practice today. More haste makes waste."

Uncle Xiao smiled awkwardly. He was too hasty. He was really excited to be able to stand up and walk.

The court doctor was even more shocked, as no one knew Master Xiao's health better than him.

As before, it was already a miracle. I didn't know that this cousin's medical skills could be so powerful.

"Practice walking for a quarter of an hour tomorrow, and add a quarter of an hour every day until you have completed an hour. In the future, uncle should be able to walk without any problem."

Shen Baozhao smiled and gave instructions to the court doctor.

She was also very excited. She didn't expect the Hanxiang Pill to be so powerful. It was worth spending so much money.

Seeing Shen Baozhao's confidence and ability to plan and strategize, Xiao Li did not hide his admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Yuling admired Shen Baozhao even more and kept holding her arm.

Master Xiao was also tired this time, so the few of them left the yard and planned to return to Princess Yu's place.

Xiao Yuling was found by the servants of the third house, who said that Madam Xiao San had asked an embroiderer to come and measure Xiao Yuling's size.

She left reluctantly, telling Shen Baozhao to go first and she would come later.

Uncle Xiao's leg got better as expected, Shen Baozhao felt relieved and his tone became brighter.

While walking and talking with Xiao Li, before they had reached halfway, they saw Gu Qing and Xiao Yuyao feeding the fish by the pond from a distance.

She didn't want to meet the two men, so she stopped talking with Xiao Li, and the two of them walked straight along the corridor.

But Xiao Yuyao and the other person didn't notice anyone around, and they talked about them behind their backs without restraint.

"Sister Qing, don't worry. My brother will only marry you, and I will only recognize you as my sister-in-law."

"But Brother Li obviously came after the cousin from the Shen family today, so he came to pay his respects to the princess again."

"What kind of person is the Shen family? Shen Baozhao is always pretending to be so noble and noble, but her grandparents treat her like a treasure.

Everyone knows that she is eagerly thinking about how to get into our palace every day.

How could my brother fall in love with a woman like her who is so hypocritical. "
