Hearing Jiang Rou's voice, the county lady poked her head out from behind the screen.

She was no more than seven or eight years old, with her face covered with gauze, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

He said in a muffled voice, "Are you a doctor too?"

Jiang Rou smiled and said, "Yes."

The county lady hesitated for a moment and said, "The female doctor can come in."

After getting approval, Jiang Rou walked around the screen and went to the back.

There was another room inside, and the county lady was sitting on the bed here. Almost everything that could be moved or smashed in the room had been smashed.

The broken porcelain pieces on the ground were also swept away by the palace maids in time.

She stepped barefoot on the ground, her fingers tightly twisted around the handkerchief.

"My face has been sore for quite some time, Sister Jiang, do you think I can get better?"

Girls would all care about their appearance to some extent. It would not look good if they had rashes or scars on their faces, not to mention that she was a county princess.

Realizing that the county lady did not resist, Jiang Rou gently took off her veil.

The pretty little face is covered with rashes.

Jiang Rou carefully examined it and came to a conclusion. She gently comforted him, "Don't worry, County Lady, this is just an ordinary rash, it's not difficult to cure."

Then, she opened the medicine box she carried with her and took out a bottle of ointment. "As long as you apply this ointment regularly, you will be healed in a few days."

The county lady took the ointment, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation, "Really? Thank you, Sister Jiang!"

"I'll prescribe you some oral medication. After taking it for a few days, the sores on your face will get better."

Jiang Rou smiled and nodded, "However, during this period, you still need to pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid spicy and greasy foods."

The county lady nodded obediently and agreed, "I will definitely listen to Sister Jiang."

No wonder she lost her temper.

No one would want others to see him/herself like this.

"Please don't be so petty in the future, it would be bad if the vase hits someone."

The county lady's handkerchief was twisted into a knot:

"I didn't. I made sure it wouldn't hit anyone."

She wasn't the kind of unreasonable person who wanted to take someone's life or anything like that, she just didn't want those people to get close to her.

After explaining these things, Jiang Rou walked out.

She first wrote a prescription, then dictated her condition and handed the prescription to Zhang Cheng for review.

After reading the charter, he sighed: "Not bad, the medication is accurate."

Then he gave the prescription to the palace maids and asked them to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they are overly suspicious, but no matter what Cheng Zhang said about Jiang Rou's good medical skills, they didn't dare to believe it.

The Queen Mother finally smiled a little more: "You have cured the county lady, which is a great achievement."

Jiang Rou bowed slightly and said, "I dare not take credit for this."

The Queen Mother said, "You are too modest."

Because this matter was not to be made public, the Queen Mother said that she liked Jiang Rou and wanted to invite her to the palace more often.

Naturally, others will not doubt it.

After coming here so many times, Jiang Rou no longer needed other palace maids to lead the way and could walk in by herself.

One day, when she was walking on the road, she was suddenly knocked to the ground by someone coming from the opposite direction, and she saw stars.

The man was holding a bundle in his arms.

A eunuch and a palace maid ran over from behind.

Shouting, "Don't run! Stop!"

The man got up from the ground and hid behind Jiang Rou.

She pulled Jiang Rou's sleeve, raised her head and looked pitiful.

"Help!"

Jiang Rou couldn't bear to blame him for a moment.

The two people who were chasing after him were already in sight.

He reached out to pull her clothes, but was blocked by Jiang Rou. The eunuch was about to blame him when the palace maid pulled his clothes.

The eunuch raised his head and saw Jiang Rou's face clearly. His originally arrogant face suddenly became extremely flattering.

"So it's Miss Jiang. I'm sorry that I offended you because I didn't recognize you."

Jiang Rou frowned and asked him: "What are you doing?"

The eunuch glanced at the person behind Jiang Rou, and then said to Jiang Rou: "It was because the princess was too naughty that she ran away secretly. The servants were just about to take her back!"

Jiang Rou was shocked. She turned around and looked at the thin little girl. Is this actually a princess?

Xiao Lingxuan pulled Jiang Rou's clothes and sniffed: "Sister, if I don't go back with them, they will beat me."

Hearing this, the two people's faces changed drastically, and the palace maid even stammered: "Princess, what nonsense are you talking about! How could we commit a crime against our superiors!"

Seeing that Jiang Rou didn't believe her, Xiao Lingxuan immediately pulled up her sleeves and showed her the bruises on her arms.

"Look, sister, they beat me."

Jiang Rou's expression became extremely serious. This was no trivial matter. She swept her sharp eyes over the two palace servants, and before Jiang Rou could ask anything, both of them were stunned.

What else is there to ask?

Jiang Rou immediately took Xiao Lingxuan to see the Queen Mother.

Xiao Lingxuan held Jiang Rou's hand and shook her head: "Sister, I won't go."

When the two men heard this, they didn't care about anything else and ran away immediately.

Jiang Rou disagreed and said, "How can you let them go? You are a princess!"

Xiao Lingxuan smiled bitterly: "The unfavored princess lives worse than the maids in the palace. The Queen Mother will not care about the harem."

Jiang Rou understood it in one sentence.

Today, the empress and the imperial concubine are in equal status in the harem, with the empress holding power and the imperial concubine holding favor.

The Queen Mother has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures. As long as nothing serious happens in the palace, she doesn't care.

Xiao Lingxuan said gratefully:

"Sister, thank you for helping me today. I will remember you."

She looked so thin and so well-behaved that Jiang Rou couldn't help but feel distressed.

"If you need anything just tell me and I'll do my best to help you."

Xiao Lingxuan raised her face and smiled sweetly at Jiang Rou: "Thank you, sister, you are so kind."

Jiang Rou now goes to the palace every day and sees He Congling every day in the Empress Dowager's Palace.

One day she asked about Xiao Lingxuan's situation.

He Congling said: "That's indeed the case."

"The current emperor has four children, and Lingxuan is the least favored one.

The crown prince and the eldest princess were both born to the queen, and the second prince was born to the imperial concubine.

Lingxuan's biological mother was just a palace maid, and she died shortly after giving birth to Lingxuan.

I heard that the palace maid was plain-looking and the Emperor got Princess Lingxuan after drinking.

The emperor doesn't like that maid, so naturally he doesn't like Princess Lingxuan either."

He Congling said it very tactfully.

It's more than just dislike?

He regarded her as a stain on his own history as a wise ruler.

Put her where he can't see her.

She was not valued by her father and was ignored. In the palace, everyone was flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and anyone could step on her.

He Congling sighed: "Anyway, that child is quite pitiful."

Jiang Rou thought, next time she meets that child, she should be nicer to her.

As she was thinking, He Congling suddenly said, "Do you know that the Changle Marquis family has returned from Jiangnan?"

"I heard that they have a very beautiful daughter. They came back this time to propose marriage, but I don't know who they will marry."
