Chapter 1543

The Kang family made a big fuss, and the Princess's Mansion did not give in easily.

Even though Xiyue is just a servant, she is also the princess's treasure.

The princess had long since returned her indenture to Xiyue and was deregistered as a slave in the government.

Not only that, she was a disciple of Shen Yuanshi, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and was also a disciple of Madam Anguo, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. She was also a gynecologist taught by Madam Meng herself.

Let's put it this way, she knows everything about difficult and complicated diseases, and can handle daily ailments and gynecological diseases. Not to mention other things, during the earthquake, she delivered several women with difficult labors.

If she had not learned Madam Meng's unique technique, it would have been a luxury to hear "mother and child are safe" when giving birth under such difficult conditions.

Xiyue played a big role in the earthquake rescue, saving lives day and night. After the earthquake, officials were rewarded, and one of the special cases was to promote Xiyue to the eighth-rank female official in the Imperial Hospital, serving as a clerk, and she would take up the post when she returned to Beijing.

Although it was only an eighth-rank position, there were only two women in the Northern Wing who had served as officials before, one was Madam Lingyun and the other was Madam Anguo.

Both women were able to become officials because of their significant contributions to the Northern Wing. Xiyue was the third woman in the Northern Wing to become an official, a height that many women could hardly reach.

Although Xiyue was not born into a powerful family, one day, with unremitting efforts, she might become a powerful person step by step.

And the princess is her backer. The princess said that as long as Xiyue gets married, she will pay for the dowry. The princess's mansion is Xiyue's natal home.

This hidden identity is enviable even for a rich and powerful woman. How can it be compared with those relatives of the Kang family who beat around the bush?

Doctor Kang, whose name was Chen Yan, was born out of wedlock and was not valued by the Kang family. When he was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, his stepmother did not think of arranging a marriage for him.

Even if she values ​​him now, it is only because his stepmother wants to push the illegitimate daughter of a distant relative to him.

So from the surface, there is nothing wrong with the marriage between Kang Chenyan and Xiyue.

Kang Chenyan himself said, "I am marrying above my station, Miss Xiyue."

However, Kang Chenyan's sincere proposal was not only blocked by the Kang family, but also made things difficult for the Princess' Mansion.

The princess asked twice: "I wonder what Doctor Kang likes about Xiyue? Do you have a cousin?"

Kang Chenyan's forehead was sweating from the questions, and he answered the first question first, "Miss Xiyue is smart and patient, thoughtful, nimble, and kind-hearted. These are all excellent qualities of Miss Xiyue. But these merits are not the reason why I propose marriage. I... can't explain the reason, but I feel that if I can marry Miss Xiyue and accompany her for the rest of my life, my life will be complete."

This was said implicitly, but in fact he was attracted to Miss Xiyue and felt at ease and happy when she was with him.

Once the princess asked her husband the same question, "What do you like about me?"

The prince consort answered her patiently and said that there was actually no reason to like someone.

When you meet this person, no matter whether she is good or bad, prosperous or miserable, you want to be with her.

Only when I am with her can I feel happy.

Kang Chenyan's answer coincided with that of the prince consort, and the princess was very satisfied.

As for the second strange question, Kang Chenyan said, "To answer the princess' question, I have many cousins ​​in my family. I wonder what the princess means?"
