The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 740 Brother Sends You to Marry

"Dream on!" Zhuier put the bowl heavily on the table, her face suddenly became stern! She snorted coldly, "I know myself well. I know that I am just a maid and a slave. Even if I can marry a good family in the future with my status and position as a lady, it is not good enough for me to become the queen of a country. Besides, what's good about being a queen? I have to treat my husband with respect all my life, and face the court officials elegantly and decently all my life. No matter how many concubines my husband marries, I have to treat them as sisters happily. I am not magnanimous enough to that extent, and I can't stand that elegance.

People only have one life, sixty years at most. I don't need to waste my short life on pretending to be nice to others. I want to live a real life, cry when I should cry, laugh when I should laugh, spend more time with people I like, and stay away from people I don't like. If anyone bullies me, I will pick up a brick and throw it in his face. This is what life is all about, and this is not letting down my lady who has cultivated me.

The man I will marry in the future can be poor and ugly, but he must be sincere and kind, and must only marry me. I can go through hardships with him, but I cannot watch him have three wives and four concubines. This is my only pride, and no one can break it. "

She took a bite of the food and continued, "Of course, I have no plans to get married. I just want to follow my young lady wherever she is. Even if Yanhua Palace doesn't like female palace maids, I will still find a job in the palace so that I can keep an eye on my young lady."

Quan Qingcheng smiled, "I know, I'm just kidding you! It's because Sister Wen Yan is so kind to me that she asked so many of you to stay here to help me. I appreciate your kindness and Sister Wen Yan's kindness as well. Don't worry, Zhuier, in the future you will not only be able to rely on Sister Wen Yan's power, you can also rely on mine. I will treat you as my own sister, find a good family for you, and prepare a beautiful wedding for you.

When you get married, I will personally send you off, carry you on my back to the bridal sedan, and warn your husband that if he treats you badly, he is deceiving the emperor. Well, I have to be a good emperor, and only if I am a good emperor can I support you and prevent you from being bullied. "

Zhuier paused while eating, and said after a while: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After finishing his meal, Quan Qingcheng returned to the Palace of Immortals. Before leaving, he told Queen Mother Yu that he would not come here every day in the future. If there was anything, he would send someone to pass on the message. It would be too much of a fuss to come here every day, and it would not be good to bother the palace maids all the time. In addition to learning how to govern, he also had to win the hearts of the people. He had to make everyone in the palace respect and love him as the emperor.

He also told Queen Mother Yu that these were all taught to him by Zhuier. Although that girl was just a maid, she had been following Sister Wen Yan for more than half a year and had become more and more presentable. Her knowledge had also increased a lot. Even the daughters of noble families were probably not as good as her.

It’s a pity that such a good girl is destined to be too much for him with his three harems and six courtyards, and she doesn’t want to marry her.

Queen Mother Yu stood at the door and watched her son leave. After a while, she stretched out her hand to catch the heavy snow outside. Congwen quickly advised her: "It's too cold outside, you should go back to the house! It's okay if the emperor doesn't come. It would be terrible if he slipped and fell if he walked twice a day with a large army." Queen Mother Yu said: "I am not unhappy because he said he couldn't come. I am not unhappy. I just think my son is really difficult. He couldn't speak since he was a child. I finally figured it out and thought that as long as he could grow up happily, it would be fine. But I didn't expect that he would suddenly become the emperor. I began to adapt to the life of the queen mother again, and thought that he was the emperor. As long as he could rule the country, everything would go smoothly. He could do whatever he wanted and marry whoever he wanted.

In the end, he still couldn't marry the girl he truly loved.

"Congwen, what difference does it make whether I am the emperor or not? It is better to be an idle prince and live a happy life."

Congwen advised her, "Since you are born into the royal family, you must do royal things. It is not easy for the emperor to go from being ignorant to where he is today. Although he is not yet 18 years old and can rule the country, I think that he is mature in the true sense when he lets go of Miss Zhuier. Being an emperor is not perfect if you can get whatever you want, but if you can restrain yourself from touching something you want, this is the real emperor. This truth was actually told to me by you, Your Majesty. Did you forget it?"

Queen Mother Yu thought about it and nodded, "Yes, I told you this. Then just regard it as growth! Since you can't be a carefree prince, then work hard to be an emperor through the ages and let future generations admire you."

After she finished speaking, she turned back to the house, and just in time she saw Zhuier standing inside the house looking out, so she smiled and said, "Silly girl, do you know that if you reject the emperor, there will be thousands of girls who want to push open his door in the future!" After she finished speaking, before Zhuier could reply, she immediately denied her previous words, "Maybe it's because there are thousands of girls who want to push open his door, so you rejected him? Zhuier, I want to ask you, if we were not the emperor of Qingcheng, but just an idle prince, and there was no pressure to pass on the family line, he could live his life around you alone, would you be willing to marry him?"

Zhuier nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

Queen Mother Yu continued, "But you have to know that when a man says he is devoted to only one person, no one can guarantee that he can really do so in the future. Aren't you afraid that he will change his mind after living with you for a while?"

Zhuier said, "Don't be afraid. As long as he is determined, I dare to marry him. As for whether he will change his mind in the future, it depends on my own ability. If I can't hold a man's heart and let him think about going out and having affairs, or taking in a few concubines, then it's because I don't have that fate and ability. When there are no traditional rules to restrain me, it's my business how I live my life. But as he is the emperor, no matter how good I am, he must marry more and have more children and expand his family. One is active, the other is passive. Although I am of low status, I am not willing to passively accept people and things I don't like."

Empress Dowager Yu sighed and said with emotion, "You are indeed a maid taught by the Emperor and Empress. With your master here, you do have the confidence to pursue what you want. Good girl, don't worry, our Qingcheng is a good child. Since he has promised to treat you as his sister, he will definitely carry you on his back to the sedan chair when you get married. I will also prepare a thick dowry for you, which will not only send you off, but also complete the fate of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that we failed to achieve." Zhuier laughed when she heard it, "Your Majesty is thinking too far. In fact, I have never thought about getting married. I only said it today because the emperor asked me. In fact, it would be best for me not to marry anyone and follow my young lady until I grow old. But I still thank your Majesty and the emperor for preparing a dowry for me. If it can be used one day, Zhuier will definitely go to the palace to kowtow to your majesty, and I will definitely always treat the emperor as my brother and think about him everywhere."

That night, Quan Qingcheng ordered all places to open their granaries and release grain, and at the same time, Lin'an's grain was transferred to other provinces. Although it could only solve the immediate problem, no matter what, saving a life is a life, and he couldn't watch his people freeze to death or starve to death.

The imperial edicts were sent to other provinces by his personal guards, and the food was delivered by the personal soldiers left to him by the late emperor. He sent all his men out, and when he sat in Chengguang Hall again, he did not feel helpless at all.

In the house east of the First-rank General's Mansion, someone from Prince Chen's Mansion came to the door and said to Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian, "The Fourth Prince has sent back news that the weather has changed suddenly recently and it is difficult to trade, so no matter whether it is aromatherapy or jewelry, you can't leave the city for the time being. You two can do it slowly, or just supply Lin'an City." Ye Qingmei sighed after hearing this, "Our aromatherapy shop has just opened, and we haven't been selling for a few days when we encounter this kind of weather. I don't know if God is sincerely against us. It doesn't matter if it's bad luck, everything is for safety."

The people in Prince Chen's Mansion echoed, "Yes, safety is the most important. There is no business for your Highness in Lin'an City, so we can't help with the city's affairs. We can only ask the eldest and fifth young ladies to worry about it themselves. But don't worry, once the snow stops and the official road is passable, we will immediately transport the goods out of the city without any delay."

Ye Chulian didn't really listen to the business talk. Her mind was full of what the man had said before, "There is news coming back from the Fourth Prince." So she asked the man whenever she had time, "Where is your Prince now?"

The people from Prince Chen’s Mansion said, “In reply to Miss Fifth’s words, His Highness said when he passed on the news that he was near Qiuguan City.”

"Qiuguan City..." Ye Chulian didn't know where Qiuguan City was, so she could only say, "If you send a message to His Highness the Fourth Prince again, please remind him to be safe first when he is out, and don't worry about our affairs."

The people from Prince Chen's Mansion immediately agreed, spoke to them for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.

In the afternoon, the Shixuan Clinic in the outer city also sent someone. It was Ji Er from the Ji family. He told Ye Qingmei, "Brother Wei Li, who is in charge of purchasing, was blocked halfway and can't come back for a while. The medicinal materials in the outer city can only last for another month at most. This time, I brought a batch of medicinal materials to the inner city to help the clinic here. But when this batch is used up, if Brother Wei Li can't return to Beijing, the clinic will run out of medicine." He sighed and said, "Maybe it won't last for a month. Summer has turned into winter, many people have fallen ill, and some have slipped and broken their legs when going out. The number of people seeing doctors is not less than usual, but much more."

Ye Qingmei was helpless. The aromatherapy shop could be closed first, after all, it was not an emergency item. But if the clinic ran out of medicine, it would be a big deal. She thought for a while and asked Ye Chulian: "How much medicinal wine do you have left?"

Ye Chulian said, "There is enough medicinal wine to last for half a year, but it is not medicine after all. Although it has effects, most of the effects are for conditioning. People who are fine can drink it to strengthen their bodies, but if there is an acute illness or serious injury, medicinal wine cannot save their lives." She pondered for a while and then said, "But it is better than nothing. Brother Ji, when you leave later, bring a cart of medicinal wine to the outer city and keep it for emergency!"
