Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

"Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request. I hope Your Majesty will grant it." Fang Yao didn't care whether the emperor had a sullen face or not. He bowed and said in a loud voice, "Before the matter between the eldest prince and the Chu family girl is clarified, I ask Your Majesty not to grant the eldest prince and Li'er a marriage..."

Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother's scolding voice could be heard from outside the door, "Fang Yao, you bastard, are you looking down on my grandson again? I wonder if I can forgive you today."

Fang Yao quickly rushed to the emperor's back and squatted down, "Your Majesty, please speak honestly. How could I dislike the eldest prince?"

The Emperor stood up from the dragon throne and went to meet the Queen Mother. "Your son greets you, Mother."

Everyone also hurriedly bowed, "Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother."

"Your Highness has greeted the Empress Dowager."

"Your humble servant greets the Queen Mother."

"This old servant greets the Empress Dowager."

"Alright, alright, get up," the Queen Mother came in, speaking, her eyes searching for Fang Yao, "Fang Yao, come out here."

"I won't go out because I'm afraid you will hit me." Fang Yao squatted behind the imperial desk, stuck his head out to look at the empress dowager, and then retracted his head.

"You're so brave! You dare to argue with me? Just for this, I have to beat you up."

"Queen Dowager, you can't be unreasonable." Fang Yao poked her head out again and smiled ingratiatingly. "Your grandson is so popular that noble ladies are all trying to get him. Even his uncle's family wants him. Given this situation, you know my niece is uneducated and unskilled, so how can she compete with others? Besides, Li'er herself has no intention of getting married. You can't force me to marry my niece to someone who doesn't like her, right?"

The Queen Mother was confused by his words and was stunned.

Xiao Chenze became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly tugged at the Empress Dowager's sleeve, shaking it. "Grandmother, it's not that my grandson doesn't like Miss Shen. I... like her very much. As for my cousin, that didn't happen at all. Grandmother, I think the general is just making excuses. He doesn't want to have anything to do with our family."

The Queen Mother's muddled mind was immediately cleared by Xiao Chenze's words. She slammed her dragon-headed cane to the ground. "Fang Yao, you bastard! Miss Shen is just a little girl, what does she know? Isn't it you who orchestrated this behind the scenes? I don't care. You must agree to the marriage between the eldest prince and Miss Shen today, whether you agree or not. Emperor."

"My son is here."

"Draft an edict right now and grant Chen'er and Miss Shen a marriage. I wonder if that bastard Fang Yao dares to stop me? He's delaying my grandson's marriage and my great-grandson. He wants to piss me off to death, and I'll never let him go. Ouch, ouch, my heart is sore. No, it hurts."

Just as Shen Li was about to object, the empress dowager covered her chest with her hands, and her expression looked as if she was having a heart attack again. She was so frightened that she didn't bother to say anything. She hurried forward to help the empress dowager sit down, dragged over the medicine box, and took out the stethoscope.

Fang Yao was so frightened that she came out from behind the imperial desk and quickly came to the Queen Mother. She watched Shen Li listening to the Queen Mother's heartbeat nervously, "How is it? What happened to the Queen Mother?"

But please don't let it be because he is angry. If the Queen Mother does anything, his life will be over.

The others also stared at the Queen Mother nervously. She had her eyes closed and looked so weak that she didn't even want to speak.

Plop, plop...

The Queen Mother's heart was beating strongly. Shen Li was afraid that she had heard something wrong, so she frowned and listened again.

Plop, plop...

She looked up in confusion and happened to see that the empress dowager's eyes seemed to be moving.

Pretending?

But she is the queen mother, who dares to say that she is faking illness?

Doctor Wang came running over in a hurry. When he saw Shen Li, he gently called her "Master" and then knelt in front of the Queen Mother to take her pulse.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense face relaxed at once. "Thank God, Your Majesty, you are fine. Your heart is fine, and there is nothing wrong with you. It shows that my master's medicine is really effective. As long as Your Majesty takes it on time, your health will get better day by day. You, just wait and enjoy..."

Uh?

Why did the emperor look at me with disgust?

Why was the eldest prince looking at him angrily?

I was clearly talking about good things and didn't say that the Queen Mother was seriously ill. They should be happy, so why do they look like they want to eat me alive?

Leaning timidly towards Shen Li, Doctor Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "Um...um, I'll take your pulse again, don't make a mistake."

After taking her pulse again, I found that the Empress Dowager was in good health and her heart was beating strongly.

He looked at Shen Li in confusion, "Master, what does your stethoscope sound like? Why is it that when I took the Queen Mother's pulse, it felt like there was nothing wrong with her body, and her heart was in better shape than mine?"

Bang.

Doctor Wang was slapped hard on the head by Xiao Chenze. "The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, can't you see? You're just making a lot of noise. If you disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, I'll skin you alive."

Doctor Wang was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refute, "The Queen Mother is not sick, Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense, you..."

He stood there with his mouth wide open.

He seemed to know what the problem was.

Neither the Emperor nor the First Prince wanted to hear him say that the Empress Dowager was fine. What they wanted to hear was, "The Empress Dowager, uh, took her pulse and it seems she's not feeling well. It's like, well, there's a blockage in her chest, not quite feeling well, uh, right, First Prince?"

Xiao Chenze glanced at Shen Li and said to Doctor Wang unhappily, "How would I know if it's right or not? You're the imperial physician, and I'm not."

Okay, I didn’t do anything this time. It seems my guess was right.

Doctor Wang relaxed his anxious heart and touched Shen Li, "Master, the Queen Mother's heartbeat is a little fast, right?"

After saying that, he winked at Shen Li, kindly reminding her not to tell the truth, as it would make the emperor and the eldest prince dislike her.

Although he still didn't understand why this happened, he felt that as Shen Li's favorite disciple, he had an obligation to remind his mentor not to offend the emperor and the eldest prince without knowing anything.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Li put away the stethoscope and slowly put it into the medicine box.

The moment the medicine box was closed, she knelt in front of the empress dowager and kowtowed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am an ignorant person. I am sorry to trouble you."

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked at her with a complicated expression.

Shen Li said, "Thanks to you and the Emperor for your kindness, you wished me to marry the eldest prince. My uncle..."

She turned around and glanced at Fang Yao. "It's not that my uncle despises the eldest prince, but rather that he only wants to use the military power for the emperor. Once I and the prince are engaged, regardless of whether my uncle has such intentions or not, people will assume that his military power belongs to the eldest prince. My uncle and I refused the marriage to avoid suspicion. I ask the emperor and the queen mother to understand this."
