When the father and son arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, the head physician of the Imperial Medical Academy was discussing the Empress Dowager's prescription with Jingxue.

Physician Fu diagnosed the Empress Dowager with insomnia due to insufficient Qi and blood. He prescribed a lot of tonics, so Jingxue offered her own suggestions and even presented a prescription for Xiaoyao Pills.

As for Jingxue's suggestion of calcium supplementation, Physician Fu found it quite novel. His residence was located at the border of the North and West City, and his family had bought tofu from Li Ji Fruit and Vegetable Shop recently. He never expected that the soft and glutinous tofu could supplement calcium and make one's bones strong. As for soy milk, he had never drunk it before.

"Your Highness, dietary supplements should be maintained over a long period of time. I think it would be best if we could combine medical treatment with dietary supplements!" said Physician Fu.

Jingxue nodded, "Yes, the Empress Dowager needs to strengthen her exercise, even just taking more walks is good. If she can practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade every day, that would be even better! I also have a set of patting exercises that are quite good."

As Jingxue spoke, she demonstrated the acupoints to Physician Fu. Physician Fu understood immediately upon seeing the acupoints Jingxue demonstrated. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he knew the functions of these acupoints, but it was not easy to turn them into a set of exercises for strengthening the body!

He only talked with Jingxue for about fifteen minutes, but he benefited a lot from it!

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!

He didn't think much of Princess Zhan when the Empress had a difficult childbirth, but now he realizes she's truly capable.

Actually, this set of exercises is very popular in modern times. Many people on short video platforms follow some live streamers to do the exercises every day. Modern people pay great attention to health preservation. She and her grandfather also studied this set of patting exercises. It is indeed very good. It is an exercise that covers almost the entire body from head to toe. You don't have to run or jump. You can practice it while sitting.

Since they were in a palace, Ye Muchen and the Emperor Emeritus did not have anyone announce their arrival. As soon as they entered, they saw Jingxue patting her armpits. Ye Muchen thought to himself, "This girl really doesn't care about her image at all!"

Old Fu across from him kept nodding.

"What are you doing?" Ye Muchen asked.

Physician Fu was so focused that he didn't notice the two people who entered. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I was just consulting with the Princess Consort about medical matters!"

Ye Muchen: "Oh!"

The Empress Dowager had just finished drinking her medicine and was being attended to by her maids.

After the Emperor Emeritus sat down, he asked, "Third son's wife, how is your mother's condition?"

Jingxue nodded slightly. "Father, Mother does indeed have a minor health issue. The imperial physicians are treating the symptoms appropriately, but treatment takes time, and Mother needs to cooperate actively. I believe she will recover soon!"

The Emperor Emeritus rolled his eyes. "These are all ambiguous statements. Are all doctors like this?"

Jingxue wasn't going to indulge the old man. "Father, the imperial physicians are trying their best to use plain and easy-to-understand language in their reports. Overly technical medical terms are harder to understand!"

What they meant was that you wouldn't understand even if they explained it to you!

"Hmph!" The Emperor Emeritus glared at Jingxue.

When the Empress Dowager saw that the Emperor Emeritus was speechless after being confronted by Jingxue, she felt much better. What a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Physician Fu, standing to the side, was sweating for Jingxue. As for Ye Muchen, he pursed his lips, wanting to laugh, but Jingxue's small mouth was so sharp that most people couldn't argue with her.

Jingxue didn't care about the Emperor Emeritus's attitude. She turned to the imperial physician and said, "Imperial Physician Fu, let's adjust the prescription according to what we discussed. Take it for three days, and then have your pulse checked again. How about that?"

"This humble official will obey Her Highness the Princess's orders," Physician Fu replied respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Hey! No way! I'm not often in the palace. I'm just offering my own advice! Whoever is right, just listen to them."

Physician Fu was so frightened by Jingxue's words that he dared not say anything. This princess really dared to say anything, and she didn't care who was right or who was right. He didn't want his head.

"Then this humble official will return to the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine for tomorrow. This humble official will take his leave!" Physician Fu bowed to the other masters and took his leave before leaving with his medicine box.

Jingxue concluded by saying, "Please take care, Imperial Physician!"

Old Man Fu almost twisted his ankle because of her, but luckily a young medicine boy helped him up, and he quickly left Shou Kang Palace by the boy's hand.

It was rare for the Emperor Emeritus to be out for so long, but when he looked at Jingxue, he was reminded of the things in her shop, so he said, "Third son's wife, have you acquired any new gadgets lately?"

Jingxue: What is this old man going to knock on this time?

There was no other way but to take out a little cutie from the medicine box.

"Father, this is a new box brought back by the caravan. It can sing and tell jokes!"

The Emperor Emeritus's eyes lit up. "Bring it to me!"

"Yes!"

Jingxue said, "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, I want to listen to a song!"

"The peach leaves are so pointed, and the willow leaves cover the sky. You wise old man in this position, listen carefully to what I have to say..." Teacher Guo's loud voice rang out.

Now, not only the Emperor Emeritus, but even the Empress Dowager leaning against the bed was drawn to the attention. "Xue'er, are there any other operas we can listen to?"

Jingxue said, "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, I want to listen to the opera!"

"Recalling those days, tears still flow. A beautifully decorated pavilion and embroidered ball brought a perfect match. Pinggui surrendered to the Red-Haired Warrior, and the Tang Emperor rewarded you by appointing you as the Governor-General..."

Just as everyone was listening with great interest, the Emperor Emeritus suddenly said, "Little Meng, Little Meng, come back to the palace with me!"

The music stopped abruptly, and a childish voice said, "Sorry! I didn't hear you clearly, Master, please say it again!"

Jingxue giggled, "Father, you can only make it play sounds, it can't do anything else!"

The retired emperor snatched the little cutie into his arms and said, "I'm leaving! Back to the palace!"

The old man at the door flicked his whisk and quickly followed.

Jingxue almost reached out Erkang's hand. Who says a nice old man acts like this? Humph! What will you do when the little thing runs out of power?

Turning his head, he saw the Empress Dowager leaning back on the soft quilt with regret.

Ye Muchen also noticed his mother's expression. "Xue'er, are there any more of that little thing? Can you give one to your mother?"

"There's one more, I secretly saved it for Mother! Humph! Don't think Father can run away so fast! He'll be coming for us in less than two days."

The Empress Dowager finally smiled. "Xue'er is the best! So thoughtful! How did you know your father..."

Jingxue tilted her head slightly, a half-smile on her face, her eyes revealing a sly glint, looking like a clever little fox. "Mother, that little thing gets tired of singing and then it stops singing. We need to put it outside to bask in the sun, then it will be full of energy again. Let's not tell Father, let's see if he gets anxious! Hehe!"

"Oh! So that's how it is! Then hurry up and get it for the Empress Dowager!" the Empress Dowager said anxiously.

"Okay!" Jingxue took out a small darling from the medicine box and handed it to the Empress Dowager.

Ye Muchen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes sparkling with doting affection. Looking at Jingxue's quirky and clever appearance, his heart was filled with joy, and his face showed a gentle expression like a spring breeze.

People are really strange sometimes. Once you fall in love with someone, you find everything they do pleasing and agreeable. Ye Muchen has experienced this firsthand.

His mother was not feeling well, and it was not advisable for him to stay for long, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you should rest more. Your son will take his leave!"
