The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Just then, Qin Jing, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, "Sister-in-law, this afternoon I accidentally scraped my hand a little. Could you take a look at it for me?" As he spoke, he quickly stretched out his hand in front of Jingxue.

Jingxue glanced at it casually, then sighed softly and said, "Sigh!"

Seeing this, Qin Jing asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Sister-in-law, I really have a cut!"

Jingxue smiled slightly and replied with a hint of teasing, "The 'sigh' I was referring to wasn't because of the little injury on your hand, but because you're so quick with your mouth! If you had spoken a little later, maybe the cut would have healed by the time you finished!"

Jingxue's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples and causing everyone at the table to burst into laughter.

The restaurant was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and Qin Jing shamelessly joined in the laughter.

Ye Muchen had already put down his chopsticks and looked at Jingxue with doting eyes.

Just then, Ying Si came in to report, "Your Highness, Miss, the Grand Princess and her husband have arrived and are in the main hall!"

Jingxue asked Liqiu and a few other maids to come in and tidy up, while Xiaoman went to make some tea and serve a fruit platter. The others then went to the main hall.

The Grand Princess Ye Muyan came with her husband, who was the heir of the Marquis of Pingyang, named Bai Tingxu. Like the Grand Princess, he had a very low profile in the crowd and didn't talk much.

Upon seeing the group enter, Ye Muyan and the prince consort hurriedly rose and bowed. Ye Muyan said, "Third brother and sister-in-law, we apologize for disturbing you. Fourth brother, Prince Qin, and Young Master Lu are also here!"

"We should visit each other more often, please sit down!" Ye Muchen said and sat down in the main seat first.

Since Ye Muyan had already greeted Jingxue, after exchanging a few words, Jingxue pulled Ye Muyan into her bedroom.

After entering, Ye Muyan bowed to Jingxue. Jingxue didn't understand what she meant by being so polite.

"Third Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. Actually, I've wanted to visit you at your residence for a long time, but I know I can't help. The Prince Consort rarely attends court either. We didn't lend a helping hand when your father had his accident. Please don't blame us."

Jingxue never expected to rely on anyone, so she said, "You're overthinking it. My father's situation is very serious, and no one can help him. It's good enough that you're not kicking him when he's down!"

"Third sister-in-law, how could I do such a thing? Third brother and mother have always treated me very well. My mother was just a minor beauty and passed away early. It's only because Father Emperor has few daughters that I got the advantage and the title of Grand Princess."

"Although my husband's family, the Marquis of Pingyang, is a hereditary title, the old Marquis is bedridden and his health is deteriorating day by day. My husband only has one sister, who is married off to a distant province. Although he is the heir apparent, he has no official rank."

Jingxue understood. This consort was just someone with two titles, and in the future, he would be a leisurely marquis. However, the consort of Beiye could not participate in court affairs. His participation in the reception of the delegation this time was just for show.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. You said you wanted to see me to check your health. Is there anything wrong?" Jingxue said, pulling Ye Muyan down to sit and beginning to take her pulse.

In the morning, Ye Muyan said it was a problem related to women.

Jingxue took her pulse and quickly diagnosed that Ye Muyan had kidney deficiency. Ye Muyan was a few months younger than Ye Musi, only nineteen years old, but she had already given birth to two children, and she had congenital kidney deficiency.

This ancient society was truly a rip-off. Girls who hadn't even fully developed were forced to marry and have children. What nonsense about reaching adulthood at the age of 14 was just outdated and fallacious.

Ye Muyan watched Jingxue nervously, not daring to speak.

"Do you have irregular periods? And heavy flow? Do you experience abdominal pain, feel cold, and need to cover yourself with thick blankets even in summer when you have your period?"

“Yes, Third Sister-in-law, I have all these symptoms, and I even fainted from the pain once,” Ye Muyan nodded and said, looking at Jingxue with concern.

"Didn't you see a doctor?"

"I've seen doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but either my period stops or my abdominal pain and bloating get worse."

Jingxue didn't speak again and continued to take the pulse. She found that Ye Muyan also had a pulse indicating spleen deficiency. This should be because she was overly worried, overeating and overworking, which damaged her spleen.

"Are you not sleeping well? Are you not eating well either?"

Ye Muyan nodded, then showed a delighted expression, "Third sister-in-law, you are amazing! Every time the doctor examines me, I describe these symptoms, but you can tell just by taking my pulse."

Jingxue removed her hand and smiled. "It's not very serious. Besides, you've already taken some medicine. I can treat you with acupuncture and herbal medicine."

"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble! Please write the prescription and I'll send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find the medicinal herbs," Ye Muyan said.

Jingxue shook her head. "What trouble is there for family? You don't need to worry about anything. Just come over every day. You don't need to worry about the medicine either. I'll have someone prepare it for you. There are too many people staying at the East Palace this time..."

“I hope you understand!” Jingxue said meaningfully.

Ye Muyan was taken aback at first, then nodded, "Third Sister-in-law, I understand, thank you!"

"Come on, let me give you acupuncture first. Take off your coat."

“Okay!” Ye Muyan didn’t stand on ceremony and neatly took off her outer dress.

After Jingxue finished acupuncture on Ye Muyan, the two left the bedroom, leaving only Ye Muchen and the Prince Consort chatting in the main hall.

Upon seeing them emerge, the prince consort immediately rose and asked, "Yan'er, how is she?"

Ye Muyan blushed and said, "Third sister-in-law can cure my ailment."

The prince consort immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Third Princess Consort, you've worked hard!"

Although it was only for a short while, Jingxue saw genuine concern on the prince consort's face and developed some goodwill towards him.

"You're too kind! We're all family. I only know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. Please have a seat!"

The prince consort said, "We won't sit here any longer. The child is still in the palace. Although she has wet nurses and nannies to take care of her, Yan'er is still worried. So we'll take our leave! Thank you, Third Princess Consort. We'll come to bother you again another day."

Jingxue didn't try to stop them. She and Ye Muchen escorted them to the palace gate and watched them leave.

Back in the main hall, Xiaoman and the others had already removed the tea and fruit platters.

Jingxue yawned without any regard for her image, and suddenly noticed Ye Muchen smiling at her. She blinked and asked, "Aren't you going back to the Prince's Mansion tonight?"

“It’s so late, the palace gates are already locked, and besides, I have to teach a class all morning tomorrow,” Ye Muchen replied.

Jingxue: Does this mean he's going to stay here?

Ye Muchen then said, "I've already brought my luggage. Can you tell me where I put it?"

"You're not going to share a bed with me, are you?" Jingxue asked Ye Muchen directly.

Ye Muchen didn't expect Jingxue to ask so directly, but he shamelessly said, "It's not impossible. I promise, I won't force you if you don't agree. We can talk late into the night!"

"Pah! Do you think I'm stupid? You believe I'd just chat with you under the covers?" Jingxue rolled her eyes.

"Xue'er, you promised me that we could give each other a chance, get along well, and love each other..."

Jingxue immediately raised a hand. "Stop! Let's not talk about love or romance, let's just talk about a pleasant cooperation, understand? Ye Muchen, there are plenty of rooms in Yichun Palace, you can stay in whichever room you like, I'm going to wash up and go to sleep!"

Ye Muchen didn't dare to hold out much hope, but he still had to try his best.

Finally, Ye Muchen moved in next door to Jingxue.
