The Young Swordsman of Dalu

The old imperial physician Liang and Liang Feiyan went to the old princess's residence and first reported Wenfei's condition. The old princess was overjoyed to hear this.

"I thank Imperial Physician Liang and Miss Feiyan for their kindness." The old princess was truly grateful.

"Your Highness is too kind. Saving lives is our duty as doctors. Besides, why are we being so polite between our two families?" Physician Liang said with a smile.

"What Imperial Physician Liang said is right, but I feel bad if I don't say thank you," the old princess said uneasily.

Seeing the old princess's worried expression, Liang Feiyan could understand the feelings of a grandmother. A grandson who had grown up without a mother must have been very distressed for her. Although this grandson did not have a good reputation outside, the old princess had put a lot of effort into his upbringing.

"Feiyan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to the old princess." The old imperial physician Liang said to Feiyan, who was in a daze.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Feiyan greets you." Hearing her grandfather's urging, Liang Feiyan quickly stepped forward and bowed to the old princess.

"Feiyan! Come here quickly, let this old woman take a look. Look at this girl, she's grown up so beautifully, she's become more and more lovely." The old princess pulled Liang Feiyan and exclaimed.

Hearing the old princess's praise, Liang Feiyan felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but blush.

"Look how shy this girl is," the old princess said with a smile to the old imperial physician Liang.

"You've grown up," said the old imperial physician Liang, stroking his beard with a smile.

"Our two families are bound by fate. If it weren't for Physician Liang and your son, my Princess and Wenjie might not be here today," the old princess sighed.

"Ah! My dear Princess! The past is too painful to recall! Time flies! The children have all grown up." The old imperial physician Liang sighed as they fell into deep thought.

Nineteen years ago, the Continental Kingdom was beset by internal and external troubles. In order to spare the people of the country from the suffering of war, Prince Wen, who was then the Crown Prince, led a delegation to the Western Regions. At that time, the Crown Prince's wife was not long pregnant when the Crown Prince left the Continental Kingdom. In order to fulfill the important mission of the court, the Crown Prince resolutely left.

When the Crown Princess gave birth, it was a difficult labor, and the entire Prince's mansion was in a panic. In the end, the Princess made a decisive decision and went to the palace to request an imperial decree. The old imperial physician Liang and his son Liang Shixian worked together to save the lives of the Crown Princess and her child.

Upon returning from his mission to the Western Regions, the young master went straight to the Liang residence to express his deepest gratitude to the Liang father and son. Just before returning home, he heard a child crying at the Liang residence.

"There are children in the manor too," the young master asked, voicing his curiosity.

"It's my daughter. I'm sorry to have disturbed you, young master," Liang Shixian said apologetically.

"Not at all! I was just curious about how old your young lady is," the young master asked.

"My daughter just turned three," Liang Shixian said.

"The same age as my son," the young master said excitedly.

“Yes, Your Highness, after my father and I delivered the Crown Princess’s baby, we rushed home to deliver my wife’s baby,” Liang Shixian said.

"What a coincidence, Brother Liang!" the young master said with a smile.

"Where do I begin?" Liang Shixian asked, puzzled.

"Imperial Physician Liang, Brother Liang, look! My son has just been given a new lease on life by you, and now your daughter has arrived. Isn't this fate?" The young master was even more excited.

“I dare not address the Crown Prince of the current dynasty as a brother; it would be a grave disrespect, and His Majesty would reprimand me if he knew,” Liang Shixian said uneasily.

“Brother Liang, there’s no need to worry about this. It’s just a form of address between us. If His Majesty finds out, I will explain it to him myself,” said Prince Wen.

"Your Highness, it would be best to be cautious," said the old imperial physician, Liang.

"What is Imperial Physician Liang worried about? The Crown Prince has always been upright and never bound by such constraints. If anyone dares to gossip, I will certainly not let them off the hook. Imperial Physician Liang and Brother Liang, don't you even ask what kind of fate I'm talking about?" the Crown Prince said with a smile.

"What is it?" the Liang father and son asked in unison.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Look at you two, father and son. How about I arrange for your Liang family to become in-laws?" the young master said with a smile.

"Ah! How can this be?" Liang Shixian asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, you should think this over carefully! Matters concerning children are not to be taken lightly; this decision must be made by the Prince," said the old imperial physician, Liang.

"Imperial Physician Liang, Brother Liang, I, the young master, keep my word. As long as you have no objections, it's settled. I will inform my father when I return to the palace, and I don't think he will object. They can get married after they come of age. At that time, our palace will definitely give your daughter a grand wedding." The young master said excitedly.

“Absolutely not. Our Liang family only has one child. All these years, we’ve only had this one child. I absolutely do not want my daughter to get married,” Liang Shixian said stubbornly.

“Brother Liang, what kind of nonsense is this? You want your daughter to be an old maid if you don’t marry her off now that she’s grown up,” said Prince Wen.

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood my son. He is simply reluctant to part with the child," explained the old imperial physician, Liang.

"So what? At worst, I'll just let my son marry into your household?" The young master regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth.

"Really?" Liang Shixian pressed.

"Really? I keep my word." The young master regretted giving his son away without thinking.

“Your Highness, this is no joke. We should return to the Prince’s residence and discuss this matter with the Prince, Princess, and Crown Princess before making any plans. Our Liang family is also a large clan, and we should also discuss this with them,” said the old imperial physician Liang calmly.

"There's no need to go back to the Prince's residence to discuss it. I, the young master, can make the decision myself. Your family can discuss it, after all, this is a major matter." The young master felt that he had lost face.

Later, the young master returned to the palace and told the prince, princess, and heir apparent about Wenjie's engagement to Liang Feiyan. The prince was furious, accusing him of being arrogant. The princess simply scolded him for being "foolish." The heir apparent and he argued so much that the princess refused to eat or drink for three days before the matter was finally resolved.

The emperor granted the marriage proposal of the Wen and Liang families, and even issued a special decree, which finally calmed things down between the two families.

From then on, the story of Prince Wen's marriage proposal was told for a long time in the Great Lu Kingdom. In the end, it was said that Prince Wen insisted on marrying his son to the Liang family, crying and sobbing. For this, Prince Wen even lost his temper, and the princess mocked him for shooting himself in the foot.

In the evening, Imperial Physician Liang and Liang Feiyan bid farewell to the old princess, who held Liang Feiyan's hand with reluctance.

"Child, come visit this old woman more often. I'm getting old and often miss you little ones. You're of age now, it's time to discuss your marriage with Wenjie."

“Your Highness, we’re not in a hurry,” Liang Feiyan said.

“We old folks are anxious,” the old princess said with a smile.

“Feiyan’s father has been practicing medicine away from home for many years, and he has never been seen. We don’t know when he will return. After all, my son only has this one daughter, so we should wait for him to come back before making any decisions,” said the old imperial physician Liang.

"Alright, then let's wait for Feiyan's father to return before making any plans," said the old princess.

After saying this, Imperial Physician Liang and Liang Feiyan headed back home.
