Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With a mother like the empress, it was no wonder that the thirteenth princess would be pampered to such an extent.
“Empress, as a female doctor, it is my duty to take care of His Majesty’s health.” Gu Qingxue did not bother to argue with the empress and merely smiled.
Gong Lingyu took in all of this, and she could not help but feel sorry for Gu Qingxue.
Sister Gu had clearly been misunderstood. Now everyone thought that she had used Rong Han to appear at the palace banquet. Such a despicable action would have a great impact on her reputation in the future.
Just as Gong Lingyu was about to say something, everyone saw Rong Zhan take a step forward, take off his cloak, and cover Gu Qingxue with it.
This scene shocked everyone, as well as Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue turned around in surprise and met Rong Zhan’s eyes, which were filled with deep affection.
His gaze was so sincere that she could not help but be stunned.
“How could you be so careless? You even forgot to take your cloak when you got off the carriage.” Rong Zhan’s words sounded like he was complaining, but the way he put on the cloak for Gu Qingxue was full of love.
Although Rong Zhan did not reply to the empress directly, his actions were enough to explain everything.
Who was Rong Zhan? As long as he was not willing, he would not even give face to the empress. Moreover, Gu Qingxue was only a lowly female official. If he had not personally invited her, Gu Qingxue would not have had the right to be here.
“What the empress said is actually not wrong. Today, the fairy will accompany us to the palace. It is the result of my father’s persuasion after a few days of hard work.” As Rong Han spoke, he held Gu Qingxue’s hand affectionately under everyone’s gaze.
“It seems that Sister Gu is really loved by everyone. Grandmother, didn’t you tell me two days ago that Sister Gu t s ointment was effective and that your disease has not acted up for a long time? It can be seen that Sister Gu has put in a lot of effort for my grandmother’s health.” Gong Lingyu said with a smile, holding the empress dowager’s arm.
The empress dowager was already very satisfied with Gu Qingxue. At first, she was still guessing whether Gu Qingxue was invited by Rong Zhan or Rong Han. However, she did not expect that Rong Zhan would invite Gu Qingxue as a woman this time, which made her even more elated.
“Zhan’er, you really surprise me. Bi Zhu, in a moment, go to the palace and bring over the new pair of jade bracelets that I’ve just obtained to give to Miss Gu.” The more the empress dowager looked at Gu Qingxue and Rong Zhan standing together, the more she felt that they were a good match.
The empress stood at the side, maintaining a proper smile on her face, but in reality, she was secretly clenching her fists.
The empress dowager’s new pair of jade bracelets were the best of the best. She had always wanted to ask the empress dowager for a reward, but the empress dowager had always been unwilling. Today, she had given it to Gu Qingxue.
The empress knew very well that the empress dowager was not simply giving her a reward. She was using this matter to warn the empress.
“So that’s how it is. Then 1 misunderstood. Doctor Gu, I also have a pair of good jade hairpins. In a moment, I will send someone to give it to you,” The empress said with a smile.
“Many thanks to the empress dowager, many thanks to the empress.” Gu Qingxue’s expression was calm as she agreed.
“Grandmother, Sister Gu has not been to the imperial garden before. I want to take her for a walk.” Gong Lingyu could not wait to whisper to Gu Qingxue, so she reached out and pulled the empress dowager’s arm, acting like a spoiled child..
