At nine o’clock, Mei Ji came over.
The moment she entered the courtyard, she saw the three little ones sitting in a row on the threshold, holding the small milk bottle and drinking milk.
This was the first time she had seen such a strange water bag. This was not the main point. The main point was that her three young husbands were too cute.
She walked over with a smile and pinched their faces one by one.
The three little ones drank their milk immersively and did not move.
Mei Ji walked to the stone table and said to Zhuge Qing, who was playing chess alone again, “Sir, get into the carriage first. I’ll help you move your things.”
Zhuge Qing had just pinched a chess piece with her slender fingers when he paused and asked, ‘What carriage?”
“The carriage outside! Moving!” Mei Ji said. “Every time Sir’s residence is discovered, you will immediately move away. This time should be no exception, right? Although that person is Sir’s brother, I think Sir doesn’t seem willing to pay attention to him.”
Zhuge Qing looked at the three little packrats sitting on the steps drinking milk.
The boys seemed to sense something and looked at him.
Their eyes met.
The three little ones walked over and blinked at him.
Mei Ji said, “Sir, get in the carriage! ”
The three little ones looked at the carriage at the door and thought that they were going out to play. They grabbed the small milk bottle and climbed up.
Zhuge Qing was speechless.
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao entered the Western Jin Imperial Palace in the carriage sent by Eunuch He.
The overall architectural style of the Western Jin Imperial Palace was not much different from the Great Zhou. It was just that the climate was dry, and the flowers and plants were not as beautiful as the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
“Madam Wei, are you used to staying in Western Jin?” Eunuch He smiled and spoke to Su Xiaoxiao as ge led the way.
“The climate is a little dry,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “There’s wind and sand in many places. In a day, the roof of the carriage can shake off two catties of sand.” Eunuch He was amused by her.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “But the mutton here is better than the those in Great Zhou. I like it very much.”
Eunuch He saw from her figure that she was not the kind of person who said that she liked to eat, but was actually unwilling to eat more.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Eunuch He, why did His Majesty summon me to the palace today? Is it convenient to reveal a thing or two?”
He smiled and said, “His Majesty didn’t give details. He only asked us to invite
General Wei and Madam Wei to the palace as guests.”
Compared to the previous two times of alienation and scrutiny, Eunuch He’s attitude towards was clearly much friendlier.
It seemed that it was indeed not a bad thing.
Eunuch He brought Su Xiaoxiao to a pavilion in the imperial garden.
The autumn air was refreshing, the wind was gentle, and the scenery in the garden was pleasant.
The Western Jin Emperor was playing chess with Wei Ting. Su Xiaoxiao heard the Western Jin emperor’s happy laughter from afar. “The younger generation will surpass us. I lost! I’m convinced!” Eunuch He reported, “Your Majesty, Madam Wei is here.”
“Oh?” The Western Jin Dynasty’s emperor looked over with a smile on his face.
“Come and sit.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked forward and bowed. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
The Western Jin emperor smiled and said, “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Sit.”
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside Wei Ting.
The Western Jin Emperor asked amiably, “How’s Yi’er’s condition?”
“The young royal prince has already passed the critical period. When the scabs fall off, the smallpox will recover.”
“That’s good, that’s good!” The Western Jin Emperor thought of something and asked, “Will there be any sequelae?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Not if he doesn’t scratch it.”
The scabs that fell off on their own would also leave some marks, but that level could be completely faded and eliminated.
The Western Jin Emperor smiled and said, “Fortunately, we met Madam Wei, so Yi’er was saved. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have to send my son off.”
A young eunuch walked forward with two boxes.
The Western Jin Emperor gave Eunuch He a look.
Eunuch He opened the first one. It was filled with gold bars.
The royal family of the Western Jin was not like the Great Zhou. Their family background was rich and the national treasury was filled. They were really rich.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.
The Western Jin Emperor pointed at the gold and said, “These are Yi’er’s consultation fees.”
Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and said seriously, “Her Highness has already paid the consultation fee.”
The Western Jin Emperor smiled. “Just treat it as a reward from me.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting. Wei Ting said, “Take it.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Su Xiaoxiao accepted it generously.
Eunuch He placed the second box of gold on the table.
Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “Wait, one box is a reward, so the second box is…”
The Western Jin Emperor looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, “I have a presumptuous request. Since Madam Wei is a divine doctor who can treat smallpox, I want to ask Madam Wei to treat another patient for me. This is only the deposit. If he is cured, I will give you a generous reward..”
