After Emperor Shun De left, the Xia family's legs were still a bit unruly.

"It scared me to death!" Xia Jinheng was the first to break the silence, "So this is the emperor, he has two noses and one eye just like us!"

"Huh? Fourth uncle, two noses and one eye? Isn't that a monster?" Xia Zhizhi asked with a smile.

Xia Jinheng smiled awkwardly, "Yes, it's the other way around. He has two eyes and one nose, but he felt scary. I didn't even dare to look up because I didn't know what he looked like."

Xia Jinjun smiled. Fortunately, his sister left in time, otherwise he would not be able to explain what was going on.

The rest of the people thought so too, of course, they just thought it was a coincidence.

After all, Xia Jinxiu did buy something.

Everyone went to see General Wei first, and Mrs. Xia happened to be there too.

They are all members of the family, so naturally they will talk about whatever they have.

"Sister Qing, if I have something to say, just say it."

Mrs. Xia nodded, "Go ahead."

"Just now, the emperor praised Jinxiu for her delicious snacks. I looked at you as if you were very nervous and a little unhappy. Your emperor praised Jinxiu for her cleverness and dexterity. How could you say that Jinxiu is stupid and ugly?"

Old General Wei was not a fool, "Are you still worried that the Emperor will fall in love with Jinxiu because of this?"

Mrs. Xia's expression changed slightly. She was worried, but she didn't dare to admit it. How shameless it was. "I was being modest. Besides, there are many beautiful women in front of the emperor. Compared with them, my family's beauty is beautiful." What the hell, a girl from the countryside will lose her life if she sees the emperor is nervous and says the wrong thing, making him unhappy."

Wei Jianqing laughed after hearing this, "Aunt Qing, the emperor is not as scary as you said, and I think Sister Jinxiu is more beautiful than the concubines in the palace."

"Yes, second brother!"

However, when Wei Jianqing saw that the faces of the Xia brothers were not very good, he smiled awkwardly.

General Wei heard Mrs. Xia's worries and respected her even more.

Other people would be extremely happy if they knew that their daughter was praised by the emperor, but that was not the case for Sister Qing's family.

It’s still Sister Qing who knows how to teach children and doesn’t admire power.

When Xia Jinxiu came back, she said the same thing. She was also not at all happy about Emperor Shun De's appreciation, but also seemed to be impatient.

She didn't want to rush to death.

After Emperor Shunde returned to the palace, he originally wanted to go back to the imperial study, but in the end he went to see the Queen Mother.

Coincidentally, Wen Heng was also there.

It was rare that he didn't have a cold face, but it wasn't like he did to his other sons.

Wen Heng didn't want to see him either. He wanted to run away when he found an opportunity, but he didn't want to be stopped by Emperor Shun De.

"stop."

Wen Heng paused and said, "Father."

"Have you met in private with General Wei?"

Wen Heng's heart was startled. He knew that his father disliked the princes' friendship with powerful ministers. "Yes."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Shunde asked again. He was imposing and not angry.

Wen Heng didn't move his mind, he just told the truth. At this time, whenever he wanted to clear up the relationship, it would be superfluous.

So, he told everything about helping the Xia family and General Wei recognize each other, without hiding anything.

There was no point in hiding it. After all, his father already knew everything by asking him.

After hearing this, Emperor Shun De nodded slightly, "So, it was someone from the Xia family who cured your imperial grandmother?"

Wen Heng nodded, "Yes!"

"which one?"

When Wen Heng heard what he said, he knew that he had met the Xia family.

Xia Zhi knew medical skills, but he was young and had never studied it seriously, so it was a bit unbelievable to say it.

Xia Jinqing is of the right age and is studying medicine, so it is quite convincing to say it out loud.

But in the end, Wen Heng chose to tell the truth.

For no other reason, since the Queen Mother was here, if she lied at this time, she would also doubt whether her sincerity towards him was mixed with something. Secondly, as long as his father sent someone to test her, Xia Jinqing would reveal the truth.

In that case, it would not be a good thing for either himself or the Xia family.

"That little girl?" Emperor Shun De's questioning voice became a little louder.

Almost no one in the Xia family looked up at him, probably because they didn't dare, just like most people.

But that little girl really took a peek at herself.

He was not angry, he just thought that the girl was young and it was her first time in Beijing and she didn't know the rules.

But after hearing what Wen Heng said, Emperor Shun De carefully recalled the expression on the little girl's face. Even if he found himself looking at him, he was not afraid.

"She is only three years old."

"It's four years after the New Year." Wen Heng said.

"Okay, even if he is four years old, the Xia family has not been practicing medicine for generations. Even if he is, how can a four-year-old baby have such ability? Can he determine your imperial grandmother's illness without even diagnosing her pulse?"

The Queen Mother was sweating as she watched, "I was quite surprised when I first learned about it. The imperial doctors in the palace couldn't compare to a child."

Emperor Shun De looked at his mother, "Have you known this for a long time?"

"I know!" The Queen Mother smiled, "Heng'er has never hidden anything from me. You are always so cruel, and even the children dare not tell you."

Emperor Shun De cleared his throat, still a little unbelievable.

"Mother, the Xia family happens to be in the capital now. Since the child has cured your illness, why not invite her to the palace? I haven't rewarded her properly yet."

The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Heng. Wen Heng said nothing. He knew that any words he spoke now would be in vain.

"Your Majesty, rewards are allowed, but the Xia family keeps a low profile. If they were really greedy for rewards, why would they wait until now?"

Emperor Shunde nodded, "What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true. Then I will tell people to keep quiet. It just so happens that you have been taking medicine for a while. Let the girl come over and take a look to see if you are completely healed."

Wen Heng remained calm and composed, reflecting his father's suspicious character.

Wen Heng knew that, and the Queen Mother naturally knew her son's character, "Well, it just so happened that the Ai family also wanted to see that girl. I heard Heng'er said she was interesting. After Princess Huayang married away, the palace of the Ai family was also deserted. A lot."

"If the Queen Mother likes it, then what's the harm in letting that girl come often?" Emperor Shun De said.

"They are both parents' darlings, so she still has to go back."

The Queen Mother took a look and found that Emperor Shun De's expression was wrong, "Is it possible that you don't want Wei Rong to retire and return to his hometown? If so, it is possible for that girl to stay in the capital."

Emperor Shun De curled his lips and said, "Wei Rong said that he was old and frail. Although he won the battle this time, he almost lost his life. He also said that he was deaf, blind, and slow to react. He was afraid that if I kept him, he would You can no longer fight off powerful enemies for me."

When he said this, he kept looking at Wen Heng.

Wen Heng felt uneasy, wondering if General Wei had told him about his plans.

But think about it, although General Wei doesn't like to make friends, he is not a naive person, let alone talkative, right?
