The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The Kang family made a big fuss, and the Princess's Mansion did not give in easily.

Even though Xiyue is just a servant, she is also the princess's treasure.

The princess had long since returned her indenture to Xiyue and was deregistered as a slave in the government.

Not only that, she was a disciple of Shen Yuanshi, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and was also a disciple of Madam Anguo, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. She was also a gynecologist taught by Madam Meng herself.

Let's put it this way, she knows everything about difficult and complicated diseases, and can handle daily ailments and gynecological diseases. Not to mention other things, during the earthquake, she delivered several women with difficult labors.

If she had not learned Madam Meng's unique technique, it would have been a luxury to hear "mother and child are safe" when giving birth under such difficult conditions.

Xiyue played a big role in the earthquake rescue, saving lives day and night. After the earthquake, officials were rewarded, and one of the special cases was to promote Xiyue to the eighth-rank female official in the Imperial Hospital, serving as a clerk, and she would take up the post when she returned to Beijing.

Although it was only an eighth-rank position, there were only two women in the Northern Wing who had served as officials before, one was Madam Lingyun and the other was Madam Anguo.

Both women were able to become officials because of their significant contributions to the Northern Wing. Xiyue was the third woman in the Northern Wing to become an official, a height that many women could hardly reach.

Although Xiyue was not born into a powerful family, one day, with unremitting efforts, she might become a powerful person step by step.

And the princess is her backer. The princess said that as long as Xiyue gets married, she will pay for the dowry. The princess's mansion is Xiyue's natal home.

This hidden identity is enviable even for a rich and powerful woman. How can it be compared with those relatives of the Kang family who beat around the bush?

Doctor Kang, whose name was Chen Yan, was born out of wedlock and was not valued by the Kang family. When he was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, his stepmother did not think of arranging a marriage for him.

Even if she values ​​him now, it is only because his stepmother wants to push the illegitimate daughter of a distant relative to him.

So from the surface, there is nothing wrong with the marriage between Kang Chenyan and Xiyue.

Kang Chenyan himself said, "I am marrying above my station, Miss Xiyue."

However, Kang Chenyan's sincere proposal was not only blocked by the Kang family, but also made things difficult for the Princess' Mansion.

The princess asked twice: "I wonder what Doctor Kang likes about Xiyue? Do you have a cousin?"

Kang Chenyan's forehead was sweating from being asked, and he answered the first question first, "Miss Xiyue is smart and patient, thoughtful, nimble, and kind-hearted. These are all excellent qualities of Miss Xiyue. But these merits are not the reason why I propose marriage. I... can't explain the reason, but I feel that if I can marry Miss Xiyue and accompany her for the rest of my life, my life will be complete."

This was said implicitly, but in fact he was attracted to Miss Xiyue and felt at ease and happy when she was with him.

Once the princess asked her husband the same question, "What do you like about me?"

The prince consort answered her patiently and said that there was actually no reason to like someone.

When you meet this person, no matter whether she is good or bad, prosperous or miserable, you want to be with her.

Only when I am with her can I feel happy.

Kang Chenyan's answer coincided with that of the prince consort, and the princess was very satisfied.

As for the second strange question, Kang Chenyan said, "To answer the princess' question, I have many cousins ​​in my family. I wonder what the princess means?"

The princess asked repeatedly, "You have many cousins, but none of them caught your eye? Are there any you love but cannot get? Are there any you are separated from? Are there any you still have a connection with? Are there any you secretly love each other with? Are there any you who, after getting married, want to take a cousin as a concubine and then raise her as a co-wife?"

Kang Chenyan had expected to be challenged, but he had never expected to be challenged this hard. What kind of weird questions are these?

Kang Chenyan didn't even need to think about it and answered firmly, "Princess, no. I am devoted to medicine and have never had anything to do with my cousin or any other woman."

The barracks are full of men, so where are the girls? If there is any contact with the opposite sex, there will only be female animals.

After the initial test, the princess was satisfied, and so were the sisters around Xiyue.

In the second test, the princess asked, "What is the relationship between the Kang family in the capital and your Kang family in Youzhou?"

Kang Chenyan replied, "Our Youzhou Kang family was originally the main branch, and our family has been military doctors for generations. Later, after the branch came to Beijing, many uncles worked in the Imperial Hospital. Due to some family conflicts, the two branches have not had much contact since the previous generation."

The princess nodded, "So if my Xiyue marries you, she will have to settle in Youzhou and join your Kang family?"

Kang Chenyan obviously hadn't thought that far ahead, and couldn't answer for a long time. He wasn't so anxious at first, but he panicked when he saw the princess and her group were about to set off.

Xiyue was already eighteen years old. With her outstanding achievements, she would be the object of competition among some wealthy families after returning to Beijing. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he would miss a good marriage opportunity.

Seeing that he could not answer, the princess said, "I will keep you in Youzhou for another three days. After three days, you can come to the princess's mansion to answer."

Three days later, Kang Chenyan brought the official media to the princess's mansion to answer questions.

This time, Kang Chenyan was more confident. "In reply to the princess, I have obtained my grandfather's consent to settle in the capital." But he was a little nervous about the following words. "With my rank, I can take a long vacation in the capital once every two years. But it will be hard for Miss Xiyue..."

He dared not say the rest. He would go to the capital every two years, and during the long break he could work in the Imperial Hospital. But when the war broke out, he had to rush to the battlefield at any time.

This is his mission and his responsibility.

The princess's long silence made Kang Chenyan's already uneasy heart even more uneasy.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and add, "I have no intention of taking a concubine, but I promise to marry only Miss Xiyue."

"Anything else?" The princess smiled, waiting for him to add more.

"Also..." Kang Chenyan thought of something else after being reminded by the official media, "All my salary is handed over to my legitimate wife. Oh, yes, my aunt died early, and my father and legitimate mother are both in Youzhou..."

The implication is that Xiyue will be the mistress of the house after she gets married, and she doesn't need to serve her parents-in-law or be bound by rules set by her elders.

The princess asked again, "I heard that your stepmother wants to marry her distant niece to you. Is this true?"

"Three days ago, I rushed to the Hukoushan military camp to find my grandfather. With his personal consent, I can make the decision on my own, and no one can interfere. My stepmother is angry now..." Kang Chenyan paused and spoke very firmly, "but she can't do anything to me."

At that time, Anxia saw Kang Chenyan, who looked energetic but had a frosted face, dark circles under his eyes, stains on his clothes, and mud on his shoes, looking extremely disheveled.

We really have to travel all night!

"Doctor Kang, have you been awake for three days and three nights?"

Kang Chenyan bowed deeply, "Princess, you delayed your departure for three days for me. This is a great opportunity and favor for me. I will work hard to solve the unresolved problems."
