Chapter 71: Your Majesty, I am here

Hua Fei said: "It's okay. My brother has sent some good guards to escort him all the way. I think he can reach the capital before the New Year."

Shen Meizhuang said: "You can't mobilize so many troops just for my selfish reasons. I think we should just forget it."

Some time ago, Shen Meizhuang was very worried about her inability to get pregnant. How come she is no longer anxious now?

Concubine Hua wanted to persuade Shen Meizhuang to wait, but Shen Meizhuang repeatedly said there was no need to wait.

Concubine Hua felt that this matter was strange, but she didn't know why. Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was very persistent, she proposed a plan.

"Well, since my sister is worried about Doctor Chen's safety, I will not rush him. Let him set off when the weather is good. When he arrives in the capital, can he treat my sister again?"

Seeing that Concubine Hua was so concerned about this matter, Shen Meizhuang knew that if she refused again, it would hurt their feelings, so she had no choice but to agree. She calculated the time. It was already very cold in the northwest in November, not to mention that it was early December now. It would take at least a month for Doctor Chen to arrive in the capital.

One month is enough time for Doctor Liu to regulate her body. If she is not feeling well, he can ask Doctor Chen to see her.

The next day, Concubine Qi indeed invited Imperial Physician Liu to come.

After Imperial Doctor Liu took Shen Meizhuang's pulse, he frowned slightly.

Shen Meizhuang's heart immediately rose, "Doctor Liu, how am I doing?"

Doctor Liu hesitated for a moment, "My lady, you are a little ill, so it is not easy for you to get pregnant. But don't worry too much. I will prescribe a prescription for you according to your constitution. When you are well, you will naturally get pregnant."

Shen Meizhuang was very happy to hear this.

"Thank you, Doctor Liu."

"This is the duty of a humble minister."

Doctor Liu wrote a prescription for Shen Meizhuang on the spot. When Shen Meizhuang was about to take it, Doctor Liu grabbed the prescription.

"My lady, this is the medicine I specially prepared for you based on your constitution. You must not show it to others, in case someone with ulterior motives takes it and uses it indiscriminately. After all, everyone's constitution is different. If someone takes the medicine according to this prescription and gets sick, you may be in trouble."

Shen Meizhuang nodded seriously, and when Doctor Liu saw that she agreed, he handed the prescription to her.

After seeing off Imperial Physician Liu, Concubine Qi kept her eyes on the prescription in Shen Meizhuang's hand, as if she wanted to read it.

Shen Meizhuang glanced at Caiyue, who smiled and looked at Concubine Qi, handing over the pot of hot tea in her hand, "Concubine Qi, please have some tea."

Concubine Qi came back to her senses and took the tea from Caiyue's hand, "Lady Shen, your maid is really considerate and delicate."

Shen Meizhuang calmly put the prescription into her sleeve. Concubine Qi lowered her head to drink tea, pretending not to see it.

........

In the afternoon, Shen Meizhuang went to Suiyuxuan and told Zhen Huan about this matter.

Zhen Huan was the most cautious and looked around Shen Meizhuang's house carefully. However, as smart as she was, she didn't understand medical knowledge and couldn't figure out the reason.

"Sister Mei, is this house reliable? Why don't you wait for Doctor Wen to come back and let him take a look?"

"Don't worry, Huan'er. I've asked a reliable person to look at this house. He said there are no major problems."

Zhen Huan was still worried, "Who is the reliable person? Do I know him?"

Shen Meizhuang smiled gently, "He was recommended by the Queen. He happens to be my fellow villager and worked under my father in the early years."

"If that's the case, I think it should be safe." After hearing what Shen Meizhuang said, Zhen Huan finally felt relieved.

Half a month later, the capital city became colder and snow began to fall.

The Queen refused to hang Zhen Huan's nameplate in the Imperial Household Department on the grounds that Zhen Huan's illness had not been completely cured.

The emperor said that this illness was not a big deal and would not affect him. The queen insisted, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Your health is not your own business, but the business of the people of the world. After the New Year, when the weather is not so cold and everything is revived, I will put Zhen Huan's name card in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Seeing that the queen's words were so high-sounding, the emperor could not refute them.

Looking at the signs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor hesitated and didn't know who to choose.

"Your Majesty, you haven't been to Concubine Shen's place for a long time."

According to historical records, Yongzheng was frugal and diligent throughout his life, and he would personally handle all military and political affairs, no matter how big or small. Therefore, he usually went in and out of the harem only a few times.

In order to treat everyone equally, every time he entered the harem, he could not just pick the concubines he liked to favor, but had to change them.

Calculating the time this way, the emperor has not visited Shen Meizhuang for nearly half a month.

Shen Meizhuang is well-read and well-mannered, and has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. The Empress Dowager likes her, and so does the Emperor.

"Since the Queen has said so, I will go to Cun Ju Tang."

Shen Meizhuang has been taking the medicine for half a month. She doesn't know if it's a psychological effect, but she feels that her complexion has improved a lot. Because of this, she has more trust in Doctor Liu's prescription.

"My lady, the emperor is coming to our Suiyuxuan!" Caiyue ran in happily and told Shen Meizhuang about this.

Shen Meizhuang was overjoyed, "The Emperor is really here?"

The Emperor had not visited Shen Meizhuang for half a month. She had thought a few days ago that she had recovered her health, but if the Emperor did not favor her, she would not be able to get pregnant.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came to Cunjutang today.

"Your Highness." Shen Meizhuang tidied herself up a little and went to the door with Caiyue to greet the emperor.

The emperor walked forward, helped Shen Meizhuang up, and looked at her carefully, and found that she had become more beautiful and dignified.

The emperor held Shen Meizhuang's hand and walked into the bedroom with her.

The curtain was drawn, and Shen Meizhuang's clothes fell to the ground...

At night, Shen Meizhuang woke up, walked out and woke up Caiyue.

"Is my medicine ready?"

Caiyue rubbed her eyes and said, "My lady, I have kept the medicine warm in the stove. I will get it for you right now."

After a while, Caiyue brought the bowl of medicine over.

Shen Meizhuang waited for the medicine to cool down a little before drinking it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, Shen Meizhuang handed the medicine bowl to Caiyue, "Remember to deal with it in time, don't let anyone see it."

Caiyue nodded.

Because it was snowing outside and the weather was cold, when Shen Meizhuang returned to the bedroom again, her hands and feet were cold. She didn't dare to get into the bed immediately, so she had to sit on a chair and put on her mink coat to warm herself up first.

But because the weather was so cold, her body was still caught in the cold and Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but sneeze.

The emperor was awakened by the sneeze. He slowly opened his eyes and found that Shen Meizhuang was not by his side.

"Where are you, Noble Lady Shen?" The emperor was a little angry. He was busy with government affairs on weekdays and rarely got a good night's sleep.

He thought that Shen Meizhuang, who was usually dignified and calm, would allow him to sleep peacefully, but he didn't expect to be woken up.

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly walked barefoot to the bed, "Your Majesty, I am here."
