On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

"I heard that the Jiang family's found daughter has hired many maids to teach her, and she has made rapid progress. She is no longer the bumpkin she used to be." Li Qing's voice was a little lazy, but it couldn't hide the majesty of a superior. "In that case, come over here and show me your needlework skills, how about that?"

Jiang Shihuan lowered her head slightly and bowed. Although she felt unwilling in her heart, she dared not show it on her face. She could only obediently walk towards the embroidery frame beside her.

Jiang Yanwan observed all this carefully, secretly calculating in her mind.

"Princess, how is the effect of the prescription I prescribed for you last time?" Jiang Yanwan spoke at the right time, trying to change the subject.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing showed a rare gentle smile on her face, "Oh, that prescription is amazing. It cured the problem that has troubled me for a long time with just one dose. I got my period after taking just one dose of the medicine. Your medical skills are truly amazing."

Jiang Yanwan shook her head slightly and said modestly, "My princess, you are too kind. Doctors are kind-hearted. It is my honor to be able to relieve your worries."

"In that case, I have an idea." Li Qing's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "If your medical skills can always be with me, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? I intend to let you stay in the palace and serve as a female medical officer."

When these words came out, not only Jiang Shihuan's body shook slightly, but even Jiang Yanwan was stunned.

Becoming a female physician in the palace is an opportunity that many doctors dream of, but...

She raised her head and looked at the princess. "I am grateful for your kindness. But I am engaged to the King of Jin, so I need to think about this matter carefully."

Li Qing frowned slightly when she heard this, as if she was not satisfied with the answer. "Engagement? How come I don't know about it?"

"It was a private agreement between Prince Jin and my father, and it has not yet been officially announced." Jiang Yanwan told him frankly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Li Qing pondered for a moment, as if weighing something, "I see. Marriage is a matter of mutual affection, so why force it if it's not what you want?"

Jiang Yanwan felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect Li Qing to be so considerate.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jiang Shihuan suddenly put down the needle and thread in her hands, walked quickly to them with a complicated expression.

"Princess, forgive me for being blunt, but my sister is actually not willing to marry into the palace."

Although this engagement was verbally agreed upon by the Jiang family and Prince Jin, it would still be a happy event if Jiang Yanwan's worry could be resolved through the eldest princess.

Li Qing's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally landed on Jiang Yanwan. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, "Oh? Why is that?"

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and looked determined, "Princess, sister is right. I am not interested in staying within the walls, and I don't want to be anyone's subordinate. I hope to travel the world with my medical skills and help more people in need."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess curled up her lips into a meaningful smile.

"What an ambitious woman! I admire your courage and determination. In this case, I will not force you. But remember, the palace door is always open to you. As for this engagement, I will also help you find a way to cancel it."

"Thank you, Princess, for your help. I will keep it in mind." Jiang Yanwan bowed, her words full of sincerity.

Deep inside the imperial palace, in the magnificent hall, Li Qing walked slowly among the carved dragons and painted buildings.

She was thinking about how to propose the marriage to the emperor in a way that would not appear abrupt but would achieve her goal cleverly.

Finally, she stepped into the emperor's study, only to see the emperor buried in a mountain of memorials, his brows revealing an unconcealable fatigue.

"Royal brother, how are you these days?" Li Qing greeted softly, with a hint of concern in her words.

The emperor looked up and saw that it was his beloved sister. His expression softened immediately. "Qing'er is here. Come quickly and talk to your brother."

Li Qing walked closer as instructed, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over the heavy state affairs, and she sighed inwardly.

She opened her red lips and said slowly, "Brother, do you remember the Qi lady Zhongli Chun in the Biographies of Women? Although she was not beautiful, she helped King Xuan of Qi govern the country with her talent and wisdom, and eventually became a wise queen. But if King Xuan of Qi had not recognized her talent, she might have been trapped in the countryside and remained unknown all her life."

The emperor's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he had understood the implication of Li Qing's words, "Qing'er is right. Marriage without mutual love is a great regret in life."

"That's right." Li Qing seized the opportunity and continued, "Now, there is a woman by my side who is talented and ambitious, but because of a marriage contract, she may be bound within the walls of the palace and unable to spread her wings and fly. Brother, are you willing to see such a tragedy happen again?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something. "Qing'er, what you are talking about is..."

"Jiang Yanwan is a remarkable woman with a kind heart like a doctor, but her father wants to marry her to Prince Jin for power." Li Qing spoke bluntly with a firm gaze.

The emperor nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "Qing'er, you have always been measured in your actions. If this matter is really as you said, I will not sit idly by. But canceling the engagement involves the reputation of the royal family, so it must be handled with caution."

Li Qing felt relieved, knowing that the situation had taken a turn for the better. "Brother, you are wise. Qing'er believes that you will make the best arrangements."

A few days later, an imperial edict came from the sky. In the Prince of Jin's mansion, Prince Jin had a complicated expression when he received the edict.

In the imperial edict, the emperor put the overall interests of the country first and said that in view of Jiang Yanwan's outstanding contributions to medicine, he specially invited her to work as a female medical officer in the palace and she was not allowed to get married within three years.

The moment Jiang Yanwan received the imperial edict, she felt indescribably complicated.

On the one hand, she was glad to be able to get rid of the loveless engagement; on the other hand, she knew that entering the palace would mean placing herself in a more complicated power struggle.

However, she was willing to accept the challenge.

Soon after entering the palace, Jiang Yanwan began to take on her new duties. Not only did she treat the illnesses and injuries of the concubines and maids in the palace, she also used her free time to carefully study various herbal formulas.

One day, when she was sorting medicinal herbs, she accidentally discovered a rare herb whose roots were rich in nourishing ingredients and were especially beneficial to the skin.

Inspiration struck her and she decided to try to create a special skin care powder.

After countless experiments and improvements, a beauty secret called "Wanyan Powder" was finally born.

This powder is as fine as silk. When applied lightly on the cheeks, it can not only make the skin tender but also reduce blemishes with remarkable effect.

Jiang Yanwan personally presented the "Wanyan Powder" to the eldest princess and carefully taught her how to use it.

Li Qing tried it out with half-belief. The next morning, when she stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her brand new face in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

"Yan Wan, your 'Wan Yan Powder' is truly magical. Overnight, I seem to have become several years younger."

Li Qing's joy was beyond words, and her eyes were shining with an unprecedented brilliance.
