Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Following the queen to the queen's bedroom, Shen Huaixu felt the pulse of the queen after she had changed her clothes.

"The empress thinks too much on weekdays, which leads to stagnation of liver qi and insomnia at night. Taking medicine, acupuncture and soothing incense can all help you sleep. But in the end, it is up to the empress to adjust her mood. Don't overthink and overthink. After all, medicine is the third ingredient. It’s poison, and acupuncture is not a long-term solution.”

The queen smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that she had taken note of it.

Aunt Yao was a little disappointed. These were the same as what the imperial physician said. The sleeping incense was of little use to the empress. She just wanted her to sleep peacefully for a while.

"Empress, I will use acupuncture to help you sleep for a while. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. You have to sleep for a while."

Seeing that the queen had taken off her clothes, Shen Huaixu stabbed the needle into the queen's head and chest. After a while, the queen's eyelashes gradually dropped and finally closed.

"Aunt Yao, I will pull out the needle when the time comes. Please ask someone to light the soothing incense so that the queen can wake up."

When Aunt Yao saw the Queen sleeping with her brows straightened, she smiled and knelt down to Shen Huaixu and thanked her softly.

The imperial doctors in the palace were all men, so it was inconvenient to administer acupuncture to help with sleep, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious.

Shen Huaixu and Shen Su had lunch together in the palace. After lunch, the emperor and the queen still couldn't wake up, and the father and daughter could not stay in the palace for too long, so they returned to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion first.

The news of Marquis Xuanping's visit to the capital spread throughout the capital in one day. Many people recalled the life of this idle Marquis in their minds, and finally shook their heads in disapproval.

Marquis Xuanping has been suffering from illness for a long time. What kind of disturbance can he cause even if he comes to the capital?

Some people subtly sensed the emperor and queen's attitude towards Xuanpinghou, as well as the news that Xuanpinghou had recovered from his illness.

At that time, there were so many people delivering greeting cards to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Shen Su was used to being idle. He had experienced life and death and had no desire for money, power or other matters, so he only glanced at the invitation sent by Lidong. All posts were rejected.

"Master Hou, don't you want to read it before you say anything?" Lidong's head was sweating coldly. Some of these posts were from people who could be ranked high in Beijing.

The capital has always been filled with nobles and nobles, and it is easy to imagine that those who can be ranked high are not easy to mess with.

Shen Su looked away from the chessboard in front of him and took a moment to glance at him, "I am just a free prince. What do you do with them? You get into trouble for nothing."

Lidong understood.

The master's free-spirited prince is addicted to it.

"My subordinate understands, so I'll push it all away."

"Wait a minute." Shen Su stopped Lidong who was about to leave, "I'll take Miaomiao around the capital tomorrow and make some arrangements in advance."

"Yes."

In Shen Huaixu's yard, Xiaoman picked up the chubby Futuan and complained: "Miss, this cat disappeared without a trace after you left. Shuangjiang and I couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked for it. It appeared as soon as you came back. , it’s really strangely tight.”

Shen Huaixu and Fu Tuan looked at each other and quickly moved away, "That's how it is in Jiuxi Village. Don't worry about it. It will come back when it's hungry."

While the father and daughter were having dinner, news came from the palace that the emperor had woken up once in the evening and was in much better spirits than before.

"Miaomiao is using the medicine that was given to dad before?"

On the way back, Shen Su only asked Shen Huaixu if she had treated His Majesty. He did not know how she treated His Majesty.

"Yes. It's the medicine I told you about before. There are only three bottles. I used one to treat my mute disease, one for you, and the last one was given to Your Majesty."

Shen Su knew the magic of that medicine. He nodded, "It's okay. Leaving such a magical thing in your hands will cause trouble sooner or later. If you want to sleep tomorrow, just sleep a little longer. When you wake up, daddy I’ll take you around the capital.”

Shen Huaixu raised a smile and said, "I know, daddy."

The next day, Shen Huaixu woke up to the long and high-pitched dawn drums and the deep and distant ringing of bells. She buried her face in the soft quilt, rubbed it, and opened her eyes.

There are many temples inside and outside the imperial city. The morning bells are rung from various temples. As for the dawn drums, they start from the imperial palace and are followed by the drum towers in the capital.

These are all things her father told her.

After breakfast, the father and daughter took a carriage together and arrived at the most prosperous Imperial Street.

A huge imperial city seemed to be isolated from natural and man-made disasters outside. The Imperial Street was bustling with traffic and people were buzzing, making it look like a peaceful and peaceful time.

The father and daughter first went to buy some wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings, and some novel gadgets, and then went to the jewelry shop.

The various gold and silver jewelry were so exquisite and pretty that even Shen Huaixu couldn't help but look at them for a while, and finally selected a few items and asked her father to pay.

[Host, there is a girl over there who keeps looking towards you two. 】 Fu Tuan reminded.

Shen Huaixu felt it, and she didn't hide her gaze. She glanced at it inadvertently. The girl was wearing a power fence on her head, so she couldn't see clearly. She didn't feel her malice, so she didn't care.

With the help of the power barrier, Yi Qian looked openly at the father and daughter not far away. She glanced at Shen Su's increasingly gentle expression when he spoke to the young lady beside him, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot.

"What are you looking at, young lady?"

The maid next to her noticed something strange, looked over and saw a man and a cute little lady.

"Nothing, go and buy the face that you just fell in love with."

With just a quick glance, the maid couldn't see any clues, so she had no choice but to follow the instructions and buy the leader.

At this time, Shen Huaixu and the others were about to leave.

When Yi Qian saw it, she felt disappointed in her heart. She bit her lip, but in the end she couldn't muster the courage to step forward.

Shen Huaixu didn't know that someone was secretly interested in her father after just one glance. After walking around for a long time, she was discussing with her father about trying the delicious food in the capital.

The emperor's condition got better day by day, and three days later the father and daughter were summoned to the palace by an oral order.

When I saw the emperor again, he was much better than when he first met him. His cyanotic lips were still a little pale, but his sallow complexion looked much better, and his cloudy vision became a little clearer.

This time he was wearing a yellow robe, and he had an air of calmness and authority all over his body. The queen also sat beside him with a smile on her lips.

Standing nearby were several ministers in official uniforms.

"Huizhi, is this little girl the child you always talked about before she was born?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter's name is Shen Huaixu, and her nickname is Miaomiao. She is the daughter Weichen just found a few days ago."

He waved to Shen Huaixu, "Come on, come forward."

When Shen Huaixu approached, he couldn't help but sigh: "My eyebrows are very similar to yours."

He said softly to Shen Huaixu: "You have done a good job in saving me and the Queen this time. What reward do you want?"

Shen Huaixu looked hesitant and turned to look at the Queen on the side. When she saw the Queen nodded slightly, she asked in a low voice: "Can I give you any reward?"

The emperor was amused by her troubled expression and said, "Just say it."

Shen Huaixu took a step back and knelt down, "I once fled from Huai'an Prefecture to Chongming Prefecture. What I saw along the way were the sufferings of the people caused by natural disasters. I sincerely ask your Majesty to use the rewards given to me to benefit the people. "
