Chapter 1173: Chapter 934 Truth 14: Suisui Likes These Yellow and White Things the Most_2
"I don’t know about this either, I’m afraid you’d have to ask the Emperor. Back then, when Xiling unexpectedly broke into war, this child stepped forward to offer to replace the Prince in supervising the army. I was quite uncertain about it, never expected that he really managed to extinguish Xiling!"
"Fortunately it was her. If the Prince had gone, let alone extinguishing Xiling, I fear even Xianyu Pass would have been hard to keep."
"What are you talking about?"
"Shh! Grandma, Princess Consort Grandma, don’t speak. I’ll take Princess Consort Grandma’s pulse and see how much fire needs to be used!"
Suddenly, Xiaosuisui interrupted, not letting the two grandmothers speak. Quickly she released the Princess Consort’s hand, nodded, and instructed Yuanyang to go fetch the medicine.
"Just bring it to me. I will refine the elixir, not boil it!"
Yuanyang went ahead, and only then did the Princess Consort dare to speak, "You know how to treat illness and refine elixirs too? So young, you..."
"Don’t underestimate her due to her young age. My body is regulated by her medicine pills. Last year on the Great Hall of Heaven Worship, I managed to hold on until the end only because of them."
Empress Dowager and Princess Consort bore a suspicious look on her face, quickly spoke.
The Princess Consort was startled in her heart; in previous years, Empress Dowager definitely couldn’t hold on for that long, she also forced herself and needed ten days to half a month to recover.
But this year, the Empress Dowager didn’t even find an opportunity to take a break, that she knew.
"Really?"
Empress Dowager nodded.
Beside her, Xie Pan’Er saw that the Princess Consort still didn’t believe Xiaosuisui, so she explained from the side.
"Despite Suisui’s young age, she has learned medical skills from my second brother since childhood, inheriting his true teachings, thus she earns the title of Divine Physician in the Ji Family!"
As Xie Pan’Er spoke, the Princess Consort looked over at her.
"You look like you’re dressed as a noble lady, with attire befitting a Third Grade County Master. Are you Xie Pan’Er, the adopted daughter of Lady Ji?"
"That is my title, Princess Consort, blessings upon you!"
Xie Pan’Er quickly bowed, properly and respectfully.
"This is truly fitting!"
"Princess Consort, pray don’t discuss the meeting gift anymore. It is already a great honor for Pan’Er to have been seen by you.
So many outside wish to see you, yet it is incredibly difficult!
I have seen you today, how could I dare to mention a meeting gift?
If you think of giving me a meeting gift, it would overwhelm me."
Xie Pan’Er entered the palace for the Imperial selection, having learned much about speaking and conducting affairs.
With her eloquent words, the Princess Consort was needless to say very pleased.
"This little mouth speaks well, though she seems not so young, she could participate in the selection?"
Empress Dowager nodded, "She’s included!"
This inclusion has two meanings; one is that she is a candidate.
The other is that she will definitely be selected!
"Oh, so the next time I see her, I’d call her Empress at least!
Have you discussed with the Emperor what rank to bestow?"
The Princess Consort was anxious when she entered the palace today, especially after hearing Xiaosuisui’s nonsense about assassination attempts. Her fear heightened.
Yet somehow, sitting opposite Xiaosuisui and facing Empress Dowager, she felt inexplicably calm.
Instantly, she feared nothing.
Speaking, she forgot all that was said before.
"Regarding rank..."
Empress Dowager hesitated whether to directly speak of Xie Pan’Er having the natural Phoenix Destiny.
Her hesitation made the Princess Consort anxious, so she said, "Empress Dowager, today that I have the rare chance to enter the palace, I won’t treat you as the Empress Dowager, I’m your sister-in-law, let’s speak heart-to-heart. She may have modest parents and family background, but the Ji Family is not like others.
Consider the late Ji old General with his military accolades, at least one of the four consorts would be deserving!"
As the Princess Consort finished speaking, the childish voice added, "Empress!"
The Princess Consort blinked, almost questioning if it was an illusion.
Empress Dowager wasn’t surprised, but amidst the Princess Consort’s look of surprise, nodded and echoed Xiaosuisui,
"The National Master examined her visage, she bears the appearance of a natural Phoenix Destiny. Moreover, we’ve confirmed that her birth is indeed that of a National Mother!"
"That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful. Earlier I heard it was the elder Miss of the Xie Family who had the natural Phoenix Destiny, but she wasn’t on the list of entrants this time, Prince was worried, fearing that might be..."
As she spoke, the words "omen of a fallen country" were swallowed.
"Yuanyang has returned, I’ll go help to sort out the herbs."
