The white chess piece in Ye Zhen's hand fell. She clasped her hands and bowed. "Mr. Chen, I lost.
Huangfu Chen looked at the game on the chessboard. He was shocked by the young lady in front of him. Her chess skills were even better than what Xu Lao had described. She must have concealed her strength when she played against Xu Lao.
"Miss Lu's chess skills are extraordinary. I'm impressed." Huangfu Chen said with a smile. He had grown up in a border city and had such a high cultivation level without the guidance of a famous teacher. It was indeed not easy.
He seemed to have underestimated this little girl.
Ye Zhen smiled shyly, "I am showing off my slight skill in front of you."
Huang Fuchen took back the chess piece. "I heard that Miss Lu would rather study medicine than be Old Mr. Xu's disciple?"
"I've loved to study medicine since I was young. It's my dream to go to a medical center." Ye Zhen whispered. Although she was a little guilty, Lu Yaoyao didn't like medicine at all before. She just liked to play all day.
Huangfu Chen smiled faintly. His narrow and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. "I see."
Ye Zhen became more and more embarrassed. At first, she did not study medicine because she liked it. She chose it to achieve her purpose.
"I heard that Mr. Chen is a divine doctor …" Ye Zhen remembered that the Qi Medical Classic was still in her hands. To be honest, Huangfu Chen should be the owner of the medical classic.
Huangfu Chen smiled. "I just know a little about treating people. I'm not a divine doctor."
"Mr. Chen, the Qi Medical Scripture is in my hands. The next time I see you, I will return it to its original owner." Ye Zhen said.
"So the book is with you." Huang Fuchen shook his head and smiled. "That book was left by my ancestors to pass on to future generations. It's the same no matter who has it. However, there are five books in this set, and the other four are still with me. If Miss Lu likes them, you can take them all to read." Ye Zhen looked at Huang Fuchen in surprise. "Are you willing to lend them to me?"
"The books are for the world to read. Why can't I let you read them?" Huang Fuchen asked with a smile.
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. Not to mention that the Qi Medical Classic was a precious secret book left by Huang Fuchen's ancestors, many doctors were reluctant to let others know about their prescriptions, let alone lend such a precious book to others.
Just as she had heard, Huang Fuchen was not an ordinary mortal.
"Then I'll thank Mr. Chen first." Ye Zhen said gratefully. She was a little puzzled. The last time Doctor Qi learned that she had a medical scripture, he seemed very excited. Didn't he know that the other four were with Huang Fuchen?
"Another round?" Huangfu Chen asked with a smile.
Ye Rou smiled, her bright eyes overflowing with color. "Mr. Chen, please."
It was not until the sun set that Ye Zhen and Lu Xiangzhi left the Xu Residence. She had gained a lot today. It was an extremely rare honor to meet Huang Fuchen, not to mention that he had promised to lend her his collection of books.
"Yaoyao, what did you and Mr Chen talk about to make you so happy?" Lu Xiangzhi turned to look at his sister. It had been a long time since he had seen such a bright smile on her face.
Ye Zhen covered her cheeks with her hands. "Is it so obvious?"
Lu Xiangzhi laughed. "Your eyes are shining."
"Mr. Chen said he would lend me the book. I am very happy." Ye Zhen said, "Brother, have you seen Mr. Chen before?"
"No, I met him two days ago at the teacher's place. Today is the second time we have met." Lu Xiangzhi said.
In this way, Huang Fuchen should not have been in the capital before. He probably came back in the past two days. A character like him would be amazing no matter where he went.
When they returned home and entered the inner courtyard, they felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. The servants seemed to have become cautious. The old women who usually liked to drink two cups of hot tea in the gatehouse did not even dare to chat.
Ye Zhen and Lu Xiangzhi looked at each other. Did something happen at home?
Before they went to the upper room to pay their respects to the old madam, they were called over by Mrs. Pei.
"Your grandmother is in a bad mood. I heard from your second aunt that the old madam has angered the Imperial Consort." Mrs. Pei said in a low voice, fearing that the two children would go to the upper room and annoy the old madam even more.
Ye Zhen sat beside Mrs. Pei and asked with a frown, "Mother, why is the Imperial Consort angry?"
Pei shi sighed, "We can only say these words at home, we are not allowed to say a single word outside. Guifei niangniang may have been confined for three months, but she hasn't changed at all. When she found out that the Emperor was choosing a fei, she almost made a scene. It was a good thing that lao furen stopped her. It was just that your second aunt spoke out of turn and caused trouble."
"What did the second aunt say?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mrs. Pei glanced at Ye Zhen, and her voice was a little more angry. "She inadvertently said that you entered the palace a few days ago, and the Imperial Consort asked the old madam not to allow you to enter the palace in the future, and immediately set your marriage."
Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "Did the old madam … contradict the Imperial Consort because of me?"
"I don't know the specifics. The old madam is lying in bed with anger, and Mrs. Wang is hiding in the room and refuses to come out. I am really worried …" Mrs. Pei looked at Ye Zhen with distressed eyes. When her daughter was like a wild girl, it worried her. But now, a girl has changed eighteen times since she grew up.
It was all Lu Wushuang's fault. Lu Wushuang had never seen such a jealous woman. She couldn't even tolerate her own cousin. Although Yao Yao was good-looking, every time she entered the palace, she was summoned by the Empress Dowager. She didn't do anything wrong. Even so, she still angered the Imperial Concubine.
It seemed that it was also Lu Wushuang's idea that Liu Shi insisted on marrying Yao Yao to the Liang family last time.
Ye Rou's eyes were cold. She thought that Lu Wushuang was still acting recklessly. She could barely protect herself, yet she was still short-sighted and worried that her cousin would threaten her position. Now, there were many people in the palace who could threaten her.
"What is Eldest Sister thinking? Why do you dislike Yao Yao so much?" Lu Xiangzhi asked angrily. "Last time, First Aunt was like that. Eldest Sister is really …"
Mrs. Pei rebuked him. "Now that she is the Imperial Consort, she can do whatever she wants. Can we say anything wrong?"
"Mother, it doesn't matter. In two days, the Imperial Consort will not care about me." Ye Zhen comforted Mrs. Pei in a low voice. "I will go to the old madam. The Imperial Consort is just upset about what happened last time. When she understands that I am not a threat to her, she will naturally not care."
Mrs. Pei said, "You talk to the old madam."
Ye Zhen felt that Old Madam Lu was so angry, not necessarily because of Lu Wushuang's engagement. Rather, she was more worried than angry.
Having a stupid person like Lu Wushuang in the palace was like hanging the whole Lu family on the tip of a knife. The only person in the whole Lu family who could move her was Lu Lingzhi. Unfortunately, Lu Lingzhi was now in the western vassal state and could not care about Lu Wushuang at all.
Ye Zhen hoped that Lu Wushuang would be stupid again.
