The news that Lu Wushuang was crippled almost spread throughout the capital. Those who had been ridiculed by her before all applauded and cheered. Some even said that it had been expected. Lu Wushuang seemed to be an unlucky person.
No one in the capital liked Lu Wushuang. When she was favored, she even looked down on the madams of other aristocratic families. She was arrogant and rude, and it was common for her to humiliate others. Therefore, when they learned that she was crippled, many people celebrated with firecrackers.
The Lu family did not close their doors to guests, but they reduced their social interactions. Even their servants rarely appeared.
However, no one thought that the Lu family would lose power because of this. After all, they still had a princess and a newly appointed general, the Marquis of Anyang.
Ye Zhen was not interested in how the outside world evaluated Lu Wushuang. She no longer had the hatred she had for Lu Wushuang. What was the point of caring about a person who was completely unworthy of being her opponent?
Just like Imperial Physician Huang and Gao Xueping.
Imperial Physician Huang and Gao Xueping were transferred to Changzhou to be doctors. Originally, Gong Tang wanted to drive Gao Xueping out of the palace and let Imperial Physician Huang go to the academy to be a teacher. However, when the Empress Dowager knew about the Imperial Hospital, she directly demoted Imperial Physician Huang. The reason was not because he was disrespectful to the Princess, but because he was unfair and didn't have the benevolence of a doctor.
Originally, she was a fifth-grade medical officer, but now she was a doctor with no taste. Imperial Physician Huang … No, Huang Rou was naturally unwilling, but she could do nothing. If it weren't for the fact that the women of the Huang family had been medical officers for generations, she would not have been able to save her life.
She took Gao Xueping out of the palace on the same day.
Ye Zhen did not feel gloating or particularly happy about the punishment they had received. Imperial Physician Huang's heart was too heavy. If she continued to stay in the palace, something bad would definitely happen. It was better to leave the palace and become a doctor.
Because of this incident, the female doctors were a little more in awe of Ye Zhen. They dared not laugh and play as before. Only Chen Jinru and Xia Yaohua still treated her as usual.
The next day, Ye Zhen and Mo Rongyi left the palace together to go hunting in the hunting ground outside the city. She sent someone to fetch her bow and arrows from the Lu family and rode out of the city with Mo Rongyi.
Accompanying them were several of Mo Rongyi's study companions. Ye Zhen had fought together with them last time, so they were familiar with each other. This time, she brought Hong Ying with her.
Outside the hunting ground, Tang Zhen was already waiting for them.
Tang Zhen was regarded as a newly rising noble family in the capital. Compared with the Lu family's former merchant identity, the Tang family was a scholarly family, so it was easier to be accepted by other aristocratic families. Moreover, he did not have an arrogant sister who was an imperial concubine in the palace.
"Yao Yao." Tang Zhen came up on his horse and looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.
"Marquis Jingning, you have come." Mo Rongyi was very happy to see him and immediately waved his hand.
The others seemed to have known that Tang Zhen would also come. There was no surprise, but they were full of expectations.
Ye Rou frowned. "Big Brother Tang, why are you here?"
"The little prince invited me to go hunting." Tang Zhen replied naturally, his eyes falling greedily on Ye Zhen's face.
"Big Brother Tang promised to teach us archery," Mo Rongyi happily said.
Ye Zhen glanced at him faintly. "Didn't you ask me to teach you?"
Mo Rongyi said awkwardly, "You can't teach so many of us by yourself. Besides, if it gets out that this prince's archery was taught by a little girl in the future, wouldn't it be very shameful?"
"You want face? Then you have to beat me first. " Ye Zhen snorted. She felt that Tang Zhen must have a purpose here, otherwise Mo Rongyi would not have invited him to come with him.
Tang Zhen didn't want to make Ye Zhen unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Little prince, Yao Yao, let's go into the woods first."
Ye Zhen glanced at him and rode into the hunting forest. Tang Zhen followed and walked beside her. "Yao Yao, my little prince invited me."
"I heard that you gave him a set of bows and arrows. You really take care of the little prince." Ye Zhen smiled faintly. Don't think that she didn't know what he was thinking.
Tang Zhen coughed lightly. "That's my heart for the little prince. It has nothing to do with me wanting to see you."
Ye Zhen chuckled. "What do you want to see me for?"
"About what you said to me last time …" Tang Zhen glanced at her. "Yao Yao, I've thought it through."
"Brother Tang, Yao Yao, what are you talking about?" Mo Rongyi suddenly caught up with Tang Zhen on his horse and interrupted him.
Ye Zhen didn't care much about Tang Zhen's answer. In her opinion, Tang Zhen should not be willing to give up everything for her. He was the only one left in the Tang family, and he needed to shoulder the revival of the Tang family.
"Let's talk about who hunted more prey for a while." Ye Zhen answered Mo Rongyi with a smile. "Didn't you practice archery for a few days? Perform well later. "
Mo Rongyi blushed and said, "Although I have practiced, it's a little different. I didn't often hunt before."
Ye Zhen laughed and turned to Tang Zhen. "Big Brother Tang, teach them, or this little guy will return empty-handed in a while." Tang Zhen nodded.
"Do you look down on this prince?" Mo Rongyi shouted angrily. "Wait and see, I will definitely hunt more than you in a while!"
"Well, I'll wait and see." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile.
Seeing that it was not the time to talk to Ye Zhen, Tang Zhen put away all his thoughts and concentrated on teaching Mo Rongyi and the others to hunt. This kind of training was brought in by the master, and the cultivation depended on the individual. He could only teach them a few skills. Anyway, these children usually practiced archery, but they didn't go out to hunt much.
"The prey in the hunting ground are relatively mild and young. There are no fierce beasts, so you don't have to worry. Just calm down and look at the target." Tang Zhen said to them with a smile.
Mo Rongyi was eager to try it himself. It was the first time in his life that he came out to hunt. The last time he sneaked out, he fell into a trap dug by a hunter because of his lack of experience.
"How about we divide into two groups and compete?" Tang Zhen suggested with a smile.
"What if you win? What if you lose?" Ye Zhen asked. Since so many people were hunting, it was naturally interesting to have a competition.
A young man beside Mo Rongyi shouted, "The loser will invite everyone to the restaurant for a big meal."
Restaurant? Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows. This was the most luxurious and romantic restaurant in the capital. Not only did it have the world's famous wine and dishes, but it also had the most beautiful prostitutes. However, the famous prostitutes in the restaurant only sold their skills, not their bodies. Ye Zhen had seen it with her father before.
Tang Zhen was about to deny this suggestion. He felt that Ye Zhen would not like to go to this place.
"Okay." Ye Zhen readily agreed. There was nothing wrong with revisiting an old place.
