Ye Zhen looked at Lu Jing's running back and just shook her head. Lu Jing's temperament had a great deal to do with the Lu family's upbringing. After all, she was a merchant, and she was a concubine. Although she looked no different from an ordinary Hou's daughter on the surface, in some aspects, it was still difficult to enter the hall of elegance.
After a simple grooming, she called Yu Ping and Dai Mei in for questioning. She wanted to know what had happened at home recently.
Apart from First Madam who was still crying in her own yard, nothing else had happened. They had never even heard of her and Tang Zhen.
Ye Zhen went to Pei Shi first.
"Mother, I went to see Mr. Chen today. I have accepted him as my master. He will teach me medical skills in the future." Ye Zhen saw that Pei Shi did not ask about Tang Zhen, but told her about today's apprenticeship.
Pei Shi's face lit up when she heard the words, "Mr. Chen accepted you as a disciple?"
Ye Zhen knew that Pei Shi would like it. "Well, I will go out with him to practice medicine in a few days. After I come back, I will not go to the palace to be a doctor. Mother, what do you think?"
"Of course." Pei Shi nodded immediately. In fact, since Yao Yao was conferred as a princess, she had never wanted her daughter to enter the palace to be a doctor. Now that Huang Fuchen was her master, her identity was even more extraordinary. It didn't matter if she could become a doctor in the future or not. Female?
"Today, Master said that he was studying how to detoxify eldest brother. Mother, how is eldest brother's health?" Ye Zhen pretended to be worried.
Madam Pei sighed. "In the past, the seven-knot grass could still suppress his toxicity, but I didn't expect the poison to be so strong. Now, the seven-knot grass is almost useless. Your big brother has trouble sleeping every night, and his bones hurt all over."
Oh, knowing that Lu Lingzhi was not doing well, Ye Zhen felt at ease.
"When Master develops an antidote, it will be all right." Ye Zhen whispered, only hoping that no antidote would be useful to Lu Lingzhi.
Pei Shi's heart ached for Lu Lingzhi, but she didn't want to say too many unhappy words in front of her daughter. "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you."
Ye Zhen tilted her head and looked at Pei Shi with bright and clear eyes. "What is it?"
"It's about Marquis Jingning." Pei Shi couldn't help but smile when she mentioned Tang Zhen. "He wants to propose marriage. Your father and I think it's a good idea. Old Madam also likes him very much. Yao Yao, what do you think?"
"Tang Zhen … came to propose marriage?" Ye Xu's eyes widened. How could this be? He hadn't even answered her question, so why would he come to propose marriage? She thought that he had decided not to give up on everything in the capital, so she hadn't brought up what had happened that day. Why did he suddenly propose marriage?
Pei shi said with a smile, "It's not a marriage proposal. It's to test your father's tone. Isn't it Tang Zhen who entrusted it?"
Ye Rou frowned. She felt that Tang Zhen was not the kind of person who came to propose marriage without asking her. Was it related to Lu Lingzhi? Was Lu Lingzhi in a hurry to marry her off?
"Old Madam knew that you would come back today, and she has been asking about you since early in the morning. Quickly go and greet her. Pei shi did not notice the expression on her daughter's face and only smiled as she took her to the upper room.
"Mother, have you all agreed?" Ye Zhen took Pei shi's hand and asked in a low voice.
Pei shi tapped her forehead. "Mother has inquired about all the young men in the capital. There is no one more suitable than Tang Zhen. Don't you like him?"
Ye Zhen said, "I want to see Tang Zhen first."
"Good!" Pei shi nodded with a smile, but she felt that her daughter must also like Tang Zhen in her heart. She just wanted to be more sure of Tang Zhen's intentions.
The mother and daughter went to Old Madam Lu's room to greet her. The grandmother and granddaughter were intimate again. However, because there were others in the room, the old madam did not mention Tang Zhen. She just saw Pei shi nodding to her and knew the result.
Ye Zhen did not go to the palace the next day. She was going to see Tang Zhen.
Just as she stepped out of the Lu family's door, Old Madam Lu also received the Empress Dowager's oral order to enter the palace to greet her.
When Tang Zhen learned that Ye Zhen wanted to see him, he didn't even go to the palace today. When the time came, he immediately went to the appointed place to wait for her. Not long after, he saw a carriage of the Lu family slowly coming.
"Yao Yao." Seeing his sweetheart coming in front of him, Tang Zhen felt a burst of joy.
"Big Brother Tang." Ye Zhen curtsied. "Please forgive me for asking you to come out to meet me today."
Tang Zhen hurriedly waved his hand. "Yao Yao, this little thing is nothing. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I heard that you are going to the Lu family to propose marriage?" Ye Zhen was not shy or nervous. She just looked at Tang Zhen calmly.
"Yao Yao …" Tang Zhen didn't expect her to ask about this. He glanced at her carefully. Her bright and clear eyes were as calm as water, without shyness or joy. Although there was a trace of doubt on her beautiful face, there was no shame or anger that he expected. "You don't like it, do you?"
Ye Zhen whispered, "It's not a matter of whether I like it or not. Big Brother Tang, you know what the problem is."
"Is there a problem between you and the emperor?" Tang Zhen looked down at her and asked with a wry smile.
"Big Brother Tang …" Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. What did he know?
Tang Zhen laughed at himself. "That day in the hunting forest, the emperor didn't even care about his own life to save you. I have already seen it."
"It's impossible for me and the emperor." Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "I still say the same thing. If you marry me, I want to leave here in the future."
"As long as I am willing to give up everything and leave the capital with you, will you marry me?" Tang Zhen took Ye Zhen's hand and looked straight at her.
Ye Zhen looked back at his eyes seriously. "Big Brother Tang, what do you like about me? If you find out in the future that I am not the girl you want, will you still be husband and wife with me? "
Tang Zhen looked at her in shock. "Yao Yao, what are you talking about? My heart and eyes are full of you now. How can you not be the girl I want?"
"There are many things in this world that cannot be explained." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Big Brother Tang, you are a good person, so before you marry me, you'd better think about it first. Are you really willing to give up everything for me?"
"Yao Yao, do you want to leave the capital because of the emperor?" Tang Zhen asked in a low voice. He knew that she didn't have him in her heart, but he still … couldn't give up.
"Yes and no." Ye Zhen said faintly. "Since you know that the emperor and I … do you still want to marry me?"
Tang Zhen looked at her firmly. "I have to give it a try. I don't want to live in regret for the rest of my life."
"You liar!" Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "It was my big brother who asked you to propose marriage, wasn't it?"
