Chapter 529 Miss Ran, did you not brush your teeth?
"What's weird about that? Well, don't worry about those weird things. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in two days. The Queen Mother sent someone to send an invitation letter, and it specifically stated that Mother should bring you along."
"Take me with you? Mom, I don't want to go. I'm not interested in the party. How about you let Nianran go?"
"No, no, I just got back and I know nothing about the people in the capital. If I do something impolite, it will bring shame to the Duke's Mansion! Let Qing Nian go." Shen Youran said with a smile.
"Okay, since you all don't want to go, then I should go alone? But the Empress Dowager has written your name on it. If you don't go, people will say you are disobeying her order!" Chen Shuhua said.
"Okay, mother, don't be embarrassed. Can't I go? The Queen Mother specifically asked me to go. Maybe there is something important!"
"That's possible, but it doesn't matter. Your grandmother will go with you. She and I will protect you then. You don't have to worry." Chen Shuhua told her not to worry too much and just do it as usual.
Soon the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday arrived, and Old Lady Chen took her and Chen Shuhua out in their best clothes and came to the palace.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was bustling with joy. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy shuttling back and forth, and the princes and nobles also came with their families to celebrate the birthday.
Old Madam Chen took the two of them to pay a visit to the Queen Mother first and presented her with carefully prepared gifts.
"I wish the Empress Dowager good fortune and a long life." Old Madam Chen said respectfully.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Hurry up, everyone, take a seat."
All the ladies present were well-known ladies, sitting together and chatting with the Queen Mother. Suddenly, someone saw Yao Qingnian and said with a smile, "Is this Miss Shen? This is the first time I've seen her. She's different from what the rumors said."
"Recently, the capital has been talking about how Miss Shen is a skilled doctor. Not only did she cure Madam Shen's stroke, but she also saved a child on the street the day before yesterday. It was said that the child had an allergy."
There were also people who disliked Yao Qingnian and mocked him, "There are few people who can cure stroke. Even Dr. Han is not sure. Miss Shen just came back from the countryside not long ago. Maybe she just stumbled upon it by mistake."
"Do you want to try it out by accident?" A playful voice sounded. It was Princess Zi Ning who had not been seen for a long time.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains." Princess Zi Ning presented the gift.
"Zi Ning, why are you here? Get up quickly so I can take a good look at you. I thought you would miss my birthday party again this year! How is your health?"
"Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty! I am feeling much better now."
"Really? That's great. You've been weak and sickly since childhood, and your parents have protected you for fear that you'd get hurt. Now that they've agreed to let you come to see me, I guess you've sneaked out again, right?"
"How could that be possible, Your Majesty the Queen Mother? I'm in good health now, there's nothing wrong with me. If you don't believe me, just look." Zi Ning ran to the Queen Mother and turned around a few times.
"Okay, okay, I get it. Come and sit next to me. Don't get too tired, otherwise your parents will be worried again." The Queen Mother was amused by her and laughed out loud. But she was worried that she would fall, so she asked her to stop.
"Empress Dowager, I was able to recover from my illness thanks to Miss Shen Nianran. If she hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago." Zi Ning ran to the Empress Dowager and spoke for Yao Qingnian.
"Who is Miss Shen Nianran?" The Queen Mother nodded and asked below.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed." Yao Qingnian bowed politely. This was her first time entering the palace since she came here, and she didn't dare to look around.
"Well, yes, she is dignified and generous. I heard that you have excellent medical skills. Not only have you saved the people many times, but you also saved Princess Zining. You are really a blessing to the Duke's Mansion. Reward!" The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. She had heard a little about her and the Shangshu Mansion. She didn't know what Shangshu Shen was thinking to drive such a good girl out of the family.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Before the birthday banquet even started, Yao Qingnian received a reward from the Queen Mother. This was the first time.
"What's there to be proud of? You think you're a miracle doctor just because you know a little bit of basic knowledge. You're just a crude country girl, and you're getting carried away by the empress dowager's praises." When passing by the grand scholar's daughter, the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems like I don't know the girl?" He looked at her and felt that she was a stranger. He wondered when he had offended her.
"Miss, she is the eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Ran Jiajia." Yuzhu said in a low voice.
"Hmph, you don't know me, but I know you. Jialing couldn't enter the palace because of you." It turned out that this girl was Gu Jialing's younger sister. The two had been good friends since childhood. The last time she heard her talk about how she was punished, the culprit was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. So this time, she took the opportunity to stand up for her.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Miss Gu, you can go wherever you want. You don't need my permission. You think too highly of me." Yao Qingnian laughed softly.
"Just be self-aware, and don't bring your country ways into the palace, so as to avoid dirtying everyone's place." Ran Jiajia looked at her with contempt.
"Hey, do you smell any bad smell?" Yao Qingnian waved his hand in the air twice and asked the people nearby.
"Ms. Shen, no, what's wrong?" everyone was puzzled.
"That's strange, Miss Ran, did you not brush your teeth?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't brush your teeth!" Ran Jiajia was instantly embarrassed when she was asked this in public, and replied angrily.
"Brushed your teeth? Then it's not a problem with your teeth, it's an internal problem. So, after the banquet, come to me and I will prescribe two medicines for you. I guarantee that your bad breath problem will be completely cured." Yao Qingnian said after thinking for a moment.
"Puchi!" Yuzhu couldn't help laughing out loud. Their young lady was really amazing. She could curse people without using any dirty words. She not only proved herself, but also made Miss Ran look bad in public.
"Ah! I was wondering what I smelled just now. It turned out to be Miss Ran."
"Don't be afraid to seek medical attention if you are ill. Since Miss Shen has a solution, Miss Ran can go and ask her to take a look."
For a moment, everyone stayed away from Ran Jiajia.
Ran Jiajia was filled with shame and almost cried. Her face instantly turned the color of liver. She had been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. She could also smell the odor coming from her mouth, but the doctor couldn't cure her. Before coming here today, she had carefully cleaned her mouth, burned incense and bathed. She thought no one would notice, but she didn't expect Yao Qingnian to tell everyone about it. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into: "You! You country bumpkin! Just wait for me!"
