The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1192 Surprise

The candles made a few slight popping sounds, easing the silent atmosphere a lot.

"If the Grand Princess wants to ask about Princess Yongping's recent situation, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Doctor Jia sighed and changed his hand to continue taking Princess Hong'an's pulse.

"I thought you wanted to feel the pulse of my other hand!" Princess Hong'an chuckled.

Doctor Jia lowered his eyes and said, "I am afraid that my left hand may not be able to feel it accurately, so I will use my right hand as a guarantee."

"This is the first time I've heard your logic. It's quite strange." Princess Hong'an pulled her hand out from the other's fingers and asked Doctor Jia, who was looking at her in surprise, "I heard that you sounded sincere in every word you said. But if you want to be a sincere person, why do you still use a fake name?"

Doctor Jia looked at the hand hanging in the air steadily, without forcing it, but also without answering the other party's question.

He looked up and told the maid, "The eldest princess's condition has improved. There is no need for acupuncture again, and there is no need to continue decocting medicine. She just needs to recuperate well and eat some medicinal food."

The maid said yes.

Princess Hong'an, who was standing by, became angry immediately when she saw that she was being ignored.

But before she could make a move, Doctor Jia calmly told the maid, "I have a few more health-preserving prescriptions here. Please write them down and give them to the kitchen to prepare for the Grand Princess."

After that, he stood up with the medicine box in his hand, turned to the angry-eyed Princess Hong'an, and said in a gentle voice: "These medicinal diet recipes, including tea, soup, and food, were not originally developed by me. I just took a shortcut and selected the main ones that you can use from the files of the Imperial Medical Bureau for your health care... Although I have never been to the outer garden of the palace, I heard that Princess Yongping is also using these recipes."

When she heard him mention her daughter, Princess Hong'an's temper, which was about to explode, was suppressed instantly, and her complexion instantly became much better looking.

"Hmph!" Although she was very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, Princess Hong'an did not rush to lose her temper.

The maidservant seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening. She carefully sought out paper and pen, preparing to write down everything that Imperial Doctor Jia said.

Upon seeing this, Doctor Jia immediately raised his voice and repeated it clearly.

Princess Hong'an, who was standing by, was also silently remembering what he said. Her originally stern face gradually calmed down as Doctor Jia's voice became more and more rhythmic.

She was so familiar with the first few medicinal recipes.

These were all the various ancient health-preserving recipes she had found when she was young, after searching through ancient medical books. She later asked several imperial doctors of the time to help her review and revise them. The original thick stack of recipes, after several years of additions, deletions, divisions and combinations, became the famous Ten Prescriptions of Medicinal Diet.

Thinking of her efforts in her youth, Princess Hong'an, who was lost in memories, felt calmer.

The carefree life of her childhood washed away her bad temper without leaving a trace.

Just as she was exploring her memory, Doctor Jia gave her another medicinal recipe.

Just when the first two names of the ingredients were mentioned together, Princess Hong'an's face suddenly changed!

Doctor Jia seemed unaware but continued to dictate skillfully. After finishing one prescription, he moved on to another.

Princess Hong'an heard this so much that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled!
Especially when he said to the maid, "Especially the last few medicinal recipes, you must have the kitchen cook them for the eldest princess every day. I read in the records that the second crown prince of Emperor Chengyuan relied on these recipes to keep his physique in good shape...Now, Princess Yongping and her husbands and wives also rely on these medicinal foods to maintain their health."

"What did you say?!" Princess Hong'an was trying hard not to faint, but the other party kept mentioning the second prince, Yongping and the children were also taking these prescriptions. She was so frightened and angry that she didn't care about anything else. She lifted the quilt and pounced on Jia Ming and the maid.

Looking at the exceptionally soft hands pinching Doctor Jia's arm, it made it impossible for such a young doctor to move.

Doctor Jia scared Princess Hong'an so much that she almost dropped the medicine box she was carrying.

"Grand Princess?!"

"You said, you said Yongping and the children were also using those prescriptions?!" Princess Hong'an pointed at the paper in the hand of the maid who was also frightened, shook Jia Ming, and asked loudly.

As if she was afraid that the other party couldn't see clearly, or as if... she wanted to confirm that the medicinal materials on the paper were accurate, Princess Hong'an snatched the paper from the maid without any hesitation.

Without caring whether the paper would be wrinkled, Princess Hong'an read the words on the paper one by one several times.

"No, no, no... This can't possibly appear in the file room of the Imperial Medical Bureau!" Princess Hong'an, trembling as she looked at the paper, had the face of her husband, the Crown Prince, flashing through her mind countless times.

This was the first time she thought of that person since she left Beijing with Yongping and moved into the imperial manor.

"No! You can't eat it!" Princess Hong'an seemed to be in a hysterical state. She shook Doctor Jia, sometimes yelling and sometimes muttering, "No, no, no, you can eat it. But you can't use Ruan Zhijin's spices!"

Jia Ming's eyes flashed, and he ignored the pain in his arms and nodded slightly to the maid standing beside him.
