A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Zhou Ruo breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she reached Zhao Jinxiao's room.

"Hey~ Don't run away, don't run away! Xiaoxiao just ate too much!"

Zhou Ruo said breathlessly, and everyone slowed down their pace.

Ji Ping was still worried, so she walked ahead and hurried into the house.

"Why is your stomach so hard after eating so much?" Zhao Jinzhong asked Zhou Ru, puzzled.

"He ate it, but it can't come out; it's all crammed together!"

Zhao Jinxiao cried until his face turned black, and he kept spitting up milk while crying.

Ji Ping felt a pang of heartache seeing this.

Even the usually experienced Granny Wang was at a loss.

"Ruo'er, come quickly and see how we can help Xiao'er recover?"

Ji Ping picked up Zhao Jinxiao and gently patted his back.

"Don't worry, Mom. Put Xiaoxiao down, or you'll suffer later."

Ji Ping thought Zhou Ruo meant that Jin Xiao was unwell and would cause her trouble.

When a child is sick, a mother is too anxious to complain about her child causing her trouble.

"It's alright, Ruo'er. Mother will hold Xiao'er like this. He'll feel more at ease when I hold him."

Indeed, Zhao Jinxiao stopped crying in Ji Ping's arms, but his face still looked terrible.

"Alright then, Mom, hold Xiaoxiao flat on his back with his belly up."

Ji Ping did as instructed.

Zhou Ruo stepped forward and touched Zhao Jinxiao's stomach in circles twice. Ji Ping then heard Zhao Jinxiao's stomach start to gurgle.

Immediately afterwards, the hand that was supporting Zhao Jinxiao's buttocks felt a series of powerful bursts of air being sprayed onto it.

What followed was an increasingly strong odor.

Zhou Ruo pinched her nose first and pulled Zhao Jinzhong back.

As she retreated to the doorway, Ji Ping slightly moved her hand that was supporting Zhao Jinxiao's buttocks away, and immediately a large amount of golden-yellow substance gushed out.

It sprayed all over the ground and Ji Ping's body, accompanied by Ji Ping's startled scream.

Only now did Zhao Jinzhong understand why Zhou Ruo had asked Ji Ping to put Zhao Jinxiao down.

They even said that if they didn't let go, their mother would suffer.

"I knew it, Mother is suffering a lot..."

Zhou Ruo covered her mouth and nose tightly with both hands and retreated directly outside the door.

She called out into the house, "Mommy, Xiaoxiao is alright! A bath will do the trick!"

"Also, Mother, don't feed Xiaoxiao so much, he'll feel uncomfortable if he eats too much!"

After saying that, Zhou Ruo grabbed Zhao Jinzhong and ran away.

Zhao Jinxiao's room reeked of feces, which even Ji Ping herself found unbearable.

When Zhou Ruo pulled Zhao Jinzhong out of Lanxiang Courtyard, they bumped into Zhao Yucheng, who had arrived late.

"Daddy, why did you take so long to come!" Zhou Ruo felt it was a pity that Zhao Yucheng had missed a "poop show".

Zhao Yucheng said with a serious expression, "Zhong'er, Ruo'er, the prince and envoy from the Northern Kingdom will be visiting our Great Qing Dynasty in a few days."

You all need to be prepared, and we'll all attend the banquet together.

Just as Sixi went to the guest hall to report Zhao Jinxiao's situation, a letter arrived from the palace.

Zhao Yucheng went outside the mansion to greet the eunuch who had come from the palace to deliver an imperial decree, and learned that the envoy from the Northern Kingdom was about to visit.

Zhao Jinzhong agreed.

Then Zhao Yucheng asked, "How is Xiao'er?"

"Xiaoxiao is alright, Daddy, go and check on her!"

After saying that, Zhou Ruo chuckled and pulled Zhao Jinzhong away.

"What are you two kids doing running around like that?"

Zhao Yucheng was confused, but worried about Zhao Jinxiao, so he quickened his pace and went into the courtyard.

When Zhao Yucheng stood in front of Zhao Jinxiao's house, he was stunned.

The room reeked of foul odors, and the floor was covered in "golden armor" (a type of fabric), which the servants were cleaning up.

Covered in poop, Ji Ping held Zhao Jinxiao, who was also covered in poop, and waited for Si Qiao and the others to bring hot water for a bath.

He looked extremely disheveled.

"Madam, what is this?" Zhao Yucheng asked Ji Ping, holding his breath.

When Ji Ping saw Zhao Yucheng arrive, she thought that she finally had someone to rely on, so that she wouldn't feel so heartbroken.

But who knew, the next second, Zhao Yucheng said:

"Um... Madam, I still need to go and discuss the visit of the envoy from the Northern Kingdom with Zhong'er."

Since Xiao'er is alright, I'll head over now!

As soon as Zhao Yucheng left, Ji Ping felt even more aggrieved, and tears started falling, then streamed down her face.

Siqiao and her maid carried hot water into the room, only to find the madam holding the young master and crying incessantly.

Siqiao quickly put the basin down and ran to Ji Ping, anxiously asking, "Madam, is the young master feeling unwell again?"

With tears streaming down her face, Ji Ping said, "I will never give Xiao'er so much food again!"

Siqiao and her servants were trying to suppress their laughter, but they almost couldn't hold it in.

This young master eats way too much; his appetite is more than three times that of the young lady.

Ji Ping felt sorry for the child and always thought he wasn't eating enough, so she fed him a lot, which led to his current condition.

Although this isn't my first time being a mother, I never expected Jinxiao to be so fierce and have such a big appetite.

His younger sister, Zhao Zhiyu, was not like him.

Zhou Ruo followed Zhao Jinzhong back to Wude Academy. She was curious about what Zhao Yucheng had said about the visit of the prince and envoy from the Northern Kingdom.

"Brother, where is the Northern Kingdom?"

Zhao Jinzhong said, "It's quite far from here."

"What are they doing here?"

"Seven years ago, Father led his troops to fight against the Northern Kingdom. Father won, and the Northern Kingdom had to compensate our Great Qing Dynasty with a lot of things."

They are required to pay tribute to the emperor every year. Their visit this time is likely to curry favor with the emperor.

Please allow them to reduce their tribute in the future, Your Majesty.

Zhou Ruo thought for a moment, then asked, "Father said we should go to the banquet, but what am I, a child, supposed to do?"

Zhao Jinzhong tapped her on the head, and Zhou Ruo winced in pain, closing her eyes and grimacing.

"You are now a princess. How can you not attend when foreign envoys visit?"

Looking at her adorable blank expression, Zhao Jinzhong suddenly wanted to tease her: "There are so many fruits at the banquet, if you don't go, who can finish them all?"

"Oh? There are fruits? Then it won't do without me!" Zhou Ruo was already dreaming, her mouth almost watering.

Zhao Jinzhong's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Three days later, Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong were shopping on the streets of the north of the city when they happened to encounter the procession of envoys from the northern kingdom arriving in the capital.

The informed people knew that the envoy from the North had arrived just by seeing the enemy's formation.

Zhao Jinzhong found it strange, "Weren't we supposed to arrive in the capital in two days? Why are we two days early?"

"Brother, pick him up." Zhou Ruo was too short and was blocked behind the onlookers, so she couldn't see the Northern Kingdom's team at all.

Zhao Jinzhong scooped Zhou Ruo up and placed her on his shoulders, instantly opening up Zhou Ruo's field of vision.

Wow, there are so many people!

The procession from the north entering the capital was grand and impressive, suggesting that it was not simply a matter of currying favor.

A voice rang out from the crowd: "Wow! How beautiful! Was that the princess from the Northern Kingdom who just peeked out from behind the carriage curtain?"

"Maybe so, her headdress makes her look like a princess."

"I heard that the Northern Kingdom's visit this time is not only to discuss tribute, but also seems to want to form a marriage alliance with our Daqing prince."

"What? A marriage alliance? A defeated nation wants a marriage alliance? They're really trying to pull a fast one on Daqing!"

"Judging from their setup, it does look like a marriage alliance."
