Chapter 12 The Empress Invites the Little Divine Physician to the Palace
The incense is lit.
Renbao rummaged through the cloth bag and laid out the contents on the table.
Candied hawthorns, crispy cakes, pastries, meat buns, milk... a dazzling array of delicious treats that Renbao had eaten during the day, all of which she had secretly hidden away.
"Grandma Meng, Uncle Black, Uncle White, Uncle Ox-Head and Uncle Horse-Face, come up and eat some delicious food!" Renbao shouted into the air.
Dao Xuan immediately felt the air in the room turn cool.
He doesn't have the ability to summon ghost messengers. He can occasionally see the Black and White Impermanence coming to the human world to collect souls, but they are all just nodding acquaintances.
At this moment, he saw the major ghost messengers commonly referred to in the human world appear before him. He appeared calm, but in reality, his heart was churning with turmoil and a hint of nervousness.
They really made a killing.
He could boast about everything he saw and heard tonight in front of the abbots of all the Taoist temples in the world!
"Little Yama, you still remember me after eating a single bite, waaaaah!" Black Impermanence cried very emotionally, with snot and tears streaming down his face.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the sweet, cool, crispy pastry... Mmm, so delicious!
"Stop crying and sobbing. Abbot Daoxuan is right here. Have some shame." Granny Meng glanced at him irritably, then nodded to Daoxuan. "I'm sorry you had to see this."
The Black Impermanence's crying stopped abruptly. He straightened up and glared fiercely at Dao Xuan: "Forgot what just happened?"
Dao Xuan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone, "The Ghost Messenger is a man of strong character, and this old Daoist should learn from him."
Black Impermanence was very satisfied with his answer, took a meat bun, and ate it with great satisfaction.
Bai Wuchang and Niu Tou Ma Mian bowed their heads and ate voraciously.
They can't get these things in the underworld.
Renbao watched from the side, swallowing hard. She covered her stomach and comforted herself, "It's okay, I've already eaten. These are for my uncles and grandma."
She looked at Dao Xuan, confused, and asked, "Uncle Hei is a ghost, how can he still be a person?"
Dao Xuan was amused: "Little Yama, I was referring to a kind of temperament. Your temperament is very good, innocent and carefree."
Renbao didn't quite understand, but she knew Daoxuan was praising her, so she patted her chest proudly and said, "That's right! This little Yama is amazing, you should learn from my innocent and carefree attitude~"
Granny Meng chuckled, looked at her with kind eyes, and then said to Dao Xuan, "Master, may I speak with you in private?"
"Grandma Meng." Dao Xuan looked at the woman in front of him with a straight back, who didn't look old and was about thirty years old. He thought to himself that the folk rumors were really false. Grandma Meng was not old at all. She was a great beauty.
"Little Yama is missing her Earth Soul, and she came to the human world so that her Earth Soul could return to her original body." Granny Meng paused for a moment, then continued, "She is young and has not fully awakened her wisdom. She has been staying in the underworld for a long time, so she only has a superficial understanding of many things in the human world. I hope the Abbot will take some time to keep an eye on Little Yama."
"I see." Dao Xuan suddenly realized. He looked serious. "Don't worry, Granny Meng. Heaven, the human world, and the underworld cannot be without a king, otherwise there will be great chaos. As a disciple of Taoism, I will do my best to protect the little Yama and let his earth soul return to his body as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Granny Meng felt much relieved: "Thank you, Abbot."
You're too kind.
The ghost messengers left some food for Renbao, waving goodbye with reluctance: "Little Yama, we'll be going now. Come back and visit us often when you have time."
Renbao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and said sweetly, "Okay, goodbye Grandma Meng, goodbye uncles."
Black Impermanence: Waaah, Little Yama is so good, he can't bear to part with him.
White Impermanence grabbed him: Come on! You still have work to do, don't even think about slacking off!
Dao Xuan secretly made a note of it.
Granny Meng is not old at all; she is a great beauty.
Black Impermanence isn't black at all; he's a crybaby.
Just as Renbao was preparing to feast, all sorts of evil spirits, drawn by the aroma, arrived, eagerly introducing themselves.
Renbao slowly put down the candied hawthorn in her hand and patted her little belly again.
It's okay, it's okay.
She is the generous Renbao!
The next day, at the Marquis's residence, as soon as the steward opened the gates, the eunuch from the Zhaoyi Palace arrived, accompanied by Granny Liu.
Upon seeing the palace visitors, the steward panicked and hurriedly went to inform Old Madam Su and Su Chengxiao.
"Her Madam Liu, the Empress's personal maid, has arrived?" Su Chengxiao, who was practicing calligraphy, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He wondered what was going on. He stood up. "Quickly, take me to greet her. Does Mother know?"
When Madam Su heard the news, she was also stunned. She struggled to get up and went to the gate of the mansion in her wheelchair to greet them.
"Mother."
The two met in the corridor.
Madam Su was somewhat uneasy: "Xiao'er, why did Her Majesty the Empress send someone here? I feel a little uneasy."
Su Chengxiao pushed her, his face full of worry, and sighed softly: "Mother, I guess it might be related to my sister-in-law taking Shuying to the Prime Minister's residence."
Madam Su gripped the armrests of her chair, her eyes filled with intense dissatisfaction: "Pei Yuru is a brainless woman! A useless piece of trash who can't give birth to a son. I don't know what she's thinking, treating her two daughters like treasures but not trying to find a way to have another son."
Su Chengxiao hissed, "Mother, don't you think that nothing good has happened since Renbao returned to the manor?"
"That's right!" These words struck a chord with Old Madam Su. Her brows furrowed. "The second branch of the family is willing to abandon their mother for a three-year-old child and even set up their own household!"
Su Chengxiao chimed in, "That is indeed going too far. I will find an opportunity to persuade Xuan Ce."
Old Madam Su snorted: "You can't reason with a damned devil. Your brother will regret this sooner or later."
As they approached the main hall, both of them fell silent.
Granny Cui smiled broadly: "Congratulations, Madam Hou and Young Master, your family's fortunes have turned around."
Madam Su and Su Chengxiao exchanged glances.
Madam Su asked with a smile, "May I ask, Granny, what brings you this joy?"
"Madam, please don't be modest. Your young lady is skilled in divination and medicine. She cured the Princess Consort of Zhennan's intractable illness. She is truly a little miracle doctor." Granny Cui raised her hand, and the accompanying eunuchs put down the sandalwood boxes containing gold and silver treasures, lining them up in a row, which was quite a sight.
Madam Su was bewildered. When did the legendary little doctor, who was the talk of the capital, become the young lady of her noble household?
She moved her lips, opening her mouth: "Granny, isn't there some misunderstanding here...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Su Chengxiao interrupted her, "The young lady that the nanny is talking about is Tangtang, right?"
Granny Cui asked, "Is this Miss Tangtang the youngest daughter of the second wife?"
Su Chengxiao said, "That's right."
Granny Cui nodded, delighted, and said, "That's it. I've come today on the Empress's orders to invite the young lady to the palace."
On the way to find Su Tang with Su Chengxiao, Old Madam Su asked somewhat uneasyly, "Is it really okay to let Tangtang impersonate the little miracle doctor? The key is that Tangtang doesn't know fortune telling or medicine. If it's discovered, not only will Tangtang be ostracized, but our Marquis's mansion will also suffer!"
