The Jiang family sent someone to invite Gu Jin's mother and daughter, which made Song Pan'er extremely happy.

  She personally went to Gu Jinzhi's courtyard and rummaged through her trunks to find clothes for her.

  Also help her comb her hair.

  Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Mother, Ming Hui princess is particularly kind and doesn't care about dressing up."

  "Nonsense!" Song Pan'er glared at her, pushing her to sit down on the small stool. "Dressing and making up properly is a sign of respect for the princess. What does it have to do with being particular or not? You're already a big girl now!"

  Gu Jinzi had no choice but to let her mother help her with it.

  Song Pan'er personally took charge and had all the maids and servants in Gu Jin's house shooed away, so everyone could only help by handing her things.

  Madam didn't know what was going on either, so she took advantage of the gap to quietly ask Haitang, the senior maid who followed Song Pan'er: "Where are Third Madam and Seventh Young Miss going?"

  The lady with the elegant eyebrows also had a joyful expression, and she quietly replied: "Princess Ming Hui invites the three madams and Seventh Young Lady to visit as guests."

  Mom smiled slightly and smiled faintly.

  In the capital city, Gu's family also had frequent interactions with royal nobles, so it was only natural that a princess would come to visit, there was no need to be so excited.

  It's been a long time since I came to Yanling, and the relationships between people have become so dull. Princess Minghui has a special status, and Song Tian'er is deliberately trying to get close to her, seeking a future for his daughter, which is why he attaches so much importance to it.

  After dressing up, Gu Jin wore two pearl flowers on her head and a pair of southern pearl earrings, which set off her snowy complexion.

  Wishing mom and everyone says good-looking, Gu Jin has no choice but to comply.

  She felt it was troublesome but didn't protest.

  Song Pan'er went back to her room, changed into a silver-red crepe de chine jacket with a moon-white eight-treasure rabbit hundred-pleat skirt, and combed her hair into a round bun. She inserted two crimson gold-inlaid jadeite hairpins, wore delicate long carnation earrings, and shone with elegance.

  She has just turned thirty this year, her skin and body are well-maintained, it is the age when women are as beautiful as flowers in full bloom, stunningly beautiful.

  Song's mother and several older maids all praised her for being good-looking.

  Gu Jingzhou also repeatedly said it was good-looking.

  Song Paner was overjoyed and burst out laughing.

  She held Gu Jin's hand, followed by Song's mother, and they all went out of the courtyard together. At the gate, a woman had already prepared a small green sedan chair with a tame donkey harnessed to it.

  Got on the carriage and went all the way to the entrance of Chuihua Gate, changed to a bamboo wheel sedan chair, and headed to the residence of the princess in Qingguo Alley.

  When getting off at the gate, he met Qin Shenshi who came for a return visit.

  He saw Gu Jinzhi and repeatedly gave her a bow, scaring Song Wantong, thinking to himself: Who is this person, treating a 10-year-old girl with such courtesy?

  Gu Jinzhi also felt embarrassed and bowed three times in a row, which was considered as returning his courtesy.

  Madam Chen came out to greet them and saw Gu Jingzhi and Song Taner, smiling as she invited them in. Qin Shiniang followed closely behind.

  Gu Jin whispered to Song Pan'er: "That is Qin Taiyi, the imperial physician bestowed by the former emperor on the princess, and the Qin Tidian of the Imperial Hospital in the capital city is his brother."

  Song Paner was slightly surprised.

  Qin Wei's fourth brother can make it to Tai Hospital, this matter should be settled, how come his younger brother Qin Shenshi is a bit timid and shrinking back?

  The group of people soon arrived at the princess's residence.

  The princess sat in a chair drinking tea and when she saw them coming in, there was a smile on her face.

  Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi paid their respects to the princess.

  "Please, don't be polite!" Princess Ming Hui's voice was warm and gentle. She then asked the mother and daughter to sit down and ordered someone to bring a taishi chair for Qin Taifu to sit on.

  Her eyes turned around Song Pan'er's body, then nodded in satisfaction.

  Song Pan'er's attire today was indeed grand and not flashy, making Princess Ming Hui feel her importance. Whoever it is, being respected by others always brings joy.

  The princess thought that Song Pan'er was sensible and not as crude as the rumors in the streets. In the capital, Song Pan'er did not allow Gu Yan to take a concubine, and even after the maid became pregnant, he insisted on selling her off, which had been criticized for a long time.

  Princess Minghui also felt that at that time Song Wanting was impulsive and reckless, and she didn't have a very good impression of her.

  But she had never seen Song Pan'er in person either, it was because of Gu Jinzhi that she wanted to meet her.

  Now it's completely different at first glance.

  "How is the old master of your house?" Princess Minghui asked with a smile, "When I was in the capital, I always went to him for medical treatment. He's a good person and his medical skills are excellent. Nowadays, I've heard that he has closed his door and doesn't see patients anymore, so it's not convenient for me to disturb him."

  "It's going well, thank you for remembering me, Princess." Song Xiang'er smiled and said, "I'm in good health, with my sister-in-law to accompany me, teaching the children to read, I'm also in a good mood. It's just that I couldn't come to pay respects to you, so I owe you an apology!"

  Before Princess Minghui could speak, she quickly got up and gave her three bows.

  This refreshing feeling is indeed just like what people said.

  Princess Ming Hui just smiled and didn't say anything more.

  Watching Qin Shen sit down awkwardly on one side, Ming Hui princess said to Song Tan Er and Gu Jin Zhi: "You two sit for a while, I'll be right back..."

  She went to the side hall and asked Qin Shenyi to re-examine her.

  Her liver fire has dissipated by more than half, and the symptoms of insomnia have disappeared. Taking some nourishing blood and calming heart medicine to regulate her weak body will be fine.

  Qin Shen told these words to Princess Ming Hui.

  Princess Ming Hui nodded: "You go back first, come again in two days."

  Qin Sheng stood up for the fourth time and respectfully said yes.

  Princess Minghui returned to the inner chamber and spoke with Gu Jin's mother and daughter.

  Gu Jin did not say much, listening silently, and only answered one sentence when asked. Her expression was calm and peaceful, but she was not awkward, just taciturn.

  The mother and daughter were vastly different in character, one being eloquent and the other being taciturn.

  Princess Ming Hui found it very interesting.

  She didn't plan to keep Song Pan'er and her mother for dinner. She was still taking medicine, so the table had to be light, afraid of making Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi uncomfortable. But since Song Pan'er was lively and cheerful, and spoke directly to Princess Minghui's temper, she kept them for dinner.

  At mealtime, Princess Minghui asked Gu Jinzhi how many more doses of medicine her illness would need to recover.

  Gu Jin said: "No more than five or six doses on the left, and more is not good."

  Qin Sheng gave her five prescriptions.

  Princess Minghui heard Gu Jin say so, and her heart felt at ease.

  After dinner, Song Dang Er and her mother returned to Ma Yuan Alley.

  In just two days, Minghui Princess's residence sent over a plate of fresh water caltrop cake made from newly harvested water caltrops. Both Gu Jinzhi and Gu Xuanzhi were especially fond of it.

  Song Pan'er asked Guan Shi to go to the farm and bring back some water caltrops, they would also make some themselves.

  The next day, she went in person to thank Princess Minghui.

  As a result, people in Yanling Prefecture gradually learned that Song Dang'er and Princess Minghui were getting along well. The place was small, and every little movement was known throughout the city.

  Gu Jin followed his grandfather to read books and never went to the princess's side again.

  The princess muttered to herself several times.

  By June 8th, Qin Shenyi had sent a letter to his grandfather and wanted to see him.

  Grandfather took the note and didn't throw it away as usual, but instead pondered for a moment, then posted it back. On the ninth day of the first month, please invite Qin Sheng to come home.

  Gu Jinzhi looked at him strangely and asked: "Did you have a relationship with Qin Taishi before?"

  "This is not the case," said Mr. Gu, "Qin Mei is honest and has good medical skills. In all these years I've been in Yanling Prefecture, he's never come to bother me, he's not a person who likes to curry favor. This time he wants to see me, probably there's a reason for it. If he needs my help, as long as it's not too troublesome, I'll help him."

  The old man liked honest and unpretentious people, and he had a good impression of Qin Sheng from his time in the hospital.

  "He has some books at home, I don't know if he brought them to Yanling or not..." The old man casually mentioned again.

  Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh: You still have feelings for someone else's treasure?
