Chapter 134 A little understanding
Emperor Shunde's hands trembled, and he looked at Mei Susu with a strange look: "Why do you ask?"
Meisusu thought for a moment and expressed his judgment.
"Your Majesty is wearing ebony agarwood, which should have a strong and refreshing fragrance with a hint of grass and wood, and should not have any other strange smells. However, the agarwood smell emanating from your Majesty is sour, which means that something has been mixed into the incense, or has your Majesty taken medicine recently?"
Zhao Zhen's face changed and he immediately looked at Emperor Shunde, then turned to look at Mei Susu, just because Mei Susu really hit the point.
Not only did he correctly predict the physical symptoms of Emperor Shunde, he even guessed that Emperor Shunde was taking medication recently.
Emperor Shunde tapped the armrest of the imperial chair with his fingers, his eyes gleaming with a sharp coldness: "Do you know medical skills?"
"Know a little bit."
Mei Susu was not lying. She had studied Chinese medicine in modern times. Although she was not very skilled, she had good talent and learned much faster than ordinary people. It was not a lie to say that she had some knowledge of it.
"You were born into a good family and you know medicine, how could you end up begging on the street?"
Emperor Shunde glanced at Zhao Zhen as he spoke, and Zhao Zhen immediately understood what he meant and took out a cushion to place under Mei Susu's legs.
Mei Susu was a little confused when she first saw the cushion, but when she saw Zhao Zhen's faint smile, she immediately understood. She knelt down to thank Emperor Shunde and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the cushion."
Emperor Shunde hummed coldly: "You are quite clever, sit down and answer."
Mei Susu was not polite either. She immediately pulled the cushion under her buttocks, crossed her legs and sat up. She moved her buttocks and seemed to feel good. She smiled at Zhao Zhen and said, "Please give me another one, Eunuch Zhao. One is not enough."
Zhao Zhen didn't think much about it and went to get her a cushion.
Who knew that after the cushion was placed under her butt, she had not been quiet, twisting her body constantly as if she had fleas all over her body.
Just when Zhao Zhen wanted to ask her what was going on, Mei Susu pulled the cushion out from under her buttocks, turned around and put it under Yueya's legs: "Yueya, help me try to see if this cushion is irritating."
Yueya didn't dare to kneel at first, but when she heard that he was helping her try, she knelt down and after feeling it for a while, she said, "My lady, I don't feel any tingling."
Mei Susu looked suspicious: "That's strange. If you don't feel itchy, just kneel down, so that you don't have to trouble Eunuch Zhao to take the cushion back."
"This is not a good idea..." Yueya shrugged her neck and glanced at Zhao Zhen beside her with fear in her eyes.
Before she could see his expression clearly, she immediately withdrew her gaze and moved her legs to get off the cushion.
Mei Susu held her down and deliberately raised her voice: "Eunuch Zhao has brought it, you can't ask him to take it back, not to mention it's just a cushion. Your Majesty is magnanimous and generous, and is known for his wise and noble governance. How could he punish you and me for a cushion? It's nothing, just kneel down."
After saying this, she innocently looked up at Emperor Shunde behind the desk, smiling like a spring flower: "Right, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Zhen grinned secretly, this girl was so bold that she deliberately asked him to get two cushions and dared to give the cushions to her maid in front of the emperor. Then she put a tall hat on the emperor's head. She was really brave and smart.
Emperor Shunde never thought that although the little girl was young, she was very cunning.
She wanted to give her maid a cushion, but she found an excuse.
A cushion, and she said so many nice compliments. If he really punished her, it would seem that he was stingy.
"You've praised me for my magnanimity. If I don't say it's right, I'd be unworthy of the word magnanimity."
It was impossible to tell whether Emperor Shunde was happy or angry in his voice, but that was a good thing. At least he was not angry, and that was enough.
Mei Susu immediately knelt down from the cushion and kowtowed twice: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is truly the best and kindest person I have ever met."
"What a smooth talker." Emperor Shunde snorted coldly. He looked displeased, but there was actually no anger in his tone.
"Let me ask you, you said you smelled a sour smell on me, do you know where this sour smell comes from?"
Back to the topic, Emperor Shunde asked about the sour taste that Mei Susu had just mentioned.
Mei Susu stood up, then ran to Emperor Shunde and leaned over.
This action frightened Zhao Zhen so much that he wanted to step forward to arrest the man immediately, but Emperor Shunde gave him a look, signaling him to stay calm.
That’s why Zhao Zhen didn’t throw Mei Susu out directly.
Mei Susu lifted up the dragon robe on Emperor Shunde's body and brought it close to her nose to smell it, then stepped back: "I want to see the incense that your majesty has been burning recently."
Emperor Shunde did not refuse and asked Zhao Zhen to go and get the incense.
Mei Susu obediently returned to her cushion and sat down, waiting for Zhao Zhen to come back with the incense.
Emperor Shunde looked at Mei Susu who was sitting down. Seeing that she looked as obedient as a porcelain doll, he thought for a moment and asked her, "How long have you been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Mei Susu thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers.
Emperor Shunde nodded: "Five months... Well, you were able to stay with the prince for five months, which means that the prince likes you very much... I guess..."
"Five days." Mei Susu interrupted him and said with a grin, "My daughter has been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for five days."
If we don't count the cat and only count the human form, Mei Susu has only been transformed for five days. If we count the time as the cat, that's too long. It's easy for something to go wrong with such a long time.
Emperor Shunde was startled, looked at her, and said in the tone of an elder teaching a younger person, "It's unruly. Don't interrupt me when I'm talking."
Mei Susu shrank her neck and acted like a quail: "I know."
"Well, he is quite obedient." Emperor Shunde nodded in satisfaction, and then continued: "Five days is five days. Although his origins are unknown, he is extraordinary, his temperament is quite likable, and he knows a little about medicine. It is not a problem for him to stay with the prince as a book boy."
Ok?
Mei Susu tilted her head. Does this mean she agrees with her?
So simple?
I wonder what Xuanyuan Che would think if he knew that she had found a servant boy for him in such a short time.
"I see that the clothes you are wearing are very beautiful, Yunjin silk, the prince is willing to spend money on them."
Mei Susu lowered her head to glance at her clothes. She was still wearing the goose yellow dress that Xuanyuan Che had made for her overnight. The dress was indeed beautiful, otherwise she would not have been reluctant to take it off. But when she heard Emperor Shunde say this, she pretended to be surprised.
"What is Yunjin silk? Is it a very good thing? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there is no clothing in the palace that my daughter can wear. He just threw this clothing to my daughter and told her to make do with it for now."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Shunde took a closer look at Mei Susu's clothes and thought to himself that his son was not good at speaking. He made clothes specially for someone else and insisted that he found them casually. No wonder he is still alone now.
He also wants to hug his little grandson, but seeing how annoying he looks, that may be difficult.
