Chapter 223 -224: Remind Her Not to Indulge in Wishful Thinking
Shao He once again entered the side hall, which was now filled with people, while not far away, Princess Huimin and Xu Han were waving at her.
Shao He could only walk over, as the people around her watched with envious eyes—after all, it was the wish of many that could hardly be fulfilled, to sit with the Eldest Princess.
“Why have you just arrived?” Princess Huimin asked in a neutral tone.
Shao He did not hide anything and answered truthfully, “I had just stepped out for some fresh air before returning.”
Xu Han picked up a piece of cake and placed it on her plate with a smile, “Doctor Shao, try this.”
Under her expectant gaze, Shao He could only pick up the cake and taste it. It was indeed delicious, and she nodded incessantly.
At this moment, Princess Huimin suddenly asked, “How is Huaian’s leg?”
“It has improved a lot, but he still needs to strengthen it through exercise, especially since he has just started recovering.”
“It has improved a lot, but he still needs to strengthen it through exercise, especially since he has just started recovering,” Shao He answered truthfully.
Princess Huimin elegantly set down her teacup, looked at Shao He, and then said slowly, “I heard that Huaian spent a lot of money for you and Chu Yu at the medical hall, what’s this about?”
Shao He realized from Princess Huimin’s words that there was some dissatisfaction, knowing she must be unhappy that Pei Huaian was punished on her account.
“Princess, I…” Shao He just opened her mouth intending to explain.
“Do you not know that Huaian has no say in his marriage matters? The Fifth Prince’s Consort must come from a noble family, the daughter of an Imperial Court heavy minister, and absolutely no tarnish is permitted.”
“Princess, I understand,” Shao He responded softly.
“Hmm!” Hearing her understanding, Princess Huimin continued to ask, “Do you have plans to remarry then?”
Shao He wanted to refuse when she heard this, but thinking of the paternity test, she caught herself and said with a smile, “If I meet the right match, I indeed have plans.”
“However, I already have a child myself, and dare not wish for too much, it would be good enough if he is willing to accept the child.”
Princess Huimin, seeing her so sensible, was very pleased and took a light sip of her tea, smiling faintly, “You are a good girl, whoever marries you will be blessed for a lifetime.”
“Princess flatters me.”
Shao He was very clear in her heart that Princess Huimin valued her for her superb medical skills, but absolutely did not allow her to have any relationship with Pei Huaian.
Xu Han wanted to say something, but seeing his mother’s expression, he lowered his head again and dared not speak further.
The atmosphere once again became awkward; just as Shao He was about to turn and leave, Xia Zhaohe, dressed in purple, approached them.
“Oh, isn’t this Doctor Shao? I didn’t expect to see you here today, what a coincidence,” Xia Zhaohe deliberately spoke loudly enough for the surrounding people to turn their gaze toward them.
“Commandery Princess Ninghe,” Shao He stood up and bowed.
Xia Zhaohe looked at her and suddenly laughed, pretending to limp and said, “Just now, this princess accidentally took a fall, and my foot is a bit sore. Perhaps you could take a look for me?”
She pointed at her injured ankle, her face wearing a mocking smile as she watched, her eyes challenging, as if saying, “Do you dare?”
A murmur of discussion rose around them, with everyone looking at Shao He with strange eyes.
As someone of high status, who wouldn’t curry favor with Xia Zhaohe? Even people from the Imperial Clan had to give her respect.
Everyone felt that Shao He certainly wouldn’t dare to refuse, so they were all very curious to see what would become of her.
“A person of the princess’s noble status is not someone for whom I can perform a diagnosis.”
“Aren’t you a female doctor? Why can’t you? Take off my shoe and look at my foot,” Xia Zhaohe said, then stretched out her right foot, signalling her to inspect it.
“Princess, your injury…” Shao He glanced at her foot but did not move forward to check; instead, she cautioned.
“Are you afraid that this princess won’t give you silver?” Xia Zhaohe countered with raised eyebrows, then continued with a smile, “This princess is a Commandery Princess of the Royal Family, how could I walk away from paying for medical services?”
At these words, Shao He lowered her gaze to hide the disgust in her eyes and replied softly, “Commandery Princess Ninghe holds a precious position, I fear… ”
“If this princess tells you to look, you will look!”
The words were clearly meant to make things difficult for Shao He.
Jhiang Yijia noticed the commotion here and quickly came over, smiling as she said, “How about we call for an Imperial Physician to examine the princess?”

“What’s there to look at? Those Imperial Physicians are all men, and there should be a distinction between men and women; besides, isn’t there a female doctor right here? Or is it that she isn’t willing to look at this princess?” Xia Zhaohe was now deliberately provoking Shao He, looking to put her in a difficult position.
Before Shao He could speak, Xia Zhaohe taunted, “An indecent female doctor dares to join in the activity here, truly thick-skinned, or perhaps, you intend to snare a nobleman here?”
“Commandery Princess Ninghe, please watch your words,” Jhiang Yijia interjected.
Facing this barrage of insults, Shao He finally showed emotion, sneering, “Just now I saw Commandery Princess Ninghe hopping and jumping around, not looking like someone with a sprained foot, perhaps the discomfort in your foot is due to athlete’s foot—no need for a look, frequent foot washing should do the trick.”
“You…”
Xia Zhaohe, enraged by the implication, glared at the person before her, and without thinking raised her hand to slap her across the face.
