Chapter 288 The Joyful Baby Face
A moment later, the imperial physician rushed to the main hall.
Upon entering, one sees Gao Xian being helped onto a couch by a group of people.
He quickly stepped forward, knelt down to pay his respects, and immediately took the patient's pulse.
Mo Qingkui stood to the side, asking anxiously, "What exactly happened to His Majesty? Is the situation serious?"
The imperial physician did not answer immediately. He pressed his fingers firmly against the pulse, and after a moment, he raised his head with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"His Majesty's pulse is somewhat irregular, as if he has been startled and is experiencing a headache. I need to administer acupuncture to examine him."
"Then hurry up!" Mo Qingkui urged.
The imperial physician immediately nodded and hurriedly took out silver needles from his medicine box.
Several silver needles were inserted into the acupoints, and after a short while, Gao Xian's eyelids twitched suddenly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you're awake! Are you feeling any better now?"
Mo Qingkui was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to take Gao Xian's hand in hers.
Gao Xian's gaze was slightly confused, but then gradually cleared.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his voice low and hoarse: "It's nothing, just a bit of a headache."
The imperial physician beside him breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, saying, "His Majesty's headache was caused by the fright. Now that he has woken up, there is nothing to worry about. I will prescribe some medicine for His Majesty to take care of him, and he will be fine."
Mo Qingkui looked at Gao Xian and saw that he was lost in thought, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Gao Xian opened his mouth, his throat felt dry, but he did not answer.
He frowned, his expression revealing a hint of unspoken confusion.
Just now... he seemed to have had a very deep and profound dream.
In my dream, there was the figure of a woman.
She stood in the distance, her red dress swaying gently in the night breeze.
However, no matter how close he got, the face remained shrouded in a blurry shadow, its outline and expression indiscernible.
Who is she? Why did he dream about her?
Gao Xian thought for a while, but his mind was still blank.
He barely suppressed his discomfort and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, I probably just drank too much."
His voice was calm, but tinged with weariness.
Seeing his reaction, Mo Qingkui was puzzled but didn't ask any further questions.
I guess he just had a nightmare, nothing serious is likely to happen.
"Your Majesty, please rest. If you need anything, the imperial physician and I will be outside and ready to summon you at any time."
Gao Xian nodded.
The people in the hall quickly withdrew, and several candles were extinguished by the palace maids, plunging the hall into darkness.
Gao Xian leaned against the soft pillow, closed his eyes to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.
The vague dream in my mind still haunts me, refusing to leave.
He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the curtains above the bed.
He tried to recall more details, but he could not remember the woman's face or her name.
The next day, at the Marquis's residence.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many things to do. Although Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli stayed up late last night to welcome the New Year, they couldn't sleep in.
After the two finished tidying up, they prepared to wake the children and go to the main courtyard to pay their respects to Old Madam Xie and Lord Xie.
Just as they were about to step out of the house, a small figure pounced on Qin Jiuwei's lap.
Looking down, I was met with a cheerful, chubby face.
Xie Jue grinned at Qin Jiuwei and said, "My brothers and I have come to wish our mother and father a Happy New Year!"
Only then did Qin Jiuwei notice that Xie Jue was wearing a small red robe.
The collar was trimmed with a circle of fluff, and the soft white trim made him look even more adorable and delicate, like a little fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
Looking up again, I saw two more red figures.
Xie Jingchun was dressed in a bright red robe with a wide black belt around his waist. He stood tall and straight, with a free and unrestrained look in his eyes. He already looked like a dashing young man in fine clothes.
Xie Jing was also dressed in red, but it was a dark red, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs.
He has become less flamboyant and more composed, which suits his refined temperament perfectly.
Qin Jiuwei's gaze fell on Xie Jing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
These three outfits were all made by the embroiderer she had previously instructed to do.
She knew Xie Jing probably wouldn't wear it; she only made it to create a New Year's atmosphere.
But to my surprise, he actually wore it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
However, she could clearly see that Xie Jing was not comfortable wearing such brightly colored clothes.
The hand hidden in the sleeve kept tugging at the sleeve, and the shoulder was slightly stiff.
It was really hard for him.
Xie Jue got off Qin Jiuwei, took a small step back, and the three of them bowed to each other in turn.
Greetings to my father and mother! Wishing them a happy and healthy New Year, good health, longevity, peace, joy, and tranquility!
Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli's eyes welled up with tears as they looked at their smiling faces.
It's wonderful that the whole family is safe and happy.
The Imperial Palace, Lingyan Pavilion.
"Greetings to Consort Chen."
Eunuch Qian bowed in greeting, and dozens of palace maids following behind him followed suit.
They were each holding a wooden tray.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingkui casually raised her eyes.
"You're the newly appointed head of the Imperial Household Department?"
