In the Zhou Dynasty, doctors were not a lowly profession. Especially at the level of imperial physicians, although the rank was not high, they also had formal official positions and salaries.

However, in the eyes of the nobles and relatives, they inevitably look down on the imperial physicians who practice medicine.

With the identity of Imperial Physician Wei, even if he has a sister who was a Jieyu, he was still not qualified to marry a jùnzhǔ who had a title, a rich dowry, and was quite favored.

Fúmǐn Jùnzhǔ pouted and said unhappily: “My father and mother have said these words, tángjiě, why are you the same as them, and you always ask whether my status and position are worthy of him? I know that Imperial Physician Wei is worthy of me, and I am a little wronged. However, I like him and I am willing to marry him, isn’t that okay?”

… So, Fumin didn’t understand her true meaning at all!

The person who was not worthy was not Imperial Physician Wei, but Fumin herself, okay!

Changping Gōngzhǔ was impatient to say more, and it was inconvenient to say it too carefully, so she said vaguely: “In short, you are right to listen to me. Stay away from Doctor Wei in the future. You are a jùnzhǔ waiting to be married, how can you run after men all day? Isn’t it embarrassing enough?”

Fúmǐn Jùnzhǔ hummed perfunctorily, clearly not taking Changping Gōngzhǔ’s advice to heart.

What a fool!

Changping Gōngzhǔ frowned, and her voice suddenly became much colder: “Forget it, I am tired today too. I don’t have the energy to talk to you, you should go back to the mansion first! I will invite you to come and talk when I am free in the future.”

When it came to mood swings, no one could match Changping Gōngzhǔ.

Fúmǐn Jùnzhǔ was a little afraid of her from the bottom of her heart. When Changping Gōngzhǔ turned cold, Fúmǐn Jùnzhǔ did not dare to stay any longer, and soon got up and left.

…

After Fúmǐn Jùnzhǔ left, her ears were finally quiet.

Changping Gōngzhǔ took a lazy nap for a while, and then she was in the mood, so she summoned a fair and handsome eunuch to come in.

The other maids and eunuchs immediately retreated.

Soon, a faint gasp was heard from inside the door. At first, the sound was suppressed and forbearing, but later, it gradually became unbridled.

The maids and eunuchs who were guarding a few meters outside the door were already used to it, and they still looked straight ahead.

At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and whispered to the maid guarding the door: “His Royal Highness King Yan is here!!”

The maid frowned slightly. If it was someone else, she could just find an excuse to send him away. But it happened that it was King Yan who came, so there was no way to stop him.

But the Gōngzhǔ was calling the eunuchs to have fun again, and it seemed that the noise would not end for a while, so no one dared to knock on the door. If Changping Gōngzhǔ was angered, her life would be in danger.

“You lead His Royal Highness King Yan to the music room of Her Royal Highness the Gōngzhǔ first.” The maid made a quick decision. She whispered, “If His Highness asks, you can say that Her Highness is bathing. He can come over after she finishes bathing.”

The eunuch nodded and quickly left.

…

“Her Highness is bathing. Please wait in the music room for a while.” The eunuch smiled and led the King of Yan into the music room.

Bathing?

Taking a bath in broad daylight!

He was afraid she had summoned the eunuchs for fun again!

The handsome young man in red clothes raised his eyebrows and said “Oh” with a smile

“If that’s the case, I’ll just wait here for a while.”

The eunuch secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This excuse really lacked sincerity… Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yan didn’t expose it.

After the eunuch left, King Yan took a leisurely turn in the music room.

Although Changping Gōngzhǔ was a little frivolous, she was a Gōngzhǔ of the royal family after all. She received a strict education since childhood and was quite proficient in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. She was especially good at playing the guqin.

Got it! In that case, the revised translation would be:

Given Changping Gōngzhǔ’s preference for luxury and indulgence, the music room was naturally decorated exceptionally. There were more than a dozen valuable ancient guqins, each placed in different rooms.

In addition to the guqin, there were also instruments such as long flutes and bamboo flutes.

King Yan was a little impatient, so he took the bamboo flute and played a cheerful song.

After the flute sound fell, Changping Gōngzhǔ finally came. She looked lazy, and the blush on her face had not completely faded. She smiled before she spoke: “Ah Qi, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.”

King Yan glanced at Changping Gōngzhǔ. He was not polite at all: “Royal sister, you are a Gōngzhǔ, you should be more considerate of your dignity. If you want to have fun, just call the eunuchs at night. It’s better not to do such things in the daytime.”

“If the Fùmǎ hears about it, he will be embarrassed and will have to complain to the Royal Mother. If the Royal Mother is really angry, you can forget about being so free.”

Changping Gōngzhǔ was thick-skinned, but she was embarrassed to be spoken so bluntly by her own brother.

Changping Gōngzhǔ restrained her smile. She snorted and said unhappily: “Don’t mind my business.”

“If you are not my biological sister, do you think I am willing to care about you?” The King of Yan also snorted, his handsome face full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Changping Gōngzhǔ glared at the King of Yan and said, “If you have this much free time, you might as well go to the palace to accompany Royal Father more, make him happy, and give you more practical tasks. You won’t have to hang around all day and do nothing.”

After a pause, she mocked him, “Look at you, a Wangye ^[1]Prince or King who is the son of the Empire, but you are not as good as Ah Yao, the Imperial Grandson. When the ministers in the court mention the Imperial Grandson, everyone praises him. When they talk about you…tsk tsk, those words are really unpleasant. What idle, what lazy and naughty, what untrainable. If I were you, I would have been too ashamed to see anyone.”

King of Yan, who was always joking and unrestrained, changed his face after hearing these heart-wrenching words, and said coldly, “No matter how naughty I am, I am still a man. Even if I am surrounded by beautiful palace maids, no one dares to gossip about me. In the future, when I marry a wángfēi ^[2]wife of a wangyi and take in a bunch of beauties, the wángfēi won’t dare to say a word.”

“It’s different for you, my sister. You are a woman after all, and you have married a Fùmǎ. The eunuchs around you keep changing faces, each one more handsome than the other. Do you really think that everyone in the capital is a fool?”

“No matter how cowardly and useless the Xu Yuan Fùmǎ is, he is the legitimate son of the Xu family and the nephew of our mother. Even if you don’t care about your own face, you have to consider our mother.”

“You…” Changping Gōngzhǔ was so angry that her nose was about to smoke, and she glared at each other.

King of Yan sneered and looked back with disdain.

The two siblings exposed each other’s scars, and they seemed to be fed up with each other.

Changping Gōngzhǔ bit her lip, finally suppressed her anger, and slowed down her tone: “Forget it, you rarely come here, do you want to quarrel with me?”

Changping Gōngzhǔ showed weakness and gave in. The King of Yan did not press her, and stepped down: “I have nothing to do today, so I came to see you.”

Changping Gōngzhǔ smiled and said: “I held a lotus viewing banquet in the mansion today. There are indeed many interesting things. I will tell you to relieve your boredom.”
