The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 556: Helping Her Gain Favor

This dish "Eight Treasures Dragon and Phoenix" takes two to three hours to prepare, though the method is not overly complex—it involves simmering soup, which is suitable for someone like her whose culinary skills are not very high.

The maids dared not be idle, helping Yun Jiao in the kitchen.

The ingredients were quickly prepared and set to simmer, and a young maid from Yun Gui Courtyard hurriedly ran over, "Miss, the Princess has summoned you to Yanfu Court."

Yun Jiao had to instruct several matrons to watch the fire, then returned to Yun Gui Courtyard to change her clothes before heading to Yanfu Court.

She was wearing an outfit Lady Wu sent over yesterday.

The upper body was a crabapple red dark-flowered cloud brocade gray mouse fur jacket, the lower body a light red brocade Ruyi gray mouse fur skirt, covered with a white base broken branch peach blossom brocade satin silver fox cloak, with two or three ruby headpieces.

Because it was New Year, she also applied some light rouge and lipstick.

Upon entering the main hall of Yanfu Court, she saw it was filled with people.

The hall was divided into two areas.

One area was filled with men.

The other side was occupied by female relatives.

The ladies watched her come in and began to whisper amongst themselves out of curiosity.

Yun Jiao saw an elderly lady sitting on the Arhat couch at the upper position. Her hair was grayed, and her face thin, leaning against a large cushion behind her, appearing somewhat fatigued.

Despite this, the old lady exuded a powerful aura that set her apart from those around her.

The Princess, upon seeing Yun Jiao, slightly straightened her posture.

A maid came over, smiling brightly, to guide Yun Jiao to the Princess’s presence.

Yun Jiao noticed there was no cushion on the ground, indicating that kneeling was not necessary, and she performed a formal curtsy.

The Princess gestured to her, "Come here and let me see."

Yun Jiao approached and was pulled to sit beside the Princess, who examined her closely, "What a lovely girl, how is it that your face is so beautiful, it’s captivating."

Yun Jiao’s face reddened slightly, and the Princess patted her hand, "You are a good child. I’ve heard from Youzhi that your medical skills are excellent. Can you check on me too?"

Yun Jiao rose and courteously moved to sit beside her, first asking about the Princess’s dietary habits and routines, then carefully taking her pulse.

Lady Wu watched with concern.

Once Yun Jiao released her hand, the Princess asked, "Tell me, what is my ailment?"

"I’ve seen several doctors over the past two years. The medicine helped a little, but it never completely cured me."

Yun Jiao pondered for a moment, "In my opinion, the Princess suffers from both Qi and Yin deficiency, insufficient Heart Yin, causing virtual fire to flare up, hence her inability to sleep at night."

The Princess raised an eyebrow, as the Imperial Physician’s diagnosis differed, saying she had phlegm excess causing sleeplessness.

"Oh, so what remedy would be suitable?"

Yun Jiao replied, "You need to nourish the Heart Yin, unblock the Heart Yang, ’Benefit the Heart and Calm the Mind’ decoction should suit the Princess’s symptoms."

The Princess instructed, "Write the prescription."

The maid led Yun Jiao to a small side room, where Yun Jiao wrote the prescription and handed it over to the maid.

She knew that even though Jiang Youzhi might praise her greatly, the Princess would not simply believe her. The prescription would certainly be reviewed by the Imperial Physician, and it might not even be administered.

However, that was not her concern.

Upon returning to the hall, Lady Wu pulled her to sit beside her, "I heard you specially cooked a dish for the Princess?"

"Youzhi told me about it, but the name was too long, I didn’t remember."

Yun Jiao thought to herself, this mother-in-law is truly considerate, deliberately helping her make a good impression in front of the Princess.
