Eighty-four big piles of carrots (two)

  "Redeem one's mistakes with achievements?" Upon hearing Jiu's words, everyone couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  "...It's...under everyone's gaze, Jiūjiě once again opened her mouth, her tone cautious,"It's...about the Crown Prince's eyes..."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, at this point, the gaze she received from Yang Huanghou became even colder and sharper.

  "She hastily added, 'It's really not...not Xiaojiao hiding anything, nor is Xiaojiao searching for something unusual, it's just...just that Xiaojiao doesn't have a hundred percent guarantee...'"

  Yes, just now still pretending to be nonchalant, acting as if nothing's wrong, and yet this time proactively offering to help with the treatment. Must find a suitable reason, otherwise how could Yang Huanghou possibly let it go?

  "And the Crown Prince is... again a precious body, that is to say... giving Xiaojingtian a big temper, Xiaojin also dares not... dare not act rashly..."

  How dare you be so presumptuous? You didn't dare earlier, but now you do. Is this some kind of joke? Yang Huanghou's face turned even colder.

  "Now... now I also want to take a gamble..."

  Want to bet? The two slender eyebrows on Empress Yang's face couldn't help but shoot up instantly, no longer cold, but angry...

  "If I win, I hope the Queen will spare Xiaojiao. If I lose... if I lose, Xiaojiao is willing to accept double punishment!" By the time she said this last sentence, Jiujiu's tone was firm and her eyes were calm.

  Double punishment?

  Everyone present looked surprised after hearing her words, including Yang Huanghou who had just been furious.

  Loss of etiquette in front of the palace, forty strokes of bamboo punishment, if doubled it would be eighty.

  Eighty?

  Even a strong and robust man couldn't withstand it, let alone Jiū Jiě's frail body. If she were to truly receive it, there would only be one path waiting for her - death!

  "Your Majesty needn't worry," Ninth Sister said, "because the medicine I'm making this time is just a simple vegetable dish, nothing serious!"

  "Vegetables?" The crowd was stunned again.

  "Yes!" The Ninth Princess had already lifted her face, her eyes fixed intently on Empress Yang.

  Looking at that delicate little face with residual tear stains, and the fearless confidence on that little face, Yang Huang's expression slowly eased.

  "After the empress, don't listen to her nonsense. Although she is young, she is actually a cunning and deceitful person..." At this time, Jingning Princess, who was the mastermind, became anxious and stepped forward, pointing at Jiu Si Er."

  "Shut up and step down!" But before the words had even fallen, Yang Huanghou spoke in a low voice.

  Jing Ning couldn't help but stare blankly, looking at Yang Huang Hou with a wronged expression.

  Because of the early death of her mother, and because she had always been clever and obedient, Empress Yang rarely scolded her. But now, for the sake of this person who was not even related to her, she actually scolded her. How could she not feel wronged...

  Empress Yang ignored her, merely casting a faint glance at the shattered jade fragments on the ground, then made a slight hand gesture to the two palace maids standing by the door with their heads bowed.

  Those two palace maids immediately walked over quietly and carefully picked up the things, while Jing Ning also immediately lowered her head and retreated to one side without a word.

  Looking at the well-behaved Princess Jingning, Jiuniang's heart couldn't help but slightly sneer.

  Only thought of framing her with all his heart, but forgot that this queen mother was so clever and fierce, was he confused by hatred.

  But what exactly did she have that was worth hating so much? Was it all just for Su Junzhen?

  Alas, but she and Su Jun really didn't have anything going on?

  This proud daughter of heaven is being a bit too much...

  "What dish is so versatile?" At this time, Princess Hao had already become impatient and quietly asked aloud.

  Empress Yang didn't say a word, she just shifted her gaze from Princess Jingning to Jiuniang.

  "Carrot!"

  Carrots, also known as radishes, originated in Afghanistan. She's not sure when they were introduced from abroad. This empty dynasty and the previous life's time-space may or may not be the same time, she doesn't know. All she knows is that nowadays this thing often appears in her diet, so it should be quite common, right?

  Everyone was stunned again when they heard her utter these three words.

  "The crown prince doesn't like eating this..." Then Mrs. Hao smiled and looked at Empress Yang.

  Empress Yang nodded slightly, her expression becoming even more relaxed. However, when she looked at Ninth Sister, her two slender eyebrows furrowed again, "Does this thing really work?"

  "The queen didn't know that when I was a kid, Little Nine never dared to go out at night because it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Many doctors were consulted but to no avail. One autumn, I saw the fresh red radishes planted by my aunt and ate some greedily... and... and..." Ninth Sister replied respectfully, but suddenly her face turned bright red and she became tongue-tied.

  "What's going on?" Empress Yang asked in pursuit.

  "Uh, I've said it, please don't blame me, Your Majesty... " Jiujie immediately added in a low voice, "I ended up running to the toilet at night, but unexpectedly my eyes cleared up and got better."

  "Hmph!" The Hao family was amused by her words.

  That noble gentleman also couldn't help but smile wryly.

  Although Empress Yang didn't smile, her facial expression had already become more gentle and calm, no longer stern and severe as before.

  Jiuer couldn't help but make a victorious gesture in her heart, and smiled...

  ……

  "What is this?"

  When Hao's family handed over a large pile of carrots on a white jade tray to Prince Ouyang Zhi, who was discussing hunting with the fourth prince Ouyang Rui and King Weiyuan Yang Guofeng in the side hall, they were naturally surprised by this inexplicable pile of carrots.

  "This was brought over by the mother-in-law, saying... saying to let you eat it as fruit." Hao looked at Ouyang Rui and Yang Guofeng who were staring at the pile of radishes with the same surprise, suddenly felt that this mission was a bit ridiculous.

  "When will the fruit be eaten?" Ou Yang was even more surprised.

  "Imperial sister-in-law..." At this time, Ouyang Rui, who was sitting with a rather sloppy posture, smiled and said, "Is the palace so poor now that it has to use this as a fruit?"

  "Uh..." Mr. Hao hesitated for a moment before hastily saying, "Of course not..."

  "What's that?" Ou Yangzhi immediately chimed in, being the one who was about to eat the radish.

  "Uh... actually... actually... the queen mother asked me to give this to you to eat is... is to help you cure your eyes..." Hao Shi couldn't hold it in anymore and confessed.

  "This is for treating eyes, what's going on now?" Ou Yang Rui heard this and immediately smiled incredulously.

  "Take it back, you should know I don't like this the most." Ouyang Zhi looked at the plate of radishes and shook his head.

  Hao's expression turned urgent, "But Wen Jiuguniang said this is very effective, and it will take effect in just two or three hours."

  "Miss Wenjiu... Sister Wenjiu?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Guofeng, who had been lowering his head to sip tea and seemed to be pretending that nothing was happening in front of him, suddenly looked up.

  As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes naturally fell on his face at the same time.

  "Which Wenjiu sister? Does Big Brother know?" Given Yang Guofeng's temperament, others wouldn't dare ask more questions, but there was one exception, and that was the Fourth Prince, Ouyang Rui.

  Yang Guofeng's deep black eyes fell on Ouyang Rui's handsome face, stunned for a moment, but then shook his head.

  "Give it a try, maybe it'll really work!" Yang Guofeng suddenly looked at Ouyang Zhi again and said calmly.

  “……”

  "Five years ago, when I was stationed in the north, a big eater envoy told me that this radish is a good thing, and it's called grassland ginseng!" After a brief silence, Yang Guofeng continued.

  "Really?" Ouyang Rui forgot to investigate his cold and icy older cousin's acquaintance with the woman.

  "Really......" Looking at the bright red radish on the table, Ouyang Zhi felt that it didn't seem so unpalatable after all.

  Hao's eyes gazed at this cold and taciturn uncle-in-law, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.

  "Brother, you eat slowly, I'm going back."

  Watching his brother eating radish desperately, Ouyang Rui first watched the show and then made some sarcastic remarks. After that, he felt a bit bored, stood up, patted his brother's shoulder in a somewhat condescending manner, and was about to leave.

  "Uh, Fourth Brother is walking slowly, I won't see him off..." The weak and beautiful Crown Prince nodded at him, then somewhat helplessly took a bite of the radish handed to him by Lady Hao.

  He elegantly and leisurely savored the radish, when Ou Yang Zhi's gaze suddenly fell upon Yang Guo Feng who was sitting across from him, flipping through a military book with a distracted expression. He immediately smiled and said, "Fourth younger paternal uncle, you should head back too."

  "I'm waiting for you!" But Yang Guofeng said unexpectedly.

  "Oh..."

  "There are many soldiers in the army who have similar experiences, so there are few night battles. I'll wait and see if it's really effective, and then promote this remedy in the army later." Yang Guofeng said again.

  "En, you're right!" Ou Yang Zhi immediately nodded in agreement, but after a long while, he whispered another sentence, "But who knows if it's really effective?"

  It turned out that Ou Yangzhi's worries were unnecessary, because three hours later, when the sun set in the west, his eyes had improved a lot.

  At this time in the past, the lamps inside his palace had already been lit. Because the sky was dark, his eyes could no longer see anything.

  But today, the situation is much better, although the vision is still a bit blurry, it's already much better.

  Hao was overjoyed and instructed the palace staff to stew a carrot and mutton soup, then happily went to report back to Empress Yang.

  When she heard the news, she was sitting in the empress's palace, staring blankly. Ninth Sister couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  Fortunately... otherwise, judging from this situation, she might have really lost her life here today.

  Princess Jingning was scolded by the Empress and has sulkily returned, while Consort Jing also left, but she was kept behind to have dinner.

  It was said that the evening meal would be served late, but dinner was delayed again. Empress Yang had been meeting with someone in the front hall all along, her intention was obvious, she was under house arrest, just waiting to take responsibility for this gamble.

  Soon after, Empress Yang also returned, and she too received the good news. Her face was filled with joy, and she pulled Ninth Sister's hand, saying a lot of kind words and intimate phrases, and bestowed many rewards.

  The Ninth Princess hastily expressed her gratitude, but when Empress Yang ordered the palace staff to set up dinner, she firmly refused.

  The reason is quite sufficient, it's late, she has been out for a day, and the elderly at home are still ill.

  Empress Yang naturally didn't want her to stay any longer and hastily ordered someone to prepare a carriage to send her away.

  "The Crown Prince and Prince Wei have arrived." But at this time, another servant came in...

  ……

  Digression

  The flower prince naturally doesn't remember Ninth Sister, no need to question it, I didn't get it wrong, hehe, tomorrow is Saturday, a good day!
