The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 6: Imperial Physician Examination!
Stepping into the inner hall, the little princess took light steps and pointed with her pink little hand at the smashed watermelon in front of the screen.

I still want to eat, I haven’t eaten enough.

"Hey~" the little princess said in a baby voice, "That's it~"

When Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi entered the palace and saw this scene, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

The thing on the ground was indeed what the little princess had just been eating.

Something like this, not to mention the little princess, even Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi, who were well-read and knowledgeable, were full of confusion at this moment and had no idea what it was.

Empress Changsun looked solemn and her eyes were as sharp as torches. She quickly looked around the hall, trying to find a clue from the surrounding environment to figure out where this strange thing came from.

She thought for a moment, then immediately ordered, "Hongxiu, immediately check if there's anything unusual happening near the Lizheng Palace."

The voice was clear and crisp, with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Hongxiu obeyed the order, turned around lightly, and left quickly.

"Tianxiang, go and carefully check who has entered and left the harem today. Make sure not to miss a single one." Empress Changsun looked at another palace maid, her tone full of concern and caution.

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your order." Tianxiang responded respectfully and hurriedly carried out the task.

Seeing this, Li Lizhi slowly squatted down, stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the pile of things, and felt a cool touch on her fingertips.

The little princess also squatted down, picked up a piece with her chubby little hands and was about to put it in her mouth.

Li Lizhi quickly tried to stop him, her voice gentle and patient: "Sizi, can you eat later?"

"I miss you so much~" the little princess said with longing, tilting her chubby little face.

The little princess had tasted it a few times before, and the sweet juice and icy taste captured her heart at once, making her love it very much.

"Sizi, wait a moment!" Empress Changsun also stepped forward and said softly, pointing at the mess on the ground, "Clean it up!"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiangcao, Shuying and other palace maids immediately stepped forward and carefully picked up the watermelon fragments on the ground.

"I miss you~" The little princess refused to give in, pointing at the watermelon with her little hand, her eyes full of grievance.

Before figuring out the origin of this thing and whether it was safe, Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi naturally would not let the little princess eat it again.

"Sizi is the most obedient. Wait a while before eating, okay?" Empress Changsun squatted down, gently stroked the little princess's head, and comforted her softly.

"No~" The little princess stamped her feet, her heart full of longing for the delicious watermelon.

The little princess was so obsessed with the unique taste of chilled watermelon. Others had never tasted it and naturally didn't know how delicious it was, but she and her second sister knew it.

Seeing that Empress Changsun's persuasion was useless, Li Lizhi, the big sister, stood up and pretended to be serious:
"If you don't obey, do you believe I'll beat you up?"

In the past, whenever Li Lizhi threatened the little princess like this, she would obediently give in.

However, today, with the support of the delicious watermelon, the little princess also became stronger.

She stuck out her butt, turned her back to Li Lizhi, and said crisply: "Sister, forget about it~"

Li Lizhi couldn't help laughing at her appearance. She patted the little princess lightly on the butt and scolded her with a smile: "Beat you! You little girl!"

"Hmph~" The little princess snorted softly, grabbed Empress Changsun's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Mother~ Sister has beaten me~ It's up to you whether to tie it or not~"

"You can eat it, but you have to wait a while."

Empress Changsun smiled helplessly and gently picked up the young girl.

She knew in her heart that she had to ask the imperial physician to check first to see if the two little princesses had any adverse reactions after eating this thing, and to carefully check whether this thing was safe.

At the same time, Xiao Ran finished his work, walked out of the cold storage, and raised his hand to close the door.

"Ok?"

He was startled, a puzzled look on his face, "Where's my watermelon?"

Xiao Ran looked around, his eyes full of confusion, "Where did such a big watermelon of mine go?"

I clearly remember that I brought out a watermelon with my own hands, but how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Hey! Did anyone take it?" Xiao Ran frowned and checked carefully again. There was indeed no trace of the watermelon in the warehouse.

At this moment, cashier Xu Wenya pushed open the warehouse door and said anxiously, "Boss, come over here and take a look at the cash box. It's stuck."

Xiao Ran put aside the matter of the watermelon for the time being and walked quickly outside, asking as he walked, "Has anyone been to the warehouse just now?"

"No! What's wrong with the boss?" Xu Wenya responded with a confused look on her face.

"I took a watermelon out of the cold storage and put it back in the warehouse, but how come it's gone?" Xiao Ran's face was full of doubts, and there was a hint of confusion in his tone.

"I don't know! I didn't see anyone going there. Maybe you remembered it wrongly, boss?" Xu Wenya guessed.

These words made Xiao Ran doubt himself. Could it be that he really remembered it wrong?

Am I so forgetful at such a young age?

"Didn't the cash box just get repaired?" Xiao Ran asked, changing the subject.

"It doesn't work anymore. Boss, why don't you replace it with a new one?" Xu Wenya suggested.

"As long as it works!" Xiao Ran waved his hand.

For him, in the process of running a small shop, reducing unnecessary expenses as much as possible is the hard truth to maintain a livelihood. Now that he is increasingly in debt, it is better to spend as little as possible.

Upon hearing the summons, the imperial physician Zhang Baozang did not dare to delay for even a moment. He hurried all the way to the Lizheng Hall as quickly as possible.

Empress Changsun and several princesses were very familiar with the gray-haired Imperial Physician Zhang.

He frequently went in and out of Lizheng Hall and had become a regular here.

Empress Changsun had always been in poor health, and the two little princesses were still young. Whenever they felt unwell, they would often ask Zhang Baozang to come and treat them.

As soon as she saw Zhang Baozang, the little princess thought of the old man's shiny silver needles and the hard-to-swallow medicine soup, and her heart was suddenly filled with repulsion.

Like a frightened deer, he quickly hid behind Empress Changsun, leaving only a pair of timid eyes exposed.

"Your Majesty, I greet Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Princess..." Zhang Baozang bowed slightly and saluted with his hands clasped, his voice calm and respectful.

"No need to be so polite. Please ask Imperial Physician Zhang to carefully check the physical condition of Sizi and Erniang." Empress Changsun looked concerned and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Yes, Your Highness!" A kind smile appeared on Zhang Baozang's face, like a kind elder.

He gently put down the medicine box and skillfully prepared the inspection tools.

"Second sister, you are the older sister, you go first." Li Lizhi walked to the little Princess Chengyang and encouraged her softly, her eyes full of expectation.

Although Princess Chengyang was afraid of the imperial physician, she was very resistant to the examination.

But when I thought about setting a brave example for my sister, I plucked up my courage and took a few small steps forward.

The little hands tightly grasped the corners of the clothes, and the face was full of tension.

The little princess hiding behind Empress Changsun cautiously poked her head out, and her chubby little face showed a mixture of worry, uneasiness and fear.

She gently tugged at the corner of Empress Changsun's clothes, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Mother~"

"Wo Tingfa~"

"I'm feeling unwell~"

"Don't give me a needle~"

"I don't want seven medicines either~"

The crying voice was full of resistance to Chinese medicine.

The little princess was frightened by the bitter taste and unpleasant smell and really didn't want to touch it again.

Empress Changsun picked up the little princess with a distressed look on her face and gently coaxed her, "No need for acupuncture or medicine, just a simple checkup. Be good."

"Really~" The little princess' eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise.

"Originally, I was going to give him acupuncture, but Sizi has been very obedient recently, so the imperial physician said that acupuncture is not necessary."

Li Lizhi next to her also quickly chimed in, trying to allay the little princess's concerns.

"Hehe~ Wo Tingfa~"

After hearing this, the little princess immediately became interested and became very cooperative.

During the examination, she was quiet and showed no resistance.

For her, not having to get acupuncture is great news.

Zhang Baozang carefully examined the two little princesses, taking their pulses and observing their tongue coating with a focused look.

After a long while, he straightened up and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the two princesses are in good health and there is nothing wrong with them. Your Highness has nothing to worry about."

Empress Changsun's heart finally settled down, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Thank you for troubling the imperial physician."

She nodded slightly and gestured to Hongxiu.

Hongxiu understood and brought out a piece of watermelon.

Zhang Baozang looked at the strange-looking watermelon in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, staring at it straight, wondering what Empress Changsun's intention was.

"Does Imperial Physician Zhang recognize this thing?" Empress Changsun asked softly.

Zhang Baozang narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the watermelon. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Your Highness, I have been practicing medicine for many years, but I have never seen anything like this before. I really don't know."

After a pause, he added, "It looks like some kind of melon."

His tone was full of uncertainty.

"Could you please ask Imperial Physician Zhang to check if this is poisonous and edible?"

Empress Changsun didn't care what this thing was called at the moment. She was more concerned about whether it was edible and whether it was harmful to humans.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Baozang responded, stretched out his fingers, gently pinched a little watermelon flesh and placed it in the palm of his hand, observed it carefully, and then put it close to his nose to sniff it.

Finally, he simply put the small piece of watermelon flesh into his mouth, chewed it gently, with a complicated expression on his face.
