Hearing what Madam Gu said, Princess Gu started to think. If Lord Huai got to know Gu Chaoyan because of her medical skills, he must be doing it for Madame Rong of the Rong Family.
Madame Rong had never been healthy. No imperial doctors had e up with any methods to cure her. And who on earth was the Rong Family?
The Rong Family was the Queen’s family, namely Lord Huai’s uncle’s family.
If Chaoyan managed to treat Madame Rong, then she would be totally honored! And her future days would bee wonderful.
Madame Gu did not know what Princess Gu was thinking, but asked curiously, “Why did you ask me to bring Chaoyan into the imperial court this time?”
As the question was raised Princess Gu let out a sigh.
She glanced about and saw that no one was closeby, and maids were guarding them before saying with a small voice, “I have been in the imperial court for years, and I have always wanted to get a child. I heard that she cured the Young Master of the Wang Family, so I would like her to check me out to see if I have some problems with fertility.”
“...”
“Mom, you know that the Gu Family is not highly-ranked, so I hope that I could get a child so my future would not be too unpromising.” Princess Gu plained. The King visited her in the court often, but she never got pregnant. So she was extremely sorrowful.
It was an issue about a child...
And Madam Gu agreed with what she said. If her daughter was able to get a son, the Gu Family would never have to suffer like this!
When Princess Gu managed to enter the imperial court, she believed that the Gu Family would flourish too, but nothing actually happened, and Madam Gu had been regretful about the misfortune for a long while.
“I will get Chaoyan here.” Madame Gu was anxious too, and was about to get up.
However, Princess Gu gripped her, glanced about to check if anyone noticed them and said, “No hurry, I have got something more important to do. What I had intended to do was to ask her to check me out. But now she and Lord Huai are in a friendship, and we need to treat her more discreetly.”
“Do tell.” Madame Gu was always obedient in front of Princess Gu, who was, after all, the highest-ranked person in the entire family.
Princess Gu smiled briefly. Then she looked at the slightly chubby girl who was drinking the tea not far away.
Now she had a different value. She had to cling to this useful and practical tool.
“After she got divorced... no one has made any proposal to her, right? I have got a very great suitor, namely Du Bingyan, the second son of Officer Du who works at the Ministry of Revenue. You don’t have to ask her for her own suggestion, you can make the decision directly.” Princess Gu said with a smile.
The son of Officer Du of the Ministry of Revenue?
That would be a great allied marriage if it could work out, but... “Princess Gu, can you make the decision yourself? Who is this Officer Du?”
Princess Gu nodded and said through her lips, “One of my gang.”
Madame Gu instantly understood the point. She nodded constantly, “I am thanking you for Chaoyan’s sake, Princess Gu!”
Princess Gu smiled with satisfaction. The girl would soon turn 15 and she would obey her husband’s family when she was married. She had to keep this tool within her control by letting one of her gang keep her first. In this way, the girl would be totally under her control. And she would not only have the support from the officers of the Ministry of Revenue on the surface, as well as Lord Huai and the Rong Family. If only she could get a son...
Princess Gu did not dare to put any more thoughts into this plan.
“Mom, get Chaoyan here.”
