Yingyue took out the ointment she had gotten from Doctor Chen and applied it to Lin Jiuqing, saying softly, "Don't worry, your majesty. This medicine is very good. Doctor Chen said it will reduce swelling quickly and won't leave scars."

"Before I returned, I went to Yinghua Palace to ask. Your Majesty will be discussing important matters with the ministers today, so it might be very late. Therefore, I will not be returning to avoid disturbing your rest."

Lin Jiuqing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, instantly relaxed. He reached out and touched Yingyue's head, smiling and saying, "Yingyue, how are you so capable?"

He thought of all the things that worried her.

Yingyue shook her head and slowly applied it to Lin Jiuqing.

After waiting for a while, Lin Jiuqing limped to the desk, but Yingyue stopped him. "Your Majesty, even if you want to copy, wait until your injury is a little better. Look at you, you've been kneeling for so long at the Queen Mother's side. You can't even walk properly, how can you stand? If your leg injury doesn't heal because you didn't rest properly, and His Majesty finds out, all your hard work will be in vain."

Lin Jiuqing: "...what you said makes some sense."

Yingyue helped her walk to the bed: "If you have reason, then listen to me. Have a good rest today. We can talk about copying the scriptures tomorrow."

Lin Jiuqing was indeed exhausted today. Thinking that copying scriptures would take more than a day or two, he decided to take a break and nodded, "Okay, let's rest today."

Yingyue helped her wash up and get into bed, chatting with her.

"Your Majesty is busy, what about the Crown Prince and the Second Prince?" Lin Jiuqing asked.

In the past, when Mo Xiao was busy, these two children would always find time to come and accompany him, sometimes together, sometimes separately.

Yingyue said softly, "Since we're discussing something, the Crown Prince must be present. The Second Prince is currently studying with the Crown Prince, so naturally he won't be absent at such a time."

Lin Jiuqing said "oh", thinking that in this palace right now, he and the two children outside were the ones with the most free time.

Lin Jiuqing: "What happened in the court?"

Yingyue pulled the quilt over Lin Jiuqing and said, "The imperial examination is about to begin, and the court has been busy with these matters these days."

Lin Jiuqing then remembered this matter.

"This is a big deal." Lin Jiuqing said.

The imperial examinations selected talents for the country. These students were the hope for the future of the court and the foundation of the court. This was also the first time Mo Xiao had held an imperial examination since he ascended the throne, and he attached great importance to it.

Lin Jiuqing thought that not only would Mo Xiao not be able to come back today, he might not come back for a long time and would be busy until the imperial examination was over.

Lin Jiuqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Please keep an eye on the news about the imperial examination for me."

Yingyue's mind raced, and she whispered, "Your Highness, do you want to ask about Liu Jingwen?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said, "I think he's very talented. His name will definitely be on the list for this year's imperial examination. Also, he's quite an interesting person."

Yingyue smiled and said, "It's rare for Her Majesty to be so interested in someone."

Lin Jiuqing also laughed: "It's mainly because of my friend. Anyone who can catch her eye is definitely not an ordinary person. I also want to see what kind of person can make her bow down."

Speaking of friends, Yingyue asked, "Is she the owner of that teahouse?"

"Yes, she is also a very interesting person," Lin Jiuqing thought for a moment, "After so many years, I think I can chat with her."

Yingyue: "...But from what I see, she doesn't seem to be very close to the Empress?"
