Chapter 13: Punishment
Xu Lian has always felt that this kind of thing depends on the appearance, the beauty is called coquettish, and the one like her is called spoiled. γδΉ>ζγnovelγw0
But at present, she is experiencing the most painful thing in the world: a plate of delicious fish fillets is placed in front of her, she wants to cherish but someone does not let her. So she gave up this old face that had more than thirty years in her two lifetimes, imagining the cute and melancholy eyes of the cat she had raised before when they begged her for food, and imitated it and threw it at someone.
The effect is still there, the prince really allowed her to eat this time, but it was not the tempting dishes on the table, but the three kinds of porridge and water newly served by the palace people: red beans and barley, Sydney lilies, and red dates and yams that caused this series of incidents.
That's right, it's Xu Lianding's recipe, the spring peach is boiled and sent, and the three with the highest frequency during someone's recuperation.
If at this time, Xu Lian didn't know that this master had pinched her food to retaliate, then she would really be stupid.
I can endure the porridge at night, but why is it all sweet, there is a lack of salt in the palace, and it is also good to have a porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat.
The prince naturally received her resentment, and raised a gentle and kind smile at her: "Lily cleans the heart and lungs, barley replenishes qi and dehumidifies, red dates and red dates nourish qi and blood, you let people boil it every day and send it, it's a pity that you haven't tasted it well, so I will use more today, so I am too polite here." β
You're welcome, uncle.
Xu Lian calmed down, thinking that she was in her thirties, don't be like this stunned young man in his early twenties, and took a spoon and took a bite of everything.
There is no problem with the taste, the sweetness is suitable, the rice grains are full, it should still be the craft of spring peaches, she is quite happy to be a snack in normal times, but now while smelling the fresh fragrance of fish fillets and meat segments, she always has a feeling of eating chicken in a five-star hotel.
Destroying the heavens, why bother.
The three kinds of porridge were all served in a small porcelain white cup, which was not enough for Xu Lian to even stuff between her teeth, and she sat upright at the speed of light, looking at the prince with hope.
The prince didn't raise his head: "Not enough?" β
Xu Lian bit the spoon and nodded: Two people share these dishes together, I know you can't eat them all.
The prince called "Chen Bao", Chen Bao pushed the door in, followed by a little eunuch who brought the same three small cups, and opened the lid for her very intimately, Xu Lian didn't dare to do anything to the prince, so she could only kick the little eunuch with her eyes to get angry, the little eunuch was still angry, the things in his hands didn't fall, but his body kept shaking and shaking, and Chen Bao, who was seen to be wrong, took it out.
The prince took a chopstick of white fungus bean sprouts, and said to Xu Lian, who was looking at the three small cups without moving the spoon: "It's not enough, use it slowly, don't choke." β
If it weren't for the guts, Xu Lian really couldn't have sprayed the one in front of her directly with a mouthful of porridge water.
Seeing someone's black belly, Xu Lian rested on other thoughts, the depression in her heart overshadowed the appetite of dissatisfaction, she ate the three bowls of the second round without a spoonful, and said "I'm full", then put down the spoon, held her cheeks in her hand and stared at someone with an extremely hungry look, and successfully stared at him to the point that he lost his appetite.
Xu Lian saw that he hadn't even eaten a third of it, and tried to fight for it one last time: "Your Highness should cherish the material resources, it's a pity to have so many left, it's better to ......"
Before he said the most important "It's better to hand it over to the concubines" was interrupted, "It makes sense, Chen Bao." β
Chen Bao answered: "What does Your Highness command?"
Prince: "Let's divide these up."
Chen Bao: "Thank you, Your Highness."
It's just a day like no other.
Xu Lian took it for granted that eating a meal like this would be the end of tossing her, and when the palace people were cleaning up, she wiped her mouth and was about to slip away, but was stopped by someone again: "Slow." β
Why is it endless?
Xu Lian, who had already gotten up, paused and looked at him across a table, tonight's anger and depression reached its peak at this moment, and her face was very unkind.
Chen Bao has been selected by the queen to serve the prince at close range since he was six years old, and he has never felt that the errand of that day is more difficult than today's situation.
The prince loves to read books on weekdays, and there is a red-lacquered bookcase next to the small collapse by the bedroom window. He stood up and walked over slowly, pulled out a book, turned to her, and said, "Come here." β
Xu Lian stuck her neck and didn't move, the prince repeated it again, his voice was slightly lower than the previous one, Xu Lian was a little afraid that he was going to be angry, but he felt that it was too stupid to send it to the door like this, and blurted out in a hurry: "I can go over, but you have to promise me one thing first"
Even negotiated terms with him?
The prince stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at her with interest, some anticipation of what she would say next.
Xu Lian took a deep breath and said: "It was my fault to be gentle with you last time, but I also drank porridge, and I didn't eat a few bites of dinner, you can be regarded as punished, and if you don't let go of such a trivial matter, it will inevitably seem that you are too immeasurable, so you won't punish me in another way so I passed, right?" β
In the end, Xu Lian's fingers twisted the straps of her clothes, hung her head, and lowered her voice little by little, revealing expectation and uncertainty.
Helplessly, the listener was really hard-hearted, and still said with a straight face: "I want to mix it up after drinking some porridge, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" β
Xu Lian suddenly felt that life was hopeless, in order to save herself from fire and water, she actively thought about countermeasures, but unfortunately her IQ was basically below the normal value just after eating, and she thought for a long time and said, "Then why don't I let you come back lightly?" β
After saying that, Xu Lian was almost stupid and cried, what did she say?
The prince was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but smile for a moment, and then approached Xu Lian unhurriedly.
Xu Lian froze in place as if she had taken root under her feet, and the secret expectation in her heart was tingling from her palms, and when he got closer, the moon white clothes were gilded with the warm color of candlelight, and there was still a bitter breath of Chinese medicine around her body.
He reached out and lifted her chin, smiled a little evilly, and his face was full of "Since you asked for it, then I will be disrespectful", and then really took her back lightly.
It was a gentle taste, but because Xu Lian tasted the aftertaste of the fish fillet, her brain immediately bit it, which aroused someone's temperament, not only did the kiss have some punishment, but he also reached out and pinched her earlobe, and then the index finger slid gently down from the root of the ear, Xu Lian's body was almost soft, so she was a little panicked, and pulled his shirt with her hand and pushed it away.
Her sensitive points are the same as many girls, her ears and neck must not be touched, and it is good to touch it with an omen, otherwise even if a girl who is familiar with her suddenly comes, she will be very uncomfortable.
Xu Lian gasped slightly, her cheeks flushed, but her consciousness was still very clear, and she could still use her extra energy to ask, "This is even off, right?" β
The prince held her waist with one hand, seeing that she was a little unsteady when she was standing, and he didn't forget to worry about those who didn't have it with him, and he also played with it, and asked, "What do you think?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her with a smile peculiar to this time, giving her the illusion that she would be taken into her arms and rolled to the bed not far away in the next moment, her heartbeat rate did not decrease but increased, and Xu Lian felt that her face was even hotter.
At this moment, Chen Bao's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, Imperial Doctor Xu and Shen Xian have been waiting for a long time. β
Hearing this, neither of them moved first, Xu Lian was sure that he saw a feeling called pity in his eyes, but he quickly recovered the somewhat indifferent appearance of his usual life, as if the ambiguity in the room was all her illusion. He picked up the book and put it in Xu Lian's hand, and he didn't want Xu Lian to serve him, so he took the cloak and put it on, and said, "I'll copy it three times here tonight." After speaking, he went out, leaving Xu Lian and the book in his hand staring at the pages with wide eyes.
Because when it was handed over to her, it was turned side up, Xu Lian picked it up and flipped it over, and it turned to the "humble first" in the vertical row of traditional characters.
It turned out to be "The Female Commandment"
Who can tell her why the prince punished people in the same way as those who teach etiquette?
As soon as the prince walked out of the door, Chen Bao felt that his face was pale, and he didn't dare to make a sound behind him, for fear that he would disturb His Highness's good deeds.
In fact, he was also wronged, he was originally standing outside the door waiting for orders, and when he heard the silence inside, he knew that it was wrong, but he was instructed by His Highness to remember to wake up at three o'clock in the morning, and there was something to discuss with those two, so he was bold to speak out, and now he is a little unhappy.
Imperial Physician Xu and Shen Dian were summoned here to wait after dinner. This time, the appearance of the prince's diagnosis and treatment of their hospital was really not good, and Imperial Doctor Xu waited for a while, and he didn't know why the prince called him, so he was a little worried, so he hit the idea on Shen Di on the side, and wanted to put something out of him, so he knew it.
Shen Dian had guessed one or two since he heard that there was a letter in Beijing today, but he didn't want to tell him, and he was fighting with him.
The prince sat down and exempted the two of them from the ceremony, first looked at Imperial Physician Xu, and said that this serious illness was cured thanks to the careful care of several imperial physicians, and Imperial Physician Xu made great contributions to the hospital judgment.
Imperial Physician Xu was praised even more panicked, and he didn't even dare to say it, it was all the work of greed, and he didn't dare to claim it.
Seeing that he was humble, the prince didn't go around in circles with him, and asked directly: "I wonder if Lord Xu has sent Gu's pulse case back to Beijing?"
Imperial Physician Xu vaguely guessed what the prince meant, the pulse case had been recorded and had not yet been sent to the post station, and at this time his mind turned and replied: "It has not been completely recorded."
Only then did the prince smile with satisfaction: "Although the epidemic is gone, I am a little unbearable to the summer heat, and please let Master Xu take a pulse to see if it matters?"
Since arriving at the palace, this peaceful pulse is three times a day, and the one pulse in the evening has been invited, and there is nothing wrong with it, and even if there is really something wrong, he will not announce him to take the pulse in the Wentong Pavilion where he received the ministers, Imperial Doctor Xu was puzzled, rolled up his cuffs and stepped forward, it was still the same pulse, except for the weakness of the initial recovery from a serious illness.
The prince waited for him to flick his fingers for a dozen without speaking, looking a little impatient, and played with the jade paperweight with his other hand, and asked, "How is it?"
Imperial Physician Xu hesitated and didn't know how to answer, and suddenly found that the paperweight in the prince's hand was the entrance gift he gave to his young son a year ago, because he personally picked it from Wenxuanzhai, and the texture was clearly remembered, and he instantly understood, and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Highness has suffered from heat stroke, I am afraid that I will be tired of traveling and traveling, and I need to raise it for a while before I can get better."
The prince stopped playing with the action and said with a smile: "Lord Xu's medical skills are superb, and a small deputy court judge is only afraid that he is Qu Cai, this paperweight will be sent to the adult, I wish the adult a bright future, and the apricot forest will remain fragrant."
Imperial Physician Xu didn't dare to answer, so he took the paperweight and bowed and retreated. Stepping out of the door, the night breeze blew and the cold sweat was collected, and the sticky clothes were separated from the skin and flesh on the back.
After Shen Dian waited for Imperial Doctor Xu to leave, he presented the letter from Beijing to the prince, and said, "This Imperial Doctor still needs to be convenient for his own people."
The prince unfolded the letterhead: "It's okay, even if it wasn't before, it will be in the future." 'That' intends to let Gu return to Beijing, you reply to the letter, don't mean too much, follow the pulse of this Imperial Doctor Xu, and then let people hand the words to the queen mother, just say that Gu is already good, don't let the queen mother worry again. β
