Chapter 50: A Good Impression
He was right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yingsu lowered her head slightly, her mind spinning rapidly.
But she didn't despair. Her innate optimism always led her to believe that there was no end to the heavens.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes lit up.
She looked up at Wei Chengqin and smiled, "I know, so I don't dare to force Brother Wei." After listening to Brother Wei's words, I decided not to go against the ban of the East Palace to inquire into their residence. β
Did she really give up? Wei Chengqin looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing that there was neither a disappointed nor angry expression on Wen Yingsu's face, Wei Chengqin felt a little guilty, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, it's really like this...... It's not easy. β
He didn't say it touched his bottom line.
Yingsu said in a gentle voice: "I know that I made Brother Wei embarrassed by this, so it should be me who asks Brother Wei for forgiveness." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.
Wen Yingsu saluted him and said goodbye, turned around and left on the other side of the path.
Wei Chengqin looked at her back and sighed softly.
This woman, I'm afraid the purpose of entering the palace is not simple. He realized it, and he couldn't help but worry about her.
Wei Chengqin decided to pay more attention to her affairs in the future.
Yingsu went back to her room to change her clothes, rearranged her hair in a bun, and went to the prince's residence.
She's on the evening shift today.
When she arrived at the gate of the prince's bedroom, she hesitated slightly.
"Why don't you go in?" Yao Xue's voice sounded from Yingsu's side.
Yingsu was startled, and hurriedly said, "I suddenly lost my mind just now. β
"Serving His Highness will never be able to leave God, you have to pay attention in the future."
"Yes."
"Let's go inside." Yao Xue said as she walked in front.
Yingsu hurriedly followed.
Prince Zhao Yuliang is having dinner. Beside him stood two maids and two men from the catering department.
On the table, there are stir-fried celery with shredded pork, steamed pumpkin, stir-fried carrots with garlic, steamed pork ribs with ginger and soy sauce, Chinese cabbage with vinegar, mapo tofu, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, bean rice, yam rice porridge and barley bitter gourd soup.
This is Yingsu's menu specially arranged for his current physical condition.
Perhaps the food was very appetizing, and the prince ate it with relish.
Seeing Yaoxue and Yingsu coming in, the two palace maids on the morning shift quietly retreated.
Yaoxue and Yingsu stood on either side of the prince.
From where Yingsu was standing, the prince's side face and side body could be seen.
Yingsu found that the prince's sitting posture was upright and elegant, and his posture when eating was also very elegant, so she felt that watching him eat was also a pleasure.
"The steamed pork ribs with ginger and soy sauce are very delicious, the vinegared cabbage and garlic sprouts fried bacon are also good, and the barley and bitter gourd soup are very delicious, you can let the chef often make these things." Zhao Yuliang said to Wen Yingsu and glanced at Yingsu.
He had a pleasant smile on his face.
Ying Su hurriedly said, "Yes."
Seeing that he was happy, Yingsu was even happier than if she had eaten something delicious.
After all, he doesn't seem to be very happy on weekdays.
At this moment, Yingsu suddenly had a feeling that the years were good.
After dinner, Zhao Yuliang went to the study to read.
Yaoxue said to Yingsu: "We don't have to wait by His Highness's side all the time when he reads, but we have to prepare a pot of lightly brewed green tea for him, and go in every two quarters of an hour to refill it for him." β
Yingsu whispered: "Your Highness has just subsided from fever, and it is not appropriate to drink tea, why don't you make him a pot of Luo Han Guo lemonade?" β
Yaoxue's face was slightly gloomyβshe really hadn't paid attention to this detail.
Therefore, Yaoxue pondered for a moment before lazily saying, "Then you go in and ask him." β
Yingsu stepped lightly into the prince's study.
Night had fallen, and the room was dark except for a small light on the prince's table.
Yingsu felt inexplicably frightened, and her body trembled a little.
Are you afraid of the environment or the person in the house? Yingsu couldn't say clearly for a while.
Maybe both.
Ying Su took a deep breath, and Fang Zhuang walked towards him boldly.
"Your Highness, can I use monk fruit lemonade instead of tea? You have a high fever that has just subsided, and it is not suitable for tea. Yingsu asked softly a foot away from the prince.
Because she was not far away, she saw clearly the title of the book in his hand - "On Balance" by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yingsu had also studied this book before, and had discussed several arguments in the book with her father and brother, so she was quite impressed by this book, and now that the prince is also reading this book, she suddenly has a sense of heart-to-heart.
It's just that Yingsu is also very clear about her current identity and situation, so she doesn't dare to reveal half of her inner thoughts, and she still looks like she hasn't noticed this book.
The prince heard her question, and looked up at her from the book.
He suddenly remembered that when he was very young, Empress Jingzhuang had instructed him not to drink tea during the cold and fever period, and he never listened to anyone else's advice to him since.
The prince's heart warmed inexplicably, and he nodded at her.
Yingsu hurriedly took the order out of the study.
As Yingsu walked out, the prince quietly looked at her back for a moment.
Although there were many people in the East Palace who admired the crown prince, the prince knew that they admired his status, not himself.
He had already learned to see the essence through the phenomenon, so he was inevitably disgusted with their usual ways.
And the woman in front of him, she never showed a flattering look in front of him, and never took the initiative to approach him or flatter him, but made him feel real and amiable, and wanted to get closer to him.
Although Zhao Yuliang is a prince, he has never felt that the palace maid is inferior. He respects people of all walks of life and is happy to make friends with all kinds of people.
He has always admired people who are noble in heart, not kitsch, and not pretentious.
Yingsu walked out and thought back to the hands of the crown prince Zhao Yuliang holding the book. His fingers were white, slender, and well-jointed.
These hands once held her chin and held her hands tightly.
And she and him have only met two or three times in total, and the two are not familiar with each other at all, are these actions ...... Not quite suitable?
Thinking of this, Yingsu's heart jumped violently.
Yaoxue was wiping the tables and chairs in the hall, and when she saw Yingsu coming out, she said while wiping: "The people on the morning shift are too disagreeable, and the utility room is a mess, if His Highness sees it, he will definitely criticize it." β
Yingsu said, "Then I'll clean up after soaking the monk fruit water." β
"Hmm."
Yingsu brought the soaked monk fruit lemonade into it and gave it to the prince and walked out.
Yaoxue said to her, "You can carry a lamp." Also, rats are often seen there at night, so be careful. β
Yingsu nodded, picked up the lamp and went to the utility room.
After a while, Yingsu, who was busy in the utility room, heard footsteps outside, and looked at the door vigilantly.
The person who came was Yaoxue, and she said to Yingsu: "Guo Chenghui is coming over soon, let's go to the hall to entertain first." β
Yingsu hurriedly cleaned her hands and followed Yaoxue to the hall.
