Kidney tonic and aphrodisiac soup?!
The crown prince lived in the main courtyard, which was far away from the martial arts arena, and neither of them spoke along the way.
The eunuch guarding the door saw the prince coming from a distance, and saw that he seemed to be displeased on his face, and his heart was full of chuckles. It seems that the prince's sky has not cleared.
Ji Yuan went behind the screen.
Huo Shui'er handed the soup in his hand to a eunuch in the room, "Father-in-law Lao will send it to the kitchen to heat it up." "After all, it's early spring, and after a lot of time, the soup must have been cold, and it is always a soup, but it is not good to send it cold to eat with him.
"Huh!" The little eunuch glanced at her gratefully, finally she didn't have to face the cold air of His Royal Highness the Prince, it was terrible. This grateful look made Huo Shui'er feel a little inexplicable.
"Ah......" Huo Shui'er didn't think much about it, and walked directly behind the screen, but she never saw such a "beautiful view", and just let her hide her face with her hands at a glance.
The man wears only a mid-coat with a slightly open lacing, revealing a large area of bronzed skin, with abdominal muscles that make the girl scream and strong muscles, which are distinctly segmented.
Huo Shui'er said as she stepped back, "The courtier has no intention of offending His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness forgives her sins." β
Ji Yuan looked at her like a frightened little white rabbit and thought it was very interesting.
"Come here." The man's voice was deep and powerful, but it sounded like thunder to her.
"I ...... I? Huo Shui'er exposed a slit in her fingers, a little uncertain.
"Is there anyone else in this room besides you and me?"
"......" Huo Shui'er refused to move over, "Your Highness, this is not in line with etiquette." β
"You grew up with orphans." Ji Yuan didn't say any more, he must have thought of the matter of being separated by marriage.
Huo Shui'er was terrified when she heard this, did the original owner and the prince have such a close relationship, if this made her see that she was different from before, how would it be good to give him a big break to give his little Qingmei to vent his anger? Thinking about it, Huo Shui'er felt a chill in her heart. I was so depressed that I moved over step by step.
Then she stood there and didn't move, although the abdominal muscles were really good-looking, she was also terrible, this is the iron-blooded prince written in the book, "The prince is angry, the whole family of the Son of Heaven Yixun Guogong, and the blood-stained vegetable market mouth can't be washed away in three days", just one line of words is enough to see Ji Yuan's means of governance.
"Help Gu put it on." Ji Yuan saw that she was silent like an angry rabbit, and he wanted to tease her. It's like seeing the aggrieved little girl when I was a child again.
Huo Shui'er was so trembling that he tied the strap of his robe, and he couldn't tie it well after a long time, but tied it in a knot, Ji Yuan wanted to laugh a little, the woman who was not shocked in his original impression was actually still so stupid, and she hadn't changed.
He finally rescued Huo Shui'er from his embarrassment, "Okay, come alone, if you continue to fight like this, it will be a dead end." β
Huo Shui'er's face burned badly, "The courtiers can't do it in the first place, it's difficult for His Highness to be a strongman." "It's a bit annoyed.
Ji Yuan hooked the corners of his lips, tied the belt by himself, and put on his regular robe, and the two of them came out from behind the screen.
It happened that the little eunuch was asking outside just now, "Your Highness, the kitchen has already warmed up the soup sent by Miss Huo, but you have to bring it in now." β
"Hmm." Ji Yuan watched Huo Shui'er pick a place far away from him and sit down, looking like a wandering spirit, he picked up the white rabbit paperweight on the table and played with it, thinking back to the woman's vivid eyebrows and eyes just now, and secretly commented to himself, it really looks like.
"You come to serve the orphans." After the warm soup was placed on the table, Ji Yuan waved off the attendants and only called Huo Shui'er.
Huo Shui'er was still apprehensive in her heart, worried that Ji Yuan would find that she was different from before, so she made up her mind to do whatever he said, like the original owner, docile and respectful.
So she got up obediently and went to serve the bowl of soup that was still steaming, and the woman's little face wrinkled, as if she was very entangled, and did not know what to do.
"Snort" Ji Yuan seemed to see her entanglement, his lips moved, and he spit out a few words, "You taste it first."
Huo Shui'er was blessed to her soul, she finally understood why there was an extra pair of silver cutlery in the tray, it turned out that she was going to test the poison. I have a lot of resentment in my heart, am I being a guinea pig? Forget it.
With a slender hand, he picked up a silver spoon and scooped some soup and silver bowls, and his lips opened lightly, and the hot soup wandered between his lips and tongue. An indescribable fishy smell immediately filled the woman's mouth.
Huo Shui'er couldn't wait to spit out everything she had just swallowed, it was too unpalatable, and those who didn't know thought that Queen Xu had a grudge against Ji Yuan, what kind of tonic soup was so fatal?!
"Ahem, ahem!" Without Ji Yuan to speak, she immediately poured the tea on the table to dilute the strange taste in her mouth.
She choked with tears in her eyes, her cheeks flew red, Ji Yuan saw that she was really uncomfortable, and his big hand touched her back and patted her lightly.
Huo Shui'er felt the strength of her back, but she seemed to be burned, and she didn't dare to jump away, so she just waited to thank her, "Thank you, Your Highness, the courtiers are fine." β
Ji Yuan saw that she was cold and detached, and there was a sense of anger in his heart, so he pressed it down, leaned back against the chair, and squinted slightly, "You look like this soup sent by the queen mother is poisonous." β
"Your Highness is wrong." Huo Shui'er noticed his displeasure, and he didn't know why, so he leaned over to apologize, "Niang Niang sent a very nourishing decoction, and it is not poisonous, but it tastes like this...... This taste, the courtiers are not used to drinking. β
Her cautious approach stimulated the man's eyes, Ji Yuan opened the medicine cup, looked at the medicinal materials inside, and suddenly smiled, "Do you know what's inside?" β
Huo Shui'er looked up suspiciously, "I don't know." β
"It's a deer whip...... This is..."Ji Yuan watched the woman's reaction while stirring the medicinal herbs inside with a silver spoon and reading the name of the medicine.
The man's voice became clearer and clearer, and Huo Shui'er's face was so hot that she couldn't wait to plunge into the ice pool immediately. The burning sensation came up again.
This...... These are all extremely tonic medicinal materials, yes, but they are clearly decoctions that tonify the kidney and aphrodisiac! Ji Yuan must have thought that he had some intentions. Huo Shui'er, who felt that a catastrophe was coming, turned from red to white, like a palette of mixed colors, which was very exciting.
Ji Yuan continued to play with the white rabbit paperweight, half-leaning back in the chair, looking at Huo Shui'er for a long time, as if waiting for her to speak first.
This matter, big and big, small and small, after all, it was Queen Xu who sent soup to her son, Huo Shui'er was just a handler, it was big, the unmarried daughter sent the soup to the current prince, how to look at it, it was also a thought that should not be there. If it is not handled well today, Huo Shui'er's reputation is a mess.
What the result is, it's all in Ji Yuan's thoughts. As long as he has a heart, there will be no rumors unfavorable to Huo Shui'er in Beijing, everything is inseparable from this room, if he intends to punish ......
Thinking back and forth, an idea flashed in Huo Shui'er's mind very quickly.
The girl's back straightened, like a bud in early spring, weak and tough.
"The courtiers have no intention of offending Your Highness." Her voice was clear and beautiful, like a spring in the mountains, and her tone was as calm as the temperature of the spring, as if she was telling a fact that had nothing to do with her. "The queen is sympathetic to the prince's tiredness, and the courtiers are just sending soup to the mother, as for what kind of soup it is, the courtiers don't know anything in advance."
The end is reasonable, it seems that he can't find anything wrong, Ji Yuan can't see her show such an expression, as if nothing has anything to do with her, she doesn't care about anything, and nothing can enter her heart.
Hearing the sound of the bowl falling to the ground and breaking, Huo Shui'er knew that she had made the right bet and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if you go out at this moment, some people in Beijing say that you don't know the rules and try to 'seduce' the prince, do you still say this?" The man's voice was as cold as a sharp sword, and when he read the word seduction, his tone intensified.
Huo Shui'er raised her head, her face was almost transparent, Ji Yuan saw the tears rolling in her eyes, her heart tightened, and the woman read word by word, "Your Highness, there are very few things that courtiers can do, everything is just in your thoughts." β
After speaking, she bowed her head and said no more.
"Gu remember, you used to call Gu 'Brother Prince'" Ji Yuan saw the girl's slightly trembling shoulders and continued, "Since Gu and Su Yu got engaged, you haven't called Gu like this. β
He stretched out his hand to pull the woman up from the ground, imprisoned her in his arms, looked at the two lines of crystal tears on her cheeks, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, one summer, the little girl looked at him with tears on her face. The strength in his hand loosened a little.
"Prince...... Brother. Huo Shui'er moved her lips, and everything seemed to be whispering.
Ji Yuan wanted to speak, but the girl had already fallen into his arms and cried bitterly.
"Brother Prince...... Belch...... Engaged to someone else, Shui'er...... Belch...... Don't dare to call the prince brother like this again. β
"Obviously, you ignored Lonely, but in the end, you cried so sadly."
The man's big hand caressed her back, her delicate body trembled slightly, but the jade arm was obedient and tightly wrapped around his waist, his eyes were a little gentle, his tone was gentle, and he comforted softly.
The woman's eyes were dyed with a little mockery in the place he couldn't see, man, heh, what a cheap word. The original owner really held Ji Yuan's pulse.
The original owner has admired the prince brother in her heart since she was a child, and the two are childhood sweethearts, and Ji Yuan has always been "unique" close to her.
Ji Yuan just felt that the original owner was indifferent to him, so he was furious, this estrangement he thought was just used by the original owner, and the original owner used Ji Yuan's psychology in the book. Now, too, she has to take advantage of the point.
As long as the heroine comes back to expose her "true face", Ji Yuan will be disgusted with her, and before that, she has to go through the plot with this male protagonist in order to win capital for her future departure. Thinking of the group of little milk dogs waving to him, Huo Shui'er suddenly felt that acting was also a trivial matter!
"Don't be separated from the orphan in the future." Ji Yuan stroked the woman's hair, smooth and delicate, like a satin glowing with a beautiful luster.
Huo Shui'er wanted to break free from his arms, but the iron arm around his waist did not move.
She was helpless, and put her hand on her chest, "Brother Prince, after all, you are engaged to Sister Su, and you will ...... in the future"
The woman's face hesitated, and the villain in her heart laughed wildly, looking at this standard green tea x.
"Su Yu ran away from marriage." The man's tone was flat, as if to say, "The weather is good today", which is completely different from what the outside world says, knowing that his fiancΓ©e has escaped and is angry.
As if he had thought of something, he sneered, "What? You don't know? He looked down at the woman in his arms, two fawn-like eyes looking at him wet.
Huo Shui'er looked at him with a clear look, and only said cowardly, "Shui'er also only learned about it from the queen mother this morning." β
In his heart, did he know that it was me, oh, it was the original owner who sent Su Yu away, but then he abandoned this unrealistic idea, how could it be? How could Ji Yuan possibly know?
Ji Yuan's hand took the girl's hand at some point, and the small and delicate hand was completely wrapped by him, "I heard that Huo Xiangxin married a few aunts, your life must be getting more and more sad." β
Huo Shui'er's biological mother died early, Huo Xiang was very desired, and her aunt had to marry her family in one room after another as if she didn't want money, if it weren't for Huo Shui'er's loyal servants when she was a child, and she grew up to be able to use her own means, she would have died in the backyard.
"My father never cared about what was going on in the backyard. The aunts are busy fighting each other. Huo Shui'er shook her head and only said this. In my heart, I praised my speaking level crazily, even if I don't have a mother, my father doesn't hurt, you see how hard my life is, the prince wants to hug your thick thighs for me.
Ji Yuan frowned, "Wait a while, send two girls and you, they are all doing things alone, there are some means of self-defense, if someone bullies you, even let them deal with it, there are still those who are not long-sighted, you will talk to Gu yourself." β
Huo Shui'er looked greatly moved, and snuggled in his arms, "Brother Prince is so good." β
Ji Yuan hugged her and lowered his eyes silently.
