Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dango
Liu Yan instructed the palace maid to take the peaches to wash, and moved the round stool to the side of the couch: "How is your leg?" Let me see. ”
"What's there to look at......"
Saying so, Liu Jing still lifted a shirt covering his legs so that Liu Yan could see his legs clearly.
Liu Yan tried to touch it with his hand: "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt much if you don't move." Liu Jing was lying in bed stuffy, his brothers had to study, and his two companions were also punished for his injury, and he couldn't even find anyone to talk to at this time, and he was still very happy to see Liu Yan coming.
The peaches were washed and brought over, Liu Jing said that he would not eat them, Liu Yan picked up one by himself first, and opened a hole in the peach skin, and the juice in it was as sweet as honey.
"Is it delicious?" Liu Jing asked her with a smile.
"It's delicious." Liu Yan praised from the bottom of his heart: "No wonder it's called Peach, who gave this name?" Indeed, it is like honey water. One ate and watched, but the four peaches on the plate were all eaten by Liu Yan.
When she put the last peach pit down, Liu Yan found out that she was startled.
"I'm done eating?"
This peach is not small, how did she eat four of them in this moment? And she didn't feel full yet.
"Little brother, you stole it, right? How many did you eat? ”
Liu Jing spread out his hands to show his innocence: "I really didn't eat." ”
"You've definitely eaten it." Liu Yan gestured two fingers: "You ate at least two!" ”
Liu Jingqiang couldn't help but laugh, and pushed the boat down the river to admit the charge of stealing food: "Okay, I ate two." ”
Liu Yan said proudly: "I'll just say, how can I eat four big peaches." ”
The palace maids and eunuchs standing on the side all had strange expressions.
Do they all see it really, really well? The four princesses are one after another, and the one they eat is called a fragrant! As for the four princes, they didn't eat a bite from beginning to end. Besides, wasn't this peach originally brought to visit the four princes and given to the four princes to eat? The four princes ate it, and it can't be regarded as stealing, right?
But seeing the four princes smiling like this, they were happier than they were when they didn't eat it.
Mao De, the little eunuch in front of Liu Jing, was also happy.
Since the injury, his master has always been depressed, even if they want to break their heads, they can't make His Highness happy.
Of course, if someone's leg is broken, they can't go anywhere in bed at this time, and this leg may have to fall into trouble in the future, then who can be happy?
Mao De took advantage of the master's happiness at this moment and hurriedly brought the medicine over.
Half of it was in a good mood at this time, and half of it was embarrassing to play in front of his sister, and the fourth prince silently dried up a big bowl of bitter medicine.
Liu Yan hurriedly brought the sugar box over: "Eat one and press it." "Ouch, that medicine is so bitter, as soon as she comes in, she smells it, and she feels a burst of pantothenic water in her mouth just by smelling it, and the little brother is really suffering from this sin.
Liu Jing doesn't like to eat sugar, so when he took it and put it in his mouth, a sweetness spread from the tip of his tongue, dispelling the bitter taste in his mouth.
"Little brother, if you have anything to eat, I'll bring it to you when I get back." Also, what do you want to play? Want to play chess? Do you want to read a book? Liu Yan pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of what he could play in bed.
It's so uncomfortable to lie in bed, you can't go anywhere and you can't do anything, you just lie down like this all day, and good people lie down sick.
You can tell the imperial dining room what you want to eat, and you can do it all with the people who are waiting for you if you want to have any pastime. But that's different.
The people below serve them loyally, but when the princess says so, it is a deep brotherhood.
The fourth prince thought for a while: "I don't want to eat anything else, but I think of water chestnuts and dumplings are not bad." ”
"This is easy to do, I'll let the imperial dining room do it when I get back." After speaking, she was annoyed again: "Do you have to ask the imperial doctor?" I don't know if this thing can be eaten now. ”
Liu Yan had lunch at the Four Princes' place before leaving. The injured people eat lightly, the four princes have a bad appetite these days, and today they are accompanied by the four princesses, and after eating a bowl of rice for the first time, they added half a bowl, and drank a bowl of bone broth.
Usually he doesn't touch this soup!
Others think that the four princes don't drink this soup is mostly because the soup is unappetizing, but this soup is also what the imperial doctor said he wanted to drink, even if he doesn't like to drink it, the imperial dining room still sent it all at once, and Mao De and they always had to persuade him to drink it.
Mao De has been serving the Four Princes for several years, and he can guess how many points the Four Princes are thinking.
It's not that the fourth prince hates this soup, he just doesn't like others to remind him all the time and everywhere that he has a broken leg.
No one wants to be hurt, they don't like to get sick, so they have to eat what they should eat, and they have to use the medicine they should use.
The fourth princess came this time, and Maude immediately noticed the change.
The fourth prince was obviously in a much better mood, and the dining room really sent an extra water chestnut dumpling during dinner. What is done is still a lack of oil and salt, not to mention salty and spicy sauce and vinegar, which is nothing. Fortunately, water chestnuts are crispy and sweet. When eaten raw, there is more juice, but even though the juice is sweet, it always has a bit of astringency. When cooked, that's all that's left to be sweet and crunchy.
Most of the dumplings were eaten, and Maude was terrified.
Why is this good appetite and extraordinary? The fourth princess came to visit, but she brought her Royal Highness crookedly?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this one can't go in anymore, I've eaten too much at night, beware of accumulating food."
The four princes used to be able to run and jump, so eat as much as they want. Now I can only lie down every day, but it is really easy to accumulate food.
Mao De recited Buddha to the fourth princess in his heart, if only the princess could come over often when she was free.
Dinner Liu Yan was used in the Yilan Palace.
"Mother, try this."
"This diced chicken is well fried, and the meat is not firewood at all."
With Liu Yan by her side, Queen Cao also ate well.
She hasn't slept well these days, worrying about her younger son's legs, and hating her second son.
After all, it's his own son, no matter how angry he is, he can't beat him to death, right? She threw all her heart on several children, hoping that they could grow up safely when she was a child, and hoping that they could make a difference when they grew up. But the child is not a crop in the field, and can grow up according to the drawn ridges and furrows. The old two have big hearts, partial eyes, low hands, and arrogant temperament. I hope that he can really cultivate himself and his temperament in the temple for a few months, and change his temper.
But......
Although Queen Cao refused to admit it, she knew in her heart that she was afraid that her second son would not be able to change it.
After dinner, Liu Yan told Empress Cao that she was going out of the palace tomorrow: "Big sister said that we will go to the lake to eat crabs tomorrow, queen mother, can I play more and come back later?" ”
Queen Cao agreed to the next thing, but this matter cannot be accommodating.
"You will come back before dark. You have to be obedient after you go, don't make trouble for your big sister, don't run around by yourself, you know? ”
Liu Yan replied wistfully: "Got it." ”
