Chapter 83: It’s fun to tease me, right?

Xiao Ning casually placed the wooden sculpture on the bedside, took off his clothes, and untied his bra. Finally, he felt less uncomfortable.

She took the white pajamas handed to her by Yuzhu, put them on, sat on the edge of the bed, and let Yuzhu take off the golden crown on her head.

Her hair was loose, covering her sharp upturned brows, making her look much softer.

After turning off the lights, the two of them lay on the bed.

Yuzhu then asked Xiao Ning about his experiences along the way.

Xiao Ning started the story from the assassination, adding some exaggeration at the right time, which caused Yuzhu to exclaim in surprise and become very nervous.

At this time, Xiao Ning laughed loudly beside him.

They chatted until almost three o'clock in the morning before falling asleep.

The next day, Xiao Ning slept in for a rare time. After dinner, he put the bag of medicine residue in his pocket and went out.

I found a trustworthy doctor and handed him the medicine residue.

"Uncle Zhang, can you help me see what disease this medicine treats?"

Doctor Zhang squinted his eyes, poured out the medicine residue, placed it on the table, and identified it one by one.

Having been stored for too long, many of the medicinal residues have lost their flavor and even have a sour and rotten smell. However, based on the shape of the medicinal materials and the lingering smell, Doctor Zhang can barely identify 70% of them.

"These herbs basically have the effects of beautifying the skin and replenishing qi and blood."

Xiao Ning: "...Can you take a closer look?"

Doctor Zhang frowned: "Why? Don't you trust your Uncle Zhang's ability?"

Xiao Ning smiled and said, "How could that be! I just thought...would you like to take a closer look?"

Doctor Zhang: “…”

He glanced at her sideways, fiddled with the medicine residue, and looked at it carefully again.

"They are herbs that beautify the skin, replenish qi and blood, and are very effective for whitening the skin."

Xiao Ning: “…”

Seeing that Xiao Ning still looked unconvinced, Doctor Zhang waved his hand and called the apprentice from the clinic without saying anything.

"Zhu Zi, come here and take a look at these medicinal residues. What are they?"

Zhuzi thought his master was testing him, so he quickly moved closer to the medicinal residue and carefully identified it.

He only recognized a few medicinal herbs, said their names, and talked about their various effects.

"These can whiten your skin, and these... can replenish your qi and blood..."

Doctor Zhang looked at Xiao Ning with a sidelong glance, as if to say, "See, even my disciple can understand these medicinal herbs."

Xiao Ning's mind was full of the word "whitening" and he didn't notice Dr. Zhang's expression at all.

Whitening and whitening...

Which kind person is so anxiously looking for medicinal herbs, looking like he is on the verge of life and death, and the result is just for whitening?

Xiao Ning was so angry that he laughed.

What else doesn't she understand?

She was fooled!

She was wondering why they took the medicine residue to the river to bury it. If they were really afraid of being discovered, why not just scatter it?

It turned out that this was just a play to amuse her.

OK OK...

She got a little angry when she thought about Shang Xi knowing that she had secretly dug out the medicinal residue and carried it all the way back to find someone to identify it.

Xiao Ning wrapped up the medicine residue again and nodded to Doctor Zhang, "Thank you for troubling you today, Uncle Zhang."

Doctor Zhang shook his head. "Why are you being so polite, kid? You already call me uncle, and you're talking about whether this is a bother or not?"

Xiao Ning left the clinic and went straight back to the princess's mansion.

"Is the princess here?"

Xiao Ning asked the maids chatting in the yard.

The sudden voice startled the maid.

She stood up and saw that it was Xiao Ning. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is in the study. I will go and report to her right away..."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Xiao Ning walked towards the study.

"My Lord..."

The maid tried to stop him, but Xiao Ning had long legs and walked fast, so he soon reached the study.

The door was pushed open.

Shang Xi looked up.

The maid said hurriedly: "The Prince Consort left too quickly, and I didn't have time to inform you..."

"It's okay, you can go down."

The maid responded and left.

Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Ning walked in and placed the medicine residue on the table.

The paper package was loose and the medicine residue was scattered all over the table.

Shang Xi looked at the scattered medicine residue, raised his eyebrows, and the arc of his mouth widened, "Prince Consort, what is this..."

Xiao Ning crossed his arms and asked expressionlessly, "Princess, teasing me is fun, isn't it?"

Shang Xi held his expression tight, pretending to be confused: "What did you get from that, Prince Consort? And..."

Shang Xi pointed his finger at the table, "What are these?"

Xiao Ning snorted coldly: "Just pretend! I went to great lengths to save your life, and you actually treat me like an islander!"

Shang Xi was really confused this time: "Islander?"

Xiao Ningke was too lazy to explain this to him, "You have so many tricks up your sleeve, but you don't use them for other things, you just use them on me!"

Xiao Ning glared at him, turned around and walked away.

Looking at Xiao Ning's leaving back, Shang Xi's mouth corners rose little by little, and finally he put his hands on the table and laughed out loud.

Furong, who had been acting as a background, said: "..."

She glanced at Xiao Ning's back as he left, then looked at Shang Xi who was laughing at his desk.

It's been a long time since I saw the master laugh so happily.

Shang Xi had laughed enough, straightened up, and said to Furong, "Send someone to clean up the table."

Furong responded and called someone in to clean the table.

Shang Xi propped up his chin and watched the maid clean up the medicine residue with a smile in his eyes.

maid:"……"

He packed up his things and left the study in a hurry, feeling uneasy.

After walking a distance, his tense back finally relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Why did the princess look at her like that just now...

So scary!

…

Xiao Ning returned to his yard.

The sound of reading came from the west room.

Xiao Ning glanced over there and saw a pink figure peeking at the window.

Judging from her figure, it is undoubtedly Yuzhu.

She walked over and patted her shoulder, "What are you doing?"

"ah--"

Yuzhu was frightened, screamed and quickly covered her mouth.

The sound of reading in the room stopped.

There was a chaotic sound of people putting down their books and standing up.

The door was opened and Yu Qing walked out first. The others stood behind Yu Qing, their heads popping out from the door frame.

Yuzhu's fair little face turned red as liver color.

Xiao Ning: “…”

"My Lord."

Yu Qing bowed to Xiao Ning.

The others came out one after another, stood behind Yu Qing, and saluted Xiao Ning in unison: "Your Majesty..."

Not to mention, his aura now resembles Yu Qing a bit, and he even looks a bit scholarly.

Xiao Ning nodded, very satisfied, "How are your studies going recently?"

Several people: "..."

Can you say that I haven’t studied recently?

The princess and her husband's fate is uncertain, their future is worrying, who can continue to study?

Yu Qing smiled and said, "That's good. The Prince Consort and Miss Yuzhu are here..."

Xiao Ning looked at Yuzhu.

The Polygonatum odoratum still looks like a red shrimp.

Seeing everyone looking at her, her face turned even redder and she stammered, "I'm just taking a look..."

Xiao Ning winked at her and said, "If you like, you can go and study with them. I believe Mr. Yu doesn't mind taking in one more student?"

Then he looked at Yu Qing.

Yu Qing glanced at Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Miss Yuzhu is smart and clever. It is an honor for me to have you come to listen to my lectures."

As for why Xiao Ning was willing to let a little maid go to school, Yu Qing didn't ask.

After all, even these humbler people were educated.
