In June, lotus flowers are in full bloom, with petals spreading out layer by layer. The bottom is as white as jade, and the top is light pink, supporting a green lotus pod with many small holes, and the lotus seeds are wrapped in it.

The weather was hot, and Jiang Shi was afraid that Yu Tanqi would feel stuffy lying in bed. When he saw the lotus in the pond in full bloom, he walked into the pond without hesitation, which scared Danqing.

"Master, what are you doing?" He looked at Jiang Shi in surprise and doubt, hesitating whether to go into the water.

"The lotus has bloomed."

The young man in white clothes looked like a lotus fairy in the water full of lotus flowers, pure and beautiful.

There was a little mud on his snow-white clothes, but he didn't care. He came to a blooming lotus, stretched out his slender jade-like hands, and carefully picked the big lotus.

The whole lotus is useful. Its root is lotus root, which can be used to make soup and dishes.

The leaves can be used to make porridge to reduce internal heat, and can also be used to make lotus leaf chicken.

Lotus can beautify and nourish the skin, and lotus seeds can strengthen the spleen and reduce internal heat.

Danqing said, "Master, if you want to pick lotus flowers, just let the servants go into the water to pick them. Why do you have to go into the water yourself?"

Jiang Shi said, "I want to pick them myself and cook them for Tan Qi."

Danqing closed his mouth and felt emotional.

Ever since Miss Yu came to the Marquis' Mansion, their quiet and beautiful master has become more and more "outgoing and active".

It would be fine if he cooked and read storybooks for Miss Yu, but now he can even walk into the pond wearing a white dress.

You know, the pond where lotus flowers are planted is very dirty. The master likes cleanliness, so even his white clothes are always clean and rarely stained with mud.

Now, for Miss Yu, he doesn't care about anything.

Danqing looked at the young man in white clothes who was holding a large lotus flower from the pond, and hurried to follow him.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Change your clothes and give the lotus to Tan Qi. If she likes it, she can keep one in the house. She can eat the other lotus as she pleases."

Danqing couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you are really caring and thoughtful. Let's see if Miss Yu's two personal maids dare to say anything bad about you."

They actually dared to say that their master was an unlucky person. It was obvious that people who were loved by their master would be extremely happy. How many men had they seen who would do so many things by themselves?

As Jiang Shi's personal bodyguard, the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion was nominally managed by Butler Ying. However, in fact, Danqing knew everything that happened in the mansion and reported it to Jiang Shi truthfully on time every day.

Yu Tanqi's every move after arriving at Wu'an Marquis Mansion was what Jiang Shi was most concerned about.

He didn't say anything to stop her just because he didn't want Yu Tanqi to feel restrained. Instead, he used another way to make her promise him not to eat sweets for the time being and not to listen to those dirty stories anymore.

Jiang Shi changed into clean clothes and then went to Yu Tanqi holding two large lotus flowers.

Yu Tanqi was very surprised to see the lotus: "What a beautiful lotus! Is it in full bloom now?"

She had been lying in bed for almost two months, and her bones were becoming increasingly weak. The farthest she had walked was to the medicine garden to look at the herbs, and then she would immediately go back to lie down and recuperate. However, her complexion was getting better day by day, and her originally pale lips had even taken on a hint of rosy color.

Even her pointed chin became rounder, her cheeks became more rosy, and her appearance became even more cute and adorable.

Her breasts also became bigger. When Linlang and Taohua helped her bathe, they would blush and joke that the young lady had become more beautiful and charming.

Yu Tanqi felt that her body was getting fatter and fatter, and she felt happy but also worried. Fortunately, when she pinched her waist and thighs with her wrists, she found they were still slender, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

This was all thanks to Jiang Shi who personally fed and accompanied Yu Tanqi every day during this period. Not only did Yu Tanqi not feel lonely and bored, but her face turned red and her heart beat fast every day. She didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or for some other reason, but she really wanted to take a cold shower.

After all, who can ignore the charm of a handsome young man?

Cover your face and don’t mention it for now.

Jiang Shi's dark eyes held a gentle smile. "Well, the lotus has bloomed. I picked one for you. I'll keep one in the house, and the other can be cooked. Tan Qi, have you figured out how to eat this lotus?"

In the past two months, Yu Tanqi's appetite has been spoiled by Jiang Shi, and he ordered the dishes naturally: "I want to eat lotus leaf chicken and lotus pod fish buns. Well, I don't know how to eat the rest. You can cook it as you like."

So tonight's dinner for the two of them was lotus leaf chicken, lotus fish buns, moonlight over the lotus pond, and lotus seed soup.

Yu Tanqi eats and drinks soup, and he also needs to drink soup to nourish his body when he is recovering from injuries, so there is soup in every meal.

In addition to drinking four or five bowls of medicine a day, Yu Tanqi has to go to the toilet on time at least three times a day. Although it is a bit hard, it is also one of the few times when he can move around.

Yu Tanqi sighed softly, and suddenly thought of an ancient story he had read. It was said that girls from wealthy families in Jiangnan were considered to be valued for never touching the ground. They had never left their beds since they were born, and they ate, drank, defecated and urinated in bed. When they got married, they took their beds with them.

This bed is called "Qiangong Bed". It is similar to a 21st century RV, but it is much more exquisite and gorgeous than an RV.

But this was a bit scary for Yu Tanqi, but fortunately she was still able to get out of bed and go to the toilet.

After all, although she is lazy and doesn't like to move, she loves freedom more. Not wanting to move and not being able to move are two different things.

Fortunately, I can go out after lying down for another month.

Yu Tanqi happily ate two large bowls of rice and a large bowl of soup, then praised Jiang Shi, "The lotus feast made by Zi'an is so delicious, I can't help but eat too much."

Jiang Shi gently reminded: "Be careful of indigestion. If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, be sure to tell me immediately."

He was careful and thoughtful. He was afraid that Yu Tanqi would not be able to control herself and eat too much, which would cause stomach discomfort. He even personally made pills that could strengthen the spleen and aid digestion.

"I know."

Yu Tanqi couldn't help but look at his hands, thinking that such a beautiful pair of hands, usually either holding a pen, a book or a sword, now actually cooking for her every day, it really makes her blush.

The injured shoulder could be covered with clothes, but in the hot summer, Yu Tanqi wore a light summer shirt suitable for girls in the boudoir, with a wide-open neckline, which inevitably revealed her snow-white and delicate collarbone and half of her round and full chest.

She was very surprised when she first saw such clothes. She thought that the ancients were feudal and old-fashioned, and had to wrap themselves in three layers of clothes even in the summer. But this was not the case.

The reason why girls in the boudoir are not allowed to go out and men outside are not allowed to easily step into the girls' backyard is because girls have to wear cool and comfortable clothes even in the hot summer, otherwise they will get sick from the heat and it will not be worth it.

After Yu Tanqi happily put on the beautiful and clear clothes, she temporarily forgot about Jiang Shi, the "outsider".

Jiang Shi, who had restrained his gaze for a long time, felt a little relaxed and lazy after the meal. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the girl's snow-white and translucent skin on the bed.

His breathing was slightly heavy and his Adam's apple rolled.
