Prince Yan still has feelings for Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan caught a cold, and Prince Yan decided to visit her out of consideration for their past friendship.
"Your Highness, I will accompany you." Chen Wei supported her waist and slowly stood up, letting Cai Lian get the cloak.
King Yan smiled softly and held Shen Wei's warm hand: "It's snowing outside and it's freezing cold. Weiwei, you go to sleep first. I'm going to Qixue Pavilion and will be back soon."
Shen Wei wanted to see Prince Yan out, but was stopped by Prince Yan. She could only watch Prince Yan leave reluctantly, until his tall figure gradually disappeared in the vast sea of snow.
"Cai Lian, bring some tea oil." As King Yan left, the smile on Shen Wei's face slowly faded.
She wants to apply tea oil on her belly to minimize stretch marks.
...
The snow was still falling at night, piling up on the stone pavement of the palace.
Not long after Prince Yan walked out of the Glazed Pavilion, he suddenly stopped. He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go back to Liuli Pavilion and get some plum blossom baked cakes and send them to Qixue Pavilion."
King Yan really likes the plum blossom baked cakes made by Chen Wei. They are fragrant and crispy, with a faint plum blossom fragrance mixed with the aroma of wheat. They are very delicious.
When Liu Ruyan was sick, King Yan brought her some plum blossom cakes to try, which was a kind of comfort.
The young eunuch took the order and ran back to the Glazed Pavilion in the snow to get the baked cakes.
King Yan walked on the white snow and came to Qixue Pavilion. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the Qixue Pavilion was shrouded in vast white, like a fairy tower in a myth. Prince Yan was slightly stunned, and vaguely recalled his first meeting with Liu Ruyan.
It snowed in Yanjing that year.
The Prince of Yan was riding his horse back to Yanjing. When passing by a plum blossom forest, the horse was frightened and almost hit a woman who was admiring the snow under a plum tree. Prince Yan helped up Liu Ruyan, who was about to fall. Their eyes met, plum petals fell, snowflakes danced, and it was a glance that lasted for a lifetime.
Later, Liu Ruyan entered Prince Yan's mansion as a concubine, and the two had a brief period of good times together.
Prince Yan walked into Qixue Pavilion with his hands behind his back. The court doctor hurried forward and saluted: "Greetings to the prince."
Prince Yan waved his hand to let the court doctor stand up and asked, "How is Ruyan's health?"
The palace doctor said: "The dampness attacked from outside, the cold entered the body, and the wind and cold caused a high fever. I have prescribed medicine for the cold for the concubine. Take it on time every day, and you will definitely get better in time."
Xuemei has gone to boil the medicine.
Prince Yan lifted the silver-white gauze curtain and walked into Liu Ruyan's cold bedroom. The room was elegantly decorated. On the desk was the unfinished copy of "Flower Garden" by Liu Ruyan. There were fresh white plum blossoms in the vase, and bursts of elegant plum blossom fragrance wafted from the incense burner.
Liu Ruyan lay quietly on the bed, her black hair scattered on her shoulders, a white cooling towel placed on her forehead, her face was pale and bloodless, like a sleeping ice beauty.
She looks like Xi Shi when she is sick, making people love her.
Prince Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Liu Ruyan's quiet and beautiful face, feeling a little nostalgic. The beautiful scenes of the two of them getting along flashed through Prince Yan's mind.
“Ahem…”
After half an hour, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and coughed twice. His eyelids moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. Her vision went from blurry to clear, and Liu Ruyan saw the handsome face of King Yan.
She murmured, "My Lord..."
With a gentle call, King Yan's heart softened instantly.
He said, "I am here, Ruyan should take good care of herself."
At this time, Xuemei brought the prepared medicine into the house. It was rare for Prince Yan to do it himself. He took out a small white spoon and fed Liu Ruyan the medicine himself.
The medicine is bitter.
Liu Ruyan felt very sweet.
She looked at the handsome man who was so close to her, and in a trance, she saw the young man riding a horse through the plum blossom forest that year. The two of them were like a couple made in heaven, and their past seemed like a dream.
Xuemei stood quietly aside, her heart filled with joy. Prince Yan personally fed the medicine to his master, and the atmosphere between them was ambiguous, just like when they first met.
Xuemei secretly stroked the chilblains on her fingers, thinking with relief that her hard times were finally over. Liu Ruyan will definitely be favored again, and Xuemei, the little maid, will also be able to rise to a high position!
After finishing the bowl of medicine, Xuemei happily took the bowl away and handed it to other maids in the yard. There were four maids serving Liu Ruyan in Qixue Pavilion, but Liu Ruyan did not like having too many people around, so she usually only allowed Xuemei to serve her closely.
In the room, Prince Yan helped Liu Ruyan lie down. He said, "It's cold in winter and you are weak. You should wear more clothes when you go out to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms."
Liu Ruyan lay on the bed, her beautiful eyes moving, revealing a bit of grievance: "Your Majesty, do you think my illness is caused by the cold weather?"
King Yan was stunned: "Are there other reasons?"
Liu Ruyan lowered her beautiful eyes and said, "I was pissed off by the Shen family."
King Yan was confused.
Liu Ruyan has a cold and a high fever, how is Weiwei involved?
Liu Ruyan said gloomily, "The white plum blossoms are like jade, blooming proudly in the heavy snow. But Shen picked the white plum blossoms and made them into baked cakes. I was so angry that I got sick."
She didn’t think that she got sick because she didn’t wear enough clothes, but that Shen Wei made her angry was the main reason.
King Yan was speechless for a while.
Outside the house, the young eunuch ran in with a food box and handed it over respectfully: "Your Majesty, I followed your instructions and went back to the Glazed Pavilion to get the plum blossom scones. Master Shen said that the remaining plum blossom scones were not fresh, so he specially asked Miss Cailian to make a few fresh scones."
The young eunuch opened the food box and took out a small white plate.
Four delicious-looking scones were neatly placed on a small plate, still steaming hot.
The young eunuch did not forget to flatter Liu Ruyan, and said with a smile: "Master Liu, the prince treats you very well. The prince likes to eat plum blossom baked cakes, and he did not forget to send a portion to Master Liu. It can be seen that Master Liu is very important to the prince."
King Yan: ...
Liu Ruyan: ...
