When Ji Yunhuan woke up again, Xiao Yan had already prepared lunch, which was actually just reheating the food that was not finished last night.
Xiao Yan came in in a wheelchair and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm not good at cooking, so I think I'm a little confused."
Ji Yunhuan was already starving. She had exhausted herself so much last night that she didn't even get out of bed. She finished her lunch while sitting on the bed.
Xiao Yan was busy maneuvering the wheelchair, seeming very excited.
Xiaoyun lay in bed and asked him to take care of her, calling him for everything, which gave him a strange sense of satisfaction. He wished it would be great if Xiaoyun could always rely on him like this.
In the following days, Ji Yunhuan found that Xiao Yan was particularly clingy and followed her almost every step of the way, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Every night Xiao Yan would hug her to sleep, but he no longer did the Yuyun thing. Ji Yunhuan knew that she already had a child, so naturally she would not bring it up.
As expected, those who achieve great things will not indulge in beauty. People like the Fifth Prince deserved to be crushed to death by Xiao Yan in his previous life!
The end of the year is here in the blink of an eye.
The palace was filled with a festive atmosphere of the New Year. The monthly allowance at the end of the year was double, and there was also a reward from the master. Ji Yunhuan actually received the monthly allowance of a first-class palace maid. You have to know that criminal slaves did not receive a monthly allowance.
When she went to the imperial kitchen to get food, everyone smiled at her and gave her the food without her having to ask for anything.
Although the reason is unknown, the treatment in the Eastern Palace seems to have improved.
Ji Yunhuan asked Xia Yang to help find some red paper and cut out beautiful window decorations to add some joy to the East Palace.
Xiao Yan stared at the red for a long time, but didn't say anything in the end. He just refused to let Ji Yunhuan put up red paper in his bedroom, so Ji Yunhuan had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, stop busying yourself. There's no place left for you to post it. Come and eat."
Ji Yunhuan put down the scissors and sat down on the table with a swagger, leaving Xiao Yan busying himself in a wheelchair beside her.
Now Xiao Yan took care of most of the work, except for cooking, which was done by Ji Yunhuan, because Xiao Yan's cooking skills were so bad that the food was really hard to eat.
After lunch, the sun was shining brightly and Ji Yunhuan squatted on the ground to massage Xiao Yan's legs.
"Your Highness, your legs seemed to move just now!" Ji Yunhuan was extremely excited and pressed harder. "I told you that Your Highness would definitely get better. Maybe you'll be able to walk and even run next year."
Xiao Yan said "hmm". It was just an unconscious spasm of his legs, but it made Xiaoyun so happy. If he suddenly stood up one day, Xiaoyun would definitely be even happier!
Wei Ling has brought back the old valley master's medicine. He takes it every day. Over the years, the poison has become one with his body. The detoxification process is no different from pulling out tendons and cutting bones.
So he always took the medicine after Xiaoyun fell asleep, for he was afraid that his painful and hideous appearance would scare Xiaoyun.
With a creak, the heavy door of the East Palace was opened again.
Ji Yunhuan immediately covered Xiao Yan with the blanket. She knew that Xiao Yan didn't like outsiders seeing his legs.
An old eunuch came in waving a whisk. He was wearing a newly made red robe. He smiled when he met people, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows looked particularly festive.
"Why has Chief Steward Liu come here in person? What instructions does His Majesty have?" The guard at the door was particularly polite to the old eunuch.
Liu Xi was the chief eunuch of the palace and the most popular person in front of the emperor. Although he was just a eunuch, he was literate and did not have the gloomy air of a eunuch. Instead, he was very versatile and extremely likable.
It is said that many of the emperor's comments were written by Liu Xi, which shows the emperor's trust in him.
Liu Xi said cheerfully, "Nothing much to tell you. It's almost Chinese New Year, and His Majesty has bestowed New Year gifts upon all the palaces. I have no choice but to go and make a visit."
The guards also received their reward and left happily.
Liu Xi was a little surprised to see Xiao Yan in the yard, but he was very respectful to Xiao Yan. He immediately bowed deeply, knelt on the ground and said loudly:
"Your servant pays respects to His Highness. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Xiao Yan glanced at Liu Xi indifferently, "What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I'm dead?"
Liu Xi continued smiling. "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Talking about death during the New Year is so unlucky. Seeing Your Highness looking so radiant, I'm relieved. I'm sure Your Majesty will be happy when he knows this. I wonder who the girl next to you is?"
Ji Yunhuan bowed to Liu Xifu and said, "My name is Xiaoyun, and I was assigned here to serve His Highness."
Liu Xi's smile deepened, and he looked particularly satisfied. "His Highness is becoming more and more energetic. This is definitely due to your contribution. Serve His Highness well, and you will reap the rewards in the future."
"Yes, I understand." Ji Yunhuan retreated behind Xiao Yan and said no more.
Xiao Yan waved his hand impatiently, "Get up, there's no need to say any more nonsense. If you have nothing else to say, just kneel down and greet me!"
Liu Xi did not stand up. He looked at Xiao Yan cautiously and said, "Your Majesty has ordered me to invite Your Highness to the New Year banquet."
"This is a day for family reunions. Your Majesty misses the eldest prince very much. Blood ties are hard to break. Could it be that the eldest prince has no regard for the father-son relationship at all? Consider this as a request from my servant, Your Majesty, to go and see him."
Xiao Yan's face instantly turned cold. "Oh~ What blood relationship? If he cared about blood relationship, he wouldn't hold a banquet every year on the first day of the lunar year! He just wants me to bow my head! I won't go! He comes every year, and if you don't get annoyed, I get annoyed!"
Liu Xi kowtowed with a thud and said sincerely, "Your Highness, three years have passed. It's time for you to let it go!"
"The Qi family's crimes have nothing to do with you, but you insisted on going against His Majesty and angering Him. What good will that do you? You've locked yourself up here, neither human nor ghost, and are you happy? As long as you go, His Majesty will definitely forgive you..."
