"It's a relapse. My stomach and intestines are back to being as weak as before. What did you eat on the way?"
Xiao Lingyu stood up and walked towards the tea stove on the table.
"I don't know what happened. I gained a lot of weight when I dined with my elder brother and aunt in the Xirong royal family. But when I arrived in Yongcheng and ate the local specialties with my uncle, I started to have stomachaches."
"Uncle? Are you talking about King Cangnan?"
"Yes, it was him. Uncle Lang sent me to Yongcheng. He took the Song family back to Xirong."
Xiao Lingyu replaced the water in the teapot with spiritual spring water, poured out a cup of spiritual spring tea, and personally fed it to Su Ningjie, "Your elder sister doesn't know you're back yet, right?"
Su Ningjie nodded and greedily drank the Lingquan tea that Xiao Lingyu fed him. After drinking the tea, Su Ningjie felt his stomach warm.
"The tea at home is still the best."
"Second brother, if it tastes good, drink more and fatten yourself up before returning to the Lu Mansion. Otherwise, your eldest sister will be distressed to see you so thin."
"good!"
"Mom, do you want to prescribe some medicine for my second brother?" Xiao Xier asked.
"Mother will go to the warehouse to select herbs for your second brother. Just drink a dose of the decoction and take good care of him for half a month."
"Xiao Zhong!"
"The old slave is here!"
"Arrange for someone to clean up the small kitchen in Canglang Courtyard. From now on, Brother Jie'er's daily meals and tea will be prepared separately in the small kitchen. The food he eats must be clean."
"Okay, Princess."
"Mom, I'm a little hungry..." Su Ningjie touched his flat belly and looked at Xiao Lingyu pitifully.
"The porridge should be ready. I'll go and make sure it's ready." Xiao Zhong left the room in a hurry.
"You just said that you felt sick in your stomach after eating local specialties with your uncle in Yongcheng?"
"Yes, the food was hot and delicious, but soon after I finished eating, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach. It took me over an hour to feel better..."
"What kind of dish is it, do you remember?"
"Weiying, give the recipe to mother."
Wei Ying quickly brought the recipe to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Xier came over and took a quick look: "Is there something wrong with the recipe?"
"The dishes on the menu all have common ingredients, so there's no problem for now. Mo Shu, take the recipe to the main kitchen and have them make one as soon as possible."
Xiao Lingyu suspected that the problem lay with these special dishes.
"There's nothing wrong with those special dishes. My uncle ate them and was fine. It might be because I have a weak stomach."
Xiao Lingyu didn't think so. He had recovered from the illness with spiritual spring water and medicinal food before. Even if he had eaten raw or cold food, it couldn't be so serious.
"Second brother, you're not in such a hurry to come back to celebrate Third Brother's birthday that you're traveling with a stomachache?"
"No, my uncle asked Uncle Yuanliang to prescribe some warming medicine for my stomach. I took care of myself for two days and then I came back. I was fine, but on the way..."
Su Ningjie was too embarrassed to continue. It was all his fault for being greedy.
"What happened on the way? Tell me quickly." Xiao Xier was so anxious that she wanted to hit someone after hearing half of the words without any continuation.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Wei Ying and said, "You speak."
"My Lord, the young master ate very lightly and had little energy, so we went to the villagers to buy chickens, ducks, geese, and fish, and roasted them for him. He then felt unwell and rushed back..."
"Mother...I'll eat light food from now on. I won't eat any meat or fish until my body is well again..."
Xiao Xier: "You said so, don't be jealous when you see us eating."
At this time, hot shredded chicken millet porridge and a plate of vegetables were brought in.
"Eat first, mother will come to see you later."
Xiao Lingyu gave the servants a few instructions and called Wei Ying out, "Tell me in detail what happened in Yongcheng."
Wei Ying then told Xiao Lingyu everything he had seen and heard in Yongcheng, no matter how big or small.
Even when Feng Jinyu caught a cold, Su Ningjie told Xiao Lingyu that Feng Jinyu should give him an aunt.
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect him to be so detailed. "Okay, I understand. I'll have King Cangnan's men come to the front hall to meet me later."
"It's the princess!"
Xiao Lingyu first went to the warehouse to select some medicinal herbs for regulating the stomach and intestines, and asked someone to take them to the kitchen to boil them for Su Ningjie.
I remembered Wei Ying saying Feng Jinyu had caught a cold. In my memory, Feng Jinyu had always been in good health and it was rare for him to catch a cold.
I was a little worried that his old illness would relapse, so I prescribed him a prescription to prevent it from happening again, as well as several medicinal food recipes.
Now that they know Xingyi's identity, their stances will be different when they meet again.
When they arrived at the front hall, the four personal guards sent by Feng Jinyu looked somewhat familiar.
"Meet the princess."
"No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
The four guards raised their eyes to look at Xiao Lingyu who was sitting on the main seat, and especially when they saw her slightly bulging belly, they felt very complicated.
The person in front of them should have been their princess!
What’s hateful is that the emperor actually married the princess to someone else!
I feel so sorry for his prince!
"Mo Feng, thank you for all the hard work you've put in escorting my brother Jie back. This is a small token of my appreciation. Use it to buy some drinks for the brothers."
Mo Shu handed a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels to Mo Feng.
Mo Feng didn't dare to answer, "Princess, we didn't take good care of Master Jie and he suffered a lot along the way..."
"Just take it. Brother Jie is fine and will be fine after some recuperation. Also, to prevent your prince's old illness from recurring, here are the prescriptions and medicinal food recipes for your prince. Let him take a course of treatment to consolidate his health."
"Okay, Princess!"
Mo Feng quickly took the prescription, took a look at it, put it in his arms, and left the front hall with Lei Xiao and his other three brothers.
Not long after Xiao Lingyu returned to his room, Xiao Xier came over with a group of maids.
"Mother, Yongcheng's special dishes have been delivered."
The dishes in front of him looked good and tasted tempting. Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but taste them, and then he ate one bite after another.
Xiao Xier grabbed the chopsticks and ate with Xiao Lingyu.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the mother and daughter had finished the special dish.
Xiao Xier looked down at her stomach, rubbed it, and said after a while: "This dish is fine, my stomach doesn't hurt after eating it!"
Xiao Lingyu thought she was overthinking it. It was impossible for someone else to harm Jie Ge'er. "Perhaps your second brother ate too much and traveled a lot outside. He caught a cold without realizing it, which is why he had an attack in Yongcheng..."
"We are going to the Meng Mansion in three days. What should we do since our second brother is so thin?"
"Three days is enough to make your second brother look rosy and energetic..."
Afterwards, the mother and daughter went to Canglang Courtyard together. Xiao Xier went to the room to talk to Su Ningjie, secretly releasing an imperceptible fragrance.
Xiao Lingyu went to the small kitchen and replaced the water in the big vat with spiritual spring water.
On the second day, Su Ningjie felt comfortable all over when he opened his eyes. After being helped by the maid to wash and change clothes, he drank a cup of Lingquan tea and went to the main courtyard to pay his respects.
