Chapter 162: The Unconventional Xu Nian

Mo Yan stood up, smiled and bowed, saying jokingly: "Thank you very much for your care, young lady."

Luo Jinan laughed out loud for a rare moment, but Xu Nian didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.

Mo Yan brought the porridge on the table over and said, "Doctor Wang said that Miss can only eat light food these days. This is the white porridge sent by the kitchen. Would you like to try it?"

Luo Jinan took it and tested the temperature of the bowl with his hand. When he saw that it was just right for his mouth, he said, "You've been unconscious for a whole day, so you'd better use some. I'll feed you."

Xu Nian wanted to eat it herself, but the pain from her wounds did not allow her to move, so she could only resign herself to her fate and nodded.

Luo Jin'an was afraid of choking him, so he only dared to feed him half a spoonful at a time, but Xu Nian ate it happily. The reason was simple, because the porridge was very sweet. I don't know what kind of good things were added to it, and how many processes were used to make this bowl of porridge.

No wonder everyone wants to ascend to a high position. Just look at the things they enjoy, they are not accessible to ordinary people.

Seeing that Xu Nian enjoyed the meal, Luo Jin'an couldn't help but smile and said, "Nian Nian is really easy to take care of. She is so satisfied with just a bowl of porridge."

Xu Nian swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth and said angrily, "You grew up in a luxurious environment. How could you know that the ingredients in this bowl of porridge are probably enough for ordinary people to live a comfortable life for a year."

Luo Jinan was stunned and looked at the empty bowl in his hand thoughtfully.

He put the bowl back on the tray in Mo Yan's hand and said, "Chef Yu, who made this bowl of porridge, is rewarded."

Mo Yan responded without saying anything more. He bowed and walked out. As soon as he reached the palace gate, a young eunuch came to greet him.

"How can I ask Grandpa to do such rough work myself?" he said as he was about to take the tray.

Mo Yan paused, dodged the young eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that we won't be able to get this kind of job in the future." He ignored the young eunuch's frozen expression and walked towards the kitchen.

That's right. Looking at His Highness's actions today, he seemed to want to do everything himself. How could he dare to compete with the Crown Prince for work?

As soon as Mo Yan left, Han Shuyi walked in with the medicine she had prepared herself.

When she saw Xu Nian who was already awake, she was very surprised. She knew that Xu Nian was a beauty when she was bandaging her, but she didn't expect that she would be even more beautiful after opening her eyes. Especially because of her injuries, people couldn't help but feel more pity for her.

Xu Nianyin also saw the person coming because she was lying on her side. Seeing that her clothes were different from those of other maids, she knew that she must be the female official in charge of Luo Jinan.

But before she could take a closer look, she smelled a bitter medicinal soup that made her vomit. She had no time to react and reflexively raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose. She didn't want to move too much and pull the wound. The pain made her see stars.

Frightened, Luo Jinan hurried over to hold her arm, not daring to let her move.

"What's wrong? You're injured and you're still moving around. Just tell me what you want to do."

Xu Nian recovered from the shock and said hastily, "Can I not take the medicine? I just suffered an external injury. Wouldn't it be fine if I just apply some medicine?"

Although Luo Jinan felt distressed, he couldn't help but get angry after hearing Xu Nian's words: "Do you think you just had a small cut? Those are knife and arrow wounds. You must take this medicine."

Seeing that Xu Nian was about to cry, he couldn't help but said softly: "Be good, I'll give you candied fruit after you finish taking the medicine."

Xu Nian couldn't help but complain in his heart: That's the trick to coax a three-year-old child.

In the end, she still couldn't persuade Luo Jinan, and looked at the bowl of bitter medicine with a fearless attitude. When she saw Luo Jinan feeding her another small half spoonful, she really cried.

"Luo Jin'an, do we have a grudge against each other? What's the difference between you feeding me spoonful by spoonful and cutting my flesh piece by piece?"

Han Shuyi smiled as she listened, and called a few maids to carefully help Xu Nian up.

Seeing Luo Jin'an standing there motionless, Xu Nian said proudly, "Come on!"

Luo Jinan followed Xu Nian's instructions, pinched her nose with one hand, and poured the medicine into her mouth with the other hand. The whole process was not aesthetically pleasing at all.

After swallowing a bowl of medicine, Xu Nian's face wrinkled because of the bitter taste. Fortunately, Luo Jinan was quick to pick up a candied fruit and put it into her mouth, otherwise she would definitely spit it out.

“Is it sweet?”

Xu Nian looked at the expectant people in front of him and snorted coldly, "What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Jinan came forward and kissed her lips, then said with a shameless smile, "So sweet."

By the time Xu Nian and the others reacted, they were like freshly steamed crabs, and they had even forgotten the bitter taste in their mouths. The waitresses who were supporting her blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

"You...you...you go out, I want to sleep."

Luo Jinan looked at the shy person in front of him and did not dare to tease him any further. He settled her down personally, pulled up the quilt, and then said softly, "This medicine helps you sleep. You should sleep for a while. I will stay with you outside."

Before leaving, he couldn't help but kiss Xu Nian's hair again. This time Xu Nian didn't say anything. In fact, when Luo Jinan said that he was accompanying her outside, Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

She was just an ordinary person. How could she not be afraid when she was attacked by a sword for the first time? It was just that she didn't want Luo Jin'an to worry so she didn't show it.

She watched Luo Jinan walk out and slowly closed her eyes. As long as he was there, she was not afraid of anything.

Luo Jinan sat quietly outside, listening to the sound from inside gradually fade away. Seeing Han Shuyi and the maid retreating, he asked softly, "Did they go to bed?"

Han Shuyi knelt down and bowed, smiling and said, "Your Highness, the young lady has fallen asleep and seems to be sleeping soundly."

Wasn't he sleeping soundly? He was even snoring softly. Han Shuyi was a little bit incredulous when she heard it.

Han Shuyi entered the palace at the age of ten and has lived in the palace for fifteen years. This is the first time she has seen such a casual nobleman.

In the past, the women in the harem had to be extremely cautious in order to win the emperor's favor. Take taking medicine for example. Everyone knew that drinking it quickly would reduce the pain, but in order to maintain their demeanor, everyone drank it in small sips.

Han Shuyi looked at the Crown Prince in front of her who was as beautiful as the breeze and bright moon, and thought of the young lady inside who was as stunningly beautiful as a human being. She wondered if she could bear such a passionate relationship in this deep palace.

When Luo Jinan learned that Xu Nian was sleeping soundly, he finally felt relieved and began to deal with the memorials on several cases.

Because he was now legitimately the regent, memorials from various places were no longer sent to Emperor Renhe, not to mention that Emperor Renhe was now powerless.

He picked up a memorial and opened it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. This was a letter of greeting presented by Marquis Wen Yi. Perhaps when this memorial was presented, Marquis Wen Yi didn't expect that it would fall into his hands.

It is said that Marquis Wen Yi was the husband of Princess Changle, and the title of marquis was conferred on him in violation of the rules because he married the princess.

Luo Jinan couldn't help but sneer. His uncle really did everything that made the whole world laugh at him.
