Chapter 1011 Sharing Weal and Woe
When Xiao Zhan returned home at noon, Jiang Xue had just experienced a bout of vomiting and her face was pale, which made him feel distressed.
He walked over quickly, gently carried her to the couch, and asked softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"Yun Che, I really tried to eat today. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fu Dong."
Jiang Xue said softly, "It's just that he vomited it all out after eating it. There's nothing we can do about it."
"I know."
Xiao Zhan gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, you will soon be able to eat food that won't make you vomit."
Jiang Xue suddenly thought of something: "Didn't you buy stinky tofu again?"
"Yes. Because it's cold, I asked the kitchen to heat it up before bringing it over."
Jiang Xue felt helpless. Why was it that only stinky tofu could keep her from vomiting? This child had a unique taste.
She snuggled into his arms, her voice carrying a hint of sweetness: "Yun Che, you are so kind."
"You are my wife and you deserve the best."
"However, it would be even more perfect if you told me the reason why the fire broke out in the Envoy's Villa last night."
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly. It turned out that the previous words were just a prelude to asking this question.
"I think with your intelligence, Xiaoxue, you should have guessed that I was the one who arranged for the fire to be set."
"I also heard that you placed all the people from the Eastern Prime Minister in the palace."
"Indeed."
Xiao Zhan replied: "The environment in the palace is far less free than outside. Doing this is actually equivalent to quietly placing Yun Zhen under house arrest, reducing his opportunities to act."
"I'm afraid it's more than just simple house arrest?"
"He will definitely suffer a little."
Xiao Zhan whispered, "Xiaoxue, Yun Zhen is not your brother after all, and he has his own agenda, so it's reasonable for him to suffer."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you doing this."
Jiang Xue said: "As long as his life is saved, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little."
Just then, a familiar stench wafted over. It should be the stinky tofu delivered from the kitchen.
Jiang Xue hurried out and stopped the woman who was delivering the food: "Leave it to me."
The old woman handed her the stinky tofu as instructed, and then she found a secluded place to enjoy it alone, so as not to disturb others, especially her Yun Che.
Xiao Zhan couldn't help shaking his head when he saw her actions. It was really not easy for her to have this child.
However, this stinky tofu was like lighting a new light in the kitchen of the princess's mansion.
Since the princess can only eat smelly food due to her morning sickness, wouldn't it be possible for them to solve the problem by developing a few new dishes?
So, in the evening, Jiang Xue was horrified to find several dishes with a peculiar smell on the dining table.
The taste is really unique.
She looked at Xiao Zhan and saw that he remained calm, as if he could not smell the strange smell at all.
"What on earth is going on?" she asked.
Xiao Zhan explained: "The people in the kitchen know that you can only eat smelly things because you are pregnant, so they specially prepared these dishes. Xiaoxue, do you want to try it?"
"I can eat smelly things, but you should at least prepare some other dishes, otherwise what will you eat?" Jiang Xue said.
"Of course I'll eat whatever you eat. We are husband and wife, we can share joys and sorrows, and we can also share this kind of food."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "We can take a bath together after we finish eating to get rid of the smell on our bodies."
What is going on here?
Although Jiang Xue was confused, she also sat down. Xiao Zhan picked up a piece of fish for her: "This is stinky mandarin fish, a famous dish in Huizhou, try it!"
Jiang Xue tried taking a bite and didn't feel any discomfort. She even thought it tasted good.
Xiao Zhan pushed the whole plate of fish in front of her: "Eat more, Xiaoxue."
As a result, Jiang Xue not only ate a lot of dishes, but also had half a bowl of rice.
This made Xiao Zhan very happy. After all, she hadn't had a good meal for a long time.
After the meal, Jiang Xue felt that her whole body was covered with stink, even her hair.
And Xiao Zhan has always been by her side, which makes her feel touched and distressed.
"Let's go for a walk in the garden. It will help digestion." Xiao Zhan suggested.
"Forget it. The smell on me might damage the flowers." Jiang Xue frowned.
Xiao Zhan pinched her nose gently: "It's winter now, there are no flowers in the garden, don't worry."
In the end, Jiang Xue went for a walk with Xiao Zhan.
Although it was winter and the garden looked a little desolate, as long as he was by her side, even the most monotonous scenery became beautiful, because he was always the most beautiful scenery in her eyes.
After returning from her walk, Jiang Xue immediately asked someone to prepare hot water and sprinkled some dried rose petals in the water, hoping that the fragrance of the flowers would cover up the smell on her body.
In the past, she only needed to use ordinary hot water to take a bath, but today she was particularly particular.
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly. He had heard from his second brother that when marching on the border, sometimes they could not take a bath for ten days or half a month, and it was common for their bodies to smell, and even Princess Jiang Xue was no exception.
At that time, she had no complaints, as if she was no different from the men in the barracks.
But now she has a higher pursuit of quality of life.
He loved her like this, because enjoying the best of everything was a princess's right.
When she began to exercise these rights, it also meant that she no longer had to work as hard as before, but was pampered.
He also longed to pamper her and give her the best of everything, forever!
“Yun Che!”
Xiao Zhan came back to his senses and saw her in the bathtub. Her long hair was wet and stuck to her face. Her eyes were shining like stars, and she was as beautiful as a painting.
"Um?"
"Come here and smell it to see if my body odor is covered up."
The sight before him had already made his heart beat fast, and now he had to get closer to smell it, which was both sweet and challenging for him.
He slowly approached and took a deep breath, which was filled with the scent of roses. "It smells good."
"That's good."
Jiang Xue got up from the bathtub, wrapped her wet hair with a towel, dried her body and put on moon-white underwear.
Xiao Zhan looked at her quietly. The passion in his heart was hard to suppress, but he couldn't find a way to release it.
He suddenly felt that being pregnant might not be a good thing, otherwise...
He tried to suppress his impulse and walked towards her: "Xiaoxue, I will help you dry your hair."
Jiang Xue smiled brightly: "Okay."
Xiao Zhan gently wiped her hair, and the scent of roses filled her nose. Although the charcoal fire in the house was not strong, he felt hotter and hotter, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Putting down the towel, he said, "Xiaoxue, your hair is almost dry. You can wipe it for a while. I'll go take a shower too."
"Do you want me to ask someone to change the water?"
"No need." Xiao Zhan almost ran away: "I just remembered that I haven't finished reading a book. I'll go read it first and then take a shower."
Seeing his panicked look, Jiang Xue immediately understood something and couldn't help laughing.
When Xiao Zhan returned to the bedroom again, he found that Jiang Xue had fallen asleep, so he tiptoed to the bed with peace of mind.
