Chapter 202 Moving to the Palace
Because he had eaten little in the past few days, Yun Wan vomited out only sour water, which made Emperor Jingxuan very distressed.
He carefully held Yun Wan in his arms, poured tea for her to rinse her mouth, and used a clean handkerchief to wipe the water stains at the corners of her mouth and the sweat on her face.
Yun Wan felt embarrassed and pushed him away awkwardly, "I'm dirty, don't let me stain your clothes."
"Just change it when it gets dirty, ma'am, be good."
Emperor Jingxuan grabbed her waist forcefully, patted her buttocks with a stern face, and retorted.
The slap didn't hurt, but the presence of it was extremely strong. Yun Wan's ears and neck turned red, and he suddenly stopped moving.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Emperor Jingxuan showed satisfaction. He took out the anti-dizziness medicine prepared by the imperial physician and placed it under Yun Wan's nose. "Smell it. If you feel uncomfortable again, I will order the ship to dock and take the land route instead."
The land route is by carriage, which requires a detour and is more than an hour slower than the water route. It is not as fast as taking a boat, nor as cool as walking on the river.
Yun Wan shook her head in protest: "It's not uncomfortable anymore, let's continue riding the boat."
She was just a little seasick. For example, when she was five or six years old, she followed her uncle on a merchant ship back to Yangzhou. Yun Wan was seasick for several days. Later, she took many ships in Yangzhou and no longer felt seasick. Unexpectedly, after many years, she went out on a ship and the seasickness came back.
Knowing that she was still repulsed by the last carriage accident, Emperor Jingxuan said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Don't force yourself, otherwise I will only ask them!"
He glanced at Yueya Fuling and several other palace maids with a cold tone.
Yueya and the others knelt down in panic.
Yun Wan leaned in his arms and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, please don't scare them. I know my own body well. If I really feel unwell, I will definitely tell you."
After that, she told Yueya: "I'm a little thirsty and want to drink sour plum soup."
Yueya understood that her master was helping them out, and quickly said, "I will go and prepare it right away."
Yun Wan: "Go check on what Asui and the others are doing. Don't let them get too close to the guardrail."
Although the possibility of falling is very small, it is still necessary to warn and take precautions in advance.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure and voice appeared at the door.
"Are you feeling better, mother? Would you like some lotus seeds? I'll peel them for you."
Asui came in with small steps, holding two or three green lotus pods in his arms. He hurried over when he heard that his mother was seasick and vomited.
The lotus stem was very long, and when held in his arms it was half a head taller than him.
Yun Wan raised her head and sat up, looking at the lotus pods in his arms and asked in surprise, "Where did you get these fresh lotus pods?"
Ah Sui put down the lotus pod and explained, "Just now the boat passed a lotus bush, and Eunuch De picked some for us."
As they were approaching the palace, the boat entered a lake where a large area of lotus flowers were planted. Xiao Dezi picked a few and gave them to the young masters.
Ah Sui did not forget to wipe his palms and clothes clean, then he lay on Emperor Jingxuan's thighs and spoke to Yun Wan: "I just tasted one, it was very fresh and sweet, without the bitter lotus seed core. Eunuch De said that the lotus seeds have not yet grown, so they are fresh and tender, perfect for eating raw."
Yun Wan smiled and held out her hand: "Then peel one for me, and I'll have a taste too."
Upon hearing this, Asui immediately became excited. He rolled up his sleeves and started peeling lotus seeds, peeling off the green outer layer and handing the round white lotus seeds to the two of them.
"Two for my mother and one for my father."
Emperor Jingxuan paused as he twisted the lotus seed. "Why do I only have one?"
"Because I want to eat one too, it's only fair."
Asui said as a matter of course that he had peeled only four in total and wanted to treat himself with one.
Emperor Jingxuan snorted and reluctantly accepted this explanation.
After finishing the two lotus seeds in a few bites, Yun Wan smiled and said, "It's really delicious, sweet and tender, without the bitterness of lotus seeds."
Simply put, they are still baby lotus seeds, which are tender and suitable for eating raw.
She didn't feel uncomfortable after eating it.
Ah Sui became more motivated, "Ah Niang likes to eat it, I'll peel more."
Asui, who has mastered the skill of peeling shrimps since childhood, is no problem for the tiny lotus seeds. He peels them very quickly, and each lotus seed is spotlessly white.
After he peeled one, Yun Wan stopped him, saying, "That's enough. If you peel any more, your hands will hurt."
Asui obediently stopped peeling the lotus flowers and stuffed the remaining two lotus pods to Emperor Jingxuan. The meaning was self-evident.
Emperor Jingxuan laughed angrily.
Considering that his wife likes to eat it, he peeled it himself.
However, he was too rough and the small, tender lotus seed was peeled with pits and holes. The mother and son looked at each other and neither of them wanted to eat it.
Emperor Jingxuan:.........
Heartbreaking.
.......
The boat sailed on the lake for more than half an hour and arrived around noon.
Palace maids were already waiting on the shore, with sedan chairs prepared to take the masters to their residences in the temporary palace.
There is no doubt that Emperor Jingxuan lived in Penglai Pavilion, the coolest and best-located place in the entire palace, and Yun Wan lived with him.
The rest of the accompanying Huipin and others arranged to stay elsewhere. They were foresighted and knew that they were only here to escape the summer heat, so they chose residences farther away from Penglaixuan.
Anyway, it's a summer escape, so why not come?
Emperor Jingxuan looked at the children in front of him with his hands behind his back and asked, "How about you guys? Where do you want to live?"
Ah Sui said without hesitation: "I will live wherever my mother lives."
Pei Qian nodded: "They and I are good brothers. We should live together!"
The Third Prince echoed: "I will live wherever they live."
As they spoke one after another, the corners of Emperor Jingxuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Well, these three guys can only live together in Penglaixuan.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of space in Penglaixuan.
He turned to the prince and asked, "What about you?"
The prince glanced at the three of them, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I will obey your Father."
Emperor Jingxuan said: "Pinghuju is also nice, you can go there."
As for the eldest princess, she lives with the virtuous concubine, and it has always been like this.
The prince hummed, "Thank you, Father. I will take my leave."
He felt bitter inside. Why were Qi Chenghui and Qi Chengsui qualified to live in Penglai Pavilion, and even Pei Qian, an outsider, was qualified, but he had to live somewhere else?
But he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction to others. Ever since his uncle's family was raided and his mother was demoted and confined to her house, the prince realized the fickleness of the world. People who once interacted with him enthusiastically now avoided him.
They are all people who curry favor with the powerful!
The prince was filled with resentment and gloom.
At the same time, he took a hard note of the three people in his heart.
Asui sneezed, and the palace maid quickly poured him hot tea.
Penglai Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides and has dense shade from trees, making it very cool. Even without an ice basin, you won’t feel stuffy when staying in the house. It is a refreshing place that is completely different from the imperial palace.
Yun Wan felt much better after getting off the boat. She had a bowl of lotus seed porridge for lunch.
The half bowl of lotus seeds peeled by Emperor Jingxuan was used.
In the afternoon, Yun Wan felt sleepy and took a nap on the beauty couch. When she woke up, she saw Asui and the other two with red mosquito bites all over their faces.
