Chapter 26
The first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, casting a hazy gray hue across the sky. As the sun climbed higher, the sky gradually brightened. After giving Yi Luoyue her medicine that night, her fever soon subsided. As for the other people in the room, Xiaoyue was sprawled out on the couch. Gong Yuchen and Bai Die had been busy for most of the night. Now, Bai Die sat on the edge of the couch, resting against the carved fence. Gong Yuchen, on the other hand, rested his head on the table with his elbows propped up.
“Hmm…Hmm…”
Gong Yuchen, who was not asleep, heard the sound and hurried to Yi Luoyue's bed to check. Seeing that she seemed to be half awake, he reached out and touched her forehead again. Fortunately, she was no longer having a fever.
"Your Highness Gongyu, is the princess awake?" At this time, Bai Die, who had woken up, also came over.
"No."
Did His Highness Gong Yu treat their princess's residence as his own? He looked more like the master, but she couldn't protest. After all, he had always been taking good care of the princess.
"I'll go get the princess's medicine first." Looking at the scene outside the window, it was almost time to take the second dose of medicine.
"Bring me a bowl of porridge." Her stomach was empty after a night's sleep, so she had to fill her stomach before taking the medicine, otherwise she was afraid she would feel uncomfortable again.
"yes."
After a cup of tea, Bai Die led Bai Shuang in with a tray containing a bowl of warm rice porridge and a bowl of steaming medicine that had just been cooked.
"Put it on the table first."
"yes."
"Daddy, is Auntie awake?" Xiaoyue got up and sat on the couch, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"It's almost time. Do you want to get up, wash up, and have breakfast?"
"Okay." Xiaoyue got up obediently, and Baishuang took care of her to dress, wash, and then go outside for breakfast.
The weak Yi Luoyue wanted to raise her hand, but she didn't have the strength. Her body was sore. When she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?"
A handsome figure appeared in front of her. Yi Luoyue looked closely and found that it was him. She was suddenly stunned.
"You've been here all night!" He said as he supported himself with his hands and tried to sit up.
"You have a high fever, Xiaoyue is worried." As he said this, he supported her waist and gently helped her up, letting her lean against the head of the bed. He inevitably pulled her wound again, and heard her low cry, and he felt pity in his heart.
"Thank you. Where's Xiaoyue?" He smelled so good. With her hand on his shoulder, she felt as if she had forgotten something and couldn't help but increase the strength of her hand.
"What's wrong?" He asked after noticing that something was wrong with her.
"Nothing, maybe I got confused because of the fever. I feel like I forgot something."
"If you forgot, it means it's not an important matter. Let's have breakfast." Gong Yuchen said in a muffled voice, took the porridge on the table, and just as he was about to sit down, he paused, glanced at Bai Die, and handed the bowl in his hand to her.
"Let her drink the porridge first."
"Yes." Bai Die took the bowl and fed him spoonful by spoonful, but she was wondering in her heart, what was going on with Prince Gong Yu, who had been stealing her job?
Yi Luoyue's eyes met Gong Yuchen's. He had that reserved look on his face again. She quickly calculated in her mind, was it really unimportant? But she really couldn't remember.
"Auntie, are you okay?" She walked in and looked at Yi Luoyue who had already sat up and shouted loudly.
"I'm fine, sorry to have made you worry."
Hearing Yi Luoyue say that everything was fine, Xiaoyueer smiled adorably, rushed forward, held her hand, and cried with joy.
"But you couldn't be woken up last night. Xiaoyue was scared to death. Daddy said you were fine, and I thought he was lying."
"Little fool, look, isn't your auntie fine now?" Yi Luoyue hugged Xiaoyue'er with heartache.
Seeing Yi Luoyue drink the porridge and medicine, Gong Yuchen finally felt relieved. He had nothing to do here for the time being, and it was time for him to leave.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Xiaoyue will stay here. If there's anything, ask her to come and let me know."
Looking at the handsome and tall man in front of him, Gong Yuchen seemed to be intentionally avoiding something?
Imperial Physician Li examined Yi Luoyue again in the morning. Seeing that she was not seriously ill, he went back to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine. Yi Luoyue asked Bai Shuang to accompany Xiaoyue to play in the yard, and she fell asleep again in a daze.
"Miss Baishuang, let's start from here." Xiaoyue'er commanded with a sly and evil expression on her face. Her bright eyes kept turning around, and her mischievous smile revealed some evil idea.
"Miss, are you sure?" Bai Shuang looked at the new young master in embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, you just need to dig a small hole underneath here so that I can crawl through."
"Miss, there are no dogs in the house, why are we digging a dog hole here!?" Bai Shuang looked puzzled.
"What dog hole? That's a door!"
"Dog door?" The lady was puzzled. Aren't dog holes and dog doors the same thing?
"Miss Bai Shuang, are you really this funny?"
"Bai Shuang doesn't understand what the young lady means." Bai Shuang's talent in martial arts is good, but in terms of scheming, Xiao Yue'er is far behind her.
"Let me ask you, where are we standing?"
"The princess's residence?"
"What about the other side?"
"The Prince's Mansion of Xiyi."
"So, if I live on both sides, do I need a door?"
"But there's a door?" Isn't there a main door? Why did the lady open a "dog door" here?
"You went there with me yesterday. Aren't you tired from running?!" It took her a quarter of an hour just to run there. If she didn't make a door, she would run herself to death. Besides, there was already a door. She just dug a hole first.
It's quite tiring. If you run several times a day, like a lady, uh... it's better to dig a hole, a bigger one that you can pass through.
"Okay, miss, wait a minute, I'll go find the gardener to get the tools." After saying that, she went to find the tools.
"What are you doing?"
While squatting by the wall waiting for Baishuang, a boy's voice came from next to Xiaoyueer.
Xiaoyue turned around and saw a boy about her age, fair-skinned, well-mannered, and with a herbal fragrance. She didn't recognize this man, but the smell on him was somewhat familiar, so she looked at him carefully.
"Are you... Li Han?"
"You know me? Who are you?"
"Call me sister!" Hahahaha, the time has finally come for revenge.
"Sister?" Li Han looked at the little girl who was about the same height as him.
"Why? You don't look older than me."
"I know you. Your birthday is younger than mine. So why don't you call me sister? If you don't call me sister, I won't play with you." She didn't lie. She just mentioned her birthday.
"Then let's see what to play with!" When the children heard that there was something to play with, the names were not so important anymore.
"Let me tell you..." Xiaoyue'er rolled her eyes and whispered in his ear.
"real?"
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Xiaoyueer patted her chest and promised.
"Then how can I find you?" Li Han was a little eager to try.
"You can go to the Princess's Mansion or the nearby Prince Xiyi's Mansion and look for 'Xiao Yue'er'."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. You can't lie to me!"
"Lying to you is like a puppy."
"Okay." Finally someone recognized him, and Li Han's little face glowed with excitement.
When Yi Luoyue woke up again, it was already afternoon. She opened her eyes lazily and saw Bai Die busy cleaning the house.
"How long...how long have I slept?"
"Replying to Princess, it will take about an hour and a half."
Outside her window was the small garden of Danguiyuan, and from time to time she could hear bursts of silver bell-like laughter coming from outside.
"What is Xiaoyue doing?"
"Let's play in the yard with Bai Shuang."
"Auntie! Are you awake?" With the help of their friends, they finally dug a "door" in the wall between the two mansions. Three little earthen men covered in dirt came to Yi Luoyue's room.
"Oh my god! Where have you three been?" Bai Die was shocked, not paying attention at all. What happened?
"I'm going to dig the door." Xiaoyueer said first. It was her idea that if you get scolded, you must not implicate others.
"Digging a door? What door? Also, who is this boy?" Yi Luoyue looked at the little natives with a funny face.
"His name is Li Han, and he is the son of the imperial physician grandfather."
"The son of Imperial Physician Li?" Isn't that the Second Empress's sister-in-law's younger brother, that genius doctor? I have to admit, Xiaoyue'er's ability to form cliques is truly formidable!
"Li Han greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." Li Han bowed to her politely.
"Excuse me, why are you here?"
"I came here with my father. He is now preparing medicine for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"What did you just say about digging the door?"
"Uh... Auntie, I'm so dirty. Can I go back home and change clothes first? I'll talk to you when I get back?"
Why does this girl look so guilty? Has she gotten into trouble again?
"Li Han, you can go find your father. Sister Bai Shuang, come with me to change clothes. Let's go, let's go." He said as he pushed people out.
"Ah!" Several people walked to the door and almost bumped into the maid who came in to report.
Looking at the little guys who fled in panic and the maid who just came in.
"What's wrong?"
"Princess, Mr. Li is here."
Li Fei's cousin?
"Please ask him to come in."
"yes."
"Bai Die, go check on those little guys, what did they do?"
"yes."
Sitting in front of him at this moment were his uncle "Gong Che" and cousin Gong Mingxue. Even though he had been rejected several times, his uncle still came to persuade him to marry his cousin from time to time. Now that it was almost time for him to return to Xiyi, he was indeed more anxious. It seemed that Gong Yuxian's persuasion last night was effective.
Gong Che carefully looked at Gong Yuchen across from him, his satisfied eyes flickering between the two of them from time to time. He was still handsome and calm. Besides his superior status, his character, talent, and martial arts were also outstanding. Why did such a good man always refuse to agree to the marriage?
"Chen'er, you are twenty-two years old this year, right? If you continue to use your age to fool your uncle, it will be too much!" Since they arrived at the mansion, he was the only one who was in high spirits from beginning to end. He was talking and laughing, and they stared into his bright black eyes that were filled with wisdom.
Gong Yuchen sipped his tea leisurely. Yes, this excuse could no longer be used.
