The few days that Shen Yunjiao spent at the Shen residence were basically the most comfortable days she had experienced since she transmigrated.
She had just gotten up that day when she suddenly felt like going for a walk.
A new restaurant called Lotus Pavilion recently opened in the capital and has become very famous. Shen Yunjiao had heard her brother mention it and felt a strong urge to try it.
She hasn't really gone out and had a proper time yet!
Moreover, you can take this opportunity to visit several medical clinics.
Shen Yunjiao hadn't actually given up on the idea of opening a clinic specializing in acupuncture. It wasn't that she was overly ambitious, but rather that she felt she needed to find something to do so she wouldn't forget what she had learned.
Ever since Lin Mama was kicked that day, she has not liked to go out for walks. This time, Shen Yunjiao only invited Fuxia along.
After briefly informing Shen Qinghuai, she hummed a little tune and went out.
Shen Yunjiao first went to the Four Clinics in the capital to meet with Doctor Li and told him her thoughts.
Since that misdiagnosis, Dr. Li had been doubting his own medical skills. When he saw that Shen Yunjiao wanted to open her own clinic and invite several doctors to sit in on her clinic from time to time, he naturally agreed to Shen Yunjiao's invitation.
However, he only had one condition: that Shen Yunjiao would have more opportunities to exchange and refine her medical skills with him.
Shen Yunjiao naturally agreed and even begged Doctor Li to take her to other clinics.
After walking around like this, it was lunchtime before we knew it.
Fu Xia was already starving. She weakly took Shen Yunjiao's hand and said, "Miss, I want to eat."
“Me too.” Shen Yunjiao nodded with a smile.
The master and servant arrived at the Lotus Pavilion, which was packed with guests.
Just as Shen Yunjiao found a spot and was about to sit down, a waiter with a towel draped over his shoulder rushed over.
"Honorable guest, there is a guest in the private room upstairs who wishes to see you."
Distinguished guest?
"Who is this distinguished guest?" Shen Yunjiao wondered, and was about to speak when she saw the waiter respectfully present a silver tray containing a white silk gauze.
This plain gauze was the one she had tied around Xiao Huaijin's eyes that day.
Shen Yunjiao was surprised. Was the capital city really that small? How could she run into the Crown Prince while having dinner outside?
There's no better time than now, so she took the opportunity to explain the previous misunderstandings and her true identity to the Crown Prince.
"Fuxia, you eat here for a while, I'll be right back," Shen Yunjiao instructed.
Seeing that the girl was calm and collected, Fu Xia guessed that she had met an acquaintance, so she obediently replied with a "yes".
Shen Yunjiao followed the waiter upstairs to a private room of the highest rank.
A black-clad bodyguard with a silver sword at his waist stood in front of the door.
Upon seeing Shen Yunjiao, he immediately bowed and greeted her, "Greetings, Miss Shen. The young master is waiting inside."
Miss Shen?
Shen Yunjiao couldn't help but glance at the guard again. Since he knew who she was, why didn't he call her Young Madam Pei or the Crown Prince's Consort, but instead called her Miss Shen? How strange.
As soon as Shen Yunjiao entered the room, her attention was drawn to the person sitting there like an immortal lord.
The Lotus Pavilion restaurant is located at the end of the East Long Street, nestled by the lake. There are many painted boats on the lake, and the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments drift into the private rooms with the lake breeze.
Xiao Huaijin wore a white satin robe with silver patterns, his hair was tied up with a crown, his eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and his temperament was elegant and handsome.
If the noble ladies of the capital saw such a handsome man, they would probably all forget about Pei Zhixuan.
After Shen Yunjiao entered the room, the guards quickly closed the door.
Xiao Huaijin turned his gaze to Shen Yunjiao.
Today she was dressed in a simple white silk dress, her head bowed, her fair and delicate neck timidly revealed, like a trembling little rabbit.
Xiao Huaijin's heart stirred slightly. He smiled gently and asked in a low voice, "Why are you afraid of me after just a few days, Miss Shen?"
The words "Miss Shen" at the end carried a profound meaning, which frightened Shen Yunjiao so much that her legs went weak, and she quickly knelt down, begging, "Your Highness, please spare my life."
"You saved me, so why are you begging for mercy now?" Xiao Huaijin stood up and strode up to Shen Yunjiao.
His voice was deep, cold, and very magnetic.
She's more than qualified to be a voice actor.
As Shen Yunjiao was lost in thought, a steady force came from her arm, and Xiao Huaijin actually reached out and helped her up.
Good heavens, the favorable treatment made her even more uneasy.
Xiao Huaijin smelled that long-lost fragrance, and his mood became much more relaxed and comfortable.
Shen Yunjiao is beautiful and smells wonderful; she's truly irresistible.
"You haven't answered my question yet," Xiao Huaijin replied with a faint smile.
Shen Yunjiao quickly came to her senses and said, "I did not intend to hide my identity at that time. Firstly, I am already a married woman and should not show my face in public. Therefore, I could not explain my origins after saving Your Highness."
"Secondly, at the time, I was unaware that the 'Young Master Chen' I rescued was actually you."
Xiao Huaijin took a step closer and said with a low laugh, "Your words make it sound like it's my fault, so it's only right that I apologize to you."
Shen Yunjiao was sweating profusely and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Hehehe, Your Highness has done nothing wrong, the fault lies entirely with me."
"Okay, I forgive you."
Seeing this, Shen Yunjiao raised her eyes and secretly observed Xiao Huaijin's expression. Seeing that he showed no anger or annoyance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Like a student who finally passed an exam, she became a little smug as soon as she relaxed, "Your Highness, my identity has been hidden so well that you probably didn't even notice, did you?"
Xiao Huaijin nodded, "Indeed, I didn't notice anything." Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, "Your medical skills are quite good."
Shen Yunjiao wanted to wave her hand modestly and say, "Not at all," but Xiao Huaijin asked again, "From elementary school?"
It seems he already asked that question once before.
Did he have some doubt about this answer?
Shen Yunjiao couldn't very well say that she learned it in her past life, could she?
After a moment's thought, she replied, "I was frail and sickly from a young age, and through exposure to these things, I became a doctor myself."
Fortunately, I had asked Granny Lin beforehand, which allowed me to come up with such a plausible excuse.
Xiao Huaijin was taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly remembered that Shen Yunjiao had fallen into the water that day and then developed a fever after returning home.
With such a frail body, she really needs to take good care of herself.
Xiao Huaijin's eyes flickered.
He really wanted to capture this little white rabbit and take it back to the palace to raise it properly.
"Your Highness, may I sit down and have some food? I'm so hungry," Shen Yunjiao said pitifully, rubbing her stomach. She was about to faint if she didn't eat.
Xiao Huaijin then noticed that Shen Yunjiao's face seemed a little pale.
He nodded.
Shen Yunjiao happily took her seat, and just as she was about to pick up a bite of food, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Huaijin still standing out of the corner of her eye. "Your Highness, would you like to join us?"
In Shen Yunjiao's world, there was no concept of hierarchy or gender distinctions, so she naturally invited Xiao Huaijin.
Xiao Huaijin felt no discomfort; instead, he felt a sense of novelty. Shen Yunjiao was initially afraid of him, but since he stopped blaming her, she became less reserved.
It's both simple and fun.
Xiao Huaijin sat down next to Shen Yunjiao, seemingly unaware of the distance between them.
They were shoulder to shoulder with her.
Shen Yunjiao silently moved to the side, and Xiao Huaijin, without changing his expression, also moved closer to her.
"Your Highness, it's difficult for me to pick up food like this," Shen Yunjiao said awkwardly.
Xiao Huaijin then let her go, but he didn't touch his chopsticks, focusing intently on watching her eat.
Fortunately, Shen Yunjiao ate very quickly and was full in no time.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. I shall take my leave now." Shen Yunjiao wiped her mouth with a napkin with satisfaction and placed the napkin on the silver plate.
She was just about to get up when she saw Xiao Huaijin's expression suddenly change.
