Chapter 75 If you like someone, you should just... Like...
There was no wind at this moment, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Even Xiao Huang was nowhere to be seen, and the trees stood there as if dead.
"Tiantian, I..."
"Your coat is crooked."
They both spoke at the same time, one weak and the other gentle and soft.
Ye Jindian pinched the tie of Zhan Yi and looked up at him, her peach blossom eyes still moist.
Zhang Min didn't see disappointment, anger, or rage in those eyes... except for the bright and radiant glow of peach blossoms after the rain, those eyes were unexpectedly calm.
"You..." He swallowed, "You don't have anything to ask me?"
Ye Jindian lowered her head to tighten the laces and pulled the clothes on him straight. "What about you?" She raised her eyes. "Do you have anything you want to tell me?"
Zhang Min's lips were half open.
But he had too many worries and concerns to express them in words.
Rather than being forgiven, he could not accept any damage to her body.
Ye Jindian waited for a moment, then turned and handed the bowl over: "Then have breakfast first."
Zhang Min took it silently, scooped up the soup noodles, and fried the bacon and vegetables separately, and placed them on the noodles.
He had no appetite for this breakfast.
I washed two large bowls and almost broke them into two pieces.
Seeing that he looked worried, Ye Jindian picked a peach from the tree and washed it.
"Why don't you pick mulberries, madam?"
Before Zhang Min could finish his words, the green peach with cool moisture was stuffed into his mouth.
Ye Jindian: "Take a bite."
Zhang Min was puzzled, but did as he was told.
The peaches were bitter, astringent, and a little sour, making them really hard to swallow.
Ye Jindian asked him, "Tell me the truth, is it delicious?"
Zhang Min: “…”
Can he tell the truth at this time?
"It tastes terrible." Ye Jindian leaned over and kissed him, frowned, and said affirmatively, "It tastes terrible."
Zhang Min turned around to find a ladle, scooped up a ladle of water and handed it to her: "Madam, rinse your mouth."
Ye Jindian shook her head and pushed it over: "You rinse."
She just put it on to see how much smell remained.
But he was very honest. He bit it right away and nibbled off half of it.
Zhang Min lowered his head and took a sip of water.
Ye Jindian squatted beside him, holding her chin and looking at him: "Everything has its own destiny. Unexpected fruits are mostly green, sour and bitter. If the time has not come yet, it is okay to be understanding. When the time comes and the fruit is ripe, it will naturally be ready for you to eat."
Zhang Min choked on a mouthful of water, and after spitting out the water, he coughed violently.
"Husband!" Ye Jindian was startled and quickly stroked his back.
Zhang Min suddenly raised his eyes and grabbed her hand: "Madam, are you..."
Ye Jindian pulled her wrist free, took the water scoop from his hand, put it back, took out a handkerchief and wiped the water from his lips, then stuffed the handkerchief into his palm. She turned and waved to the lying little yellow dog, playing with it, rubbing its head, back, and belly, and ignored him.
Zhang Min turned his gaze to Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang tilted his head, looked at him, and then rushed into Ye Jindian's arms with a smile, crying "Aoao" and wagging his tail like a banana in the wind.
Zhang Min: “…”
What a waste of the dried meat he fed us!
*
Ye Jindian has been busy lately.
Apart from the fact that her memory had not recovered and she only had occasional headaches, she had completely forgotten when she last had acupuncture and took medicine, and what kind of tonic food she had taken.
In short: I know nothing about anything.
All inquiries about the patient's condition depended on Zhang Min to answer.
Wei Chulan simply stopped asking her and only asked Zhang Min.
"She's fine now. After a while, the bruises will completely heal, and she'll slowly regain her memory." She picked up a pen and wrote down a few dietary prescriptions. "No need for acupuncture or medication. All medicine is toxic. Just let her rest well, avoid getting too excited, and eat some nourishing food. That will be enough."
Zhang Min agreed to everything and started writing frantically.
Ye Jindian suddenly realized that he had come here only to contribute a pulse condition.
After showing her the recipe, Zhang Min kept it for safekeeping. "Don't worry, my lady. I'll cook it and ask Luo Ying to help deliver it. You've worked hard researching weapons for the court. For such a small matter, I can just ask the Right Prime Minister for a place to do it."
He sent her back to the courtyard and then returned to the prime minister's residence to handle official business.
Ye Jindian was on leave and didn't have to go to the Military Arsenal. She found a basket to pick mulberries, washed them and made wine.
Since Xiao Huang couldn't carry the basket, she started to bite off the fallen branches and leaves and piled them together to make it easier for her to deal with them.
While taking a break to drink water, she accidentally glanced at it and picked up the dog's penis and rubbed it.
It's just a matter of time before a kiss.
It was almost dusk when the altar was sealed.
Orange-yellow light poured through the gaps in the clouds, falling on the lush green ground, covering it with a layer of hazy golden gauze.
As soon as she came out of the cellar, she heard Xiao Huang barking.
Leaning out of the window, she saw Zhang Heng waving at her. "Sister-in-law, the princess and I are on holiday today. We just returned from the outer city and brought some game. We asked the chef at Chunxiao Tower to prepare it. Let's go and eat together."
Well, give her some nourishment.
Look at these few days, it seems to have reduced by two points.
It's really heartbreaking.
Ye Jindian originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the strangeness she noticed in her dream, she agreed.
She changed into a clean dress and followed Zhang Heng to Chunxiao Tower, where she happened to meet Wang Si Niang pushing a cart to close her stall.
"Miss Ye, why are you going out so late?"
Wang Si Niang had never seen Zhang Heng before, so she looked at him a few more times out of curiosity.
The other person was dressed in silk and satin, gold hairpins and jade pendants, and her skin was smooth and delicate. She was obviously a rich lady.
"Yeah." Ye Jindian nodded slightly. "I went to enjoy the moon with my friends. You closed the stall so early today. Have you sold all the flowers?"
Speaking of this, Wang Si Niang was happy and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Of course not. Business has been much better lately. Ever since the Right Prime Minister and the Marquis of Wu stopped the thieves outside the city and dealt with them quietly, everyone feels that the capital is safe enough and they're willing to spend their savings.
"Not to mention our flowers, but also Old Li's fruits and vegetables, Old Zhao's snacks...even the street vendor's storybooks are selling more than ever!"
After she explained in detail how many more tourists there were recently, how many times more ordinary people were traveling in the capital, and what everyone loved to spend money on, Wang Si Niang finally stopped talking.
"Look at me, I'm talking non-stop, delaying your moon-viewing trip." She quickly stopped talking and lifted the handlebars. "Enough, enough. I have to get back to make dinner. Be careful on the road. There are a lot of people coming and going lately. Don't get bumped."
These two are as exquisite as fairies in paintings, so you have to keep a close eye on them.
"Be careful in everything—"
Even after walking for a while, Wang Si Niang kept talking.
The other party kept talking and Ye Jindian couldn't get a word in. She could only watch her leave silently.
Zhang Heng also followed and watched Wang Si Niang leave. "Sister-in-law, your neighbor is quite interesting to talk to."
It was just some boring business, but she made it become more vivid.
I'm afraid that even the most senior storyteller in Chunxiao Tower cannot match her natural talent.
"Yes." Ye Jindian couldn't help but smile when she thought about the other party stuffing the picture album into her mouth. "Although the people around here are gossipy and like to ask about everything, they are all lovely people."
They may not be smart or far-sighted enough, but they are enthusiastic, sincere and kind enough.
The journey to Chunxiao Tower was not short, so they did not ride horses. Instead, they took a carriage out of the alley and sat by the window, watching the pedestrians hurrying home and the smoke rising from the chimneys in Shengjing, filled with hot mist.
"By the way, I have something I want to ask you." Ye Jindian didn't beat around the bush and said, "Brother, did you go out of the camp frequently during the second winter before you left the border town?"
Zhang Heng was puzzled: "The second winter?"
When she was in the border town, she did not live with her elder brother.
Her eldest brother mostly lived in the camp, while she stayed in the house in the city to recuperate.
but--
At that time, she had not yet cut off contact with Gongsun Shuo, but she knew that he often went out and said that he wanted to teach a few scoundrels a lesson with his brothers.
Who else could Gongsun Shuo's brothers be? They are just her brother and his men.
"It's true." Zhang Heng's eyes flashed, and he leaned over. "Why is my sister-in-law asking about my brother's affairs?"
Ye Jindian stretched out a finger and gently pushed away the head that was about to touch hers, and remained silent no matter how she pestered him.
She just lowered her eyes and smiled.
That's right.
Those who had troubled Liu Sanniang in the past became intimidated after she kicked the door once and did not continue to cause trouble because they had someone to back them up.
She intimidated people with brute force, and he intimidated people with power.
So, during those years he—
What other unknown things have you done?
The carriage rolled over the large bluestone slabs shining with golden light and arrived at Chunxiao Tower amid the welcome of pomegranate blossoms lining the walls.
Princess Corning leaned against the windowsill, fanning herself at the two of them with a smile.
The lacquer fan inlaid with gold, jade and precious beads shone with an unknown brilliance in the last rays of sunlight in the sky.
Steaming hot food had been laid out in the side room, and maids were serving Princess Kangning on both sides, tearing the meat into small pieces and placing them on a jade plate.
Seeing them coming, Princess Kangning asked the maid to rest.
"Mimi, I'm thirsty."
She dropped her lacquer fan, dragged her long skirt over and sat on the low table, with her elbows right next to Zhang Heng's hand. She could eat the food he fed her just by opening her mouth.
Ye Jindian: “…”
Is this the life of a noble person?
I envy you.
"Tiantian, please sit down. You're welcome." Princess Kangning pointed to the opposite side. "Why don't you sit here? It will make me feel comfortable looking at you and help me eat more."
Afterwards——
Ye Jindian discovered that there were really only two of them.
When she started to eat the third bowl of rice, Princess Kangning opposite her only slowly drank a small bowl of soup, ate two fist-sized mouthfuls of rice, and two pieces of meat and three vegetables fed by Zhang Heng.
There were eighteen dishes on the table, but she only tried five, eating each with just one chopstick.
Ye Jindian couldn't help but look at her plump and graceful body. She didn't understand how she grew all that meat and why she didn't have it.
"Look, even Tiantian would look at me twice when she sees me. If Du Junze is not blind, then it would be impossible." Princess Kangning said in a faint tone.
Ye Jindian almost choked to death on her food.
Zhang Heng reached out to pat her back and handed her some water. He turned his head and said helplessly, "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense. You're scaring my sister-in-law... my sister-in-law."
"Am I wrong?" Princess Kangning stared at Ye Jindian. "Everyone has a love for beauty. Even if they are not moved or emotionally attached, they will always take a second look at beautiful people and things."
But Du Junze always kept his eyes on the hem of her skirt and never looked up at her.
She knew that her reputation was average, but there was no need to avoid her like the plague!
Ye Jindian drank half a bowl of soup and took a deep breath, thinking: "Perhaps the Left Prime Minister is afraid that seeing the princess will make him fall in love, so he dare not look at you?"
Princess Corning was stunned.
This is——
"You're right!" Princess Kangning immediately sat up, holding onto the food tray and leaning forward slightly. "Although Du Junze is a gentleman, he has never been so polite to anyone. When I look at him, it's not that he disdains to look at me, it's that he clearly doesn't dare to look at me!"
Zhang Heng: “…”
One of them dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.
This is as shocking as saying that Gongsun Shuo competed with her in everything, not because he disliked her, but because he liked her.
"Wanwan, why don't you continue to tell me about your new male favorite and what kind of tricks he can perform." Zhang Heng thought that was more normal.
Princess Kangning clapped her hands and said, "No, I won't be happy if I don't put Du Junze to sleep."
She has been thinking about this for more than three years.
Now even Zhang Min is married. If she doesn't make it, she will probably have no chance at all.
Zhang Heng: “…”
Ye Jindian: “…………”
"Wanwan, Wuxia, Kangning, my princess!!" Zhang Heng considered himself tough and playful, but compared to this friend, he was nothing. "What's the difference between what you're doing and a bully trying to steal someone's wife? Be good and stop it."
What's so special about Du Junze?
There are all kinds of male favorites in the princess's mansion.
"No, I want him!" Princess Kangning puffed out her cheeks. "The bully robs the owner, but I rob the ownerless! When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. If you like him, why not rob him? He didn't say he hates me, he just said he doesn't dare. He's timid and doesn't dare, but I'm different."
She is very courageous.
"I don't have to marry Du Junze. I just want to sleep with him. When I wake up, I will go my separate ways. We owe each other nothing and forget each other."
Ye Jindian listened thoughtfully.
If you like someone, do you have to sleep with him directly?
She drank her soup absentmindedly.
Princess Kangning was still speaking angrily: "Besides, if he doesn't like me, even if I take off his pants, he will still be hard... mmm?"
A shadow flashed in the corner of Ye Jindian's eyes, the firelight beside her flickered, and the bead curtain lightly bumped.
Zhang Heng pounced over skillfully and covered Princess Kangning's mouth tightly, preventing her from saying such vicious words.
"Princess, please be careful with your words when you go out!"
At least before you become close friends, please leave a good impression on her sister-in-law.
Don't scare people away!
Ye Jindian held the bowl of soup and sighed: My two new friends are so lively, cheerful and full of energy.
