Chapter 111 What's Wrong with Sticking to Your Fiancé
Shi Jianli looked up at him and put down the certificate, "Hmm?"
Mingzhao still leaned over in front of her, tapping her cheek with his fingertips, "How do you feel?"
Shi Jianli tilted her head slightly, and seemed to see a flash of panic in his gentle eyes. Her eyes moved, "It hurts."
He moved his palm upwards and stroked the top of her hair tenderly, "Yaoyao, you've suffered. I'm sorry."
"Don't feel sorry. You arrived at the critical moment." Shi Jianli looked into his eyes. "Cousin Jingyao, I feel a little cold."
Mingzhao also pulled the quilt over and wrapped her carefully.
But she struggled out of the quilt and said, "I don't want to cover myself with the quilt."
Mingzhao tilted his head to look at her, and used his fingers to push the hair on her temples behind her ears. "Then Yaoyao, do you want to put on some clothes?"
Shi Jianli glanced at him, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully put his arm around her shoulders, and held her in his arms, "So, Yaoyao, do you want me to hug you?"
She particularly liked playing this game of making him guess what she meant, and pretending to be unhappy if he failed to guess correctly.
So cute.
"Yeah." Shi Jianli leaned her head against his neck, hesitated for a moment, then put her arms around his waist, looking dependent.
The warmth of his neck against her cheek was a bit cold. Mingzhao was still slightly stiff. He put his hands on the back of her head and rubbed her head. "What were you thinking about just now?"
Why does it seem like I want to do something to let him down, but I'm afraid he'll find out, so I'm acting like a spoiled child towards him?
"Nothing, it's the first time I've seen a gold certificate, so I studied it for a while. The emperor just named me Princess Wu Zhao."
"I know." Mingzhao lowered his eyes to search her eyebrows and held her cold fingers around his waist. "Why are your hands so cold?"
He seemed unable to express his congratulations, as this was something she had earned with her life.
"I don't know, just warm me up." Shi Jianli scratched the palm of his hand with her fingertips.
I have the impression that his hands are always warm.
Mingzhao also brought her hands together, rubbed them gently, and then covered them. "Are you hungry?"
"Um."
"I asked Xianyue to go to the imperial kitchen camp and order some light and nourishing food. I brought it back when I came back. Try it." Mingzhao still held her shoulders and gently pushed her away, waving to her two maids.
The two of them put the table in front of the bed, opened the food box, and put the dishes out.
On the top of the food box were two small porcelain bottles. Lanxing was not sure what they were, so he put them aside.
Shi Jianli saw it and asked, "What's in the bottle?"
"I asked the Crown Prince for this scar cream." Mingzhao even pinched her face. "I think Yaoyao also loves beauty. This scar cream is very effective. I heard it won't leave scars. After the wound scabs over, ask Lanxing and Xianyue to apply it to you several times a day."
The last few bottles of the most effective scar cream are in the prince's hands.
"Well, aren't you going to the bonfire party tonight?"
"No, I've asked the emperor for leave."
"Who is the leader of the Autumn Hunt?"
"Didn't my third brother tell you when he came to see you?"
"Is it my cousin?"
"Um."
"I haven't seen my cousin yet. I guess I was still asleep when he came."
Mingzhao also picked up a bowl of soup, stirred it gently with a spoon, scooped a spoonful and handed it to her lips, "Try if it's hot."
"I can do it myself." Shi Jianli blinked slightly.
"Your wound is close to the back of your shoulder. Using your hands too much will pull on the wound, which is not conducive to recovery. Besides, didn't Yaoyao just say it hurt? Doesn't it hurt now?"
Shi Jianli opened her mouth and drank the soup he fed her, and her pale cheeks seemed to suddenly become more vibrant.
The soup temperature is just right.
There wasn't much soup, so she finished it quickly. Mingzhao even used a handkerchief to press the corners of her lips.
Shi Jianli stared at him, and when he smiled and looked up at her, she blinked, looked away, and picked up the chopsticks, "I'll eat it myself."
Mingzhao still listened to her resolute tone and could only suppress the urge to continue feeding her, "I'll accompany you."
After eating half a bowl, Shi Jianli put down her chopsticks, looked at him with a frown, and then her brows relaxed a little.
"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" Mingzhao asked when he saw this.
Shi Jianli's eyebrows drooped slightly, "Yeah."
It comes in waves. It's okay when it doesn't hurt, but when it hurts, I can't tell whether it's a dull pain or a stabbing pain. I feel like my whole mind is a little unclear.
Mingzhao put down his chopsticks and said distressedly, "Ask the imperial physician for a prescription for a tranquilizer. It won't conflict with the medicine you're taking. If the pain is unbearable, try getting more sleep. It won't hurt as much when you're asleep."
She nodded weakly.
"Are you full?"
"Hmm, no appetite."
Mingzhao stood up, leaned over, picked her up, and put her on the bed. "How will you feel better? Sleep on your stomach or on your side?"
"I don't know." Shi Jianli didn't want to think about anything now. She sat cross-legged with an unhappy look on her face. "I haven't washed up yet, so I can't sleep."
Lanxing and Xianyue glanced at the two of them, then went to fetch water.
Mingzhao even touched her eyebrows with his fingertips, "Hug her again?"
Shi Jianli looked at him.
Mingzhao put his arm around her waist, brought her into his arms, and gently pressed her head against his neck.
She leaned against his arms unwillingly, her hand held by him.
Lanxing and Xianyue came in with water, and Mingzhao let her go, took the food on the table out, and quickly took a few bites.
Lan Xing took a handkerchief to wipe Shi Jianli's hands and whispered, "Miss, you are so clingy today."
When the Second Lady was around, she wanted to lean into the Second Lady's arms; when the Crown Prince was around, she wanted to be held by the Crown Prince.
Perhaps when people are weak, they want to rely on someone temporarily.
"It feels uncomfortable." Shi Jianli's lips drooped.
He was already her fiancé, so what if she was a little clingy? No one else would know.
Seeing Lanxing and Xianyue coming out with water, Mingzhao went in and took her into his arms again, "I'll stay with you until the sun sets completely, then I'll leave."
"Yeah." Shi Jianli closed her eyes in his arms.
Mingzhao gently stroked her hair, and his other hand patted her shoulder from time to time.
When it was dark, Mingzhao pulled the quilt over and let her half lie on it, then pulled another quilt to cover her.
Shi Jianli opened her eyes and looked at him.
He rubbed her cheek lightly with the back of his finger and said, "I'll come over to accompany you tomorrow."
She closed her eyes again and heard Mingzhao's footsteps returning and his voice instructing Lanxing and Xianyue.
The next day, after breakfast, Shi Jianli was lying on the table, counting the pearls on her bracelet boredly, when she heard the sounds of Qiao Ruoying and Ming Zhouhe coming in.
"Aunt, cousin."
"How do you feel today?" Qiao Ruoying touched her head.
"Better than yesterday." Shi Jianli looked at Ming Zhouhe again, "Cousin, I heard that you are the champion of the men's autumn hunting."
Seeing her lifeless face, Ming Zhou and Xin sighed. She had already lost weight since returning from Chaozhou, and now she had lost her vitality and needed to recuperate again.
"Lucky, big brother is just slacking off, so the title will fall to me, right?"
"My cousin is already very capable." Shi Jianli raised her chin. "When are we going back?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"oh."
Lan Xing came in and said, "Miss, Miss Zheng, Miss Yu, and Miss Lin are here."
