Ying Xixi went to give instructions to the kitchen and waited until the other maids brought the food into the house before she followed them in.
She is now responsible for taking care of Zhao Yuxiao, so naturally she has to serve him meals.
Zhao Yuxiao couldn't get out of bed yet, so Ying Xixi asked the maids to put the dishes on a small table next to the table.
"General, shall I serve you some food?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Zhao Yuxiao was eating by himself while Ying Xixi was standing by waiting.
Maybe it was the aroma of the food, or maybe it was because the house was quite warm.
Ying Xixi stood there and felt hungry, sleepy and tired.
Although Zhao Yuxiao is a rough general who has lived on the border for many years, he eats slowly and without making any noise.
So in the quiet room, the rumbling sound of Ying Xixi's stomach was particularly obvious.
Ying Xixi: “….”
He covered his stomach in embarrassment.
Zhao Yuxiao turned his head and looked at her, a smile in his eyes.
"Hungry? Grab a set of bowls and chopsticks and eat with me."
Ying Xixi didn't expect Zhao Yuxiao to say that. "General, this is against the rules. How can a servant eat at the same table with his master?"
"Since you said I'm the master, you should listen to what the master says. Go get the dishes and chopsticks.
I don't have a good appetite, and I can't finish all the food by myself. You're here to help me share some of the food, so it won't be wasted."
Zhao Yuxiao's words made Ying Xixi unable to refuse.
"yes."
After a while, Ying Xixi pulled a stool over and sat down, eating with Zhao Yuxiao.
Ying Xixi prefers spicy food, but she was really hungry tonight, so she didn't care about the taste and ate with relish.
Ying Xixi: Even though she was hungry, she still had good manners when eating.
She and Zhao Yuxiao ate quietly together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After dinner, Ying Xixi changed the medicine on Zhao Yuxiao's abdominal wound.
As for whether or not to change the dressing on the other wound, Ying Xixi kept silent about it.
The main reason was that I was afraid of arousing Zhao Yuxiao's sadness and anger.
But this time Ying Xixi didn't mention it, Zhao Yuxiao brought it up himself.
"There's still a wound that hasn't been dressed yet."
Zhao Yuxiao lifted the quilt.
Ying Xixi: “???”
“!!!”
"General, I'm a woman, so it would be better for a servant to apply the medicine.
I will call the servant to come in and change the medicine for you."
Ying Xixi was about to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Zhao Yuxiao.
"Stop, I didn't ask you to help me change the medicine. I asked you to give me the medicine so I can change it myself."
Zhao Yuxiao looked at Ying Xixi with a half-smile.
"Chunhua, you think too much."
Ying Xixi, “.......”
"General, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your actions will indeed cause me to misunderstand you. The medicine is here. I will take my leave now."
Ying Xixi said as she placed the medicine on the bedside table and left.
Zhao Yuxiao laughed, "Chunhua, this maid still has a bit of a temper."
For the next period of time, Ying Xixi took care of Zhao Yuxiao.
Ying Xixi heard that because Zhao Yuxiao was injured on the battlefield, the emperor allowed Zhao Yuxiao to stay in the capital until he recovered.
From time to time, the emperor would send imperial physicians to see Zhao Yuxiao.
I just don't know if the consultation was a real consultation or just to see if Zhao Yuxiao's injury has fully recovered.
As for the fact that Zhao Yuxiao had damaged his offspring's roots and would have difficulty having children in the future, this had not been spread.
Perhaps because this matter did not spread widely, Zhao Yuxiao could still deceive himself into thinking that there was nothing wrong with him and his temper was not too bad.
However, every time the imperial physician came to see him and mentioned sad things that he didn't want to face, he would still lose his temper.
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Zhao Yuxiao returned to Beijing.
His injury is almost healed.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th approaches, Zhao Yuxiao, as the great general guarding the country, has to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Zhao Yuxiao has never liked such occasions, but he has to go.
Especially since Zhao Yuxiao returned victorious this time, the emperor might reward him for his trip to the palace.
It didn't matter to him whether he received the reward or not; what mattered was that he wanted to receive the reward on behalf of his brothers in the barracks.
They were going to attend the banquet in the evening. In the evening, Zhao Yuxiao called Ying Xixi into the house.
"Chunhua, the general is going to the palace for a banquet tonight. Please come and help him clean up."
Zhao Yuxiao was sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a white inner garment, his black hair tied up high, and the thriving and explosive muscle lines on his arms were clearly visible even through the layer of clothes.
"Yes, General, how about you wear this black robe? The black color is low-key.
Paired with this white jade belt, it's the finishing touch."
Ying Xixi took out the robe from the closet, which was much longer than her.
"Okay, that's it."
Zhao Yuxiao stood up and spread his arms to signal Ying Xixi to come and change his clothes.
Zhao Yuxiao was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. When Ying Xixi stood in front of him, her height only reached his chest.
The obvious height and body shape difference made Ying Xixi not want to look up at Zhao Yuxiao at all.
This made her neck very tired.
She was busy helping Zhao Yuxiao put on his clothes and tie his belt without even looking at him.
Zhao Yuxiao lowered his eyes and looked at the little maid who was busy for him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Ying Xixi turned her head, the fair skin behind her ear flashed in Zhao Yuxiao's eyes.
Zhao Yuxiao didn't think much about it.
"Chunhua, this general doesn't have a servant by his side. Why don't you dress up as a servant and accompany this general into the palace for the banquet?"
Zhao Yuxiao looked at Ying Xixi's hair whorls and somehow said this.
Ying Xixi, who was tying Zhao Yuxiao's belt, paused and said, "General, we have servants in the mansion. If you want a servant, you can choose any one from the mansion."
I am a woman, I am afraid it is not suitable for me to dress up as a servant."
Ying Xixi now speaks much more casually to Zhao Yuxiao, and refuses directly.
Zhao Yuxiao clicked his tongue and raised his hand to tap Ying Xixi on the forehead.
Ying Xixi: “???”
"But this general has become accustomed to your service. If someone else were to serve me, I would not be comfortable.
Now you can just go and pack up and pretend to be a servant."
This time, Zhao Yuxiao disagreed with Ying Xixi's rejection.
Ying Xixi rubbed her forehead and said reluctantly, "Okay."
Ying Xixi changed into the servant's clothes and hairstyle, and that was about it.
The skin on her face was yellowish, and at first glance she looked like a servant.
Ying Xixi followed Zhao Yuxiao into the palace in a carriage.
Ying Xixi recalled the original plot, and it didn't seem to mention whether something would happen to Zhao Yuxiao in the palace tonight.
But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, in the original plot, the original owner did not follow Zhao Yuxiao to the palace for the banquet.
The original owner didn't know what happened in the palace.
According to her experience, something is bound to happen when Zhao Yuxiao goes to the palace tonight.
And nine times out of ten it's not a good thing.
