"Shepherd's purse is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It can improve eyesight and stop bleeding. Shepherd's purse dumplings have a fresh and fragrant taste, are delicious, and can soothe the liver and nourish the lungs."
After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Heng and said, “Your Majesty, please try this. This is the shepherd’s purse dumplings I made early in the morning.”
When Zhao Heng listened to her, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, “Miss Shen is really clever and skillful.”
"Don't praise me yet, try it and see how it tastes."
Zhao Heng followed her instructions and picked up a shepherd's purse dumpling and started eating. It had a fresh aroma. She wondered how shepherd's purse had such a delicate taste, with a sweet taste that left a lingering aftertaste.
He finished the whole plate of shepherd's purse dumplings very flatteringly, and gave another compliment when he put down his chopsticks.
When Shen Shuyi saw him smiling, his eyes were clear without a trace of impurities, giving her a sense of familiarity that seemed like a different world.
After eating shepherd's purse dumplings, the two came to the inner room, and Shen Shuyi continued to use acupuncture to remove the poison for him.
After the acupuncture, Zhao Heng saw the girl packing the medicine box with a worried look on her face.
He probed, "But has the king's condition changed?"
"No, it's not. Your condition has stabilized. You just need to continue taking medicine and acupuncture and you will be cured in a while."
Shen Shuyi put away her thoughts and put away the medicine box. When she spoke again, her tone was a little light, “In a few days, I will go to the palace to attend the princes’ concubine selection banquet.”
Zhao Heng heard this and felt a little depressed for some reason.
"Do you have a crush on someone?"
Shen Shuyi held his chin with both hands, his tone a little muffled, “I have to participate, after all, I am still a member of the general’s mansion, and my father will not let me go if I don’t go.”
She looked up at the silent Zhao Heng and said, "My Lord, will you also choose a concubine when the time comes?"
Zhao Heng wanted to say that, in fact, he didn't have to choose. His father had abolished his position as crown prince and he still felt indebted to him. As long as he asked, he would not marry in this life.
Anyway, he is already a useless waste.
But he nodded, "Yeah."
"But I don't want to marry either. Those ladies definitely don't have true love for me. I don't want to be with a resentful partner."
Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up, "Since you and I are both helpless, can you choose me at the palace banquet? In this way, I can also heal you in the mansion, and you can treat me as the royal doctor in the mansion!"
"I promise I won't disturb your peace."
A strange color flashed across Zhao Heng's deep eyes.
He asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"Well, then, Your Majesty, do you agree?"
"Marriage is marriage, there is no such thing as a fake marriage. Although I am now an idle prince, my father's people have been watching me. He wants to see me get married and live a real life."
"A fake marriage is a crime of deceiving the emperor." Zhao Heng looked at her with bright eyes, "Miss Shen, I hope you can think about this carefully before making a decision."
Chen Shuyi's eyes were clear, "I have always admired you. If I could marry such a bright and beautiful Prince Su, it would be a blessing for me in eight lifetimes."
"My Lord, I am willing to be your real wife, sleep on the same bed with you, and treat you with respect."
Zhao Heng was touched. Regardless of whether she had any romantic feelings for him, the fact that she was so sincere made it difficult for him to refuse.
What's more, he already had selfish motives.
But he still told Shen Shuyi about the unspeakable past, "Miss Shen, I lost that feeling after being poisoned."
He is a man, and even if he has never been close to a woman before, that place changes every morning.
But ever since the poisoning, there has been no movement in that place.
"I'm afraid I'm powerless to bear a child with you."
Shen Shuyi only asked, “Have you tried it?”
Even though Zhao Heng was calm and composed, he was still shocked by the bold girl in front of him. "No."
Shen Shuyi approached him, gently placed her hands on his neck, and put her thin lips close to his ear, "Prince... I don't mind. I married you purely to resolve the current predicament, purely because I admire you. It doesn't matter if we don't have an heir." Of course, she was just saying it nicely. Her mission was to continue the heirs for the dear Prince Su...
Zhao Heng smelled the faint fragrance of the little girl, and the warm breath coming from his ears, which made him feel hot all over, especially in his lower abdomen...
That place that had been quiet for a long time actually slowly began to...
Shen Shuyi deliberately moved closer, and Zhao Heng concealed his disgrace and stepped back.
Faced with this "sudden" situation, he had to admit that he had some charming feelings for Miss Shen that he could hardly detect.
Prince Su, who was always calm and rational, was in trouble for the first time. His Adam's apple rolled and he said in a hoarse voice: "Miss Shen, please get up."
If I continue like this, my predicament might scare her.
"Okay." Shen Shuyi sat up straight and loosened his hands.
In a flash, Zhao Heng quickly retreated to the desk to cover up his embarrassment.
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man's forbearing face, sitting upright, she blinked and spoke.
"My Lord, do you hate me?"
Zhao Heng looked into her watery eyes and said, "I don't hate it."
"Then you can try to like me after we get married!"
Zhao Heng had no objection to her proposal and nodded, "Yes."
Shen Shuyi supported her chin with one hand and looked at him with her beautiful eyes, “Then from now on, you can call me something else.”
"Don't call me Miss Shen anymore, Miss Shen."
"You can call me Yiyi or Yier!"
Zhao Heng had never been so close to a woman before, and for a moment he was unable to call out his name.
Faced with the girl's expectation, he picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the word "Yi Yi" on the rice paper on the desk.
