Eunuch Number One: "Our prince is exceptionally talented, and Miss Yuan is stunningly beautiful; they are the perfect match, but..."
The young eunuch thought of the prince's leg and dared not continue speaking.
Miss Yuan is a noble lady of the An family and is deeply loved by the Second Master An. I'm afraid Master An would be reluctant to marry Miss Yuan off to a prince.
After all, whether he is rich or powerful, the sixth prince must at least be a normal person.
With legs unable to walk, what father would want his daughter to marry into a family where she would have to serve her disabled husband for the rest of her life?
Moreover, Miss Yuan was pampered and spoiled growing up.
The eunuchs became increasingly regretful as they spoke, but Li Gui rebuked them: "You lot have grown quite bold. If the Sixth Prince finds out about what you've been discussing, you'll probably have nine heads and still not be enough to be chopped off."
The young eunuchs knelt on the ground, trembling, pleading, "Your Excellency, please spare us! We know we were wrong. Please don't tell the prince!"
An Yuan'er happened to pass by and thought that the eunuchs had not done their job well.
"Li Gui, don't punish them too severely. Just let them remember their mistakes."
Li Gui glared at the young eunuch and said, "Since Miss Yuan has pleaded for you, you will be punished by cleaning the latrines for a month. If you dare to commit any more offenses in the future, we will not tolerate it."
The eunuchs, their lives saved, kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Yuan; thank you, Eunuch Li. We'll get to work now."
The eunuchs scattered, and An Yuan'er didn't take it too seriously. She took the medicine and went over.
Li Gui frowned slightly upon smelling the pungent odor of the medicine.
The master knew in his heart that his leg was beyond saving. But the master was still willing to let Miss An do it.
This used to be a taboo subject that could not be mentioned.

By the time An Yuan'er approached, Yi Chenli had already averted his gaze.
An Yuan'er walked to the pavilion, put the medicine bowl aside, and quietly sat down opposite Yi Chenli, waiting for him to notice her.
Time ticked by, and An Yuan'er waited patiently for a quarter of an hour, but the person in front of her only looked down at the book and ignored her completely.
Those eunuchs were all staring at her with wide eyes; could it be that her charm only works on eunuchs?
An Yuan'er began to have doubts.
She lost her patience and snatched the book from Yi Chenli's hand: "Yi Chenli, you've read this Tao Te Ching hundreds of times, every day and every day, how come you're still not tired of it?"
An Yuan'er thought to herself: No book is as pretty as a beautiful girl. Yi Chenli is probably the most clueless man in the world when it comes to romance.
An Yuan'er stood up, spun around, and the bells hanging on her clothes made a crisp sound.
"Yi Chenli, this dress is brand new, don't you think it looks good?"
Yi Chenli glanced at her indifferently. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, the low-cut neckline and chest-length design of the dress outlined the girl's graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. Her waist was as slender as a willow, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body.
Yi Chenli said coldly, "It doesn't look good. This dress doesn't suit you."
An Yuan'er was somewhat disappointed when she didn't hear the praise she wanted.
"Yi Chenli, your taste is a bit strange!"
Looking back, An Yuan'er realized that since she lost weight, Yi Chenli seemed to be less close to her than before.
After she lost weight, she was no longer chubby.
Could it be that Yi Chenli prefers chubby, pink-cheeked girls like she was when she was little, and doesn't like her as she is now?
An Yuan'er said, feeling wronged, "Yi Chenli, I really do eat a lot every day. But..."
Yi Chenli couldn't bear to see her wronged.
"I was wrong. The clothes are beautiful, and being round and chubby is also nice."
