Seeing her staring at the headgear in a daze, Yue Tao waited quietly by the side. Feicui carefully counted the things and asked the eunuch to take them to the warehouse. The hall was very quiet for a while.
When Gu Wanying came to her senses and found that everything was almost sorted out, she couldn't help but praise the two maids for their quick hands and feet and being good workers!
Ever since the hotpot last night, Gu Wanying has been in a foodie mood and has been making some sweet snacks such as Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup and Mung Bean Cake.
Yue Tao couldn't convince Gu Wanying no matter what. This was something that should have been done by the palace maids. At worst, the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen could do it.
But Gu Wanying was upset, she refused to do it! She wanted to do it herself.
"This bowl is for the emperor! It's more sincere if you make it yourself!" Gu Wanying had just finished speaking when her hand was burned by the steam.
The snow-white and tender skin suddenly turned red.
"Empress!" Yue Tao screamed in horror, and the young eunuchs and palace maids instantly knelt on the ground.
"Hiss, why are you screaming? I just got burned." Gu Wanying didn't take it seriously and continued with the work in her hands.
She opened the steamer, put the prepared pastries in it, and quickly closed the lid. Then she checked the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the stewing pot. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she hummed a tune and returned to the bedroom.
She had just wanted to take a break, but she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Yue Tao then carefully helped her treat the burned area. With red eyes, she blew gently and applied medicine to Gu Wanying little by little. She did not wake up during the whole process, which showed that she was sleeping soundly.
By the time the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup was ready, Gu Wanying woke up.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan requests an audience." In the imperial study, Eunuch Feng said respectfully.
As the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he has always been loyal to his master. Concubine Wan is the emperor's favorite, so he naturally knows the importance of the matter.
"Please come in." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked towards the door with anticipation.
The door opened and Gu Wanying walked towards him with a smile, holding a food box in one hand and the hem of her skirt in the other.
The light yellow palace dress looked lively in the backlit imperial study, and the emperor felt that he had instantly become a lot younger.
"Your Majesty, please try the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that I cooked myself! I made this soup especially to thank Your Majesty for promoting me!" Gu Wanying ignored the memorials piled on the table and brought the food box to the table.
Eunuch Feng, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that he quickly put the annoying memorials aside, took off the lid of the food box, and then waited respectfully by the side.
Concubine Wan has a childish nature, but the emperor likes her just like this, charming and youthful, and she always has his gradually disappearing youth in her bones.
As soon as the lid was opened, a bowl of crystal clear Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup appeared in front of the emperor, with a few red dates and lotus seeds floating in it, like colorful gems inlaid in white jade.
Gu Wanying took out the bowl and placed it in front of the emperor. Her sleeves slowly dropped, revealing only a piece of white gauze.
"What's going on?" The emperor's attention was immediately attracted by the gauze.
Gu Wanying pretended to be panicked and quickly put her hands behind her back and lowered her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Infinite pity instantly rose in his heart, "Yingying, I wasn't blaming you just now, I was just worried."
He was so worried that he couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and grabbed her injured hand, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
At the emperor's command, Eunuch Feng almost ran his legs off.
If it were anyone else, he would not go to such great lengths to invite the imperial physician in person, but if this person was Concubine Wan, then even if he ran himself to death, he would invite the imperial physician to treat Concubine Gu as soon as possible.
The imperial physician finally arrived. Eunuch Feng was sweating profusely, but he didn't care.
Gu Wanying saw it and secretly took note of this eunuch Feng.
The blood-stained gauze was carefully removed by the imperial physician, revealing a piece of skin that was burned and had many blisters.
When the gauze was torn off, Gu Wanying couldn't help but hiss, and then the imperial physician was kicked to the ground by the emperor.
The old imperial physician couldn't understand why this emperor, who used to have a good temper, liked to kick people so much in his old age.
"Your Majesty!" Gu Wanying was startled and tugged at the emperor's sleeve. "I'm fine. Please don't embarrass Imperial Physician Jiang."
Her face looked pitiful and her eyes were red. She did not plead for herself, but for an unrelated imperial physician.
The emperor could no longer bring his foot down. In fact, he had never thought of kicking the imperial physician over. After all, the physician had been working in the Imperial Medical Bureau for decades. Even if he had no merits, he had worked hard. If he kicked him, he would not break the friendship between the monarch and his subject.
It was impossible for the emperor to help the man up by himself. Eunuch Feng was sharp-eyed and careful, and he saw that the emperor was trying to find a way out, so he quickly pulled the imperial physician Jiang up and made him kneel, and even kindly helped him brush off the dust on his body.
"Come over and treat Concubine Gu." The emperor said with a cold face. He turned to Gu Wanying with a different expression, "Yingying, are you still in pain?"
Gu Wanying looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I'm not hurt. I'm cooking a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup for Your Majesty. Even if I get scalded to death, it's worth it. I just hope Your Majesty can blow on me."
Listen, what a lovely person.
She didn't care whether she was in pain or not, she only cared about whether her lover could eat the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup she made herself.
Eunuch Feng and Imperial Physician Jiang felt that they must be deaf and blind at this moment. What did this have to do with them?
The emperor quickly pursed his lips and blew gently a few times on the scalded skin, coaxing Gu Wanying like a child.
In fact, Gu Wanying was not afraid at all that the burn would leave scars. There were so many items in the system, and there must be one that could remove scars.
Imperial Physician Jiang finally treated Gu Wanying's burns. The burns could not be wrapped with gauze, as this would make it more prone to suppuration.
"You should go to the doctor every day until Concubine Gu recovers from her injuries." The emperor said expressionlessly.
Imperial Physician Jiang nodded in agreement and knelt down to thank the emperor with great gratitude.
As soon as Imperial Physician Jiang left, Yue Tao noticed Gu Wanying's gaze and immediately followed him out.
She called out to Imperial Physician Jiang at the corner.
"What's the matter, young lady?" Imperial Physician Jiang knew that this was Concubine Wan's personal maid, so he asked in a gentle voice.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Imperial Physician Jiang, for what happened just now. Consider this as tea money. Our master will have to rely on you to treat his injuries in the future!" Yue Tao smiled with curved eyes, and stretched out her hand to stuff a dark purse into Imperial Physician Jiang's hand.
Originally, Imperial Physician Jiang had some resentment towards Concubine Wan, thinking that the Imperial Study was not a place for a concubine.
He even got kicked to the ground by the emperor, which made him lose face.
Now holding the heavy silver in his hand, the resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace, and only a smile remained on his face.
He pretended to refuse a few times before finally accepting it.
Yue Tao finished her explanation and breathed a sigh of relief.
