Wan'er walked over and said, "My lord, I... I didn't know you were seriously injured. From now on, I will take your pulse every day, and if anything is wrong, I will treat you."
Xie Yuancheng squeezed my hand, still as childlike as before: "Okay, you can go out first. I'll take my medicine and go to sleep. I'm a light sleeper, I'll come back to collect the dishes tomorrow morning."
"Then I'll go get you some food; you haven't had dinner yet."
"Let's have breakfast together tomorrow. My stomach is still upset and I can't eat anything." It's true, I feel nauseous just thinking about food.
After Wan'er left, Xie Yuancheng directly lifted the quilt and pressed me down on the bed: "Ying'er, you seem to be quite familiar with these palace maids. They even want to take care of you personally."
"I treat them all like my own sisters, don't overthink it."
"The people in the palace are complicated. I'm really worried that you might be sold off one day and still be happy about it."
"I would never do that."
"I'll go back and adjust your medication. Take good care of yourself and don't overexert yourself."
I looked at the medicine by the bedside and said, "Why don't you drink your medicine before you leave?"
"This medicine won't cure it, don't worry."
"How do you know how to take a pulse?"
"These are all basics. I need to take care of myself regularly, so it's good to know some medical knowledge."
Wow, so young and already so accomplished. I can only lament how weak I am.
He got up to leave, but I stopped him: "My lord, please stay and leave tomorrow morning. Someone has slept in this bed."
"Who is it?" I knew that was what he cared about most.
"If you stay, it means you've been lying down."
"You."
The imperial physicians were so considerate; Wan'er and Xiren brought medicinal soup every day, and even Granny Zhang came to join in the fun.
I was truly miserable. I pretended to drink a sip of the medicine, found it too bitter, and set it aside. After sending them away, I quickly poured it into a vase I had prepared. When it was late at night and everyone was quiet, I poured it into the yard.
Life went on at a leisurely pace, and then the princess of Chequ Kingdom came to Dazhao to choose a consort. When I heard the news at the Hanlin Academy, I instinctively looked at Xie Yuancheng.
"Your Highness, I am already married. This marriage was arranged by the Emperor, so it's impossible for me. Perhaps Brother Lu has a chance." This person actually made Lu Fengjun take the blame.
"My lord, I am not suitable." Lu Fengjun looked at me with an ambiguous expression. Could this brother still be thinking about the past?
I quickly moved closer to Xie Yuancheng: "Perhaps neither of you were chosen. After all, there are still three princes who haven't been betrothed yet." I've always been puzzled as to how Xie Yuancheng obtained the imperial decree for betrothal. When I was in Linyang, I was always with him, and I never saw him go off to other places for many days, let alone bring his mother over.
"What the Prince Consort says is true." Lu Fengjun breathed a sigh of relief, his face suddenly turning red. He was the same age as Ji Ying, and Ji Ying had already become a Prince Consort, so he would be soon.
I just received the news; I didn't expect the people from Chequ Kingdom to arrive in just three days.
"My lord, what does the princess of Chequ Kingdom look like? This is the first time I've ever seen a foreign country come here to choose a husband." Wan'er tied my belt and helped me take off my clothes. I usually do everything myself, but sometimes I have to ask the palace maids to help me tie them, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"I haven't seen them either. They arrived this morning, and I only caught a glimpse of them from afar. Besides, my official rank isn't high. However, I will be able to see them at the banquet tonight."
"Wow, that's great!" Wan'er exclaimed with anticipation.
