Chapter 445: Eating and Taking
"Prince Jun, something has happened at home recently, so he has been speaking more directly. I have no ill intentions, and I really care about you. Speaking of which, if I hadn't asked the princess last night about your face and legs, I would have been very worried too."
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Prince Jun's face.
The bandage was the same cloth from yesterday. It seemed that the bandage was not changed in the palace last night.
"Oh, then I'll tell you here so that everyone won't be curious." Xiao Lanyuan held the snack on his lap. He didn't eat it on the way, but now he was ready to eat it. "My princess said that it's because I've been sick for many years and I've used strong medicine. This is a normal result. But she will go find medicine and slowly treat me. It's very likely that I can be cured."
After these words were spoken, all the officials began to grumble in their hearts.
What I mean is that Prince Jun has always been in poor health.
Now the treatment has such adverse effects, but if it is not treated, the patient will die.
As for Princess Jun saying that maybe it can be cured in the future, I don’t know whether it is true or not, but it at least shows one thing, that it cannot be cured in a short period of time.
And it may be incurable, who knows?
In short, the originally handsome Prince Jun has become like this now, with a disfigured face and legs, he is really so disfigured.
Some officials actually began to sympathize with Prince Jun.
The emperor also sighed, revealing his worry and sadness, and pretended to comfort him, "I and everyone else know that the princess's medical skills are extraordinary, even the imperial doctors and Doctor Li can't compare to her, so you can relax, she will definitely be able to cure you."
"She studies medicine seriously and diligently. Of course, she is indeed smarter than most people, but she can't be too proud," Xiao Lanyuan said.
At this time, he picked up a piece of dessert, leaned back in his chair, and took a bite.
"Your Majesty, everyone, please continue. Don't worry about me. I will eat something first."
After saying this, he slowly ate the plate of snacks.
His guards were quite sensible. They went to the imperial kitchen and fished quickly, even picking out a few different snacks.
I don’t know which palace these were made for, maybe some were made for the queen.
"Prince Jun, we are in court now, why are you eating first?" said the father-in-law.
Xiao Lanyuan took another bite of the dessert gracefully, raised it to look at it, and said, "Because I'm hungry, and my princess has told me that I'm taking medicine, which hurts my stomach, so I can't be too hungry."
He looked at the snack and said with great enjoyment, "This one seems to be golden swallow's wing wrapped in jujube paste. It's sweet and a bit refreshing. I like it."
Officials: "..."
Not only did he sprinkle some dog food on them, but he also showed them some real food? This made them feel jealous and their stomachs started to growl.
They all had to get up before dawn, change clothes and go to the palace, so where would they have time to eat breakfast? Wouldn't they have to go back and eat after the court session?
Sometimes when there are too many things to do and everyone argues too much, it takes some extra time and we become really hungry.
Golden swallow's wings and date paste cake?
That seems to be the Queen's favorite.
The hearts of the emperor and the father-in-law were all pounding. This thing is not easy to make, and it takes a lot of effort to wrap one. The queen eats two every other day without fail.
Now Xiao Lanyuan picked up another piece of the same thing and took another bite.
"Well, this is the same. Although it tastes good, I want to try something else." After saying that, he put the bitten golden swallow's wing and date paste cake back on the plate and took another piece.
The emperor and the father-in-law both looked unhappy.
This means that he took both of the Queen's cakes today, and ate one and threw away the other?
Now seeing the green dessert that Xiao Lanyuan picked up, the emperor's face turned a little dark.
This piece is his!
He was very angry last night and wanted to eat this to calm down, so he asked the imperial chef to cook it.
Now this snack is in Xiao Lanyuan's hands.
"What is this green stuff?" Xiao Lanyuan took a sniff and said, "It smells like tea?"
"Haha," the emperor's expression was almost tense, "Prince Jun, this is a high-quality Longjing tea brewed with flower dew collected in the morning, plus longan and cinnamon flower paste and a little lotus root paste to make the cake. It's called Yuqinglu."
"Your Majesty knows a lot. Let me try it."
Xiao Lanyuan immediately took a bite of the big cake, and sure enough, there was some crystal liquid inside, with a refreshing fragrance.
"It's delicious." He praised immediately, "I like it very much. This cake is quite big. Oh, there are two pieces. I will leave one for the princess to taste later."
Both pieces belong to him! He actually took them all! The emperor's face turned black.
"Your Majesty," Xiao Lanyuan asked him while eating, "I cannot go hungry, so I ordered people to go to the imperial kitchen to take whatever they want. I wonder whose breakfast they took. Will they be scolded? Can you please talk to the owners of these snacks later and ask them not to vent their anger on the people in the imperial kitchen, okay?"
The emperor's voice burst out from between his teeth.
"Okay. Just eat."
When the emperor saw that there were a few small snacks on the plate, he didn't want to know which concubine in the harem wanted to eat them.
"Does Prince Jun have nothing to eat on Youqing Peak? How come he doesn't recognize anything?" The father-in-law couldn't help but mock Xiao Lanyuan again.
Although ordinary people cannot afford these snacks, the powerful people in the capital city must know about them. They cannot be eaten often, but occasionally they will be rewarded by the palace.
Prince Jun looked like he had never eaten anything good.
"Yes, life on Youqing Peak is bitter and cold. I was in poor health before, so I couldn't eat these things. They were not suitable for me to eat, so I didn't have much experience."
Xiao Lanyuan smiled and looked at the emperor. "So, Your Majesty, can you give me some more? Can you ask the imperial chef to make me ten or eight pieces of these snacks? I will take them back and enjoy them with the princess."
He can speak too!
This kind of snack costs a lot of money, okay?
But the emperor couldn't refuse at this time, otherwise it would seem too stingy for him to not even give any snacks.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
"Thank you for your grace." Xiao Lanyuan smiled and said this.
Then he started eating snacks again. I don’t know why he was so hungry. He took two bites of each.
All the officials' stomachs growled as they watched, and they almost forgot what they were talking about before Prince Jun arrived.
It was the father-in-law who came to his senses first.
"Your Majesty, we are all very curious about how Prince Jun went out to receive the gift left by the retired emperor. May I have the courage to ask Prince Jun?" The father-in-law took the responsibility of the matter and pretended that he was the one who wanted to ask.
This made the emperor feel comfortable.
He smiled and looked at Xiao Lanyuan, "Prince Jun, all the ministers are very curious, why don't you tell us?"
"What?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"Tell me what the Emperor left for you."
"Oh, that," Xiao Lanyuan said calmly, "Three tokens, don't you all know about them?"
nonsense!
