From then on, Yuan Yao kept claiming to be ill.
The imperial physicians, coming and going from Qianhua Palace, were inevitably stopped and questioned by people.
However, the imperial physician stroked his beard, sighed, and dismissed the man...
The next day, Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan made an appointment to come to Qianhua Palace together.
The two did not stay for long.
Lin Xuan said awkwardly, "I heard that you were punished by the Empress Dowager and made to kneel in the rain for three hours, and you almost died?"
My parents want to visit you, but it's not quite proper...
Remember to have the palace servants brew the tonics I brought for you!
Yuan Yao didn't remember a single word Lin Xuan said after that.
Her mind was filled with Lin Xuan's words, "He knelt in the torrential rain for three hours and almost died"...
Why is this story getting more and more exaggerated as it's spread?
She only knelt for two hours at most!
Three hours... that'll be six hours!
It's almost dawn!
He almost died?!
No, no, although she really hates the Empress Dowager for tormenting her.
However, the rumors shouldn't get any more outrageous!
If this gets to the ears of the Ninth Prince, he'll probably go crazy and rush back to send the Empress Dowager to see Buddha!
At this moment, Xie Zhi said, "Xiao Yao'er, you're so weak, don't think too much."
I brought you a piece of warm jade. Place it by your pillow every night before you sleep to ward off the cold.
Warm jade?
Yuan Yao then remembered that Xie Zhi had indeed brought a large piece of warm jade.
That piece of warm jade was bigger than her head, without a single flaw, and felt warm to the touch, making it very comfortable to feel.
Yuan Yao smiled at Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan and said, "I accept your kindness!"
I will definitely take good care of myself and get better soon!
Xie Zhi raised his hand, patted her head, and smiled brightly: "Good girl, rest well, let's go back to practice martial arts first."
After speaking, the two got up to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Yao called out.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhi turned around.
Yuan Yao asked curiously, "Xie Zhi, what kind of flowers did you give me?"
flower?
Xie Zhi searched his memory for a moment before recalling that he had given Yuan Yao a box of seeds when he first returned to the capital.
His expression became somewhat strange.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yao asked.
Xie Zhi asked with a smile, "Is that flower... about to bloom?"
His laughter was a little dry.
“Yes!” Yuan Yao said seriously, completely oblivious to the fact that the flowers were growing stranger and stranger!
It's been raining these past few days, and the flowers are growing wildly, looking more and more like grass!
Moreover, I noticed a few days ago that there seemed to be buds; today, they've probably opened.
"Is that so..." Xie Zhi's smile became even more strange.
Even if Yuan Yao was dull-witted, she could tell that Xie Zhi was not normal!
Xie Zhi's smile is so strange!
An immature idea suddenly popped into my head...
Yuan Yao stared into Xie Zhi's eyes: "You...did you take something else and lie to me that it was flowers?"
Xie Zhi: "..."
He blinked, mimicking Yuan Yao's gesture: "This young master... didn't!"
"Really?" Yuan Yao asked, still somewhat skeptical.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan asked, "What flower?"
Yuan Yao described it as "a flower that looks remarkably like grass."
A flower that looks like grass?
Lin Xuan said, "Let me go and see. My father likes to tend to flowers and plants, so maybe I can figure it out."
"No, let's go back and practice our martial arts," Xie Zhi said.
In Yuan Yao's view, Xie Zhi was just feeling guilty.
She grabbed Lin Xuan's sleeve: "Come on, come on, go and take a look at me!"
After speaking, the two left the main hall.
"Oh? Little Yao'er?" Xie Zhi sat in the chair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It’s over!
He had a premonition that he was going to be thrown out of Qianhua Palace...
Yuan Yao and Lin Xuan walked ahead, while Xie Zhi followed at a distance.
The group of people came together to the place where flowers were planted.
Lin Xuan looked around the overgrown yard and asked, "Where are the flowers? Where are they?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She turned around and glanced at Xie Zhi, who wanted to follow but didn't dare to.
Just then, a young eunuch trotted over, greeted him with a smile, and pointed to the lush green grass in the courtyard, saying, "Young Marquis, these are the princess's flowers."
Lin Xuan's face was full of "Are you kidding me?" expressions.
He turned to look at Xie Zhi, his expression unreadable.
Xie Zhi quickly made a gesture of covering his mouth.
Lin Xuan grinned, his smile laced with malice.
He placed one hand behind his back and slowly said, "Yuan Xiaoyao, your whole yard is full of foxtail grass."
Have you ever heard of foxtail grass? It's a kind of...weed.
Grass!
Yuan Yao glared at him angrily: "Thank you, Master!"
Xie Zhi stood three zhang away and said loudly, "Little Yao'er, this young master has an urgent matter to attend to and must leave now!"
Take good care of yourself and remember to hug Nuanyu often!
Without waiting for Yuan Yao's unpleasant expression, Xie Zhi turned and ran.
In the blink of an eye, the person vanished without a trace.
Yuan Yao was furious.
Despite being mentally prepared, she was still furious when she found out that the flowers she had been carefully tending were actually just a yard full of weeds!
Soon, gossipy palace servants began to talk about it.
Someone happened to be passing by outside Qianhua Palace and overheard the whole thing.
That afternoon, news spread throughout the palace that Princess Yuanyao had been tricked by Xie Zhi, the young heir of the Prince of Pingnan, into planting a whole yard of foxtail grass.
I heard that this anger nearly caused the already seriously ill princess to faint...
When the emperor arrived, he was overjoyed as soon as he stepped into Qianhua Palace: "Yuan Yao, show me your courtyard full of flowers."
Yuan Yao: "..."
If it were anyone else, she would kick them out.
I'm so angry!
The little dumpling is baring its teeth.
Following some videos she had seen in modern times, Yuan Yao had the emperor begin physical training.
The dignified monarch, with a dark expression, took off his shoes and outer robe on the floor of the Moonlit Palace, barefoot, being bossed around by a little maid and even spanked with a ruler...
After half an hour, the emperor was drenched in sweat, his body was weak, and he was lying on the ground unable to get up.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao walked over with a smile.
She beckoned for a hot towel to be brought over so that someone could wipe the sweat from the emperor's face.
After wiping, she beckoned to Li Deshan and said, "Father-in-law, I'll teach you a technique. When you have nothing to do each day, apply some essential oil and massage the Emperor."
After massaging, take some freshly brewed green tea, soak a handkerchief in it, and apply it to the Emperor's face.
Should I apply some tea to my eyes?
Li Deshan was stunned.
The emperor said in a hoarse voice, "Yuan Yao, you're not holding a grudge against me for throwing you earlier, are you? Are you taking revenge?"
revenge?
Yuan Yao blinked and smiled: "Your Majesty, although you dropped Yao'er back then, didn't you later send a lot of money to compensate Yao'er?"
"Why would Yao'er hold a grudge against the Emperor after accepting the money?"
The emperor was skeptical: "Are you sure this will work?"
He is the emperor of a country. If he were really tricked by that scoundrel Yuan Yao, what would become of his reputation if word got out?
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will do as you say."
"If you dare to mock me, I will kill you, you audacious little girl!"
"Your Majesty, are you sure?" Yuan Yao blinked.
