Yun Zhizhi thoughtfully reminded him, "Dr. Zhou, be careful not to burn your mouth!"
However, Doctor Zhou had long forgotten Yun Zhizhi's words and didn't even bother to pick up his chopsticks.
He impatiently reached out and grabbed the steaming, fragrant fried pork chop.
Then, with lightning speed, he took a big bite: "It's so hot!"
In an instant, an extremely rich, crispy, and caramelized aroma spread rapidly through his mouth like a surging torrent, filling his entire oral cavity in a flash.
Just as Zhizhi said, this fried pork chop not only has an enticing golden-yellow color on the outside, but the skin is also fried until crispy and fragrant, while the inside remains extremely tender and juicy.
This unique texture creates a striking contrast, with the crispy exterior and tender interior blending together to bring an unprecedented taste experience.
Moreover, the fried pork cutlet was quite flavorful and didn't have that greasy or uncomfortable feeling at all.
With every bite, you can feel the deliciousness of the meat and the perfect blend of seasonings, making it irresistible.
The sheer pleasure of eating meat in large chunks is simply too exhilarating!
Doctor Zhou devoured the entire fried pork chop in a flash. Only then did Yun Zhizhi, who had been waiting quietly, ask, "Doctor Zhou, how is the Crown Princess's health these days?"
After all, the Crown Princess is about to become her close sister-in-law, so she should show concern for her out of both affection and reason.
Doctor Zhou wiped the remaining oil from the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, then confidently replied, "Don't worry, the Crown Princess is fine."
Immediately afterwards, he began to boast without any modesty: "Hehe, my medical skills are truly superb. Look, the Crown Princess is pregnant so quickly."
The Crown Princess is pregnant?
Upon hearing this good news, Yun Zhizhi, her face beaming with joy, gave Doctor Zhou a thumbs-up and said sweetly:
"You're amazing! Your medical skills are so superb, you've brought the dead back to life. I've decided to reward you with another fragrant, golden-brown fried pork chop."
As she spoke, Yun Zhizhi placed a tempting-looking fried pork chop in front of Doctor Zhou.
Seeing this, Doctor Zhou happily reached out and took the delicious fried pork chop, muttering to himself, "Zhizhi is so wonderful! Not only is she as beautiful as an angel and kind-hearted, but her cooking skills are also superb."
After saying that, he took a big bite of the fried pork chop, his mouth full of oil, and a satisfied smile on his face.
Just then, He Yang, who was not far away, heard their conversation and without hesitation put down his work and ran over as fast as the wind.
He ran while shouting, "Everyone who hears this gets a share!"
He only tasted a small piece; it wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Master Xuanzhen, who was squatting to the side intently peeling potatoes, slightly raised his head, glanced sideways at Doctor Zhou, and slowly said:
"Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, shouldn't you, the divine physician, retire after accomplishing your mission? I remember you told me last time that once you had properly treated the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, you would leave the capital and travel the world."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou was taken aback at first, then pretended to be innocent and shook his head repeatedly in denial, saying, "Old man Xuanzhen, you must have misheard! I have never said such a thing."
"Besides, the capital is so prosperous and bustling, I, an old man, am reluctant to leave!"
After a brief pause, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, he added decisively, "Moreover, I have already decided that from now on I will settle down in the capital for good!"
After speaking, Doctor Zhou secretly glanced at Yun Zhizhi.
He followed Yun Zhizhi wherever she went.
He also wanted to learn from that old fellow Xuanzhen and become a loyal follower!
That's good now.
Unbeknownst to Yun Zhizhi, she had unintentionally gained another persistent follower that she couldn't shake off.
However, if he wants to stay by Yun Zhizhi's side and enjoy a life of luxury for a long time, he really needs to come up with a legitimate reason.
After all, the Sixth Prince was no ordinary person and could not be easily fooled.
Yes.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Doctor Zhou's mind, and a plan came to him.
He looked at Yun Zhizhi with a big smile and said, "Zhizhi, how about I take you as my disciple?"
Before this, he had never taken on any apprentices.
Countless people came seeking his guidance, bringing piles of gold and silver treasures, but he refused them all without hesitation.
"ah?"
Yun Zhizhi looked completely bewildered.
After regaining her senses, she quickly waved her hand and shook her head in refusal: "I know nothing about medicine, and I'm not really interested in it. Besides, I'm busy running my stall and doing business on weekdays, so I don't have any spare time to learn medicine."
"Besides, I'm not young anymore. If I start learning from scratch now, it will definitely be very difficult and strenuous. I'm worried that I'm too stupid and will make you angry."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou did not immediately refute it, but instead frowned slightly and pondered.
After a moment, he slowly nodded and replied, "Well, what you said makes some sense."
Seeing that Doctor Zhou seemed to agree with her explanation, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
But just as she relaxed, she was suddenly interrupted by Doctor Zhou's words:
"In that case, I'll take them as my disciples after you give birth to a young prince or a young princess."
"Haha, it's decided then!"
Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzhen's face darkened immediately, and he said with great displeasure, "I refuse! Old Zhou, how can my future grand-disciple become your so-called future disciple for no reason?"
He stared wide-eyed at Doctor Zhou, his beard bristling with rage.
However, facing Master Xuanzhen's anger, Doctor Zhou was completely unconcerned. A sly smile appeared on his lips: "Hehe, it's no use refusing. This matter is settled!"
Before he finished speaking, he vanished without a trace in a flash, as if his feet were greased.
Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi smiled helplessly, then turned to Xiao Tao, who was helping out, and softly instructed her:
"Xiao Tao, remember to pack some light and delicious dishes in a food box and send them to the Crown Prince's residence for the Crown Princess to try."
Whether the Crown Princess likes these dishes or not, her intentions are clear.
Xiao Tao nodded obediently, "Understood, Miss." Then she turned around and went to get busy.
