In the 21st century where Yu Tanqi lives, celebrities have great influence and high social status, but in ancient times, celebrities were actually equivalent to actors and actresses. She is very curious about what the lives of these actors and actresses were like.
She then asked, "Are you all married?"
Luo Hua smiled and said, "Lingren are different from ordinary girls. They rely on their youth to make a living. If we want to get married, we have to wait until we are 25 or older."
"So, are the men you married also actors?"
Jiang Shi came to find Yu Tanqi, and just as he reached the door, he heard these words.
His forehead twitched.
The people inside didn't notice anyone coming outside.
Luo Hua said, "Generally speaking, marriages are based on equal status, so actors naturally marry actors. However, some actors marry ordinary men, or are taken as concubines by high-ranking officials. In this way, their children won't have to be actors anymore."
When she said the last sentence, her expression and tone were a little subtle.
Tingyu glanced at her, pursed her lips and said nothing.
At this time, Jiang Shi raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Tan Qi."
Yu Tanqi's heart skipped a beat, and he spoke with an inexplicable guilty tone: "The prince is here, please come in."
Jiang Shi walked in and glanced at the two actors who quickly bowed their heads and said, "You all should go out."
"Yes." The two men didn't dare to look up, but walked out with their heads down obediently.
When she walked to the door and was about to close it, Luohua looked up at the two people in the room.
The young man in white is as tall as jade. Even if it is just his back, he still looks dignified and calm, which makes people fascinated.
She actually met this person who could only appear in a storybook.
Luohua lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and gently closed the door.
Yu Tanqi blinked and smiled sweetly, "Zi'an, are you here to tell me a story?"
Jiang Shi stretched out his hand, and in his broad, white palm was a small, exquisite bottle of medicine. "I'll apply the medicine to you."
Yu Tanqi opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Since she woke up, two personal maids changed the bandage on her shoulder every day.
She stammered, "Ah? How, how could I trouble you... I'd better leave applying the medicine to Linlang and the others..."
Jiang Shi smiled slightly and said, "One of them is busy in the kitchen, watching over the medicine, and the other one is running out all day to buy something. Now she is nowhere to be seen. You and I are engaged and will get married sooner or later. Tan Qi, there is no need to be shy."
Yu Tanqi inexplicably felt that he seemed a little angry.
Was it because she couldn't help asking about the gossip about those two actors?
Or was it that Taohua was discovered to have secretly bought snacks for her?
She whispered, "Don't we still have Grandma Gao? I'm embarrassed to ask Zi'an to help me apply the medicine, so I'd better let Grandma Gao do it for me."
Jiang Shi lowered his eyes slightly, his crow-feather eyelashes trembling slightly, and his expression was a little lost, "Is Tan Qi resisting me?"
She had never seen the boy look so lonely. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously shook her head, saying, "No, I just..." She was really embarrassed.
He whispered, "You and I are engaged, and you were seriously injured because of me, but I can't see your wound and apply medicine to you with my own hands. This makes me very worried and uneasy. I'm afraid you are comforting me that your injury has healed a lot, I just want to see it with my own eyes."
She couldn't bear it, and the ghost almost nodded and said, "Okay then."
As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
However, when she saw his eyes light up again, she pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and let him go with a nervous and shy look on her face - to remove the white cloth strips on her shoulders.
It was obviously a very serious matter, but because the injured part was close to his private part, Yu Tanqi's heart beat faster and he felt hot all over.
His slender, warm fingertips gently brushed her shoulders, causing her to shiver.
Yu Tanqi bit her lips slightly.
Jiang Shi's gaze fell restrainedly on her shoulder where the cloth had been removed. The wound had begun to scab over, with no sign of fresh blood flowing out.
He picked up the milky white ointment and gently applied it to her scar.
The cool and smooth touch made her shoulders tremble subconsciously.
He asked gently, "Does it hurt?"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "It doesn't hurt."
Even a little itchy.
A gorgeous blush crept up on the girl's pale cheeks.
His movements in applying the medicine were gentle and slow, but she couldn't help but wonder, was he always so calm and composed in everything he did...
Jiang Shi lowered his eyes and his gaze slowly fell on her face.
She closed her eyes, so she couldn't see his expression at the moment, which was gentle but with a hint of restraint.
The girl's eyelashes, as long as butterfly wings, trembled slightly, her lips were tightly pursed, and she looked shy and uneasy.
He stared at her without blinking, his pupils as dark as an inky pool.
The wound had been treated with medicine, but he did not wrap the bandage around her again. Instead, he let her thin, snow-white shoulders tremble slightly.
The white and rugged collarbone is like a finely carved jade.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips tightly and his Adam's apple rolled.
Just one shoulder made his breathing unstable.
He closed his eyes with restraint.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what "beauty is a feast for the eyes" meant.
The skin is so smooth and fresh, and the beauty is so delicious.
He laughed at himself in his heart, it turned out that he was also a vulgar man who was greedy for beauty.
Yu Tanqi felt a little strange. Without the bandage wrapped around her shoulders, she felt like something was missing. She tensed up and asked quietly, "Is the medicine done?"
She heard him say slowly, "It's done, but don't wrap it with the bandage too quickly. Wait for the medicine to take effect for a while before wrapping it again."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Um."
She didn't suspect anything, even though Linlang and the others usually wouldn't let her wait so long when applying medicine.
Of course, it is also possible that she would not usually be so nervous as today and close her eyes and dare not look at him, feeling that time was passing very slowly.
After Jiang Shi finally wrapped her with cloth, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes again, feeling as if she were in another world.
Jiang Shi looked at her gently, his eyes distressed, "You have lost a lot of weight recently."
Yu Tanqi said, "It's the same meal every day. I don't have much of an appetite."
Jiang Shi said gently, "Your injuries are very serious and you have to avoid many foods. The kitchen can only make a few dishes. If you don't like them, I will try my best to make meals that you can eat and that you like."
Yu Tanqi looked at him in surprise: "You mean, are you going to cook for me?"
Jiang Shi smiled slightly and nodded gently: "When I was young, I learned medicinal cuisine from Doctor Xu, and also learned cooking from a cook who has returned to her hometown to retire. The taste should be good. When my grandmother was alive, she often ate the dishes I cooked."
The male protagonist can cook, but this is not written in the original novel.
Is this his hidden skill?
Yu Tanqi said excitedly, "Okay, then let me try Zi'an's cooking."
"If Tan Qi likes the food I cook, can you promise me one thing?"
"What is it?"
"During your recovery period, do not let your maid Taohua go out to buy snacks. You should not eat too much sweets now, as it will affect the healing of your wounds."
Yu Tanqi blushed instantly.
How did he know this again?
