good luck
Zhao Fanghua felt relieved instantly. Without waiting for Shuyu to ask again, he quickly said, "I'm feeling much better now. I'll get up now."
When the girl in green heard this, she immediately squatted down and carefully put the embroidered shoes on Zhao Fanghua's feet.
It was the first time that Zhao Fanghua was helped to put on shoes, and she felt a little uncomfortable all over.
After putting on shoes, Shuyu helped Zhao Fanghua get out of bed and sit down at the dressing table.
"Um..." Zhao Fanghua opened her mouth tentatively, but was interrupted by the sound of the bead curtain being lifted.
Zhao Fanghua looked over in the direction of the voice and saw two girls in green standing on either side of the flower cover lifting up the bead curtain and hanging it up. Then, a group of girls in green holding various objects came in one after another.
They took small steps and stopped in front of Zhao Fanghua, all with lowered eyebrows and respectful eyes, holding the trays high in their hands. Looking around, there were copper basins filled with clear water and floating flower petals, tea sets, mouthwash bowls, and so on.
Another girl in blue had already started combing Zhao Fanghua's hair. Zhao Fanghua had never seen such a scene before, so she just stared blankly at Shuyu's instructions, washing her hands, face, and rinsing her mouth.
After the girl in green combed her hair, Shuyu clapped her hands gently, and three girls in green holding dresses of various colors immediately stepped forward.
"Your Highness, which one do you want to wear today?" Shuyu asked with a smile.
Zhao Fanghua looked over and saw one set was pink and yellow embroidered with unfamiliar flowers, one set was purple embroidered with wisteria flowers, and another set was sky blue.
"Uh..." Zhao Fanghua stretched out his fingers and hesitated between the three sets, and finally chose the purple one.
The two girls in blue who were not selected immediately retreated with their dresses in their hands. The girl in blue who had just helped Zhao Fanghua put on her shoes and another girl in blue helped Zhao Fanghua change her clothes.
When I put it on, I found that it was a stand-up collar long gown with a embroidered horse-face skirt, both of which looked heavily embroidered.
Zhao Fanghua thought to himself that with this kind of workmanship and embroidery, if it were put in a Hanfu makeup store, it would be priced at at least 288 yuan.
After changing her clothes, Zhao Fanghua sat back at the dressing table, just as she saw the figure reflected in the bronze mirror.
Zhao Fanghua was stunned for a moment.
In the mirror was a very classical face of a beauty, with eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, a straight and delicate nose, a cherry-like mouth that was naturally red, and skin as smooth and translucent as mutton-fat jade.
Zhao Fanghua looked at herself in the mirror again and again in disbelief. When she smiled, the beauty in the mirror also smiled. When she frowned, the beauty in the mirror also frowned.
Just as Zhao Fanghua was admiring her beauty in the mirror, the girl in green who was combing her hair had already skillfully tied her hair into a bun and matched it with jewelry.
After everything was ready, two other girls in green brought in a full-length bronze mirror. Zhao Fanghua stood up with the help of Shuyu and admired her clothes in the mirror.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied with your outfit today?" Shuyu asked respectfully.
Zhao Fanghua nodded and gently swayed her skirt in front of the mirror. The woman in the mirror had her hair full of pearls and jade, and even without the light, she exuded a dazzling brilliance. She was truly rich and charming. The ancient noble women in novels were probably no more than this.
No, isn’t she now the noblewoman in the novel?
Zhao Fanghua covered her mouth and chuckled, very satisfied with herself in the mirror.
"There is a reward." The pink-dressed woman said loudly.
The woman in green who had just presented her clothes immediately bowed and said joyfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."
"Will the meal be served now?" Shuyu asked again.
Zhao Fanghua answered without hesitation: "Send it!"
Shuyu waved towards the main hall, and soon, another group of girls in green clothes came in one after another, holding various food boxes.
The girls placed the exquisitely presented food in the lunch boxes in an orderly manner on the round table in the middle of the main hall. Only two girls were left to serve, and the rest left in an orderly manner.
"Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness. The imperial physician told you to avoid meat and fish. I'm afraid breakfast will not suit your appetite, but you should still eat a little." Shuyu advised gently and carefully as she supported Zhao Fanghua as they walked towards the Eight Immortals Table.
Zhao Fanghua and Shuyu came to the round table and sat down.
Just one glance at the table and I couldn't help but feel hungry.
A bowl of bird's nest and shredded chicken porridge, served with four side dishes: sweet and sour lotus root, thin slices of ham, shredded deer tendon with soy sauce, and mixed silver sprouts. There is also a pot of Junshan Silver Needle tea and rose lotus seed paste pastry.
Just as Zhao Fanghua picked up the chopsticks, he saw Shuyu take out a silver needle from the tray held by the girl in green next to him. She carefully checked each dish and after confirming that the silver needle had not changed color, she took out the silver chopsticks and randomly picked up a piece from each dish and put it on the plate on the tray. A girl in green took the chopsticks and tasted it naturally.
Shuyu quietly watched the girl in green finish her meal, then carefully observed her expression. After confirming everything was correct, she bowed to Zhao Fanghua and said, "Your Highness, you may have your meal."
Zhao Fanghua's eyes widened. Was this the legendary poison test? How could she have deserved to have a maid test the food?
Moreover, these dishes didn’t seem to be unpalatable at all. They were absolutely to her liking!
Zhao Fanghua stirred the bird's nest porridge with a silver spoon and took a sip. It was as dense as silk and melted in the mouth. Even Zhao Fanghua, a wild boar who had never eaten fine bran, could tell that it was different from the pre-made porridge from the takeaway shop. It turned out that good things can be tasted.
Seeing Zhao Fanghua's satisfied expression, Shuyu hurriedly and enthusiastically helped to serve the dishes. Zhao Fanghua tasted them one by one. Each dish had its own merits, but they all suited her appetite, especially the sweet and sour lotus root, which was sweet and sour, delicious and refreshing.
After a satisfying meal, Shuyu handed Zhao Fanghua a cup of silver needle tea for her to rinse her mouth.
Zhao Fanghua put down the teacup and burped with satisfaction. That’s right, this is the treatment the eldest princess should receive.
He was dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and was surrounded by servants.
only……
Zhao Fanghua lowered her eyelids. There was very little description of this pendant heroine in the novel. Just as the readers said, this character existed only to prove that the male protagonist was heterosexual. How could she play this role well without letting people find out?
"Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood? But the cold you caught a few days ago hasn't completely healed yet?" Shuyu asked with concern when she saw Zhao Fanghua frowning.
Zhao Fanghua found the steps and immediately went down the slope. He nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, that's right."
Shuyu said quickly, "Then I will immediately ask the imperial physician to come and see His Highness."
"Hey, wait!" Zhao Fanghua stopped Shuyu and said with a troubled look on her face, "I don't seem to remember anything. I woke up this morning with a fuzzy head. I thought I didn't sleep well, but I still can't remember anything."
Zhao Fanghua thought very simply. She did not have the original owner's memory and knew nothing about this era. Instead of being exposed for her strange behavior, being treated as a monster and exorcised by Taoist masters, or even being roasted on the fire, it would be better to pretend that she had lost her memory. She was a princess after all. Even if she lost her memory, at most she would be locked up at home and not allowed to go out. It was not like she could not afford to support herself, but at least she could move freely at home, have no worries about food and clothing, and have so many maids to serve her.
Shuyu was shocked when she heard this, and asked in disbelief, trembling, "Does Your Highness still remember this servant?"
Zhao Fanghua looked at the pink-dressed woman for a long moment, then shook her head sadly in the face of her expectant gaze. She knew the maid's name was Shuyu, but she certainly didn't recognize her.
Shuyu's eyes immediately became moist. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears with it: "I am Shuyu. I have been serving Your Highness since I was a child. How could Your Highness forget me..."
Shuyu had a bad feeling in her heart. She wondered if His Highness's brain was damaged by the repeated high fevers of the past few days.
Zhao Fanghua felt a little distressed, feeling that she had taken over someone else's business. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry... I..."
"It's alright, Your Highness!" Shuyu put away her handkerchief, composed herself, and spoke with a hint of encouragement. "I'll immediately ask the best physician at the Imperial Hospital to take Your Highness's pulse. I'm sure he'll be able to restore his memory."
After saying this, he bowed to Zhao Fanghua and left in a hurry.
Seeing Shuyu leave, Zhao Fanghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed comfortable to have someone serving her, but it was too restrictive to follow her so closely. She always felt like she was being monitored and felt uncomfortable all over. Now that there was no one in the room, she could take a closer look.
The room was elegantly and exquisitely decorated, with rosewood furniture, exquisite porcelain ornaments on the antique shelves and treasure chests, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the priceless-looking jewellery on the dressing table, all demonstrating the owner's wealth and luxury.
Zhao Fanghua couldn't help but feel happy.
She had read many time-travel novels. The heroines in those novels either traveled back in time as the concubine daughter of a minor official, having to live under the rule of her mistress with her tail between her legs. Or they traveled back in time as the skinny horse in Yangzhou or the concubine, having no choice but to please men in every way. Even worse were those who traveled back in time as poor people or even refugees, with no clothes to wear and no food to eat.
It seemed that she had gotten a lucky draw this time, with a noble status, a peerless beauty, and a good ending. This made Zhao Fanghua, a lottery insulator who had never won another bottle or a 10-yuan jackpot on a scratch-off lottery, very excited.
Just as Zhao Fanghua was daydreaming, Shuyu came in with an old man carrying a medicine box.
"Greetings, Your Highness." The imperial physician bowed to Zhao Fanghua.
"This is Zhang Yuanpan from the Imperial Hospital." Shuyu introduced Zhao Fanghua to her while helping her to the kang in front of the window. She placed Zhao Fanghua's arm on the kang table and took out a gauze handkerchief to cover her wrist.
Judge Zhang put down the medicine box and half-knelt in front of the kang, putting his fingers on Zhao Fanghua's wrist.
"President Zhang, is there anything wrong with my prince?" Shuyu asked.
Judge Zhang pinched his goatee and said, "Judging from the pulse, Your Highness is fine. The cold he had a few days ago has already subsided. He just needs to rest."
When Shuyu heard this, she immediately became anxious: "How can it be okay? Your Highness even forgot about me!"
Judge Zhang looked solemn as he carefully examined Zhao Fanghua's expression. Seeing that she looked normal, her eyes were filled with curiosity. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, could I please examine the back of your head?"
Zhao Fanghua blinked and nodded in agreement.
Judge Zhang stood up and carefully felt the back of Zhao Fanghua's head, frowning: "Hiss, Your Highness, there is no external injury on the back of your head."
Shuyu asked anxiously, "Could it be that His Highness Feng Han had a recurring high fever a few days ago, and his brain was damaged?!"
As soon as Shuyu finished speaking, she realized her mistake and immediately knelt down to apologize to Zhao Fanghua.
Seeing this, Zhao Fanghua pulled Shuyu up. She had just come here and was not used to the customs of bowing and kneeling here all the time.
Judge Zhang pinched his beard and thought for a moment, then asked, "Your Highness, do you know where the sun rises and sets?"
Zhao Fanghua was puzzled, but still answered without hesitation: "It rises in the east and sets in the west."
Judge Zhang then asked, "How many seasons are there in a year?"
Zhao Fanghua: "Um... four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Judge Zhang then asked, "There are chickens and rabbits in a cage. There are thirty-five chickens and rabbits on top and ninety-four rabbits on the bottom. May I ask how many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage, Your Highness?"
Ah, this... Zhao Fanghua secretly complained in her heart, isn't it just a medical consultation, why does it have to do with chickens and rabbits in the same cage? Although she has completely forgotten the high school knowledge, but chickens and rabbits in the same cage is an elementary school question, it is not difficult for her.
She began to formulate a plan in her mind: suppose there are x chickens and y rabbits, x + y = 35, 2x + 4y = 94...
Judge Zhang on the side just watched quietly without disturbing him.
After counting, Zhao Fanghua snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "23 chickens and 12 rabbits!"
Judge Zhang bowed and said, "Your Highness's calculations are extremely accurate. Your Highness speaks naturally, has common sense, and is a good arithmetician. In my opinion, Your Highness's current symptoms are not caused by brain damage, but may be caused by soul separation syndrome."
"Soul separation syndrome?" Zhao Fanghua and Shuyu said in unison.
Judge Zhang nodded. "Ancient texts record that high fever burns body fluids, obscuring the senses and causing complete forgetfulness. When I was young and traveling, I personally witnessed a man who forgot his name after falling from a horse, but suddenly became fluent in a foreign language. These symptoms are similar to your Highness's current symptoms."
Zhao Fanghua thought to himself, "Could it be that we are fellow villagers from the global village?"
Shuyu asked: "Can His Highness's memory be restored?"
Zhang Yuanpan sighed: "This... maybe one day in the future, His Highness will suddenly regain his memory."
After Zhang Yuanpan left, Shuyu was pacing around the room anxiously. Zhao Fanghua felt a little sorry and said, "Didn't Zhang Yuanpan say that I'm fine, just having lost my memory? Maybe I'll remember it tomorrow. Why are you still so anxious?"
Shuyu said anxiously, "But His Highness will be going to the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager soon!"
