Lin Wanyue felt that his constitution was too weak, so she found an opportunity in the evening to get a bowl of spiritual spring water in the villa, and also burned two talismans, soaked them in water and brought them to him.
"..." Qi Yuan frowned instinctively when he saw that the water in the bowl was filthy, quite obviously so.
"Wanwan, let me drink later. Shall we chat for a bit first?" Qi Yuan said to Lin Wanyue, his eyes darting around.
"Let's chat after we finish our drinks."
However, his resistance was too obvious, and Lin Wanyue refused to believe him.
"otherwise……"
"You should drink it quickly, just like taking medicine. This stuff looks dirty, but it's been burned, so it's not dirty anymore. It's better than taking medicine anyway. You need to get healthy so you can grow taller and stronger, just like my brother and the others!"
"..." Qi Yuan's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing her words.
He had always known that he was physically weak, and had even caused quite a few troubles in the court and palace. If it weren't for his uncle Qi Sichen protecting him, he probably would have been dethroned long ago.
"Okay." Qi Yuan picked up the bowl and slowly drank the entire bowl of talisman water.
Lin Wanyue then gave him a sweet smile and said, "I'll bring you a bowl every day from now on, and it will help you recover your health morning and night."
"One bowl every day?"
Does he have to drink this dirty bowl of water every day?
"If you take good care of yourself, you can play with us again," Lin Wanyue coaxed him.
Deep down, she hoped that Qi Yuan would recover his health and become a good emperor, so that the country could be stable and ordinary people like her could have a good life.
Qi Yuan saw the sweet smile on Lin Wanyue's face. Even though he was still a little disgusted by the talisman water, he still felt sweet inside.
"Okay, then I'll drink it every day from now on." Qi Yuan agreed with a smile, but he was a little conflicted inside.
He knew that Lin Wanyue had been forcibly brought to the capital by his uncle in order to cure his illness.
On the one hand, she hoped that her illness would get better soon so that she could play with Lin Wanyue every day; on the other hand, she was afraid that if her illness was really cured, Lin Wanyue might not be willing to stay with her.
Although he was conflicted, he still cherished every moment he could spend with Lin Wanyue.
Every time they ate snacks, Qi Yuan would deliberately pick out the best ones and pile them in front of Lin Wanyue. When he saw that Lin Zheyun was eating too fast, he even gave him a few hints.
The four Lin brothers had never tasted such exquisite and delicious pastries before. Every time they were served, they would be eaten up in no time. Later, after eating them more often, they were no longer so greedy.
Lin Zheyun was the only one who practiced martial arts, and even on the road, he always remembered his grandfather Lin Xiangwu's teachings. As a result, he naturally had a big appetite. He got hungry quickly and ate a lot.
Qi Yuan saw Lin Zheyun swallow the lychee cake in one gulp, his eyelids twitched, and he said, "Second brother, did you not eat enough for lunch? Why do you like lychee cake so much? I thought only Wanwan liked to eat this."
"It's alright, Wanwan still has several more pieces." Lin Zheyun nonchalantly finished off all the pastries placed in front of her while drinking tea.
Lin Zhongyuan's gaze darkened slightly as he glanced at Qi Yuan.
Seeing that he was still young, although she didn't want to think about those things, she couldn't help but be wary.
Could this guy also have a crush on his sister?
Lin Zhongyuan is almost thirteen years old now. Moreover, he usually studies at the academy, where the students are much older than him, and some of them are already married with children. He has always been smart, but he is not a bookworm who is oblivious to the world around him. He knows more or less about things.
But the other four children in the Lin family didn't seem to care. Lin Zheyun spent most of his time outside practicing horseback riding, and when he occasionally came in, he would either eat and drink or brag to Qi Yuan about his dream of becoming a general.
It was impossible to tell how perfunctory Qi Yuan was; on the contrary, he was smug and would go out to practice again after resting for a while.
The twins were even younger, and Lin Ziqiu, who rarely had a free time and didn't have to go out with his master to practice making voodoo dolls, hid in the carriage and played with them.
Qi Yuan rewarded them with some strange and wonderful trinkets, such as the Ghost Craft Ball, the Exquisite Lock, the Linked Ruler, and the White Jade Chess... They played with them happily every day, and Lin Wanyue also joined in.
That day, Lin Zheyun was given a couple of hints by Qi Yuan, but he didn't understand them at all. After drinking a large pot of rose tea, he was about to go out horseback riding.
Lin Zhongyuan put down the book in his hand and said to him, "Second brother, I heard you've been practicing your horsemanship quite well these past few days. Why don't you take me with you?"
"Big brother, can you ride a horse?" Lin Zheyun asked with a hint of disdain.
Lin Zhongyuan: "..."
Lin Zhongyuan squeezed out through gritted teeth, "I can learn even if I don't know how!"
"That's true, I think you learn things quite quickly, brother!" Lin Zheyun went to find the guards and asked for another horse, then personally taught Lin Zhongyuan how to ride.
Lin Zhongyuan himself had some martial arts background, and with Lin Zheyun and the guards teaching him, he was able to ride a horse and slowly follow behind in less than an hour.
Lin Zheyun rode his horse around him, chuckling as he said, "Brother, I knew you learned quickly, but you're too timid. Why are you walking so slowly? How about I whip you? Let's get ahead of them."
"No need! I have something I want to tell you." Lin Zhongyuan deliberately controlled the speed of his horse, falling behind.
