After Yin Qianhua played with the two girls for a while, Lin You examined Yun Ruonan in another room and then determined the treatment plan. Yun Ruonan's condition was similar to Xiao Yao's, and both were recovering well. They would be fully recovered after a period of treatment.
"The treatment plan I've prepared for the princess is a combination of acupuncture and medicine. The prescription is ready, but there are a few precious herbs in it that you'll need to figure out how to use."
"Let Achen handle this matter!" Yin Qianhua believed that her son would definitely handle it well.
"I have another list of medicines. Achen, please send it to the Xiao family and ask them to prepare the herbs on it as soon as possible."
"Is it the prescription for Ping'an's child? If so, let Achen do it together. There is no need to notify the Xiao family." Yin Qianhua thought it was not a big deal. Besides, her son went back to the palace to get the medicine and brought an extra one with him. There was no need to make another special trip to the Xiao family.
Yun Yichen returned to the palace with two lists of medicines. When he ordered people to get the medicine, Xiao Anzi noticed a small note hidden in Xiao Yao's prescription.
"Young Master, please take a look." Xiao Anzi handed the thing in his hand to Yun Yichen.
Yun Yichen unfolded a long, thin slip of paper. It had the following words neatly written on it: "Please tell the Xiao family's eldest wife, whoever sees this, to prepare the following supplies: two travel journals, silk thread, and brocade. It would be even better if you could bring my younger sister, Xiao Yuan, along. Please, please."
Xiao Yao thought that Lin You would ask someone to deliver a list of medicines to her house, so she wrote a note requesting that the medicine be included in the list. She never expected that this thing would fall into Yun Yichen's hands, and Lin You had long forgotten Xiao Yao's small request.
"Or I can send this to the Xiao family." Xiao Anzi saw that his master frowned and thought he was angry. He didn't know why, but his master just didn't like Miss Xiao. The two of them disliked each other and had even quarreled. He had been with his master for several years and had never encountered such a thing before.
"Prepare the two sets of medicinal materials first. Remember to prepare the best ones and larger quantities."
"Yes." The steward of the palace bowed and prepared to leave.
"Tell the embroiderer in the needlework room to prepare some fine silk thread and brocade. Not too much, but good quality, and send it over."
"Yes." The steward replied, wondering what happened to the prince today. He even had to have sex with a woman before using the things. These might be selected for the princess and the county lord. Yes, that must be the case.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yun Yichen flipped through the note and took a look at it. He still wanted to read a book. She didn't take a good rest when she was sick, and she was making a fuss as soon as she felt a little better. When will this little girl be more obedient?
"Can't you just be more obedient?" Yun Yichen muttered with a unhappy look on his face.
It seems that the master is a little impatient. I don’t know what this Miss Xiao wants to do next. Look how angry the young master is.
Yun Yichen felt depressed for a moment before heading to his study. He rarely read travelogues, so he wasn't sure if he could find it. He wondered if his father or sister had it. He'd try his own study first, and if that didn't work, he'd try the other two. "Hmph, if it weren't for her being a patient, and if it weren't for General Xiao being injured while trying to fend for his father, I wouldn't have bothered with this!"
There are actually two travel books in Yun Yichen's study, but one of them has been there for who knows how long. Yun Yichen always feels that it is not clean and not suitable for the patient to take; the other one also contains several short stories about talented men and beautiful women, which makes it even more unsuitable for little girls to read. What should he do?
Should I look for it in my father and sister's study?
"Master, I have an idea. There is a bookstore on the way back. We can bring two books to Miss Xiao and ask her to pay us." This solved the problem and the Master didn't suffer any loss.
"Idiot." Yun Yichen stretched out his leg and kicked Xiao Anzi. He had never heard of asking for money from his own guests. How could he be so stingy? Besides, this was a gift to the little girl in the name of the Xiao family. Why did he ask for money? This Xiao Anzi was really getting stupider and stupider.
Because Yun Yichen had no intention of asking for any reward at all, not even the slightest bit.
There were many travelogues in the bookstore, but Yun Yichen either found the content boring and unappealing, or the language not elegant and expressive enough. There were two books that looked passable, but they only described the scenery of the south...
Seeing his master's frown getting tighter and tighter, Xiao Anzi was worried about Miss Xiao. Will these two start arguing again when they meet? Look how embarrassed his own prince is.
"Young Master, why don't we go? Just say that we didn't see the note at all and let her send someone home to get it." Xiao Anzi blamed himself for being nosy. If he hadn't been nosy, the Young Master would have completed the task assigned by the princess and returned to the villa.
Yun Yichen was already feeling irritated, unsure how to choose. Hearing Xiao Anzi's words, he glared back. "Did this guy forget to bring his brain with him this morning? He's been fussing around for so long, and now he's just walking away. Is that what a man should do? It's just a matter of choosing a few books. How could this be so difficult for this prince?"
"Your Highness, look, isn't that Miss Xiao's biological brother? We can let him do this job." Xiao Yang came from the opposite side of the street. He did not look around, and walked at a steady pace. He was heading towards this bookstore.
"Shut up! If you tell anyone, you won't be able to eat fish for ten days." Xiao Anzi loves fish the most. He won't get tired of it even if he has fish for every meal. On the contrary, if he doesn't eat fish for two days, he will scratch his ears and cheeks and won't enjoy his meal.
"Stop! Can't I just say nothing?" This prince is now taking advantage of me and attacking me in the most fatal places. Isn't it because I want to help you solve your problems that I resorted to this desperate measure? It's really hard to be a good person these days!
"Shopkeeper, has the book I wanted arrived?" Xiao Yang asked after walking in and bowing slightly to the shopkeeper.
"The book that the Third Young Master wanted arrived a long time ago. I thought you would come to get it yesterday! I have already packed it for you." The shopkeeper likes customers like Xiao Yang the most, who come here frequently and love and understand books.
"Here's the money for the books." Xiao Yang took out some silver from his pocket to pay. He hadn't been in the mood to come get the books yesterday. If it weren't for his grandfather's concern for Ping An, his family would have almost resorted to family law. Alas! He didn't know how Ping An was doing now. She lived in the palace's villa and he couldn't go to see her. He could only pray silently in his heart that she would recover soon and return home soon.
Touching the purse on his waist, one side of which was embroidered with the poem "There is a path to the mountain of books through diligence, the sea of learning is boundless through hard work" and the other side was embroidered with a picture of a studying boy, Xiao Yang's mouth curled up. He liked this purse very much. He didn't know how Ping An came up with the idea, but with just a few simple stitches he could outline the image of a character. Moreover, each of the eleven men had his own characteristics, so one could tell which purse was for which person at a glance.
This morning, when Mother distributed the purses, the atmosphere in the house suddenly became lively. Even Grandfather couldn't let go, turning it over and over again. My fifth brother, upon seeing his own image on horseback, kissed it with such excitement that he even asked Xiaofu if she would continue embroidering purses. If she didn't, he'd put his own away as a keepsake.
"By the way, the recipes and chess manuals you asked us to find last time have arrived. Would you like to take a look?"
"Bring it here for me to see." He'd asked the bookstore for the recipes at the request of his two younger sisters. As for the chess manual? Xiao Yang had discussed it with his second brother and ordered it specifically for Xiao Yao. His younger sister enjoyed reading, writing, and painting, was only half-hearted about playing the piano, and dodged chess whenever possible. Sometimes, she'd even doze off while playing, which was truly indescribable. Nanny Ruan had always wanted to find an easy-to-understand chess manual, so as a brother, Xiao Yang naturally had to make the effort to find one.
Yun Yichen wanted to leave while Xiao Yang was concentrating on the book. He had already picked out two travelogues from a pile of unsatisfactory ones. He felt that as a patient, Xiao Yao should just focus on recuperating. When would her body recover from embroidering and reading?
Xiao Anzi: The prince is not short of money. He only bought two books for Miss Xiao. It can be seen that the prince really doesn't like her. I have to keep in step with the master and stay away from Miss Xiao in the future, or just ignore her.
After Yun Yichen walked out of the bookstore, Xiao Yang recognized his back. He opened his mouth to call out to the prince and ask about Xiao Yao's recent situation. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Xiao Yang could not do such a thing as asking a boy about his sister.
After returning to the villa, Yun Yichen first warned Xiao Anzi not to tell anyone about Xiao Yao's note and the things he had prepared.
"Then I will tell Miss Xiao that these things were taken from the Xiao family." Xiao Anzi looked at Yun Yichen's expression and said while guessing.
"Go find the little girl next to her, don't let anyone else see, and tell her that you got the things from Doctor Lin, do you understand?" If the adults around Xiao Yao saw Xiao Anzi giving things, they might become suspicious. Yun Yichen didn't want to expose himself.
"I understand." Although he didn't know why the prince had to go through so much trouble, in order to still be able to eat the fish, Xiao Anzi could only shut up and get to work.
Xiao Yao was a little confused when she opened the things. The silk thread and brocade were obviously not from her room. What kind of beginner would use such fine silk thread and brocade? And those two books were obviously new. What was going on? Could it be that the princess prepared these for her? If so, why didn't she tell her?
"Xiaohui, who gave you these things?"
"It's Xiao Anzi who serves as the servant of Prince Yun." Xiao Hui got angry when she thought of Xiao Anzi's cold attitude and ambiguous tone. The prince bullied his own young lady, and now the followers around him also bullied her. It's true that like master, like servant. Neither the master nor the servant is a good person.
If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. Anyway, it can't be a gift from Yun Yichen. I can use these brocades to embroider two sachets for the princess and the county lord. Yes, that's it.
