That Consort Jia is a woman full of wicked schemes, always plotting against the Princess.
If she enters the palace and forms an alliance with the Empress Dowager, even if the princess is incredibly ruthless, she won't be able to defeat them.
"We need to find something for the princess to do; we can't let her always be cooped up in that dark, secluded room fiddling with medicinal herbs," Shang Xiye explained casually, a rare occurrence for him.
Wu Ying was speechless. "Your Highness, are you feeling sorry for someone?"
Why did you have to give the princess all this trouble?
Then, Shang Xiye remembered something else, tapped the table, looked up and instructed: "Tell those who follow the princess to be more arrogant when they go out with her in the future."
Shadowless: "..."
It seems like the prince has been led astray by the princess. The prince has always been known for his low-key and reserved behavior.
As night fell, Shang Xiye still came to Huinuan Pavilion from Mozhai.
Ji Fengyao was eating from a cool-to-the-touch jade bowl. She wasn't afraid of the heat, but her body hadn't been modified yet, and she would sweat from the heat if she moved. She didn't like the feeling of being sweaty, so she was only wearing a thin light pink nightgown.
The room was brightly lit by several lamps, which made the young bandit's skin appear even more delicate and her features more striking. Her budding figure was exquisitely beautiful under her thin nightgown, making her incredibly alluring.
Wuhen quickly lowered his head and left the house.
Shang Xiye coughed lightly, wanting to tell her to wear more clothes, but seeing Xique happily serving her food and her eating with great appetite, he pursed his lips and shut his mouth.
"Hmm? Your Highness, you've arrived. Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together." Ji Fengyao's mouth was stuffed full, and her chubby little face looked like a little hamster.
This little thing finally showed some conscience today, and started caring about his diet.
(Ji Fengyao: That's what people on Earth say when they're eating. Why are you making things up?)
Shang Xiye's mood improved somewhat, and he said softly, "I had some food when I came."
Ji Fengyao gave an "Oh" and continued eating. Noticing the faint dark circles under his eyes, her expression immediately darkened: "Your Highness, did you not sleep after you went back last night?"
"I have some things to take care of," Shang Xiye replied casually, as if it were commonplace.
Seeing how troublesome the patient was, Ji Fengyao's professional instincts kicked in again. She slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and snapped, "Why are you so disobedient? Haven't you heard that health is the foundation of everything? The main reason I chose to give you acupuncture at night is to reduce your pain and help you sleep more soundly. You're going to stay up all night?"
I've never heard of that.
However, the fact that this little female bandit cared about him so much made him feel quite good.
A faint sweet feeling rose in Shang Xiye's heart, and her voice softened involuntarily, appearing weak compared to Ji Fengyao's rising arrogance: "Military matters are not like other things; they must be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Do you have to do everything yourself? What are those people around you good for? They can't help you at all, what are they good for?" Ji Fengyao walked to Shang Xiye's side and took his pulse. The more she took his pulse, the darker her face became, and the angrier she got.
Wuhen outside the door and Wuzhong in the shadows: "..."
Your Highness, the things the Prince handles are things that no one else could possibly manage.
"All your efforts these past few days have been wasted. Do you want to die?" Ji Fengyao gritted her teeth, wishing she could beat this disobedient patient to a pulp.
Shang Xiye, feeling uncomfortable after being scolded repeatedly, coughed lightly and, with a stern face, instructed Xique and Bailu, who were watching the commotion from the side, "You two go down first. You don't need to serve me here anymore."
