Chapter 15 An Unforgettable Taste (3)
Did Zhou Yan mean to forgive her? At this time, the maid fell off the pavement again and rolled to the side. Han Ji and Xiao Lu rushed to her side, and other maids present also hurried over to help.
Most of the maid's body was burned and cut, and many fragments had penetrated into her flesh. She had lost too much blood and had a high fever and was unconscious since she fell down. Han Ji sent someone to find a doctor to treat her carefully, and also sent a maid to take good care of her, hoping that she would wake up soon!
In order to prevent Yin Yin from blaming herself after knowing this, Han Ji had ordered that no one should reveal this. As for Zhou Yan, after venting his anger, he went to someone's residence in the northeast of the palace [Haitang Garden] full of anger...
The sound of piano rang out, and the person playing the piano was Zhang Ying?
In fact, Zhou Yan has an indescribable love for Zhang Ying's piano music. Whenever he is troubled, he will feel relaxed when he hears her piano music. So whenever he encounters unpleasant or annoying things, he will come to listen to her playing the piano, and today is no exception!
Zhang Ying was playing the piano, while Zhou Yan was drinking heavily!
Zhang Ying knew very well that every time Zhou Yan came, she was in an extremely unhappy mood, but this time she felt particularly irritated?
--at night--
Zhou Yan's emotions seemed to slowly calm down, and he drank slower, as if he was thinking about something?
Since Zhou Yan came, Zhang Ying has never stopped playing the piano, but the two of them have hardly spoken to each other...
"Your Majesty——"
The call from outside the house broke the silence between the two, and Zhang Ying finally stopped what she was doing...
Zhou Yan remained indifferent and continued to drink . "Come in!"
Following a response, Xiaolu and several maids came in carrying something...
In front of the table in the aisle, Xiaolu took the lead in putting down the soup bowl in her hand: "This is the hangover-relief and warming dishes and ginseng soup prepared by the princess for the prince. The princess reminds the prince that drinking too much alcohol can easily harm the body. It's cold and you should pay more attention to rest--"
Xiaolu and the maids put down the dishes they had brought one by one. Zhou Yan didn't seem surprised by their arrival, and Zhang Ying seemed to have gotten used to it as well!
"I have delivered the princess's message. Please enjoy your meal, my lord and Miss Zhang. We will take our leave first."
After saying that, Xiaolu and the maids bowed to Zhou Yan and then retreated one by one!
Looking at the steaming food on the table, Zhou Yan felt unappetized. Whenever he was at home, Han Ji would prepare three meals on time; whenever he drank, Han Ji would prepare ginseng soup for hangover relief and nourishment; whenever he went to bed late, Han Ji would prepare food that was easily digestible and helped him sleep; Han Ji seemed to know everything about his diet, daily life, and work and rest schedule?
Until now, even though he was not in the mansion for a long time, he would miss the food there. The delicacies he ate outside were not as good as the food at home. He didn't know when he had this lingering thought...
Zhang Ying came to Zhou Yan, filled a bowl with soup, and gently held it out to Zhou Yan, who was thinking about something: "Enjoy it while it's hot!"
Zhang Ying's voice brought Zhou Yan back to reality. Facing Zhang Ying, Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, then put down his wine glass and took the bowl of soup from Zhang Ying's hand. The aroma and taste that came from his nose made Zhou Yan unable to resist. Since when did he start to be unable to forget this taste!
It was still dark the next morning.
Fire was already rising in the kitchen.
The servants were busy preparing breakfast, and among them there was a familiar figure...
"Princess, the porridge is ready!"
"Well, put it in the steamer to keep it warm first!"
"Princess, the chicken soup is ready!"
"Okay, put it in the steamer to keep it warm!"
It is really strange that Han Ji, who is a princess, would integrate herself into the busy work of a group of servants, and it seems that she has already become one with the servants?
In the busyness, Han Ji focused on the work in her hands, her face was red, and sweat was flowing across her forehead...
After a busy period.
The sky gradually brightened.
Zhou Yan got up, washed up, and went to the back hall to eat. The hot meal was served quickly...
"Where's the princess?"
Usually during meal times, Han Ji would always arrive earlier than Zhou Yan to wait. Now that the food had been served, there was no sign of Han Ji, and Zhou Yan was a little curious!
"Your Highness, the princess has already instructed us not to come out for dinner today!"
"Why?"
"This - I don't know!"
The maid was a little hesitant in her words, but Zhou Yan didn't seem to care. After hesitating for a moment, he began to eat. He was the only one enjoying the meal at the large round table...
——South of the palace [Zhaoxia Garden]——
“Ahem—”
Clear coughing sounds came from the room.
"princess--"
Xiaolu served Han Ji attentively and patted her back to relieve her cough!
"cough--"
Han Ji coughed, and Xiaolu became anxious when she saw it!
"Princess, should we see a doctor?"
"Well! It's nothing. It's too much of a fuss to call a doctor just because of a few coughs!"
Han Ji said this casually, but she has been feeling a little hot and weak since this morning. She must have caught a cold, right?
"But--"
"No buts, hurry up and get ready, we're going to the dancer—"
Even when she was sick, she still went to visit Yin Yin. It seems that for Han Ji, Yin Yin is really someone she can't let go of...
"...Yes, Princess—"
Unable to argue with Han Ji, Xiaolu had to compromise.
When they arrived at the west wing, Yinyin had already woken up. Seeing Han Ji coming, Yinyin felt a little happy. After serving Yinyin a meal, the maid left...
“Ahem—”
"Eh? Did your sister catch a cold?"
"It's okay, just a little cough, it's nothing serious-"
"Really?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Yin reached out and touched Han Ji's forehead, and put the other hand on her own forehead for comparison. Yin Yin's cold hand made Han Ji feel very comfortable?
"Sister Han Ji, do you have a fever?"
Han Ji's temperature made Yin Yin worried.
"How could that be? You are overthinking, sister!"
Han Ji also touched her forehead and didn't feel any discomfort. She just felt a little weak and didn't feel anything else!
"Xiaolu, please call a doctor !"
"yes--"
Although Han Ji had stopped Xiao Lu from doing so, Xiao Lu was a little worried. However, Yin Yin's order made Xiao Lu happy. If it was Yin Yin, she thought Han Ji would accept the treatment anyway, so she ran away quickly...
"Oh, this girl runs really fast—"
Just when I was about to stop him, Xiaolu disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"Sister Han Ji, why didn't you tell me you were not feeling well? And you came to see me so early in the morning. If your condition worsens, what will you let me do?"
"Maiji, you're too worried. I'm really fine!!"
"My lady, the medicine has been delivered!"
While Han Ji and Yin Yin were arguing, the maid brought the medicine to...
"You're here just in time, bring it here quickly—"
"yes!"
For the first time, Yinyin couldn't wait to ask the maid to bring it to her. The maid was surprised. Yinyin picked up one of the medicine bowls and smelled it and asked: "Is this bowl of soup for driving away the cold?"
Drinking the same medicine and drinking the same bowl of soup every day, Yinyin naturally knows the effect of each bowl of medicine...
"yes!"
"Then sister, drink it quickly--"
"Eh??? No need, this is the medicine for the dancer, right!?"
"What do you mean your medicine or my medicine? This is medicine to drive away the cold. My sister has caught a cold, but I am fine. It will be useless if I drink it. It is better for my sister to drink it. Come on, drink it while it is hot--"
"Really, really, there's no need—"
Yinyin forcefully pushed the medicine to Han Ji, but Han Ji quickly refused...
"Sister Han Ji, although the cold is minor, it will definitely cause trouble if it lasts for a long time. In order to avoid more trouble at night, you should drink it quickly--"
"I said I'm fine—"
"Sister Han Ji——"
Just like this, you push me and I push you, the two of us are in a stalemate...
"If Sister Han Ji doesn't drink, I won't drink either—"
Yinyin put the medicine bowl back on the maid's tray in a huff. In fact, if Han Ji hadn't come to see her and persuade her every day, she wouldn't have been so honest to drink the prepared medicine. It was also because of Han Ji that she could occasionally forget the pain for a short time...
"Eh!? The dancer——"
Yin Yin murmured angrily and turned away.
"Ah!"
Seeing Yin Yin's childish look, Han Ji couldn't help but laugh. After all, she seemed to have never seen Yin Yin have such a childish side: "Okay, can't I drink it?"
Han Ji took the medicine bowl from the tray, looked at it and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter medicine was hard to swallow, so she finally finished the medicine and wiped the remaining medicine from the corner of her mouth with a towel: "Look, I've finished it, now it's the turn of sister Wu Ji to drink——"
Yin Yin turned around and saw that the bowl was empty. She looked at Han Ji again: "That's right—"
"Then should Sister Dancer take her medicine as well?"
Looking at the different kinds of medicine on the maid's tray, Yin Yin couldn't help but feel cold and smiled bitterly: "...Can I not drink it?"
"no!"
"But I drink so much every day, I—"
"Oh? Does my sister not keep her word?"
Of course, it's not good to break one's promise. Helplessly, Yinyin looked at the medicine again, swallowed her breath and picked up the smaller bowl of medicine: "...It looks so bitter——"
"Good medicine tastes bitter—"
Looking at the medicine, Yinyin was still a little hesitant, but she still put it to her mouth...
"Princess, Madam! The doctor is here!!"
Xiaolu came hurriedly with the doctor.
"Xiaolu, didn't I tell you—"
Han Ji was just about to lecture Xiaolu, but halfway through her words she suddenly felt a little unwell?
