Chapter 8 (2): Don't worry about this bowl of sugar water
It happened that at this time, the servant brought the sugar water from the guards, saluted Huang Chenling, and said: "Greetings to His Highness the Second Prince, these are the mung bean sugar water specially cooked by the ghost doctor for the guards. They can relieve the heat and quench thirst."
"Okay, you can send them to the guards." Huang Chenling dismissed the servants and stared at Yan Ruocheng with a look like "What else do you have to say?"
She was petrified on the side, and she didn't explain anything. She was slapped in the face so fast that she forgot that she had just asked a servant to deliver sugar water.
"I think, Second Prince, your physique seems to be that of a yang deficiency, and you don't need to be too cold, so I didn't reserve your share..." Yan Ruocheng couldn't find a better reason and squeezed out
There is a more reliable reason.
It would have been better not to mention this reason. As soon as she said it, Huang Chenling turned dark, gritted her teeth and whispered: "You are a Yangxu!"
She knew that she had spoken out the wrong reason again, so she quickly knelt down on her knees and brought the sugar water in her hand to him, and said: "Second Prince, don't be angry, it's the villain who saw it wrong. Second Prince, you are
He has a peaceful physique, is energetic, very healthy, and very brilliant. This sugar water is also very suitable for the second prince."
"Forget it, I won't hold you accountable, you drank it." Huang Chenling just wanted to scare her and had no intention of punishing her.
Yan Ruozhen held the sugar water and frowned. She has a yin constitution and cannot drink it too cold. What should she do? If she drinks this special bowl, her stomach will be uncomfortable all night long and she will fart loudly.
Huang Chenling saw that she was hesitant to speak and asked, "Don't you know how to add ingredients to sugar water? You don't even dare to drink it yourself."
"If I drink it, I'm afraid it will be indecent. This bowl of cold sugar water is not suitable for a little person to drink, so I still poured it out." Yan Ruocheng continued to pour it as he said it, but it all turned white.
No need to worry about this bowl of sugar water anymore.
After she poured it down, she felt relaxed. She turned around and said with a smile: "Second Prince, it's getting late. Don't read for so long. I'll go back first."
"Who said you can leave? Sit down." Huang Chenling had no intention of letting her go.
"Second Prince, what's the matter?" Yan Ruozhen sat down obediently, pretending to be innocent, looking at him, hoping that he would be fine and stop looking for trouble to embarrass her.
He handed the ancient book in his hand to her and asked: "Look at the plant inside, does it look like the Bailinghuang that my father said? I looked at it for a long time and felt that this one is the most similar...
..”
She took the ancient book and took a look at the content. It read: Apiaceae, Centella asiatica, and genus Centella asiatica. It is a perennial creeping herb with slender stems and creeping roots. The leaves are round and kidney-shaped, with blunt teeth on the edges.
With long handle.
The plant described was just the common clam plant, which is commonly seen on the roadside. She glanced at Huang Chenling as if expecting her to nod in agreement. This made her struggle with how to answer him politely without showing that he was stupid.
"Huh? This doesn't seem to be the case. I only know that it is called clamshell grass. It has light red flowers in summer and autumn, and the fruit is round and spherical, with both sides flattened. It grows in field ridges, beside villages, roadsides, ditches, grasslands, and wetlands."
Yan Ruocheng's serious explanation.
Huang Chenling didn't believe her and asked, "Are you sure it's not? Maybe it has similar characteristics, but not necessarily?"
"Actually, I have never heard of this plant. If there is no such plant in the world, it is just replaced by another name. It may not be the same plant. Why don't we go and ask the villagers tomorrow?
The herb collector, as far as I know, only the herb collector knows the most." Yan Ruocheng could not draw a conclusion, she only told Huang Chenling her thoughts and secretly wanted to go on a trip with him tomorrow.
She waited for his answer quietly. Huang Chenling could see her thoughts at a glance. However, considering the medicinal herbs, she still had to rely on her and agreed.
"Okay, I'll go find the herb collector tomorrow and ask."
"Well, that's great, hehe..." She felt happy and put a smile on her face. Despite the red birthmark, her facial features were quite sweet.
Huang Chenling observed her carefully. If it were not for that ugly red birthmark, she might be a good-looking woman, although not gorgeous, especially those rows of white crescent teeth. Huh? It's strange, it's the first time I've seen her before.
Aren't her teeth black and yellow? Now they look as if they have been polished, white and bright.
He had never looked at her carefully before, but now he noticed her changes and asked doubtfully: "When did your teeth become white? I remember the first time I saw your teeth, they were black and yellow."
"I wiped my teeth, and after I wiped them out, I developed a tooth-cleaning ointment. I brushed my teeth every night and gradually whitened my teeth. Because I was too poor before, I didn't have the money to buy these things, which made my teeth yellow and black. The second prince,
Don't worry about the details of the villain. The villain just wants to look good so as not to be too scary." Yan Ruocheng explained cleverly, snickering quietly in his heart. He actually noticed her teeth now, which proves that he has begun to
Paying attention to her is a small step closer to him.
She answered naturally, and Huang Chenling didn't suspect anything. After all, the change in her appearance had nothing to do with him, it only had to do with the imperial brother, and she was his subordinate. She was only ugly because she was an embarrassment to his face. Maybe she
It was in order not to embarrass the imperial brother that he deliberately dressed himself up to look respectable. This was what he simply thought.
"How did you meet my imperial brother?" Huang Chenling was curious and continued to ask.
