Perhaps Qi Xiuyao's words gave Yu Shuyue some peace of mind. Even if she didn't receive a letter from Suizhou in the remaining time, at least she didn't look as worried as before.
However, she was often woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night, which made her afraid to fall asleep several times for fear of dreaming about something bad.
Ever since she dreamed about those things in her previous life, Yu Shuyue was afraid of dreaming.
Her dreams may sometimes be more than just dreams.
I didn't sleep well at night, which made me feel sluggish and depressed the next day.
"Miss, His Royal Highness has sent someone to deliver something."
Shaoyao looked at the young lady lying on the couch with her eyes closed and resting. She didn't want to disturb the young lady.
But what the prince sent was exactly the ice drink that the young lady drank at the prince's residence that day.
The young lady loves this stuff very much, and the people in the Prince's Mansion specifically told her that if she keeps it for a long time, it won't taste as good as it did in the first place.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Yu Shuyue had just fallen asleep and did not hear what Shaoyao said clearly.
"Miss, someone from His Highness the Prince's residence brought the drink you tasted at the Prince's residence that day."
"Oh? Didn't His Highness say that it would be better if it were cooked and eaten fresh?"
As soon as Yu Shuyue heard that it was the drink she had tasted before that had always been on her mind, she lost all sleep, gathered her clothes that had fallen off her body and stood up from the couch.
"I don't know, but I saw that the box in the hands of the people in the Prince's Mansion was quite exquisite. I have never seen it before."
"Let's go and have a look."
Yu Shuyue became interested.
Earlier, Qi Xiuyao said that the food should be cooked and eaten immediately, and he wanted to trick her into going to the Prince's Mansion.
She thought she would never be able to eat again if she didn't go.
When Yu Shuyue went to the front hall, she not only saw the steward who often brought things to her for Qi Xiuyao, but also a middle-aged woman who was dressed more elegantly than ordinary maids.
"Miss Yu, this is a box specially made by your Highness by skilled craftsmen. Hot food can be kept warm after about half an hour if placed in it. Similarly, if ice is placed in it, it can still be kept warm after an hour.
appearance."
When the manager saw Yu Shuyue coming, he first saluted her, then brought the box containing the ice drink to her and introduced it to her.
"Oh, does it actually have such a function?"
Yu Shuyue became interested after hearing this, and all her thoughts were focused on the box in front of her, which was about five feet long and four feet wide.
As the steward said, he opened the box, and then she saw that there was something else inside.
There was a smaller box of the same size inside. After the manager opened the small box, he never thought that there was a smaller box inside.
Just when Yu Shuyue thought there was still a box, when she opened it this time, she finally found the familiar bowl of cold, red and green drinks.
"You can actually see ice particles inside."
Yu Shuyue's tone was particularly surprised.
The distance between Prince's Mansion and Yu Mansion is not close, and the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently.
In this weather, if a piece of ice is left in the room, it will probably melt into water in less than a cup of tea.
"Miss Yu, this is Su Sanniang, the cook who makes this drink. Not only can she make such exquisite iced drinks, but she also has all kinds of snacks at her fingertips. His Highness the Prince specially asked the servant to bring Sanniang to the girl.
you."
Seeing that she had finished looking at the box in front of her, the manager introduced her to Su Sanniang, who was standing respectfully beside her, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Sanniang has met Miss Yu." Su Sanniang smiled lightly and saluted the girl in front of her.
"Prince, what do you mean?"
Yu Shuyue glanced at Su Sanniang in front of her, and then returned her eyes to the manager.
It was obvious that she was a little confused about the current situation.
"Since Sanniang is at your house, you can eat it whenever you want. If there is not enough ice, you can come to the Prince's house to get it at any time."
The manager just smiled and said while handing Qi Xiuyao's personal jade pendant to Yu Shuyue.
"Originally, the Crown Prince wanted to come and give this jade pendant to you in person, but he was too busy with worldly affairs to leave, so he asked me to deliver it to you on my behalf."
Yu Shuyue took the jade pendant blankly, and after a while she replied: "Thank you, His Highness, for me."
"Then if there's nothing else to do, I'll go back and do some work."
"Manager, go slowly, Peony will see off the guests."
After sending the manager away, she remembered that Su Sanniang was there, and asked the maid to take Sanniang down to settle down. She sat on the chair with her chin in her hands and stared at the box and jade pendant in front of her in a daze.
She never expected that Qi Xiuyao would directly send the cook over to her.
The cook's demeanor didn't look like that of an ordinary cook, someone who came out of the palace at first.
Moreover, his series of actions directly made Yu Shuyue wonder if he had planned to give the cook to him from the beginning. The last time he told her to go to the Prince's Mansion, he was just teasing her.
After all, such a delicate and complicated box cannot be built in a month or two.
With Qi Xiuyao like this, it's hard for her to stay rational.
Whenever Yu Shuyue was aroused by his thoughtful actions, she could only keep using Shi An's ending to tell herself not to be too obsessed.
Qi Xiuyao was indeed thinking about how to make her life more comfortable in the hot weather before the weather got completely hot.
He knew that because she was afraid of the heat, she went to Jiangnan every summer to escape the heat.
Although the climate in Shangjing City is not as extreme as outside the Great Wall, the temperature in summer is still much hotter than that in the south of the Yangtze River every year.
Su Sanniang was used to making some delicious snacks to relieve the heat, so he had already planned to send Sanniang to her.
The reason why he didn't go to the Yu Mansion in person today was because he had to find a way to get medicinal materials for Kong Qing, who was far away in Suizhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive for long just relying on the few medicinal materials Kong Qing took his soldiers to collect in the mountains.
Thousands of miles away in Suizhou, Yu Hengyue was still lying on the bed in the posthouse with his weak body.
However, during this period, his health improved a lot and he was able to sit up slowly and take medicine and drink it by himself.
Although he can sit up and drink medicine by himself, he can't get out of bed yet, and because he has the plague, only Kong Qing can enter this room.
But lately, Kong Qing leaves early and comes back late every time. He rarely sees him and doesn't know what he is busy with.
"Yu Qi, what is Mr. Kong Qing doing?"
He shouted outside the door, his voice still hoarse and weak. After all, Yu Qi was a martial arts practitioner and had good ears and eyesight, so he could hear his voice clearly.
"Back to the general, Mr. Kong Qing took the soldiers up the mountain to collect medicine."
"What? He went up the mountain to collect medicine by himself?"
"General, you don't know that the medicinal materials in the city have been gone for a long time. During this period, I have been relying on Mr. Kong Qing to take the soldiers to the mountains to collect medicinal materials to make medicine for you and the people in the city. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."
Yu Qi didn't finish what he said, but Yu Heng knew more and more what he wanted to say.
Indeed, if Kong Qing hadn't found a way to get the medicinal materials, I'm afraid he would have gone to see the King of Hell. This chapter has been completed!
