Li Can stood on the carriage with his mouth pouted and his long eyelashes drooping, ignoring him, but he did not dare to resist.
Zhao Ye stepped forward, stretched out his long arms, and lifted her off the carriage.
"I'll go by myself." Li Can kicked his feet.
As soon as her toes hit the ground, she turned around and ran away. After entering the dormitory, she went straight to the west dormitory.
Passing by the Jingtao tree and looking at the pile of trinkets, she felt angry and walked faster.
"Girl..." Tang Cake followed, wanting to persuade her.
"Go get water." Li Can raised his hand and tugged on his collar.
It was really hot outside, and she hadn't bathed in so many days, so her body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Tang Cake hesitated for a moment and then responded: "Yes."
Xu Yuan just told the girl to take a bath tomorrow, but seeing that the girl was very angry right now, if he still persuaded the girl not to take a bath, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire?
She wouldn't dare.
When the girl is taking a bath later, she just needs to be careful not to remove those scabs.
"You watch the girl, I'll get water." Tang Qiu turned around and walked out.
Li Can felt disgusted that he was too dirty, so he changed the water once, then closed his eyes and soaked in the tub. Surrounded by the hot water, he felt refreshed and relieved a lot of the anger in his heart.
After taking a bath, she went to bed and rested.
Since I had no appetite for lunch and didn't want to listen to the chatter about sweets and cakes, I pretended to be asleep and lay in bed until evening, with the scene of Zhao Zong and Zhou Xianru talking over and over in my mind.
Most of the day passed like this, during which I seemed to have slept for a while and had a dream, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember what I dreamed about. I just felt that my mind was in a mess and I was more tired than before I fell asleep.
"Girl..." Tang Cake couldn't bear it any longer. It was almost dinner time and the girl would be starving if she didn't have dinner.
Moreover, the girl did not take the soup for lunch.
Li Can fell asleep on his side facing the bed, ignoring her, staring at the delicate patterns embroidered on the bed curtains.
There was the sound of the door being pushed open.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Candy cakes and sugar balls salute together.
Li Can knew that Zhao Zong was coming. Now, she didn't want to get up anymore, and simply closed her eyes.
"Li Can, get up." Zhao Zhi's voice was light.
Li Can remained motionless, pretending not to hear.
The next moment, her wrist tightened, and before she could react, she asked Zhao Zong to pull her up.
"What are you doing!" Li Can raised her foot and kicked him.
Zhao Zhen grabbed her ankle with his other hand and said in a light voice, "Have a meal."
"I'm not hungry." Li Can lowered his eyes.
Zhao Ye let go of her, took the bowl from Wu Zai, stirred the spoon and blew on it.
A fresh aroma similar to chicken soup slowly spread.
Li Can felt like he was hungry.
She glanced quietly.
In the delicate white porcelain bowl, there is half a bowl of dumplings the size of Yuanxiao. There are a few green vegetable leaves floating on the clear soup. Just looking at it will make people's index fingers move.
Wu Zao was afraid that she wouldn't eat it and the two of them would get into trouble again, so he smiled and explained: "Girl, this dish is also made by the old imperial chef, and it's called Four Sets of Eight Treasures.
It is also a vegetarian dish that makes the meat taste better. The younger one only knows that there are mung bean flour and golden taro in it, a total of eight kinds of vegetarian dishes."
"Isn't this a meatball?" Li Can asked back.
"Yes." Wu Zao smiled and said, "The full name of this dish is called Four Sets of Eight Treasure Meatballs."
Zhao Ye picked a meatball and fed it to Li Can's lips.
Li Can hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his hunger. He lowered his head and took a small bite with the spoon, then chewed carefully with his small mouth open.
Several people looked at her.
After she tasted the taste, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, like a kitten who had just eaten a small dried fish, looking very satisfied.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this also cooked with yesterday's soup stock?" Li Can was curious and looked at Wu Zai: "The aroma seems to be different."
Yesterday's one seemed lighter, but today's one tastes more like real meat and has a richer texture.
"That's not true." Seeing her asking this, Wu Zai hurriedly said, "But I only know a rough idea.
I heard that the vegetarian meatballs are made first, put into the belly of the quail, and stewed over a slow fire for an hour.
Then take out the quail, put it into the belly of the pigeon, and fry it thoroughly in a hot oil pan.
After the pigeons are cooled, they are stuffed into the duck belly, steamed in a steamer, and finally stuffed into the goose belly.
The goose is placed on the charcoal fire and roasted slowly until it is golden brown and dripping with oil.
Finally, take out the vegetarian meatballs from the quail's belly, which is what the girl eats."
Li Can suddenly understood and nodded his little head lightly: "No wonder it's called the Four Sets of Eight Treasures. It turns out that's how it is done. It really deserves its name."
"Don't talk much during the meal." Zhao Zhen fed her another half of a meatball.
Li Can was not angry, but he had something delicious to eat, so he swallowed his anger.
Today she has completely improved, the pain in her mouth is not much anymore, and she has a great appetite. She not only ate all ten meatballs, but also drank a lot of soup.
"Get up." Zhao Zhen stood up and handed the bowl to Wu Zai.
"What are you doing?" Li Can held the water cup and looked at the window in confusion: "It's already dark, what are you doing up?"
She said she took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth.
Tang Cong took the saliva bowl by the bedside.
"Xiaoshi." Zhao Zhen stood in front of the bed, one hand behind his back, his tone unquestionable.
Li Can curled his lips, knowing that he could not resist, so he reluctantly got out of bed and changed his clothes.
July is the height of summer, and even at night, it's very boring outside.
When Zhao Ge arrived, he did not ask Li Can to squat on the wall, but took her to walk around in the garden.
The moonlight is just right outside, and lanterns are lit everywhere in the garden, giving it a misty beauty.
"It's so hot, has it been for half an hour?" Li Can asked Zhao Ge to hold her hand and looked around restlessly.
"No, it's only been a quarter of an hour." Zhao Zong led her and continued walking forward.
"You're lying to me." Li Can didn't believe it.
Zhao Ye ignored her and just pulled her away.
Li Can asked him to drag him for a long time, and he was sweating all over. He was really tired. After returning to the west dormitory to take a bath, he fell asleep.
The next day, it was dark and bright, but Zhao Zong woke up again.
"do what?"
Li Can couldn't open his eyes and rubbed his matted hair irritably, wishing he could throw the pillow on Zhao Hao's face, otherwise Zhao Hao would disturb his dreams.
"Get up and go practice." Zhao Zhen said calmly.
"I understand, you go first, I will come back later." Li Can hugged the thin quilt and lay down again.
"Get up now, I'll wait for you." Zhao Zhen pulled her up again, picked her up and placed her on the small stool in front of the dressing table.
Li Can wanted to bite him, so he lay down on the dressing table in anger and stamped his feet.
After Zhao Zong's troubles, she had no sleepiness at all. She wanted to go home! Go home! She would sleep until midnight with no one to care about her.
Yes, I will go home after practicing later.
"Why do you have to practice every day?" She looked at herself in the bronze mirror with despair.
Behind her, Tanggao tied up her hair.
Although Tang Cake is not a maid who specializes in hair tying, as a big maid, she can do everything.
Zhao Ji stood not far away and ignored Li Can.
Li Can finished packing and stood up listlessly: "Let's go."
"Drink water." Zhao Zhi handed her a cup of warm water.
Li Can drank most of the cup of water in small sips and handed the tea cup back to him.
Zhao Xie took it and put it on the table aside, then led her to the garden.
The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the birds are chirping outside. The morning wind is mixed with a bit of coolness, and there is a bit of freshness in the summer morning.
Li Can felt better.
When they arrived at the place where they were practicing, Zhao Zhi let go of her and said, "I will move my hands and feet first, and I will practice the "Longevity Kung Fu" later."
"I know." Li Can stood where he always stood and stretched his hands and feet.
She inadvertently raised her eyes and looked around, and suddenly felt something was wrong. There was nothing around the stone table under the big tree.
She put down her raised hand, glanced again, and looked at Zhao Zong: "Where is my swing? Where is my toy?"
Those things, she always came to practice to play with or take a look at.
Sometimes Zhao Zong practiced for a long time, and she had to wait for Zhao Zong to have breakfast. When she was bored, she would play with those gadgets.
The servants in the East Palace also know it, so as long as it doesn't rain, those things will be displayed here.
"Tear it down." Zhao Zhen fiddled with the spear and never looked back.
"Demolished?" Li Can believed those things in the East Palace courtyard, and then remembered Zhou Xianru's attitude as a hostess, and her heart moved: "Who demolished it? Is it Zhou Xianru?"
Zhao Jie said nothing.
"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing." Li Can's eyes turned slightly pink, and his expression changed: "Just now, I said, 'I never thought that I would not be allowed to come to the East Palace.' Now I took apart all my things.
Zhao Zhen, just spoil her!"
After she finished speaking, tears burst into her eyes, she turned around and ran out.
"Girl..." Wu Zai took two steps forward, wanting to explain to His Highness.
But when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
It is a fact that His Highness protected Zhou Xianru.
well!
He turned to look at Zhao Zhen again: "Your Highness, look at this..."
Zhao Ye looked back at Li Can's back: "Go and call the carriage and bring a few more people to escort her home."
"Yes." Wu Zao hurriedly ran to make arrangements.
＊
"Girl, are you going home?"
The carriage left the East Palace, and Tang Cake cautiously followed the carriage and asked.
Li Can was still angry, so he ignored her question at first.
After a while, she opened the carriage curtain and said: "Go to Bazhenzhai, I want to have breakfast."
Didn’t Zhao Zhi not ask her to eat food from outside?
She went away, why should she listen to Zhao Zhi?
"Yes." Tang Cake didn't dare to persuade her at the moment. As long as the girl calmed down, it would be okay to have some snacks.
At this time, it was breakfast time, and people were coming and going in Bazhenzhai, which was very lively.
"How many girls are there?" The waiter came up to greet them.
"I want a good private room." Li Can said casually.
"I'm sorry, girl, the rooms are full right now. Can you look behind the screen?" The clerk pointed to the screen in the lobby.
