"He has just recovered from a serious illness. He can't help but feel nervous when he sees me. He has to salute me, which is not good for his health." Zhao Zong replied calmly and opened the oil paper package containing the silver crisps in his hand.
"It smells so good." Li Can reached out to take it: "It's still warm."
She picked up a piece of silver cake and was a little disappointed: "Just two pieces?"
"Li Can." Zhao Ye raised his eyes to look at her and said in a calm tone, "I will always be happy with what I have."
"Okay." Li Can took a small bite of the silver cake, pursed her lips and smiled at him.
Zhao Ye looked at her and looked away.
"It's so sweet and delicious." Li Can narrowed his eyes like a kitten, extremely satisfied.
She was so busy these days that she almost never went to the market to hang out.
Desserts are eaten every day, and the snacks made in her small kitchen now also contain sugar.
But when you eat it in your mouth, it's just slightly sweet, far less sweet than what's sold in shops outside.
However, she also knew that eating too much sugar was bad for the body, so she never asked the kitchen to add more sugar.
Just eating snacks from outside now and then is still very good.
She ate the snacks in small bites, like a little rabbit holding green vegetables and gnawing slowly, so cute.
Zhao Ye glanced at her from time to time.
"Brother Zeyu, do you want to eat?" Li Can asked him with her crow-green eyelashes flashing, but she was not willing to send the snacks out.
She knew that Zhao Zong didn't like things that were too sweet, so she just asked casually.
Zhao Zong raised the silver cake in his hand: "Give this one to me?"
"No!" Li Can blurted out her refusal, and felt embarrassed after saying it: "Um...don't you like eating too sweet..."
Zhao Ye said nothing, just looked at her quietly.
Li Can looked at the silver cake in his hand, then at the small half left in his hand, and tentatively said, "How about we exchange?"
A hint of smile flashed across Zhao Ye's eyes: "That's fine."
Li Can was afraid that he would regret it, so he quickly gave him the silver cake in his hand and took a bite with a smile.
Zhao Ye pinched the remaining half of the silver cake she had eaten, took only a small bite, but stared at it for a long time.
Li Can had finished eating. Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, he couldn't help but ask him: "Brother Zeyu, don't you like eating?"
"You've eaten so much, and you're still hungry?" There was amusement in Zhao Zong's eyes.
"I just don't want to waste it." Li Can explained in a low voice.
Zhao Ye took another small bite and handed the rest back to her: "Eat it."
Li Can was not polite, took it and ate it in small bites.
After she finished eating, the carriage stopped and the Prince's Mansion arrived.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Princess Zhen came out and saluted.
"Princess Zhen, you're welcome." Zhao Ye put a cloak on Li Can and said calmly.
"Princess Princess." Li Can saluted Princess Zhen.
"Miss Seven." Princess Zhen raised her hand with a smile and called to them again: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
The two of them followed the pace of Princess Zhen as they walked inside.
"The princess." Li Can followed and asked, "How is the Duke's health? Are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just a flesh wound. I'm afraid there will be scars on the body." Princess Zhen spoke very gently and slowly: "He is feeling depressed. You came just in time to persuade him for me."
"Will he listen to our advice?" Li Can laughed.
Princess Zhen glanced sideways at her with a smile: "Yes."
Zhao Ye pursed his lips and said nothing.
The three of them quickly entered Zhao Minghui's house.
"Wei Che, look who's here?" Princess Zhen greeted Zhao Minghui with a smile.
Zhao Minghui was lying on the pillow, flipping through a book of Kanyu.
When he has nothing to do, he likes to look at maps.
Hearing his mother's voice, he couldn't help but raise his head and saw Li Can's bright and beautiful face.
His heart warmed up.
"You guys sit down, I'll prepare tea and snacks." Princess Zhen withdrew.
"Cancan." Zhao Minghui called out.
"Zhao Minghui." Li Can also called him with a smile.
Zhao Ye lowered his eyes and glanced at her lightly.
Li Can was startled for a moment and saluted Zhao Minghui: "I have met Lord Zhongguo."
"Your Highness, I don't need to salute Cancan, can you please stop asking him to be so different from me?
Hiss..." Zhao Minghui said dissatisfiedly, and couldn't help but move his body, and he suddenly gasped in pain.
"Don't move around." Li Can stepped forward subconsciously, stretched out his hand but didn't know how to help him: "You are afraid of leaving scars, so if you move around like this, the scars will only become deeper."
"Are you here to visit me, or are you here to scare me?" Zhao Minghui frowned, with sadness in his peach blossom eyes.
Li Can looked at him and smiled: "You can still talk so much. I don't think you are in much pain."
Zhao Ye frowned slightly when he saw her smiling broadly at Zhao Minghui.
Zhao Minghui's peach blossom eyes rolled slightly, then he reached for the water cup on the bedside table.
"Are you thirsty?"
As expected, Li Can stepped forward and gave him a water cup.
"It's not convenient for me to drink water like this." Zhao Minghui turned his face and looked at her with a smile: "Cancan, please help me call my mother to feed me."
"Don't bother me, I'll feed you." Li Can said, then picked up the spoon in the water cup and stirred it gently.
"Then I'll help you." The smile in Zhao Minghui's peach blossom eyes grew stronger, and he was very satisfied.
He glanced at Zhao Ye, with pride in his eyes, and he didn't believe that Zhao Ye could stop Li Can.
"I'll do it." Zhao Ye took the water cup from Li Can's hand and sat down at the head of the bed, blocking Zhao Minghui's gaze from looking at Li Can.
Li Can looked at him blankly.
"His Royal Highness is so noble and noble, how can I bear this?" Zhao Minghui reluctantly lowered his chin back to the pillow in front of him.
He wasn't thirsty at all, he just wanted to drink after Cancan fed him.
Even if what others feed him is nectar, he doesn’t want to taste it!
"You are injured. Regardless of our status, you and I are also brothers." Zhao Zong put a spoon of water to his lips.
Zhao Minghui had no choice but to open his mouth and drink.
Zhao Ye stopped talking and fed him one spoon after another.
Zhao Minghui drank the whole glass of water as if he was angry.
Li Can looked at this strange scene in front of him, and his inner feelings were beyond words.
Apart from her, who did Zhao Gao feed water?
And Zhao Minghui, he lowered his head and kept drinking water. Is he that thirsty?
These two people seem to be a little abnormal today.
Fortunately, Princess Zhen came in with her maids bringing tea and snacks, breaking the strange atmosphere in the room.
"Your Highness, Miss Seven, come and have some tea." She greeted with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Princess Concubine." Li Can turned around and walked over with a smile.
Only then did Zhao Ye stand up and put the water cup in his hand back on the bedside table.
The two sat down at the table.
Zhao Minghui looked at Li Can again, frowned and said, "Cancan, do you know of any good medicine for removing scars?"
"I don't know." Li Can turned to look at Zhao Ye: "By the way, brother Zeyu, where did the scar removal cream you used for me come from?"
"Well, it can only treat small scars." Zhao Zhi's expression did not change and his tone was calm: "It is useless for large wounds."
Zhao Minghui lamented: "What can I do? I have to live with this scar for the rest of my life..."
"This scar is on the lower back, and you can't see it yourself." Li Can remembered that Princess Zhenzhen asked her to persuade Zhao Minghui just now, and said, "Besides, you are a man, so it's okay to have scars."
"Cancan, don't you think the scar is ugly?" Zhao Minghui turned to look at her.
Zhao Xie, who was on the side, also raised his dark eyes and looked at her.
Li Can blinked his eyes, and in order to comfort Zhao Minghui, he had to say: "It's okay..."
As she spoke, she noticed that Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly darkened, and her mouth suddenly started to tighten.
"I'll go back and ask someone to find the ointment and bring it to me." Zhao Ye stood up and looked at Li Can.
Li Can stood up naturally.
Zhao Ye looked at Zhao Minghui and said: "There are still matters in the East Palace, we will stay soon.
You are well rested."
"His Royal Highness is busy with official duties, but Cancan is not busy. Mother, please leave Cancan at home for lunch." Zhao Minghui said to his mother-in-law.
Princess Zhen was about to speak.
Zhao Jie then said: "Mr. Zhongguo is injured and needs to rest, but there is no need for it."
Li Can nodded and looked at Zhao Minghui: "Take good care of yourself. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
As she said this, she was about to leave with Zhao Zhen.
"Your Highness, please stay." Zhao Minghui said, "I have something to say to His Highness alone."
Li Can looked around at the two of them.
Princess Zhen greeted her: "Miss Qi, let's go out first."
"Okay." Li Can obediently agreed, and followed Princess Zhen out of the house with a smile.
