The little girl's lips were soft and had a milky fragrance, mixed with a faint fragrance of wine, which made Qi Jue feel drunk even before she drank.
"award."
After saying these two words, Yan Mingzhu's cheeks turned as red as if they were burning. Without giving Qi Jue a chance to speak, she pulled the brocade quilt over her head, trying to cover up her pounding heartbeat at the moment.
Under the brocade quilt, a muffled voice came from: "I'm going to sleep, you... you should go and have a rest."
As he spoke, he gently stretched out a pink foot from under the quilt and kicked Qi Jue's leg.
After kicking him, he tried to retreat secretly, but Qi Jue, who had quick eyes and quick hands, caught his ankle.
"Answer this king's question, and I will go to rest."
Yan Mingzhu wanted to pull her foot back, but the man held on tightly, so she could only kick it twice angrily, "What's the problem?"
"The reward just now, can you give one reward every day in the future?"
The man's voice was filled with joy and teasing, which made Yan Mingzhu's whole body almost burn with shame and embarrassment.
I have never seen such a pushy person!
"No! No more! I'm going to sleep!"
He retracted his legs forcefully and wrapped himself into a worm to cover up his extremely shameful face at the moment.
Qi Jue laughed out loud, knowing that the little girl must be extremely ashamed, so he stopped.
"A bowl of steamed sugar cake and a reward. It's a good deal. Think about it carefully. I'm waiting for your reply."
What a bargain! She had already sacrificed all her shame to do it just now, and if she wanted to do it a second time, he couldn't even think about it!
Qi Jue pressed his hands on the brocade quilt, pressed her head with great precision, and rubbed it gently.
"I, the king, will leave immediately and stick your head out from under the quilt, otherwise you will be suffocated."
"you go first!"
Qi Jue chuckled lightly, but that was all. After all, his little girl was very thin-skinned in this regard, so he couldn't tease her too much. Otherwise, if he really made her angry, let alone give it to him as a reward.
All I got was a closed door.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, Yan Mingzhu lifted the brocade quilt, her cheeks were flushed, and her head was so hot that it was almost smoking.
But even though I felt that my behavior just now was very shameful, I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart.
No, no, she can't think about it any more, she needs to calm down!
Yan Mingzhu forced herself to calm down and took a few deep breaths. However, she was too tired after a whole day, so she fell into a deep sleep not long after.
It was almost a dreamless sleep all night, because there was no need to rush for time, so the next day, Yan Mingzhu waited for the sun to climb over the mountain before waking up slowly.
After waking up, she felt that her energy had been restored. After washing, she was not in a hurry to go out and went to the flower hall to have breakfast first.
But this morning, Yan Mingzhu did not see Qi Jue.
Uncle Wu saw her looking outside and immediately guessed what she was thinking. He said from the side: "Miss Yan, your Highness went to court early in the morning. Your Highness will be very busy these days because Concubine Zhuang's birthday is coming soon.
, everyone in the palace is busy preparing for the birthday banquet of the empress."
Concubine Zhuang is now Emperor Zhao's favorite concubine. Emperor Zhao will definitely organize a special birthday banquet for her, and Qi Jue, as his son, will naturally do his best.
When Yan Mingzhu heard the news that Concubine Zhuang was about to be born, she couldn't help but touch her chin and had a plan in mind.
The Tibetan Flower has been used, and the next treatment will use the Ten Directions Dragon Bones. According to the black market, these Ten Directions Dragon Bones were brought into the palace as tribute.
Normally, with her current status, she would not have the chance to enter the palace, but this time Concubine Zhuang held a birthday banquet, which was an excellent opportunity.
Since Qi Jue was also involved in the preparations for the birthday banquet, she could also take this opportunity to inquire about the banquet list.
I was planning in my mind when I heard Uncle Wu say: "By the way, Miss Yan, His Highness specifically told you that if you must go out today, you must have Mr. Kong diagnose your pulse. After Mr. Kong is the only one who confirms that you are indeed fine, you
Only then can I go out."
Yan Mingzhu twitched the corner of her mouth, Qi Jue acted like she was about to die, but she knew that the other person cared about her, so she didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, Kong Ci came to take her pulse.
Kong Ci took out a handkerchief and wanted to put it on her wrist, but was stopped by Yan Mingzhu: "Mr. Kong, don't bother. I am also a doctor and I don't care about these details. You just need to take the pulse."
Girls in the boudoir, especially those from aristocratic families, are the most pretentious and troublesome. Even if they are going to see a doctor, they must draw a curtain and hide behind the scenes. Don't look at anything inappropriate and cannot see outside men.
Even if you are taking a pulse, you have to avoid any skin contact with the doctor. There are even more pretentious cases where the doctor is asked to pull a silk thread around the wrist and take a suspended thread to take the pulse. In short, there are all kinds of weird things.
Kong Ci glanced at Yan Mingzhu and said, "Miss Yan is quite different from ordinary women."
"This world is inherently unfair to women, and in this situation, many women not only won't fight, but will put various shackles on themselves.
In fact, there has never been any hierarchy, and there is no such thing as male superiority and female inferiority. It is just because the vast majority of people agree with the current so-called order, and they are paralyzed and follow the trend, for fear that they will become different and be rejected by the majority of people."
Kong Ci raised his head and looked at her, looking more closely, "So, Miss Yan doesn't want to follow the crowd?"
"I am who I am, unique. Only I can decide what I want to do, and no one can control my thoughts."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Kong Ci felt that her eyes seemed to fill the entire world, so vast and sparkling that it was impossible to look away.
"I finally understand why Your Highness must choose you. I'm afraid I will never find another woman as unique as you in this world. It's an honor for His Highness to meet and get to know you.
Although His Highness is of noble birth,... he is too lonely on those peaks alone. I hope that the girl can accompany His Highness in the future so that he will not be so lonely again."
Yan Mingzhu did not expect that Kong Ci would say such solemn words to her, but this time, she did not avoid it.
"If his heart does not change, I will never leave him."
After making sure she was okay, Yan Mingzhu went out.
"master."
When Lin Sangzhi saw Yan Mingzhu, he was about to kneel down, but Yan Mingzhu stopped him first.
"I don't pay attention to these etiquette things. You don't need to be more polite in front of me in the future."
Lin Sangzhi has a straightforward personality. When he heard what Yan Mingzhu said, he immediately agreed obediently.
"What happened to your second cousin last night?"
Lin Sangzhi immediately replied: "Second Young Master had a fever last night. My subordinates used sweat towels dipped in water to cool him down. However, the temperature quickly subsided in about two hours."
Because yesterday Yan Mingzhu soaked Yuan Jinshen in ice water for a long time, even a normal person couldn't bear it, let alone Yuan Jinshen whose life was hanging by a thread.
Yan Mingzhu nodded and started the second round of treatment.
