Drunk Bamboo

"How about it? Xie Yuzhu likes clothes with light colors. Is this okay?"

Hua Qinfeng changed his dark coat into a white gown with dark patterns, and even changed his shoes to the same color.

His original clothes were mostly dark-colored. Ever since Xie Yuzhu entered the mansion, he would unconsciously choose some light-colored fabrics whenever Bai Guo asked him to pick clothes.

Now his wardrobe no longer consists only of dark-colored clothes.

Chaoyang gave a thumbs up: "As a man, I also want to say that you are handsome."

Hua Qinfeng looked at him suspiciously and said, "Your taste is not good. You have to make Xie Yuzhu like it."

Chaoyang didn't argue with him and encouraged him: "Your Majesty, show your courage and bravery in killing the enemy. If you smile more, you will be more charming than King Wen!"

Hua Qinfeng tried to pull the corners of his mouth, but it felt too fake, so he decided to be more natural.

In the study, Qi Zhen saw many hard-to-find medical books and was very excited as if he had found a treasure.

"'A Thousand-dollar Medicine'! There's also 'Shang Han Jing' and even 'Golden Mirror of Herbal Medicine'. These are all rare ancient books! How did the princess collect them?"

Xie Yuzhu said generously: "Baiyun Academy has a large library. When I have nothing to do, I read and copy down the books. Over time, I have these. Some of them were given by my family members when I got married, and some I haven't read yet. The second and third shelves are all medical books, and this box is also full of them. You can read as you like. If you like them, you can take them home and study them slowly."

With an excited look on his face, he asked in disbelief, "Can I really borrow these to take home? These are extremely valuable."

Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "These medical books are truly valuable only when they are in your hands. They are meaningful only when they can help more people."

Holding the medical book was like holding a precious treasure: "I will protect it carefully and send it back after copying it."

Seeing how careful he was, Xie Yuzhu kindly said, "Okay, don't worry. I've read all the books on the shelf. If you have any rare copies you like, I'll give you a few."

She has it all memorized anyway.

"I, how can I take it? I will be satisfied if I just copy one." He was very satisfied just looking at the room full of medical books.

"Can you teach me how to take a pulse now? Do you think I am taking a pulse in the right position?" Xie Yuzhu returned to his topic.

She wanted to learn medicine, but she didn't know who to learn from.

Qi Zhen is here today. How can I let go of the teacher who is right in front of me?

He pulled Qi Zhen over, asked him to sit on a chair, and took his pulse.

"Princess..." Qi Zhen felt a little embarrassed as men and women should not touch each other.

"There is no gender for doctors. The book says that the Cunkou is located at the starting point of the radial artery behind both wrists, and it is divided into three parts: Cun, Guan, and Chi." Xie Yuzhu naturally put his hand on his pulse, without any distractions, and did what the book said carefully and seriously.

This also made Qi Zhen put aside the random thoughts in his mind.

"What the princess said is correct, and the location is also correct. The high bone behind the palm is the Guan, the part before the Guan is the Cun, and the part after the Guan is the Chi. There is a distinction between left and right, representing the five internal organs of the human body. By observing the rise and fall of the pulse, we can diagnose what is wrong with the body and where in the five internal organs there is pain."

Xie Yuzhu took the pulse calmly, thought for a while, and said: "Your pulse is neither floating nor sinking, it is gentle and strong, you are in good health."

Qi Zhen's eyes were filled with surprise, and she said, "The princess's diagnosis is correct. As long as you calm down and feel carefully, you can diagnose the differences in each person's pulse."

"So my pulse is much weaker... Let me feel your pulse again."

Xie Yuzhu checked his own pulse again, and then compared it with Qi Zhen's pulse. Only through actual operation and experience could he integrate the knowledge in the book with reality.

Her hand was about to put on Qi Zhen's wrist again.

At this time, the door of the study opened and a tall figure slowly walked in.

"Yuzhu, since you want to take my pulse, why don't you call me?"

"You are……"

Qi Zhen looked at the handsome man who seemed strange yet familiar, and didn't know how to address him.

Xie Yuzhu was stunned.

Is this Huaqin style? !

Huaqin style without beard? !

Hua Qinfeng was very satisfied with her expression at the moment.

With a smile on his face, he said in a cheerful voice: "Xie Yuzhu, I will never prick you again."

Qi Zhen finally recognized him as Hua Qinfeng and knelt down to pay his respects: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Hua Qinfeng stopped laughing and said, "Doctor Qi is not staying in the palace, what are you doing in Prince Feng's mansion?"

"I am here to apologize. I also admire the princess' medical skills very much, so I came to borrow the medical book."

His tone was threatening: "I've apologized and borrowed the book, do you still want me to stay for dinner?"

Qi Zhen has always been afraid of Hua Qinfeng. Even though he has a handsome face now, his words are still chilling.

He hurriedly shook his head and said tactfully, "No, no, I have something else to do at home, so I won't bother you, my lord, or your princess."

He said coldly: "Then I won't send you off."

Qi Zhen held the book in his arms, glanced at Xie Yuzhu, did not dare to look at Hua Qinfeng, and immediately retreated.

Only Xie Yuzhu and Hua Qinfeng were left in the room.

Xie Yuzhu blinked and said blankly: "You...your beard is gone?"

Hua Qinfeng grinned: "Didn't you say it would prick people?"

Then she pointed at his snow-white clothes and said, "You... weren't you wearing this shirt just now?"

"I was sweating all over from practicing martial arts, so I changed into another one."

"You...you really didn't exaggerate..."

He looked sideways at her in confusion: "What do you mean by exaggeration?"

Xie Yuzhu suddenly realized, and her eyebrows raised: "You are really a pretty boy!"

"Giocoholic?!" The corners of his mouth twitched.

But the next second, when Xie Yuzhu said:

"Hua Qinfeng, you look so beautiful like this!"

The corners of his mouth raised proudly:

"Hey...how beautiful is it?"

Xie Yuzhu stood up and walked around Hua Qinfeng, his eyes sparkling, boasting without any disguising: "He is tall and graceful, with a face like Pan An, so handsome!"

He is tall, muscular, with clean skin, three-dimensional facial features, and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

She has a good figure and good looks.

It was the first time he heard someone praise him so bluntly. He felt a little embarrassed: "It's... not that exaggerated."

"You have buried your beauty over the years. If you walk down the street like this, who would have thought you were the King of Wind? Who would say you look like a living devil? Who would say you have a waist that is ten times bigger than yours? Who would tremble all over when they see you?"

Living devil?

Waist size ten circumferences?

Shivering all over?

Is this how Xie Yuzhu sees herself?

Hua Qinfeng couldn't help but frown.

Xie Yuzhu suddenly realized something and looked around: "Where is Qi Zhen? Why did he leave? I still have a lot of questions to ask him?!"

Seeing that she was about to go out, Hua Qinfeng hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Xie Yuzhu, where are you going?"

Xie Yuzhu said anxiously: "He shouldn't have gone far, I'll chase him back!"

"Didn't you say I was pretty?" He looked aggrieved.

"What does the prince's good looks have to do with Qi Zhen? What does it have to do with me studying medicine with him?" he asked curiously.

"I..." Hua Qinfeng hesitated to speak.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I have to catch up with Qi Zhen." Pushing his hand away, Xie Yuzhu ran straight towards the gate without looking back.

He withdrew his empty hand, a look of loss on his face.

"I...I shaved my beard just for you and put on plain clothes. You also said I looked good, so why didn't you even look at me more?"

Hua Qinfeng returned to the martial arts training ground angrily again.

Chaoyang asked with a smile: "My Lord, did the princess praise you when she saw you?"

"Draw out the sword!"

What greeted him was a sharp sword.

The smile disappeared, and Chaoyang became worried again: "Prince! What's wrong with you?!"

At this time, Lao Liu came to report:

"Your Majesty, there is news from the palace that the fourth Miss Xiao has been granted the title of Prince Wen's concubine and will marry into Prince Wen's mansion together with Miss Luo on April 28th."
