Drunk Bamboo

After having dinner at Zhang's house, he practiced martial arts with Zhang Xinghe and Gu Suiyi, and returned to the palace late at night.

He first went to Bailianxuan to see the nanny. The nanny was already lying on the bed and was about to ask Baiguo to turn off the lights.

"It's good for the prince to be with his friends. It's so late, go back and rest. I'm fine, the prince doesn't need to come to see me."

"I can't accompany Madam all year round in the West Frontier. Now I'm in Zhongdu and I haven't seen Madam for several days. I just came to see her to put my mind at ease. Madam, go to sleep. I'll go back to Changfeng Courtyard."

It won't disturb the nanny's rest, he will feel at ease after seeing it.

When I arrived outside the gate of Changfeng Courtyard, I ran into Yunling, who was carrying hot meals.

"She didn't have dinner?"

Yun Ling explained, "In the evening, Gang Leader Liu sent two carts of flowers and plants. The princess was very happy when she saw them. She said that they were all extremely precious and rare species, transported from far away. Some were damaged on the way, so she was in a hurry to take care of the flowers and plants, which delayed her dinner time."

After hearing this, Hua Qinfeng strode into Changfeng Courtyard with a dark face.

The light in the study was on, and Hua Qinfeng went straight in.

Xie Yuzhu was staring at a purple eggplant in front of him in a daze.

This is a rare plant in Rao country. It grows in the dense forests along the eastern coast. It has lavender flowers and dark purple fruits. The fruits taste sweet and are deadly if eaten.

She had seen it in a medicine book, but there wasn't much information about it.

But as a botanist, she knew that this purple eggplant was belladonna, which has high medicinal value. It can cure night sweats and can also be used as an analgesic.

She needs to study it carefully.

The door was suddenly opened, she looked up and saw Hua Qinfeng.

"You're back." His brows relaxed and he smiled.

Hua Qinfeng glanced at the plant with purple flowers in front of her without smiling.

"I asked people to find these flowers and plants to make you happy. How come you even forgot to eat? You asked me to eat well, but you didn't remember it yourself."

"I am happy, so I am not hungry at all. These flowers and plants are not easy to collect and are very precious. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't arrange them first."

Xie Yuzhu held the purple eggplant and carefully placed it near the windowsill.

No one would touch the things she planted, and no one dared to touch them, for fear of poisoning.

"No matter how hard it is, no matter how precious it is, it is not as important as your body."

Hua Qinfeng, with a stern face, didn't last more than a few seconds. He lost his temper before Xie Yuzhu even noticed.

He took her hand and walked out of the study, washed her hands personally, and returned to the room where the food was already on the table.

"Sit down and eat."

Xie Yuzhu sat steadily in the chair.

Yun Ling wanted to reach out to scoop up some soup, but Hua Qinfeng took the spoon and said, "You go and have a rest. I'll do it."

Yun Ling put a smile on her face and closed the door gently.

He served the soup, checked its temperature, and made sure it was not scalding hot before handing it to her.

She looked at the four dishes on the table again, picked out two of her favorites, and put them into her bowl.

Careful, careful and serious.

Xie Yuzhu just stared at the man in front of her as he did these things.

This man was rough, careless and inconsiderate when they first met, but now he would do even such a small thing for her.

Moreover, he is so handsome.

"If you don't eat now, the food will get cold again."

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Hua Qinfeng frowned.

I had been keeping an eye on Ziqie and didn't notice his emotions.

Since coming back, he hasn't smiled or talked much.

I am angry.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to eat so late. I was really excited to see so many poisonous flowers and plants, and when I was excited, I didn't feel hungry. In fact, I'm not very hungry now, so it doesn't matter if I don't eat. If Yun Ling hadn't been urging me, I would have washed up and gone to bed in a while."

Xie Yuzhu realized that he was angry because she didn't have dinner, so she softened her voice, pulled at the corner of his clothes, and admitted her mistake obediently.

"You are too hungry. Drink the soup first."

Hua Qinfeng was not really angry with her. If he was in the mansion, how could he let her forget to have dinner?

Xie Yuzhu took a sip of soup and found that Hua Qinfeng was sitting there with his arms folded, watching her eat.

"Would you like to drink something, Your Majesty? I know Your Majesty won't eat after a certain time, so maybe some soup would be fine?"

Xie Yuzhu felt uncomfortable while being stared at while eating, so she was about to serve him some soup, but she found there were no extra empty bowls on the table.

"Okay, I'll break my vow today and drink a bowl of soup with you."

Hua Qinfeng reached out and picked up the bowl in front of her that she had just drunk and put it into his mouth.

He has drunk this soup countless times, and today's bowl tastes particularly fragrant.

Probably because Xie Yuzhu had drunk it.

While Xie Yuzhu was eating with her head down, Hua Qinfeng unconsciously pursed his lips.

"Well, Your Majesty, drink the soup and I'll eat the meat." As he said that, he picked up a piece of meat from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

"If you refuse to eat for the sake of flowers and plants again, I won't let anyone find food for you next time." Hua Qinfeng poured her more soup and placed it beside her, his tone doting but with a warning.

"I understand." After swallowing a large piece of meat, Xie Yuzhu nodded and said, "My appetite improved as I ate. I feel like I'm really hungry."

"It's evening, don't eat so much. Ask Baiguo to make you something tomorrow." Hua Qinfeng moved the meat dishes and moved the vegetables forward.

Xie Yuzhu smiled even more deeply and obediently picked up the vegetables.

Hua Qinfeng finally couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

"If you have eaten too much, Your Majesty, please accompany me for a walk in the yard to help digest the food. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, how about appreciating the moon under the flowers?" She winked at him.

Knowing that she was joking, Hua Qinfeng smiled.

"I'm away all day and can't even have dinner with you, Yuzhu, do you blame me?" His tone was apologetic.

"Your Highness has things to do, and I have things to do. If we like each other and become husband and wife, shouldn't we be each other's biggest supporters? Support each other, run a home together, and live happily together?"

She is considerate, but he...

He couldn't help but lower his eyes: "I said I would accompany you, but I didn't do it... I didn't tell you what I did."

Xie Yuzhu looked at him and asked seriously, "Did the prince go out to do something wrong?"

Hua Qinfeng shook his head: "No."

She asked, "Is the prince going out to have a good time?"

He shook his head violently: "Of course not!"

Then he asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to do what you like?"

He nodded slightly: "It's not so annoying now."

Xie Yuzhu said: "Since the prince is going to do what he likes, why should I blame him?"

The dark pupils suddenly dilated, Hua Qinfeng raised his head and saw a pair of phoenix eyes sparkling and dazzling.

"If the prince doesn't even have time for himself in order to accompany me, and can't do what he wants to do, and I become the one who restrains the prince's hands and feet, will the prince still like me? Will the prince still be willing to get married?"

"Of course I like you, there won't be anyone else!" Hua Qinfeng answered without hesitation.

His gaze was as firm as a mountain and as dazzling as fire. The fire was scorching, burning his chest, as if it wanted to engulf Xie Yuzhu's entire body.

She lowered her eyes and said, "If the prince didn't let me study medicine and write the Poisonous Herb Book, I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with him."

He nervously grabbed her hand, as if afraid that she would run away: "I won't stop you from doing what you like, and I won't stop you from doing anything, Yuzhu, will you always stay with me?"

Xie Yuzhu smiled and raised her eyes: "Am I not beside the prince?"

The warmth of his palm calmed Hua Qinfeng's heart.

He tightened his fingers and said, "Yes, you are by my side. You are the Princess of Wind, and you will be forever."
