Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

The princess directly handed the medicine to Concubine Xu, "Your Highness, drink the medicine while it's hot."

Concubine Xu had no choice but to accept it. "I feel a little nauseous and my stomach is bloated. I really can't drink it right now. Put it aside and drink it later."

"Is the Concubine Dowager afraid that the medicine is too bitter and is deliberately not taking it?" The princess directly exposed Concubine Xu's little trick.

"How is that possible?" Concubine Xu retorted awkwardly.

"Good medicine tastes bitter. I have prepared some candied fruits. Your Majesty, after you drink the medicine, you will feel better if you put a candied fruit in your mouth." The princess brought out the candied fruits again.

Concubine Xu was forced into a corner with no way out.

How can you not take medicine when you are sick?

Finally, he gritted his teeth and poured the bowl of medicine into his mouth!

The moment she swallowed it, it was so bitter that she rolled her eyes.

The princess smiled and handed over the candied fruit.

Concubine Xu quickly took it and put it into her mouth. Immediately, the wrinkles on her face deepened!

Why is this candied fruit not sweet but rather sour?

Bitterness and sourness met in her mouth, the taste was so uncomfortable!

"I'll feel relieved once Your Majesty has taken the medicine. I'll go back first and bring you more medicine in the evening." The princess took back the medicine bowl, stood up and left.

As soon as she left, Concubine Xu immediately spat out the candied fruit in her mouth.

"Sugar! Sugar!" She stretched out her hand to Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang quickly brought some candy.

Concubine Xu couldn't suppress the bitter taste in her mouth even though she was holding a piece of candy.

"Your Highness, the princess said she would come to deliver medicine in the evening. What if your illness doesn't get better and she keeps delivering medicine?" Nanny Wang said worriedly.

"Ugh!" Concubine Xu couldn't help it and vomited.

She didn't eat much to begin with, and this vomiting really upset Concubine Xu.

Only after all the acid that had been vomited into my stomach came out did I recover.

She lay listlessly on the chaise longue, with stars all before her eyes.

"Your Highness, this medicine probably contains Coptis chinensis," Nanny Wang guessed.

"How dare they give me Coptis chinensis!" Concubine Xu gnashed her teeth in anger, "I can't drink this medicine anymore. If I drink it again, I will get sick even if I'm not sick at all!"

"Madam Wang, please think of a solution. I can't say I'm fine now. Otherwise, how can I put my face aside? The servants in the palace are laughing at me behind my back!"

Nanny Wang looked troubled and could not think of any good solution after thinking for a long time.

"My Lady Dowager, I think the key point lies with Ji Chuhe. The princess gave the coptis root to Ji Chuhe to vent her anger. How about we send some food to Ji Chuhe?"

"You go and arrange it, but don't feed her too good a meal!"

"The servant knows."

……

Ji Chuhe was still copying Buddhist scriptures, and Mianzhu was sorting the copied papers aside.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside.

Nanny Wang came in with a little maid.

Ji Chuhe sat there without moving, just looking up at Nanny Wang.

Mianzhu saw the food box in the little maid's hand at a glance and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

The lady is truly amazing!

It wasn't even meal time yet they were served food.

"Greetings, Madam." Nanny Wang bowed and explained apologetically, "Madam, please don't blame me. I have been serving the Concubine Dowager. I didn't expect that the maids had such poor memory that they forgot that Madam was still copying Buddhist scriptures in the temple. No one brought food to her!"

"It's okay. Her Majesty the Dowager's health is the most important." Ji Chuhe responded with a faint smile.

"I'm glad that Madam doesn't blame me. Please enjoy your meal." Nanny Wang put down the food box and yelled at the maid behind her in a pretentious manner, "If you forget to bring food to the Crown Prince's wife again, you'll have to watch out for it!"

"I know I was wrong." The little maid responded in panic.

Ji Chuhe watched Nanny Wang's performance calmly.

Nanny Wang was embarrassed by Ji Chuhe's gaze and said quickly, "I will take my leave first."

As soon as she left, Mianzhu immediately opened the lunch box.

"Great, finally there's something to eat! What...what is this!"

The smile was only fleeting on her face.

Ji Chuhe took a look.

There were two steamed buns and a plate of vegetables in the food box.

She picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Mianzhu, "Eat it. You shouldn't eat meat in this Buddhist temple."

Mianzhu broke it in half, put the other half back, and took small bites of the bun in his hand.

"What is this doing?"

"Half is enough for me, and I'll keep the other half."

Mianzhu was reserved for the young lady, what if there was no food at night? She was thick-skinned and could go hungry for a few meals.

"There's more in the evening, so feel free to eat it." Ji Chuhe picked up the half bun and stuffed it into Mianzhu's hand.

Only then did Mianzhu start eating with peace of mind.

Just as Ji Chuhe said, when it was time for dinner, the little maid came with food boxes to bring them food.

This time there were two vegetarian buns, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of vegetarian vegetables.

Better than noon.

In addition to sending food, they also sent a thicker quilt.

"Miss, you can sleep a little softer tonight."

"Well, go make the bed. Let's get some rest early tonight."

"Yes."

……

Concubine Xu looked at the delicious food on the table and had no appetite at all.

"Your Highness, you should eat a little. You don't eat much all day. You will starve yourself." Nanny Wang advised in a low voice.

"After taking that bowl of medicine, I won't be able to eat today, and I won't have any appetite tomorrow!"

"Greetings, Princess." A sound of greeting suddenly came from outside.

A trace of panic suddenly flashed in Concubine Xu's eyes.

"Why is she here again? Didn't I ask someone to bring food to Ji Chuhe?"

Nanny Wang doesn’t know the reason either.

Logically speaking, the princess would not do such a thing.

Could it be that this time he is going to break off relations with the Concubine Dowager and get serious about it?

The princess came in with a smile on her face, "My Lady Princess, I'm here to bring you medicine."

Concubine Xu suddenly became as stiff as a sculpture.

The princess brought out the medicine bowl and placed it in front of Concubine Xu, "My Lady Concubine, drink it while it's hot."

"Princess, I feel much better! This medicine is very effective! You don't need to take it anymore." Concubine Xu racked her brains to avoid the bowl of medicine.

"Absolutely not. The condition has just improved. We cannot stop taking the medicine. What if the condition relapses after we stop?" The princess immediately shook her head, her tone unquestionable.

"No! I know my own body very well!" Concubine Xu struggled desperately.

"Your Highness is afraid of taking medicine, I understand. When I was a child, I was also afraid of the bitterness and refused to take medicine, but my mother always poured it directly into my mouth." The princess smiled faintly at the dowager.

Concubine Xu felt conflicted.

Does the princess really dare to force her to take medicine?

The princess picked up the medicine bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and smiled kindly.

Concubine Xu couldn't help but tremble. She reached out to take the bowl of medicine and said, "I will drink it myself."

Suddenly, her hand twisted and all the medicine spilled out.

"Oops! I didn't hold the medicine firmly and it all spilled!"
