You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoyue looked up at him.

Perhaps to make it easier to read the prescription, he bent down slightly and got closer to her.

Unlike the ambergris on Xiao Yan's body, he only had a faint scent of cedar on his body.

Lin Zhaoyue pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for him to sit down.

"Miss, this is against the rules."

Lin Zhaoyue: ...Do you really think of yourself as a servant of the Lin family?

"You are not from the Lin Mansion, so you don't have to abide by the rules of the Lin Mansion."

Chu Bai brought the ginger soup and sat down opposite her obediently.

"You recognize this prescription."

"I've seen it in some filthy places."

This medicine is neither good nor poison.

It can neither kill people by drinking nor by poison, but it can make people look weak and emit a strange fragrance. On the surface, it is a tonic, and some people use it to preserve their pets.

Lin Zhaoyue said "oh" and was a little disappointed.

He thought she knew medicine.

It turns out I've only seen it before.

But think about it, he was sold all the way, so how could he study medicine?

She had seen Liu Yiyi's prescriptions several times in her previous life, but she didn't understand medical principles and didn't know the tricks involved.

It was not until she was banished to the cold palace that she realized her heart illness was fake.

"Miss, there is actually a complete version of this prescription."

"Ok?"

"We are still missing a lust-receiving herb. This prescription plus lust-receiving herb is a forbidden drug. I heard that even a loyal and brave person will turn into a slut after drinking it. She needs to have sex with a man to relieve the pain."

Some perverted customers like to feed this drug to pedophiles.

Do you need to have sex with a man to solve the problem?

Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up slightly.

Xiao Yan would never let his beloved find another man, so he would definitely do it himself...

"Miss, do you want this medicine?"

He could help her if she wanted.

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head:

"I was just curious. How did you get here?"

"I heard Chunhe say that the young lady doesn't like bitter taste. I thought that since she drank medicine three times today, her mouth should be bitter now, so I made pear soup for her."

As he spoke, Chu Bai used his hand to test the temperature of the soup; it was warm, just right.

"Miss, it's time to drink."

As he spoke, the pair of hands, which were thinner and whiter than a woman's, gently lifted the lid.

The mist filled the air, and the androgynous face looked even more enchanting.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

When seeing a beautiful woman on the street, Lin Zhaoyue would always stare at her twice, let alone the one in front of her...

Lin Zhaoyue looked a little dazed.

Chu Bai seemed not to feel her gaze. He lowered his brows just right and served her soup. He looked well-behaved and charming.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know why she used the word "charming" to describe the man, but he was indeed charming.

"Drink it, miss."

Chu Bai handed over the bowl of soup in his hand.

"Ah... oh."

Although Chu Bai didn't expose it, Lin Zhaoyue still felt a little embarrassed.

She took the clear pear soup from his hand, lowered her head and drank it in small sips.

Looking at the girl's appearance, the man's thin red lips curled up slightly.

Chu Bai knew that he had a good appearance. He used to hate the way others looked at him. The greed in their eyes made him feel sick.

But when Lin Zhaoyue looked at him just now, he didn't dislike her. He even felt a little disappointed because there was no more greed in her eyes.

When she looked at him, she was just admiring his looks, not because of any romantic desire.

After drinking the soup, Lin Zhaoyue sorted out her emotions and said:

"It's getting late, you should go."

"Yes, Miss..."

……

When Lin Zhaoyue woke up the next day, she heard two pieces of news: one was that Qingzhu had recovered, and the other was that Xiao Yan came to see her again.

At this moment, I am drinking tea with my father in the front hall.

Qingzhu is combing her hair:

"What hairstyle do you want, miss?"

In the past, every time the young lady saw the prince, she would pay special attention to dressing up, saying that she wanted to show her best side to the prince.

"Just a simple comb will do."

"it is good."

Qingzhu picked up the comb and combed her hair.

Lin Zhaoyue saw that there was a strand of hair on Qingzhu's temple that had not been combed, so she reached out to wipe it away.

I accidentally touched Qingzhu's hand and was startled by the coolness of her body.

Like a block of ice.

Lin Zhaoyue turned around and looked at her:

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Qingzhu lowered his eyes and said:

"Qingzhu has had a cold body since childhood. He has been ill these past few days, so his body is a little colder than usual."

"It is said that people with cold constitutions will experience more pain during menstruation than others. I will ask the court doctor to prescribe some blood-boosting medicine for you later."

"Thank you, miss."

"You're welcome. Give me your hand and I'll warm it for you."

Qingzhu stretched out her hand and saw her young lady wrapping her hand with her tender and white hands until her hands were warm.

Qingzhu's nose suddenly felt sour:

"Miss, why are you so nice to Qingzhu?"

"We grew up together, and I have long regarded you as my sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

In her previous life, Qingzhu protected her until her death!

How could she not be nice to her?

As she spoke, she seemed to have discovered something interesting and grabbed her hand to play with it.

"Qingzhu, I noticed that the calluses on your hands are the same as the ones I got from practicing swordplay!"

Qingzhu's eyelashes trembled, and then she burst into laughter:

"Miss, whether you are practicing swordplay or working, aren't you using all five fingers? Can the calluses that grow be different?"

"Too."

As he spoke, he remembered something, opened the drawer, and took out an exquisite small box.

"This is the hairpin I bought for you. I spent a long time choosing it. See if you like it."

Qingzhu opened the box, and inside lay a white jade hairpin quietly, carved into the shape of a bamboo, with a light green flower pendant.

The texture is delicate and crystal clear.

You can tell it's worth a lot just by looking at it.

"Miss, this is too valuable, Qingzhu cannot accept it."

"It's given by the young lady, so I have to accept it. Besides, this is the coming-of-age gift the young lady gave you."

"Coming of Age Ceremony? How would Miss know?"

"I remember your birthday. When Qingzhu grows up, if she meets her ideal husband, Miss will prepare a dowry for you and marry you off in style."

As soon as Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, Chunhe walked in with a bowl of longevity noodles.

"Miss, the noodles are ready."

There were four servants following behind, each holding two plates of food.

Qingzhu looked at what Lin Zhaoyue had prepared for her, her eyes felt sore and she couldn't help but cry.

"Miss."

"Young lady is here, don't cry, it's a great day, let's go and have dinner. Young lady specially asked the cook to make Qingzhu's favorite dishes today."

Lin Zhaoyue pulled Qingzhu to sit at the table.

Chun He was placing the dishes and remembered meeting Chu Bai in the kitchen. She said casually:

"Miss, should we ask Chu Bai to come and eat with us?"

Lin Zhaoyue paused and said:

"Let's ask him to come over. It will be more fun with more people..."

……

As soon as Xiao Yan walked outside Lin Zhaoyue's yard, he heard the noisy sounds in the house.

Duke Lin was a military commander and did not have a strong concept of hierarchy. Those maids had grown up with Zhao Zhao and were as close as sisters to her. Duke Lin would never say anything if they occasionally had a meal together.

But the prince is here today.

Duke Lin winked at the servant behind him, and the servant immediately went around the front door and entered Lin Zhaoyue's yard from the back door:

"Second Miss, the prince is here."
