Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

"Bear with it." Gu Ahua was urgently pulled back from the Imperial Hospital by Wen Jiu.

She didn't have much feeling towards Wen Jiu. She was not as persistent as Lan Sheng in believing that Wen Jiu was hiding his incompetence, nor was she as miserable as Wu Han who was even worse than Wen Jiu.

When Lan Sheng wanted to organize these protons to unite as one, she actually didn't want to get involved.

To be honest, although she was not as free as Lan Sheng in Zhou Kingdom, she was living a good life. Zhou Kingdom needed her medical skills and the rare herbs shipped from southern Xinjiang.

After she was reluctant to get involved, she realized that she really shouldn't have gotten involved because it was boring.

Although it was only two hours, she had heard the news of Qiao Shinian's disappearance. Seeing Wen Jiu making such a big fuss, she was a little surprised.

Although the Zhou royal family treated him coldly and although he made a lot of noise, Qiao Shinian was just a maid after all and had no right to make the Zhou royal family take any action for her.

Qiao Shinian lay calmly on the bed and asked, "Do you have any Ma Fei San or something like that?"

Gu Ah Hua kept on asking, "What is that?"

"Oh, it seems there is no more." Qiao Shinian's calm tone was filled with a hint of regret, "Wen Jiu, give me the painkillers."

Wen Jiu had been standing aside waiting with a jar and warm water in his hand. Upon hearing Qiao Shinian's words, he immediately stepped forward with the medicine.

"Two."

Gu Ahua stepped aside and watched Wen Jiu give the medicine to Qiao Shinian. Before she could see clearly, Qiao Shinian had already swallowed it.

After Wen Jiu moved aside, Gu Ahua stepped forward and completely pulled off the cloth strip that was wrapped around her hand.

Qiao Shinian's arm looked somewhat shocking and terrifying.

"Be careful not to bite your tongue. I'm going to apply medicine on you." After cleaning Qiao Shinian's wound, looking at the flowing blood, Gu Ahua took out a porcelain bottle and shook out medicine powder on Qiao Shinian's wound.

A burst of piercing pain made Qiao Shinian's face turn a few shades paler. She tried her best to suppress the urge to clench her fists and breathed hard.

Looking at the simple bed curtain set up above my head, it is to prevent mosquitoes. Summer is coming, so I need to set up the frame and put the bed curtain on it in advance.

She originally wanted to use medicine to fumigate the insects, but after doing all the math, she found that it was more cost-effective than using bed curtains. The bed curtains could be put away after use and used again next year, while medicine was a disposable consumable.

There are a lot of crops in the yard, which attract a lot of mosquitoes. She is still thinking about how to repel insects from the vegetables.

She didn’t know when she could eat potatoes. She wanted to eat French fries. It was a pity that there was no Coke in this era.

The pain stimulated her brain nerves. She looked at Gu Ahua's gentle movements and asked, "If you were not the daughter of the clan leader, what would you want to do?"

"If I wasn't the clan leader's daughter, I would have found someone to marry in a hurry!"

"If, girls in this world didn't have to get married early, didn't have to rely on men, and could do whatever they wanted, what would you want to do?" Qiao Shinian slightly turned his head to look at the young Gu Ahua.

"I don't know. I studied medicine for my sister. My sister's poison is very powerful and people are always killed. We are often short of people who can test the poison, but we can't do anything rash, so my sister has to poison and I have to detoxify, so that people won't die so often." Gu Ahua shrugged, looking calm.

Qiao Shinian didn't say anything, just responded muffledly.

·

A dozen days was enough for the wound to scab over. This was the second serious injury Qiao Shinian had suffered since he came here. The first time was when he and Wen Jiu were fleeing together and got a deep cut on his leg.

She followed Nanny Li and walked towards Concubine Liu's Hundred Flowers Hall.

Qiao Shinian did not say much about this matter, and Wen Jiu did not show any unusual anger. Both of them remained silent, as if this matter had never happened and as if they were used to it.

Wen Jiu would work harder when training alone, and there would be a hint of inexplicable meaning when he looked at Chunxue. After finding Qiao Shinian, he did not blame Chunxue for his poor protection, and he did not even say harsh words to Chunxue.

Qiao Shinian was still the same as before, laughing heartlessly, but he was a little more distant towards Chunxue.

"Miss, we're here." Nanny Li paused at the palace gate and turned to Qiao Shinian and said, "Do you still remember the rules that I just told you?"

Qiao Shinian nodded, "I remember."

"Okay, let's go in then." He raised his leg and stepped over the threshold and said to Concubine Liu who was admiring the flowers in the yard, "Your Majesty, Miss Qiao is here."

Concubine Liu looked up at Qiao Shinian who was lowering his head, and greeted him warmly, "Come quickly, it's really not easy to ask you to teach the dancers. Today I can finally listen to the song you sang that day again."

Qiao Shinian walked over and bowed, "I am honored to meet the Imperial Concubine. It is my honor to be liked by the Imperial Concubine. However, I have not been feeling well in the past two days, so I dare not lose my manners in front of the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Liu narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "There is some unhappiness between your prince and my Fu Yue. I understand that he doesn't want you to come here. Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. It's reasonable for him to be afraid that I am secretly torturing you."

“Your Highness, what are you saying? The Thirteenth Prince is still a young man who values ​​his reputation. He was a little angry after being humiliated by Princess Yu’an a few times. However, he feels close to Princess Yu’an and thinks that she is like a fairy.

Having lost face in front of Princess Yu'an, he started to act like a young man.

My prince respects you. He said he has never seen anyone as kind and beautiful as you. When he saw your love for Princess Yu'an, he couldn't help but think of his deceased mother. He said his mother loved him as well.

Qiao Shinian bent his waist slightly, lowered his head, and spoke with respect and flattery in his tone.

"Look at this little mouth, it's so talkative." Concubine Liu walked up to Qiao Shinian, lifted her chin, and smiled.

Qiao Shinian lowered his eyes, as if he really respected the imperial concubine. The tense scene between the imperial concubine and Wen Jiu seemed to have never happened before.

"Come here, all of you." The imperial concubine looked at the dancers standing in a row not far away.

"From today on, until you learn the dance, you must obey her." After saying that, he walked to the entrance of the hall and lay down on the chaise longue that had been brought out at some point. "Let's get started."

Qiao Shinian bowed to the imperial concubine again and walked over to the dancers. "You are all dancers and you all have basic skills, so we won't dance yet. Let's practice our breathing, pronunciation, and intonation first. After half a month, we can sing while dancing."

He took a deep breath and then continued, "I will sing it once a day. It's up to you whether you can remember it or not. Of course, you can write down the lyrics with a pen while I sing."

The six dancers looked at each other but did not move.

Who would bring paper and pen when coming to the imperial concubine's place?

Qiao Shinian also noticed their expressions. He sighed softly and took out the lyrics that Wen Jiu had copied and gave them to them, "You can all read, right?"

"Yes." Several people nodded. As dancers of the royal family, they also had some knowledge of calligraphy and painting. Many of them were once daughters of officials, but they were not allowed to enter the music industry because their families were convicted of crimes.

Qiao Shinian nodded and said no more. After he was ready, he started singing.
