My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

When Liu Yunniang woke up today, she felt weak all over and had no strength to move.

She only felt her head was extremely dizzy, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on it. The scene in front of her eyes was also blurry. All she could hear was the sound of the river water hitting the hull outside the ship and the faint sound of the wind.

"Water... water..." Her voice was as weak as a mosquito, and her cracked lips trembled slightly.

At this moment, she was eager to have a sip of cool water to moisten her throat that seemed to be burning.

Ye Xiaoxiao was sleeping in a daze, and she seemed to hear her mother's voice. With sleepy eyes, one of her little hands tightly grasped a corner of the quilt, and the other hand rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Mother..." The voice was soft and cute.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao...water..."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard her mother's voice, she turned around and found that her mother seemed to be not quite right. Her face was pale and her lips were cracked. She quickly sat up and stretched out her chubby little hand to touch her mother's forehead.

Ok?

The temperature is wrong!

"Mom, you have a fever. Wait for me. I'll get you some water."

The little girl climbed down from the bed nimbly and staggered towards the table. She stood on tiptoe and successfully got the teapot, carefully poured a cup of water, held it in both hands, and walked towards the bed.

Liu Yunniang was lying on the bed, her consciousness blurred, her heart full of worry and helplessness.

"Mom, drink some water." Ye Xiaoxiao's voice trembled a little.

Liu Yunniang opened her eyes with great effort, looked at her daughter, and said weakly: "Xiaoxiao is great. You can help take care of your mother. You are still young. Go and ask your sister Chunxi to come over, okay?"

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head, her eyes full of stubbornness: "Mom, I can take care of you, drink it quickly, you will get better after drinking it."

Liu Yunniang tilted her head back slightly, took a sip, coughed a few times and said, "Xiaoxiao is so good. Mother is much better now."

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned. This was ancient times. If you were sick, you had to consult a doctor, but there were no readily available medicines.

But they are on the boat now and cannot reach the shore for the time being, and their mother's illness cannot be treated forever. It would be great if there were common medicines like those in modern times.

Suddenly, Ye Xiaoxiao's mind turned and she thought of the mysterious space she owned.

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up and hope ignited in her heart.

"Yes, how could I forget that there is still space? Maybe it can help mother get better quickly." She muttered softly.

Ye Xiaoxiao turned her head, looked at her mother's pale face, and said firmly: "Mom, Xiaoxiao has a way to make you get better soon."

Liu Yunniang opened her eyes with great effort and looked at her daughter in confusion: "Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Xiaoxiao leaned close to her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, have you forgotten that Xiaoxiao has a treasure space? There are healing hot springs and mysterious pills in the space. There must be a way to cure you there."

Liu Yunniang had also seen the magic of that space, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Her eyes showed a little more expectation, and she said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go quickly."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, her little hand tightly holding her mother's hand, and the other hand tightly grasping the jade pendant on her chest. With a thought in her mind, the mother and daughter instantly entered the space.

As soon as she entered the space, Liu Yunniang felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and the fresh air around her seemed to carry healing power.

Ye Xiaoxiao took her mother straight to the hot spring, where the water was steaming hot and exuded a faint herbal aroma. The water was crystal clear, the stones at the bottom of the pool were round and smooth, and a few small fish could be seen swimming happily.

"Mom, please go down and take a bath." Ye Xiaoxiao urged.

Liu Yunniang slowly stepped into the hot spring. The warm water immediately surrounded her, making her unable to help but hum softly.

Ye Xiaoxiao watched for a while, and seeing that her mother's strength had recovered a lot, she said, "Mom, can you stay here for a while? I need to get you some pills, can you do it yourself?"

Liu Yunniang looked at Ye Xiaoxiao's worried eyes and felt extremely warm in her heart, yet a little distressed. Her little daughter was taking care of her like a little adult at this moment.

"Go ahead, it's okay, don't worry mom. Be careful and don't worry."

Ye Xiaoxiao took her short legs and trotted all the way to Linlang Pavilion not far away, heading straight to the innermost place where the pills were stored.

Arriving at the cabinet, Ye Xiaoxiao anxiously opened the drawers one by one, carefully searching for pills for treating colds.

"Qingfeng Mingmu Pills... No. Ningzhi Yufu Pills... No. Anshen Yangxin Pills... No. Jingu Shuhuo Pills... No. Um... Xinzhi Tonghui Pills... No. Quhan Qingling Pills..." She kept repeating the names of the pills.

"Quhan Qingling Pills, effect: can quickly dispel the cold in the body and relieve fever..."

Finally, in a corner, she found an exquisite little porcelain bottle with the words "Quhan Qingling Pills" written on it.

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Found it!"

She held the small porcelain bottle in both hands and ran back carefully. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, and as she ran, the beads of sweat rolled down one by one.

Ye Xiaoxiao ran back to the hot spring, handed the pill to her mother, and said, "Mom, take this pill quickly, you will definitely get better."

Liu Yunniang was moved by her daughter's understanding. She opened her mouth slightly and took the pill into her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth, and a cool feeling spread through her throat to her whole body, as if a clear spring was flowing through her body. Wherever it went, fatigue and discomfort gradually dissipated.

After soaking for a while, Liu Yunniang felt that her body gradually regained strength and her spirits became much better. Her originally pale cheeks turned red, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

She reached out and touched her daughter's hair, which was wet from running, and said distressedly, "Xiaoxiao, you've worked so hard!"

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "As long as mother can get better, everything is fine." Her eyes were bright and full of joy.

The mother and daughter stayed in the space for a while longer, and Liu Yunniang's illness had almost healed. At this time, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the surface of the hot spring, sparkling and dreamlike.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go out." Liu Yunniang was a little worried. If Chunxi came in during this time and didn't see them, she would definitely be worried.

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded obediently. She really couldn't stay in the space for a long time, but it didn't matter. She could bring her mother here in the evening.

After making up her mind, Ye Xiaoxiao concentrated her attention, holding the jade pendant tightly in her little hand, and the mother and daughter left the space.

As soon as the mother and daughter came out of the space, they heard Chunxi's voice outside the door, "Miss, are you awake? Miss."

Liu Yunniang leaned on the bed while Ye Xiaoxiao sat beside her. The mother and daughter looked at each other and felt that they had come back just in time.

"come in."

Chunxi entered the house carrying toiletries with her usual smile on her face, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

Liu Yunniang coughed lightly, her voice slightly weak: "Chunxi, pour me a cup of tea first."

Chunxi turned around and walked closer with a teacup, only to find that Liu Yunniang looked a little tired.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Chunxi asked with concern.

Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Sister Chunxi, mother had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."

Chunxi guessed that the young lady must have thought of her unfaithful son-in-law and was so sad that she couldn't sleep well, and secretly cursed Ye Wenbo in her heart.

"That heartless son-in-law has really caused the lady so much trouble." His face was full of indignation.

Chunxi bit her lip, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

Liu Yunniang noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "Chunxi, what's wrong with you?"

Chunxi was startled, and quickly restrained her expression, lowered her head and said: "Miss, it's nothing, I just thought of that unfaithful son-in-law, and I felt sorry for you."

"Ahem... ahem... you misunderstood. It wasn't because of him. I just had some other dream."

Chunxi felt very distressed when he thought that the young lady was still comforting him. He did not dare to scold that person anymore. He quickly handed the teacup to Liu Yunniang and said, "Young lady, you must have a good rest. You can have something first. If you still want to sleep, lie down. Otherwise, I will make you some soothing soup."

Liu Yunniang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll be fine after sleeping for a while."

Chunxi was still worried, and looked at Liu Yunniang carefully again, and said, "Miss, please don't hold on. If you feel unwell, you must tell me. Although there is no doctor on this ship, we still have some commonly used medicines. You must not neglect your health just because you find it troublesome." Chunxi's face was full of anxiety, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.

Liu Yunniang nodded and said, "Chunxi, you are thoughtful."

Chunxi then began to pack Ye Xiaoxiao's toiletries, muttering, "The young lady looks pretty energetic today."

Ye Xiaoxiao giggled: "Sister Chunxi, I slept so well last night."

After Chunxi finished cleaning up, she smiled and said, "Young lady, which day did you not sleep well or eat well?"

This sentence made Liu Yunniang laugh as well.

When Ye Xiaoxiao saw that her mother was laughing at her, she pouted angrily.

Humph, bad Chunxi, you are laughing at me.

Looking at her little lady's pouty appearance, Chunxi thought she was so cute. She had seen other children before, but had never seen one as well-behaved and sensible as her little lady. It was rare for her to show her childishness, so she especially liked to tease her.

"Okay, my dear lady, we have your favorite golden pancakes this morning. Are you sure you want to stay here and not get up?"

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard about the delicious food, she couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't care that she was still angry. She got out of bed and sat down at the table. "Sister Chunxi, I'm ready. I want to eat golden pancakes."

The golden pancake is usually made of white flour, corn and eggs. It is golden in color, just like a rising sun, emitting an attractive luster. The surface of the pancake is covered with fine silk-like lines, as if it is a carefully carved work of art.

Gently pick up a piece and you can feel its lightness and crispness. Take a bite and the crust breaks between your teeth with a "crack", instantly releasing a rich wheat aroma and a light oil aroma.

The layers of the cake are distinct, each layer is as thin as a cicada's wing, yet tough. The melt-in-the-mouth texture is intoxicating. If you savor it carefully, you can also detect a hint of just the right sweetness, not too strong or too light, which adds just the right flavor to the cake.

If you like, you can also add some various side dishes to it, and the taste will be richer. Ye Xiaoxiao likes this very much and eats it almost with every meal. However, since she got on this boat, it is troublesome to make, so she hasn't eaten it for a long time.

"Okay, young lady, you are the best. I will bring it to you right away."

Soon, Chunxi carefully pushed open the door, holding the tray with both hands, on which was placed the meal prepared for Liu Yunniang today. There were two bowls of steaming rice porridge on the tray, the rice porridge was soft, sticky, fragrant and thick, the rice grains were plump, and exuded a faint rice fragrance.

There were a few side dishes on the side. One was finely chopped pickled cucumbers, which were emerald green in color and drizzled with a few drops of sesame oil, exuding an enticing fragrance; one was pickled dried radish, which was salty and delicious; and another was stir-fried bok choy, which was fresh and tender and looked very refreshing.

Ye Xiaoxiao's favorite golden pancake was placed on the largest plate. It was golden and crispy, making her drool just by looking at it.

Chunxi gently placed the tray on the table and said, "Miss, these are rice porridge and side dishes that are easier to digest. Eat a little to regain some strength."

There was a look of concern on her face and her eyes were full of expectation. She hoped that Liu Yunniang could eat more.

Seeing this, Liu Yunniang couldn't bear to make Chunxi worry, so she sat down too. The side dish was refreshing, so she finished the whole bowl of porridge with it.
