The two returned to the main courtyard. Wangchun helped the Crown Princess take off the heavy hairpins on her head; Yingchun brought the Mingqian Longjing tea that had just been delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The mellow fragrance soon filled the room.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the Crown Princess's profile as she took off her earrings and walked behind her. "Why are the earrings I gave you gone?"

Gu Qinghe was stunned when she heard this. Which one was he talking about? In this life, Xiao Jingheng really loved giving gifts, but she couldn't remember clearly.

Wangchun saw the Crown Princess frowning and quickly held out a pair of ruby ​​earrings. "Your Highness, the Crown Princess was looking at this pair this morning, but I said it didn't match her clothes, so I didn't wear them. I didn't expect you to ask about it today. We are so in tune with each other."

After Wangchun finished speaking, he lowered his head and slowly exhaled. He thought he was quite smart. This was probably what they called thinking in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingheng did not expose the girl's words, but smiled and said, "It is normal for husband and wife to have a tacit understanding."

Gu Qinghe smiled, changed direction, took off the other pearl earring and placed it in the dressing box.

After packing up, Gu Qinghe and Xiao Jingheng sat opposite each other and drank tea. Xiao Jingheng asked, "Were you frightened when you went to Yun Zhaoyi today?"

Gu Qinghe put down the teacup in his hand and raised his head, "No, I am already strong in my heart now."

When Xiao Jingheng heard this, his left chest felt like it was being tightly grasped, then loosened, and then tightened again, over and over again, causing him to feel both sour and painful.

"Qinghe, you don't have to pretend to be calm in front of me. If you have any emotions, vent them to me." Xiao Jingheng said in a gentle voice: "Follow me, don't worry."

Gu Qinghe looked at Xiao Jingheng, as if thinking about how to vent his emotions. After a few breaths, he said, "I've made a note of this. If there's a chance in the future."

Just as Xiao Jingheng was about to say something else, he heard Han Desheng's voice at the door, "Madam Lin, you came all the way from Yongshou Palace, what are you doing here?"

"The Empress Dowager asked me to bring some sweet soup to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The masters are busy now." Nanny Lin said with a smile on her face.

"Madam Lin, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform them." Han Desheng said, then turned and walked into the hall.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess..." Before Han Desheng could finish his words, he saw the Crown Prince raise his hand to interrupt him, "Let Nanny Lin come in."

"Yes." Han Desheng quickly retreated. He could tell that he had interrupted the emotional exchange between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

"Madame Lin, please come in."

Nanny Lin nodded and entered the palace, "This old servant pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Jamel Xiao raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

Gu Qinghe saw the food box in Nanny Lin's hand and guessed that the Empress Dowager might have sent some good things to her grandson.

"This is the soup that the Empress Dowager suddenly wanted to drink today. Thinking that the Crown Princess must have been tired in the palace today, she asked me to bring some sugar water to the Crown Princess." Nanny Lin said with a smile, her hands moving non-stop.

A bowl of rose petals in a sweet soup was placed in front of the Crown Princess. Nanny Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Empress Dowager said she was worried you might be upset, so she brought you a bowl too."

Xiao Jingheng didn't care about this at all. He was happy to see that the Crown Princess received the care and favor of the Empress Dowager.

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a side gift for me. It doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Lin laughed even more happily. If we had to say who was the incidental person, it would definitely not be you, the prince.

Gu Qinghe asked Zhang Jinbao and Yingchun to send Nanny Lin out together, then took a sip with a spoon. It was very sweet and smooth, really like sugar water.

Xiao Jingheng naturally couldn't refuse the Empress Dowager's kindness, so he also took a sip. The man's actions were much more heroic than the woman's.

He couldn't bear to swallow it and hurt his stomach. Why did it have a strange smell, like fishy and rancid? He took a closer look and didn't recognize it...

"Han Desheng, come and take a look at this." Xiao Jingheng frowned and said impatiently.

When Han Desheng heard his master calling him, he hurried forward two steps, bent his body, and looked at it carefully. It didn't take him much effort to recognize that this was a popular item among young eunuchs.

After becoming a eunuch, there are always some people who have ulterior motives and want that thing to grow bigger. Some doctors believe in replenishing the body with like, so many eunuchs spend high prices to buy deer and tiger parts in order to strengthen themselves.

But now, this kind of thing appeared in the prince's soup bowl, which was very unreasonable...

"Don't you recognize him?" Xiao Jingheng asked again.

Han Desheng had to answer, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He was trying hard to find the right words to fool the question.

Gu Qinghe glanced at the master and servant across from them, as if they were playing a riddle. He leaned forward to take a look, chuckled lightly, and then said lightly, "Deer whip, it warms the kidneys and strengthens yang, and treats sore waist and knees."

After saying this, Gu Qinghe couldn't help but laugh twice more, then wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "This syrup is good. I'll ask the Empress Dowager how she made it later."

Han Desheng froze in place, not knowing how to react. Caught in a dilemma, he quickly came up with an idea, "This thing can also help with fatigue..."

After saying the three words "anti-fatigue", he wanted to bite off his tongue. What's the difference between this and saying that it's not easy to be a prince?

Sure enough, a cold "Get out!" rang in Han Desheng's ears. This was like amnesty, and Han Desheng hurriedly retreated outside the hall.

Oh, why is it that the Empress Dowager is so concerned that she gets confused? She did the wrong thing with good intentions, and in the end, he is the one who gets scolded.

Xiao Jingheng sat opposite Gu Qinghe, feeling very embarrassed. If anyone had the right to comment on his private affairs, it could only be the Crown Princess.

His mind was spinning like crazy at the moment. Today, the Crown Princess met the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager gave him this thing that hurt his self-esteem.

Could it be that the Crown Princess said something?

Or, did you previously complain about your time being too long, but now you think it's too short? Or do you think he's not doing well in some way?

"Qinghe, if you have any opinions about me, you can tell me directly without going through others. We are husband and wife and the closest people." Xiao Jingheng suppressed his embarrassment and said earnestly.

Gu Qinghe nodded after hearing this. "I know, Your Highness, there's no need to overthink it. Medically, warming the kidneys and strengthening yang is universally accepted, regardless of gender. Overthinking it only makes you appear guilty."

Xiao Jingheng couldn't even bear to hear the word "empty" now, so he changed the subject and said, "Send someone to serve dinner."

After dinner, he also had time to prove that he was really not weak and that he had all the strength in his body.

Gu Qinghe called out, "Zhang Jinbao, go serve dinner and add a soup to clear away heat and reduce internal heat."

"Yes." Zhang Jinbao responded and hurried out.

These masters are really interesting. The Empress Dowager is used to replenish the body, and the Crown Princess is used to purge the body. They are just tossing and turning for fun.
