Chapter 13
After a while, Li Chengze fell asleep. Huilan looked at it and yawned. She went to the outhouse to get a pot of water and put it in the bedside warm bucket. Inside was the spiritual spring she added.
I leaned next to him and covered myself with a quilt and lay down. Before going to bed, I took half a pill of Peiyuan Pills to recuperate my foundation. This body was born with deficiencies and was a bit weak, so it needed to be recuperated for a while.
After taking medicine, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
There was no interruption or story, and the two slept soundly. It was not until the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark, that they heard Changji walking to the door of the inner room and calling softly.
"Sir, it's time to get up. We have to go to court today, so we can't delay."
Li Chengze suddenly opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes in confusion. An octagonal tassel palace lantern was lit in the outer room. The warm yellow light shone into a corner of the inner room, and the light was very soft.
"Get up."
Li Chengze opened his mouth to give orders and found someone beside him who had been hugging him. He turned around and saw that it was Huilan, sleeping like a child, and then he remembered that she had coaxed him to stay overnight yesterday.
She had a really solid sleep this time, this girl is quite capable.
"Lan'er, give me some of your benzoin."
Li Chengze saw that the incense in the incense burner had been burned out. He tried it yesterday and the effect was better than the incense in the palace.
"Well, I've packed it up and put it on the desk in the outer room. You can take it yourself. Don't disturb me and let me sleep for a while."
Huilan was very sleepy, so she turned over and covered herself with quilt and continued to sleep. She had no intention of getting up to serve the prince.
Li Chengze didn't blame him, "Okay, go to sleep, I'm leaving."
"Then are you still coming?"
Huilan did not forget this.
"Come on, it's rare for you to bother so much, I will definitely come."
Li Chengze stayed here very comfortably yesterday, more relaxed than other women's accommodations. This girl is a pistachio, sensible and smart, and can make him sleep soundly, so she came here just for that reason.
"Well, let's go then."
Huilan waved her little hand and asked him to get up quickly and not to delay my sleep.
Li Chengze smiled and pinched her little nose. When she got a whine of protest, he got up and went to the outer room.
Chang Ji dressed Li Chengze himself, and Ding Xiang brought him water to wash his face.
Breakfast was also served in an orderly manner.
The variety and style of breakfast are all determined according to Li Chengze's preferences. Huilan is just a good lady, and is not qualified to decide what the prince eats. She is also worried that the prince will be spoiled by the food given by an ignorant woman.
, so the rules are set.
"Master, leave some of the delicious food for me. I want to eat meat, and something sweet is fine too."
Huilan was half asleep and smelled the aroma of the food, so she quickly told her not to finish it for me.
Li Chengze glanced into the room angrily, "Chang Ji will leave a copy for her."
"yes."
Chang Ji smiled and agreed. This Liangyuan is really interesting. The prince has even gotten up, and she is still sleeping peacefully. Even Liang Di and Yu Li do not dare to treat the prince like this.
"Let her sleep. There is no need to wake her up so early. Remember to watch her take the tonic. Changji, go and tell her to send her some tonics and medicinal materials. She understands medicine and can tinker with it herself."
Li Chengze thought about how he was in a good mood yesterday and had a good sleep. He immediately became more energetic and his impression of Huilan became better and better.
"yes."
Li Chengze got up and went to the morning court after his morning meal, while Huilan actually slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
Ding Xiang helped her get up, mumbling, "My aunt, how come you've been sleeping so long? The prince left before dawn, and you didn't get up either."
"What are you afraid of? It's best to be comfortable and relaxed when getting along with each other. Even if I get up, you won't let me take care of you. It still looks awkward to stay there.
The prince will lose his temper even more because of the delay in the morning meeting. Good Dingxiang, you believe me, the prince will come often."
Huilan smiled confidently, as proud as a little fox.
"Really, that slave is relieved. The prince also asked someone to send you a copy of his own breakfast. Do you still want to fight?"
"Yes, my bones are too weak. Getting up early and boxing is good for your health. Ding Xiang, you come with me."
"good."
Huilan washed her face and went to the yard to practice boxing. This is a set of physical skills specially designed for women to practice. It is a very good technique and has a very high attack power.
Long-term exercise can strengthen your body and maintain a slim figure without any fat.
In a few days, when the medicinal materials are available, she plans to take a medicinal bath for herself, which will also strengthen her body and have a body-tempering effect.
But if you want to stay in the game for a long time, you have to use your brain. It seems that you have to make a fuss about the prince.
Forget it, just flatter him, find a time to coax him to prepare more medicinal ingredients, and you can enjoy it yourself.
I punched hard several times until my body was hot and sweating slightly, and I stopped to take a breath.
She started to learn this boxing technique after she came to Qinghui Garden and recovered from her illness. She has basically learned the movements, and also taught Ding Xiang, who works with her to get up early every day to exercise.
After the exercise, Ding Xiang directed the maid to bring breakfast.
Huilan looked at it and immediately became happy, "Sure enough, the prince's breakfast is more sumptuous and exquisite. I can't finish it even if it's so much.
I've also eaten this and this golden cake, so I'll take it out and share it with you, so that everyone can taste the difference in the prince's breakfast."
"Thank you Liangyuan for the reward."
The girls also knelt down happily to express their thanks. It was honorable for the master to reward them, especially Huilan, who was very careful and considerate. Every time she was given dishes, they were untouched, and they were cleaner than those she had eaten before, which made her feel comfortable.
"No, please do your job well and don't be a fool who bullies me because I'm young. But you have to pay the price. Hong Ling is a lesson learned from the past."
Huilan laughed and typed a few words before sitting down to eat.
"The slaves don't dare. Since you have become Liangyuan's slave after coming to Qinghui Garden, no one will dare to take her anywhere else. The slaves are afraid of death and will not dare to do such a thing."
The palace maid Qiu Yun smiled and expressed her loyalty.
"Well, that's right, your name is Qiuyun."
Huilan recognized him at a casual glance, and she acted quickly and outstandingly.
"Yes, my servant Qiuyun, I used to be a palace maid who made tea."
"Well, I'll learn from your sister Dingxiang in the future, and now I'll wait in the house. If you do well, I'll be promoted."
Huilan seemed to make the assignment randomly, but in fact she had been observing it for several days.
"Thank you, Master. I will do a good job. From now on, I will also be a slave protected by my Master."
Qiuyun was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, and he spoke beautifully.
"Get up, don't mind my small position, we will depend on each other, and you will have face when I am better."
"yes."
Qiuyun happily filled Huilan with tea and water, and Dingxiang did not fight with her. She knew that the master could not do it alone and needed the help of other palace maids.
"Ding Xiang, the prince won't be here tonight. You can get me some spicy pot to eat. Let the kitchen prepare it by itself. Just order some dishes and slice some meat. If you want to eat too, let Yu Qing make more."
"yes."
Yu Qing was the little eunuch from the imperial kitchen who had helped their master and servant, and was transferred by Chang Ji to serve them.
