"It was really just a momentary inadvertence, nothing to make a fuss about."

Han Dongwen was sitting on a chair. The imperial doctor had arrived and was checking the wound on his earlobe.

Jiang Keyin's side was much exaggerated. She pressed her chest and her face turned pale. The maid next to her kept fanning her, and the imperial doctor was examining her.

"His Royal Highness's body is fine. It will only take a little care. I will give him some blood stasis-removing pills and take them for three days. I will also ask the maids to clean and replace His Highness's dressings."

The old doctor who treated his waist last night was forced to work overtime today and was standing in front of Han Dongwen, bowing and saluting.

Han Dongwen waved his hand: "Thank you, this is really a minor injury, nothing to worry about. How about Concubine Yin?"

Sensing Han Dongwen's gaze, Jiang Keyin, who was being supported by Chi Hanqing, blinked and smiled at him.

The imperial doctor bowed and replied:

"Ms. Concubine Yin was just frightened for a moment and worried about His Highness's eagerness. It's nothing serious."

"Your Highness."

Jiang Keyin had already walked to Han Dongwen, and naturally put her arm around him and leaned closer, "Your Highness, you need to be more careful. Ke'er was really frightened just now. She thought there was an assassin in this dormitory.

I am about to lose you."

She hugged Han Dongwen's hand tightly: "I, and sister Hanqing are all very worried about you."

Chi Hanqing on the side heard that these were Jiang Keyin's words to take care of him, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is in good health, so that the people of Simeng can live and work in peace and contentment."

Chi Hanqing was a little puzzled. He was not as good at acting as Jiang Keyin, so why did she pull him while talking?

Of course, if this plague king feels that he does not care about him, he may become angry again.

After thinking about it like this, she finally glanced at Jiang Keyin gratefully.

The next day, it rained continuously.

Chi Hanqing woke up from the bed with some reluctance, her silky black hair gently hanging down her white shoulders like a curtain. She sat blankly for a moment, pulled up her bed skirt, and looked outside the window where the rain was pattering.

In the harem, what she cherishes most is the time to sleep.

As long as you don't need to wake up, you can hide.

"Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen made silk eel noodles in pure soup this morning. If you are ready, Sisi will serve them to you first?"

The person who spoke was the little maid at the door. Her name was Sisi, and she was the person she knew best.

Chi Hanqing nodded: "Take some more of your favorite snacks and say they are what I want."

"Hehe, let me change your clothes first!"

Sisi smiled and jumped up and down to Chi Hanqing's bedside.

She had served this Concubine Chi for a long time, and naturally knew that she was not as difficult and mean as other empresses.

Chi Hanqing turned around and put on her sleeves: "Sisi, what's wrong with you today? Are you in such a good mood?"

"Ah, you can see it?"

As she spoke, she helped Chi Hanqing tie up her hair into a simple knot - this hairstyle was quite casual, but it was morning, and there was no need to leave Chiya Palace, let alone see the emperor.

, he must not have gotten up yet.

"Today it was my turn to be on duty in the dormitory. Somehow, His Highness seemed to have asked the maid who was on duty yesterday to stay for another day, so that I could stay with the Queen again!"

She stuck out her tongue: "It was scary enough to go to the dormitory last time. I don't know if this girl can survive being there for two days..."

Chi Hanqing sighed, raised his hand and pinched Sisi's cheek: "Isn't this just someone else suffering for you? You'd be happy."

"Well, that's what His Highness said, and there's nothing I can do about it..."

Sisi pouted, while Chi Hanqing sighed. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and took out a string of white beads from the jewelry box.

The pearls on it are each as big as a little fingernail, and the string is not short. There are about a hundred or so pearls in this string.

She touched the buckle and untied it, took out a small bead and handed it to Sisi: "When you go to Yingchun Palace, remember to see this girl and give this to her. After all, she is going to suffer for you.

, if someone is injured or sick at that time, grind these beads into powder, mix it with water and take it, it will make them better."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and added: "You, it's not okay if you don't do this. The last thing you should do in this harem is to be hated by others."

Sisi nodded in understanding and carefully put away the bead. Chi Hanqing handed her a small red jade coin and tied it with a string to form a small bracelet.

The same bracelet was worn by Sisi herself - it was a heart-warming jade. When Concubine Chi felt sorry for her, she had to stay naked for a long time when she went to the bedroom to serve Han Dongwen. Wearing this small jade ornament could keep out the cold to some extent.

"You can lend this to the girl who wants to go to the dormitory."

She looked a little serious: "Remember, you have to borrow it yourself. Don't let other ladies think that I am giving you some jewelry here and there to win over the servants."

Sisi smiled, but did not take it: "Mother, you don't know yet. From today on, you don't have to take off your clothes when entering the bedroom."

"Your Highness, the servants have come in to clean up."

Xiao Hongdou's voice came from outside the palace door. Just as Han Dongwen had asked, she would be with him on duty today.

"come in."

After changing his clothes, he stood up and walked to the desk to sit down. The ebony desk had become his temporary dining table, where breakfast was also served.

Today, the imperial dining room serves Yuqiong flower duck porridge. The tribute rice from Leizhou is simmered in water melted from iceberg snow. Instead of adding salt, oil, soy sauce and vinegar, finely chopped green onions and orange and yellow filaments are added.

Such a bowl of porridge is topped with roasted duck skin that is shiny and shiny, crispy but not greasy. The duck is a duck that has been fed liquidambar flowers and is roasted in an open oven until it is shiny.

In this bowl of porridge, there are only two leaf-sized pieces of skin from the middle of the duck's back and the center of its heart.

These two pieces of skin are the tenderest, most fragrant, and most oily.

This bowl of porridge is topped with more than ten pieces of duck skin, which is the essence of seven or eight precious ducks. The duck skin is sprinkled with fine snow-like white sugar. When it is blanched by the hot porridge, the sugar fragrance melts with the fragrance of duck skin.
