After listening to Eunuch Zhang's words, Mingruo seemed to have lost all hope and sat blankly in the armchair.
Zhang Jinliang led Chief Chen out of the dormitory. Seeing Doctor Li standing in the corridor, he nodded slightly. The three of them left Prince Yun's Mansion with satisfaction.
Ah Yi came in to report that Eunuch Zhang and his entourage had left. Ming Ruo walked into the inner room, took off the silver needle stuck on Si Haochen's body, and gently massaged the arm where the needle had been inserted.
After Mingruo inserted these two needles, Si Haochen felt that his arm seemed to be frozen a little bit. As soon as the silver needle was taken off, it thawed again. With Mingruo's massage, in just one breath, it was frozen.
Returned to normal.
Mingruo asked Zisu and Lithospermum to bring in two basins of hot water, and personally washed off the dull foundation on Si Haochen's face and the powder sprinkled on his hair.
Mingruo helped Si Haochen wring his hair with a towel while complaining: "The prince's hair quality is also very good, it is black, soft and shiny, and he doesn't look like he is sick at first glance..."
"What did you ask Hospital Chen to diagnose for the first time?" Si Haochen raised the corners of his lips slightly. He didn't expect that Ming Ruo was so meticulous in his work, and there really wasn't even a single flaw in his hair.
"Well... it's just... Your Majesty, you are not going to die soon." Mingruo said it lightly.
"Heh." Si Haochen pushed his long hair behind his back, "No need to wipe it."
"Oh." Mingruo's hands were tired from wiping her hair. Long hair is really troublesome. After washing her hair every day, Zisu and Jixue would take turns twisting it for her, and it would take a long time to dry it. Si Haochen didn't like crowds of people.
She also doesn’t like others to get close to her, so the job of a caregiver is too difficult.
Ming Ruo asked the maid to come in and collect the washing things, then straightened her clothes: "Your Majesty, it's time to rest, I have to go back."
"You have a grudge against Zhang Jinliang." Si Haochen's tone was slow, obviously declarative.
He had obviously been 'playing dead' in the bed tent, and he was still aware of his own emotions.
Is it because Si Haochen's insight is too powerful, or is his ability to control emotions too bad?
However, the matter of having a grudge against Eunuch Zhang is not an ulterior secret.
"He hit my head with a porcelain pillow." Mingruo added silently in his heart - the original owner was hit to death.
"I understand." Si Haochen actually responded.
Mingruo looked at Si Haochen with burning eyes, her big eyes sparkling with stars.
Golden Thigh never says meaningless words. This 'get it' - does he mean to help her get revenge? Is it? Isn't it!
"Cough." Si Haochen felt uncomfortable when Ming Ruo saw him, so he put his fist to his lips and coughed.
"Your Majesty, you have a cough. Let me stew Sichuan clams and pears for you to eat." Mingruo decided to hug Jin's thigh tightly.
"Yeah." Si Haochen's eyes were lowered, making it difficult to see his emotions.
Meiyuan's small kitchen is not small, and it is fully equipped with all the ingredients and kitchen utensils.
Making Sichuan Scallop and Snow Pear is also simple. Mingruo picked a medium-sized pear from the fresh fruits delivered by the big kitchen, peeled it, cut off the top, dug out the core, and soaked it in light salt water. Then grind the Sichuan Scallop and Snow Pear.
Turn it into fine powder, put a little into the belly of the pear, add a few rock sugar, and insert the shaved top back into its original position with a toothpick.
Mingruo puts the processed pears into the stew pot, closes the lid, and steams them over water.
The small kitchen in Meiyuan was managed by Aunt Dong. When Prince Yun was young and still a prince, she was the one who took care of the food. After he grew up and became a prince, she also followed Prince Yun out of the palace and became his attendant.
In the palace, I often saw the master cooking and eating, that is, standing on the side and watching the chef cook, and occasionally making a few remarks was a rare thing. My cousin would bring soup and snacks made by herself every now and then, and this was the same method.
Unexpectedly, the princess was so sincere. When she said she was going to stew Sichuan scallops and pears for the prince, she really did it herself, even peeling the fruit herself.
Mingruo noticed that Aunt Dong had been looking at her, and while washing her hands, she asked, "Have you learned what Chuanbei Xueli did?"
Aunt Dong didn't know what the deep meaning of the princess's question was, so she could only reply honestly: "I've probably learned it, but I'm not sure how much Sichuan clam powder the princess put in it."
"Put a penny of Sichuan clam powder on each pear, and rock sugar as you like." Ming Ruo thought for a moment, "Your prince likes desserts, but he doesn't like them to be very sweet, so just put two or three rock sugar."
Aunt Dong was very surprised. The prince did not like to eat anything that was too sweet, and he would not eat any normal desserts. Therefore, the people serving around him only knew that the prince did not like sweets. Only she knew that the prince did eat sweets.
When making it, only one-third of the usual amount of sugar was used, and the prince liked it.
This was something she only figured out after serving the prince for more than ten years. The princess knew the prince's preferences less than a month after entering the palace. What a delicate and thoughtful person she was.
Mingruo never asked Si Haochen's taste intentionally, but Xiaotuanzi liked to give Si Haochen snacks, and Si Haochen only tasted one bite of the desserts delivered to him. The rest were basically cheap.
Understand Mingruo. After eating snacks a lot, Mingruo discovered that if the snacks were very sweet, Si Haochen would drink a cup of tea after taking a bite; if they were generally sweet, he would not drink tea; if they were not very sweet, he would drink tea.
I will take a second bite.
After Mingruo's careful analysis and bold reasoning, he came to the conclusion that Si Haochen had a picky preference for desserts.
Mingruo asked Zicao to look at the fire and continued to say to Aunt Dong: "This needs to be simmered for half an hour. It takes as long as it takes to turn off the heat and simmer a cup of tea and you can eat it."
"Oh." Aunt Dong nodded.
"If your prince has a cough from now on, just stew a pear for him to eat for two or three days and he will be fine." Ming Ruo felt that he was really a serious and responsible family doctor.
"Okay." Aunt Dong nodded, but she always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, why did the princess say 'your prince'? It should be 'our prince', right? But why do we say this?
I don’t know, and we don’t dare to ask…
After the pears are stewed, open the stew pot. The originally snow-white pear flesh becomes crystal clear. Mingruo garnishes it with a bright red wolfberry, making it look even more beautiful and delicious.
Mingruo brought the 'medicated dessert' to Jin Thigh, and Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you make it?"
"I used magic to change it." Ming Ruo was in a really good mood today and said a joke.
"Dan Xu is very afraid of the art of losing victory. Do you want to go to the heavenly prison?" Si Haochen took a bite with the spoon. The pulp was soft and sweet, and it tasted good.
"I'm just kidding." If I knew magic, I'd better change myself and go home first.
"I am also joking." Si Haochen ate the snow pear slowly.
Ming Ruo looked at the sky speechlessly, boss, your joke is not funny at all...
Hidden in the darkness, Ah San almost fell off the beam. Heaven and earth, the master is kidding. This is such an exciting moment. Unfortunately, no one shared this historic moment with him.
