Mingruo originally wanted to peel a few more lotus seeds to eat, but she didn't have enough time, so she simply asked Zi Su to take the lotus pods to Meiyuan.
Doctor Xue came extra early today, saying that he would complete the treatment early and go back to prepare the decoction for tomorrow. Only then did Mingruo remember that Si Haochen would use ice soul grass and flame heart lotus seeds for tomorrow's decoction.
I'm really looking forward to using the rare medicinal materials in ancient books as medicine.
After finishing the medicinal bath and acupuncture, Doctor Xue left early. Mingruo pushed Si Haochen out of the soup pool. The backyard was a lush plum forest. There were so many trees, but only a few ripe plums were hanging on the branches. It looked like they were still alive.
Quite cute.
"Should these plum trees be pruned? They don't bear fruit." Mingruo loved picking and often caused harm to her grandfather's small vegetable garden when she was a child.
"Plums are ripe in May and June." Si Haochen replied.
"Oh, the harvest has been finished." Ming Ruo was a little regretful that she didn't catch up with the good time for picking.
"The plums are very sour and not delicious."
"You can use it to make green plum wine or make plum preserves." Mingruo actually liked doing these things, but she was too busy with work in her previous life and had no time. She could only watch the videos shot by food bloggers, and she felt envious.
"You can pick the plums when they are ripe next year." Without the prince's permission, no one would dare to touch the plum trees in the plum garden. The plums on the trees will only fall off when they are ripe and be swept away by the gardener.
If Mingruo didn't answer, next year...by then, he should no longer be living in Prince Yun's Mansion.
Mingruo sent Si Haochen back to the dormitory, and Si Haochen sat in the tea seat next to the window. There was a set of sky-blue tea sets on the low table, and a pot of water was boiling on the small red clay stove.
Mingruo saw the lotus pods she brought and chose two, one tall and one short, to insert into the black pottery vase. They were indeed very elegant and beautiful. Although there were only two more lotus pods for decoration, the cold and solemn atmosphere of the entire dormitory was broken.
There was a touch of warmth. Si Haochen didn't like to put flowers and plants in the room. He glanced at the lotus pods in the vase and found it not annoying, so he went to make tea on his own.
Mingruo originally planned to go back, but Si Haochen said in a deep voice: "Come over for tea."
"Oh." Mingruo drank a lot of tea in Meiyuan, but she has never drunk the tea brewed by His Royal Highness Prince Yun.
Mingruo sat down in front of the coffee table with her lotus pod. Now she finally had time to peel the lotus seeds and eat them. First, she peeled the lotus seeds out of the lotus pod, peeled off the green shell on the surface, and revealed the white and plump lotus seeds.
Si Haochen placed a cup of tea in front of Mingruo and held the small tea cup with his long fingers. It was really a blessing to have the party controlled by hand.
"Do you want to eat lotus seeds?" Mingruo asked casually.
"Hmm." A big palm with distinct knuckles stretched out in front of Mingruo.
Mingruo looked at the lotus pods on the table, then at the peeled lotus seeds in her hand, and then looked up at Si Haochen's serious and focused eyes. Mingruo felt that Si Haochen's black eyes had a magical power that made people surrender.
, she put the peeled lotus seeds into his palm in a strange way.
Si Haochen put the lotus seeds in his mouth and chewed them a few times, frowning slightly. Seeing how sweet they were when she ate them, why did they taste like this: "Bitter."
"Um." Mingruo pinched open the lotus seeds and took out the lotus core in the middle, "The lotus core is bitter, but the lotus seeds are not bitter."
His slender fingers took away the cored lotus seeds from Mingruo's hand and put them into his mouth to taste carefully. The fragrance was slightly sweet: "Not bad."
"..." Mingruo lowered his head and continued to peel the lotus seeds, but also had to remove the lotus core.
"Shen Bichi took your dowry with the concubine's token and sent part of it back to the Shen family and part to the palace." Si Haochen felt that this was Mingruo's thing and it was necessary to tell her. "The things are being shipped back, and she plans to make them back without anyone noticing."
"My cousin is such a good person." Mingruo dropped a lotus seed into his mouth and bit it loudly.
"Huh?" Si Haochen looked at Mingruo, and he actually heard some sincerity in Mingruo's tone.
"If Miss Cousin is a bad person, tell the warehouse that the things were really taken away by the concubine. If you want to come back, you can go to the concubine. The warehouse must not go to the concubine. Report it..." Ming Ruo curled her lips and looked at it. Si Haochen said, "The prince can't ask for it from the concubine, and I don't dare to ask for it from the concubine. In the end, either I will suffer the loss, or the prince will pay for the hole with his own money, and we will be the ones who suffer..."
"Ha..." She saw clearly.
Ming Ruo peeled the lotus seeds for a long time, and most of them went into Si Haochen's stomach. Not to mention, he was still far away from recovering his huge wealth: "Your Majesty, these lotus seeds are like melon seeds. You have to peel them yourself to eat them."
"I never eat melon seeds." Si Haochen told the truth.
"..." This means that I have to work hard to peel lotus seeds for Golden Thigh and eat them.
"Whatever you want to buy, you can withdraw the money from the palace's account." The lotus seeds were peeled well, so Si Haochen decided to give the small laborers some benefits.
"No, I have nothing to do with money now."
"I see you are in a hurry for money..." Si Haochen was a little confused.
"If nothing else happens, your illness will be cured tomorrow." Mingruo supported his chin with his hand, "Prince Yun's palace doesn't support idle people, so I have to make plans for the future."
Si Haochen's pupils shrank, and a voice echoed in his mind - she wanted to leave.
My heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy object, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Aunt Dong brought a plate of pine pulp and rolled it in: "Princess, please try the snacks made by this old slave."
"Okay." Mingruo picked up the pine pulp roll and took a bite. It was not very sweet, and it should be Jin Thigh's favorite taste.
Mingruo pointed to the lotus pods on the table: "Mom, please take these boiled lotus seed soups and give them to the prince." She didn't want to continue to be an emotional lotus seed peeling machine.
"Your Majesty likes to eat lotus seed soup the most." Aunt Dong held a few lotus seeds and went down happily.
Mingruo found that Si Haochen suddenly became silent. In fact, he talked more than usual just now, which was not normal. Mingruo thought about it and directly attributed it to anxiety. She had met many patients who were very nervous before the operation. Anxiety will lead to emotional instability. Tomorrow, for Si Haochen who has been ill for three years, will also be a day worth being nervous and looking forward to.
"Um... just relax." Mingruo felt that it was hard to comfort someone as strong as Si Haochen. "Even if Doctor Xue's medicine doesn't work, I am confident that I can cure you."
Si Haochen glanced at Mingruo, who told her that he was nervous...
"..." Looking at Jin Thigh's indifferent and contemptuous eyes, it felt like flattery was slapped on the horse's leg. He said so many mistakes, but he still slipped away.
After Mingruo left, Bai Shen came in to reply. He saw two cups on the coffee table. There were some lotus pod shells scattered next to the other cup...
Bai Shen was shocked in his heart. The prince made tea for the princess to drink! The princess also left a pile of fruit shells and peels on the prince’s beloved tea table! It was so shocking, ahhh!
