Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 37 The Arrival of King Xuan

Xiao Yilin half-lyed on the bed thinking about how to deal with King Xuan and said: "Mr. Xiao, you have someone prepare some cosmetics, and you can't let King Xuan see my current appearance. When he comes, I have to give him a sick and dying man." look."

Xiao Zhen understood the meaning of his lord, "My lord, my subordinates will prepare as soon as possible. You are tired all the way and rest first. I will ask the kitchen to cook some easy-to-digest food for you."

Xiao Yilin ate some steamed buns that the boy had prepared for him on the road, but he wasn't very hungry.He wants to take a rest first, and eat breakfast after he wakes up.

Xiao Yilin had to take medicine in the morning, so Gu Yu woke him up after dawn, and he had to eat something before taking the medicine, and he took the medicine after the meal.

At this moment, someone came to report that Concubine Lin asked to see her.

Xiao Yilin was wiping his face with a damp towel, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes when he heard this.He didn't want to see it, but he had to.At the moment when Xuan Wang Xiao Yitai is coming, it is inappropriate to arouse Lin's suspicion.

Xiao Zhen said beside him: "My lord, you must not let Concubine Lin see your current appearance, lest she have doubts."

Xiao Yilin said: "If I don't see her, she will be more suspicious. You put down the bed curtain, and I lay on the bed, and said that I had a cold and was weak and needed to rest. Let her say hello and leave."

Xiao Zhen nodded and asked people to let Concubine Lin in, while Gu Yu supported his prince to lie down, and then lowered the bed curtain.

Soon there was a gust of fragrant wind, and a young and beautiful woman came in, seeing everyone in the room, she said softly, "Hey, the chief executive is here too, how is the prince? I haven't seen the prince for several days."

Xiao Zhen said: "My lord has caught wind and cold recently, and I'm afraid of infecting others, so I haven't seen the female relatives in the backyard. Moreover, my lord was feverish last night and didn't take much rest at all. Now my body is very weak and needs to rest."

At this moment, there was a coughing sound from the bed curtain, and Xiao Yilin's voice came out weakly, "I'm going to rest, you all go out."

When Lin Mingyue heard that it was indeed Xiao Yilin's voice, her eyes flickered and she immediately blessed Fushen, "My lord, I have always wanted to serve you by your side, but I have been stopped outside the door. This time, let me stay and serve you .”

Lin Mingyue not only expressed her concern but also insinuated Xiao Zhen and others.

A contemptuous look flashed in Xiao Yilin's eyes when he heard this, but he coughed and pretended to be weak and said, "I don't want anyone to disturb me, it's fine if I have servants to serve me. I want to sleep now, you all go down."

Xiao Zhen turned around and said to Lin Mingyue: "Concubine Lin, the prince needs to rest, you should go back first."

Seeing that she couldn't stay, Lin Mingyue said: "Then you have to take good care of the prince."

Gu Yu personally sent Concubine Lin out of the courtyard.

Back in the room, Gu Yu snorted, "This side concubine Lin must have come to find out about the prince on behalf of Prince Xuan."

Feng Zhixin said bluntly, "If you want me to say, those female family members in the backyard should be dealt with. Anyway, the prince has never touched them."

Gu Yu gave Feng Zhi a blank look, "Most of the female family members in the backyard are spies sent by various forces, we at least know their details. If they are dealt with, King Xuan and others will send new spies over, and then we will be more passive. It’s better to keep the status quo.”

Xiao Zhen nodded, "Gu Yu is right. At least we know that the female relatives in the backyard are spies of someone else, so we are better prepared than to deal with them. It is easy to explain whoever wants to deal with in the future. .”

Xiao Yilin said: "Now we can only make false claims with them. When I recover, I don't have to be afraid of them anymore. King Xuan should arrive tomorrow, so you all get ready."

Xiao Zhen said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will make arrangements. Take some food first, and the medicine will be ready soon."

Yesterday, he didn't take medicine bath and acupuncture, and he was in a hurry, now Xiao Yilin feels very tired.After leaving the boy, he felt the heaviness in his body return.

Fortunately, the boy prescribed medicine for him, otherwise his body would definitely deteriorate.He secretly hated Xiao Yitai, this ambitious guy probably came to see if he was about to die.

Gu Yu personally brought the breakfast to his lord's room, and saw that his lord only ate half a bowl of porridge, only a few sips of chicken soup, and only tasted the other side dishes.

Gu Yu was very worried, "My lord, why do you eat so little? You still need to take a medicinal bath and drink medicine. You can't do without food."

Xiao Yilin waved his hand, "I can't eat it, so take it away."

Although the ingredients of the food at home are better than those of other people's Chu's, the taste of the food is far worse.Xiao Yilin really has no appetite.

Feng Zhi also snorted next to him and said, "The cooks in this mansion really eat nothing, they can't even cook a delicious meal. The breakfast is too bad, far worse than the Chu family's food. Let alone the prince I can’t eat it, and I don’t like it either.”

Gu Yu gave Feng Zhi a blank look, "Don't make trouble here, how can the prince's health survive without eating?"

Gu Yu thought about the food that Mr. Chu made for them before leaving the Chu family, "My lord, how many buns are there still that Mr. Chu made for us, do you want to eat them? Let me heat them up for you?"

Xiao Yilin nodded thinking of the delicious meat buns, "Then warm up two. I still want to eat the eight-treasure porridge cooked by Mr. Chu."

Gu Yu was very happy when he heard that, "Don't worry, I know what should be put in the porridge, and I will watch the porridge in person later. I have already asked people to cook the medicinal liquid, and when you are finished soaking the medicinal bath, you will be ready to eat." It's ready to eat."

Gu Yu hurried to ask someone to heat the buns, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for his prince.

Xiao Yilin ate two steamed buns and a few mouthfuls of egg custard, and after digesting his food, he began to take a medicinal bath.

The medicinal materials for the medicinal bath this time were formulated by the people in Prince Jing's Mansion according to Jing Yi's prescription.

Xiao Yilin sat in the medicinal liquid and soaked for a while, obviously feeling different from the medicinal bath before.Xiao Yilin knew that the medicine was not as effective as the one from the Chu family.

Xiao Yilin returned to the room after soaking in the medicated bath, and saw a steaming bowl of eight-treasure porridge on the table in the room, which seemed to be the same as that made by the Chu family.

Xiao Yilin looked up at Gu Yu after taking a sip of porridge, "The taste is different. It's not as delicious as the Chu family's."

Gu Yu was also helpless, his lord's tongue was too sharp, and he could taste it as soon as he tasted it.

Gu Yu said helplessly: "My lord, I just made it according to Mr. Chu's method. There is nothing I can do if the taste is different. But I tasted it and it was okay."

Xiao Yilin pursed his lips and lowered his head to drink the porridge.He knew that he had to eat, otherwise his body would not be able to bear the effects of the medicine.

He felt better after eating the porridge and drinking the medicine Jing Yi prepared for him.

In the afternoon, Xuan Wang Xiao Yitai brought a team to Prince Jing's mansion.

Xiao Yilin didn't go out to greet him in person, he started to put on makeup when his subordinates reported that Xiao Yitai was coming soon, and then lay on the bed, pretending that he was bedridden.

Xiao Zhen was appointed to lead people to meet King Xuan.
