If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 21 She quits being a substitute (21)

Jiang Miao reported her address at the foot of Baima Temple Mountain, which is some distance away.

Before Xiao Yi could speak, Xiao Qi wisely changed direction and sent Jiang Miao home first.

It was raining heavily outside, but it was very quiet inside the carriage.

She didn't expect that Xiao Yi would break the silence first.

"I saw Miaoshou Hall."

Jiang Miao raised her eyes and looked at him, "Well, I plan to open a medical clinic after I leave the army. Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"

"This is the way home."

"Ah sneeze~"

Xiao Yi picked up the blanket covering his knees and handed it to Jiang Miao. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Put it on."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Jiang Miao took the blanket in his hand and put it on her body. The blanket was used by Xiao Yi before, but now it fell on her back and seemed to be infected with his body temperature.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think that he had heard too many thanks in front of Jiang Miao.

She was a little curious in her heart as to what impression she had of herself.

In the entire city of Luoyang, no one thanked him sincerely.

"Thank me? Miss Jiang, I don't know how many people are gnashing their teeth at this king."

The regent has always been very unruly in his affairs, and even the old emperor above him is somewhat afraid of him, not to mention the princes and grandsons.

When such a person sees someone, he will hide as far away as possible, for fear of falling into his hands.

Jiang Miao heard the self-deprecation in his words. Out of respect for her savior, she said seriously: "That's because others don't know your good intentions."

Xiao Yi spoke with a half-smile.

"How come every time I see you, something happens to you."

Jiang Miao chuckled, "Mr. Xiao, actually I rarely have problems."

At this moment, Xiao Qi's voice came through the curtain.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Miss Jiang's residence."

When Jiang Miao took off the blanket, she found that it was soaked. She apologized and said, "Wait until it is washed and dried before I return it to you?"

Xiao Yi's eyes fell on her face, as if thinking, and then nodded slightly.

Jiang Miao frowned, "Mr. Xiao, it's raining too hard. Why don't you stay down and have a cup of hot tea?"

When Xiao Yi got up, Xiao Qi was dumbfounded!
  How could the regent agree! !

Throughout Luoyang City, there were many people who wanted to invite the Prince Regent to visit them, but the prince refused every time and did not bother with these banquets at all.

Xiao Qi hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella and chased after him.

Jiang Miao opened the courtyard door and said, "Come in, the house is a little rough."

Xiao Yi is tall and tall, and the room looks even narrower when he walks in. However, the room is clean and tidy, and the layout is pleasing to the eye.

He sat in front of the case, looking intently.

Jiang Miao lit the small stove first and said, "Wait a moment."

She quickly walked into the boudoir and changed into a dry dress and came out. With a cloth draped over her shoulders, she wiped her long hair and got ready to make tea.

"Mr. Xiao, do you want clear tea or ginger tea?"

Xiao Yi glanced lightly at her unpainted face and said, "It's up to the guest to do as he pleases."

"Then let's drink brown sugar and ginger tea." Jiang Miao took out the brown sugar that had been wrapped before and went to the kitchen to cut a few pieces of ginger and returned.

After a while, the room was filled with a sweet fragrance, which was a little pungent, but made people feel warm.

Xiao Yi watched her push the red water in front of her, and a spicy taste rushed into her nose.

Jiang Miao raised her eyes and looked at him intently, "Brown sugar is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach when it enters the spleen. I just got caught in the rain, so I just want to use brown sugar ginger tea to dispel the cold."

Xiao Yi asked her, "Have you studied medicine with Sun Zhenqing since you were a child?"

"No." Jiang Miao held the tea cup with both hands, and her hands quickly warmed up. "I only became a disciple this year."

Xiao Yi's eyes moved slightly. He was able to cure Yang Ye's illness in such a short time of studying medicine. His illness was something that even the imperial doctor and Sun Zhenqing were helpless to do. It seems that Jiang Miao is indeed gifted.

His eyes fell on the arrows placed in the corner, "Where's the cavalry shooting?"

The ginger tea was no longer hot, and Jiang Miao took a few sips. Her heart felt warm, and even the corners of her eyes were moist.

"This is a secret, Mr. Xiao."

"Ah, the sun is out."

Xiao Yi followed her voice and looked out the window. It was raining so heavily just now, but it suddenly stopped.

The late autumn sunlight came in through the window lattice and fell quietly on Jiang Miao, casting a warm glow on her face.

Jiang Miao raised her eyes and suddenly met Xiao Yi's eyes.

She was startled and asked subconsciously, "Have you had lunch, Mr. Xiao? It's getting late, why don't you stay and eat some? I've already made soup in the morning."

Xiao Yi pursed her thin lips slightly, "Is this a thank you gift?"

"Ah, no, this is the way to treat guests." Jiang Miao stood up and frowned, seeing that he didn't refuse, she walked towards the kitchen.

Xiao Qi, who was waiting outside the house, was shocked that the regent had stayed at a girl's house for such a long time. Although he was a little curious about what they were doing, as an excellent guard, he tried to put away his curiosity.

Jiang Miao brought up the casserole for stewing soup and scooped a bowl of yam bone soup for Xiao Yi.

"This is yam soup. The yam is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It can remove cold and replenish deficiency. Regular consumption can improve the hearing and eyesight."

"Master Xiao, try it and it will suit your appetite."

A rare smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face, "Miss Jiang has so many home remedies, which are to replenish deficiency and remove colds. Is this king so weak that I can't help but feel angry?"

"Ahem." Jiang Miao frowned, "I'm cold, I'm weak. Please use it."

Xiao Yi scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth. The yam was boiled until soft, with a strong aroma of bone soup, and a strong fragrance in his mouth.

He ate a lot of the delicacies in the imperial kitchen, but the yam soup today was really good.

His eyes fell on Jiang Miao's hands, and they were indeed not slender hands that were not stained with spring water.

She can ride and shoot, do medicine, and is quite good at cooking. There's nothing else she doesn't know how to do.

"Is the taste good?" Jiang Miao put down the bowl, "Of course it can't compare with the chef in Mr. Xiao's house."

After a bowl of yam soup, Xiao Yi felt that his heart was warmed up.

"There's no comparison."

He added seriously, "There's nothing you can do to make up for it."

Jiang Miao muttered to herself, this person is quite good at joking.

After drinking yam bone soup, Xiao Yi saw Jiang Miao bring another bowl of red dates and snow fungus soup.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What are you trying to make up for?"

Jiang Miao blinked, "It's just to satisfy my craving. I didn't have the conditions to eat it before, but now that life is getting better, I'm still very hungry."

In the last days, it is extremely difficult to have a bite of fresh food.

The original owner's family was poor and had never eaten such "good food".

The old wounds on her slender calves flashed through Xiao Yi's mind. There might also be scars in places he couldn't see. He became curious about the woman's past for the first time.

Jiang Miao suddenly remembered that she had improved many arrows with her own hands. She took Xiao Yi to the warehouse and raised her chin towards the arrows. "These are my improved arrows. The blades are thinner and sharper, and they have a longer range. Do you want to try it?"

"You might be able to use it at the Hakuba Hunting Grounds Hunting Conference"

Xiao Yi took out an arrow, crossed the arrow with his slender fingers, and nodded.

Jiang Miao sent him out, "If you like it, I can give you the recipe for improving arrows next time."

If used for hunting, it can increase his interest. If used in military camps, it can even improve the combat effectiveness of the army, which is easy to expand the territory.
  "A thank you gift for saving my life?"

"If you think it's okay."

"I owe it first."

"Oh"
