Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Under Li Yuanzhao's scrutiny, Fang Zheng was "escorted" all the way to the Mingluan Hall.

As soon as they arrived at Mingluan Hall, Princess walked out slowly amidst Li Yuanzhao's loud calls.

Fang Zheng's breathing hitched slightly. Seeing the Princess this time gave him a different impression than before. Last time, the Princess was lying weakly on the bed, making people couldn't help but feel pity.

Now that she had recovered her health, she had a different charm, looking more youthful and lively, truly both pure and alluring.

Li Miaohan's pair of bright and beautiful eyes curiously sized up Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng quickly saluted: "This subject, Fang Zheng, greets Your Highness the Princess."

The Princess's clear voice rang in Fang Zheng's ears: "Lord Fang, you don't need to be so polite. This palace should be thanking you for your life-saving grace."

Fang Zheng raised his head, meeting Princess Li Miaohan's eyes. Li Miaohan smiled sweetly, showing even more charm.

"Thank you, Lord Fang, for your help and treatment. This palace has now fully recovered, and the back garden has also been renovated. Why doesn't Lord Fang come and see if there are any remaining problems?"

Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.

He had an excellent impression of Li Miaohan. She was the pinnacle of pure allure, born beautiful, with a gentle voice, and always a smile on her face. She seemed to have an excellent temper as well.

She was the type he liked.

It would be even better if Li Yuanzhao, who was eyeing him fiercely, wasn't there.

The three of them arrived in the back garden. The vibrant coral flowers that once filled the garden had disappeared, replaced by lush green trees.

Fang Zheng walked around twice pretending to inspect, then nodded in satisfaction and said: "Good! There are no major problems, except... this illness may have some sequelae. This subject also knows a little about medicine. If the Princess feels unwell, she can often seek treatment from this subject."

Li Yuanzhao's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.

Old Fang, you really dare to say that! This prince personally saw you poison more than fifty people with a medicine for lung disease, and you still dare to shamelessly say you know about medicine?

So he began to stare at Fang Zheng intently again.

This guy must have taken a fancy to my sister... Old Fang's mouth can convince anyone to do anything, can't let him mess around here!

The Princess covered her mouth and smiled: "Thank you, Lord Fang. This palace has been feeling a little unwell recently."

"Is it that your body often feels weak and easily fatigued? And your eyes have been a little sore recently?"

"Oh, Lord Fang is indeed amazing."

Fang Zheng laughed inwardly. How could she not be tired after lying down for so long? Did she think she was him? Walking on the ground must be tiring!

As for the sore eyes, that's how pollen allergies are, often dry and prone to rubbing the eyes.

Li Yuanzhao chuckled twice, no longer staring. He didn't expect Old Fang to actually know something...

Fang Zheng said: "Well, it's nothing. Let's sit down and talk."

The three of them sat in the pavilion. Fang Zheng looked at the Princess and suddenly had nothing to say. It seemed like there was really nothing to talk about.

The person he spent the most time with was Xiaotao, and they didn't usually chat much. The rest of the time was spent hanging out with a group of men.

He had a lot of theory stored in his brain, but when he faced the real deal, he panicked...

He couldn't just say I'm lusting after your body, could he...?

The two of them turned their gaze to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng had no choice but to speak first: "Your Highness the Princess, this illness still needs rest. Usually, you should drink more hot water when you have nothing to do...."

Li Yuanzhao's eyes immediately became sharp again.

Drink more hot water?! Isn't that what Old Fang taught me to say when pursuing a woman?

Sure enough, he hadn't given up!

Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zheng with a sneer: "Drink more hot water, then what?"

"Nothing.... Oh, it seems you can also add brown sugar."

"................."

The scene fell into an awkward silence, the most awkward being Fang Zheng.

Damn it, what were those words on the internet? Why was his memory from his previous life always failing him? He couldn't just say 'Are you there?', that would be too stupid.....

And what were those three sentences that warmed her all day? What were they?

The three of them fell into a long silence. Finally, Li Miaohan couldn't stand it anymore.

Pointing to the package Fang Zheng was carrying, she said: "Lord Fang, I see you're carrying a package with you. Is it filled with medicine?"

The silence was broken, and Fang Zheng was greatly relieved. He quickly took off the package and placed it on the table, opening it as he said: "Oh, no, it's a coincidence today. This is filled with some specialties from my Taoyuan County."

"The Princess can also try them, the taste is very........"

The package opened, and Fang Zheng's eyes widened... There were several sanitary napkins mixed inside.....

Xiaotao, that dead girl! He told her to pack specialties, why did she pack sanitary napkins?

Fang Zheng felt guilty, his eyes darting around. Then he pretended not to see them and took out a bag of candied fruit from the package.

"Princess, try this. This is candied fruit from my Taoyuan County. It tastes sweet and sour... and it's good for the body."

Li Yuanzhao didn't care about the candied fruit. As soon as he saw something novel in the package, he boldly pulled out a piece and played with it repeatedly in his hand.

"Old Fang! What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"..........., Can you guess?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao repeatedly studied the sanitary napkin, and seeing the four straps, he gestured a few times and felt that he had discovered the clue.

Then he smiled triumphantly: "Don't even think about stumping me... I once heard Father Emperor say that you told him that after a flood, there must be a major epidemic, and you need to cover your mouth and nose to prevent the epidemic."

"This thing has four straps, so it must be tied to the head, used to cover the mouth and nose, am I right!"

After speaking, he picked up the sanitary napkin and was about to put it on his head.

Fang Zheng broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pulled it down.

To be fair, this thing really did look a bit like a mask!

Just kidding, if you really put it on, would I still be able to sell it in the future? Wouldn't that be life-threatening!?

"Your Highness is wise... but this thing isn't used like this...."

Li Miaohan smiled and watched the two of them talk, then suddenly said: "Lord Fang, please tell us, this palace is also very curious."

Damn it! This situation can't be salvaged... so be it, there are plenty of women in the world!

Fang Zheng stammered: "This is called a sanitary napkin... its function is similar to a menstrual belt...."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Miaohan's pretty face turned red, even red to the roots of her ears. She lowered her head deeply, not saying a word.

Even the surrounding palace maids lowered their heads.

Li Yuanzhao was still relentlessly asking: "What's a menstrual belt? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Seeing this, Fang Zheng felt he might as well just give up and speak freely.

Pulling a long face, he said: "It's something women use when their period comes, you understand what I mean, right?".

After hearing him speak, Li Yuanzhao screamed strangely, immediately swept the sanitary napkin on the table to the ground, and frowned: "Old Fang, you're too perverted! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person?"

Fang Zheng glanced at him, then looked at Li Miaohan: "What kind of person am I? What do you know? This is a specialty of my Taoyuan County, I brought it for my Brother Guo!"
