Seeing Zhao Chengyuan's sincere eyes, at one moment Mu Jin almost wanted to really agree to him.
After all, who can resist a person who seems to have only himself in his heart?
However, while she was in a daze, another maid next to Concubine Qi came over at some point. The maid named Cuixi only pulled out a branch of viburnum from the viburnum tree, and then suddenly coughed lightly.
"Sister, you made it easy for me to find." Although there was a slight smile on Cui Xi's face, when she saw that Zhao Chengyuan was actually helping Mu Jin hold the medicine bowl, her eyes only flashed for a moment. Surprise and hostility.
If the maid next to her saw a prince here, she would have started to salute long ago.
However, when Cuixi saw Zhao Chengyuan, she had no intention of saluting. She only pretended to be surprised and asked why are you here? "
However, Zhao Chengyuan was not angry at Cuixi's rude behavior, or he had no idea of being angry at all. After all, he had always been easy-going since he was a child. Compared to Zhao Yanzhen's gentleness and courtesy, he really had no temper.
That's why the people below would never take Zhao Chengyuan seriously behind Concubine Qi's back.
After all, this prince is so easy to talk to, and now it is because this prince suddenly becomes thinner and more handsome.
In addition, after getting to know Lan Jue, the boss of Xiaochunshan, his clothes are much better than before.
Therefore, she was as arrogant as Cuixi before. Although she still has no intention of treating Zhao Chengyuan as a prince, she is much kinder to Zhao Chengyuan.
Zhao Chengyuan didn't know about Cui Xi's change in attitude. He just called softly, "Sister Cui Xi."
Cuixi smiled and walked closer and said, "Your Highness was just saying that His Highness was here to attend to the illness, but now no one is there. It turns out that His Highness is busy here, and His Highness is indeed benevolent and filial."
After saying this, she went to take the medicine bowl from Zhao Chengyuan's hand: "Your Highness, how can I let you do this kind of rough work?"
Cui Xi said this, but in fact, when Zhao Chengyuan was still young, Cui Xi did a lot of tormenting Zhao Chengyuan. Even if Zhao Chengyuan didn't take the initiative to help him with any work, she would still call Zhao Chengyuan like a servant.
Therefore, Zhao Chengyuan's attitude was completely shocked when Cuixi suddenly said this and came to help him.
When she reacted, Cuixi's hand was already on Zhao Chengyuan's.
How often had Zhao Chengyuan been in contact with a woman like this? Not even Mu Jin had ever held her hand, so Zhao Chengyuan immediately let go of his hand in a panic.
"No need." As soon as he finished his words, Cui Xi ignored Zhao Chengyuan's intention, so as soon as Zhao Chengyuan let go, the medicine bowl fell to the ground with a clatter, and even the freshly brewed medicine was sprinkled on it. on the ground.
Seeing the medicine bowl broken, Na Cuixi panicked.
Even Zhao Chengyuan was a little at a loss.
Cui Xi was afraid of taking responsibility, and subconsciously wanted to find a scapegoat, such as Zhao Chengyuan, who had failed to hold the bowl just now.
However, after seeing Zhao Chengyuan's face, the words she was about to blurt out subconsciously turned into pitiful words.
"Your Highness, the medicine is gone, what should we do?" Cuixi asked anxiously.
Zhao Chengyuan naturally did not want others to be punished, and he believed that the fault was that he did not hold the bowl firmly.
So he just took the initiative and said, "This is all my fault. I will go and apologize to my mother."
"How can I blame His Majesty for this? It's all my fault. If I didn't come to get the medicine bowl, I wouldn't have scared Your Majesty." Cui Xi said pitifully.
Zhao Chengyuan didn't know that Cui Xi was showing off, so he just continued to blame himself.
Hibiscus, on the other hand, didn't say anything. She just silently picked up the broken porcelain pieces from the broken medicine bowl on the floor.
Although Zhao Chengyuan was talking to Cui Xi, his eyes were always following Mu Jin's every move.
Seeing Mu Jin bending down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, if it were in the past, he would have helped Mu Jin pick up the broken porcelain pieces together. But now that Cui Xi is here, he has firmly remembered Lan Jue's instructions and cannot show off in front of others. Show your extraordinary help to Hibiscus, otherwise it will easily bring trouble to Hibiscus.
Therefore, although Zhao Chengyuan wanted to help Mu Jin pick up the broken porcelain pieces, he was afraid of causing trouble to Mu Jin.
But when she was picking up the broken porcelain pieces, her hand was cut by the porcelain pieces.
When the bright red blood beads rolled out from his fingertips, Zhao Chengyuan immediately squatted down nervously. He subconsciously grabbed Mu Jin's hand and licked the blood beads clean before Mu Jin was about to treat the wound.
When he realized it, Zhao Chengyuan looked at Mu Jin uneasily for a moment. He was so nervous just now that he forgot what Lan Jue had told him before. Fortunately, Mu Jin didn't look unusual at this time, and she didn't mean to be angry with him. , Zhao Chengyuan immediately said cautiously, "I see you are injured, so I want to help you treat the wound."
Hibiscus only whispered, "It's okay. Injuries are common. Besides, it's okay if this minor injury is left untreated. It'll be fine in no time."
However, Zhao Chengyuan said, "How can that be done?"
After saying that, he just took out the medicine bottle from his arms and sprinkled the hibiscus with medicine powder.
Seeing Zhao Chengyuan treating his wounds so seriously, he could only treat a small injury as a big deal. If Mu Jin said he was not moved, it would be a lie.
From the moment she entered the palace, she knew that this prince was a warm man. No matter in the past or now, no matter whether he was fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, in fact, what really attracted her was his sincerity and sincerity.
Seeing the intimate appearance of Mu Jin and Zhao Chengyuan as if no one else was watching, Cui Xi felt her heart churn. She felt that she was much more beautiful than Mu Jin, and she was also younger than Mu Jin.
However, this His Highness didn't even look at himself. When she thought of this, Cuixi's heart turned upside down.
Fortunately, Zhao Chengyuan only retracted his hand after helping Mu Jin briefly deal with some wounds.
Mujin didn't say anything else. She just continued to collect the porcelain tiles, while Zhao Chengyuan said, "Your hand is injured, let me help you deal with the wound."
After saying this, Zhao Chengyuan squatted down and began to clean up the porcelain tiles.
Cuixi was not happy to be ignored.
She coughed again, and Zhao Chengyuan finally seemed to realize that Cui Xi was still here, but he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he just looked at Cui Xi in confusion and said, "Sister Cui Xi, you have a cold and your throat is not feeling well." Comfortable?"
Cuixi was quite speechless after hearing what he said.
However, Zhao Chengyuan sincerely suggested to Cui Xi, "Eating loquat dew can reduce phlegm and relieve cough."
Cui Xi could only say, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but the medicine is gone. The princess is still waiting to take the medicine. What should we do now?"
Zhao Chengyuan immediately said, "I'll make some medicine."
Cuixi immediately said, "I'll go there with you."
While talking, the two seemed to be preparing to go to the pharmacy.
However, upon seeing this, Mu Jin suddenly said to the two of them, "Where are you going?"
She first glanced at Zhao Chengyuan and said, "Your Highness, you should go see Concubine Qi."
Then she turned to Cui Xi and said, "Cui Xi, I'm really sorry. Please go and tell Concubine Qi clearly. She said that I accidentally spilled the medicine, and I will make other decoctions right away, waiting for me When it’s done, send it to your mother-in-law immediately.”
Regarding Mu Jin's words, Cui Xi nodded cooperatively. Anyway, as long as Zhao Chengyuan was not with Mu Jin, she would be happy to support it.
But Zhao Chengyuan was obviously not so easy to deal with. He just said dissatisfiedly, "I'd better go with you to make medicine. You're injured and it's not convenient to deal with it."
After hearing what Zhao Chengyuan said, Mu Jin immediately refused and said, "It's not a serious injury. What's the inconvenience?"
"Yes, I'm just making some medicine. I want to see you too," Cui Xi said in support.
However, Zhao Chengyuan looked at Cui Xi and said, "Sister Cui Xi, please help me tell my mother and tell her that I will be there shortly. I want to help Sister Mujin treat the wound now."
If it were in the past, Cuixi would definitely tell Zhao Chengyuan after hearing this. Go and tell him, I don't want to run away in vain.
However, she did not do so today. She only said, "Well, since His Highness must be with Hibiscus, then you can be together. I will just go and talk to the Queen."
Zhao Chengyuan didn't hear Cui Xi's weirdness at all, and thought Cui Xi really wanted to help him, so he immediately
He happily said to Cuixi, "Thank you, sister Cuixi."
Hibiscus was a little speechless, but immediately said, "What do you mean we are together?"
Cuixi just rolled her eyes at Hibiscus and said, "Whatever you think it means is what it means."
After saying this. She didn't bother to pay attention to Hibiscus.
And when she left Hibiscus, Cuixi went to the inner hall of the Winter Palace.
At this time, Concubine Qi was lying on the couch, her face a little pale. She thought it was Zhao Chengyuan who came over, and didn't want to open the curtain, but there was only Cui Xi with empty hands.
So she just said, "Cuixi, where is Chengyuan?"
Cui Xi was secretly resentful in her heart. After hearing Concubine Qi's question, she immediately took the initiative and said, "In reply to your concubine, Your Highness is in the pharmacy at the moment."
"Why did this child run to the pharmacy?" Concubine Qi didn't think much and just seemed to be annoyed.
"It's not that His Highness wanted to run to the pharmacy. It was Mu Jin who insisted that His Highness stay and help her make the medicine again." Cuixi twisted the facts.
Concubine Qi didn't want to think about it, but she just said indifferently, "Oh, but why hasn't the medicine been boiled yet? It couldn't be that Chengyuan doesn't know how to boil medicine and has dried it up."
Thinking of this, Concubine Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Concubine Qi who was not angry like this, Cui Xi felt very jealous. After all, whether it was Zhao Chengyuan or Concubine Qi, the mother and son seemed to value Mujin more. Even though Hibiscus is so arrogant. .
Thinking of this, Cui Xi only continued, "It's not that His Highness did anything. It's because Hibiscus didn't take the medicine bowl properly. She dropped the medicine bowl and spilled the medicine. That's why the time was wasted and the queen hasn't been able to drink the medicine yet." .”
