Although Yan Zui was his reading companion, to a certain extent, Gu Cheng really didn't dare to make trouble with Yan Zui.
After all, this guy's status is not lower than him, he just has the title of his companion.
Gu Cheng once suspected that it was His Majesty who gave Yan Zhui the gift to study at the Imperial College, so he never took Qiao in front of Yan Zhui.
Even because of his ungrateful character, he was often scolded by Yan Zui, which was really frustrating.
Feeling aggrieved, Gu Cheng also knew that what he just said was indeed a bit unreasonable, so he obediently made a gesture of closing his mouth.
But her eyes still lingered on Gu Xuan unwillingly, pleading with her eyes not to tell the story.
Otherwise, the two of them would really be able to drink a pot.
Especially him.
Gu Cheng didn't want to be whipped by his father for being such an adult. If word spread, his reputation would be ruined.
"Don't worry." Before Yan Zui said anything, Gu Xuan promised him first: "I have nothing to do with telling my father what to do. You are shameless, and I still want to be."
It was impossible for Gu Xuan to expose such a matter to her father. She didn't have the chance to say this. Even if she had the chance, what was her father's purpose in telling her such things?
Only Gu Cheng would be so worried, and Yan Zui would not think so.
It is probably for this reason that Yan Zui has a good relationship with Gu Cheng. Maybe smart people want to find someone who is not so smart as a friend.
"That's good." Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. The roast chicken was ready at this time. He dug the roast chicken out of the ground with a smile, broke off the tenderest chicken legs and handed them to Gu Xuan:
"Sister A-Xuan, I'll give you the most tender chicken legs, they're delicious."
Gu Xuan had experienced Gu Cheng's craftsmanship before and knew that although he was a prince, his craftsmanship was very good. Gu Xuan's saliva started to flow almost instantly.
The three of them feasted here. The chicken was really too big. If Aunt Sun and Aunt Li hadn't insisted on not wanting it, they might have been able to eat some.
It's a pity that the two nuns abide by the rules and don't want to eat anything.
In the end, the chicken was enough for three people to eat, and they didn't even eat much for dinner.
When Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty saw that his daughter ate so little, he thought it was because she didn't like the food on the table, so he specially gave her a chopstick dish:
"Why did you eat so little today?"
It's okay if the food isn't to your liking, but I'm afraid my daughter is not feeling well in some way.
"I ate some outside. I'm not hungry." Gu Xuan refused with a smile: "Dad, please eat slowly, I won't eat anymore."
Han Xianzong knew that she liked to play outside with Yan Zui and Gu Cheng, and she probably ate a lot of snacks outside, so he smiled helplessly:
"It's fun for you, but you have to eat less food from outside, otherwise what will happen if you get a bad stomach?"
"I know, I know!" Gu Xuan jumped towards the outside. Although her voice was soft, her movements were not slow at all.
"This child," Han Xianzong laughed, "is not the same as before in the palace."
"That's what the master said," Laifu, who was doing his best to prepare the dishes beside him, couldn't help but laugh:
"Before, in the palace, the lady was not allowed to go out for a walk every day. Naturally, the situation outside the palace is different. When I see the lady looking at these novelties, the smile on my face is much brighter."
Since the last time Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty beat him up, he changed his name to "Master" and "Ms." and remembered them firmly every day, even now.
But what he said made sense, and Han Xianzong nodded.
It was a rare occasion for him to come out to play, so he took Gu Xuan with him just so that she could come out and be happy and not stay confined in the palace all the time.
It seemed like he had lived up to his intention of bringing her out.
Han Xianzong didn't know that what he just told his daughter was a joke, but it turned out to be a prophecy.
The group stayed at the county government office for another day. Gu Xuan spent the whole day drinking with Gu Chengyan. She didn't know whether Han Xianzong and the ministers had gone to see the prefect.
On the other hand, she started to have vomiting and diarrhea for no reason on the second day. Now she couldn't even get out of bed, let alone go out and fool around.
Lin Yuanzhi knew that Gu Xuan had a distinguished status. When he heard that she had vomiting and diarrhea, he was so anxious that he quickly went to invite the doctor from Miaoshou Hall.
You must not let anything happen to this young lady, otherwise how can you explain yourself?
However, the doctor he paid a lot of money for did not see Gu Xuan at all. There was also an imperial doctor accompanying him.
When she discovered that Gu Xuan was unwell, Grandma Sun went to call for Dr. Zhang, who was now sitting by the bed and diagnosing Gu Xuan's pulse.
"Doctor, what's wrong with Miss?" Grandma Li was worried.
She was fine at noon, but she suddenly suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, which frightened both her and Grandma Li.
"Did the lady eat something cold in nature?" Doctor Zhang frowned in suspicion.
Grandma Li and Grandma Sun looked at each other, both of them a little unsure.
If in the palace, the princess ate a few pieces of pastries, they would all remember them as treasures. But after leaving the palace, the princess's food was very complicated. Although they followed her all the time, they still had to think carefully.
"I just ate a few pastries." Gu Xuan knew it well: "I didn't have any problems when I ate other things. But after eating the pastries, I felt like vomiting and my stomach hurt."
"Pastry?" Grandma Li and Grandma Sun looked at each other in confusion. After a while, they woke up from a dream. As if they suddenly reacted, they brought over a plate of pastries beside the table:
"Doctor, please take a look, is there something wrong with this plate of pastries?"
Zhang Tai is knowledgeable in medicine and has his own way of distinguishing what to eat. He first took out the silver needle to test it and confirmed that it was not poisonous before breaking open the pastry.
The pastry was broken into pieces and crumbled on his fingertips. He brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully.
Grandma Sun and Grandma Li did not dare to disturb, and just watched nervously from the side.
Gu Xuan was lying on the bed looking miserable. She felt her chest was tight and her stomach hurt so much that she didn't want to talk at all.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhang quickly came to a conclusion: "There are a lot of persimmons added to this pastry. It is normal to feel uncomfortable after eating too much, but..."
Logically speaking, cakes made from persimmons shouldn’t be so good!
Did it take effect so quickly?
He is responsible for Gu Xuan's Ping'an pulse. He knows that the eldest princess is not a person with a weak spleen and stomach. Everyone in Weiyang Palace has taken good care of her and she is in very good health.
"Ah?" Without waiting for Grandma Li and Grandma Sun to ask questions, Gu Xuan looked surprised: "Is it a persimmon cake? What I ate is obviously a crab cake."
"That's it," Doctor Zhang's originally somewhat confused expression was clarified at this moment. He relaxed and suddenly realized:
"If it is just one kind of cold food, the effect will probably not be so good, but if you mix several kinds together, the effect will be outstanding."
"These persimmons and crabs are both products of the great cold. If the lady uses them, she will naturally feel uncomfortable."
