NABC Chapter 375: Care and Attention
Chapter 375: Care and Attention
Nan Rongrui could not help but sigh softly, thinking that he was the director of the Imperial Hospital and he usually had the final say, but in front of this person he could only be humble and let the other party toss him around.
Thinking of what the patriarch had told him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Your Highness, could you please let me take a look at your injured leg?
Our master has always been concerned about your leg injury. He has been searching for rare medicinal herbs since you were injured and has never given up the idea of treating you."
"scoff~"
An undisguised sneer echoed in the study, and Xuanyuan Yan suddenly crossed his legs, with his right leg swinging in the air.
He glanced at the person opposite him and said coldly:
"What the director is saying is that your medical skills are better than my uncle Nanrong's? You can heal the injuries that he can't?
In this case, tomorrow I will ask my father to remove the title of my uncle as a miracle doctor and give it to you, so that he won't be bothered by the title and unable to concentrate on studying medicine."
He deliberately emphasized the four words "study medicine" with extra emphasis, like a rock pressing on Nan Rongrui's heart, making him feel a little breathless.
This is a naked mockery of him!
Even though Nan Rongrui had made sufficient mental preparation before coming, he still did not expect that the Third Prince would be so good at verbal arguments, and every word he said would hit him right in the heart!
His face was pale and blue, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and he forced a smile and said:
"Your Highness, you are joking. How can my medical skills compare to those of Dr. Nanrong? It's just that the master of the family is really worried about your leg injury, so he ordered me to take a closer look at you no matter what.
As the saying goes, 'many hands make light work'. Since the miracle doctor is helpless, why don't you give me a chance?
Otherwise, we can still post a notice to seek medical help. We should never give up any possibility."
Putting his raised right leg down, Xuanyuan Yan stood up and limped back and forth in front of Nan Rongrui, then said sarcastically:
"Have you really never given up? Isn't it because my good fifth brother has lost hope of winning that you think of me, the lame prince?
It seems that the Nanrong family is not only good at medicine, but also good at being fence-sitters. "
Nan Rongrui's face flashed with obvious ugliness after hearing this, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore and retorted:
"Third Prince, please be careful with your words! After all, the Nanrong family is your mother's family. How can you say such hurtful words?!"
"Why not? Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at this king?!
If you don’t want this prince and the Nanrong family to have a bad time, you’d better shut up and get out now, otherwise…”
With a "click" sound, Xuanyuan Yan easily broke off a corner of the coffee table with his bare hands and threw it at the other person's feet.
Nan Rongrui stumbled back a few steps in shock, his face pale, but he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking:
"Please calm down, Your Highness. It's all my fault for not being able to convey the master's intentions. Before I left, the master told me that he would come to talk to you in person someday.
The Nanrong family is your blood relative, and will stand by your side no matter what happens."
After saying this, he said goodbye and hurriedly left the study.
Xuanyuan Yan looked at his departing back and sneered in his heart. He knew the ambitions of the Nanrong family and their purpose, but he would never become a tool for them to fight for power!
If his grandfather still refuses to repent, he doesn't mind making the entire Nanrong family pay for his mistakes!
There was a familiar knock on the door in the study, and his originally gloomy mood immediately dissipated. He cleared his throat and said:
"Enter."
When the lily-green figure pushed the door open and walked in, he said apologetically:
"But are you impatient waiting? You must be starving, let's go have lunch now."
Shangguan Qingyue rubbed her aching stomach and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She lived a very fulfilling life every day, which consumed a lot of energy, so her appetite remained high.
It is also because of this that they cannot stand hunger.
But as soon as the two stepped out of the study, they saw a young eunuch running towards them. It was obvious that this man was a martial artist. He ran very fast in the hot weather but his breathing was always steady.
He knelt respectfully in front of the two and said:
"I greet Prince Yong'an and Princess Changning. The Emperor and Empress invite you to have lunch together in the main courtyard."
Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes. As soon as Nan Rongrui left, his father sent someone over. It seemed that this lunch was destined to be unpleasant.
The eunuch accompanied the two men and took the initiative to say along the way:
"The Emperor and the Empress went to pick lotus seeds, lotus flowers, and lotus leaves today, saying they were going to prepare a lotus feast.
I can't help drooling just listening to this. The two masters will surely enjoy a feast for the eyes."
Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help swallowing after hearing this. She had never eaten imperial food before and didn't know how delicious it would be.
Xuanyuan Yan, who was originally tense, immediately relaxed his expression upon seeing this, and his mood suddenly became clear at this moment.
Since he has done nothing wrong, he is not afraid of any temptation or suspicion. He will take Qingqing away from this place as soon as possible.
By then, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly and the sea will be wide enough for fish to jump. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it!
Before the two of them stepped into the hall, a refreshing fragrance filled their noses. Then they heard the Queen's faintly excited voice coming from inside:
"But A-Yue is here? The food is all served, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
The man had already reached the door, but he ignored the tall and strong Xuanyuan Yan, took Shangguan Qingyue's hand and walked inside.
Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had never known that his cold and distant mother could be so warm and welcoming.
How can one person have two such contradictory faces?
In fact, isn't he the same?
The maids in the Third Prince's Mansion, ever since they saw how their master got along with the future mistress, had given up the idea of becoming a phoenix and becoming rich.
The look in his eyes that seemed as if he wanted to stick to the other person all the time, and that sickeningly sweet expression, were completely different from the Third Prince they were familiar with!
If you still don't give up, you'd be a fool.
Because of the hot weather, there were a lot of cold dishes on the table, and delicately cut fruits were placed on the lotus leaves, which looked very tempting.
After seeing the Emperor and Empress picking up their chopsticks, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't wait to raise her hand to grab some jade preserved fruits from a plate, but was suddenly blocked by another pair of chopsticks halfway.
This person is naturally Xuanyuan Yan.
The little girl looked aggrieved. She was so hungry, why didn't she let anyone eat? !
Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and handed her a bowl of steaming hot lotus-scented melon bird's nest, explaining:
"Don't eat cold food these days. This bird's nest has absorbed the sweetness of the cantaloupe and has no sugar. It should be just what you like. Would you like to try it?"
Emperor Mingde felt mixed emotions watching his son's coaxing behavior. Empress Chen also felt a little sour in her back teeth, so she couldn't help asking:
"Ayue is not feeling well? Why can't she even eat this preserved fruit?"
Shangguan Qingyue didn't understand, and replied foolishly: "I don't know either."
Queen Chen couldn't help laughing.
"You are such a careless kid. How come you don't even know that you are feeling unwell? Yan'er, tell me, what is going on?"
Xuanyuan Yan was somewhat helpless, and could only explain awkwardly with red ears:
"I heard that it is best for women not to stay in the cold when they are about to have their period, so I have to remind you. Please forgive me for making you laugh."
The Queen was so surprised that she almost couldn't hold the silver chopsticks in her hand. Could it be that this child even remembered his fiancée's daily life? !
After hearing Xuanyuan Yan's words, Shangguan Qingyue's face instantly turned red with shame. She lowered her head and muttered softly: "So that's how it is. I never took it to heart..."
She has always been in good health, and she doesn't feel much pain every time she has her period. Except for missing her daily morning run, she can do anything else.
But I never thought that the other person, a grown man, could be so considerate.
The feeling of being cared for and pampered wholeheartedly was so wonderful that the sweetness that surged in her heart made her feel as if she had drunk alcohol and she felt a little dizzy.
Emperor Mingde felt mixed emotions. Was his son too infatuated? How could he remember such a thing?
Seeing this, Empress Chen smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Yan'er is really considerate. Ah Yue, you are so lucky to have such a considerate fiancé."
Shangguan Qingyue's face became even hotter after hearing this, but she was not a shy person, so she raised her chin slightly with a little pride and nodded very seriously.
"What the Queen said is true. I will definitely treat A-Yan well and will never let him down for his kindness to me!"
The hand on her leg was suddenly held tightly by someone. The girl immediately shook the hand back without hesitation and playfully tickled the other person's palm with her fingers.
Perhaps because he was interrupted by this episode, Emperor Mingde did not say much. Empress Chen was influenced by Shangguan Qingyue's good appetite and ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
Emperor Mingde was delighted upon seeing this, and decided on the spot to let the little girl eat with the empress every day.
Xuanyuan Yan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, suddenly felt a little indigestion...
