Chapter 287 The whole situation
On the other side, Liu Qing and Liu Hong were still dizzy after coming out of the palace.
The emperor knew very well what they needed. He rewarded Xinrong with all kinds of utensils that could show the favor of the royal family, while he rewarded Liu Qing and Liu Hong with gold and silver that could truly improve their lives.
Touching the ingot in his arms, Liu Qing said, "We didn't lose out on this beating."
Liu Hong hit him and said, "What are you talking about? Why didn't you dodge when Xiaoyanzi hit you? Go back and help me apply the medicine."
Liu Qing chuckled, "I'm a man, with thick skin and flesh, as long as you're okay."
Liu Hong also knew that her brother was better at fighting than her, and that he had only taken the whipping to protect her. She smiled slightly and said, "Next time we meet Mr. Xiao Yunxiang, let's just pretend we don't know each other, okay?"
Liu Qing was startled, knowing that his sister had made up her mind. "Okay, let's go back and discuss renovating the guesthouse later, shall we?"
In the past, they just wanted to make a living by doing business, and the people who usually came to take care of their business were ordinary people from the neighborhood, who had nothing to do with making a lot of money.
But now at least I have saved some money and received the emperor's reward, so I can try to decorate the guesthouse.
At the very least, it should look a bit more upscale so as to attract some dignitaries.
"I was just about to say that the princess praised our restaurant's delicious food today."
Since the princess and the others can eat it, it means that the general direction of the taste of their store is correct. As long as they do it well, there is no need to worry about not getting rich.
"Maybe next time they come we can ask them if there's anything they can improve."
"Hahaha, the princess said it was delicious, so she couldn't be trying to comfort us, right?"
Liu Hong patted Liu Qing on the head. "What are you thinking? I'm still trying to comfort you. How dare you be so arrogant!"
The two of them walked and discussed excitedly, full of anticipation for the future.
The atmosphere on Yongqi's side is completely different from that on the Liu brothers and sisters' side.
Yongqi was lying on the bed, still waiting for the doctor to arrive. He was in so much pain that he had no intention of talking.
The servants and maids were all busy running around, boiling water and looking for medicine and gauze, so that they could immediately treat the Fifth Prince's wound as soon as the doctor arrived.
The nanny was applying medicine to Xiaoyanzi. Perhaps her technique was not very gentle, or perhaps she hit her too hard, Xiaoyanzi kept crying, crying and shouting that the emperor was cruel.
It's so annoying.
Yongqi felt a little disappointed. This was the first time that the emperor had beaten him with a stick. Even when the incident of the real and fake princesses had caused such a big stir, the emperor had not suggested punishing him. It was his mother who took the initiative to suggest whipping him, and that was when he was punished.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time the emperor punished him physically.
As a result, he was punished twice in just one day.
This also made him wonder what the emperor was thinking when he ordered the whipping today. Was he sad or disappointed?
He was clearly the emperor's most beloved son, so how did it come to this?
Xiaoyanzi was still crying, "Yongqi, I don't want to learn the rules. Didn't you say that once you leave the palace and set up your own residence, the emperor won't be able to control you? Why do I still need to learn the rules? Can you think of a way?"
Yongqi's train of thought was interrupted. He looked at Xiaoyanzi helplessly and sighed. He couldn't even take care of himself now, so how could he take care of Xiaoyanzi?
Besides, the emperor meant to put Xiaoyanzi under house arrest, what else could he do?
Xinrong and Cailian both noticed the Fifth Prince's dissatisfaction. Looking at the Fifth Prince again, his upper body was bleeding from the whip, and his back was beaten so hard that half of the good flesh was gone. It was a creepy sight.
Even in such a situation, Xiaoyanzi doesn't care at all?
All she kept shouting from beginning to end was that she didn't want to be confined to her house and that the emperor was too cruel.
Cai Lian thought of this and took the opportunity to squeeze out two lines of tears and went to the bedside of the Fifth Prince. "Master, the doctor hasn't come yet. It's not good for you to wait like this. Why don't you let me help you treat the other whip wounds first?"
Looking at Cai Lian's red eyes, all those tears were shed for him.
Yongqi finally felt better.
It seems that the one who cares about him the most now is Cai Lian.
He nodded gently, "Thank you for your help, Cailian. The rest of you can go back first."
Xiaoyanzi had used the excuse of going to see Yongqi to avoid being locked up by the maids. Upon hearing this, she immediately jumped up and said, "I'm not going out. I want to stay here with you. You're so badly injured, how can you leave me?"
After saying that, Xiaoyanzi stepped forward and pushed Cailian away, reaching out to snatch the medicine from her hand. However, Xiaoyanzi forgot that her hand was very swollen and she couldn't touch anything at all.
Instead, he cried out in pain and fell on Cai Lian.
Cai Lian was caught off guard and knocked away by Xiao Yanzi. She was already standing unsteadily, and now she became Xiao Yanzi's meat cushion and was hit down. The two of them fell heavily to the ground.
Xiaoyanzi's hand was also hit hard and suffered secondary trauma.
This sudden change startled Yongqi so much that he almost jumped out of bed.
"Ah! My hand!" Little Swallow cried out in pain, but refused to get up from Cai Lian.
Cai Lian was pinned down by Xiao Yan Zi, and she had to endure it again and again to restrain the urge to kick her away.
Until Xinrong shouted: "Hurry up and pull them up!"
The nurses finally came to their senses and stepped forward to pull up Xiaoyanzi. The bandages they had just applied were unwound. The nurses sighed, "Look, my lord! This is why the Emperor sent this old slave to teach you. Even with the wound on your hand, it doesn't stop you from being so reckless. If you were to jump around, wouldn't you be about to blow the roof off the house?"
Hearing this, everyone in the room laughed. Except for the Fifth Prince, everyone thought that Xiaoyanzi was really unruly and should learn some etiquette.
Yongqi always thought that Xiaoyanzi was like this because it was her nature and her unique cuteness.
But now, looking at the mess in front of me, I have to admit that Xiaoyanzi can indeed overturn the roof, which is really irrefutable.
He just felt a terrible headache. His head hurt, and his body also hurt. There was no place on his body that didn't hurt.
"Okay! Xiaoyanzi, go back to your room!" Pain makes people irritable. At this time, he didn't even remember that Xiaoyanzi was not feeling well. He was almost dying of pain and needed to rest. How could he care about others?
Now Yongqi even felt that it was a good thing that the Emperor had confined Xiaoyanzi to her room, otherwise he would not be able to recover from his injury.
She could be asked to return to her room, but where would Xiaoyanzi have a room? She had been living in the Fifth Prince's courtyard these past few days, and now that the Emperor wanted to separate the two of them, she naturally couldn't live there.
Xinrong thought about it for a while and set aside a guest house for Xiaoyanzi to live in and learn the rules.
Yongqi has spoken, and even if Xiaoyanzi doesn't want to leave, she will have to be taken away by the maids. They want to teach Xiaoyanzi how to return to the palace as soon as possible, so the sooner they can start, the better.
After Xiaoyanzi left, Xinrong rubbed his shoulders and said, "Cailian, I'll trouble you to take care of the Fifth Prince here. I'll go back first."
Xinrong left leisurely. She was very happy today.
Seeing the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi being punished, she felt very happy. It was very difficult to hold back her laughter. She wanted to go back to her own yard and have a good laugh.
