After Mu Mingtang fed Hsieh Hyun-chen, she started to eat the rest of the food. She had wasted a lot of time feeding the congee today. By the time she finished eating, the food was already cold. Mu Mingtang felt that it was a pity that she was being watched and could not use the kitchen. Otherwise, not only could she heat up the food at any time, she could also change Hsieh Hyun-chen's daily supplements.
He had slept for so long that his body was very thin. There was only a hard bone left on his wrist, and all the flesh had fallen off. Mu Mingtang's heart ached when she saw this. A patient could not be treated so harshly. If she could move freely, she would find a way to nourish his body.
Previously, when she was poor in Chenliu, she could find wild vegetables to nourish Granny Zhou's body. She did not expect that now that she did not have to worry about food and clothing and had plenty of money, she would not be able to prepare food for Hsieh Hyun-chen.
She sighed silently and quickly finished the food. Then she put the bowls and plates back into the food box. She deliberately pretended that she had a big appetite and took the food box out of the hall.
The good thing about being watched was that she did not have to worry about her three meals a day. Even the washing of the dishes was taken care of.
After Mu Mingtang put down the lunchboxes, she purposely waited for the people who came to clean up the lunchboxes. She asked for the soup, meat dishes, vegetables, and porridge in detail before letting them go. Mu Mingtang's requests were very trivial. She fully played the role of a wild chicken that turned into a phoenix.
When the soldier in charge of taking the food heard that she had so many requests, his eyebrows furrowed. Mu Mingtang saw this and immediately raised her eyebrows: "What, you don't want to? Don't forget that I am the wangfei. If you find it troublesome, then let me out. I will do it myself. "
The soldier turned back to look at the bodyguard captain. The bodyguard captain had been frowning the entire time. When he heard this, he waved his hand: "Leave. Do as wangfei says."
"Did you hear that? Do as I say!" Mu Mingtang raised her eyebrows proudly. She took an inch and wanted a mile. She said, "It's too troublesome to explain every day. In the future, I'll leave a list on the food box. You can take it back and cook according to the list. I don't know much about His Highness's medicinal cuisine, so I'll just follow the original process. However, I can't neglect my daily dishes. Otherwise, I'll … "
Mu Mingtang thought about how she should threaten him. She couldn't leave the fu right now, so it was impossible for her to report to the imperial court. If she tried to kill herself, it would be very stupid … … She suddenly had an idea and said, "Otherwise, I won't feed His Highness. You guys do as you see fit!"
Sure enough, the soldier's expression changed when he heard this. He stiffly agreed and hurriedly left with the food box. He had already walked quite a distance when Mu Mingtang reminded him from behind, "Don't forget the dishes I ordered tonight. Deliver them on time!"
The soldier's back stiffened, and he seemed to walk even faster. The head of the imperial bodyguards stood in the corridor and watched the whole process. He admired Mu Mingtang very much. After a person knew that they were imprisoned, who wouldn't tremble with fear and not be able to eat? However, Mu Mingtang still had the mood to order dishes.
Her life was now in the hands of others. How could she be so optimistic? The head of the imperial bodyguards stared at Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang sensed it, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it. She slammed the door.
People like them who had never struggled with food and clothing would not understand that as long as there was food to eat, people could live on no matter what. Now, she had clothes to wear and food to eat. There was someone to feed her on time, and there was a roof to shelter her from the wind and rain. This was already a treatment that she didn't even dare to imagine when she was fleeing. It was just that her movements were restricted. What was so difficult about it?
Moreover, the noble family was different from ordinary people. The Prince of Qiyang's fu was so desolate, but the cook's skills were still excellent.
After Mu Mingtang ordered the menu for tonight, she stood in the palace and had nothing to do. She was really bored sitting there, so she continued with the morning's work, cleaning the rooms in the east.
The sky gradually darkened. When it was time to eat, there was a noise outside. Mu Mingtang packed up and opened the door. The food box was already placed at the door.
Mu Mingtang immediately washed her hands and prepared to feed her dinner. As usual, she poured the bowl of medicinal porridge into the flower pot and murmured to herself, "Your Highness, you are now relying on my food to support you. I didn't expect that I would be able to support the famous Prince of Qiyang even though I didn't have much success for half my life. With this, I will have something to brag about when I meet my ancestors in the future. "
Mu Mingtang had been stifled for a day. Now that she could finally speak, she didn't speak with all her might. She took advantage of the fact that Hsieh Hyun-chen couldn't hear her. She talked nonsense and said whatever came to her mind. She had a good time talking. After she finished speaking, she helped Hsieh Hyun-chen up and fed him the porridge as usual. She found that Hsieh Hyun-chen wasn't very cooperative with eating.
… It was too difficult to take care of a gigolo.
Mu Mingtang patiently fed him the porridge bit by bit. After the bowl of porridge was finished, her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
It was obviously just feeding him, but it was more tiring than making a meal herself.
Mu Mingtang wiped the corners of his mouth clean and put Hsieh Hyun-chen back on the ground. Then, she ate by herself. The food had been sitting for so long that it was a bit cold.
The porridge that Hsieh Hyun-chen ate was hers. Moreover, this was a long-term business. If she wanted to get away with it, she had to make people think that she had a big appetite and needed a lot of food for every meal. Mu Mingtang was afraid that people outside would notice, so she turned over every dish and deliberately made it look like she ate every dish.
What happened after that was the same as at noon. She only needed to put the empty food box out. After a while, someone would come and clean it up.
Although it was summer, the interior of the Jade Qilin Hall was already dark. Mu Mingtang held a lantern and lit the palace lanterns in the sleeping chamber one by one. Halfway through, she suddenly turned around to look. The vermillion eaves were deep and the courtyard was deep. When Jade Qilin Hall was at its peak, all the lanterns were lit at the same time. What kind of magnificent scene would it have been?
Mu Mingtang smiled after thinking about it and continued with the work at hand. What did Jade Qilin Hall's past glory have to do with her? She had no chance to see Hsieh Hyun-chen at his peak. It was enough for her to be able to accompany him through his most helpless and needy moments.
Mu Mingtang spent a long time lighting the lanterns of Jade Qilin Hall from the westernmost to the easternmost. The lanterns were brightly lit and it looked quite lively. However, there were only the two of them in the hall from beginning to end.
When it was time to sleep, she still had to blow out the lanterns one by one. This trip took a lot of time just by walking. However, Mu Mingtang had nothing to do all day. If she didn't waste time, what else could she do?
By the time Mu Mingtang returned to the sleeping chamber, she was already tired from just walking. She placed the lantern on the high table beside the bed and sighed, "I used to hear that rich people would sweat just by walking around the house. I thought it was a joke. Now it seems that it's true."
Mu Mingtang turned around to look at the flickering lights in the main hall. She gently clicked her tongue and said, "But then again, living alone in such a big house is really scary."
It was dark. Mu Mingtang didn't dare to return to her small room. She could only stay by Hsieh Hyun-chen's bedside. Hsieh Hyun-chen was famous for his killing. Perhaps even evil spirits wouldn't dare to float by his side.
Mu Mingtang had nothing to do. She could only sit by Hsieh Hyun-chen's side and say whatever she thought of, "Prince Qiyang, so you are Marquis Wu 'an. I'm ashamed to say that you saved me, but I don't know the name of my benefactor. It was only when I arrived in the capital that I heard people talking about Prince Qiyang, Hsieh Hyun-chen. Xuanchen, heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the stars and constellations are lining up. It's a very nice name. When the late Emperor gave this name, he must have had great expectations for Prince Qiyang. Prince Qiyang didn't disappoint his parents. You are indeed like the stars in the sky, shining brightly. "
Speaking of names, Mu Mingtang couldn't help but think of her own. She said, "If that's the case, then I've lost in naming it. My birthday is on the first day of April. The midwife said it was a girl. My father saw that the begonia in the courtyard was blooming, so he patted his head and named me Mingtang. Fortunately, our family didn't plant any dog tail flowers. Otherwise, with my father's level of education, I would be miserable. "
"It is said that Jiang Mingwei's name is Caiwei. Caiwei, Caiwei, Wei also stop, day to day, year to year. As for Prince Jin, it probably means something like 'the sea accommodates all rivers and helps the world'. " The more Mu Mingtang said, the sadder she felt. She clapped her hands and said, "That's why people should study more. In the future, when I give my daughter a name, no matter what, I have to give her a nice and particular name."
"Only talking about a daughter and not a son, seems to be biased." After Mu Mingtang finished muttering, she was suddenly startled. Then, she laughed at herself, "What daughter and son? I'm afraid I won't have a child in this lifetime. If I really get pregnant, whether it's Prince Qiyang's or not, I won't be able to live. It's good to be alone for the rest of my life. It's quiet and quiet. Living in such a big house by myself, what's there to be dissatisfied with? "
Mu Mingtang lifted the quilt and gently looked at the wound on Hsieh Hyun-chen's wrist. She cleaned it carefully and changed the dressing frequently. The wound on her hand looked a lot better.
Mu Mingtang carefully covered the quilt and tucked him in: "Things in this world really can't be compared. Jiang Mingwei ran away from the marriage and can continue to be a Wangfei after she came back. As for me, I've been forced to do that. Jiang Mingwei just said a word and I had to make room for her. Life is really unfair. After they marry me, I estimate that Jiang Honghao will soon be promoted to the position of Prime Minister. In the future, when Jiang Mingwei becomes a Wangfei, who knows how glorious the Jiang family will be. I'm afraid I won't be able to see their family suffer in my lifetime. "
"However, this kind of thing can't be blamed on Jiang Mingwei. In marriage, as long as one of the men and woman is unwilling, the marriage can't be done. Jiang Mingwei can smoothly come back and be a Wangfei, to put it bluntly, it's because Prince Jin is willing. Prince Jin didn't investigate her disappearance, so why should others talk about it? It's good to be liked. When you're young, you pursue freedom. If you're tired of playing, you can still marry your childhood sweetheart. You're simply fearless. Why don't I have such an infatuated childhood sweetheart? "
Mu Mingtang sighed with emotion at Hsieh Hyun-chen for a long time. He was very regretful that he missed a good opportunity to cultivate his childhood sweetheart. She sighed and said: "But it's good to withdraw early. If it's not mine, it's useless to force it. It's also suspicious. These two golden boy and jade girl, their love is stronger than gold. They're more affectionate than the protagonists in dramas. I'm afraid I'm just an annoying clown to them. From the beginning, I was just a substitute, but I still didn't understand. I actually wanted to marry Xie Xuanji. Who is Xie Xuanji? Other than the destined Goddess, how can other women dream of him? "
Mu Mingtang really felt that Xie Xuanji's life trajectory was very inspirational. He pushed himself forward and rose step by step. He was like a person who achieved great things in history books. On the other hand, the two of them were not very positive.
Mu Mingtang was a little bit arrogant. He didn't have the slightest bit of happiness or sorrow like a big shot. As for Hsieh Hyun-chen, he was also very arrogant when he was in the limelight. He did things his own way and made a lot of enemies. He was not a character that the history books liked.
Mu Mingtang sighed: "No wonder. Prince Jin is getting higher and higher, and the two of us are like this. If there is a book, the male lead must be like Xie Xuanji. "
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he saw that it was already late. He held the lamp and stood up: "I'm going back to sleep. Benefactor, good night."
After Mu Mingtang left, Hsieh Hyun-chen's eyelashes moved, but in the end, he didn't have the strength to open them. Over the years, he slowly discovered that there was a problem with the medicine. After drinking it, people would become muddle-headed and fall into a deep sleep. After Hsieh Hyun-chen noticed the clues, he refused to drink the medicine again. Every time he woke up, he would break the medicine bowl. However, he hadn't moved for a long time, so he often couldn't control his strength. The person who fed him the medicine also had to rest.
Later, no one dared to feed him the medicine. Instead, they fed him porridge. Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't notice it at first, but after a long time, he discovered that there was medicine in the porridge.
He had no choice but to not touch the food. As a result, his body became weaker and weaker, and the time he was awake became less and less. Recently, he was awake for longer periods of time, but because he was too weak, he couldn't open his eyes. However, he could hear the movements of the outside world for two to four hours a day.
He could feel that there was a new maidservant in Jade Qilin Hall. Oh, maybe it wasn't a maidservant. Xie Rui had married a wife for him.
Hsieh Hyun-chen didn't believe any of the people sent by Xie Rui. However, this woman was different from what he imagined. At least, Hsieh Hyun-chen was satisfied with her change of porridge.
However, Hsieh Hyun-chen couldn't accept the words' gigolo 'and' living off a woman '. Moreover, what did she mean just now? If there is a book, why must the male lead be like Xie Xuanji?
