Chapter 30 Fighting
In just ten miles, Zhao Yan and the others walked for more than an hour. When they arrived at the other courtyard, it was already Xu, which was around eight o'clock. The last section of the road was very difficult to walk, and there were many uphills, so basically Zhao Yan and the others carried the carriage with their shoulders. When they arrived at the other courtyard, Zhao Yan felt that his two shoulders were burning and their skin was probably broken, and their whole body seemed to be falling apart. However, in order to maintain the demeanor of his prince, Zhao Yan still forced himself to not lie down.
Lao Fu is a personal spirit, and he had long seen that Zhao Yan was holding on, so as soon as he arrived in the other yard, he immediately asked someone to help Zhao Yan in the room to rest and prepare a bath so that he could take a good bath to relieve his fatigue. However, Zhao Yan was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he sat on the chair.
"Hiss~, it hurts so much!" Zhao Yan, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a stinging pain in his shoulders, which made him open his eyes immediately. He found that he had already lying in the bathtub, and his body was stripped naked. Xiao Douya stood next to the bathtub and was wiping his shoulders with a towel. It was already red and swollen, and it was also broken. It hurts when he touched the water.
"I'm sorry, Prince, Xiao Douya accidentally touched your wound!" Xiao Douya hurriedly apologized, his cute little face full of heartache and guilt.
"Haha, it's okay, how long have I slept?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.
"The prince has only slept for a while. Just now, the fourth sister and I came in and saw the prince sleeping on the chair covered in mud. The fourth sister and I helped the prince take off his clothes and put it in the bathtub. Now she is going to prepare dinner for the prince!" Xiao Douya carefully wiped Zhao Yan's back and answered.
"What?" Zhao Yan took out his ears in disbelief, "Xiao Douya, are you sure that Cao Ying and you helped me take off their clothes?"
Xiao Douya is Zhao Yan's personal maid, so it is normal for him to take off his clothes and take a bath. At the beginning, Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed, but now he is getting used to it. However, today Cao Ying actually helped him take off his clothes, which made Zhao Yan really unbelievable.
"Hehe, the prince was sleeping heavily at that time, and I couldn't lift it. Mixue and the wet nurse were busy moving things from the car to organize the house, so they could only ask the fourth sister to help. When I saw the fourth sister's face turned red!" Xiao Douya smiled mischievously. The little girls in ancient times were precocious, and even a simple girl like Xiao Douya had already vaguely known about men and women.
"I'm at a loss when she sees everything in her body?" Zhao Yan muttered in a low voice, and at the same time she was very confused. With Cao Ying's annoyance towards him and her stubborn personality, how could she help Xiao Douya take off her clothes? Could it be that she has been conquered by her personal charm and changed her view of herself?
I won't think about things I can't figure out for the time being. This is one of Zhao Yan's biggest advantages. His sleepy body took a beautiful bath under the service of Xiao Douya, which made Zhao Yan feel extremely relaxed. When he put on his clothes, Mixue also brought his supper. What surprised Zhao Yan even more was that today's supper was very different from before. Although it was still green vegetables and tofu, green vegetables and tofu were both stir-fried dishes, not the previous boiled dishes. In addition, there was a plate of fried bean sprouts and fried eggs. Although there was still no meat, it was already very rich compared to the previous meals.
Zhao Yan was also very hungry and did not ask why the food today was different. He threw it on the table and stuffed it hard. After he stuffed four plates of dishes and two large bowls of rice into his stomach, he was satisfied with his fill. This may be the most comfortable meal he had eaten after traveling to the Song Dynasty.
"By the way, why didn't I see Cao Ying?" Zhao Yan asked Mixue, who was packing up his things. In the past, when he was having dinner, Cao Ying would monitor him before leaving after eating.
"The princess's illness has not yet recovered. She has been riding for so long today and is very tired, so she has fallen asleep now!" Mixue replied softly.
"Where does she live? I'll go and see!" Zhao Yan asked.
"This..." Mixue was stunned at first, but thought that Cao Ying's illness was not completely cured, and now she had to rely on Zhao Yan for treatment. As a doctor, it was normal to visit the patient, so she answered, "Qi Bi, Princess, the princess lives in the room next to you."
After hearing this, Zhao Yan nodded and asked Xiao Douya and Mixue to have dinner. He came to Cao Ying's room. The maid in the room saw Zhao Yan coming in. Although they knew that the princess didn't like the prince, they did not dare to stop him. This made Zhao Yan come to Cao Ying's bedroom very smoothly.
On a brocade bed, Cao Ying, who was as beautiful as a fairy, was wearing a white nightgown, with black hair scattered beside the pillow, lying there like a sleeping angel. Although Zhao Yan knew that the other party didn't like him, when he saw Cao Ying's beauty, he couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart.
Zhao Yan was not here to admire the sleeping beauty. He calmed down and walked to Cao Ying's bed to look at him. He found that the other party was breathing as usual and his expression was not abnormal. He stretched out his hand and touched Cao Ying's forehead. He found that the other party did not have a fever. This made Zhao Yan finally relieved. Finally, he covered Cao Ying with a blanket and turned around and left the bedroom. However, as soon as Zhao Yan walked out of Cao Ying's room, a strange smile appeared on his face and said, "Little girl, she actually pretended to be asleep with me, it's interesting!"
Hearing Zhao Yan left her room, Cao Ying on the bed finally opened her eyes slowly. She reached out and touched her forehead, then looked at the cover of the quilt on her body, and a hint of melancholy appeared on her face.
Cao Ying felt very confused. Zhao Yan is very good in all aspects now, which is a world of difference from Zhao Yan before. However, Cao Ying has a deep prejudice against Zhao Yan, especially what happened on the wedding night, which made Cao Ying unable to forgive Zhao Yan. This made Cao Ying feel very confused when facing a brand new Zhao Yan, and didn't know how to get along with Zhao Yan?
Cao Ying tossed and turned in the bed and couldn't sleep. Zhao Yan, who was tired and sleepy next door, slept very sweetly. When he got up early the next morning, he opened the window and looked around. He found that although it was still raining outside, the rain was much smaller. This made Zhao Yan feel a little relieved. Then, according to the habit he developed this month, he slowly practiced a set of Tai Chi for fitness.
Today's breakfast was similar to last night. Although the ingredients for cooking had not changed, they all turned into cooking, which was more suitable for Zhao Yan's appetite. However, Cao Ying still did not come out to eat breakfast under the pretext of being sick. Zhao Yan did not ask much about this. Anyway, he had to give Cao Ying an injection in the morning and would always see him.
"Prince Prince, Butler Lu just sent someone to ask if you are free. If you have time, Butler Lu wants to take you to visit the villa. In addition, the village head in the village outside the villa also wants to see the prince?" Xiao Douya saw that Zhao Yan had finished his meal, and then he reported.
"Haha, this is a coincidence. I just wanted to visit this villa, so you asked Lao Fu to come to the restaurant and then he would take me to visit. As for the village head, it would not be too late to see you when you have time!" Zhao Yan said enthusiastically. In his opinion, this villa is actually his own country villa. Although the prince's mansion in Kaifeng City is more luxurious, in Zhao Yan's opinion, it is still the most comfortable to live in this country villa.
Xiao Douya agreed and brought Lao Fu in a short while. The villa was originally bought by Lao Fu, so he was very familiar with this place. He started from the inner house and took Zhao Yansan to visit the villa.
The entire villa is smaller than the Prince's Mansion, but in Zhao Yan's opinion, the area of this villa is no longer small. There are nine yards in the inner house alone. He and Cao Ying only lived in one of them, and the rest were all distributed to the wet nurse and a few female managers. There was also a garden with a huge area, with pavilions, towers, streams, waters and ponds, but no one was repaired in the garden, which seemed a bit desolate.
The front yard is larger than the inner house. In addition to the front hall and the wing rooms on both sides, there are also servant rooms, kitchens, warehouses, etc. It can be said that this place can be used as a place for a large family to live in.
"Lao Fu, this villa is so large and the courtyard is so grand. How did you buy it?" After visiting the villa, Zhao Yan asked Lao Fu next to him with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, this was originally a place for retirement built by officials, but the official was not open to his eyes and offended the powerful and powerful in the court. He was sent to Lingnan as an official all at once. He would never come back in his life, so he sold this yard at a low price. The villain under the banner of the monarch, and other buyers were also very sensible. In the end, this yard fell into the name of our monarch's mansion." Lao Fu said with a smile.
"Yes, as long as I didn't come from tricks, I will feel relieved!" Zhao Yan nodded with a smile, but his words caused Lao Fu to be surprised. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Yan unable to speak. The prince who used to like tricks and robberies suddenly changed his temperament, which made Lao Fu very uncomfortable.
