The nine princesses of the East Palace

The delicious dishes were served quickly. I was not hungry at first, but when I smelled the aroma, I became hungry.

"Eat. I think your saliva is about to flow out." Li Cheng Yin smiled.

I wiped my mouth subconsciously, but there was nothing, "You're just drooling." I stared at him.

He laughed louder. I grabbed a lamb chop and stuffed it into his mouth, watching him still laughing.

He stopped laughing now, frowned, screamed, and shouted vaguely: "Hot..."

I quickly picked up a bowl and handed it over, saying: "Spit it out when it's hot." If he gets scalded, I have nothing good to eat.

But he puffed up his cheeks, chewed the lamb chops, chewed the lamb chops clean, and only spit out the bones, "It's not hot now, it's delicious, no wonder you like it."

I took the bowl back, put it on the table with a bang, and sat down to eat on my own, ignoring him.

I tasted the roasted mandarin duck first, it was fragrant and crunchy, better than what I ate at the Empress Dowager's place, the grilled lamb chops were also good, as for the steamed crab, I was at a loss as to what to do, I stretched out my hand and broke it A crab leg came down, tilted his head and saw Li Chengyin was leaning on the couch, looking at me with a half-smile.

I quickly put down the crab legs, picked up the crab-eating tool on the side, and imitated what he did last time, first cut off the crab claws, then cut off the crab legs, then uncovered the crab shell, and took out the crab meat one by one... Now he can't make fun of me. Although my movements are not as proficient as his, I can be considered orderly.

The cooking skills of the imperial chef in the Eastern Palace are really good, and they are all dishes that I like to eat. I didn't realize that Li Chengyin hadn't eaten until I was full.

"Li Chengyin, what do you want to eat? I'll help you get it." I was full, and my mood immediately improved, and I didn't care about him making fun of me anymore.

Li Chengyin said: "I drink porridge."

I looked at the table, but I didn't see any porridge, just wondering, Li Chengyin said: "My porridge is not ready yet."

"Then these dishes..."

He said, "Here's something to eat."

I couldn't help but glanced at the dishes on that table again, thinking that in his eyes, I would probably only eat, "Give me so many dishes to eat by myself, will I be raised like a pig?"

As soon as I finished speaking, he smiled and said, "That's right, I just treat you like a pig."

I said angrily: "Don't think that I dare not beat you." If it weren't for seeing how badly he was injured, pitifully, I would have fought him and beaten him into a pig's head.

Li Chengyin said: "You really can't hit me, otherwise if my father finds out, maybe Longyan will be furious, and maybe even send troops to attack your Xizhou."

I don't know if he was joking, but the emperor seems to have a bad temper. Even his own son can be beaten like this. If we Xizhou has something in his hands, maybe he will really send troops to attack us.

"If you don't hit me, don't hit me. You're so hard that it hurts my hands when I hit you." I said.

He just laughed and didn't speak, probably because his back hurts from lying down, and he is lying on his stomach at the moment.

"Your Highness, the porridge is ready." Shi En shouted from outside the hall.

"Bring it in." Li Chengyin said.

Shi En came in with a bowl of porridge, which was filled with white rice porridge, nothing was added.

"Are you going to eat this?" I asked.

Li Chengyin nodded.

Shi En said: "Princess Ninth, it's like this. The imperial physician told you that His Highness must eat light food for a period of time and not eat hair, otherwise it will be harmful to the body."

"Well, that's it." I asked, "Then, does lamb chops count as hair?"

Shi En said, "Forget it, mutton is a hot thing."

"Then if you are injured, what will happen if you eat mutton?" I asked again.

Shi En said: "Although mutton is fat, if you just have a wound on your body, eating some of it should be fine."

After listening to his words, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Chengyin developed a fever after eating lamb chops, I would be guilty of a serious crime.

Shi En brought the porridge in front of Li Cheng Yin, Li Cheng Yin stood up with difficulty, picked up the bowl and drank it, put the bowl back, and said to Shi En: "Find a reliable person and send the Ninth Princess Go back to Yufu Palace, don't let people know that the ninth princess has come to me, you understand?"

"The servant knows." Shi En said.

I followed Shi En to the door, then turned around and said, "Then I went back?"

Li Chengyin grinned, showing his white teeth: "If you don't want to go back, I have a place for you to sleep here."

After I listened, I strode away without looking back.

Back at Yufu Palace, Yong Niang was waiting there anxiously, "Princess Ninth, why did you come back? It's time for bedtime, but the servant girl is in a hurry. Di Mo, hurry up and prepare hot water. The princess has taken a bath, so she can sleep well."

Yong Niang is the female official in charge of Yufu Palace. She is in charge of all the big and small matters in the palace. Di Mo often listens to her. Whenever she speaks, Di Mo immediately goes to prepare water.

Yong Niang said again: "Princess must not come back so late next time, if His Majesty or Empress Dowager find out, it will be hard to explain."

"Oh, Yong Niang, don't worry, Li Cheng Yin will not let His Majesty and Empress know." I was worried that she would keep talking, so I hurriedly said.

"Princess, you can't call His Highness the Crown Prince by his first name, it's disrespectful." Yong Niang said again.

"Ah? But I've always called him that, and he doesn't seem to have any objections. Besides, doesn't he always call me by my name?" Why can he call me, but I can't call him?There are so many rules in the Central Plains!

Yong Niang said: "His Royal Highness calls the princess by her name to show her closeness."

"I call him by his name because it means closeness." I said.

Yong Niang shook her head: "Your Highness is the crown prince, the one who will rule the world in the future, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, so don't call me like that again in the future."

"Then what should I call him?" I tilted my head and looked at Yong Niang.

Yong Niang said: "Naturally, like everyone else, we call His Highness 'His Royal Highness the Prince'."

is that so?Will it appear a bit raw?I still prefer to call him by his first name.However, his name is really difficult to write, especially the word "阴". I have learned it for a long time, but I haven't learned it yet. Fortunately, he doesn't know that I am learning to write his name, otherwise he will laugh at me again.

Since Yong Niang said that it's not good to call him by his first name, I'll change it for now, it's not too difficult anyway.

After taking a shower, I fell asleep straight away.

Because of the injuries on his body, Li Cheng Yin really lay in bed for half a month, he didn't even come to the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, he was only sent a gift.

I was urged by Fang Shangyi and Yong Niang to learn things every day, and I never slipped away to see him again. I wonder if his injury is completely healed.

Later, I went to the palace of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager told me that the emperor asked him to study books.

It's really overkill for a dignified prince to repair books.However, he is studying "Xizhou Chronicles", which has something to do with me. I have already learned all kinds of etiquette and "Women's Commandments" at present. I am in a hurry, but I also want to talk to him. to repair books.

I boldly mentioned it to the Empress Dowager, but I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager told the emperor that I wanted to edit the book, and the emperor agreed.
