Chapter 239: Red Date Soup
"Sisi?" Li Jingyang was surprised. Seeing that she had run away, he quickly grabbed the woman's wrist.
Before he could ask any further questions, Lin Rusi pushed him away, saying, "Your Highness, please go back first. I'll come back to find you later."
The little girl's face was a little red, and her brows were tightly furrowed; it was hard to tell if she was angry.
Without saying a word, she pushed Li Jingyang out the door.
Are you angry?
Staring at the closed door, Li Jingyang thought to himself, standing at the door unwilling to leave. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly called out into the room, "Sisi, did I say something wrong just now?"
Upon careful reflection, he truly didn't quite understand; it couldn't be because he had gone too far in his teasing.
It's not impossible!
Thinking of this, the man sighed softly.
"If I have said anything wrong, please tell me. Don't hold a grudge."
But at that moment, Lin Rusi in the room was in a hurry to change her clothes.
Where can one hear such words?
My period always comes early, and once I feel abdominal pain, I don't feel better afterwards.
Besides, she had eaten a cold dish during the meal, so it's no wonder she had such a bad stomachache.
Outside the door, Li Jingyang was still persistently apologizing.
When Wanqi arrived, she witnessed this scene and was momentarily unsure whether she should go forward to disturb them.
Li Jingyang was the first to spot her and quickly waved, "The princess has locked me out. Go and see her."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened from the inside, and Wanxia came out.
Although the princess didn't hear a single word of His Highness's words, she heard them clearly. His Highness apologized outside the door for a long time.
He probably doesn't know why the princess is ignoring him. Thinking of this, Wanxia couldn't help but chuckle.
As she spoke, her earlobes turned slightly red: "Your Highness, Her Majesty is not angry with you, she is just feeling a little unwell."
Hearing this, Li Jingyang became even more anxious: "If you were feeling unwell, why didn't you say so earlier! Then I will go and fetch a doctor."
Wanxia blushed instantly and quickly stopped Li Jingyang.
"Your Highness, this is not an illness that doctors can treat. It's a condition that girls get every month. It's nothing serious."
Wanqi, who was standing to the side, immediately understood why this was the case.
Her face flushed red instantly: "Your Highness, why don't I do it? It would be more convenient for me and Wanxia to do it."
The two maids nodded emphatically.
Based on what they said and their expressions at that moment.
Is there anything Li Jingyang doesn't understand?
Even if he were slow-witted, he should have realized that the two of them were talking about that kind of thing.
He froze for a moment, his face extremely embarrassed.
After a long while, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you, Your Highness."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After the man left, Wanxia and Wanqi turned around and went back into the room.
Upon seeing Lin Rusi, it was clear she was genuinely in pain; she was leaning against the headboard, her face somewhat pale.
He had already drunk several cups of hot tea, but it hadn't made his lower abdomen feel any better.
Wanxia had no choice but to bring over a hot water bottle: "Your Highness, please bear with it. It's like this every month. If you feel really uncomfortable, I'll really go and fetch a doctor."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi swayed with difficulty.
She wasn't that weak, nor was she so weak that she needed to go to such lengths as to call a doctor.
Besides, if we really have to call a doctor, they'll probably just prescribe some painkillers or something.
She had no interest in that stuff. Lin Rusi had tried it before, and it was terribly bitter; she certainly didn't like it.
Just as Lin Rusi was feeling down, a sweet aroma suddenly wafted into her nostrils, instantly whetting her appetite.
She sat up abruptly, but the pain in her lower abdomen made her pause for a moment, though her eyes still instinctively searched for that sweet taste.
The next moment, a dignified man carrying a small bowl walked slowly and deliberately toward him.
Lin Rusi narrowed her eyes, as if she was somewhat puzzled.
Li Jingyang approached and saw that the person on the bed was wearing only a thin garment, and his expression turned cold.
"Wanxia, go and bring the cloak for the princess to wear."
He then handed the small bowl in his hand to Wanqi, walked to the bedside, and draped the cloak over Lin Rusi.
She spoke softly, "If you're not feeling well, why are you wearing so little?"
Lin Rusi was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to come back suddenly, and thought of what Wanxia had said earlier.
It's probably a misunderstanding.
She quickly explained, "Your Highness, I'm not angry, I'm just not feeling well."
As she spoke, her hand unconsciously reached towards her lower abdomen.
Li Jingyang didn't say anything, but turned around and took the bowl from Wanqi's hand.
The moment Lin Rusi lifted the lid, she knew where the sweet smell was coming from.
It was the jujube soup in Li Jingyang's hand, along with a sweet egg soup.
Lin Rusi frowned as she looked at the large pile of eggs, finding the two rather incompatible.
So she said with some disdain, "Your Highness! Who eats eggs when they have an upset stomach!"
Li Jingyang glanced at her leisurely, then explained, "I asked the old people in the kitchen, and they said eating this is helpful."
As he spoke, he had already raised the spoon and fed the egg to her mouth. Lin Rusi wanted to say something, but she subconsciously opened her mouth and swallowed the egg in one gulp.
The moment the egg went down her throat, Lin Rusi was a little stunned; she hadn't expected it to taste so good.
It was even better than she had imagined; she had initially thought that red date soup and eggs were a terrible combination.
But the sweet egg soup seemed to be a perfect match for the red date soup. One sip after another, and soon the small bowl of red date soup was empty.
Lin Rusi rubbed her stomach comfortably, tilted her head back and laughed, "I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious red date soup when I wasn't feeling well. But these red dates are all pitted, who made them?"
It's only been a short while since she started feeling unwell; how could it have been so fast?
I wonder who in the kitchen is so efficient and skilled. If possible.
Having a bowl of this red date soup on a regular day would be quite nice, Lin Ru thought, her mind already wandering far away.
Wanxia, who had been following Lin Rusi for so many days, knew exactly what Lin Rusi was thinking.
She immediately spoke up for Li Jingyang, who had been neglected for a long time: "Your Highness, this was made by His Highness himself. He removed the pits from the dates one by one."
Wanxia winked at the two of them, her face full of teasing. If it weren't for her period, she would have thought this was a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship.
Who knows, in just a few days, they might have a little prince.
