Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess novel Chapter 110

Prince Sun looked annoyed at the empty dishes on the table. He had overeaten accidentally and was overwhelmed with guilt. He reproached Yuan Qingling painfully, “I told you to prepare just three dishes of delicacies. Why so many? Your extravagance is eating into people’s sweat and toil. You’re a sponger!”

He grumbled and trudged home with hands holding his belly.

Yuan Qingling had never been criticized for no reason. She stared blankly at Yu Wendu’s back and muttered, “Then why did you eat so much?”

She wasn’t the one who ate most. If she was a sponger, so was Yu Wendu!

Yuan Qingling glared at Yu Wenhao and asked, “What the hell is wrong with him?”

Yu Wenhao appeared calm. “He’s crazy. Ignore him.”

‘Fine. Never argue with a lunatic.’ Yuan Qingling thought.

Nurse Qi came to report, “Prince Wenqing and Princess Qi have been away. They told me to convey their apology and gratitude.”

Yuan Qingling asked casually, “Is Princess Qi OK?”

Nurse Qi answered, “Yes. The court physician said her internal heat rose up high due to her anger but she will be better after receiving good care.”

Yuan Qingling watched Yu wenhao leave the room without a expression.

She shrugged off his duplicity and turned to ask Nurse Qi to take the leftovers back to feed Dooby.

Then she played with Dooby for a while in the yard and soon saw Tang Yang come forward. He said, “Your Highness, His Highness Prince Wenhao tells you to take a rest.”

“No, I’m not tired.” Yuan Qingling felt hot and wiped the sweat off her brow.

“Well then,” Tang Yang said with a smile, “His Highness tells you to copy out a hundred transcripts of the Diamond Sutra.”

Yuan Qingling put down her hands. “I mean I’m a bit tired. I’m going in for a rest and please let him know.”

“Yes, I will.” Tang Yang snickered silently.

Yuan Qingling went inside and lay prone on the bed. She didn’t feel exhausted but the effects of medicine made her fall asleep in no time.

Tang Yang returned to the workroom and reported to Yu Wenhao. “Her Highness is having a rest.”

“She’s so obedient. It’s not like her,” Yu Wenhao said and kept on practising calligraphy with no pausing.

“It owes to your wise stratagem. Her Highness doesn’t prefer to transcribe the Buddhist scriptures. ”

“I knew it.” Yu Wenhao put down his brush pen, took a look at his handwriting and shook his head. “I am full of inquietude these days and so is my handwriting.”

Tang Yang said, “Your Highness, you seem to care much about Her Highness Princess Chu.”

“She is now staying at home and recovering as the emperor ordered. How dare I oppose to the order?”

‘You’re always good at making an excuse.’ Tang Yang thought. He glanced at Yu Wenhao, hesitating in speech. “Today, Princess Qi...”

Yu Wenhao said nonchalantly, “Don’t say her name hereafter. I am not interested in Yu Wenqing’s private affairs.”

That was exactly what Tang Yang wanted to hear. He was much relieved. “Yes, Your Highness!” he responded and went out.

Tang Yang quite fancied the present life. Although he used not to favor Yuan Qingling before, he could notice her changes in attitude and behavior, no longer execrable as before.

Later this day, Queen Xian had someone send supplements which were beneficial to the body to Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling was waken up in slumber to listen to the ‘cordial greetings’ of Queen Xian conveyed by the Nurse Leader, who implied that Yuan Qingling ought to behave herself and be careful not to disgrace Yu Wenhao and Queen Xian.

Yuan Qingling stayed at home the next few days to recuperate, going nowhere.

Prince Sun came each day and became friends with Yuan Qingling gradually because they both were great lovers of food.

Yuan Qingling was not fond of eating but she was an extraordinary eater with big appetite compared with other females in that day and age. And the way she ate was unconstrained.

Prince Sun commented that many women ate like a bird and the aesthetic standard of taking thinness as a symbol of beauty didn’t allow them to eat enough.

This day, Yuan Qingling asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes. Prince Sun usually arrived early but he didn’t show up yet at noon.

Yuan Qingling thought he might be sick of the dishes or he made up his mind once again to lose weight. So she distributed the dishes to Nurse Qi, Nurse Xi and Lu Ya.

Yuan Qingling had tried enough of delicate food these days and had a poor appetite. So she only had a bowl of porridge and then went to walk a dog.
