Chapter 810 I’m causing trouble for you
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Xie Ying also stared at him like this without even changing his posture.
"Thank you, Miss."
"Miss Xie?"
He called out twice, and Xie Ying heard it, but acted as if he was in a trance and did not answer.
Xiao Chen cleared the dishes and stood up. At this time, Xie Ying came back to his senses and asked, "Your Majesty, have you finished your meal?"
"Well, today, thank you very much, Miss."
"You're welcome. Compared to your life-saving grace, what I did is nothing."
Xiao Chen said that it was just a small favor, but Xie Ying still wanted to thank him profusely.
Xiao Chen wanted to return the dishes and plates to the canteen himself, but Xie Ying insisted that she just take them back. As time went by, the bowls and plates on the tray fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a clang.
Xie Ying frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked at him aggrievedly, "Sorry..."
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, "No problem."
Then he squatted down, and Xie Ying also squatted down to pick it up. Their foreheads touched each other again. Xie Ying held his forehead and cried out in pain, then fell down on the stool.
Xiao Chen was stunned, "Miss Xie, are you okay?"
"Your Highness, I'm fine." But she still covered her head, looking as if it was in pain.
"I'll show you."
Xie Ying covered her forehead and shook her head, "I am fine."
Are you okay?
But she looked like she was in pain.
Well, it's just a touch, it won't hurt you too much.
After a long while without hearing any movement from Xiao Chen, Xie Ying raised her head with her hands covering her forehead, only to meet Xiao Chen's smiling eyes.
"Miss Xie, are you feeling better?" How could she dare to say that she wasn't being naughty on purpose? How could it be so funny?
Xie Ying pursed her lips and looked at his smiling eyes and smiling voice. She didn't look angry at all.
Her heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her chest, "Your Highness, I'm feeling better now."
Those misty eyes sparkled with star-like light, and she seemed to be shy about wanting to speak, "Your Majesty will not blame me, will you?"
Xiao Chen knew what she wanted to do.
He would not blame her, but instead talked about Qing Changan waiting for him in the morning, "He promised me that if you give him a chance, he would never take a concubine from now on, and would only grow old with you."
Why are you talking about Qing Chang'an?
Xie Ying was slightly embarrassed, "I have already told him that it is impossible in this lifetime."
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
Xie Ying continued, "It was my fault that I broke off the engagement. He became seriously ill because of it and still has some sequelae. Perhaps after a while, he will understand my determination."
Xiao Chen said 'hmm', then squatted down and put all the pieces into the tray. Just as Xie Ying was about to squat down, Xiao Chen stopped her, "Miss Xie has never done these jobs at home, let me do it."
"Your Highness, are you saying that I am different from you?" Xie Ying didn't want to listen. She just squatted down and picked up the broken porcelain pieces with him.
Seeing that there was only one piece left, he seized the opportunity and gently rubbed the sharp part with his fingertips, "Ah..."
She retracted her hand, then looked at Xiao Chen, a little discouraged and coquettish, "I should have listened to the prince earlier."
She felt wronged, so wronged that it hurt so much that her eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall.
When Xiao Chen looked at Xie Ying like this, he felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. She really had good intentions.
He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood from her fingertips.
Xie Ying looked at his gentle movements and secretly sized up the young man's expression: his focused eyes, his meticulous demeanor, his slightly pursed red lips, his clear outlines, his face like a banished immortal.
How come Xiao Chen is so handsome?
She was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding violently.
"Go get some medicine." Xiao Chen said.
Xie Ying came back to his senses and lowered his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and stood up. Xie Ying also stood up and followed him. If he was any slower, the blood in the wound would have dried up. Was the wound going to heal?
She squeezed—
The blood started flowing again.
Xiao Chen went to get a wooden box of medicine, and Xie Ying sat down on the kang, with her injured hand naturally placed on the small stool, "Your Highness, I am sorry to have caused you trouble."
Xiao Chen smiled politely. It was a little troublesome. She was really patient. If he was not moved at all, would she keep pestering him for the rest of his life?
lifetime--
Xiao Chen was shocked. Could he tolerate her pestering him for the rest of his life?
I stole a glance at the girl, and with her drooping eyebrows, she looked like a docile kitten.
He found the medicine, took it out and opened the cork, then looked at the injured fingertip. Wasn't there no blood just now? How come so much blood was flowing again?
Just as she was thinking, Xie Ying asked, "Your Majesty, is this servant's injury okay?"
"fine."
"I heard from my elder brother that Lord Rong is an extraordinary doctor, and the Queen Mother is also very skilled in medicine. Is the prince's medical skills also very good?"
Xiao Chen lowered his head, "It's just so-so."
He didn't dare to compete with Uncle Rong and the Queen Mother in medical skills.
Of course, once I have learned all the medical skills in the Imperial Observatory, that may not be the case.
He wiped off the blood stains, then held her fingers with one hand and shook the porcelain bottle with the other hand, sprinkling the medicine powder on the wound.
"Oh, it hurts." She pouted and acted coquettishly.
"patience."
He lowered his head, the corners of his lips curled up, why was she so - so interesting?
"Your Highness, are you making fun of me?" Xie Ying tilted her head to look at his expression.
Xiao Chen, who was caught, was a little embarrassed, and his expression instantly returned to his usual clear and cool state, "No."
"But I saw Your Majesty laughing. He must be making fun of me for being clumsy..."
"No."
"Definitely is."
Xiao Chen: “…”
He took a deep breath and saw that the powder had already stuck to the wound. He took some gauze and bandaged his finger. "Try not to get it wet for the next two days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome." Xiao Chen put away the medicine powder and put the wooden box back.
Xie Ying sat on the kang and looked at the young man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, dressed in white. He really was a fairy from heaven.
What should she do? Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
Xiao Chen put the box away and came back, and the two of them looked at each other.
Xie Ying was a little embarrassed. She should indeed go back. She looked at the tray and the broken pieces on the ground that had not been put away yet.
Xiao Chen said: "I will collect it myself."
"I have to go back to the dormitory anyway, so it's convenient for me. Please let me take it back to the dining hall."
Xiao Chen nodded, and went to clean up, then handed the tray to Xie Ying. Just as Xie Ying reached out to take it, Xiao Chen pulled back, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."
"Why?" Xie Ying felt a little aggrieved, "Does Your Majesty hate me, or dislike me?"
This can't be described as disgust, let alone like or dislike. He looked at her hand and said, "You have a wound on your hand."
Besides, Xie Ying didn't look like someone who could do such rough work.
And he has been taking care of himself since he was young, so he can do these things easily.
