CH 134

Zhao Zhi held back his anger, “You want to eat fish?”

Ming Zhu nodded her head.

Zhao Zhi then ordered the maidservant to go and stew the fish, after saying this, his face still was not looking very good.

Even if he did not come over, other people still could not slight her.

The fish soup was quickly stewed and brought over. Ming Zhu ate two bowls of rice with the fish soup.

Zhao Zhi’s eyebrows raised up, he pursed his lips and smiled. He was a little surprised to see the change in her appetite, when had it become so good? She could not eat anymore after only two bites before.

Ming Zhu blushed a little from being looked at by him. She knew that she had eaten a little too much tonight.

Zhao Zhi didn’t laugh at her, “It’s a blessing to be able to eat a lot.”

Later in the evening, Zhao Zhi punished the kitchen staff.

The chef wanted to cry out in injustice, he said that the only reason he would ever dare slight miss Ming Zhu was because he had been ordered to.

Zhao Zhi watched the scene coldly but did not bother to listen to their pleading.

This small matter did not fall into Ming Zhu’s ears, and no one told her. She herself also found it strange, she wondered why the servants who served the dishes had become so attentive and polite to her again.

What was even more puzzling was that Liu momo had been dismissed and sent elsewhere.

Ming Zhu chatted with Biying, “What mistake did Liu momo make for her to actually be sent away?”

Biying was aware of the details of the story, but she did not dare tell her, she shook her head and lied to her, “This servant is not sure.”

Ming Zhu was peeling melon seeds and putting them into her mouth, eating as she said, “If even you don’t know, then it must be something big.”

She was not interested in the matter, but she was still a bit happy in her heart. In the future, she finally would not have to listen to Liu momo’s sarcastic words of ridicule anymore.

Zhao Zhi came to her room somewhat diligently these days, but his words were still as few as before, and he remained silent. The two were in the same room, but each were doing their own thing.

Except for those matters in bed, where Ming Zhu and he had a few difficulties, everything else could be considered harmonious.

Zhao Zhi sometimes was too passionate, and he became a little too fierce, she had a few months of good and carefree days and she really could not handle it all of a sudden.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Zhao Zhi lessened his force, and his movements also became gentler.

When Ming Zhu was ripe, her body seemed to emit a rich fragrance, her soft ears were burning red, as her arms laid powerlessly on his waist, even the sound of her breath became much lighter.

At the end of their activities, there was a chaotic mess.

Zhao Zhi carried her to go bath and changed her into comfortable and clean clothes. Ming Zhu, half asleep, half awake, was looking at him with half open eyes, she mumbled something with her mouth, but it was incoherent and inaudible.

Probably because she was too tired, Ming Zhu did not have any nightmares and had a good sleep. The first thing she did when she woke up was asking for the medicine.

Zhao Zhi’s mood was originally good, but when he heard the word “medicine”, his face turned cold.

Ming Zhu thought that Zhao Zhi had already conceded on this matter, and that was why she dared to mention it in front of him.

Zhao Zhi liked to play with her when he had free time, he placed her in front of the mirror, saying he wanted to comb her hair and draw her eyebrows.

Ming Zhu wasn’t too willing to let him do it, she nudged him, “Let Biying come in and do it.”

Zhao Zhi took the wooden comb, “What are you anxious for?”

He slowly untangled her long hair, with focused eyes, his movements were serious, as he combed from the root to the ends, as if this way she and he would be able to grow old together.

Just when he was done combing her hair, the maidservant brought the medicine that was cooked in the kitchen.

Ming Zhu blew on the boiling hot medicinal soup and drank it in several mouthfuls.

Zhao Zhi looked at her in silence, with narrowed eyes, the look in his eyes was unclear. In these moments, it seemed that she was no longer afraid of bitterness.

Ming Zhu only felt at ease when she was finished drinking the medicine. Looking at the person in the mirror, she asked in a small voice: “Your Highness, you’re not busy today?”

It was almost noon. He should have left a long time ago already.

Zhao Zhi replied back in a low voice, “I’m going to be busy.”

He then said, “I happen to be free these two days, so I’ll take you outside for a stroll.”

Ming Zhu almost thought she had misheard, this was really unexpected, “You want to take me out?”

In fact, she was really lazy to move lately, she felt tired even after a short walk, not to mention that these few days were the hottest days of the year, she was not able to stroll for long before she would get dizzy from the sun exposure.

“You don’t want to go?”

“Can we go out a little later? It’s too hot right now.”

Zhao Zhi looked at the sun outside, it was indeed a bit harsh to the eyes. He nodded, “Mmh, then let’s go out in two hours.”

Ming Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, then she combed her hair in a simple bun, it looked fresh and cool, making her look like a thornless little white flower that did not know the ways of the world.
