Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 147 Love Poems

Shen Yining was a little bit at a loss for a moment. He called her Miss Shen in a voice without knowing his emotion. She didn't know whether he wanted to see her or not. Instead, she extinguished the fire in her hand, clenched it tightly, and moved away from the bed. She walked out of the bedroom in the dark and ordered the maid to prepare soup and food. Doctor Liu said that day that he would wake up soon, but he still waited for two days. Now he finally woke up.

"Oh, this is for you. There's no light inside." The maid was about to go in, but Shen Yining pulled her over and handed her a fire starter.

"Yes."

Shen Yining stood outside the bedroom but did not go in. As the lights inside were lit, Song Xiaoyuan opened his eyes but still could not see clearly. The eunuch helped him up: "Mr. Song, drink some water first."

His throat was dry at the moment. He took the cup of water handed to him and drank the warm water in one gulp. Song Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke after a while: "Just now, there was someone else in the room."

"My lord, Miss Shen knew you were awake and went out to call the servants in."

A furry white thing was rubbing against his feet and exploring. Song Xiaoyuan sat on the bed with his hands on his knees and looked down carefully: "What is this?"

"My Lord, Bai Yue will be with Miss Shen in the house to look after you these days."

In a daze, Song Xiaoyuan reached out and leaned over to touch Bai Yue. The white fur on his touch was soft and dense. Shen Yining leaned against the door of the bedroom and watched him caress Bai Yue. He just wished that he was Bai Yue at this moment.

Feeling someone's gaze, Song Xiaoyuan turned his head to look towards the palace entrance while being caressed, while Shen Yining quickly turned his back and hid outside the palace entrance.

It was hard to see clearly nearby, let alone far away. He turned his head and sat up straight. The maid brought the porridge to his mouth, and Song Xiaoyuan took the spoon and bowl himself: "Thank you, please invite Miss Shen in."

"Yes." Shen Yining was about to leave when the maid went out, but when she turned around, she thought Song Xiaoyuan didn't want to see her.

Song Xiaoyuan entered carefully. He couldn't see clearly and didn't react. The maid behind him whispered, "The young master doesn't seem to be able to see clearly. He only knew you were here when you spoke, Miss."

Shen Yining felt relieved now, and walked to his side carefully, picked up Bai Yue who was still sniffing around, and stepped back, looking at the blurry yellow figure in front of him with dark eyes: "Miss Shen, are you feeling better?"

"Hmm!" I didn't expect to be a little shocked. Didn't you say you couldn't see clearly?

"Not well?"

"Oh, okay, it's all right now."

Song Xiaoyuan put down the bowl in his hand and asked the eunuch: "How many days have I slept?"

"Sir, it will take less than five days."

"Oh? It'll be all right in five days. Miss Shen is really an iron wall."

Shen Yining held Bai Yue in her arms and walked away in small steps. When she was almost at the entrance of the palace, she said, "Xiao Yuan, take care of yourself!" Then she turned around and left in shame. She didn't care about the wound. Anyway, it didn't hurt anymore and she should have opened it and changed the dressing. She forgot...

After returning Bai Yue to Hehe Palace, Shen Yining stroked its little head and said, "Let's go. I've sent you home and it's time for me to go home too."

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, the palace eunuchs followed them and handed over a few jade bottles: "Miss Shen, this is the ointment prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu. Young Master Song asked me to instruct you to take it three times a day without missing a single dose."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yining took the ointment awkwardly. She knew one of the bottles was for scar removal. Qizhu had also given it to her but she had forgotten to apply it. She couldn't forget to use it now.

After returning home, Xingyue helped me bathe and change the dressing. After that, I was awake and no longer sleepy. I tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't help but miss him...

The next morning, Song Xiaoyuan stood under the eaves of the palace and looked into the distance, his vision still unclear.

Fuzzily, a person approached from outside the palace: "Mr. Song, Miss Shen sent you a letter this morning."

"Oh?" Song Xiaoyuan took the letter and didn't know what it was but was afraid it was urgent, so he asked the eunuch if he could read the words and help him look at it.

The eunuch opened the letter and read aloud: "The fragrance of the red lotus fades, and the jade mat is cold in autumn. I take off my silk dress and go up to the orchid alone..."

"No need to read it, just fold it and return it to Miss Shen." Song Xiaoyuan interrupted, lowered his eyes, turned around and groped his way into the bedroom. .... I am alone on the orchid boat. Who sent the brocade letter from the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon is full in the west building. The flowers fall and the water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle worries. There is no way to eliminate this feeling. It has just left my brows, but it still stays in my heart.

The letter was delivered intact to Shen Yining in Hehe Palace. After opening it, he was disappointed and put it on the table. Qizhu asked the eunuch who delivered it, "Did Lord Song read it?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, Young Master Song couldn't see and told me to read it. I just finished reading the first sentence when I was stopped and told to return it to Miss Shen."

Shen Yining picked up the pen: "It's okay, sister, I can still write!" Shen Yining went to the palace and told her about her hypocrisy and slandering Song Xiaoyuan. The two decided to write love poems, which are commonly used by young ladies in Beijing! To express their feelings and thoughts.

The eunuch brought another letter. Song Xiaoyuan took the medicine and sat by the window. He smelled the strange bitter medicine and frowned: "You read it."

"The autumn wind is clear, the moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and scatter, and the jackdaws are startled when they roost. When will we meet? It is embarrassing at this time and night! Enter my love door, and you will know my lovesickness. Long lovesickness means long memories, short lovesickness means endless. If I had known it would be so heart-wrenching, why didn't we meet in the first place." After reading this, the eunuch turned the page and continued: "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the tail of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day but I can't see you. We drink the water of the Yangtze River together. When will this water stop flowing, and when will this hatred end. I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down." He turned another page: "The thin clouds play tricks, the flying stars convey hatred, and the Milky Way passes by in the dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Tenderness is like water, and the good time is like a dream. I can't help but look back at the magpie bridge on the way home! If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night."

I don't know what was put in the medicine, it smelled fishy. Song Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and drank the bitter medicine. It was really unpalatable. His eyebrows twisted together. After a long pause, he interrupted the eunuch who was reading the letter and asked, "Did she copy a book of love poems for you?"

The eunuch laughed awkwardly: "My lord, Miss Shen did write a lot."

Song Xiaoyuan rinsed his mouth to get rid of the bitter smell and reached out to the vague figure of the eunuch in front of him: "Give it to me, please take me to find Miss Shen."

"Yes"

In a daze, he was helped to the Hehe Palace. Shen Yining saw him coming in coldly and just copied a bunch of love poems. Now he stood up hurriedly, feeling embarrassed: "Xiao Yuan! Sister, please leave."

Qizhu stood up with a meaningful smile, and left with the eunuchs and maids in the garden: "Yes, sister is leaving first. Please take good care of Lord Song, Yining." She left so quickly that Shen Yining didn't even have the chance to pull her sleeve.

The eunuch beside Song Xiaoyuan was also called away. He stood there and watched everyone leave in a blur. Then he turned around and groped his way forward. Shen Yining saw him raise his hand to explore because he was blind. No matter how embarrassed he was, he hurried over to support him: "The pavilion is over here."

He stopped and looked down at the source of the voice: "Miss Shen, thank you for your help."

Shen Yining saw the letter in his hand and felt really embarrassed at the moment. He helped him sit down in the pavilion without saying a word.

Song Xiaoyuan brushed off his sleeves and sat down, raising his hand to return the manuscript: "Miss Shen, your letter."

Shen Yining took over and said in a deep voice for a long time: "When will your eyes be able to see clearly?"

"Just these few days."

"Well, that's good... the wedding dress has been altered as well."
