Chapter 201: It's Good to Be Young

lder, Yun'an stepped into the pharmacy.The apothecary owner was an old man, munching on snacks and sipping wine when Yun An'an walked in.Perhaps intoxicated by the wine, the old man looked up at Yun w...:]

The man was dressed in fine silk robes and had an elegant and refined air.

Before reaching Yun An'an, he slightly bowed in greeting.

"I have met the Princess Yi."

Who are you

"I am a guest of the Marquis's mansion in Dong Qin. I am passing through Beichen Kingdom and came to Tianshu Academy to inquire about several matters on behalf of the Marquis concerning Princess Yi."

Eastern Qin National Duke's Mansion

The master's household came to Yingtian Academy on their way, asking her for help

Well, what do you want to ask Qiming about

"The princess consort is intelligent and wise."

The man politely complimented her without beating around the bush and directly asked Yun An'an about everything related to her namesake.

But the way men ask questions is very awkward, they have to make a roundabout point with several twists and turns in one sentence, trying to show off how cultured they are.

"Sir, can you speak plainly You're just trying to subtly ask if Prince Qi is worthy of support. Why all the roundabout ways and beating around the bush"

She truly dislikes the way men talk. They are deep and calculating, never revealing their thoughts. Every word you say, they've already thought out the next three responses.

"Since you asked, regarding Qi Ming's safety after returning to Dong Qin, as his teacher, I naturally have to consider my student's well-being."

Facing the man who inquired about her name, Yun An'an shrugged her shoulders and raised her phoenix eyes.

"Qi Ming is a talented individual, but your Marquis's Mansion has mistaken a pearl for a fish eye. Although he may not possess the wisdom of a chief minister like the prime minister, he is a military genius capable of leading tens of thousands of soldiers to victory on the battlefield."

Qi Ming is eighteen years old this year. When he was in Dong Qin, he was a typical second-generation ancestor, a bully in the eyes of the world. He was sent to Bei Chen as a hostage by the Hou Ye's Mansion.

Besides a fixed monthly allowance, they are basically free-range, living and dying as they please.

It's estimated that the Hou Ye Mansion didn't care whether Qi Ming was alive or dead.

If he hadn't made a name for himself at the last grand celebration, the Marquis's household would have probably already forgotten that Beichen Nation had such a son.

"This young master traveled far and wide, it's not just about coming to investigate the Qi name, but also wanting to take a gamble."

As if his thoughts had been guessed, the man half-closed his eyes and smiled wryly.

Therefore, Yi Wangfei thought that Qi Ming was a promising crown prince to support.

My students, who I have taught, are by no means mediocre. As for returning to the state of Dong Qin, whether or not they can be supported depends entirely on the young master's own abilities.

Since we are both intelligent people, we naturally understand each other's intentions.

The man took a few steps back and once again bowed to Yun An'an.

"With the Duchess of Yi's words, I will be eagerly awaiting Young Master Qi's performance on his examination."

Men have their own purposes, they cannot blindly believe everything Yun An'an says.

Everything will have to wait until after the big exam. If Qi Ming's scores reach his expected ideal level, he will naturally support Qi Ming well and make him the new Marquis of Dong Qin, ruling over the world.

Otherwise...

The man got into the carriage and gradually disappeared in the distance.

Yun Anan, standing at the gate of Yingtian Academy, was about to leave when she turned around and saw Yu Changyuan hiding in the corner, eavesdropping.

"The Dean wants to hear it openly and honestly, why be coy"

"Isn't that going to ruin the atmosphere"

To be a thief, you talk so harshly.

That man is no ordinary person.

Yu Changyuan stretched his neck and glanced in the direction the man had left.

"Dean's acquaintances"

I don't know him, but I recognize the jade pendant he is wearing.

"Oh What's the matter"

Yun An'an also noticed the jade pendant at the man's waist. It was a fine jade pendant, but it only had a simple semicircle carved on it, as if the artisan had stopped carving midway due to some imperfection.

"That's a complicated story, you know the Murong family of Dong Qin"

You Changyuan's enigmatic air was like that of a gossiping busybody.

The Murong family of Dong Qin was known for producing countless brilliant strategists. Many emperors from the Seven Kingdoms desperately sought out their wisdom, offering hefty sums to hire them and gain valuable advice.

tsk tsk tsk

You Changyuan chewed on his lips.

If I'm not mistaken, this young master in front of me should be Murong Yu, the illegitimate son of the Murong family.

"Oh, I see!"

Upon hearing this from Yu Changyuan, Yun Annan suddenly understood.

"Does Murong Yu care about being a concubine's child"

"Huh Why do you ask that"

Yu Changyuan looked at Yun An'an in puzzlement. What difference did it make whether she was born into the family or not Both were members of the Murong clan, both incredibly valuable!

"Is there anything, Headmaster Is your injury better"

Yunan changed the subject.

After the activity, You Changyuan's activities seemed to strain his injury. He winced and let out an "Ouch!"

"It still hurts. Why don't you give this old man some pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication This old man can't just lie down all the time, it's too uncomfortable."

"Alright, five hundred taels."

"Do you take me for a fool"

What medicine costs 500 taels just to speak about it.

He actually owns a pharmacy, Yun AnAn really dares to ask.

"Natural divine medicine, love to give or not, if not given, find someone else to prescribe."

Hey, you little rascal!

Finally, it's time to clock out.

Yun Anan sat in the carriage, heading towards Yiwu Palace. She stopped by the market to buy some vegetables on the way.

What should we have for dinner

In recent days, Beichen Yi has always been out early and late. Even an iron man would not be able to stand it.

Let's have some soup to replenish our energy.

"What is this dish"

At the vegetable stand, Yun An'an sniffed the fragrant small cabbage heads.

"Your Highness, would you like some This Seven-Colored Head is very nourishing. It only grows on the mountain during this time of year."

Before Yun'an could speak, the vegetable stall owner packed the six colorful heads into an oiled paper bag.

"Too much, I can't eat it all!"

"Not too much, just enough. The colorful head is best cooked in a soup with chicken, the broth is incredibly flavorful. Stir-fried, it's sweet and fresh, steamed, it only needs a sprinkle of soy sauce to be especially fragrant."

Saying that, the vegetable vendor stuffed some fresh fruits and vegetables mushrooms into the paper bag again.

Yun'an an had no choice but to accept it and bought a black chicken on the way.

On the carriage, Qingfeng glanced at the seven-colored head inside the oiled paper package. With a look of awkward understanding, he looked again at Yun Annan.

"The King has been working very hard lately."

"Ah"

Yun'an didn't understand what Qingfeng meant by that.

Upon returning to Huiyi Manor, Yun An'an rushed into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

When the aroma of the seven-colored head spreads, the scent brings joy to one's heart.

"What Old Li said is true, the seven-color head stewed with black chicken is delicious!"

As time passed, Yun An'an finished cooking, and Bei Chen Yi returned.

"Aren't you up quite early today, Beichen Has the cold-hearted North Star finally discovered some conscience"

"Rongrong only came into the palace with the child, what did Aner cook, it smells so good."

The aroma of the food could be smelled from afar, and it was exceptionally fragrant.

When has my cooking ever been bad I’m going to wash my hands.

Urging Beichen Yi to wash his hands before eating, the esteemed Regent was acting like a child stealing food, isn't he ashamed

Outside the study, on a stone table, there were four dishes and one soup.

There are stir-fried colorful head greens, colorful head stewed chicken soup, and also steamed eggs with colorful head. There is also cold salad colorful head greens, and red pepper chicken side dishes also added some colorful head.

"An'er's cooking is the best in the world. As a husband, I could eat it for generations and still not get tired of it."

"The chicken soup tastes delicious."

"Cold dishes are also delicious."

"As my husband, I want to have another bowl."

In conclusion, dinner was very warm and cozy.

After dinner, Gao Lin and Old Wang Ye came to Yi Wangfu and discussed the matter of the thirteen cities on the border with Bei Chen Yi.

Neither of them knew that at this time, General Xiong Chu of the Thirteen Cities of Bian was already an eyeliner for Prince Yi's Mansion.

Regarding matters of border security, the two engaged in a discussion with Beichen Yi.

"Have some pastries, I just baked a cake."

In this era, Yun An'an only had the most basic ingredients available to bake a cake.

But even so, Gao Lin and Old Master Wang's eyes lit up when they smelled the sweet aroma of the cake.

"What a taste, what a flavor!!"

Sweet and soft, it melts in your mouth with one bite.

"Delicious, so delicious!!"

One bite each, Old Wang ate with ferocious hunger. Even when he choked, he wouldn't use water to wash down the taste of the cake in his mouth, forcing it down.

But Bei Chenyi had no mind to savor the cake, his gaze remained fixed on Yun An'an.

A nameless fire burned within him, making him restless and agitated.

"Uncle, why don't you try some"

Yun Anan brought the cake to Bei Chen Yi's face, but the next second, her entire body was suspended in mid-air. Bei Chen Yi held her in his arms.

Looking into those eyes, impossible to describe with words, Yun An's heart thumped wildly.

"Uncle, are there still people here"

"An'er."

As soon as the two characters "An'er" left her lips, a magnetic, hoarse voice laced with deep suppression erupted, slapping against Yun An'an's cheeks.

"Uncle...how come you're so hot Do you have a fever"

Yun An'an reached out and touched Beichen Yi's forehead.

It's so hot!

How did it suddenly burn so fiercely

Before Yún'ān could speak again, Běichén Yì, who had been suppressed to the limit, leaped forward, holding the woman in his arms and disappearing from the front hall, vanishing before Gāo Lín and Old Wang Ye.

"My lord, how about this What do you think of the people"

Gao Lin, who was bowing his head to eat the roasted cake, looked up and wanted to tell Beichen Yi about his plan, regarding the plan for the thirteen cities on the border.

When they looked up, the prince and Princess Yi were both gone.

"My Lord, Old Wang, today I'm afraid the Wang can't discuss matters with both of you."

"Why"

Old Wang looked at Qingfeng in puzzlement.

"Because...the king ate quite a few colorful heads."

Qingfeng said somewhat awkwardly, "Yun An'an bought back six tufts of seven-colored heads from the market. She stewed them in chicken, stir-fried them, made cold dishes out of them, and so on."

"Oh, I get it!"

Men just get it!

The seven-colored head is really a good thing, with Bei Chen Yi's way of eating it like this, it's definitely impossible to discuss anything tonight.

"Gao Lin, when you go to court tomorrow, tell Bei Chen Yi that he doesn't have to come. Just say that the Regent King has food poisoning."

>Beichen Yi's situation is indeed likely food poisoning.

Most people would find that eating just one mouthful of the seven-colored head is enough.

tsk tsk tsk

That's why it's still good to be young, isn't it could even speak, a man suddenly rushed forward and embraced her in his arms.This action made Qingfeng's eyes widen. He stepped into the flower bushes and grabbed the man, trying to pull him off Yun...
