C137 You Never Minded the Size of the Bowl When You Ate!

Gu Jun’an heard a young voice calling him in a daze, “Old Prince Consort, you bad guy!” The voice was so soft and tender that it made people feel pain.

Gu Jun’an suddenly woke up and saw that the person on the bed was still lying there.

The joy in his eyes faded away and he was disappointed.

He touched her face and said in a low voice, “Why do you sleep so much?”

The sun was setting and he was about to feed her. He heard the familiar voice again, “Old Prince Consort, you bad man!”

Gu Jun’an stared at her and realized that she was still forcing her eyes to open. It was as if she was talking in her sleep.

“Xiao Jiu?” He called out.

Suddenly, her eyelashes moved and she opened her eyes. Those bright and lively eyes were revealed.

She smiled weakly and sweetly.

Lan Qingqian said, “I dreamt of you but you didn’t feed me.”

She complained and felt wronged. She slowly got up and said, “I seem to have been hungry for a long time. I also dreamt of my father. He rode a thousand miles and walked a long distance but he couldn’t get here.”

Gu Jun’an was excited and carried her up, “Who told you to sleep so much? You slept for four or five days.”

The people in the palace heard that the princess had woken up and they immediately started to do something. They boiled water, cooked porridge and boiled soup.

Lan Qingqian looked at the steaming porridge in the bowl and frowned, “There is no taste at all. I don’t want to eat it. I want to eat a cow, pickled beef, braised beef tongue, roasted steak, beef soup…”

“I just got sick, so I can only drink plain porridge!”

Gu Jun’an rejected her request decisively.

Lan Qingqian sat on the bed and was sulking. “I don’t want it. I don’t want to starve to death.”

Gu Jun’an stared at her, so he naturally didn’t miss her glancing at the plain porridge.

When a person was starving, they would naturally eat anything.

Gu Jun’an was afraid that her poison had just been cured, so he hadn’t eaten for several days. He was afraid that she would get sick from eating too much. That was why he didn’t give her anything to eat.

“If you don’t want to eat, then take it out and feed the pig!” Gu Jun’an said on purpose. In the next moment, Lan Qingqian crawled over impatiently. “Eat, eat. Don’t feed the pig. The pig doesn’t like eating plain porridge.”

She felt wronged and drank the plain porridge in a few mouthfuls. Then, she drank the whole bowl in one breath. She smacked her lips. “It’s really bad. There’s no taste at all. The pig doesn’t want to eat such a bad thing!”

She had been spoiled since she was young. She had been eating extremely fine and luxurious food, so she had never drunk such a tasteless plain porridge.

“You spoil her! If the pig dares to be picky, I’ll make it into a roasted pig tomorrow!”

“That’s perfect for me to eat!” she said happily.

Lan Qingqian had a big appetite since she was young, and she ate plain porridge, so she was starving.

She lay on the bed and touched her belly. She felt hopeless. “I’m so hungry! I’m probably going to starve to death!”

Gu Jun’an was reading a book next to the table, so he didn’t pay attention to her drama.

Seeing that Gu Jun’an didn’t notice her, Lan Qingqian kicked her calves and shouted anxiously, “Old Prince Consort, what’s wrong with my stomach?”

Then she made a few gurgling sounds, “It seems to be poisoned. I need a pig’s elbow to save it!”

Gu Jun’an looked helpless.

“There’s no pig’s elbow!” If it wasn’t for the fact that she happened to be there, he would have already taken care of her.

Lan Qingqian took a step back, “Then the chicken leg is fine. If it doesn’t work, you can give me a bowl of chicken soup. My mouth is bitter and my throat is bitter too. My stomach is also bitter. It might really be poison.” She looked sad and pitiful.

Gu Jun’an knew that she was putting on an act, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

“I ordered them to make you a bowl of chicken soup to quench your hunger!”

“Then you can’t waste the chicken meat. If no one eats it, I can barely eat a little.” Lan Qingqian wasn’t only thinking about the chicken soup, but also the chicken meat.

Gu Jun’an saw through her plan, “If you can’t finish the chicken meat, you’ll have to eat the rest!”

The child’s body recovered quickly, and she could run around the next day.

When Lan Qingqian heard that Hongyu was still locked up, she quickly went to beg Gu Jun’an to let Hongyu go.

“Old Prince Consort, go and save Hongyu. It definitely isn’t her. She even gave me pastries last time!”

Gu Jun’an felt that she only thought about eating. Whenever someone gave her something good, she would run away with it.

“Because you ate her twice, you think she’s not her.”

Lan Qingqian shook her head, “No, Hongyu wouldn’t do that. Why would she poison me? I even saved her, and I don’t have any grudge with her.” She held Gu Jun’an’s sleeve, “If you don’t go, I’ll go and tell the Empress. Anyway, it wasn’t Hongyu who did it, I believe her. You don’t have any evidence, so why do you think it was her?”

Gu Jun’an had no choice but to tell the Empress.

Chun Tu brought the black medicine into the room. Lan Qingqian glanced at it, “What poison is this?”

“Your Highness, this is the medicine for you to recover.”

Lan Qingqian looked at it and her body was filled with resistance. She kept stepping back.

“I don’t want this black stuff. It’s bitter and unpleasant. Take it!” She covered her nose and mouth and ran back.

Chun Tu couldn’t do anything but to look at Gu Jun’an, hoping that he could persuade Lan Qingqian.

“Go and drink the medicine. I’ll give you a bowl of chicken!”

“Then I’ll just drink the porridge!” Lan Qingqian said and suddenly ran out of the room. Gu Jun’an grabbed her quickly and held her in his arms, wanting to force her to drink the medicine.

Unexpectedly, Lan Qingqian was so strong that she used all her strength at such a critical moment.

She covered her mouth with her hand and didn’t move at all. Her hand looked like it had a mouth.

Gu Jun’an watched her delicate arm turn red and couldn’t bear to continue.

“Are you going to eat it or not?” He asked with a dark face.

Lan Qingqian immediately let go of his hand and replied, “I don’t want to eat this stinky and bitter thing.”

Seeing Gu Jun’an’s dark face, Lan Qingqian pitifully pulled his hand, “Old Marquis, we don’t need to take medicine!”

Her voice was tender and pitiful, and she seemed to have a deep hatred for the medicine.

“Darling, please take pity on me. This medicine is the same as poison. What if I die from poison?” She hummed and even asked for help. It could be seen how scared she was of taking the medicine.

Gu Jun’an refused to let go, “You can only recover after taking the medicine!”

“Oh, I feel that eating more meat can also make my body better. Why don’t you change the medicine to meat?” Her eyes were full of begging.

Gu Jun’an finally let go, “Then drink half a bowl!”

Lan Qingqian bargained, “One mouthful.”

“Ten mouthfuls!” Gu Jun’an said.

Lan Qingqian, “Two mouthfuls!” She made a gesture.

Gu Jun’an, “Three mouthfuls. If you continue to bargain, you’ll have to drink one bowl.”

Lan Qingqian thought she had taken advantage of him and happily waited to feed him the medicine. When she saw the big spoon that had been loosened, her eyebrows twitched.

Her eyebrows trembled, “Ah, Old Marquis, you are so evil! You’ll finish three mouthfuls of medicine with such a big spoon!”

“You never mind the size of the bowl when you eat. This spoon is the original one that was used to feed you.”
