Chapter 578: The Fairy Wife Who Grants All Demands
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Originally, it was agreed that they would have dinner before entering the palace, but Liu Shimei did not.
She was getting anxious.
As the carriage pa.s.sed by some of the favorite foods of Huangfu Lingyao, like the beef and lamb sauce from Old Li’s stall on Vermilion Bird Avenue, she had Mo’er weigh two pounds and brought it into the palace.
At that moment, Huangfu Lingyao was having his meal, complaining about being fed by the servant. He ate on his own, using his right hand wrapped in bandages to grip the spoon. Every bite was accompanied by a complaint.
“When will Wife enter the palace?”
“Eating alone without Wife doesn’t make even divine meat taste good!”
“Lianzi, do you think your Eldest Young Miss has forgotten about me? Why hasn’t she come back yet?”
Lian Qiao stood by, waiting to serve. She wore an expression of speechlessness and patience on her face.
She couldn’t help but watch silently as King Dun Yu used his wrapped hand that looked like a pig’s trotter to scoop rice, making a mess with grains scattered everywhere.
When he kept on complaining, she heard but pretended not to.
When Liu Shimei entered, this was the scene she encountered: a dispirited dog, a dispirited maid!
To those unaware, it seemed like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking!
“Lingyao, I’m back,” she said as she approached him with a smile.
Lingyao hadn’t expected her to enter the palace early. At first, he thought he was hearing things, but once he recognized the soft and gentle voice of his wife, he broke into a wide grin and wanted to leap up. “Wife!”
But reality set in.
Lian Qiao gently pressed his right shoulder and reminded him, “Your Highness, you have a shoulder injury; you shouldn’t move recklessly!”
Lingyao,
Darn it!
Since he couldn’t move, he didn’t move. He gave her a pitiful look, sitting there watching Liu Shimei approaching them, feeling like an abandoned puppy, and said, “Wife, you’ve been gone the whole day. I think I’m going crazy without you!”
The smile on Liu Shimei’s face widened, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere in the mansion instantly.
Now, she had seen three patients, and because her eyesight might not be appealing, she almost scared the patients into thinking there was no hope left.
Realizing this, she consciously kept her personal emotions out of her work. When she felt upset, she would think of her dog at home.
She had thought about her dog at least six times while seeing one patient!
Thinking about him made her feel a little better.
Seeing him now made all the gloominess disappear!
She loved his unabashed enthusiasm, openly saying, ‘I miss you so much’ when he missed her and straightforwardly declaring, ‘I really like you’ when he liked her.
“Here, I haven’t had dinner yet. I bought your favorite braised beef.”
Glancing at the messy table, Liu Shimei didn’t scold him at all. She turned to Lian Qiao and said, “Lian Qiao, clean up here, and bring two portions of food for us. Then, you and Mo’er can go eat together.”
Seeing her being so understanding, Lingyao’s eyes lit up. He stared at her with a grin, feeling delighted inside.
“Yes, Eldest Miss.” Lian Qiao nodded and, together with Mo’er, tidied up the mess.
Liu Shimei sat down next to Lingyao and asked, “Lingyao, is your injury still as painful as yesterday?”
“It’s much better!” Lingyao replied and was about to remove the bandage on his right hand. “Wife, take a look.”
“Not yet.” Liu Shimei held his hand, preventing him from removing the bandage. “Let’s eat first, and then I’ll change your dressing. You can see it later.”
Her obedient puppy nodded, but because he couldn’t hug her freely due to his injury on the left shoulder, his expression turned sour. “Wife, I haven’t seen you all day. Can’t you hug me?”
Liu Shimei,
She couldn’t help but laugh and stretched her arm, avoiding his injured shoulder, and gently hugged him.
What a responsive and loving wife!
Lingyao’s mood improved greatly, and he immediately wrapped his right arm around her..
