Chapter 92: Taste the Marrow
After the three children were exhausted from playing, they realized that they were already hungry, so they got up and started to eat dinner.
Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. Yu'er took advantage of Li Xuan and Princess Ankang sleeping to prepare some more food.
Although she didn't know what movements Li Xuan taught them in the afternoon, Yu'er was very hungry after practicing, so she thought that the two of them were the same.
But to Yu'er's surprise, at dinner, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang ate about the same as usual.
But she ate twice as much, and she was worried about her round belly.
Yu'er was not afraid of getting fat, but worried about the food expenses.
She was just a palace maid, but she ate the most and spent the most.
Although Jingyang Palace is rich now, it can't be like this forever.
Jingyang Palace got a windfall, not a monthly allowance.
Shang Zongguan was kind enough to give them fifty taels last time, but where can he find such a good thing next time?
Moreover, Yu'er didn't want to use the money, and planned to save it for Princess Ankang in the future.
The days when the family had no savings were really too frightening.
Therefore, during this period, Yu'er used the money she picked up.
Although the frequency of picking up money has been getting lower and lower recently, and the amount has been getting smaller and smaller.
Although Yu'er set up a few more banquets later, the effect was not very good.
She estimated that the spirit of Concubine Xiao in heaven was about to reach the limit.
From now on, they can only rely on themselves.
In this case, Yu'er was even more reluctant to spend the money on herself.
"I hope I just have a big appetite today."
At the dinner table, Li Xuan saw Yu'er's worried expression and couldn't help sighing.
It's not that he couldn't understand Yu'er's thoughts.
The child is used to being poor, and the habit of frugality can't be changed in a short time.
And after experiencing the pain of poverty, he is even more afraid of returning to the old days.
Therefore, even if many people have a good life, they still can't change their stingy habits.
"When it's time to use it, you still have to use it."
Li Xuan also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Yu'er had the talent to practice martial arts.
Her brother's aptitude for martial arts is very good, but I don't know how she, as a sister, is?
If Yu'er also has this talent, Li Xuan naturally doesn't want her to bury herself.
"Just practicing the Ten Tiger Forms, ordinary people's appetite will inevitably increase. It's not okay for Yu'er to be reluctant to eat."
"We have to think of a way to let her eat as much as she wants."
Thinking about this, Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Princess Ankang who was dozing at the table.
Just like before, her good condition was gradually fading.
But unlike Yu'er's situation, Princess Ankang's appetite did not increase at all, and it was still the same as before.
Logically speaking, at this stage, it is necessary to replenish the consumed energy through eating.
But it seems that Princess Ankang doesn't need it.
Li Xuan guessed that this should be related to the chill in her body.
Although the chill was the reason why Princess Ankang was weak and sickly, it seemed to be some kind of power that he could not understand.
Otherwise, there would be no ability to purify the icy breath.
Neither Princess Ankang nor Li Xuan could control this power.
Perhaps they would have such an opportunity only when they were stronger.
But no matter what, Princess Ankang did not have an increase in appetite after practicing the Ten Tiger Forms.
Moreover, Li Xuan needed to wait until the icy breath was completely restored before he could continue to practice with Princess Ankang, which would take a long time.
But after several attempts, he also found that the icy breath would not only be purified, but also recover faster and faster.
To a certain extent, Princess Ankang was Li Xuan's external humanoid plug-in, which complemented his extraordinary talent.
...
The next day.
Li Xuan wanted to pull Yu'er to bed again.
Princess Ankang also wanted to join in the fun, but was ruthlessly driven away by Li Xuan, who only allowed her to watch by the bed.
Princess Ankang is also very intelligent. From the last time Li Xuan stopped her from practicing, to the signs that he took the initiative to practice with him yesterday, she has already noticed that she may need to rest for a while before she can play games with them on the bed because of her weak body.
But understanding is one thing, and emotion is another.
Thinking that Xuan and Yu'er want to do such a comfortable thing without her, Princess Ankang is even more depressed.
Princess Ankang sat in a wheelchair with a pouty mouth, almost writing her unhappiness on her face.
Looking at the cute expression of Princess Ankang when she was sulking, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel funny.
But there is no way around it. Princess Ankang has a special physique. If she can't suppress the coldness that breaks out in her body, even Li Xuan doesn't know what the consequences will be.
He naturally won't take such an unknown risk.
But Princess Ankang is sulky, and Yu'er is also reluctant.
"Ah Xuan, this kind of thing shouldn't happen so often, right?"
"It's very comfortable, but too tiring."
"How can I have the energy to work if you keep tossing me like this?"
No matter how loudly Li Xuan slapped the bed, Yu'er refused to come up, and was timid and made all kinds of excuses.
Although Li Xuan felt a little weird, as if he was forcing Yu'er to hand in homework.
But he still insisted, grabbed Yu'er's sleeve and took her to the bed.
Yu'er staggered and fell directly on the bed.
She didn't expect the cat at home to be so strong!
"Ah Xuan, don't."
"You hurt me."
"And His Highness is watching us, it's not good for us to do this!"
Compared to yesterday, Yu'er's refusal today was particularly firm.
Princess Ankang, who was already unhappy, heard this and pointed to the door expressionlessly, asking:
"How about I go?"
Yu'er quickly tidied up her messy clothes, got up from the bed, and said, "Your Highness, I'll take you out."
Li Xuan had already expected Yu'er's reaction, fortunately he was prepared.
He rushed to the front of the two, blocked their way, shouted loudly, and rushed outside.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er looked at each other and said at the same time: "Is Xuan angry?"
"Sister Yu'er, why don't you play with Xuan? And didn't you feel very comfortable yesterday? Why don't you want to today?" Princess Ankang asked.
"This..."
Yu'er bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
She screamed so happily yesterday, and Princess Ankang might not believe her if she said she was uncomfortable.
But if she told the truth, with Princess Ankang's temperament, she would definitely not care about her increased appetite.
But Yu'er felt really bad.
She was in the typical mentality of a big sister at this time.
She would not blink an eye when the family's money was spent on her younger brothers and sisters.
But she would feel very distressed if she spent it on herself.
Yu'er was hesitating and didn't know how to deal with Princess Ankang when Li Xuan came back.
He also brought a big thing from nowhere and was dragging it in.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er saw what he was holding in his mouth and their eyes widened.
The two girls exclaimed in unison: "Ah Xuan, where did you get this thing?"
