There’s still time to practice!
What she is most worried about now is the lack of time. The method Namtso taught her is not difficult. She quickly understood the principles. She just needs to master it skillfully. If she can have time to practice a few more times, she is confident. Can win that contest.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
She looked at Namco who was standing in front of the bed. He had been staring at her since she woke up, his cheetah-like eyes flashing with a light she couldn't understand.
He no longer stared at her like he was looking at prey, but rather like he was studying her.
But she had no intention of paying attention to his thoughts. She wanted her body to recover quickly. What she needed was a healthy body.
Feeding him blood caused her to lose too much blood. She felt light all over and had no strength to even walk. Her eyes were getting dark intermittently. However, she believed that as long as she rested for two days and ate some blood-rich food, she would definitely get better. She still has important things to do.
"Okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll tell them to do it right away."
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He should have asked the cook to prepare food long ago, but he didn't even think of it.
When she was unconscious, he stayed by her bed without blinking. He didn't feel hungry, so he didn't think that the first thing she wanted to do after waking up was to eat.
"I want to drink spinach and pork liver porridge, red dates and longan soup, chestnut glutinous rice cake, black-bone chicken stewed with lotus root, and a big bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea. The sooner the better."
Shen Ning was not polite to him and told him several blood-tonifying dishes and porridge.
"I'll remember it. Just wait a moment. I'll ask them to prepare it and send it over immediately."
Namco frowned slightly when he heard these strange dish names. He had never heard of some of them, but it didn't matter. As long as she ordered it, he would get it for her even if it was dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.
He sent people to summon all the cooks in the kitchen, and then read out the names of the dishes and asked them to cook them immediately, without missing any of them.
The cooks looked at each other, then knelt down together.
"Your Highness, everything else is easy to talk about, but it's April now, and even the lotus flowers haven't bloomed yet. Where can there be lotus roots? Without lotus roots, no matter how good our cooking skills are, we still can't make the dish of black-bone chicken stewed with lotus roots. ah!"
When Namco heard this, she was so irritated that she wanted to kill people. But if she killed these cooks, who would cook her food
"Trash, all of them are rubbish. What do I want from you? It's just lotus roots. If you have money, I'm afraid I can't buy them!"
The cooks murmured in their hearts: There are so many things in the world that money can't buy. Even if you are His Royal Highness, you can't let the camellias bloom in June in April. You won't be able to eat winter bamboo shoots in summer, and you won't be able to eat summer bamboo shoots in winter. Broad beans.
But no one dared to say these words, as they would lose their heads as soon as they were said.
"My prince, no matter what method you use, you must get the lotus root, otherwise, hum!"
Namco turned around and strode away.
A bunch of cooks were left complaining. His Royal Highness was obviously making trouble unreasonably, but they didn't dare to disobey him.
The steaming dishes were all brought in. Namtso sat in front of the bed and fed her herself.
"Your Highness, I will eat it myself." Shen Ning wanted to take the spoon from his hand, but he held on tightly.
"Both of your wrists are injured. The doctor has bandaged you and told you not to exert force or move around. Just sit down and I will feed you."
