Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 252 Gong Yuanzheng 39

"Don't make such a fuss, it'll be fine tomorrow."

She's not that delicate; her mouth just feels a little numb and uncomfortable.

"We'll be doing this more often in the future, so we're just in case."

Gong Yuanzheng turned around and began fiddling with his bottles and jars, picking and choosing and throwing them into the pot.

Qing Yue: "..."

She could almost picture what the future held.

Who would have thought that Grandma's little dog was actually a greedy wolf inside!

While preparing the medicine, Gong Yuanzheng savored the kiss from earlier.

What a wonderful feeling.

When he first heard about it, he thought exchanging saliva was disgusting.

When the object of his affection was Yueqing, he felt it was never enough, never enough, never enough.

Thinking about leaving Qianshan tomorrow, Gong Yuanzheng was a little unhappy. He thought it would be better to wait until he officially came of age before going.

I've just discovered the wonder of doing this kind of thing, and now I have to immediately detach myself from it—that's not fun!

Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was engrossed in studying the ointment, Qingyue turned and left for the kitchen.

The kitchen servants, seeing who had arrived, quickly knelt down and said, "Madam."

"Madam, are you hungry?" a bold maid asked as she stepped forward.

"No." Qingyue shook her head: "I'll tell you a few cold dishes, and you can make them according to the steps."

"Never mind, I'll do it myself. You guys prepare all the necessary materials."

It's better for her to do it herself than to explain it word by word and observe it step by step. There are no recipes for the palace's pastries outside.

"Yes." The maid acknowledged the order and left.

Qingyue looked around at the kitchen utensils and found that they were quite complete and sufficient.

The maid took a strap and fastened Qingyue's sleeve, revealing her fair and smooth arm, which would not hinder her movement or soil her clothes.

"Filter out the good ones."

"Then grind these into powder."

“And these powders need to be sifted.”

The servants readily accepted the order and busied themselves with their tasks.

Qingyue doesn't need to do most of the work; she only needs to handle the most important steps.

Tomorrow morning we're going on an expedition to the back mountain, so getting up early is too rushed. It's perfect to do this now, and I can just store it properly afterward.

The distance between the front and back mountains is not short, so I'll make him something he hasn't tried before so he can have a bite to eat on the way and relieve his hunger.

The Three Realms Trial is a trial, so it will definitely not be easy. I wonder what kind of life he will have after tomorrow, and whether he will be able to eat and sleep well.

...

Gong Yuanzheng poured the prepared medicine into a small jar and waited for it to solidify into a white liquid.

I turned around with the prepared medicine pot, but where was he?!

Why is he all alone now? When did Yueqing leave? Was he so focused on his research that he didn't hear her say it?

Gong Yuanzheng put the medicine pot away and walked out of the pharmacy. He asked the guard at the door.

"Where's Madame?"

"Young master, Madam went to the kitchen and hasn't returned yet."

"The kitchen?" Gong Yuanzheng was taken aback. "What is she going to the kitchen for?"

Guard: "I don't know."

Gong Yuanzheng walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen door was open, and as soon as he stepped inside, he could see clearly the various people inside.

I also saw Qingyue busy at work.

Was Yueqing provoked by Shangguan Qian?

Why did you cook yourself?

Her hands don't need to do such rough work; those beautiful hands should be well cared for.

Upon discovering that Gong Yuanzheng's maids had all half-knelt in greeting.

"Greetings, Young Master Zheng."

Hearing the sound, Qingyue looked up at the doorway. A tall man stood there, blocking most of the light.

Gong Yuanzheng walked over and used a handkerchief to dry Qingyue's hands.

"You don't need to do these things."

Qingyue watched his actions with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. However, she had finished her work and was just waiting to wrap things up. The maids could do the same.

"Just do it today. You're going to the back mountain tomorrow, right? I'll make you some pastries to eat on the way."

Gong Yuanzheng touched her hand; it was very cold, not warm at all, clearly indicating that she had been in contact with a lot of cold water.

"You don't need to do that, just let them do it."

With a cold face, Gong Yuanzheng ordered the maid beside him, "Hurry up and get the hot water bottle."

"Yes."

The maidservant hurriedly fetched a hot water bottle and handed it to Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng placed her hand on the hot water bottle.

"Don't do it anymore. I'm not that picky about food."

In the dead of winter, she touched such cold water; did she want to get frostbite on her hands?

"Okay," Qingyue replied with a smile.

She turned to the maid and gestured for her to bring a plate of pastries she had made.

"Try it and see if it tastes good."

Gong Yuanzheng was very excited about what Qingyue had made by hand, and quickly pinched a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious! What is this?"

Gong Yuanzheng filled his mouth with the sweet, chewy filling, which was just the right amount of sweetness and not cloying.

Qingyue saw that he really liked the food, so she explained.

"Jade Crystal Dumplings, I got the recipe by chance before, I thought it was delicious, so I make some from time to time."

The name contains the character for "group," but the design is in the shape of a flower bud. The outside is crystal clear, and the inside contains a specially selected filling.

Gong Yuanzheng nodded in agreement: "It does taste really good, but you shouldn't cook anymore. They've remembered what I made today. Just call them if you want some."

"I know, no need to emphasize it again." Qingyue smiled helplessly.

Gong Yuanzheng took out the medicine pot he had prepared from his bosom.

"Here, take this. Apply it twice a day."

"I think I'm all better now, I don't need to apply it."

After so long, her mouth is no longer numb.

Gong Yuanzheng: "Keep it for next time."

Qingyue accepted the medicine jar. She figured she would use it frequently, and it was good for her mouth, so it couldn't hurt to keep it.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at the pastries on the table and thought he could give them to his brother to try; he thought his brother would like them.

However, since Yueqing made it herself, only he was allowed to eat it; no one else was permitted to eat it.

Tomorrow I'll tell the kitchen to make another batch and send it to my brother.

Arriving at Gong Yuanzheng's bedroom, this was Qing Yue's first time stepping inside. Compared to her own room, Gong Yuanzheng's room was much simpler and more minimalist.

The maid brought over a box that was easy to carry.

Qingyue adjusted Gong Yuanzheng's clothing according to the climate of the back mountain, making sure he had both thick and thin layers.

"On the expedition, the weather is getting colder and colder. Bring some medicine to keep warm in case of emergencies."

Gong Yuanzheng stood obediently to the side and replied, "Okay, I'll go to the pharmacy later to get some to keep on hand."

Qingyue wasn't too tired. She picked out the clothes, and the maid folded them beside her. If Qingyue did all the work, Gong Yuanzheng would probably get angry at the maid, who had no sense at all.

"Remember what I said: be polite and friendly to people you don't know well, so as not to give them any leverage. Once you know the truth, you can do whatever you want."

The trial also means there are examiners. Who knows if the examiners are upright or not, or if they are secretly observing everything, while the examiner in the open is another examiner.

"Yeah, remember."

Gong Yuanzheng has learned a lot from Qing Yue so far.

He learns very quickly; he can remember even the smallest thing and immediately put it to use.

After the luggage was packed, Gong Yuanzheng waved his hand, dismissing the maids in the room, leaving only the two of them looking at each other.
