Chapter 672
Chapter 672
When she asked Yichuan for his opinion, the little guy expressed his willingness to learn martial arts without hesitation.
This made Nier more determined to find a good master for him.
However, finding a good master is not easy.
After all, the enlightenment stage is crucial to a child's growth and must be chosen carefully.
Ni'er wondered whether she should go to Prince Li to inquire about the situation. He must know something about it.
However, Prince Li has seldom come here recently, probably because he is busy with official duties.
Ni'er couldn't help but guess that perhaps it was because the border situation was turbulent and Prince Li was busy dealing with these things and had no time to come.
Just as Ni'er was daydreaming, Prince Li's servant suddenly stepped into the door of Yunlai Restaurant.
"Shopkeeper Xiao Ni!" the servant called out enthusiastically.
"Oh, you're here!" Ni'er responded quickly, and her eyes fell behind the servant, expecting to see Prince Li.
However, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart because she didn't see any trace of Prince Li.
"Where is the prince?" Ni'er asked anxiously, unable to suppress her inner doubts.
The servant sighed and explained, "The prince has been so busy lately that he hasn't even had time to eat."
"I took advantage of the fact that he has a little free time today and came here to pre-order a few dishes. When the prince comes over later, he will be able to enjoy fresh and hot meals."
After hearing the names of the dishes announced by the servant, Nier quickly picked up a pen and wrote them down one by one, then walked quickly to the kitchen, handed the menu to the chef, and asked them to prepare the dishes as soon as possible.
Just as Nier expected, the prince came to the store not long after.
"Your Highness, long time no see! Please take a seat in the box upstairs." Ni'er walked up to him with a smile on her face and greeted him warmly.
The prince looked a little exhausted, his face was covered with stubble, and there was a dark blue tint around his eyes.
When Ni'er saw this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. The food will be ready soon." Ni'er said softly, then turned around to urge the kitchen staff to speed up the serving of the dishes.
After a while, the steaming hot food was served on the table.
Ni'er personally served the prince some food and asked with concern, "Prince, have you been overworked recently? You should take care of your health."
The prince looked at Ni'er in front of him, and emotions surged in his heart like a tide, but he didn't know how to express it.
After a moment's silence, he finally said, "Are you...busy?"
Ni'er shook her head and replied, "I'm not busy, Your Majesty."
The prince then said, "If you are not busy, let's eat together."
This was a good opportunity. Ni'er sat down next to the prince without any hesitation.
The prince stared at Ni'er in front of him, and a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal revealed in his deep eyes.
"I'll be leaving for the border in a while." The prince's voice was low and slightly hoarse. "I finally managed to spare some time today."
Ni'er looked closely and her heart tightened. The prince's face seemed much thinner than before, and his cheeks, which were originally a little thin, were now even more sunken.
"Your Highness, please eat more. Once you reach the border, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy these dishes for a long time."
After saying that, Ni'er picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of food for the prince, and put it in the bowl in front of him.
The food in the bowl smells so good that it makes your mouth water.
When the prince smelled the tempting aroma, his appetite suddenly increased, and the fatigue and stress of many days seemed to be relieved at this moment.
He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, completely disregarding his usual manners, and stuffed two mouthfuls of food into his mouth like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food.
As soon as the food entered his throat, the prince felt a warmth slowly flowing down his esophagus into his stomach. It was a feeling he had never experienced anywhere else, and his body and mind gradually recovered without him noticing.
The prince chewed the food in his mouth, enjoying this moment of satisfaction.
However, when he looked up inadvertently, he found that Ni'er was staring at him quietly.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the prince's heart. He smiled unnaturally and said with a hint of embarrassment, "You should eat quickly too."
"Okay." Ni'er replied with a smile, and then began to enjoy the sumptuous meal.
Ni'er picked up the chopsticks and slowly put the food into her mouth.
The prince noticed that Ni'er was a little absent-minded while eating, as if something was bothering her. Since the prince himself was almost full at this time, he asked with concern, "Are you bothered by something?"
This is indeed a good opportunity for Nier.
If I don't tell you now, it will be difficult for you to see the prince again for a long time.
So, she mustered up her courage and said, "Your Highness, I want to find a good martial arts master for my brother Yichuan, but I haven't found a suitable one yet. Do you have anyone suitable?"
The prince was a little surprised when he heard Ni'er's request.
After all, learning martial arts is not an easy thing and requires a lot of effort and sweat.
He couldn't help but ask, "You want to send your brother to learn martial arts? That's very hard."
Ni'er put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and explained seriously, "I think Yichuan has this talent. He often learns a few moves from others and does them quite well. He also told me that he wants to be a general in the future."
The prince was immediately interested when he heard this. It was truly rare for a child to have such lofty ambitions.
He smiled and said, "Good boy, you are ambitious. You know what you want to do in the future at such a young age."
"I happen to know a Master Li who is quite good at Kung Fu, but I've been very busy lately and can't take you there directly. I'll let my trusted confidant take you there."
Ni'er picked up a piece of fresh vegetable with chopsticks and put it in the prince's bowl.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
The prince looked at the food in his bowl with some disdain, "Is this how you thank me?"
Nier was amused by his appearance, "Of course not."
She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and in the bottle was the soul-restoring pill that she had carefully refined.
This soul-restoring pill is made from spiritual spring water and various top-grade medicinal materials. Its efficacy is amazing.
Nier gently placed the porcelain bottle on the table, pushed it in front of the prince, and said, "This medicine is called the Soul-Restoring Pill. It is very effective, but the medicinal ingredients are hard to find. There is only this one pill, so you must use it sparingly."
The prince picked up the porcelain bottle curiously and looked at it carefully.
Although the bottle is small, it is heavy, obviously containing a lot of medicine.
He opened the bottle cap and a faint medicinal fragrance came to his nose, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
"Thank you." The prince said sincerely, and he put the porcelain bottle in his arms.
The prince felt a little reluctant, "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
