The elders often say that ignorance is bliss.
At this moment, Yuan Bao could be said to be full of blessings.
She didn’t even remember her identity as a transmigrator, and many memories from before her journey had been selectively forgotten or sealed away.
The current Yuan Bao is just a slightly precocious little girl. Hmm, this little girl also possesses the mindset of an adult.
"You little girl, you scared me to death earlier. Are you hungry?"
"You didn’t eat anything yesterday!"
Yuan Bao nodded vigorously.
She hadn’t eaten much in the morning yesterday, just had some pastries in the afternoon, and nothing until this morning. Of course she was hungry!
"Then wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring you breakfast!"
Because Yuan Bao had a high fever yesterday, today’s breakfast had to be light.
However, even a light breakfast in this mansion amazed Yuan Bao. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fiɾe·net
It was also porridge, but for ordinary families, it would be millet porridge, sorghum porridge, or corn grits porridge, while Yuan Bao’s breakfast today could be called the ancient version of eight-treasure porridge.
Yuan Bao couldn’t distinguish all the things added to the porridge.
Anyway, one word: delicious!
Two words: deliciously sweet!
The most precious thing was that this ancient version of eight-treasure porridge had sugar added to it.
At this time, sugar was truly a luxury item.
In fact, during this era, any kind of sugar was a luxury. Ordinary families only bought a little during festivals, or when a woman was in confinement after childbirth, they might prepare some.
"Alright, you still had a fever yesterday. The doctor instructed that you can’t eat too much right now!"
"After you take your medicine, let’s eat some more in an hour."
Although Yuan Bao wasn’t full, Ruan Wan didn’t show any leniency before the doctor’s orders, even with Yuan Bao’s pouting and pleas, she still didn’t allow another bowl.
It was one thing to not be full, but after fifteen minutes, someone from the kitchen brought a small bowl of dark medicine.
"Ruan, can I not drink it?"
"I’m really better now; look, I can run and jump. I’m really fine!"
The smell of the medicine made Yuan Bao feel like vomiting.
Ruan Wan lightly tapped Yuan Bao’s forehead, "I wonder what you little girl think about all day, worrying yourself sick at such a young age!"
"This medicine has a calming effect!"
"Be good, take your medicine, and we can have some candied fruit, it’s really sweet!"
"Do you want to try a piece first?"
As she spoke, Ruan Wan opened the lid of a small white porcelain jar on the table.
As soon as the lid was opened, Yuan Bao smelled the fragrant honey.
"Then I want two pieces!"
"Sure, as long as you take the medicine, you can have three!"
Seeing Yuan Bao’s sparkling eyes, Ruan Wan replied with a smile.
"Then, let’s pinky promise, no backing out!"
"Pinky promise, no backing out!"
With big and small hands hooked together, the agreement was made.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath, accepted the small bowl from Ruan Wan, and without breathing, downed it in one gulp.
The medicine was as bitter as she imagined.
Yuan Bao gulped down the medicine and felt like she was going to vomit.
The next moment, a sweet piece of candied fruit was popped into her mouth.
The bitterness of the medicine was suppressed, and Yuan Bao’s expression changed immediately, her little face blossoming like a flower with happiness.
