Chapter 4 — The Lord Changes Destiny

He smiled at me, two faint dimples appeared on his lips: "Your Excellency Van Te, the newly recruited medical officer at the Thai Hospital, is on duty to take the pulse of the princess." As he spoke, he carried the tray and walked over, sitting down on the round chair next to the bed. The dark-brown juice contained in a white ceramic bowl steamed hotly, emitting a strong bitter smell. Van Te raised the bowl of food, gently stirred it with a spoon, took a spoonful, then carefully blew it to cool, then brought it to my lips, as if he wanted to feed me a drink himself. I was startled and quickly took the bowl of medicine from his hand: "I can drink it myself." As soon as the medicine entered my mouth, it was so bitter that my whole face wrinkled. But before I could complain, a clean towel was brought in front of me. On the towel was also placed a sparkling transparent fruit jam. I raised my head and faced Van Te's smiling eyes. Wait until we finish drinking the drink and put the fruit jam in our mouth, then the sweetness will overwhelm the bitterness filling the mouth. He took the empty bowl and checked my pulse again. Confirming that the pulse was much more stable, he stood up and bowed to me and Princess Truong, then took the tray and walked out. From beginning to end, Princess Truong sat on one side, smiling and looking at this scene without saying a word. Waiting for Van Te's figure to disappear outside the door, she leaned closer, gently touched me with her elbow, and hastily asked: "How's that?" "What's wrong?" I still didn't have time to react. "It's Van Te!" The princess was angry because I didn't understand, used her finger to touch my forehead. "Your appearance isn't bad, right? Your personality seems gentle. I've asked about it, your father is Thai Thuong Tu Khanh, and his family background is not low. Sister." Do you like it?" She asked me whether I was laughing or crying: "It's just the first day we met, how can we talk about liking or disliking?" "Oh?" The princess deliberately lengthened her voice, a mischievous light flashed in her eyes. "You don't like it, but people like you so much that they can't stand it." I still wanted to ask, but she waved her hand and stood up. "It's not convenient for me to talk too much about this, just slowly observe." She Patting the back of my hand gently, my voice was relaxed. "Anyway, people have already placed it here for you. You're welcome, even if it's just a toy to entertain you. Okay, I won't disturb your recovery anymore, let's go back to the palace." After saying that, she lightly walked away. I was a bit helpless, but in the end I still let Van Te stay. Anyway, his medical skills are really good and he is also extremely meticulous. Every day, three delicious meals are prepared by him personally supervising the kitchen. Medicines are also always adjusted to the most suitable temperature before being delivered. Sometimes when I cough at night, he may even immediately appear outside the door, asking if I need to come inside to check. Even my brother, who didn't care much about my future life, couldn't help but tease me when he came to visit. He pointed at Van Te, who was preparing medicine for me in the yard, and asked: "Is this the new little maid you accepted? He looks even more intelligent than the people in your yard." I was a bit embarrassed when he talked about it, and in my heart I also felt that continuing like this was really inappropriate. Therefore, I found an opportunity to say to Van Te: "Medical Doctor Van, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. My body has improved much, I think I will no longer have a serious illness. You can return to the Imperial Hospital." Van Te's movement of packing up his medical box stopped. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, looking somewhat pitiful. "Your Highness... are you chasing me away?" His voice was very light, carrying a hint of warmth that was hard to detect. I hastily explained: "I didn't mean that. Just

There are also other nurses in my palace, I'm afraid... afraid of delaying your official affairs." But he raised his head and looked at me seriously. "Before the official came here, Her Royal Highness the Princess Truong instructed, from now on, my only duty is to serve the princess well." He paused, his voice became even lower. "Now everyone in the capital knows that the official was sent to the district princess. If I'm kicked out like this, I'll be laughed at." These words made me a bit stunned. I asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?" He looked straight into my eyes. His clear eyes were like the surface of a lake covered with a thin layer of mist, making it impossible for others to see through. "Laughing at Van Te for not knowing how to be self-reliant, serving in front of the princess for so many days and not even being able to earn the title of male pet."9 "Phew..." I spitting out the tea in my mouth, choking violently, my cheeks turned red. A hand reached out and gently patted my back, the pressure was not heavy or light, just enough to soothe the discomfort. When I raised my head, I immediately faced Van Te's handsome face, he was standing in front of me, taking out a clean towel from his sleeve and carefully wiping the tea from his lap my shirt. The distance is too close.
