Under Song Yan's watchful eye, Xie Shizhu failed to hold the bucket in his hand and fell on the roof and rolled along the tiles to the eaves.

It fell to the ground with a "dong" sound.

Song Yan walked unhurriedly to the eaves, bent down and picked up the barrel on the ground.

Although he witnessed Xie Shizhu pouring water on the princess, when Song Yan, as the prince, looked up at the woman on the roof, there was no blame on his face, but he looked at her with gentle eyes.

Xie Shizhu's mind was racing at this moment. If Song Yan saw Song Yan flying to the roof easily, he would probably have a knife hidden under his gentle and elegant expression.

She might have died in Song Yan's hands earlier than the original owner.

When Xie Shizhu's face turned pale, the man's weak and magnetic voice came into Xie Shizhu's ears, with some concern: "Xie Shizhu, how did you climb up to the roof?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu's tense body quickly relaxed.

Xie Shizhu gestured with familiar hands and said: "Back to the prince, after I climbed up the tree, I jumped from the tree to the roof."

Song Yan looked at her hand, then slowly moved it to the woman's creamy face. His thin lips curved into a nice arc, and she said softly: "Okay, then come down quickly."

Xie Shizhu nodded his head obediently.

She glanced around and saw a sycamore tree next to the roof, and in Song Yan's sight, she slowly walked to the eaves.

Xie Shizhu lifted the hem of her skirt, used some help to jump onto the tree, held the trunk with both hands, and slid down with difficulty.

Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the woman get down from the tree with trembling legs.

It seems that climbing trees is more difficult and scary for her.

After coming down, Xie Shizhu walked up to Song Yan with a low eyebrow, like a well-behaved little lady.

Song Yan returned the barrel to her, looked down into the woman's eyes, and chuckled: "Why did you do this to the princess just now?"

His tone was very soft, not like blaming, but more like asking about a trivial household matter.

Xie Shizhu lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Song Yan's gaze, and gestured with his slender hands: "Back to the prince, my sister came to my house with her maid in the early morning, and she poured a bucket of cold water on me. My mother once taught me,

To fight tooth for tooth is the virtue of a Northern Desert woman..."

Song Yan was silent for a few seconds, then curled his thin lips slightly and said, "Well, I understand."

Xie Shizhu still lowered his head and stared at his toes, waiting for Song Yan's punishment.

But after a long time, the man in front of me never said a word again.

Xie Shizhu raised his head blankly, his confused eyes looking into the man's smiling eyes.

Song Yan's eyes are very beautiful, with an inner hook and an outward curl, with a bit of heroism, a clear face, and gentle eyes.

Xie Shizhumeng's cheeks turned a little red, and the speed of his sign language was obviously a little slower than usual: "Why don't you blame me, Your Majesty?"

Song Yan said: "You have done nothing wrong. I am not an ignorant person, so I will not blame you."

Hearing this, Xie Shizhu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Not far from the dining room, a few maids came slowly. It was time for breakfast.

They were the maids of the four concubines, and they came to the dining room to prepare meals for the concubines.

Every morning we eat together with the wise king.

The rest will be arranged separately.

Song Yan said to the woman who was still there: "It's time to eat, let's go."

Xie Shizhu bowed slightly, saluted, and followed Song Yan like a follower.

When they arrived at the palace where Song Yan lived, there were very few maids in the room, only three. When they saw Song Yan, they hurriedly saluted and then left the main hall.

The palace is different from the palaces of other princes, it is shabby and dilapidated.

There was only a small round table in the main hall, with a teapot placed in the middle. Even the teapot had a hole in it.

Song Yan was already used to it. He picked up the teapot with his long fingers and poured himself a glass of water, then slowly sat down.

After he sat down, Xie Shizhu still stood beside him unmoved.

The system was silent for a few seconds and said: [Arthur, please sit down.]

Xie Shizhu: "..."

The maids who went to the dining room just now have already brought the food to the table.

Song Yan noticed that Xie Shizhu had not yet sat down, so he turned to look at the woman who was standing straight. He suddenly thought that he was the prince, and then felt something strange in his heart, and said in a particularly soft tone: "Sit down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu saluted and then sat next to Song Yan.

After a while, the other four princesses also came to the main hall.

After they saluted lazily and absentmindedly, they didn't pay any attention to the wise king. They each pulled out their chairs at will and sat down.

Chao Lan's cheeks were very red, not normal red, but as if she had been burned.

The other concubines asked worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with your face?"

Chao Lan's fingers holding the chopsticks were trembling, her eyes were filled with fierceness, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Today I went to the dining room and poured boiling water on it for no apparent reason. Fortunately, I didn't get burned. If I catch you, I will definitely not forgive you."

Hearing Chao Lan's words, Xie Shizhu was so frightened that he lowered his head.

Suddenly, Song Yan's voice reached the ears of several people, and for the first time he said in a commanding tone: "Have a meal."

Chao Lan frowned slightly and closed her mouth unwillingly.

Xie Shizhu picked up her chopsticks to pick up some food, but when she saw a few dishes on the table, she suddenly felt uninterested.

It's all vegetarian, not even oil or water can be seen.

The system sighed: [I have no appetite even looking at it.]

The maid brought the porridge and placed it gently in front of Song Yan.

Song Yan pushed the bowl in front of Xie Shizhu's eyes, and said softly: "You can eat it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the concubines who were having their meal raised their heads and looked at each other.

Xie Shizhu was slightly shocked and looked at Song Yan with confusion in his eyes.

Then when she was about to make a gesture, Song Yan smiled slightly, raised her chin, and signaled her to have a meal.

Xie Shizhu picked up the bowl, put his lips against the mouth of the bowl, and took a slow sip, and then a strange look appeared on his face.

Hot, too hot!

This perversion is intentional.

Song Yan was testing whether she was really mute or pretending to be mute, and wanted to test whether she would scream subconsciously or make a sound of pain after taking a sip of hot porridge.

Xie Shizhu took a sip of the porridge, and then his face turned red from the heat. The hand holding the bowl trembled. Because it was too painful, he did not hold the bowl and turned it sideways. The porridge in the bowl directly splashed all over Song Yan beside him.

The system rolled its eyes: [The two people combined have 10086 minds. 】

The scalding white porridge was slightly hot through his robe, but Song Yan didn't seem to feel it.

His eyes were completely focused on Xie Shizhu's face.

Because of his temptation, the woman's face turned red, her lips were gleaming with water, and she slightly stuck out her tongue. She fanned frequently with both hands, trying to extinguish the burning sensation on the tip of her tongue.

The woman's petal-like eyes were stained with water, as if she had been burned and had to hold back tears uncomfortably, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Song Yan suddenly felt a layer of guilt in her heart, and seemed to regret the temptation just now.

At this time, Xie Shizhu's malice value dropped.

The system danced with excitement: [Fuck, host, Song Yan doesn’t believe you are mute! The malice value has dropped to 85, awesome!]

Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Calm down."

Several concubines lowered their heads and snickered, thinking that the prince suddenly favored a concubine, but they did not expect that the porridge was hot.

Chao Lan was smiling openly, especially when she saw Xie Shizhu's embarrassed appearance after being burned, she felt very comfortable.

Before they had finished laughing, Song Yan's voice reached everyone's ears. Although it was still the weak and gentle tone of the past, it had an added tone that could not be ignored: "This porridge is hot, why do you have to bring it to the table?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chao Lan.

When Chao Lan smiled just now, before she could retract the corner of her mouth, she was questioned by Song Yan.

The princess has always taken care of the food in the palace, so it was understandable that Song Yan asked her.

Chao Lan stopped laughing for a moment.

Song Yan said calmly: "According to the regulations of the palace, you will receive the punishment yourself."

Chao Lan froze. She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, so marrying into Prince Xian's palace was an injustice. Moreover, Prince Xian was still a frail and sick prince.

Maybe he will die of illness one day.

Now she still has to receive her punishment at Prince Xian's Mansion.

This shameful thing made Chao Lan's face stiffen.

However, since she married the wise king, although she has taken the position of concubine, she does not have any power. Her father has long since ignored her.

She probably wouldn't be affected even if she knew she was being punished.

Chao Lan stood up slowly, lowered his head, saluted unwillingly, and said: "Yes."

According to the rules of the palace, she needs to deduct half a year's salary and be grounded for three days.

After Chao Lan was punished, no one dared to speak, and the entire meal was extremely quiet.

But Song Yan did not move his chopsticks. Xie Shizhu took two bites, put down his chopsticks and gestured: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat?"

Song Yan smiled softly and said, "I'm not hungry."

Xie Shizhu nodded.
