Chapter 236 The Crown Prince borrows things to express his feelings
Chu Yunxi gritted his teeth.
"His Highness will naturally be delighted with the company of a beautiful woman. How about Xi'er go back and invite the princess over to have dinner with His Highness?"
Jun Lingyun stopped teasing and touched Chu Yunxi's lips.
"If there are three thousand pieces of water, I only take one gourd to drink it, stream. Whether others are beautiful or ugly, it has nothing to do with me."
Chu Yunxi did not let him go so easily.
"In your eyes, who is more beautiful, the princess of Nan Yan Kingdom, or me?"
Jun Lingyun looked straight into Chu Yunxi's eyes.
"What does the princess of Nanyan Country look like? I have forgotten it a long time ago. My eyes and heart are filled with streams, and I can't tolerate any other women."
Chu Yunxi looked at Jun Lingyun with his own reflection in his eyes, and almost broke his guard.
But she still remembered those days when she was staring at Jun Lingyun's biography and feeling flustered.
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent and has a photographic memory. We have spent more than a month and night together, but he doesn't even remember his appearance. He treats Xi'er like a three-year-old child."
Jun Lingyun smiled again and held the jealous little woman tightly in his arms. His breath blew on her earlobes.
"My Xi'er will be jealous of me. Do you know how cute you are like this? Xi'er, do you already like me?"
Chu Yunxi's ears were itching, and it was itching all the way to his heart.
"Well, it depends on your performance."
She tried her best to hold the line of defense, but her stammering look betrayed her heart that had been captured.
Jun Lingyun lowered his head and smiled, "Xi'er, be good and don't mean what you say. Otherwise, you will be punished."
He finally tasted Chu Yunxi's uvula, and a ball of fire spread from his heart to his skin, wrapping around the little woman in front of him, teasing her until she couldn't breathe before he gave up.
"Xi'er, how's my performance? If it's not good enough, I can still work harder."
Chu Yunxi could barely hold her breath, but her mind went blank.
"No, that's not necessary."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes in annoyance. When it came to being cheeky, she could never compare to Jun Lingyun.
Fortunately, a knock on the door rang in time, saving her position from total collapse.
"Your Royal Highness, Crown Princess, the food is about to be served."
"Come in."
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi's rosy little face and felt very good.
Chu Yunxi was already sitting upright, with a calm aura, but her wandering eyes announced that she was having wild thoughts.
The waiter lowered his head and brought out exquisite dishes one after another. The shopkeeper actually came to announce the names of the dishes himself.
“Beautiful scenery on a good day~”
Appetizer fruit plate? Chu Yunxi thought to himself, he is pretty good at naming it.
"Reunion and reunion~"
Sixi meatballs? It’s also suitable for the occasion.
"Sweet sweet~"
It's the honey jujube that she likes.
"Heart to heart~"
Chu Yunxi looked at the carrots and asparagus specially carved into a heart shape, and felt that something was not quite right.
"Such affection~"
A plate of honey chicken wings was placed in front of Chu Yunxi. She looked up at the shopkeeper with a sneer on her face and endured it.
"Being close to each other~"
Zhi, sesame candy? Chu Yunxi stretched out her little hand and forced out a smile.
"That's enough, that's enough, no need to go on."
With so much sweetness, doesn’t Jun Lingyun not like sweets?
The shopkeeper has a lovely smile.
"Princess, there is another soup."
Chu Yunxi retracted her little hand in a sullen voice, and the shopkeeper cleared his throat again and told the name of the dish in a clear and concise tone.
"Mandarin ducks playing in the water~"
Chu Yunxi stared at the mandarin ducks carved from unknown vegetables on the clear soup, blinked, and raised his brows a little.
Thinking back to the name of the dish that the shopkeeper had just reported, she really wished she could find a crack in the floor and crawl in. Which song was Jun Lingyun singing? She wasn't afraid of being laughed at.
Jun Lingyun had been drinking tea next to her, quietly admiring the changing expressions on her face like a palette.
"Xier, do you still like it?"
Chu Yunxi swallowed and looked up at the shopkeeper who was also looking forward to her reply. It seemed that if she didn't say she liked it, the shopkeeper would immediately express his heartache to her.
"Hi, I like it."
She had no choice but to mutter something perfunctory in a low voice without losing embarrassment.
Only then did the shopkeeper feel satisfied.
"Your Highness, Crown Princess, please use it slowly. I won't disturb you anymore. Please step back."
The waiter followed the shopkeeper and respectfully exited the private room.
The room became quiet again, and Chu Yunxi scratched his head, feeling very distressed.
"Xi'er, didn't you say you like it? Why don't you move the chopsticks?"
Chu Yunxi really wanted to roll her eyes and glare at Jun Lingyun, but this look in Jun Lingyun's eyes showed no lethality. Instead, it seemed more like flirting.
"It's not mine anymore. I'll provide food for Xi'er right away."
Jun Lingyun picked up the chopsticks and picked the best piece of each dish for Chu Yunxi and put it into the bowl. His movements were noble and elegant, which was pleasing to the eye.
However, with these talented dish names, Chu Yunxi didn't know how to eat it.
"Are you done with all the things in the palace?" There is so much leisure and leisure to do.
Of course, she only said the second half of the sentence in her heart.
However, Chu Yunxi didn't know that Jun Hongyan would arrive in the capital soon, and only thought that Jun Lingyun was entering the palace to report to the emperor.
"While eating and chatting, these are all dishes specially prepared for Xi'er."
Jun Lingyun said the word "special" very seriously to show his sincerity.
Chu Yunxi took a deep breath, and as if in a fit of anger, he stuffed the whole round ball into his mouth and chewed it hard.
Coupled with her already angry expression, she looked like a chubby field mouse for a moment.
Jun Lingyun raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, trying his best not to laugh out loud. He didn't want to annoy Chu Yunxi at the dinner table.
One of them worked diligently to serve the dishes, and the other worked diligently to eat.
It wasn't until Chu Yunxi was eighty percent full that she put down her chopsticks and rubbed her comfortable belly. Although the names of these dishes were not satisfactory, she liked the taste.
Seeing that she had eaten and drank enough, Jun Lingyun explained the current situation one by one.
"Jun Hongyan is already on his way back to Beijing. He is expected to arrive in the capital tomorrow morning at the latest."
Chu Yunxi frowned in disgust, wanting to see that disgusting scum again, she felt her stomach churn.
"Once Jun Hongyan arrives in the capital, Duke Xiao will take action soon, and the capital will be in crisis."
Chu Yunxi nodded, this was just as she expected. That's why she took precautions. Jun Lingyun continued:
"In order to prevent the ministers of the DPRK from being coerced by Duke Xiao, Xi'er, tomorrow morning, I need you, as the Crown Princess, to call all the family members of the DPRK's important ministers to the palace for centralized protection."
Chu Yunxi was startled. This kind of thing should have been done by the master of the harem, but now, the main palace is vacant, and the imperial concubine has not yet decided.
And whether the concubines can do this kind of thing is another matter. If they are not of the same mind as Jun Lingyun, everything will be lost.
"Okay, don't worry, I will invite all the ministers' families to the East Palace in the name of praying for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi, his eyes filled with brilliance. This was such an irresistible and seemingly reasonable reason.
"Just make arrangements with Xi'er. I will try my best to delay Jun Hongyan's return to Beijing and buy you time. The soldiers the emperor has contacted have already sent someone to deliver the message secretly."
He reached out and pulled Chu Yunxi onto his lap, taking her whole body into his arms.
"Don't worry Xi'er, I'll take care of everything."
