All food and benefits at Danqiong Yuan were stopped, which was obviously an attempt to give her a show of strength.
Chu Yunning sneered: "We have lived a prosperous life in Lengxiangyuan for five years. It's ridiculous for a majestic prince to be so narrow-minded!"
After being cut off from Danqiongyuan's food for several days, Prince Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Is there any movement from the princess' side?"
The guard said: "Back to your lord, the door of Danqiong Courtyard has been closed, and I have not inquired about anything going on inside."
Could something happen?
King Xiao thought again and again and finally got up and went to Danqiong Courtyard.
The door was locked, and it was quiet inside. You couldn't see inside through the wall. Prince Xiao hesitated at the door whether to go in or not.
Then he thought about it, he didn't want to see that face.
At this time, there was a fragrance in the air. Prince Xiao frowned, wondering if he had smelled it wrong, and inhaled hard again.
"Where did this fragrance come from?"
The guard pointed at the locked door. Prince Xiao couldn't help but jumped up and climbed over the wall.
I saw Chu Yunning building a fire next to a small pond, sitting on the ground, holding two sticks in his hands, with fish stuck on the other ends of the sticks.
She is grilling fish!
Beibei sat on a clean stone nearby, lowering his head and chewing something in big mouths. His mouth was full, and the food was particularly delicious.
King Xiao swallowed his throat, the taste was indeed very fragrant.
"Huh?" Beibei was keenly aware of Prince Xiao's presence, still holding the chicken leg in his mouth. He looked at the visitor with wide eyes, and pointed at Chu Yunning with his white and tender fingers stained with oil.
Chu Yunning turned around and teased with a half-smile: "What kind of wind has brought the prince here?"
Prince Xiao tied one hand around his waist and looked down at the mother and son, opening his mouth without knowing what to say.
Can he say that he is a little worried about mother and son?
King Xiao's eyes fell on the fish. A plump and huge fish had been processed very clean, seasoned and roasted on the fire. It was exuding a burst of aroma. There was a black fish in the fire not far away.
The thick soil exudes the fragrance of lotus leaves.
But the fish looked more and more familiar, and it looked very much like the koi he kept in the lotus pond.
"This fish...is the koi from the lotus pond in the west!"
King Xiao's eyes widened.
Chu Yunning nodded without hesitation and gave a thumbs up to Prince Xiao: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight!"
Prince Xiao's chest heaved up and down with anger, and he pointed angrily at Chu Yunning: "Do you know how much effort I put into raising these fish, and who allowed you to eat them secretly?"
This fish is usually specially guarded by someone, and ordinary people are not allowed to get close to it at all.
Chu Yunning ignored Wang Xiao's words and continued to bake.
"Chu Yunning, you are so brave, you dare to steal my king's koi!"
"My lord, I grilled the fish just to save your face. This fish has no eyesight and is so stupid that it just landed on the shore as soon as it was caught."
Chu Yunning was worried that she had nothing to eat. She happened to pass by the lotus pond and saw a group of fish playing happily. The colorful koi carp were raised to be very fat and dangled in front of her eyes.
So she didn't care much, she caught a few fish a day and cooked and ate them in various ways.
I never thought I would be caught by the owner of the koi.
"You!" Prince Xiao choked with anger, and the veins on his forehead jumped. This woman actually pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and laughed at the fish he raised for being too stupid!
Chu Yunning generously raised one of them and handed it to Prince Xiao: "It's a bit stupid, but it tastes pretty good and the meat is plump and tender."
Prince Xiao's eyes turned red at this moment, and he wished he could throw Chu Yunning into the fire to roast him, making a crunching sound with his fists.
"Mom, can't we eat this fish? Then what will we eat in the future?"
Beibei suddenly spoke, looking at the fish innocently, like a pitiful little boy.
"Phew!" Prince Xiao's anger suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball.
"Mom, Beibei can no longer eat fish or chicken from now on. Just eat vegetables and porridge."
Beibei wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, nestled in Chu Yunning's arms, raised his head and looked at King Xiao with clear eyes and fear: "Don't punish my mother, we won't eat anymore, and we will pay you for it."
"
The corner of Xiao Wang's mouth twitched slightly, and he began to wonder if he had gone too far. It was just a few fish, and how could he go to such great lengths to fight?
Chu Yunning touched her son's head. This child had a talent for acting since he was a child. He would act cute and pretend to be miserable when he made a mistake. She was fooled many times and couldn't bear to blame him.
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Prince Xiao. Sure enough, this guy's anger had been weakened by most of it.
"Beibei, mother, there's nothing we can do about it. You're still young and it's time for you to grow up. It's not like we still have three meals a day in Lengxiang Garden. If we had known earlier, we might as well have stayed in Lengxiang Garden." Chu
Yun Ning sighed.
Beibei took the wooden stick from Chu Yunning's hand and raised it high, imitating everyone's call to the prince: "Your Majesty, it's all Beibei's fault that the fish is returned to you. It was Beibei who wanted to eat the fish. If you want to blame it, then blame him."
Go north."
The mother and son sang together, and King Xiao was riding a tiger but couldn't get off. He was not angry, either because of blame or not. What was he doing to care about a child?
Prince Xiao curled up his fist and put it to his lips and coughed twice: "That's all, I won't pursue this matter, just this once!"
Beibei bravely stood up and put the wooden stick in King Xiao's hand. His small palm touched King Xiao's cold palm, and King Xiao was stunned for a moment.
This feeling is very similar to when he held Chu'er's hand five years ago, feeling inexplicably cordial.
Thinking of that child, the remaining anger in King Xiao's heart disappeared, and he took the fish unnaturally.
Chu Yunning looked at the unfamiliar interaction between father and son, and raised his long eyebrows. This man was handsome, rich and powerful. He was a second-generation super rich man.
The only bad thing is the love brain.
When Ye Yaner is not around, she is still a normal person.
Prince Xiao's cold face was still a little unnatural, and he said to the guards behind him: "If you are short of food in Danqiong Courtyard today, ask the big kitchen to bring it to you."
"yes!"
Beibei grinned: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Xiao looked down at Beibei, feeling something strange in his heart. He felt sour and itchy, and wanted to restrain himself from getting close to Beibei.
"Don't think too much, I am worried that you will starve to death, and I will be charged with a harsh and cruel crime."
After saying that, King Xiao left as if fleeing from danger.
Prince Xiao was walking in the yard, holding a wooden stick in his hand. The fish on the stick still exuded an alluring aroma.
When there was no one around, Xiao Wang lowered his head and took a sip. It was so delicious that he had never tried it before.
