Zhu Ying didn't know how long he had been here. Although his emotions could not be inferred from his face, Zhu Ying could feel an invisible air pressure emanating from his body, which made the temperature of the whole room rise. It seemed that he was here.
It’s not too late, everything that needs to be heard has been heard.
The alarm bell in Zhu Ying's heart rang, urging her to leave quickly. She didn't care about her original plan and said "haha": "The prince should have a lot of personal things to talk to Miss Chen. I won't disturb you two anymore.
Farewell, farewell."
As soon as she stepped forward, Su Lan appeared at an inappropriate time with food, followed by the little maid who had returned from making new tea.
"Miss, Your Majesty, Miss Chen, the food is ready."
This made Zhu Ying neither stay nor leave, looking at the Fourteenth Prince awkwardly.
Zhao Yu stepped into the house and said, "The food is ready, do you still want to leave?"
Zhu Ying felt that the dominance had suddenly returned to Zhao Yu's hands, and she was unwilling to do so.
"Your Majesty, you can go now. This is a dinner party between us girls. We will have some words of respect for ourselves later. It is not convenient for you to be there."
Chen Xiaoyue secretly looked at Zhao Yu. There was no murderous look on his face, and she felt slightly shocked. Although Zhao Yu loved her very much, she did not dare to speak like this in front of him. As far as she knew, he dared to be unreasonable to Zhao Yu.
Everyone was killed by him.
Zhao Yu said disapprovingly: "Aren't there three pairs of bowls and chopsticks?"
The implication is that the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks belong to me.
"That's not yours!" When someone pointed it out, Zhu Ying still stubbornly denied it.
Zhao Yu walked to Zhu Ying's side, gritted his teeth in her ear and asked, "Is it possible that you prepared it for Xu Mubai?"
With that look on his face, he was convinced that Zhu Ying was attracted to Xu Mubai, who was gentle and elegant, and that he was indeed a gentleman who could be entrusted to her for the rest of her life.
Zhao Yu didn't wait for Zhu Ying to retort, walked past her to Chen Xiaoyue, and immediately asked in a gentle tone: "Can you get up?"
Zhu Ying was stunned to see that she was fierce to herself, but gentle and considerate to Chen Xiaoyue. She was truly a two-faced person.
Chen Xiaoyue smiled gently, charming to the core.
"I'm not that squeamish!" She said as she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but her broken leg had not healed yet, and she frowned slightly in pain.
Zhu Ying was about to step forward to help, but Zhao Yu bent down and picked her up. Seeing this scene, Zhu Ying suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache. She couldn't even explain why this happened.
Su Lan laid out the meal, and Zhu Ying, Chen Xiaoyue and Zhao Yu sat down one after another. Chen Xiaoyue said to Su Lan and the little maid: "You don't need to wait here anymore, you go down and have a meal!"
Sulan looked at Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying nodded, and Sulan retreated with the little maid.
On the table were six dishes and one soup, a cup of bone soup, a plate of steamed fish with black bean sauce, a bowl of steamed eggs, a bowl of green vegetables, and two dishes that Chen Xiaoyue didn't recognize. She asked Zhao Yu but Zhao with her eyes.
Yu doesn’t know him either.
Although the dishes are simple, they are full of flavor and flavor. The people who cook them are very attentive, and the eater's index finger is moved even before he starts eating.
Zhu Ying put a piece of braised pork on Chen Xiaoyue's bowl and introduced: "This is our Si Youguo's signature side dish. This dish is braised pork with dried plums and vegetables, but there is no dried plums in Daliang, so Su Lan put wild vegetables instead.
Do you know how it tastes?"
Chen Xiaoyue tasted it and was amazed.
"Hmm - the meat is crispy, sweet, oily but not greasy, so delicious."
Zhu Ying beamed when she heard this, as if Chen Xiaoyue was praising her. She hurriedly pushed another dish in front of them and introduced it.
"The other dish is Babao spicy sauce, which uses shrimp, chicken, duck gizzard, pork leg, belly, mushrooms, bamboo shoot slices and dried tofu, plus Sulan's special sauce. It is bright in color, fresh and spicy.
It’s fragrant and very enjoyable to eat in your mouth.”
Zhu Ying took a spoonful and was about to put it into Chen Xiaoyue's bowl. Zhao Yu stretched out his chopsticks to block her hand. He said seriously: "Doctor Zhu, can patients eat spicy food?"
Zhu Ying felt a little embarrassed, then immediately smiled and said: "Excessive amounts of everything are harmful, but it's just something you've never tasted before it's okay."
Chen Xiaoyue also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yu still refused and said, "Give it to me!"
Zhu Ying took back the spoon and ate it without even thinking. Zhao Yu was not annoyed and just looked at her with a half-smile.
Zhu Ying suddenly felt bored and seemed stingy. She pointed to the cup of bone soup and said: "Miss Chen, try the bone soup. This is the bone soup that Suran made specially for you. It took a whole morning and is not good for your legs."
Wounds are healed. This soup is not spicy!"
She said the last sentence to Zhao Yu.
"Xiaoyue, you need to drink more." Zhao Yu immediately and considerately helped Chen Xiaoyue fill a large bowl of soup, gently cooled it and placed it in front of her, "Be careful of it being hot."
He looked at Chen Xiaoyue as if she was the only one in the world. Zhu Ying felt that it was so annoying, and she felt inexplicably irritable.
She was shocked, what was wrong with her? Could it be that she was affected by Chen Xiaoyue's words just now? Impossible, it is impossible for her and the Fourteenth Prince. Apart from the fact that she is Zhu Neng's daughter, her dream is to cross the sea.
Go to the other side of the sea and see, she won't let herself be bound here.
It was all because Miss Chen said those strange words, which made her think wildly. Zhu Ying no longer looked at them, she lowered her head and dug into her rice.
Although Zhao Yu did not look directly at Zhu Ying, he kept paying attention to her from the corner of his eyes. He was very satisfied when he saw Zhu Ying's lost look. He did not believe that he had no charm at all in her eyes.
"Miss Zhu, these meals are not to your liking?"
Zhu Ying was suddenly asked by Zhao Yu and choked and coughed. She knew that Zhao Yu's main course was still coming and he liked to ask roundabout questions.
Chen Xiaoyue quickly poured a glass of water for her and handed it to her, saying: "Miss Zhu, eat slowly!"
Zhu Ying took a sip of water to calm down. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full. I have something else to do. I'll leave first!"
She knew that she seemed timid at the moment, but she might be even more embarrassed if she stayed any longer. It was not like she had not experienced Zhao Yu's careful thinking.
"Don't you, Miss Zhu, still have something to say to Xiaoyue? You are leaving so soon, are you afraid of saying something wrong?"
His eyes looked at Chen Xiaoyue, and Chen Xiaoyue immediately understood the message conveyed in his eyes. She pulled Zhu Ying and asked gently: "Miss Zhu, don't listen to the prince's nonsense, we sisters should talk to each other. By the way, sister
I’m very curious as to which young master a young lady like Miss Zhu has fallen in love with.”
Zhu Ying grabbed the cup and drank water, not daring to raise her head. She really didn't have the confidence to get through in front of Zhao Yu. His eagle-like eyes could penetrate into her heart and pull out the secrets in her heart.
"You are from my hometown. We will get married when we go back this time."
Zhao Yu tightened his grip on the chopsticks and said in a cold voice: "Oh, I wonder which famous family Xu De is the son of? From Si Youguo to the nobles of the emperor's grandson, down to the wealthy businessmen and ministers, I also know him a little bit.
I might as well help you as a counselor."
Zhu Ying was shocked and asked him to be her adviser. Eighteen generations of her ancestors had been found out by him. It was too dangerous here, so the Thirty-six Strategies were the best.
"This is a family matter for ordinary people, so don't spare the prince's trouble. I'm full, you can eat slowly." Zhu Ying ignored the etiquette and ran away, as if there was an evil ghost chasing behind her.
After Zhu Ying disappeared, Chen Xiaoyue asked: "My lord, how credible do you think Miss Zhu's words are?"
Zhao Yu did not answer, but anger burst out in his eyes. Chen Xiaoyue knew that he was really angry. She had never seen the prince be so angry with an unrelated person.
Zhao Yu never expected that this woman actually tried every possible means to escape from him. He thought that her escape was due to the reserve of a woman. It turned out that she was serious. She was unwilling to commit to him even if her reputation was damaged.
He was a dignified prince from Prince Chun's palace, the emperor's younger brother, and he was extremely noble, but he was not worthy of a little commoner girl like her?
In the next few days, Zhu Ying either helped Xu Mubai sort out the medicinal materials in the shop, or stayed in the room playing with the pot of night grass, becoming a boudoir who never left the house or sold anything. Zhao Ying was so well-behaved that she was abnormal.
Yu never came to see her again, and seemed to have completely forgotten her.
Ding Zhu's surveillance of Zhu Ying's master and servant has also been relaxed a lot. Ding Zhu will not follow Su Lan when she goes shopping for vegetables. Su Lan also has time to go to the palace, meet with several other maids, and exchange news.
, and repeatedly conveyed Zhu Ying's instructions: "Don't act rashly, follow her instructions in everything."
After Su Lan left, the maids discussed the news about the Qingzhu Sect: the Fourteenth Prince was a ruthless and decisive person, Su Lan was inexperienced in the world, and had a reckless and impulsive temperament, so she was left alone in the young lady's house.
They were really uneasy around them, so they decided to ask Nongzhu, the most skilled martial artist, to go to Muben Hall to protect the young lady in the name of going out to look for the young lady who had not returned for a long time.
Zhu Ying was unaware of the maids' plans, which also caused Zhu Ying and Nong Zhu to miss each other. This is a story for another day.
On this day, Zhu Ying returned to her room after dinner, and was looking at the night grass under the candlelight. After her careful cultivation in the past few days, this grass has become alive, with green leaves and flower heads.
Got up.
She caressed it lovingly, and at this moment, Ding Zhu's voice sounded at the door.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Zhu Ying was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhao Yu would come to her so late. It seemed that the person who came was evil, so Su Lan refused without thinking.
"It's late. Miss went to bed. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhu Ying knew that Zhao Yu would never give up until he achieved his goal. She put the pair of Youcao into Su Lan's hands and said, "You stay and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I can."
"No," Sulan followed closely behind her, "I can't let the lady go alone!"
Zhu Ying said jokingly: "Don't worry, he won't eat me."
With that said, Zhu Ying pushed the door open and said to Ding Zhu coolly: "Let's go!"
She walked in front, and Ding Zhu followed behind her.
Su Lan chased her out worriedly and shouted: "Miss, if the prince bullies you, just shout loudly and I will come right away."
Ding Zhu was amused by Su Lan's cuteness. Is it useful to shout loudly? This chapter has been completed!
