Chapter 670 Maintaining Demeanor

After hearing what Aunt Liu said, everyone really felt hungry. After all, they got up late today, and at this time every day, everyone would have finished their meal and gone about their own business.

Seeing that everyone was rushing towards the restaurant, Han Muchen was about to take a step when he was stopped by Qin Chuchu.

"Huh?" He turned around and looked at Qin Chuchu in confusion.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

Qin Chuchu pulled the man's arm, muttered softly, and pointed at her feet.

The women here walk in small steps, and she can't take big steps, otherwise she will be laughed at.

Only when he lowered his head did he realize that his feet were wearing slippers, and his mouth twitched immediately.

Damn! I forgot to change my shoes!

She looked up at everyone and quickly tucked her feet into her skirt.

He took small, standard steps, fearing that his slippers would be seen.

When Han Muchen lowered his head, he saw Chuchu rubbing against the ground bit by bit, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Only then did I understand her actions today. It turned out that she was afraid of losing her identity as a princess in front of outsiders. She was afraid of being laughed at by others.

She usually seems so heartless, but she can actually think of these things.

Seeing her being so cautious and pretentious at this moment, he wouldn't think it was a big deal if another woman acted like this.

But looking at Chuchu like this, it was not only awkward but also very funny, and for a moment I even felt like joking with her.

Not only did he not wait for her, he even took a big step forward.

Qin Chuchu was caught off guard. She was holding the man's arm when she stumbled and her slippers flew off her feet.

As luck would have it, it hit the heel of Tutor Sun in front of him and bounced back.

“…………” She was stunned.

She glanced at Tutor Sun, then quickly jumped over and stepped on the slippers, which were perfectly covered by her skirt.

When Grand Tutor Sun turned around, he met Qin Chuchu's stiff smile.

“Hehe!”

He was so scared that he took a step back.

“…………”

Why does Princess Chen look so abnormal? How can they walk so close to each other? If I hadn't taken a step back, we would have bumped into each other.

But due to his status and the difference between men and women, he couldn't say anything. He could only take two quick steps, not wanting to be so close to her.

Qin Chuchu retracted her embarrassed smile and glared at the man in dissatisfaction.

“…………”

This bastard is always trying to fool me. If this old man sees that I'm wearing slippers, I don't know what he'll say to me when he returns to the capital.

“…………”Han Muchen’s lips curled slightly.

Qin Chuchu's glare made my whole body feel extremely uncomfortable.

Afraid that her slippers would fly out again, she was extremely careful this time.

Her five toes gripped the slippers tightly, but the man's legs were too long. Although he seemed to be walking quite slowly, it was still difficult for her to keep up with him.

Her small steps turned into a jog, and she could even feel her butt sticking up.

Feng Yi and the others on the side were about to suffer internal injuries from holding it in. The princess's path was too embarrassing.

I know she wants to maintain her image in front of outsiders, but this posture is not as pleasing as before.

Qin Chuchu also felt very awkward. This way of walking was simply too painful.

Fortunately, the restaurant was nearby and we got there in no time.

When they arrived at the restaurant, General Cheng and his companions were invited to take their seats, even though they had eaten late last night.

But at this moment, looking at the millet porridge, cucumber, shredded potatoes and pickles in front of me, I still feel hungry.

After all, these are rare things and they have never eaten them before.

Because they usually sat at separate tables when attending palace banquets, a portion was placed in front of each of them.

Qin Chuchu and the man sat in their original seats as usual, but as soon as they sat down, they noticed something was wrong.

When he looked up, he saw Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun staring at him with strange eyes.

"Huh?" Qin Chuchu was stunned.

Could it be that there was something on my face? That's impossible. I saw it when I left the house just now, and it was quite smooth.

He subconsciously lowered his eyes to look at his clothes. He was dressed quite formally. He paid so much attention to his image. He didn't know why the two of them were staring at him like that.

Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun looked at Qin Chuchu in surprise, and then looked at each other.

They could see the discomfort on each other's faces. In their entire lives, they had never shared a table with a woman other than their wives and children.

Now, asking them to have dinner with a woman, especially the princess, felt very awkward and unreasonable.

“…………”Han Muchen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although I could see what the two adults were thinking, I pretended not to see it.

After all, this is not the capital, and they won't stay here for just a day or two.

If Chuchu doesn't eat here, then they will have to eat separately for a long time, which is boring to think about.

General Cheng disagreed. After all, he was a military general. When he led troops to fight in his early years, it was common for him to eat and live with the soldiers in the same house as a local tyrant. He did not care about these things.

As soon as I sat down, I was attracted by the food in front of me and pointed at the pickles in front of me curiously.

"Is this the vegetable grown in the Morning King's greenhouse?"

"That's right." The man nodded and looked at Tutor Sun and Lord Zhao.

"You two adults can try it!"

"Oh, okay." Tutor Sun and Lord Zhao nodded.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you are in someone else's territory, just don't worry about it. Besides, they can't worry about it either.

Since King Chen doesn't care, there's nothing they can say.

He casually picked up a piece of cold cucumber with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes brightened up noticeably, and he pointed at the sweet and sour cucumber in front of him with satisfaction.

“It has a light fragrance and a sweet and sour taste. Very good!”

Seeing that Tutor Sun praised him so much, Lord Zhao also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks out of curiosity and put it in his mouth. Like him, his eyes lit up obviously for a moment, and then he nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s really good!”

The winter melons and pumpkins we usually eat at home don’t have such a crisp taste, and they also have a rich fragrance that makes people feel refreshed.

The awkward situation was broken at once, the atmosphere became harmonious, and they began to discuss the side dishes on the table.

Seeing that no one was staring at her, Qin Chuchu felt a lot more relaxed. In just a short while, sweat appeared on her forehead.

I was afraid that I wouldn't understand something and would be laughed at by others. I didn't know how I would be portrayed when I got back.

Looking at the millet porridge in front of me, I felt hungry and took a sip.

But as soon as the mouthful entered his mouth and before he could swallow it, he met the surprised eyes of Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun, and was stunned again.

“…………”

Could it be that she was eating too loudly? Otherwise, why were they staring at her like that? She felt anxious and didn't know whether to swallow the porridge in her mouth or not.

Seeing Chuchu so reserved, the man felt both distressed and amused, and casually put a boiled egg in her bowl.

"My dear, have an egg!"
