Chapter 30 Shen Ruoli, have I given you too much face?
Shen Ruoli actually smiled so sweetly at Xie Xuanyu?!
Why has she never smiled at him like that before?
OK.
She can smile so sweetly at any man other than him, right?
"Someone, take King Zhou to the dining hall."
Xie Xuanyin didn't give Xie Xuanyu a chance to refuse, and forcefully ordered his men to "take" him away.
Runyue and Fengqing tactfully withdrew.
Before leaving, the two looked at Shen Ruoli with some concern.
But she acted as if nothing was wrong, seemingly unaware that Xie Xuanyin was angry, and even solemnly pulled him into the small kitchen, saying, "Your Highness is back very early today!"
"Look what delicious food my second brother and I made for you today!"
After pulling Xie Xuanyin into the small kitchen, Shen Ruoli presented the plate of salt-baked chicken as if it were a treasure.
She sniffed it and immediately exclaimed, "It smells so good it's intoxicating!"
"Your Highness, smell it!"
It smells really good!
Even though Xie Xuanyin was considered by everyone to be a very picky eater and extremely difficult to please, this plate of salt-baked chicken actually whetted his appetite!
But he remained motionless, and his expression did not change at all.
His expressionless face made Shen Ruoli feel a little guilty.
She put down the plate. "Doesn't Your Highness like salt-baked chicken?"
"Who told you that I love to eat this stuff?"
Xie Xuanyin stared at her coldly.
thing?
She painstakingly tried several times, and after failing, she shamelessly asked Xie Xuanyu for guidance. Today, she worked hard for most of the day to make salt-baked chicken, and he actually called it a junk?!
"Since Your Highness doesn't like this stuff, I'll just feed it to the dogs."
Shen Ruoli angrily picked up the plate and walked out.
Seeing that Feng Qing was standing guard outside the door, she shoved the plate into Feng Qing's arms and said, "Eat!"
Feng Qing: "???"
Is the dog him?
Is he a dog?
The plate of salt-baked chicken in his arms made Feng Qing's mouth water.
However, he dared not eat it, feeling as if he were holding a hot potato.
"master."
Seeing Xie Xuanyin's even more unpleasant face, Feng Qing said cautiously, "It smells so good! The Crown Princess is so thoughtful! Look at the chicken legs, they're golden and fragrant, they seem even better than what the Imperial Kitchen makes!"
"My lord, please have a taste!"
Feng Qing picked up a chicken leg and handed it over.
That bastard reacted quickly today, knowing how to save face for him!
— Xie Xuanyin thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to take the chicken leg as Feng Qing offered, Shen Ruoli snatched it away!
"What is Your Highness doing? Didn't Your Highness just look down on this thing?"
She emphasized the word "thing" again.
"Since this stuff is not to the Crown Prince's liking, then let's not eat it! Anyway, I'm planning to feed it to the dogs."
After saying that, she snatched the chicken leg.
Feng Qing's hand went empty, and her face turned pale.
This place is no place to stay; it's easy to get into trouble!
He quickly put down the plate and left.
Xie Xuanyin stared at the chicken leg that Shen Ruoli had snatched back, and began to grit his teeth, "Shen Ruoli, have I given you too much face?"
"Does Your Highness want to eat?"
Shen Ruoli smiled slightly, "Then come and get it."
Xie Xuanyin glanced at her and asked, "Who gave you the audacity to invite someone to dine at the Crown Prince's residence without permission?"
Shen Ruoli's "little trick" failed.
She was a little discouraged and put the chicken leg back.
"Xie Xuanyin, let's speak frankly."
It's so tiring to keep going in circles with him like this!
Since her rebirth, every day she opens her eyes she thinks about how to get revenge, and she also has to guard against Xie Xuanyin stabbing her in the back.
Sometimes she would even wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, fearing that Xie Xuanyin might suddenly have murderous intent towards her!
If this entanglement continues, before they can even seek revenge against Xie Xuansong, the two of them will probably die from internal strife!
"I am just like you. I have the same purpose, the same destination! And I am different from everyone else."
Shen Ruoli stared intently at Xie Xuanyin, reminding him that "she is also someone who has been reborn to seek revenge," and that she and he are the same kind of people!
She couldn't say it explicitly, but her hints were very clear!
Thinking Xie Xuanyin would be able to guess, but seeing his still gloomy gaze, Shen Ruoli had no choice but to say again, "Before Xie Xuansong's death, I am not your enemy."
"Of course, I know you hate me! You wish you could kill me! But we made a deal, and you can't go back on your word."
"so?"
Xie Xuanyin asked in a cold voice.
Shen Ruoli sighed.
She said so much, and her reminders were so obvious, all she got in return was a simple "So!"
"The reason I've been trying to be friendly with you isn't because I'm scheming against you! First, I want to join forces with you to get revenge on Xie Xuansong! Second, I... genuinely want to be good to you! I don't ask for anything in return, I just ask that you don't push me away."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Shen Ruoli fought back her tears, saying, "This is the last time I'll express my feelings to you!"
Whether Xie Xuanyin accepts it or not!
She did it all to make it up to him!
"so?"
Xie Xuanyin's eyes flickered slightly.
Shen Ruoli: "...You are never allowed to talk like that again!"
It sounded harsh to her.
"Oh? So?"
Xie Xuanyin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Perhaps because he was used to being pampered by her, Xie Xuanyin found it quite amusing to see her throw a little tantrum at him, which was unprecedented for him.
A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and his mood had clearly improved considerably.
Shen Ruoli stomped her feet in anger, wishing she could beat him up, but could only rage helplessly!
If she makes another move, all those words I just said will have been wasted!
Seeing this, Xie Xuanyin, who had been on the verge of exploding with rage all the way from the Imperial Study back to the Crown Prince's residence, was no longer gloomy and his smile became even more pronounced.
He picked up the plate and took the chicken leg from before. "Hmm, it does smell pretty good."
Do you want some?
"What?"
Shen Ruoli was stunned.
"It seems you don't like it."
Xie Xuanyin took a bite.
Mmm, it tastes really good!
He couldn't resist taking another bite.
Perhaps remembering that his preferences couldn't be revealed to others, Xie Xuanyin put down the plate and slowly forced Shen Ruoli into a corner, saying, "You haven't answered me yet."
"Who gave you the audacity to invite Prince Zhou to the Crown Prince's residence without authorization?"
He strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Shen Ruoli carefully backed away until her back finally hit the wall.
Chicken soup was simmering on the stove next to them, with steam rising up in a bubbling sound.
Whether it was the heat or the hazy, alluring appearance of Xie Xuanyin's handsome face amidst the steam, it was impossible to tell.
Shen Ruoli's cheeks gradually flushed red, and her voice lowered with guilt, "I didn't invite King Zhou without permission! I... I also invited Jiaojiao!"
"What?"
Xie Xuanyin paused in his steps.
This woman is incredibly bold!
Was she really testing his limits, searching for his weakness?!
"Shen Ruoli, what exactly are you testing?"
Xie Xuanyin was so angry that he laughed instead.
He stretched out his long arm and braced himself against the wall, firmly holding Shen Ruoli against his chest. "What exactly do you want to know? You've gone to such lengths, even inviting Jiaojiao."
"I am right in front of you. What do you want to know? Why don't you ask me directly?"
Shen Ruoli stiffened slightly, realizing that Xie Xuanyin had misunderstood her once again!
She was about to explain, but then suddenly changed her tone, "Since Your Highness has said so, I do have a few questions that I'd like to know Your Highness's answers to!"
Xie Xuanyin raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
