Chapter 89: Beaten Out with Sticks
Seeing that Yu Shiyan had finished his tea, Yuan Siyin immediately refilled it for him in a flattering manner. Her warm, soft hand accidentally touched his cool fingers, and she immediately withdrew it as if she had been electrocuted.
Yu Shiyan thought she had finally come to her senses and knew how to write the word "shy," but he didn't expect her to turn her head away and mutter curses under her breath.
"He's frozen to death."
Even if she'd been dead for three days, her little hands wouldn't be this cold.
It must be that Little White Flower is too weak.
As Yuan Siyin silently pondered this in her heart, the fragrant pastry was brought to her lips, and she unconsciously opened her mouth and swallowed it little by little.
She had been holding the imperial physician's order for three months, and she needed to find a way to get it out of the palace and then stuff it into the Mu Prince's residence.
It just so happens that I should go to the palace tomorrow to bring Aqing back. After all, she has been troubling my aunt for three months, and she has just recovered from a serious illness, so I should go and pay my respects.
After eating a few pieces of glutinous rice cake, she felt thirsty, so she pushed away Yu Shiyan's hand and intended to take a sip of tea.
Yuan Siyin suddenly froze when her fingertips touched the blue teacup.
What did I just eat?
Who fed it?
She looked up shakily, only to see the man casually flicking the pastry crumbs between his fingers and drinking tea as if nothing was wrong.
Yuan Siyin was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
How could you attack her when she wasn't looking? That's unsportsmanlike conduct!
Drink, drink, drink! Is tea really that good?
"Zi Yuan! Show the guest out!"
"The Prince Mu's mansion has some winter crabs, which are plump, juicy, and delicious."
Yu Shiyan propped his head up with his hand, a few strands of hair hanging lazily down. The last four words were deliberately enunciated between his lips, making them sound very alluring.
"...some tea leaves!"
Luckily she caught it quickly enough, otherwise she would have missed the crab.
She's such a clever little devil!
"Since I don't need to take medicine tomorrow, why don't we..."
"Why don't we invite everyone to the General's Mansion and hold a winter crab feast?"
Zi Yuan lifted the warm curtain, and Si Fangming strode in, shoving the hand warmer into Yuan Siyin's hand. After interrupting her, he swaggered down and sat between the two of them.
He knew all too well that the person in front of him was thinking the same thing.
But if he wants to abduct someone, he's saying this right now!
The General's Mansion doesn't even have a dog hole!
"It's rare for me to go out..."
"You are most susceptible to cold and hardship. You went out into the cold wind right after recovering from a serious illness. If you fall ill again, won't the Empress Dowager have to surround the entire General's Mansion?"
Si Fangming's eyes were full of mischief, and he seemed unreliable, but what he said made sense.
The words were serious, but as for whether the person was a serious person, well...
Upon hearing this, Yuan Siyin hesitated, but ultimately gave up struggling.
We shouldn't risk losing the entire flowerbed outside just because of one small white flower.
You should know that my aunt is absolutely capable of doing something like this.
"In that case, Your Majesty will bring gifts to visit tomorrow."
Yu Shiyan remained expressionless, his clear eyes half-closed, still exuding an air of tranquility and detachment from worldly affairs.
Si Fangming felt uncomfortable hearing these words.
You'd better specify what kind of gift you're referring to, otherwise it will all be considered a betrothal gift, and you'll be thrown out with sticks.
"Is it tasty?"
Yuan Siyin was staring at his profile, with its high nose and thin lips, lost in thought. After a long while, Yu Shiyan, not receiving an answer, simply turned his head away. Only then did Yuan Siyin realize that the question was directed at her.
"So...delicious."
To avoid being noticed, she quickly coughed twice and glanced away somewhat guiltily.
"It seems the chefs at Prince Mu's residence are quite skilled."
Yu Shiyan took a sip of tea, his smile hidden behind his distinct knuckles, unnoticed by anyone.
"Since it's a winter crab feast, let's invite Xinxin as well. I've been so bored these past three months that I'm practically turning into mold."
Yuan Siyin suggested.
Well, here comes another tricky one.
Si Fangming was quite helpless, but he still agreed.
It's always better to keep people under your watchful eye than to be tricked away by unscrupulous individuals.
