"It's Ziqi's fault. I'll have a meal with you now. You rest in the room for a while. I'll go see where the kitchen is and if there's anything to eat. If not, we'll eat what's in the storage bag."
"Okay, go ahead!"
When it comes to traveling long distances, Cui Shixu and his group are more experienced than Fang Ruotang. In each of their storage bags, besides a few things they might need, everything else is prepared for Fang Ruotang.
The reason I'm not taking them out now is because we have the means today, and we've just left the capital. There will be opportunities to live in remote, desolate areas in the future, so I'll try to save the things in the storage bag for that time.
Cui Shixu opened the door and left the room, and the Crown Prince followed suit.
"What's up?"
"Xiao Liu hasn't eaten yet. I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything edible. Shall we eat something together?"
Cui Shixu wasn't in a hurry. Fang Ruotang had chosen him tonight, and there was no way he could change his mind. Besides, he needed to digest his food after eating, and he couldn't just drag himself to bed right away.
"Alright!" The Crown Prince turned around and closed the door, then followed Cui Shixu.
On the way, the two talked and chatted as they had for the past twenty years, and there was no rift between them because they had fallen for the same woman.
The conversation became rather one-dimensional, revolving around Fang Ruotang.
"Is she alright?"
"It's alright." Cui Shixu wouldn't try to persuade the Crown Prince not to treat Fang Ruotang like a porcelain doll, since he himself was the same way. Fang Ruotang's appearance was too deceptive; she looked exactly like a pampered young lady.
However, this is also due to the physical differences between men and women. All six of them were already tall, so when they surrounded Fang Ruotang, she appeared petite.
Actually, at her age, although she wasn't the tallest among girls, she was still tall and beautiful with long limbs, and even had better physical attributes than most women.
"They were just teasing me in the room, saying I'd be perfect as a mistress!" Cui Shixu chuckled softly as he thought of this.
The Crown Prince felt a bittersweet ache in his heart, like ants biting him, but he couldn't resist his curiosity about everything about Fang Ruotang, so he didn't interrupt Cui Shixu and listened to his story.
He was happy to hear that Fang Ruotang was happy.
They found the kitchen, which was brightly lit, and Jin Wuyou and the other girls were there.
"Are you planning to make extra provisions for the journey?"
"Yes!"
Jin Wuyou answered Cui Shixu's question without looking up, walked to the corner, picked up four large food boxes and gave them to him, saying, "This is Ruoruo's food. You guys eat with her first, don't just play around."
When they were first settled into their house, the atmosphere was so tense that she couldn't say a word.
“Okay.” Cui Shixu accepted the food box.
When she returned to the courtyard, Fang Ruotang had already come out of the room, and the other four were with her. She sat in the middle, being coaxed by the four men, laughing uncontrollably.
At this moment, neither Cui Shixu nor Gu Yanjin felt jealous. It was mainly because Fang Ruotang's smile was so bright and beautiful that they couldn't help but smile along with her.
"What are you saying?"
Cui Shixu put down the food box and casually asked a question.
The crown prince put down the two in his hand and opened them directly.
Fang Ruotang smiled, her eyes crinkling, "I was whispering sweet nothings to them! Hahaha, they're so silly! They can't keep up with my rhythm at all."
"Who can keep up with your cheesy pickup lines?" Little Mirror suddenly chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
After all, he had only searched for these cheesy pickup lines because he was forced to by the authority of his parents.
[Where's the rusticity? People from the previous world thought it was rustic because these things were already commonplace. But look at Ye Wuxia and the others, they look like country bumpkins; they've never eaten anything this good before.]
Ye Wuxia laughed in exasperation, "Me? A country bumpkin?"
Fang Ruotang blinked and said in a cute and charming way, "I'm sorry! I was so happy that I forgot you could hear my thoughts. I'll be more careful next time."
"Is this the key point?" Ye Wuxia was speechless.
Fang Ruotang asked, "Then what's your point? Next time I'll talk about Gu Nancheng, since he laughs even louder than you and seems even more naive."
Gu Nancheng immediately withdrew his big white grin, and Huo Zhige did the same.
"Alright!" Ye Wuxia conceded.
You're so hard to please.
Fang Ruotang looked at Ye Wuxia with an innocent expression, knowing full well that he could hear her thoughts, but she was just being docile on the surface while being mischievous inside, which made Ye Wuxia laugh in exasperation.
He said, "You're just bullying me!"
Hmph! I would never bully anyone.
"Watch out next time. If you bully me again, I'll cry." Ye Wuxia deliberately scared Fang Ruotang. Anyway, he had secretly practiced this skill for a long time.
He can cry beautifully and tragically now, but he still has some mental hurdle to overcome. He hasn't demonstrated it in front of Fang Ruotang, but after what happened with Huo Zhige last time, he knows that Fang Ruotang can't stand seeing men cry.
"Why are you being so unreasonable! Only children cry. You're an adult, can't you do something like an adult?" Fang Ruotang stared at Ye Wuxia in disbelief.
Ye Wuxia raised an eyebrow. "It's an adult matter? Sure! Shall we meet up tonight?"
You can drive this car without even realizing it.
Fang Ruotang realized what was happening and blushed as she refused, "No, I've already chosen Consort Cui tonight. You... as the legal wife, you should be more magnanimous. Let's do it in a few days!"
She knew Ye Wuxia was teasing her, so she answered in a lighthearted, joking tone.
Ye Wuxia wasn't upset at all; instead, she joined in the commotion.
"Thank you, my lady. I'll be waiting for you, my husband."
"Okay, be good."
Ye Wuxia raised an eyebrow, unconvinced, "Am I not good enough?"
"Good boy, good boy, you're the best."
Fang Ruotang has a bit of a scumbag side; she's half-hearted and perfunctory, and because Gu Yanjin has stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hand, her eyes are already glued to the food on the table.
"I'm not having it! Why is Huo Zhige a Noble Consort, but I'm just a Consort? Doesn't the name Consort Cui sound better than Consort Huo?"
Cui Shixu smiled gently, but her words put Fang Ruotang in a difficult position. However, she was not one to suffer internally. She picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and said generously, "Alright, alright, you are also a Noble Consort, my Noble Consort Cui, my beloved Noble Consort Cui. Can I eat now?"
"Eat up!" Cui Shixu put a piece of duck meat into Fang Ruotang's bowl.
When they first heard Fang Ruotang's perfunctory words, they felt a secret joy and a painful bitterness. But now, after hearing them so many times, they realized that this girl had no heart at all and just said whatever came to mind.
Today her favorite is Cui Shixu, tomorrow it might be Ye Wuxia, and the day after tomorrow it could be Gu Yanjin. It all depends on who asks her. She answers whoever asks her, and her answer is always the same.
They weren't given any chance to compete for favor, since the most beloved would always be chosen eventually.
