Xun Niannian moved forward to block the food box in Dong Xing's hand behind her.

"My Lord, why did you come back so early today?"

Chen Lianhe smiled faintly, "It's getting late, it's time for lunch."

After a slight pause, he continued, "I am back now, so Princess doesn't need to carry the food box out. Come with me to Qingyu Courtyard."

Xun Niannian laughed dryly, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. What I made is not lunch, but just a few snacks."

"Snacks? So the princess prepared another dessert for me?"

Xun Niannian had a blank expression on her face, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood again. These are not made for you."

Chen Lianhe was not angry either, he raised his eyebrows, "It's not made for me? Then who is it made for?"

Xun Niannian: It’s made for your brother, the Fourth Prince!

Of course, Xun Niannian didn't dare to tell the truth in front of Chen Lianhe.

She is not a fool!

She lowered her eyes and said with some sadness: "My family has been in prison for several days. I heard that the conditions in the Dali Temple prison are harsh and not a place for people to stay. I don't know how my parents are doing now. I want to go see them..."

"Your Majesty, can I go and see them?"

Looking at Xun Niannian's sad expression.

Chen Lianhe snorted coldly in his heart.

If I could not hear your inner voice, I might have been deceived by you!

You said I am a drama queen, but you are the drama queen!

Although Chen Lianhe was complaining in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

He said calmly, "It is natural for the princess to want to visit her family, but Minister Xun has committed a capital crime that is irritating to heaven and people. According to the rules of our dynasty, death row prisoners cannot be visited before execution."

“I see.”

Xun Niannian looked disappointed. She bowed to Chen Lianhe and turned back to Quexiyuan.

But then he heard Chen Lianhe say: "However, you are my princess after all. If I take you there personally, you can meet them."

Xun Niannian's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, are you going to take me with you? Your Majesty, you are such a good man, I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Lianhe.

"Don't give me the nice guy card yet, and don't rush to thank me. I can take you there, but I'm not in the mood right now. When I'm in a better mood, maybe I can consider it."

“…”

So, brother, when will you feel better?

Do you want me to cheer you up?

But, is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

Also, why are you in a bad mood?

To be honest, Xun Nian Nian felt that she was in a bad mood at this moment.

She had worked so hard to make some food and was going to look for the Fourth Prince, but now it seemed that she couldn't go for the time being, so all her hard work today was probably in vain.

By the way, why did Chen Lianhe suddenly come back home for lunch today?

I heard from the servants in the mansion that he rarely came back to have lunch before.

The main reason is that he is busy with official duties every day, and it takes him a lot of time to go home for meals.

Why did he suddenly become so crazy today when he rarely came back home before?

"Your Highness, why are you in such a bad mood?" Xun Niannian asked him patiently.

Chen Lianhe glanced at her with an ambiguous expression, "I didn't sleep well last night!"

“?!”

Last night?

A dark line appeared on Xun Niannian’s forehead.

[He, he, he, this guy, isn't he in a bad mood because he didn't consummate the marriage with me last night? 】

[Brother, you left on your own, you can’t blame me, right?]

"My Lord, what will it take for you to feel better?"

"Well..." Chen Lianhe glanced at the back of Xun Nian Nian's body again, "I'm hungry now. Maybe I'll feel better if I have a delicious meal!"

Feast?

Don’t think I can’t hear you. You want to eat the feast I cooked, right?

Sorry, I don’t feel like cooking today, especially for you, a moody villain!

Didn’t I have to do everything I could to get you to eat what I cooked before?

The point is, even after eating so much of my food, I don’t see your liking for me increasing!

Do you think you can eat whatever you want when I cook?

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and inform Steward Lin to prepare the dishes."

Xun Niannian pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in Chen Lianhe's words, and prepared to inform the servants in the mansion to serve Chen Lianhe.

Just as he turned around and took two steps forward, he heard Chen Lianhe's faint voice coming from behind him: "I have been eating the dishes made by the chefs in the mansion for several years. I am tired of them. I want to change the taste."

Xun Niannian paused, turned around and smiled at Chen Lianhe, "Then I'll go ask if there's anyone else in the mansion who's good at cooking."

Chen Lianhe looked up and down at Xun Niannian and said, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. I think the dishes you cook look good. Go and cook a few dishes for me!"

[You damn villain, I took the initiative to make food for you before, and I had to rack my brains to get you to eat it. Now I don’t want to do it anymore, but you take the initiative to ask me to make it for you? ]

[You don't want what is offered to you with both hands, so what is forced upon you is fragrant? ]

[Do you have the syndrome of "you deserve a beating"? 】

Xun Niannian just felt speechless!

"Your Majesty, didn't you just say you were hungry? If I go to make it now, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a long time before I can eat. Otherwise, I'll go call Steward Lin..."

Chen Lianhe interrupted: "It's okay, didn't you make some snacks? I just need them to fill my stomach."

Xun Nian Nian was successfully choked by Chen Lianhe's words.

He is blocking all words!

Xun Nian Nian felt depressed.

[Xiao Wuzi, come out!] Xun Niannian gritted her teeth secretly and woke up the system.

System Wuwu: [Host, what’s the matter? Do you want to start the next mission? ]

Xun Niannian: [You know, but you still ask? ]

It is obvious that there is no way to avoid this "feast".

Since there's no way to avoid it, of course I'll see if I can complete the mission at the same time.

After all, there are gold coin rewards for completing the task, so at least it’s not in vain!

Upon hearing this, System Wuzi immediately became alert, "Host, please wait a moment. I will open the task system interface and take a look."

A few seconds later, the system said: [Reporting to the host, the next task is to make the target eat a food he doesn't like for seven days until he no longer hates it.]

Xun Niannian frowned. What kind of crappy task is this?

Make Chen Lianhe eat a food he doesn't like for seven days! Until he no longer hates it?

Are you sure this task isn't too difficult?

Xun Nian Nian felt that this task was a bit difficult.

[Can I skip this task and try the next one? ]
