Chapter 95 The Simple-minded Prince Zhou
When the magpie boy shouted "Ga~", Xie Xiangxiang, who was traumatized, immediately reacted by pulling the two girls over to ward off disaster.
The black-faced girl was skilled in martial arts, and the dagger on her waist was knocked out of its sheath by her.
The sharp dagger flew up and fell straight down from a great height, just cutting a long wound on the back of her neck.
Blood spurted out immediately.
“Ah~”
"thump"
Xie Xiangxiang, covered in shit and blood, screamed, lost her balance and fell into the lotus pond.
Xie Yanyan shrugged, walked out the door and went to the front yard.
Unexpectedly, the prince was also there. The prince's personal guards, Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Jin, Xu Wenrong, Xie Anfeng, and the governor of Gucheng County were all there.
King Xi was there too.
"Did you sleep well?" The prince saw her coming and immediately walked over to ask with concern.
"Not bad." Xie Yanyan asked curiously, "What are you all doing here?"
"Curious about your huge bowl of boneless chicken feet."
"I wonder where Miss Xie got so much ice?" King Xi was a famous wise king. He looked elegant and very friendly.
"I am also curious, where does all the ice come from?" the prince said with a smile.
"Made with water." If you want to know her secret method of making ice, she will definitely not tell you.
King Xi was curious: "Can ice be made in such a hot day?"
"able."
Seeing that the prince was about to ask "how it was made", Zhou Shaoyu shouted, "Can you guys stop chatting? Miss Xie, are the boneless chicken feet ready to eat?"
"It's ready to eat." Xie Yanyan thought that it might taste better if he waited a little longer.
King Xi smiled and stood a little far away.
[Eating chicken feet? Xie Yanyan might have mistaken the prince, this idiot, for a country bumpkin, right? ]
[Seeing that the prince is as stupid as ever, I am relieved]
Xie Yanyan glanced at him and said, "If King Xi doesn't like it, don't eat it."
King Xi: “Hmm?”
The King didn't say anything!
Zhou Shaoyu looked at Prince Xi and said bluntly, "Prince Xi, let me guess what you are thinking? You must be wondering why the prince is so stupid that he eats chicken feet, a crude food eaten by ordinary people in the countryside, right?"
King Xi frowned and shouted, "You are talking nonsense again. When did I ever think so? Your Highness, you must not listen to his nonsense."
"You are thinking right now: Go ahead, it would be best if the Crown Prince kills Zhou Jingchen, then the King of Nanhai will be without a legitimate son and will definitely seek revenge from the Crown Prince! - Oh, Lord Xi, you are so vicious!!"
Zhou Shaoyu said in shock, "This prince is really afraid of Prince Xi!!"
King Xi was so angry that he wanted to kick him, but he smiled helplessly and said to the county governor: "Look, Prince Zhou is spoiled by his father and has no law to follow. He doesn't even take us brothers seriously."
The county magistrate didn't dare to talk to him. He couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Zhou Shaoyu: "Prince Xi, on the surface, you are slandering me! In fact, are you blaming your majesty for not being able to judge people and employing people properly? If so, I want to have a good talk with your majesty."
Prince Xi was annoyed by his nonsense and said with a smile: "Just eat your food. I don't want to argue with you. Miss Xie worked hard to prepare the rare dish. Please don't affect everyone's mood."
Xie Yanyan immediately said calmly: "No impact!"
King Xi paused!
Zhou Shaoyu laughed out loud. He loved Xie Yanyan’s world-weary face and her straightforward way of speaking.
The prince was actually quite honest. He was very happy to see Zhou Shaoyu and King Xi confronting each other, but he also didn't want Zhou Shaoyu to get into trouble.
"The smell of this chicken claw really makes me salivate. Stop arguing and go taste it!"
When the prince said this, Xie Anfeng immediately said to Zhou Jin, "Open it."
King Xi swallowed his words.
"Thirteen, you go and help too."
Dong Shisan saw that his master asked him to help, so he immediately helped to move the upside-down large wooden barrel down.
When the wooden barrel was opened, the sour and spicy smell as well as the cool air from a large basin of ice hit me in the face.
The meal had already been served in the government office. Xie An served four large bowls of boneless chicken feet, Liu Qi brought a bowl and placed it not far from the crown prince, Zhou Shaoyu brought a large bowl and placed it in front of himself, and the county magistrate brought a large bowl and placed it not far from Prince Xi.
Xie Anfeng brought a bowl to Xie Yanyan.
In ancient times, women and men were not allowed to sit at the same table, and Xie Yanyan didn't want to join them in making noises, so the county magistrate opened a separate room for her in the small restaurant next door. The food was the same, but in small portions.
Xie Yanyan gnawed the chicken feet slowly and found the taste delicious.
There was no one else around, so she took out a large glass of iced Sprite from the space refrigerator. She used a glass, a high-heeled glass in a high-end gift box.
In her previous life, she could never stop eating lemon boneless chicken feet, which was a must-have appetizer every summer.
The prince had lived a life of luxury since he was a child. He had never eaten chicken feet, which were despised by the royal family. He never knew that chicken feet could be so delicious.
After he ate the first one, he wanted to eat the second one, and then he ate three in a row. Liu Qi calmly turned the chicken feet aside and put the other dishes on his plate.
Swallowing hard, the prince calmly put down his chopsticks, drank two sips of the soup served by Liu Qi, wiped his hands and mouth with a towel, and watched everyone eat with a smile.
Zhou Shaoyu ate without any image, eating chicken feet one after another and drinking a lot of wine.
The Crown Prince is very curious, but King Xi is not. This kind of opportunistic chicken feet is food that only lowly people eat. How can he eat it?
Besides, to make Zhou Shaoyu, a scoundrel, eat like a starving ghost, he must have some means. He couldn't ruin the big thing just for the sake of his appetite.
There was a bowl of chicken feet in front of him, but he didn't even bother to pick up any.
The prince looked at him strangely and said, "Prince Xi, why don't you eat it? It tastes very good."
King Xi saw the prince asking, but he did not back down. He smiled gently and said, "My stomach is uncomfortable, so I cannot eat these cold foods."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shaoyu stretched out his long arm, took the bowl in front of him and said, "I like to eat it. There is nothing wrong with me. I can eat anything."
King Xi smiled, but in his heart he uttered a word of contempt from the country folk.
[Eat everything, including feces? 】
Zhou Shaoyu suddenly looked up and saw the mocking look in King Xi's eyes, and he became angry.
Pointing at him, he said, "It's really boring to live like this. You are in good health, but you curse yourself to be sick. Don't you think you are a high and mighty prince who disdains to eat the food of the common people?"
"Don't you think about it? Without the people, there would be no place for you. Even His Majesty has been saying that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. Without the people, everything will be wasted. The Crown Prince is right in front of you, but you are not so hypocritical!"
Zhou Shaoyu's mouth was so poisonous that it could suffocate an elephant to death. He kept saying contemptuous things about the common people. King Xi was depressed to death. Xu Wenrong lowered his eyelids and ate chicken feet silently with his cousin.
He heard more rumors among the people that Prince Xi was more virtuous than the Crown Prince. As an observer, he could probably understand Prince Xi's mentality.
To be honest, Prince Xi is more suitable for that position than the Crown Prince.
Vigilant, patient, ruthless, scheming, and deep-minded.
The prince is suitable to be a good person, but being too kind makes him unsuitable to be an emperor, as he will be sidelined by those eloquent officials.
But now, after listening to Zhou Shaoyu's words, he felt that Zhou Shaoyu, who seemed to be carefree, treated His Majesty as a saint, and had no trace of scheming, was actually better.
Every word he said could put King Xi to death.
