Chapter 671: Smiling Without Showing Teeth
Looking at the eggs in the bowl that the man took, Qin Chuchu grinned.
“Thank you, Your Highness…”
But just when he opened his mouth halfway, he remembered that women here don't smile with their teeth showing, so he quickly closed his mouth again.
But Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun still showed shock on their faces again.
“………………”
The cold-faced Yan Luo, who is always serious and stern, could actually pick up food for his princess in front of outsiders. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe it even if you were beaten to death.
Looking at the two adults and staring at the eggs in her bowl, Qin Chuchu finally realized something.
She put the egg back into the man's bowl.
"Your Majesty, please eat."
He wanted to grin, but quickly retracted his smile.
Afraid that the man didn't understand what she meant, she kicked him under the table.
Don’t pick up food when there are outsiders around. Didn’t you see the looks on those two adults’ faces?
“…………”The man remained silent.
Looking at Chuchu's cautious look, I don't know what to say.
After taking a look at Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun, he knew what they were thinking, but since they were here, it would be better for him to follow the local customs.
Otherwise, Chuchu will not be able to eat this meal in the future.
Thinking of this, he continued to put food into her bowl after a while.
As usual, the bowl was piled up like a small mountain, and Qin Chuchu kept winking at the man.
But he acted as if he didn't see it and continued to pick up the food happily.
I could only kick him under the table, but it was useless. No matter how I kicked him, the man just continued to pick food for me.
He almost kicked his slippers off several times, but there was nothing I could do, so I just let him do it.
But the princess's demeanor must be very proper.
Don’t even think about taking the food from the plate, but the man has also taken a lot of food from the bowl, enough for her to eat.
In order to keep her smile from showing and eat without making any noise, she took small bites of food and chewed them slowly.
Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun then withdrew their surprised looks, although they were surprised that Prince Chen served food to the princess.
But the princess's eating manners were still quite decent, but General Cheng beside her didn't care.
All the attention is focused on the food in front of you. Anyone can eat however they like, as long as they are full.
Qin Chuchu was extremely envious when she saw others drinking porridge and eating vegetables with big mouthfuls.
I keep putting the porridge into my mouth bit by bit, just like a rabbit eating grass. If I keep eating like this, how long will it take me to finish this bowl of porridge?
What's more, a bowl of porridge is usually not enough for her. If she eats at this speed, this meal will take her at least an hour.
I glanced at Feng Qi and the others' table. It would be great if I could eat at that table. I could eat to my heart's content without any worries.
Feng Qi and the others ate while stealing glances at this side. Seeing the princess's reserved look, they all tried to suppress the smile on their faces.
If she continues to eat like this, I guess the princess won’t be able to eat enough for some time.
As expected, they guessed right. Before Qin Chuchu finished her half bowl of porridge, Lord Zhao and Grand Tutor Sun on the opposite side had finished theirs.
“These vegetables taste delicious!”
“This shredded potato tastes good too!”
The two pointed to the few small dishes left on the plates in front of them. If they hadn't been so exhausted, they would have eaten them too.
I rarely eat until I’m full, but I didn’t expect that I would be so full after eating breakfast here.
“………………”Qin Chuchu.
Seeing that everyone had put down their bowls, he looked at the half bowl of porridge in his own bowl.
Then why bother drinking? Otherwise, all his eyes would be on her. So he just put down his chopsticks.
Han Muchen finished the last mouthful of porridge, and when he turned around, he saw that there was still half a bowl of porridge left in Chuchu's bowl, and he couldn't help but frowned.
“…………”
She only drank two big sips in such a long time, and she didn't eat much even though so many dishes were given to her.
I wanted to ask her to eat more, but seeing how reserved she was, I thought it was pointless to say anything, so I just gave up.
I guess she can't stay hungry like this forever, so she will eat when she gets really hungry.
As soon as everyone finished their meal, Butler Liu walked in from outside wearing a straw raincoat.
Seeing him come in, the man put down the teacup in his hand.
"How about it?"
I asked Butler Liu to go to Xingfu Home to check if there was any water in the house due to such heavy rain.
Seeing the happy look on his face, I guess everything should be fine.
That’s indeed the case. Hearing the prince’s question, Butler Liu smiled and nodded.
"Your Highness, everything is fine. I have visited many houses in succession. They have all closed the skylights early, and no one has been flooded."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.
"There was no water on the road, as it all flowed away through the sewers."
Before I went out, I thought that with such heavy rain, the outside would have been flooded.
Unexpectedly, the moment I walked out of the door, there was not a puddle to be found. All the water flowed away along the sewer pipe.
Although many roads had been washed out by rain, this was still a surprise to him.
It seems that the previous worries were unnecessary, and there was no water in the pit greenhouse at all.
"Well, very good!" The man nodded with satisfaction.
Although I had already expected it in my heart, I was still very happy to hear Butler Liu say it.
But Lord Zhao and the others sitting nearby were a little surprised and looked at Butler Liu in disbelief.
"You mean there's no water outside?"
How is this possible? Every time it rains, water accumulates everywhere, and it is common for farmers' houses to be flooded.
What's more, heavy rain like the one we are experiencing now is rare in a century. Even if the entire village isn't flooded, it's almost impossible. How could it be like what Butler Liu said?
There wasn't even any water on the road, which was absolutely impossible.
Seeing the look of disbelief on Lord Zhao's face, and knowing what he was thinking, Butler Liu smiled proudly.
"Your Excellency may not know that we have installed drainage facilities here. The rainwater that is falling right now is flowing into the North River through the underground pipes."
As he spoke, he pointed to the north behind him.
I just went to check it out. The water in the pipe leading to the North River is flowing very fast. I think it is all rainwater flowing from here.
This time, not only Lord Zhao was surprised, but even General Cheng, who had been silent beside him, was also surprised.
“What are drainage facilities?”
This word is new, I have never heard it before, let alone seen it before.
"Oh, this drainage system was invented by my princess!"
Butler Liu looked at Qin Chuchu who was sitting upright with a face full of pride.
It was thanks to the princess that she came up with such a good idea, otherwise with such heavy rain, the entire Far North would have been submerged in water.
Qin Chuchu was stunned when her name was suddenly called, and then smiled embarrassedly.
"Oh, its..."
Halfway through his words, he remembered that he shouldn't smile with his teeth showing, so he quickly closed his mouth.
Just as the original owner remembered, he hid his teeth tightly and put on airs.
"Actually, this is nothing!"
