Chapter 5: Prince, why is your face so red?



He didn't even have time to dodge before she rushed in front of him and floated away like a gust of wind.

The only thing left was the beef noodles with beef on the table.

Through the transparent bag and bowl, you can clearly see the soup noodles inside and the large pieces of beef on top.

Is it possible that people in her place can slaughter and sell oxen at will?

What kind of place is Dragon Country?

Xu San was originally pouring water into people's mouths, but the aroma of beef noodles was so overpowering that it kept drilling into his nose.

Seeing that his prince didn't move, Xu San could only remind him himself.

"Your Highness...you haven't had a drop of water since this morning. Would you like to eat something first?

Is this the food the goddess recommended to you? Why do I smell meat? What kind of meat is it?

Li Junyan glanced at Xu San calmly, "It's beef noodles. Take them out, find a few big pots, add some water, and cook some instant noodles. Aside from what you guys will eat, give some to the people waiting in line for water. Is the porridge ready? For those who didn't get any noodles, tell them not to worry, they'll have porridge later."

Xu San listened to Li Junyan's instructions and immediately became anxious. "Your Highness, I know you care about the people, but you can't ignore your own health! Please leave one portion for yourself, and I will take the rest out and do as you command."

After hearing Xu San's words, the men, women, young and old who were queuing up to get water all agreed.

"Your Majesty, we are so grateful for your kindness and have no way to repay you. Please take care of yourself and eat well so that we can receive your long-term protection!"

"Your Majesty, you've been tired all morning, so you should eat something!"

"Your Majesty, you can't ignore yourself!"

Sang Jueqian came back with wet hair. Just as she reached the counter, she heard this series of comforting words and instantly understood what was going on.

"Don't worry about your food. I bought some rice and flour for you. I'll deliver it to you as soon as the rain stops."

Li Junyan glanced at Sang Jueqian and saw that there were water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair, her skin was pink and white, and her whole body was radiant with moisture.

She changed into a dark green dress with sleeves. Although it was made of flowing green gauze, it could still cover some of her fair and slender arms.

This made Li Junyan feel relieved. He could finally look her in the eye without having to avoid her.

"How much rice and flour did you order, young lady? How much silver do you need? Gold is too heavy and inconvenient to carry. I'll just give you the silver notes!"

As Li Junyan spoke, he took out his purse and took out a silver note from it.

Sang Jueqian had never seen a silver note before, but she recognized the three huge words "Two Thousand Liang" on it.

"Don't!"

Sang Jueqian quickly refused.

There are still more than two million in the card, and there will be two million left after paying the final payment. She has already made a net profit, so how can she ask for more?

One tael of gold equals ten taels of silver. If these two thousand taels of silver notes were converted into gold, they would be worth ten gold cakes.

Too many, really too many!

Sang Jueqian didn't want it, but Li Junyan insisted on giving it to him.

"Miss, you are willing to give us water and help us buy food. It is a great kindness. No matter how much these things are worth to you, they are worth this much in Tingzhou. If you don't want them, I dare not accept your food and water."

Seeing him so stubborn, Sang Jueqian sighed silently, "Alright, then I'll take it. But I don't want silver notes, I only want gold."

Li Junyan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why? Silver bills are lighter, and it's less likely to get you into danger if you carry them with you."

"You've thought it through well, but don't think so next time." Sang Jue smiled faintly, his eyebrows curved. "Gold is hard currency in my place, but no one will recognize silver notes."

Li Junyan's ears instantly turned red. "I was mistaken. I'll have someone exchange it for gold and send it to the girl."

Xu San was standing nearby. Although he couldn't hear what Sang Jueqian said, he could hear Li Junyan's words clearly.

"Your Majesty, I will go and exchange it for gold right away."

"Go ahead."

Xu San took the banknote but didn't leave. "Your Highness, please eat first!"

"Got it. Leave one and take the rest with you."

"yes."

Xu San went out happily, carrying nine bowls of beef noodles and some silver bills.

The moment he went out, Lin Qi came in quietly with two people. They not only took over Xu San's job, but also distributed water to people.

He also took the water pipe from Li Junyan's hand and poured water into the tank.

Li Junyan sat down at the desk and opened the bowl of beef noodles.

The moment the lid was opened, the aroma of beef noodles instantly filled the entire study, and everyone couldn't help but look at the bowl of noodles.

But they only took a glance and quickly looked away, looking at each other with their eyes fixed on the water, not caring at all, and queuing up obediently to get water.

The prince has helped them a lot. They cannot be obsessed with the noodles in the prince's bowl, nor can they disturb the prince so that he can't eat.

Sang Jueqian was not interested in staring at others eating, so he turned and walked towards the counter, ready to open his computer to check how to cope with the drought.

Li Junyan had just taken a bite when he noticed that Sang Jueqian had turned around.

He didn't care at first, but after Sang Jueqian turned around, her fair back was suddenly revealed in front of him.

This dress looks normal from the front, so why is there a piece of fabric missing at the back?

The slit goes all the way to the waist, allowing you to see not only her delicate butterfly bones but also her slender waist that can be held in one hand.

Her skin is fair and flawless, like the finest jade, warm and lustrous.

As she walked, her waist swayed like a willow branch, as if it would break if bent.

Li Junyan took only one look and quickly lowered his head, his cheeks and ears as red as cooked shrimps.

Lin Qi was shocked when he saw Li Junyan like this, "Prince, what's wrong with your face? Why is it so red? Is it a relapse of the poison?"

Li Junyan looked at Lin Qi coldly, "No, shut up!"

Although he shouted to stop him, it was too late.

After hearing Lin Qi's exclamation, Sang Jueqian turned around and looked at Li Junyan in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Junyan didn't dare to look at Sang Jueqian. He pursed his lips for a long time before whispering, "Are you cold?"

Sang Jueqian looked at the air conditioner which was set to 25° and shook his head. "It's not cold! The temperature is just right."

Li Junyan pursed his lips and said softly, "It's good that you are not cold. If you are cold, put on more clothes."

Put on some clothes?

Li Junyan said this in a tactful way, but Sang Jueqian was not stupid and instantly understood the meaning of his words.

Her skirt was backless, and when she turned around just now, he should have seen her back.

So his face suddenly turned so red, is this why?
