"Is this water not tasty?" Yu Xiaoxiao picked up the teacup that Gu Xinglang had thrown on the table, drank half of it in one gulp, and said, "It has a floral scent, isn't it nice?"
The tea was jasmine tea, and it smelled quite fragrant. Gu Xinglang said, "The color of the tea is not good. Ask the waiter to make a new pot."
What the hell? Yu Xiaoxiao looked down at the half cup of tea left in the cup. What was the tea color? She looked up at Gu Xinglang with disapproval. Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Be content with clean water." In the end times, how many people died in search of clean water? How could the people of this world be so careless? They even despised the water with the fragrance of flowers. Can't people in the end times tolerate this?
Zuo You took a sip of tea. The taste of the tea was a little light. The color of the tea showed that it was not the new tea of the season. Zuo You swallowed the tea, glanced at Gu Xinglang, and said to Yu Xiao: "Yes, Princess, we have even drunk human blood on the battlefield. We are satisfied with just a sip of tea. Princess, I am not picky."
"You're good, thumbs up," Yu Xiaoxiao generously pushed the teapot in front of Zuo You and said, "Drink more."
Zuo You tilted his head back and drank the whole pot of tea generously.
"Come on, drink some more." Yu Xiaoxiao brought the teapot in front of her to Zuo You and shouted to the outside, "Bring me a few more pots of water."
Gu Xinglang watched Zuo You drink water one pot after another, and couldn't help but ask Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "Princess?"
Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang: "Let him drink more water, and when the food comes, he will eat less."
Gu Xinglang was speechless. The princess who grew up in the imperial palace should have been raised in luxury, but his princess wife looked like she had been starving for ten years.
Zuo You felt bad again when he saw Yu Xiaoxiao whispering to Gu Xinglang and behaving intimately. He knew he had no chance, but such a good girl was taken away by that pig Gu Xinglang. Zuo You felt that God was unfair.
The boss then led his waiters to start delivering dishes to the private rooms. Sure enough, they were all served in large bowls and looked quite generous.
Gu Xinglang took a bite of the braised eggplant sandwich. To be honest, the taste was not as good as Liuchaochun and it was too oily.
Yu Xiaoxiao was satisfied just by looking at the big bowls of food. These dishes looked very greasy. What? You asked about the taste of the dishes? How could compressed biscuits taste worse? "Delicious," Yu Xiaoxiao buried her head in the food and praised the boss who was waiting on the side.
The boss's face immediately lit up with joy, and Xie Yu said in a small voice: "Thank you very much, Princess."
"You're welcome," Yu Xiao said, "Hurry up and serve the rest of the dishes."
The boss looked up at the table and saw that there was only stewed vegetables left in the big bowl.
The boss immediately ran out and went to the kitchen to urge the food to be prepared. Zuo You stared at Yu Xiaoxiao as she picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and asked Yu Xiao: "Is this, is this because you are not full at the Gu family?" He turned his head to look at the two attendants who carried Gu Xinglang into the private room. These two servants didn't pick up the chopsticks like Yu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xinglang was picking fish bones for Yu Xiaoxiao. The bones on the back of a crucian carp were dense and fine, so Gu Xinglang was not very good at this job. But Young Master Gu did not give up. After picking a piece, he put it in a small dish filled with vinegar and let Yu Xiaoxiao pick it up and eat it herself.
Zuo You forked a piece of fish belly, dipped it in vinegar and stuffed it into his mouth. His teeth almost got soured by the sourness. Gu Xinglang was also sour. Who was he showing off his loving attitude towards his wife to?
The three followers had no appetite for food just like Zuo You. They kept stealing glances at their master's table. They felt that their master had no chance at all with Princess Linglong. In their White Tiger Country, chastity was not a priority. But looking at the way the Third Young Master treated his wife, was there any chance that their master would succeed in snatching her away?
Xiao Wei looked at the three burly men, who were shaking their heads and baring their teeth from time to time. He became alert and felt that these three men must be up to something bad.
Xiaozhuang is not as thoughtful as Xiaowei, and like Yu Xiaoxiao, he is busy eating. Don't think that when you work in the imperial palace, all the food you eat comes from the imperial kitchen. The wages of the secret guards are very high, but it is common for them to have a few dry buns as meals a day.
Dishes were brought to the table one after another. After discovering that Zuo You was also a big eater, Yu Xiaoxiao's speed in swallowing the food increased significantly. She picked up the food with her chopsticks as fast as a knife, ruthlessly, accurately, and quickly, for fear that she would miss a bite.
Zuo You said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, the food in our White Tiger Country is the best in the world."
“Really?” Yu Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks. She already thought the dishes from Fengtian were delicious, but there was something even more delicious?
"Marshal Zuo is from the White Tiger Country," Gu Xinglang peeled another plate of shrimp for Yu Xiaoxiao and said without looking up, "Of course he thinks the food in the White Tiger Country is the best in the world."
Yu Xiaoxiao understood immediately, it turned out to be a psychological effect.
Zuo You looked at Gu Xinglang with disdain and said, "What good can come of your small, broken country of Fengtian?"
The three followers couldn't bear to look at their master anymore. This master was in a high position but couldn't get a wife. There was a reason for this. Their master didn't know how to please a woman. He fell in love with someone else's girl, and then scolded her in front of her, saying that your family is a run-down family with a house full of poor people. Does the girl hate you or love you? Any normal person can know the answer, right?
Yu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and continued to argue with Dawancai. It wasn't like she wanted to come to Fengtian. If Fengtian was not good, she could find a chance to go to another one. It was no big deal.
Zuo You felt a little regretful after cursing Fengtian for being a small and ruined country. However, when he saw the princess swallowing a meatball that was almost half the size of Yu Xiaoxiao's face in two bites, Zuo You still asked again: "Is it because of food shortage in the imperial palace, or is the Gu family very poor?" If he had known earlier that Fengtian was so poor and the princess had to go hungry on weekdays, he would have asked for less tribute when he asked for it from Emperor Xianzong just now.
Yu Xiaoxiao ate so much that she didn't even raise her head and said, "I don't care about the bill."
How could someone who doesn't take care of the accounts know whether the family is rich or poor? Zuo You looked at Gu Xinglang with contempt. This cripple was dominating such a good girl, but he couldn't even let her live a happy life. Could this cripple be any more useless?
Zuo You's gaze made Gu Xinglang feel uneasy. It was not a pleasant feeling to be looked at like a piece of trash.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Zuo You, then at Gu Xinglang, and felt that the way this man looked at the young master of the Gu family was really treacherous. But seeing that Gu Xinglang didn't show any affection at all, Yu Xiaoxiao turned her body to the side, blocking Zuo You's gaze for the Third Young Master Gu, and said, "He is my husband."
A sharp arrow pierced Marshal Zuo's heart. These words were too hurtful to hear.
Gu Xinglang looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled.
"Well, you have to smile more in the future. Don't be afraid. When your foot is healed, we will go to the battlefield again." After giving Zuo You a sidelong glance, Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "We should fight the same way as before."
