Chapter 196 What is this for?
"This plum ice is really good. If you want to do business..."
Before she could finish, a slender figure suddenly appeared from above.
Gui Ta'an Zhen walked to the chaise longue as if possessed by a ghost. He leaned over, pressed her shoulders, and kissed the corner of her lips with a blushing face.
Now it was Qi Yue's turn to be stunned. She turned around and met his gaze.
The two were so close that they could almost see the delicate pores on each other's faces.
Those beautiful amber eyes were full of soft light, and Qi Yue's figure in them was charming and attractive.
"I'm asking you to beg me, not to seduce me!"
Looking at that charming yet innocent face, her cheeks flushed. She stretched out her finger, touched his forehead, and pushed him away.
After being pushed away by her, a trace of barely perceptible hurt flashed across Gui Ta'an Zhen's face.
"Is it because I'm too ugly that the princess doesn't like me?"
Qi Yue was surprised and asked, "Where are you ugly?"
"But in Xizhen, they all said that I was ugly and looked like a monster..."
Gui Ta'an Zhen lowered his head, half-knelt in front of the couch, feeling aggrieved and at a loss as to what to do.
"You are not ugly, it's just that they don't have eyes to discover beauty."
Qi Yue lifted his chin, held the androgynous face in her hands, and said gently: "Because your Khatun is a princess of the Small Holy Kingdom, and you look like her, and the rest are almost only the advantages of your father Khan, so..."
"Your face and body are the best works of your Khatun and your father, the Khan. You must not despise yourself."
"I have always thought that I am the most beautiful, but compared to you, I feel a little ashamed."
Listening to her words and looking at her serious expression, Gui Ta'anzhen's heart seemed to skip a beat.
He felt as if a warm current flowed through his heart, no longer feeling painful or heavy.
"But I think the princess is very beautiful, like a fairy..."
"I have always been beautiful, I know..."
Qi Yue rubbed his face, then pulled his cheeks to force a smile.
"So, don't feel bad about your appearance, okay? If someone says you're ugly, they're just being mean to you!"
Guita Anzhen: "You're jealous of me? What do you mean?"
Qi Yue let go of his face and crossed her chest, saying, "It's just... jealousy! They are jealous of you. People who are too good-looking are often envied and rejected by those who are not as good as themselves, because those people are ugly and narrow-minded."
He suddenly realized, "I understand, because the princess is beautiful and kind, that's why she thinks I'm pretty and won't be jealous or reject me!"
Qi Yue praised loudly: "Yes! That's right! Absolutely right! There is nothing wrong with it!"
Then she waved her hand and said, "You want to do business, don't you? How can a small recipe for Liangpi be enough? I will give you a dozen or twenty more. You can go back and figure it out slowly. You can ask Xiangzhu to help you. That girl is very talented in this area and will definitely be able to help you."
Gui Ta An Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess. When I succeed in building up my business, I will split the profits with you 50-50. Although I know that you don't care about this little profit, I can't just take these prescriptions for nothing!"
"You don't need that much. I'll just give you a recipe. 30% will be enough. Just go ahead and do it. If you don't have enough money, ask He Xiangling for help."
Afterwards, Gui Ta'an Zhen prepared the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Qi Yue to give the prescription, and he would write it.
Half an incense stick later, a total of twenty prescriptions were written, and the plum bing that Qi Yue was holding in his arms had already been finished.
"Send each of these recipes to me to try. Let me make it clear that I am not greedy for these, but I want to help you test whether the taste is authentic!"
Guita Anzhen pursed her lips to suppress her smile, lowered her head and said, "Yes, Princess."
"Princess, the Grand Tutor wants to see you."
He Xiang's voice came from outside the door.
Qi Yue raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"You go back first."
Gui Ta'an Zhen's smiling face suddenly became more tense, but he still nodded and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he bumped into Jiang Lin.
The two people's eyes confronted each other in the air, and it seemed that a spark exploded.
Jiang Lin recognized him; he was the actor presented by Xi Zhen.
He snorted coldly: "Fox charmer!"
Guita Anzhen's face changed, but he suddenly remembered Qi Yue's words and replied in a neither soft nor hard way: "Are you inferior to me because you are not as good-looking as me?"
Jiang Lin didn't expect him to retort, and his expression suddenly turned ugly, but he was too disdainful to argue with him.
He Xiang quickly interrupted the tension between the two and urged, "Master Taifu, please go in quickly and don't keep the princess waiting for too long."
Jiang Lin snorted again, flicked his sleeves and entered the room.
Although the conversation between the two was not very loud, Qi Yue still heard some of it.
She rolled her eyes and tied the knot of her robe tighter, finally tying it into a knot.
Humph, what a bastard, now he wants to make peace with her, but she won’t forgive him so easily.
The door behind him closed again, and Jiang Lin stopped, hesitating.
He clenched his palms, and sweat broke out on his palms due to nervousness.
Thinking of He Xiang's words that he couldn't keep the princess waiting for too long, he started walking again.
This time, the speed increased slightly by two points.
Qi Yue leaned on the chaise longue, supporting her chin with her eyes narrowed.
She was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
Jiang Lin's heart felt like it was about to jump out when he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night again.
He walked lightly and stopped one foot in front of the couch.
"Your subordinate greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Qi Yue did not open his eyes, nor did he respond to him immediately. He paused for about five breaths before speaking slowly.
"What is the Master doing here in my princess's mansion?"
Jiang Lin still maintained the gesture of bowing his head and bowing: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is here to return the food box for Your Majesty..."
Qi Yue opened her eyelids and glanced at him, then asked, "The food box? Have you paid it back now?"
Jiang Lin was stunned and raised his head slightly: "I have paid it back..."
After getting his affirmative answer, she closed her eyes again: "Then you can go."
"No... I haven't paid it back yet... I haven't paid it back yet..."
He was so nervous that he was a little incoherent and took two steps closer to her.
Qi Yue opened his eyes again and said jokingly, "If you haven't paid it back yet, go find He Xiang and He Lu. Why are you, a tutor, greedy for a broken food box?"
Jiang Lin was speechless for a moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he pursed his lips and fell silent.
Seeing him like this, Qi Yue suddenly felt a little bored and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, go out. I need to rest."
Seeing that she was trying to drive him away, Jiang Lin's face turned extremely ugly.
A voice in his heart told him that he must not leave, because if he left, there would be no hope.
He gritted his teeth, took another small step forward, and this time boldly sat down beside the couch.
Qi Yue looked at him puzzledly, tilted his head and asked, "May I ask the self-disciplined and polite Master Taifu, what are you doing?"
