Chapter 36: Monster
Ji Chenchuan was born extremely handsome, with stones piled up like jade and pines standing like emerald green. He was unique and there was no one like him in the world. His appearance was as beautiful as a jade. His frail and sickly body not only did not detract from his appearance, but instead gave people the feeling that he was an immortal.
At this moment, her smile is even more dazzling.
Lin Qingjun's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, what a monster!
"Prince, medicine."
At this moment, Lu Shui brought a bowl of ink-black medicine.
Ji Chenchuan nodded to her politely, said sorry softly, then picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
this?
Lin Qingjun was stunned again. Ji Chenchuanduan was a gentle and elegant gentleman, much better than the man who forced himself on her.
As the prince, Ji Chenchuan could have occupied her private room for his own use. You have to know that he is the prince of a first-rank marquisate, and he will be a marquis in the capital in the future. She is just a concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank mansion, and her status is not only a little bit lower. The prince's private room is off-limits to outsiders. This is the norm and an unwritten rule in the Great Qi Kingdom. After all, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior.
But he didn't. He just apologized and politely explained the reason.
Besides, he needed to take the medicine because his body needed it, so he didn't need her consent as a concubine, but he still said sorry.
For some reason, Lin Qingjun felt very warm in her heart. Ji Chenchuan's every move was considering and taking care of her emotions. She had never experienced this feeling of being taken care of before.
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Yingxue only calculated her and made her do things for her willingly, not to mention taking care of her. She even calculated her life.
Needless to say, Xiao Yuan had no one else in his heart except Lin Yingxue. He took it for granted that she served her parents-in-law and took care of the chores in the Xiao Mansion.
Qi wished she was dead, and her father Lin Zhi never treated her as a daughter. As for the concubine, what she did most was to protect her and teach her how to tolerate the mistress and respect her father.
The smile on Lin Qingjun's lips became more sincere. So, this is what it feels like to be taken care of? It feels so good.
"It's best if the prince is safe."
However, after Ji Chenchuan drank the medicine, the unhealthy blush faded, but his white and transparent skin was revealed, which was not as good as the blush.
Thinking of something, Lin Qingjun immediately took out an oil-paper bag from the bag he was carrying.
"Suppress the taste of medicine in your mouth."
It's like expressing gratitude for his care.
Qingshan Lushui instinctively wanted to stop him, but they were so frightened by Ji Chenchuan's action of putting down the medicine bowl that they dared not move.
The medicine bowl was placed on the table, making a neither loud nor soft sound against the table. They were very familiar with this sound. It was the prince's warning to them that if they dared to mess around, they would be punished by having their skin peeled off.
They swallowed secretly and could only stand there.
The food of their eldest son has to go through layers of inspection before it can be eaten. They had already let Miss Lin Er's glass of water go once, and they can't let go of the pastries this time.
You know, their master's food has been poisoned by countless people, at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, so they have to be extra careful.
and.
The green mountains and green waters looked at each other.
This bowl of medicine was originally supposed to be taken in the mansion, but when the prince received the news, he didn't take the medicine and rushed over. The blush on his face was partly due to illness and partly due to anxiety.
Could it be that the prince was just after this moment? Drinking Miss Lin's tea, eating Miss Lin's cakes? Or even wanting to gain Miss Lin's affection?
Thinking of this, they secretly gasped. Prince, isn't he too dark and calculating?
How could Ji Chenchuan care about the feelings of the two people behind him? He said gently and politely, "Then I won't be polite."
He picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully.
It's chestnut cake.
It was sweet but not greasy, and had a soft texture, but when chewed carefully, it had a slightly sticky feeling, and his eyes lit up.
“Is glutinous rice flour added here?”
Lin Qingjun was shocked, "How did the prince know this?"
Her chestnut cake was delicious, and even her father, who didn't like cakes very much, ate two pieces in a row. In order to win her father's favor, Lin Yingxue secretly made it several times, but none of them was as delicious as hers.
The reason is that she put a little glutinous rice flour in the pastry, not too much, just enough to make the pastry a little glutinous and soft, neutralizing the chestnut flour, so it tastes different.
Unexpectedly, he could taste what Lin Zhi and Lin Yingxue couldn't. How could she not be shocked?
Ji Chenchuan smiled, his eyebrows full of joy.
Look, his Lin Qingjun is so cute, of course it’s because his mouth is more sensitive than others.
He turned his eyes slightly, revealing a helpless and somewhat sad expression as he said, "If Miss Lin had been drinking medicine for so many years, she would naturally be like me, able to taste all kinds of flavors."
Sure enough, the heartache in Lin Qingjun's eyes became even stronger, and Ji Chenchuan became happy again like a cat that had stolen some fish.
this?
"I'm sorry, Prince. I, I didn't mean it."
Lin Qingjun cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" How could she bring up such a topic? He was already so sick, and she was rubbing salt into his wounds? This was too unkind.
Ji Chenchuan shook his head, but he looked even more sickly. "It's okay. I, I'm used to it."
The words "I'm used to it" revealed his endless bitterness. Lin Qingjun was at a loss, and the pain on his face became even more intense.
Yes, he is indeed the eldest son of the Wu'an Marquisate, and he is honored with his wealth. Even the emperor loves him a little. However, the struggles within the Wu'an Marquisate are definitely not comparable to those of a small family like theirs. The methods used there are much more fierce than those of the Qi family. If he had not had the protection of the old lady of the Wu'an Marquisate, how could he have survived to this day?
In the previous life, the concubine's wife had tried many times to get the position of the crown prince, and even she, an outsider, couldn't stand it. There was even one time when they drugged Ji Chenchuan in order to tarnish his reputation?
That was his own nephew, and he was very sick. As his closest relative, how could they have the heart to kill him?
"Yes, I'm sorry."
She really didn't mean it, but she didn't know what to say other than this.
Ji Chenchuan was very happy when he saw her helplessness. Apart from his grandmother, who else would be so "distressed" and "helpless"? Everyone who approached him had their own ulterior motives, and Lin Yingxue was the same.
Ji Chenchuan looked at Lin Qingjun gently and amusedly, "Second Miss Lin, there's no need to apologize. Being in that position, if you enjoy its blessings, you must also bear its misfortunes."
He is the prince, and this identity and background alone are enough to defeat nearly 99% of the people in the Great Qi Kingdom. He has never worked in the fields, never held a sickle, and never worried about his livelihood. He was born with fine clothes and food, and had a group of servants. What else could he not be satisfied with?
Of course, disasters followed. Who made him the crown prince? Who made so many people want to kill him and inherit his position as crown prince?
Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand; this is nature.
Lin Qingjun was stunned again. She really didn't expect the prince to be so insightful. But unfortunately, he could only live for another three years.
"...Yingxue, listen to me, I didn't drop it on purpose. It must have been that woman Lin Qingjun who pulled my brush down."
"Yingxue, you must believe me. I am sincere to you. That Ji Chenchuan can't even touch you."
At this moment, Xiao Yuan's anxious and angry voice came from next door.
