Then, just as she was about to gesture, Song Yan smiled slightly, raised his chin, and signaled her to eat.
Xie Shizhu picked up the bowl, put his lips to the rim, took a sip slowly, and then a strange look appeared on his face.
It’s hot, too hot!
This perversion is intentional.
Song Yan was testing whether she was really mute or pretending to be mute. He wanted to test whether she would scream subconsciously or let out a sound of pain after drinking a mouthful of hot porridge.
Xie Shizhu drank a mouthful of porridge, and then his face turned red from the heat. His hand holding the bowl was shaking, and because it was too painful, he lost his grip on the bowl, and it tipped over, spilling the porridge in the bowl all over Song Yan who was beside him.
The system rolled its eyes: [Two people together have one mind.]
The boiling porridge was a little hot through his clothes, but Song Yan seemed not to feel it.
His eyes were completely fixed on Xie Shizhu's face.
Because of his temptation, the woman's face turned red, her lips were shining with water, her tongue slightly stuck out, and she fanned herself frequently with her hands, trying to extinguish the heat on the tip of her tongue.
The woman's petal-like eyes were watery, as if she had been scalded and was trying to hold back her tears, which were welling up in her eyes.
Song Yan suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if he regretted his previous attempt.
At this time, Xie Shizhu's malicious value dropped.
The system danced with excitement: [Holy crap, host, Song Yan doesn't believe you're mute! ! The malicious value has dropped to 85, awesome!]
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Calm down."
Several concubines smiled secretly, thinking that the prince had suddenly favored a concubine, but they didn't expect the porridge to be hot.
Chao Lan was laughing even more blatantly, especially when she saw Xie Shizhu's miserable look after being scalded, she felt very comfortable.
Before they had finished laughing, Song Yan's voice reached everyone's ears. Although his tone was still weak and gentle as before, it was more unyielding: "This porridge is hot, why do you still need to bring it to the table?"
After saying this, he looked at Chao Lan.
Chao Lan was questioned by Song Yan before she could even retract her smile.
The meals in the palace had always been managed by the princess, so it was understandable that Song Yan asked her.
Chao Lan couldn't laugh anymore.
Song Yan said calmly, "According to the palace regulations, you will accept the punishment yourself."
Chao Lan froze all over. She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. It was already unfair enough for her to marry into the Xian Prince's mansion, not to mention that the Xian Prince was a frail and sickly prince.
He might die of illness one day.
Now she still has to receive punishment in Prince Xian's mansion.
This humiliating thing made Chao Lan's face stiffen.
However, since she married the virtuous king, although she sat in the position of queen, she had no power, and her father had long since stopped caring about her.
I guess even if he knew she was punished, he would remain indifferent.
Chao Lan slowly stood up, lowered his head, saluted unwillingly, and said, "Yes."
According to the palace's rules, she would have half a year's salary deducted and be confined to her house for three days.
After Chao Lan was punished, no one dared to speak, and the entire meal was extremely quiet.
But Song Yan didn't move his chopsticks. Xie Shizhu took two bites, put down his chopsticks, and gestured, "Your Majesty, why aren't you eating?"
Song Yan smiled lightly and said, "I'm not hungry."
Xie Shizhu nodded.
I was thinking, haha, I probably can’t even finish it, so I’ll go out and eat alone later.
