Ming Wang studied her expression and frowned when he saw that she was silent and just looking at him. "Don't want to?"
"How could that be? The entire palace is yours. Can't you eat wherever you want?"
Lan Shuang came back to her senses and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Your Highness is used to eating with two people. You don't want to be alone, right?"
Ming Wang pursed his lips and nodded hesitantly: "Yeah."
Lan Shuang thought to herself: It is indeed like this, it's just that he has a weird temper and can't bring himself to say it. In this case, as a sister, I should be more understanding and care about him more.
She sat up and called out to the outside: "Biqing, Mianxiang——"
Two people hurried in: "What do you want, Princess?"
Mianxiang asked, "Do you want to serve the meal?"
Lan Shuang glanced at Ming Wang and nodded: "Well, serve the food, two servings..." She paused here and observed the expression on Ming Wang's face.
When he mentioned "portions for two", Ming Wang's expression softened noticeably.
Lan Shuang smiled secretly, then said on her own initiative: "From now on, the prince will eat at my place. Let the kitchen send the prince's portion directly here."
Mianxiang looked at Mingwang in surprise.
Prince Ming looked at Lan Shuang in astonishment. Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Your Majesty is unhappy?"
Prince Ming coughed lightly and said, "I am pleased. Since the princess has invited me so kindly, I cannot refuse her invitation. I will do as she asks."
Mianxiang smiled and bowed: "Yes, I will go right away."
Biqing also looked at the two of them, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
After observing for a period of time, Biqing felt that Prince Ming was not as bad as people said. Although he was not very warm to the princess, he was not bad either. It would be great if the two of them could always get along in such harmony.
At least these days are more hopeful than when I was in the British Mansion.
Lan Shuang pretended not to see it. She had no improper thoughts about Ming Wang. She simply admired his face and felt sympathy for him.
Well, that's all.
…
No one spoke during the meal, but the atmosphere was surprisingly calm and harmonious.
Yu Xiao and Yu Heng were standing outside. Yu Heng peeked inside, then moved closer to Yu Xiao and nudged him with his elbow: "Hey, the relationship between the princess and the prince seems to be getting better and better?"
Yu Xiao: "Yeah."
Yu Heng was amazed. "I used to think that the future princess should be virtuous, gentle and dignified, but the princess has nothing to do with these words."
Yu Xiao: "Oh."
Yu Heng sighed: "Never mind, as long as the prince is happy, it's fine. He suffered too much in the first half of his life, so he can live the second half as he pleases."
Yu Xiao: "Alas."
Yu Heng: “…”
"Can you even speak human language? You're just making these mumbling noises. Are you mute?"
He rolled up his sleeves in anger and really wanted to punch him.
Yu Xiao gave him a cold look and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. From now on, you won't need soldiers to repel the enemy, just use your mouth."
Yu Heng: “…”
There was no point in talking to each other. Yu Heng felt that the brazier should not have been moved away so early in the morning, and he also needed to step over it.
"Everyone, leave." Ming Wang's voice came from inside. Yu Heng was immediately alerted and waved to Mianxiang and Zhenhan. The two of them immediately went in to clean up the dishes.
After finishing their meal, Lan Shuang and Ming Wang sat opposite each other at a small table, each holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.
Ming Wang felt that he had not been so peaceful for a long time.
He took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, then asked in a low voice: "What are your plans from now on?"
Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow: "Me?"
She held the teacup and smiled, her eyes looking far away.
"Lan Yuning will definitely not be satisfied if she doesn't harm you. She might try some other tricks in the future. How do you plan to deal with it? Or should you just strike first?"
Lan Shuang shook her head. "That's not necessary. Being forced to counterattack is different from taking the initiative. I'd rather she strike first, and then I can counter her moves."
King Ming looked at her in confusion, but Lan Shuang had no intention of explaining.
888 suddenly pulled up Lan Shuang's past information, thinking thoughtfully that although his host was known as a "workaholic", looking at her past records, she was really passive in attacking, waiting for the target to make the first move before counterattacking, otherwise she would be very lazy.
Maybe it's due to her personality, or maybe it's her sense of morality, but she can't attack people directly unless the target person does anything to hurt her. But once the other person crosses her bottom line, she will fight back fiercely.
888 sighed, not knowing whether this kind of personality was good or bad.
Maybe this is the different principle in everyone's heart?
Lan Shuang put down the teacup, picked up the round fan beside her and gently waved it, "Anyway, I won't let her have an easy time."
Prince Ming nodded and said no more: "You have severed ties with the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. If you divorce me in the future, what will you do?"
"Is the world too big to accommodate a woman like me?" Lan Shuang said with a smile, "Then I'll open a small shop and make a little money to support myself."
Ming Wang's mind moved slightly. He looked at her and asked tentatively, "Aren't you planning to marry again? You can hide your identity and change your name. You are still a virgin. It won't be difficult for you to marry again. Just find someone you like..."
"Why do you want to get married?" Lan Shuang tilted her head to look at him and asked in an almost innocent tone, "If you can live well alone, why tie two people together?"
This sentence suddenly touched Ming Wang, and a little bit of tender hope suddenly emerged in his desolate heart.
At least she didn't want to leave me for anyone else, nor did she plan to have anyone else. After all, I was still her first and only man?
He should have felt uncomfortable, but Ming Wang tasted a bit of bitter sweetness in this fine and dense stinging pain.
After pondering for a while, his expression relaxed slightly and he chuckled, "You're right, it's good to be free from all worries."
Lan Shuang's eyes and eyebrows suddenly revealed a smug smile, "Really?"
Ming Wang looked at her with a smile, carefully tracing her outline with his eyes. Perhaps letting her leave was the best option before she got deeper into trouble.
Don't make the same mistake over and over again.
He warned himself so.
Lan Shuang didn't know what this "sister" was struggling with. She glanced at the sky outside and said, "Well, it's getting late. Your Majesty, don't you want to go back and rest?"
This is the order to leave. Ming Wang smiled and said, "Well, I still have some things to deal with in my study, so I'll leave first and come back tomorrow morning."
"Your Highness, take care."
Lan Shuang watched Ming Wang leave, then sat in a chair lost in thought for a long time. "Xiao Baba, do you think I can use the points I redeemed for other people?"
888: "Ah? Who are you going to give it to? Ming Wang?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "Well, he's been pretty nice to me, so I thought I'd do him a small favor before I leave."
"for example?"
"Remove the poison from him, or lift him up?"
888: "...Well, your points are probably only enough to achieve one goal."
