Chapter 310: A Meal is Powerful
I watched as Chu Ci, her aunt and sister-in-law followed the waiter to the kitchen.
Upon seeing this, the prince's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly winked at Fan Jingrui, hoping that he could take action to stop it.
Unexpectedly, Fan Jingrui simply comforted him calmly, "Don't worry, sir."
Reassured? How could he be reassured? The situation was unclear, yet these three fragile women had no sense of danger at all!
Especially Chu Ci, does she really not know how heavy she is?
Or maybe he did it on purpose because he was responsible for the food and fodder supply for the soldiers on the frontier.
Thinking of this, the prince's face became even gloomier, as if water could drip out of it. "Can you promise?"
He stared at Fan Jingrui, his eyes full of questioning and anxiety.
Fan Jingrui didn't rush to explain. He calmly picked up the teapot on the table and smelled it carefully to make sure there was no problem.
Then, he poured a cup of tea for the prince and said slowly, "Don't worry, sir."
Prince: If he remembered correctly, Fan Jingrui probably doesn’t understand pharmacology, right?
Thinking of this, the prince's eyes became sharper. He stared at Fan Jingrui closely, as if he wanted to see through him. He just stood there waiting for Fan Jingrui to give an answer that would convince him.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui only smiled slightly and said slowly, "These little tricks were all taught by my wife. After all, the situation was a bit complicated at the time, and I didn't expect them to come in handy now."
The prince was thoughtful when he heard this.
After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "So do the two Miss Fans also know how to do it?"
Fan Jingrui nodded solemnly and said seriously, "Sir, don't underestimate them just because they are girls. The Tenth Sister and the Eleventh Sister are both extremely skilled in swordsmanship."
Fan Jingrui only mentioned that their swordsmanship was unique, but he didn't say what it was.
When the prince and others heard this, they naturally thought it was a sword technique in martial arts.
Thinking of this, the prince's heart finally relaxed a little.
Since I can't change the minds of Chu Ci and the others, I might as well do what I can.
Thinking of this, the prince sighed, slowly picked up the bowl beside him, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat the vegetables on the table that did not look very delicate.
The prince took the lead in eating, and the others saw this and felt too embarrassed to be pretentious.
Only Fan Jingrui showed hesitation and tried to persuade him: "Sir, how about waiting a moment?"
The prince knew that Fan Jingrui had good intentions.
But he was also clear about the current situation. How much could Chu Ci and the other two carry?
Besides, now I am in this situation. So I shook my head and said firmly: "When I go out, there is no need to be so particular."
However, the prince's attitude was so firm at that moment that he felt regretful when he saw the food served by Chu Ci and the other two.
There was no other way. Although Chu Ci and the others were limited by the current conditions, they only made quick dishes.
But I have to say that it is really well-made and has great color, aroma and taste.
Not to mention that Lieutenant General Luo had just returned from the battlefield, even the prince couldn't help but tighten his throat, staring at the dishes, unable to move away.
It seems that the prince still cared about his own face and did not immediately express his inner surprise and desire.
Lieutenant General Na Luo was a straightforward person. "How could a noble like you possess such excellent craftsmanship?"
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and his voice was filled with undisguised amazement.
After Lieutenant General Luo finished speaking, he immediately looked at Chu Ci nervously, his expression flustered, and he stammered, "Jun...Xiao, no, Madam, I am not..."
"I'm just an old rough guy with a dumb tongue!"
"I...I'm praising you!"
"Don't get me wrong, I just didn't expect... I didn't expect that someone of such a noble status could possess such outstanding craftsmanship. I... I really didn't mean to offend."
Seeing this, Chu Ci smiled and nodded gently, saying softly, "I understand."
As she spoke, she placed the plate of fragrant garlic sprouts and bacon directly in front of Lieutenant General Luo.
His eyes were sincere and warm: "Our conditions are simple, so this little bit of bacon is just a small token of our gratitude for the protection provided by the border soldiers!"
"You've fought bravely on the front lines, defending our country and overcoming countless hardships and dangers. These are the only small things we can do."
Chu Ci's words really touched the heart of Lieutenant General Luo.
He stood up suddenly in excitement, his face flushed instantly, and his words became stammering: "Madam, please don't blame me. I was... I was too rash in my words and accidentally bumped into you. I'm really sorry."
Chu Ci smiled slightly, his expression calm, and replied, "I understand. This matter is of great importance. In such a pressing situation, even the most cautious cannot be excessive. We are all trying to get things done properly, so there is no need to blame yourself."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he saw that Lieutenant General Luo wanted to say something to explain.
Chu Ci waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "Guard Luo, let's talk any further. The food is getting cold. We've all been waiting so long, so don't let this carefully prepared meal go to waste."
Lieutenant General Luo suddenly realized his mistake. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He nodded hurriedly and quickly sat down as Chu Ci wished.
The prince did not expect that Chu Ci could make Lieutenant General Luo's attitude towards her change so much in such a short time.
The look he gave Chu Ci changed involuntarily, with an indescribable admiration and respect in it.
Then, the prince glanced at Fan Jingrui beside him, cleared his throat, and raised his voice before saying, "Since Madam Chu said so, everyone should try it too. Don't let them down."
"Yes!" The guards were already attracted by the fragrant dishes on the table before them.
After they all agreed in unison, they immediately started scrambling for the food like hungry tigers, fearing that they would miss out if they were too slow.
Seeing the guards fighting over things in such an unruly manner, the prince felt ashamed.
Unfortunately, the prince secretly signaled several times to ask everyone to restrain themselves, but the effect was minimal.
Helplessly, the prince could only turn a blind eye and simply turned his head away and stopped looking at them.
He even unconsciously increased the speed at which he picked up food.
The shopkeeper watching from the side swallowed unconsciously. He thought to himself, "How about raising his hand and letting the two girls who can cook stay this time?"
Chu Ci had no idea that he almost lost his two sisters-in-law just because of this meal.
After eating and drinking, Chu Ci took Qianxue and Qianyan, picked a guest room in the middle, and prepared to go to bed.
