The two of them had dinner together in the study.
Before the meal, Qing Wu asked someone to cook another bowl of ginseng soup. She took a look and saw two ginseng roots in the bowl. She raised her eyebrows:
"Why did you pull out two?"
Baisui took a look and was also surprised: "I made the ginseng soup myself, and I only put one ginseng in it."
Because he knew that ginseng was precious, he was extra careful when trimming its beard.
"Will there be any impact if two ginseng roots are boiled into soup?" Baisui asked nervously.
Qing Wu picked up the chopsticks and ate some food: "It's okay. Anyway, your prince has a lot of Yin energy, so he can't be killed."
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
Bai Sui: “…”
Why does this sound so wrong?
Baisui took a deep breath and thought that it was really too much for this devilish woman to dare to make up stories about her own prince in front of him.
Finally, his eyes fell on the face of his own prince.
Hmm?
The man glanced at the person beside him with his phoenix eyes. He was obviously not smiling, but his brows were relaxed, without any trace of his usual coldness and sternness.
Baisui almost thought he was dazzled.
He glanced down and exclaimed, "Why is there another ginseng beard?"
Xiao Chenyan caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly reached out to grab the shadow.
He grabbed a ginseng spirit by its branches and twisted it back and forth.
Baisui was dumbfounded: "Isn't this the ginseng essence? How come it..."
The next moment, the ginseng spirit was seen pulling out a root of the hair in an extremely servile manner and presenting it to Xiao Chenyan diligently.
Don’t be too obvious in your attempt to please others!
Qing Wu clicked her tongue: "Dog-legged ginseng."
Xiao Chenyan loosened his hand, but the ginseng spirit not only did not run away, but also moved closer to him with eager eyes, and it looked like it was about to say: "Eat me, eat me, eat me".
"You teach it?" He looked at Qing Wu.
Qing Wu was eating the lion's head, not even bothering to look at him, and said in a hurry: "It's probably a mother ginseng. I'm greedy for your face and sacrificed myself for love."
A muffled laugh could be heard faintly, it was the black-armored guard next to him who couldn't hold it back.
"Ridiculous." Xiao Chenyan swept the ginseng essence to the ground, with a look of disgust between his eyebrows.
"Goblins have sharper intuition than humans, especially when it comes to seeking benefits and avoiding harm."
Qing Wu took another sip of soup, her face full of satisfaction: "It is willing to pluck its whiskers and give them to you to eat. It is so shameless and wants to get close to you. Of course, it is because it can benefit from following you."
"Just eat it without worry. It won't be so generous as to kill itself."
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the little ginseng that was sneaking over to him and trying to rub against him. He raised his toes and slid away——
The little ginseng rolled over, becoming more and more courageous, and continued to stick to it, but was kicked away again, and the cycle continued over and over again.
The man's eyes curved slightly, he drank the ginseng soup, and ate the ginseng roots. The bitter taste was tinged with sweetness, like a warm current, nourishing his limbs and bones that were eroded by the cold wind.
At this moment, the taste buds seemed to have regained their vitality. After a long time... Xiao Chenyan felt the desire to eat.
But as soon as he picked up his chopsticks, he saw a table full of leftovers.
He paused for a moment, glanced at the ghost next to him who was leaning back to breathe, then Xiao Chenyan withdrew his gaze and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
During the years of fighting in the northern border, he led his troops into the heartland of the Hu people. There was not enough food and fodder, so they even ate grass roots and tree bark. As for the leftovers, Xiao Chenyan was really unhappy.
Not to mention, he tasted the original flavor of food for the first time in a long time.
He ate at the same speed as before, not slow, but he had always been a noble-minded person, and his movements while eating were pleasing to the eye.
"Here, I'll save some for you." Qing Wu pushed the remaining small piece of lion's head over, but saw Xiao Chenyan looking at her teasingly.
Qing Wu was shocked: "It's not that I can't eat anymore!"
The corners of Xiao Chenyan's lips curled up slightly, and he picked up his chopsticks to help her finish the leftovers.
The centenarian next to him was both happy and distressed.
I am glad that my prince can finally eat normally, but I am also sad that he has to eat leftovers, wuwuwu...
After dinner, everyone left, but Qing Wu did not.
She held on, lying on the chaise longue opposite the table, rubbing her belly lazily.
The man continued to read the military newspaper at his desk. The room was very quiet, with only the crackling of candlelight. Xiao Chenyan was reading the military newspaper, but he seemed unusually distracted.
His sight passed the candlelight and looked across, what he saw was the beauty's unbridled and graceful curves, her hands drooping lazily over her eyes, her sleeves sliding down, revealing her slender arms as white as mutton-fat jade.
Maybe it was because of discomfort, sometimes, he would hum unconsciously.
Crackling, the sparks from the candle wick exploding seemed to fall on Xiao Chenyan's ears, and the burning heat surged. He subconsciously clenched the military newspaper in his hand, retracted his gaze, and tried to put away any distracting thoughts.
But the humming sounds were like incantations and mumblings, lingering in my ears, and seemed to carry the breath of a woman's voice into my heart.
Finally, patience reached its limit.
The man put down the military newspaper, pushed the door open and left.
Qing Wu put down her arms and looked at the open door, a little confused. Why did Xiao Yantai stay there without saying a word?
“It’s rude.”
She also said that her son was in a good mood, so she stayed with him for a while longer to help him absorb the bad energy, and she could also absorb the bad energy and help herself digest food.
Qing Wu was about to get up while rubbing her stomach when she saw someone coming back with a food box in his hand. Her face changed and she covered her mouth: "Xiao Chenyan, are you really planning to send me to die of gluttony?"
The man said nothing. He put down the food box, opened it, took out a piece of hawthorn cake, and said quietly, "Isn't it enough to keep you from dying?"
Qing Wu looked at the hawthorn cake with a frown on her face, her tone became sticky, she opened her mouth, and was about to say "Come and feed me" "Ah——"
The man was seen feeding the hawthorn cake into his own mouth.
Qing Wu: “…” She bared her teeth.
"I'll be mad if you keep doing this!" She narrowed her eyes dangerously: "I'm mad but it's hard to comfort you."
He looked at her quietly for a while. Ruifeng had an imperceptible smile in her eyes. While she was looking angry, he ate the first piece of hawthorn cake.
The posture is lazy and noble.
"How is it so difficult to coax?"
Qing Wu looked at his bad appearance, and felt as if she was dreaming back to her youth. Past events and all the "old hatreds" came to her mind. She got up from the chaise longue and rushed to him.
"Give me!"
A plate of hawthorn cake was held high, and even though she raised her hands high, she didn't try to take it down. She caught a glimpse of him holding a piece in his hand, and she took a bite.
The woman bit his fingertips with her pearly teeth.
It feels like being bitten hard by the deciduous teeth of a small animal, with slight pain accompanied by a slight numbness and itching.
Both of them paused for a moment.
Qing Wu had a hawthorn cake in her mouth and subconsciously used the tip of her tongue to push his fingers away.
Feeling the soft touch on his fingertips, Xiao Chenyan's arm froze. The moment he was about to withdraw his hand, it was bitten hard again.
"hiss--"
He met her charming eyes, which were full of unconscious allure. Those eyes pierced him fiercely, with the pride of having succeeded in revenge.
That look made his heart pound.
"You deserved it for teasing me!"
