Chapter 70 Chu Xinrou is admired by Prince Jing
Shen Shuwei looked at him and didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just finished drinking the cold sweet soup, put the empty bowl in his hand, and patted his shoulder, "Go wash the dishes."
Zhao Yun fluttered her eyelashes and looked at her innocently, "I even chipped a nail peeling lotus seeds for you."
Shen Shuwei ignored him, "Be good, didn't you say you wanted to please me? Go wash the dishes."
Zhao Yun stared at her for a moment, his lips curled up in a happy arc, "I understand, I will wash the dishes obediently."
He emphasized the word "good boy".
Watching Zhao Yun leave with the empty bowl, Shen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and turned back to the room.
Just now, the two of them were talking in the corner of the yard, and you couldn't see what was happening from the room.
Fortunately, the eldest brother and Ayang did not come out out of curiosity, otherwise the second brother would really have to find a Taoist priest to capture Jingyin, the vixen who seduced her.

Zhao Yun came to the kitchen with an empty bowl, filled a basin with warm water and started washing the dishes. This made Xun Xiao, who was walking in, pause and blink slowly.
Is this person who rolls up his sleeves and washes dishes on a wooden stool with a missing leg really the prince?
Zhao Yun noticed him coming in, took the handkerchief that Xun Xiao handed her, wiped the water droplets off the bowl, and looked at it carefully, "Is this bowl clean?"
Xun Xiao was silent for a long while before saying, "Clean."
Zhao Yun stood up with satisfaction and put the bowl away. He took the other handkerchief from Xun Xiao, wiped his hands dry, and reached into his arms to search for something.
Xun Xiao watched his own prince groping in his arms for a while, then pulled it out empty-handed after a moment, staring at him with deep eyes.
Xun Xiao lowered his head.
What's going on again?
"My token is missing." Zhao Yun said.
Xun Xiao didn't care about anything else at this moment. He suddenly looked up at Zhao Yun and asked, "Is it the Epiphyllum token that the prince used to command the secret guards?"
Zhao Yun looked at him and suddenly chuckled. The words he said were gentle but cold as ice.
"Let Chengfeng go and look for it. If he can't find it before midnight tonight, I will turn both of you into tokens."
Xun Xiao didn't ask the prince how he planned to make himself and Chengfeng into tokens, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
If he had known that the prince was even crazier than when he was in Liangzhou, he might as well have returned to Liangzhou after delivering the message. It would have been better to watch King Jing's family hypocritically and flattering each other than to live in fear here.

Chu Yunlan was sitting on a chair, sipping tea with half-closed eyes. When he heard Chu Xinrou say that she had picked up the token of Prince Jing, his eyes suddenly opened and he stared at the gold Epiphyllum ornament in her palm without blinking.
Chu Xinrou didn't notice the strange look in his eyes and continued, "Brother, we can use this token to establish a relationship with Prince Jing."
"As long as we can send someone to find out where Prince Jing lives, you and I can go and return it in person. Prince Jing will then owe us a favor."
Chu Xinrou's breathing became heavier when she thought of the stunning glimpse she had at the Prince's Mansion.
That is the real prince and noble, much better than Li Jue who has his cake and eats too, and is still thinking about Shen Shuwei in his heart.
Chu Yunlan wanted to take the Epiphyllum gold ornaments and examine them carefully, but Chu Xinrou grabbed them in her palm and avoided him.
"After all, it is an important token. It's good enough if you have an impression of it in your mind after reading it." Chu Xinrou's cheeks flushed and she spoke shyly.
Holding this gold ornament, Chu Xinrou felt as if she was holding the hand of Prince Jing, and her heart was beating very fast.
Chu Yunlan looked at Chu Xinrou's shy face and asked suspiciously, "Xinrou, have you met Prince Jing?"
Otherwise, why would she have such a shy girlish look?
Chu Xinrou lowered her head in embarrassment, whispering as softly as a mosquito, "I exchanged glances with Prince Jing, and then I found this Epiphyllum gold ornament."
Chu Yunlan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He pulled Chu Xinrou over and said, "Then Prince Jing must have had feelings for you as well, and he deliberately left this token behind."
"Otherwise, why were you the only one who picked it up among so many people at the prince's banquet today?"
"Prince Jing must have taken a fancy to you."
Chu Xinrou naturally knew that this was not the case, but as she listened to Chu Yunlan's words, an idea gradually took root in her mind, dispelling her rationality and doubts.
What my brother said makes sense. How could she pick up such an important token?
Prince Jing must have fallen in love with her at first sight, and knowing that she was hiding behind the courtyard wall, he deliberately dropped this gold ornament of Epiphyllum to lure her to pick it up, secretly expressing his admiration for her.
Chu Xinrou thought about it, her cheeks becoming more rosy, she held the gold ornaments of Epiphyllum to her heart, and that brief glance flashed through her mind again and again.
"I'll go tell my father right now that Prince Jing has taken a fancy to you! Our family is going to have a prince consort! No, a princess consort of Prince Jing!" Chu Yunlan walked out excitedly.
Chu Xinrou quickly pulled him back, blushing and angrily saying, "Brother, don't talk nonsense about something that hasn't even been decided yet."
Although she said so, Chu Xinrou's eyes were full of determination.
She is good-looking and comes from a prominent family, so she is more than qualified to be a princess.
Compared to Li Jue, the youngest son of a marquis who is not even a prince, Prince Jing, a rare talent, is worthy of her.
She even thought about what clothes to wear and what her first words should be when she met Prince Jing.
What's the point of this bitch Chen Shuwei pretending to be noble and seducing Li Jue away? She is admired by the Prince of Jing, which is something Chen Shuwei will never be able to catch up with in her lifetime.
"Brother, you'd better go out and find out where Prince Jing lives so that we can go there in person to return the token." When talking about the token, Chu Xinrou closed her eyes shyly.
Chu Yunlan was so excited at the thought that he would have the Prince of Jing as his brother-in-law in the future that he completely forgot that his family was discussing marriage with the Li family. He changed his clothes and went out.
In the restaurant, Chu Yunlan and a few friends were toasting each other.
Since he was kicked out of the Juxian Tower that day, many of his friends have distanced themselves from him, and Chu Yunlan has been feeling pent up. After a few drinks, he drunkenly boasted about Chu Xinrou getting the token from Prince Jing.
Several friends looked at Chu Yunlan doubtfully. They knew that Prince Jing had a bad reputation. How could such a Shura Yaksha be attracted to a woman?
"Brother Chu, are you serious? Did Sister Xinrou really receive the token from Prince Jing?"
It's not their fault for being so talkative, because they have also seen Chu Xinrou. She is not a stunning beauty, and there is nothing outstanding about her. How could Prince Jing be attracted to her?
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Chu Yunlan put down his wine cup with a thud and said with a thick tongue, "Don't disbelieve me, this token was handed to Xinrou by Prince Jing himself!"
"If he hadn't taken a fancy to Xinrou, why would Prince Jing, a man, give her the token he always carries with him?"
"I heard that Prince Jing came to the capital to inherit the title of King. When he becomes Prince Jing, my sister Xinrou will be the Princess! It's too late for Mr. Lin and that group to regret breaking off relations with me now!"
Seeing that Chu Yunlan was drunk and his words were becoming more and more outrageous, even bringing up his title and royal family, several people quickly changed the subject.
However, the news that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingning had won the favor of Prince Jing and that Prince Jing had personally sent a token as proof spread quickly.
