By the time the barbecue was finally cooked and the minced meat porridge was ready, it was already noon. The army's meal time had passed and the three of them were hungry. Shiqin couldn't wait to set the table, but there was only one set of bowls and chopsticks, which was for the princess.
As servants, they were not qualified to eat at the same table with their masters, nor were they qualified to have meals at the same time as their masters. They had to wait until their masters finished eating before they could go to another table to eat.
Lin Jinghan told Shiqin to move another table and pointed at it, saying, "Let's eat together. Let's finish eating quickly because we have more important things to do."
Although Shiqin was surprised, she said nothing, quickly cleaned up, and invited Wu Si to eat together.
"This smell is right. I know my disciple's wife is making something delicious!" Furukawa rushed over following the smell.
"Senior Gu, you have a really sharp nose!" Lin Jinghan smiled and covered her lips with her hands. Didn't she make this breakfast just to attract Gu Chuan to come over?
She asked Gu Chuan to sit down. Without waiting for Shiqin to set the table, Gu Chuan tore off a rabbit leg and started eating. While eating, he mumbled:
"My disciple, you don't know, but for the past three days, I've been missing the roasted pheasant you made with every meal. Everything I eat seems bland. Hmm, your minced meat porridge is very unique. Come, try it!"
Lin Jinghan smiled again at Guchuan's behavior of offering a gift to Buddha, and naturally took the porridge handed by Guchuan, and drank it in small sips. At the same time, she cut off some meat from time to time and put it on the plate in front of Guchuan. When Guchuan was eating the most happily, she asked:
"Senior Gu, what did you say last night about asking the prince to help find my brother and adoptive father? How is it going?"
"Don't worry, I went to find that brat early in the morning, and he agreed. He said that you two will be reunited soon."
"Senior Gu, you are so nice to Jinghan! Jinghan will definitely respect you well in the future! Come, eat more!" Lin Jinghan was happy and moved. She cut a lot of meat for Guchuan and filled the plate in front of him.
Furukawa was not polite at all and quickly finished all the food. The few of them enjoyed the breakfast very much.
On this side, Sikong Zhan, who was checking the progress of mining, received a report from the secret guard and learned that Lin Jinghan was having a special meal with her master. Thinking of Gu Chuan praising Lin Jinghan's cooking skills in his ears these days, he was actually moved for a moment.
Although he is not very particular about food, he knows that his old man is a real foodie. If the food can be praised by his old man, it must be really delicious.
But he did not go to find Lin Jinghan, but secretly thought: It is said that a married woman regards her husband as her God. If this woman makes delicious food, she should at least send someone to bring some to him, right?
But he waited and waited, and it was already 9:00 a.m. Lin Jinghan and the others should have finished their breakfast, but no one came to bring him the breakfast he expected.
Perhaps she didn't send breakfast over specifically because she considered that the army had already had breakfast? Sikong Zhan found an excuse to convince himself.
Because he was preoccupied with something, when it came to lunch, Prince Jingnan felt like he had lost his appetite for the first time. He glanced at the door several times, but he couldn't help himself and put down his chopsticks, calling Tang Xun over.
"Go see what the princess is doing."
Tang Xun went out and came back not long after. He said with a strange look on his face, "Your Highness, the princess is having lunch now."
So this woman had never thought of inviting him to dine together? Sikong Zhan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stood up and walked towards the door: He wanted to teach this woman a lesson, what "the husband is the leader of the wife" meant!
"My disciple's wife, you are right. This way of eating hot pot is really fresh and delicious. I am really curious about what's going on in your head. You can actually come up with such a way of eating that suits my taste." Guchuan enjoyed the meal very much. He felt that he had made a fortune on this trip. If possible, he would live in his disciple's house and never leave!
Shiqin and Wu Si were still eating at another table. They had no right to interrupt the host, but they couldn't help nodding along, their chopsticks about to fly off.
"Senior Gu, are you satisfied with this? You know, this pot has its own particularities. Wait until Jinghan finds someone to make a pot specifically for hot pot. Then, it won't be too late for you to comment on this way of eating."
When Sikong Zhan arrived, he saw the four of them happily eating. He couldn't help but frown: How idle are these people? They actually cook their own meals every time! And they didn't even invite him to join them! He is the master here!
Of course, Sikong Zhan would never admit that he was jealous of his old man, nor would he admit that he was really attracted by the fragrance and coughed loudly from more than ten meters away.
Hearing the cough, Lin Jinghan turned her head slightly and saw that it was Sikong Zhan who came. She ignored him and continued to pick up the meat.
Shiqin and Wu Si quickly stood up and saluted respectfully. Feeling that their prince seemed unhappy, they didn't even dare to breathe. They felt like they had made a big mistake: they wondered if the prince would punish them?
Seeing that Lin Jinghan was unmoved, Sikong Zhan stopped where he was. It would be too embarrassing to leave, and that hot pot looked really delicious. But if he went over, the woman hadn't invited him to eat with her. If he went over alone, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Gu Chuan, on the other hand, glanced at the nonchalant Lin Jinghan, and while eating meat, he called out to Sikong Zhan, which effectively eased Sikong Zhan's awkwardness of standing far away: "My dear disciple is here, come quickly, this hot pot is delicious, let's eat together!"
After taking a few steps forward, seeing that Lin Jinghan remained unmoved, Sikong Zhan suddenly realized: When Sikong Zhan does things, why should he care whether others are happy or not? This woman must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's courage to ignore him! He must have been still poisoned by it, which was why he acted so foolishly.
He walked straight to the table, sat down in front of Lin Jinghan, glanced at Lin Jinghan, and then sat there like a big boss, waiting to be served.
Furukawa looked at the young couple meaningfully, without saying a word, and concentrated on eating the hot pot.
Shiqin hurried over and respectfully served the food to Sikong Zhan.
Lin Jinghan didn't even raise her head. She waited until Shiqin had finished setting the dishes and Sikong Zhan was about to put his chopsticks in his mouth before she raised her head and said slowly:
"The seasoning I prepared contains medicinal herbs that conflict with the antidote the prince is taking now. If anything happens to the prince after taking it, Jinghan will be unable to help."
Seeing the delicious meat about to enter his mouth, Sikong Zhan's face darkened even more: This woman didn't remind me earlier, but only reminded me at this last moment. She must have done it on purpose! Moreover, she did it on purpose and didn't hide her intentions at all. This is a blatant provocation!
Even if she pretended that she had just remembered it and spoke a little faster, he wouldn't be so embarrassed!
