The ointment was slightly cool, and it was applied to the back of Xie Lingqin's hand.
Xie Lingqin stared intently as the ointment spread across the prince's fingertips and seeped into her skin.
Time seemed to stand still, but the atmosphere was far from pleasant.
"Your Highness, have you finally had a change of heart?"
The prince paused in applying the medicine, his gaze falling on Xie Lingqin's face, his expression shifting, before he abruptly threw Xie Lingqin's hand away, saying, "You don't know what's good for you."
"It hurts." Xie Lingqin gasped, gritted her teeth, and simply lifted the curtain to jump off the carriage.
The air is so fresh.
Xie Lingqin ran a long way before finding a place to change her clothes. Just as she was about to return to her residence, she suddenly remembered that the carriage was still tied up elsewhere, and the giant clam was still at the hot pot restaurant.
He immediately changed into men's clothing and headed to the hot pot restaurant.
At this moment, Chunxun and several of his friends came out of Jinhua Tower and were exchanging pleasantries not far from the entrance.
He naturally didn't recognize Xie Lingqin dressed as a man.
"Hey, the area opposite Jinhua Tower has been covered with red cloth lately, what's going on?"
And at that moment, among the passersby, a few people were talking.
"I don't know. I even asked the waiter at Jinhua Restaurant, and he said they couldn't figure it out either."
"Is he planning to open a restaurant? If he does, then this boss really has no vision. Competing with Jinhua Restaurant for business is just shooting himself in the foot."
"They might be selling cloth, rouge..."
"If such a large space is used to sell these things, doesn't that show a lack of vision? This is a food street, and they're selling just the looks..."
The sounds of chatting and laughing passed by.
Xie Lingqin composed herself, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Your Highness, Lingyu is very happy today."
"As long as Lingyu is happy, I'll take you to fly kites again in the spring after autumn and winter."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
“Oh, speaking of which, there’s a party in the palace this Spring Festival. I could take you there to watch the fireworks.”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Upon hearing the sound, Xie Lingqin looked towards the carriage outside Jinhua Tower.
Yuwen Xian and Xie Lingyu were deeply in love. The man was charming and gentle, with affection in his eyes, while the woman's face was flushed and her eyes were like water.
And those little lips, so bright red...
Look again at the wise king's mouth...
So moisturized.
These two must have been quite affectionate in the private room on the second floor of Jinhua Restaurant.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Xie Lingqin's mocking smile faltered, because she suddenly remembered that her inner garment had been wide open and her black hair loose earlier...
It's okay, it's okay.
Anyway, everything that shouldn't be seen is covered up.
Showing a little waist or some flesh is nothing.
But I'm so unwilling!
Shaking her head, Xie Lingqin found a dark spot and quickly climbed over to the opposite side of Jinhua Tower.
It was past midnight, the autumn sky was high and the air was crisp, the weather was slightly cool, and Xie Lingqin pushed open the door in the hallway.
When I pushed open the door, I was almost shocked.
Tridacna was sitting at a table, and next to her were about ten large bowls of spicy hot pot, all of which looked like they had been eaten clean.
Tridacna was still licking her lips with lingering enjoyment when she put down her bowl. Upon seeing Xie Lingqin arrive, she immediately stood up and said, "Young...Master, I haven't eaten much. I've only had eleven bowls."
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched violently, "You 'only' ate eleven bowls—"
The giant clam silently lowered its head.
"I say, Yan She, are you some kind of gluttonous beast? You can eat so much, and you only ate eleven bowls. I was almost worried she'd go broke from eating." Bai Yu came out of the kitchen upon hearing this, his expression showing that he was also speechless.
Xie Lingqin coughed lightly.
The giant clam had already quickly moved over, pleading softly, "My lord, I'm just a big eater sometimes. Maybe I really am a glutton."
Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes at her. "Alright, hurry up and help clean up the dishes. Taotie is an ancient mythical beast. It has only been recorded in books and heard of in legends. No one has ever seen it. If you were..." Xie Lingqin smiled meaningfully, "I would definitely be the first to sell you to make money."
The giant clam was so frightened that it immediately went to collect the bowls, "Thank goodness I'm human, thank goodness I'm human..."
"but……"
A light suddenly shone in Xie Lingqin's starry eyes, an unusual glint in them, as she looked at the giant clam, "Giant clam, do you eat it occasionally, or is it always this much?"
Tridacna stared at Xie Lingqin, cautiously wondering if Xie Lingqin disliked her. After a long while, she gave up and lowered her head, saying, "I can eat this much as long as I want to."
"So, you can eat it anytime, right?"
Tridacna thought and dared not think, silently lowering her head even lower, "Hmm, this servant has a big appetite, young master, please don't chase me away."
"That's great." The giant clam thought Xie Lingqin would chase it away, but to its surprise, Xie Lingqin patted her shoulder with great joy. "It's okay, being able to eat is a blessing, a blessing. Hmm, eat more, eat more. In the future, if you want to eat, just come and eat by yourself."
"real?"
"Of course." Xie Lingqin gently stroked the giant clam's little face. "You're so wonderful, you're truly my little lucky charm."
Tridacna was completely bewildered, finding the young lady's sudden gentleness quite frightening. Just as she was thinking this, she was suddenly pulled by someone.
"Bai Yu, what are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, Yan She, don't make me look down on you. Even though this giant clam is your maid, you can't be so inconsiderate and take advantage of her." Bai Yu said indignantly, protecting the giant clam behind her and reminding her righteously.
Xie Lingqin looked embarrassed and rubbed her forehead. "Bai Yu, I was just comforting her. She can eat more in the future."
"You still can't touch her face. What's the difference between you and those lecherous men?"
