Chapter 842 The Truth - Twenty Years Ago 3
The Seventh Prince really didn't want to discourage Crown Prince Bai Xu. In his opinion, no matter how well-mannered or beautiful a merchant's daughter was, she was still not presentable in the eyes of those officials.
However, if it were to become a concubine for these families, I imagine quite a few would be willing.
Thinking this, the Seventh Prince stared intently at Princess Baiyun.
In all her life, Princess Baiyun had never wanted to be looked at like this. If it weren't for her brother's repeated instructions before she entered the city, Princess Baiyun would have scolded the person.
"Brother, it's alright, let's go back!"
Princess Baiyun's cheeks were puffed up red from anger, which Gu Jin and the Seventh Prince saw as a sign of shyness.
Bai Xu's sleeve was tugged by Princess Baiyun, who knew that Baiyun was about to get angry. In case Princess Baiyun lost control, Bai Xu had no choice but to bid farewell to the two of them.
The two left one after the other. Gu Jin waited until A Rong closed the door again before turning back to look at the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness, why are you staring at that young lady? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to her?"
Gu Jin's scrutinizing gaze fell on the Seventh Prince's face, and the Seventh Prince immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"I swear I didn't. Although this girl is beautiful, given her status, do you think Father Emperor would agree to me marrying her?"
A merchant's daughter, who is looked down upon even by officials, how could the emperor possibly agree to marry his son?
"You still say no? You've clearly got your eye on her. Otherwise, given your personality, why would you say something like that?"
Gu Jin did not give the Seventh Prince a way out, especially after his words, Gu Jin became even more certain of his own thoughts.
The Seventh Prince was speechless at Gu Jin's knowing expression. What did he say? He wasn't wrong; that little girl was indeed of low status!
"Brother Gu, something's wrong with you, something's very wrong with you."
"You're the one acting strange. Hurry up and eat. You scared everyone away. We need to eat more."
Gu Jin rolled her eyes at the Seventh Prince and then lowered her head to eat voraciously.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince glanced at the dishes he had ordered and ultimately had no choice but to bury his head in his food.
After Princess Baiyun and Prince Baixu left, they did not go straight back to the inn. Although they were angry, they still had to eat.
Most importantly, Princess White Cloud discovered a dish that she found delicious.
At another restaurant not far away, Princess Baiyun waved her hand as soon as she entered and said to the waiter, "Bring me all the dishes in your restaurant."
The woman's boldness naturally made the waiter smile. He responded and quickly went to give instructions. At the same time, Princess Baiyun's words successfully attracted the attention of a crowd.
Because she was seated in the middle of the hall, the scrutinizing gazes from all sides immediately reminded Princess Baiyun of the time when she was being stared at by the Seventh Prince.
Why are the people of Da Zhou so rude? Do they all like to stare at people?
Seeing that Princess Baiyun was about to make a move, Bai Xu hurriedly spoke up first, "Little sister, can you finish all this food?"
With Bai Xu's interruption, Princess Baiyun temporarily forgot about being stared at. "Of course I can't finish it all by myself, but I still have my brother, right?"
As soon as Princess Baiyun finished speaking, Prince Baixu felt a crowd of people looking at him, and he thought to himself: This young man looks so delicate, how can he eat so much?
Prince Bai Xu sighed, thinking, "He really is the number one brother-pitting person in Wei!"
"I can't finish it all!"
Princess Baiyun completely ignored her brother's glare and added confidently, "If we can't finish, there's always Zhongyi, there's always Mufan, and if all else fails, we can feed it to our horses. My...my horse is hungry, so feeding it to him is just as good."
Princess Baiyun was startled because she almost said "this princess," but everyone else was startled by her comment about feeding the horses.
It should be noted that even the princes themselves had never uttered such words in public in the capital. Of course, they hadn't done it behind the scenes either, as they weren't from the princes' residences and naturally couldn't know.
"Little sister, how can you be so wasteful? If Father finds out, you'll get a beating."
Bai Xu's words were not untrue. The emperor of Wei was frugal, and even though Wei was wealthy, the princes and princesses were not allowed to be extravagant.
Now that she has escaped the control of the Wei emperor, Princess Baiyun has started saying these things, and Crown Prince Baixu has no choice but to give her a few words of reprimand.
Bai Xu's words instantly drew praise from those people, but before everyone could turn around, Princess Baiyun spoke again.
“Father won’t beat me. I’ll just say it was my brother who ordered it and that he was wasting it.”
Some of the childish and willful things he said almost made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.
If they had a sister like that, they would definitely give her a good beating. But looking at this handsome young man, he actually smiled, and it was a doting smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll finish the leftovers. I won't waste anything!"
"I knew my brother was the best to me."
After Princess Baiyun finished speaking coquettishly, someone immediately brought out the dishes. Looking at the dishes she had never seen before, Princess Baiyun immediately stuffed a bite into her mouth.
"Hot, hot."
Princess Baiyun cried out in pain from the heat, but still refused to spit out the food in her mouth. Seeing this, Bai Xu couldn't help but poke her head.
"Slow down, is anyone going to take it from you?"
The interaction between the two siblings attracted a crowd of onlookers, who felt that even married couples wouldn't be so bold in their interactions.
Ultimately, this is due to the differences in customs between the two countries, and the fact that Bai Xu was unmarried, so he spoiled his younger sister quite a bit.
Princess Baiyun tasted all the dishes during the meal, but no one noticed that on the second floor, a man dressed in black was watching the two of them thoughtfully.
After eating and drinking her fill, Princess Baiyun patted her stomach, looked at the food on the table, and quickly called over the waiter.
"Pack all these things up for me, I'm taking them with me."
The waiter thought the young lady was joking, but now that he saw she was really going to take her away, he couldn't help but frown.
"Miss, taking the roast chicken and goose is no problem, but we also have soup dishes, which I'm afraid we can't pack them!"
Princess Baiyun wasn't exactly wild, but she wasn't a spoiled princess either.
These soup dishes in front of her really couldn't be packaged. After thinking for a moment, Princess Baiyun pointed to the roast chicken, roast goose, and other dishes without soup, "Then let's pack these up first!"
Princess Baiyun's understanding nature delighted the waiter, who respectfully and quickly packed the dishes into an oil paper bag and thoughtfully handed it to Princess Baiyun.
Unexpectedly, what Princess Baiyun said next almost made the waiter collapse.
