Chapter 40: Reading more helps digestion
Shadow 2 and Shadow 3 left the stage on their own accord, and even Hua Niang was "invited" away by the two.
Chunqi, who went to get the medicinal herbs as instructed, served the new food with Xia An and retreated silently.
Leave the space for Xiao Chen and Qin Yinyao.
"Your Highness has a good eye for the people he has chosen."
Qin Yinyao glanced at the empty yard and chuckled jokingly.
"You don't even have such good sense. How can you be qualified to serve the young lady?" Xiao Chen's voice was gentle, and it seemed as if there was only Qin Yinyao in his eyes.
Qin Yinyao raised her eyebrows. Coming down to earth, she even gave Prince Long some enlightenment?
The former Dragon Prince would never say such nice words.
"Your Highness is really good at talking. I wonder if he is like that only in front of me, or to everyone?" She looked at the various medicinal herbs in front of her.
The medicinal herbs collected by the Marquis are not ordinary.
Even so, it seemed a bit shabby to her.
I have to rely on these medicinal herbs with thin spiritual energy to cultivate supernatural powers, and I don’t know how much I need to eat.
I sighed silently. Even if I disliked it, it was better than nothing. I still had to eat.
I picked up a ginseng root at random and started chewing it.
"Words always contain too much deception and concealment. If you really want to know the answer, why don't you monitor me and find the answer yourself?"
Xiao Chen picked up the chopsticks and ate the dish in front of him slowly and leisurely.
Su Niang was the cook he specially selected, so her cooking skills were naturally good.
"I heard that the eldest lady lost her appetite during dinner. Why don't you eat some more now? Consider it as keeping me company." Xiao Chen took the serving chopsticks, picked up some dishes and put them into the bowl in front of Qin Yinyao.
"Your Highness, why don't you tell me how to remove the firewood from under the cauldron?" Qin Yinyao didn't even look at the food, but just stared at Xiao Chen's face.
Looks good and goes well with rice.
Love to read and read more, it helps digestion.
Xiao Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "The verdict in the case of murdering his wife for the sake of luck has not yet been announced."
Qin Yinyao understood immediately.
"Your Highness, as the crown prince, has seen all sorts of good things. As an unfavored member of the harem, I really don't have anything good to give to Your Highness."
She smiled and picked up some food for Xiao Chen: "Let me offer you the last wish that the City God owes me to you, Your Highness."
She had already allocated these wishes.
There was originally a spot for Xiao Chen.
"The eldest lady granted two wishes to Madam Cen and her daughter, and another to Hua Niang. Is this the last one for me? The Soul Nourishing Pills I requested were also given to Li Cheng and the others."
Xiao Chen ate the food Qin Yinyao picked up and smiled faintly: "Miss, you've been busy all day, so you haven't missed anything, right?"
Qin Yinyao smiled arrogantly: "Do I still need a wish?"
She bit the ginseng in her hand meaningfully and said, "Your Highness knows all about my affairs."
Xiao Chen was amused by her childish threat and nodded politely with a smile: "The eldest lady is precious, so I naturally have to pay some attention to her."
"only……"
The tone suddenly changed: "I don't have any wishes at the moment, so I need to trouble the City God. How about changing the gift, Miss?"
"Then I wonder what Your Highness wants?" Qin Yinyao didn't care.
If she could give it, she would be willing to give it for the sake of Prince Long's tender face.
"Miss, if you just embroider a purse or something, I will be very satisfied." Xiao Chen said.
Qin Yinyao's smile froze: "..."
embroidery?
Seeing her reaction, Xiao Chen changed his words: "Or, play Yingluo?"
Qin Yinyao: "..."
Xiao Chen was silent for a long time, then tentatively asked, "Or... I can select some jade materials, and Miss can draw a pattern for the jade pendant? And then have the craftsmen carve it according to it?"
Qin Yinyao: "..."
Draw... draw.
"Your Highness is going further and further on the path of making things difficult for me." She was about to burst.
None of these things she said were what she was good at.
Xiao Chen also fell into a strange silence.
It seems that the eldest lady is always the one who has never been involved in housework.
"But I can draw a peace amulet on the jade. Your Highness can choose a style and let the craftsmen carve it out." Qin Yinyao tried to save face.
She is not very good at drawing, but she is very good at drawing talismans.
"Okay." Xiao Chen agreed with a smile.
After a series of twists and turns, I am already satisfied to receive a gift made by the eldest lady herself.
After confirming the gift, Xiao Chen ate quietly.
Eating in a polite manner and not talking while eating have been taken to the extreme.
I guessed it was evening, so I didn’t eat much and put down my chopsticks.
After rinsing his mouth, he drank tea and watched the stars and the moon with Qin Yinyao.
"Your Highness, what do you think heaven is like?" Qin Yinyao tried desperately.
Xiao Chen: "Miss, if you ask the sky, the stars are shining brightly and the moon is bright, just like a painting."
"If you're asking about the legendary heaven, I personally think it's probably not much different from the human world."
The answer was quite complete and without a single flaw.
Qin Yinyao rolled her eyes at him: "Old fox."
Xiao Chen didn't stay for long, and left because he was worried that it would disturb Qin Yinyao's rest.
Qin Yinyao took a bath and went to bed while feeling groggy from the effects of so many pills.
The next day, Hua Sui went to the ancestral hall under the pretext of shopping and revealed the matter of the dowry and the inheritance of the General Protector's Mansion to the Marquis' wife.
"I understand. You can go down now." The Marquis's wife said calmly, "Be careful and don't let her discover your identity. Otherwise..."
"I dare not." Hua Sui knelt down respectfully, looking like a docile little lamb.
The Marquis's wife was very satisfied.
Sure enough, although the skinny horse has not yet been tamed, the method of taming its heart is very clever.
He calmly sent Hua Sui away, and when he returned to the ancestral hall, he could no longer hold it in, and immediately told the Marquis what had happened.
"I expected this to happen." The Marquis's face was so gloomy that ink could be squeezed out, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes. "I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
"My Lord, you know the accounts of the Marquisate. Although the Marquisate has some assets, if we hand over so many properties and shops at once, I'm afraid the Marquisate's expenses will not be enough to cover the income."
The Marquis's wife said anxiously.
Although she was born in the Liu family, she entered the marquis's mansion as a concubine. The Liu family was angry because her dowry was pitifully small.
The Marquis has not made any achievements in the court, and the Marquis's Mansion has been living off the money left by his ancestors.
Daily life was extremely extravagant, and the household accounts were already a bit tight.
It was not until later when Cen died and her dowry and all the inheritance of the General's Mansion were taken away that life became better.
Now, after only enjoying it for a few years, I have to give it up, it’s like cutting off my flesh!
What's more, some shops have been sold for cash long ago due to poor management and years of losses.
The Marquis naturally knew what his wife had said.
He suddenly thought of something and shouted, "The account books! This is bad! Quick! Send someone to destroy the account books!"
"Destroy it directly?" The Marquis's wife retorted disapprovingly: "My Lord, your intention is too obvious! Not to mention His Highness, even that little bitch Qin Yinyao can't be fooled."
