Xiao Shanjian is still very strict, with rules and etiquette ingrained in his bones, like a conservative and cold child.
"Do you still know that I exist?"
The aloof kid is not aloof at all when it comes to words, he is very good at making sarcastic remarks.
Zhao Letong, [weird and unlovable, not as good as my nephew.]
Xiao Shanjian frowned. Did she speak just now?
Zhao Letong remembered how he had helped her to resist the thunder tribulation. He felt sorry for his hard work and smiled to comfort her: "I went to visit relatives. I didn't mean to ignore you. I brought you some delicious food."
There really was one. There was a box filled with various snacks, and at the end, an oil-paper bag was taken out, and inside it was a roast chicken, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Zhao Letong couldn't take his eyes off it. This was the roast chicken from Liuji's restaurant in the city. One had to queue up to buy it. It was so fragrant that it could be smelled from ten miles away. It was fragrant, tender, and boneless. Both the elderly and children could eat it.
[Ouch, I regret this! I should have kept this roast chicken. Shanhu queued up for half a day to buy it.]
Xiao Shanjian stared at Zhao Letong this time. Her mouth didn't move, but she could make sounds. The desire in her eyes was fixed on the roast chicken. Anyone who was not stupid would know what she wanted to eat.
You can't blame her for being greedy. She consumes a lot of energy and needs to eat more meat to replenish it. When she reaches the Golden Core stage of cultivation, she will no longer need worldly food to replenish it. She will have to eat treasures from heaven and earth, which are even harder to find.
Xiao Shanjian couldn't believe it. Could he hear what was in her heart?
After testing the water, Xiao Shanjian tore off the chicken leg and said, "Thank you very much. I'll eat it then."
One bite and your mouth is full of oil. The meat of the chicken leg is the firmest and the most delicious. Zhao Letong wants to grab it. She always eats the chicken leg.
[Hey, why did he eat it? You're welcome! If you were even a little polite, I'd probably give you a leg.]
[Doesn't this guy know how to be polite? There's still one leg left. If you give me a bit, I'll definitely eat it.]
Xiao Shanjian was suppressing his laughter. After finishing one leg, he tore off the remaining one and said hesitantly, "Ordinarily I should give it to you, but since you gave it to me, you must have eaten it yourself. So forget it. There's no need for pretense in our relationship."
Zhao Letong: “…”
[You, you..., did this on purpose? Out of sight, out of mind. I should have known not to come see you earlier.]
"You're right, eat well, drink well, and keep your body healthy.
【I'll choke you to death.】
Zhao Letong left in a huff. Xiao Shan laughed so hard that his stomach ached, and quickly asked the servant to deliver the food to Zhao Letong, adding two wings.
When Zhao Letong got the chicken, his dissatisfaction disappeared and he ate the chicken leg happily.
"He has a conscience."
Shanhu said, "Young lady, Mr. Xiaoshan was teasing you on purpose. You've been fooled."
"Yeah?"
Zhao Letong is not a real child, but she was used to being alone in her previous life and had a lonely and simple personality. Now that she is a child, her emotions are expressed on her face. It is the same now and she has not learned to disguise herself.
"He's so cunning! If I don't bring him food, he'll even take away one of my favorite chicken legs. How annoying!"
Shanhu smiled and said, "If I don't give one to Miss, won't you blame him for a whole year?"
"No, forever."
Xiao Shanjian was very glad that he gave her a leg, otherwise he would be criticized for the rest of his life, always being in the wrong and inferior to her.
Although he never straightened his back, he was not punished so badly.
…
Zhao Biao went to the Princess's Mansion in person, thought about it, changed into new clothes, trimmed his beard, made himself clean and decent, and did not want the Princess to see him in such a sloppy state that it would ruin her good impression.
But he actually picked a royal blue gown, which made his face look even darker and rough. He didn't look like a gentleman even in the gown.
He felt good about himself and went to the Princess's Mansion in a heroic manner.
The eldest princess was talking about Zhao Letong. She hadn't come for the past few days. Did the heartless little girl forget about her?
There were no children making noise or playing in the mansion, and the emptiness of such a large mansion made people feel uneasy.
Madam Kong said, "Miss Letong is visiting relatives and must be busy. Miss Fang recently changed her surname and inherited the Fang family, so she also has no time to attend classes. I will invite them to come to the mansion to play in a few days."
"Chen Boyang was a scoundrel. It would have been great if that child had changed the Fang family's fortune. It's a shame that Chen Boyang died so simply. This kind of scum should have been disgraced and his entire clan punished."
Nanny Kong understood the eldest princess's hot temper. She had also learned good riding skills during her years in Beirong. The one who could lead troops to kill the enemy was no longer the delicate princess.
As he was speaking, a servant came to report: "General Zhao has arrived. Shall we receive him in the main hall?"
"Why is he here? Let's go to the flower hall. From now on, we will bring him directly to the flower hall. This is how it is done for all the Zhao family members."
The main hall is for unfamiliar guests, while the small flower hall is for the eldest princess's close guests. This is like treating the Zhao family as her own.
You have to know that several princes' wives are not qualified to go to the small flower hall. The servants knew that the Zhao family held a special position in the eldest princess' heart, but they didn't expect it to be so high.
"yes."
The eldest princess also changed her clothes to meet him. When she saw the blue clothes, she couldn't help laughing.
When Zhao Biao turned around, he saw the dignified and beautiful woman smiling like a flower. The calmness and elegance accumulated over the years made her temperament even more outstanding. Coupled with the proud and noble style of a princess, she was simply a unique and stunning beauty in the world.
I was stunned for a moment, my heart almost jumped out.
Nanny Kong coughed. The princess is beautiful, but General Zhao cannot lose his composure.
It was all thanks to Miss Le Tong. The eldest princess seemed to have returned to her twenties, and she was even confused.
"General Zhao, please sit down and talk. You don't have to be polite."
"Oh, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"No need to be polite, what do you want from me?"
Zhao Biao collected his thoughts and said, "It's like this..."
He explained the rumor that the Yiyang Princess Mansion wanted to force his eldest grandson to marry Xu Qianer, "My eldest grandson already has someone in his heart, and he has never been disrespectful to Miss Xu. I don't know who spread this nonsense, and my family really has no way to defend itself."
The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Yi Yang is really disappointing. Her daughter is just like her. If she likes a man, she must get him without thinking about whether they are a good match or not, whether they are suitable or not, or whether he likes her or not."
"The Zhao family is too high to marry. I'm worried that the princess will use the rumors to ask the emperor for a marriage, which will cause trouble. I have no choice but to ask the eldest princess to explain it clearly to the emperor."
If Zhao Biao disobeyed the imperial edict after it came down, it would be a crime of disrespect, and even if he was right, it would become unreasonable. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it seemed to him.
The eldest princess said: "It's just a small matter. I will go to the palace and explain it to the emperor. However, your family will completely break off relations with Prince Su. You should be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If Prince Su doesn't understand, I can't help him. My sons of the Zhao family don't want to cling to the powerful, nor will they sacrifice their marriages for arranged marriages. We just want to live a comfortable life and marry someone we love. After all, we are going to be husband and wife for life."
