The rejected Prince Rui looked aggrieved: "Why? There's so much, and you can't finish it. What's wrong with me trying it? Just one bite, not much!"
Yan Bao didn't want to cause trouble and was firm in his attitude.
Who knew that when Prince Rui saw that she really refused to give in, he took advantage of Yan Bao and the others' inattention and, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, grabbed the cassava syrup and drank it all in one gulp.
With a soft and sticky cassava in his mouth, he raised his eyebrows at Yan Bao proudly. His expression made Yan Bao want to hit him.
[Forget it, you have to test the poison yourself. Let you experience the feeling of being poisoned, so that you won't think I'm stingy.]
The Thirteenth Prince thought so too.
Seeing that he liked it, I let him eat the whole bowl.
As he ate, Prince Rui said, "It's really delicious. No wonder you like it. How come I'm only eating such a delicious dessert now?"
Prince Rui felt so regretful that he wished he could go to Mount Tai as well.
Next time, next time, no matter if I throw a tantrum or go on a hunger strike or hang myself, I must go.
Prince Rui not only ate cassava soup, but also drank cola.
The Thirteenth Prince also drank it for the first time. The taste was so strange, as if his tongue was pricked. He wanted to vomit after the first sip, but he wanted to drink the second sip, which was still breathless.
They burped ungracefully and smiled at each other.
There were also fried chicken, French fries, and potato chips, which were foods they had never eaten before. They felt different from the exquisite snacks in the palace, and they wanted to eat them again after eating them.
And the spicy strips were so spicy and intoxicating that they made their noses sweat, but they still wanted to eat them. They licked the oil off their hands and asked to take some home after eating.
Yan Bao said that he made it himself and it was not available for purchase, so he would invite them over to eat it next time he made it.
They were very sorry.
While eating, Prince Rui suddenly fell down and was quickly pulled up by Yan Bao to avoid close contact with the ground.
The Thirteenth Prince asked, "Is he poisoned?"
Yan Bao nodded.
The Thirteenth Prince was worried: "Will someone die?"
Yan Bao shook his head: [It's just a little poisonous. Logically, this cassava is not poisonous. It's just that some people have a sensitive taste for it, or have special physical conditions, so eating it might cause poisoning.]
[Prince Rui is like that. He is very sensitive to poisons and is a natural poison tester.]
If the emperor knew his condition and kept him by his side, if someone tried to poison the emperor, Prince Rui would surely be the one to take it.
Thirteenth Prince: “…”
Duke Qin probably wouldn't agree. He only has one son, and if he dies, his family line will be cut off.
"Even if no one dies, it's not good to let people faint like this, right?" The Thirteenth Prince looked at the unconscious Prince Rui with worry. This man really didn't listen to advice. He had to be poisoned before he was happy.
Yan Bao gave the Thirteenth Prince a look that said "no big deal". After they had eaten and drunk their fill, and seeing that it was almost time, he took out a snuff bottle and put it under Prince Rui's nose.
Prince Rui took a few breaths and woke up slowly.
He was confused: "What's wrong with me?"
Ziyun said, "Poisoned."
Prince Rui couldn't believe it: "Ah?"
The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "The cassava syrup is poisonous. Remember, you can't eat cassava from now on. You will fall down if you eat it."
Prince Rui felt sorry for himself: "It's so delicious that I can't eat it anymore. Why am I so weak?"
Thinking of something, he asked, "Besides coma, are there any other symptoms? Will it be fatal?"
Yan Bao couldn't help but complain in his mind: "Even though it's not fatal, it won't last if you eat it three times a day. If you eat it, you'll fall down. What if you don't wake up one day?"
The Thirteenth Prince warned: "You will die."
Prince Rui was so frightened that he gave up the idea of fainting after eating the pig.
You only have one life, so cherish it!
Yan Bao and the others ate and drank their fill at the princess's house, and only went back reluctantly after Madam Shen sent someone to look for them. They were just adults eating, drinking and chatting, and they didn't have to socialize, so couldn't they be left to play by themselves?
The answer is no.
The protagonist Yan Bao also has to show up, smile a few times, socialize for a while, and accept the ladies of the aristocratic families, as well as their daughters or granddaughters who come with them to try to get close to them, all of whom are about the same age as Yan Bao.
They acted like they were willing to make friends with Yan Bao, and if you didn't know better you would think it was their charity.
Yan Bao can't speak, and these young ladies from wealthy families don't like to play with Yan Bao.
It just so happened that Yan Bao didn't like playing with them and found it boring.
Today is her party, and I have to attend.
After gritting his teeth and dealing with them for a while, Yan Bao almost collapsed after they left: "I'm so tired, my cheeks are sore from laughing. I'll never host a party again!"
Mrs. Shen felt the same way. It was not that she had to socialize. Even if she didn't like it, she had to socialize.
Thinking of something, Madam Shen pulled Yan Bao up, held her little face, and made her look at her, so as to prevent her from playing tricks: "Tell me, what did you eat at the Princess's Mansion? Why did the Thirteenth Prince have no appetite for lunch?"
"Also, I heard that Prince Rui is in a coma. How could he be in a coma when he's fine?"
Yan Bao looked away, but Madam Shen held his face and turned his eyes back. Yan Bao could only smile ingratiatingly, and took the opportunity to act coquettishly and cutely, hugging Madam Shen and asking for a kiss.
[Mom, if I said that Prince Rui fainted from cassava syrup poisoning, you would definitely be angry. I told him not to eat it, but he insisted on eating it. What can I do?]
"Thirteenth Prince, why don't you just stare at me and tell me I didn't eat much? I ate a belly full of fried chicken, French fries, spicy noodles, cola, and cassava soup. I've made myself fat."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
How dare you say that? It's your fault for eating so much! It makes others think that the food in our Shen family is not delicious. Fortunately, we have canned yellow peaches to keep things going.
