"How did you know, my elder sister? Are you the buyer?" Wei Wangqing asked.
“Not bad, hehe, with so many beauties, how could I, your royal sister, miss out! But the one you've chosen is exceptionally beautiful, it's just... her eyes... I, your royal sister, am not worthy of them. After all, I don't want to be scared to death in bed by a single glance during 'that' moment.” Wei Qingye said with a grin.
"So, if Sixth Sister wants to take it away, just do so. Don't be polite with your older sister." She patted Wei Wangqing's shoulder as she spoke, "But Sixth Sister, you'd better be careful!"
Wei Wangqing couldn't bear to look at the Fourth Princess's lewd expression.
Seeing this, Wei Wangqing didn't bother to explain anymore. He knew that no matter how he explained, she wouldn't believe him.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness. I'll treat you to a meal sometime," Wei Wangqing said, cupping her hands in thanks.
The Fourth Princess pulled Wei Wangqing up and put her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Don't wait for another day, there's no time like the present. Let's do it today. There's a hot pot restaurant right next door, let's go eat there."
"I'm starving!" she said, rubbing her stomach.
This fourth princess is really unconventional.
Even the green branches behind him seemed to have a complicated expression.
The fourth princess is truly a complicated story!
Wei Wangqing subtly avoided the Fourth Princess's hand. "Then let's go, elder sister, please." Wei Wangqing felt quite uncomfortable being so close to someone and having physical contact with them all of a sudden.
Therefore, when Wei Wangqing saw this authentic hot pot restaurant, he couldn't help but think, "This Miss Yang really has businesses everywhere; she's done quite a lot!"
It's really impressive how she's accomplished this in just half a year, according to Nan Xiangyue's description. Looking at her, and then at herself... Wei Wangqing couldn't help but despise herself.
However, after taking a bite of the meat, Wei Wangqing sighed: Ah! So delicious! I'm so lucky!
Everyone else is working themselves to the bone in front, and I can just sit back and enjoy the ride! Sounds pretty good, right?
Wei Wangqing immediately felt a surge of goodwill towards this fellow villager!
Hmm, it's definitely not because of this hot pot.
But it's so delicious! Wei Wangqing ate many more bites.
Wei Qingye on the other side was stunned. He never expected that his royal sister would not show her stomach in real life!
He couldn't help but say, "Little Six, how many days has it been since you've eaten?"
"Not many days, not many days," Wei Wangqing replied perfunctorily while eating.
It took me a while to realize what she was asking. "Ah! No, I just ate it this morning, it was just so delicious."
"Although I found it novel and delicious the first time I ate it, I was never as hungry as you!" Wei Qingye couldn't help but shake her head, and as if she had thought of something, she added, "Luckily, this meal was on you, otherwise I was really afraid you would eat my royal residence out of house and home!"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Wei Wangqing said, "How could that be? It's just a meal." Well, this hot pot meal made Wei Wangqing feel much closer and more familiar with the Fourth Princess.
"That can't stop you from having such a big appetite!" the Fourth Princess teased.
Wei Wangqing didn't reply, because she went to drink her soup again.
Ah! Eating hot pot without drinking the soup is simply soulless! One sip of the soup, that spicy and hot feeling, it's just one word: awesome!
That was awesome!
Wei Wangqing thoroughly enjoyed the meal; it was the most pleasant day he'd had since transmigrating. Looks like he'll have to come here more often!
After returning to his residence, Wei Wangqing resumed his usual ways, staying at home without moving an inch.
Before long, the steward led two people into the mansion.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess says she's sending someone to you!" The steward thought to himself, "What kind of person is this Fourth Princess sending? I hope she doesn't corrupt our Highness."
"Oh? Come in!" I didn't expect the Fourth Princess to be so efficient, sending the person over so quickly.
If Wei Wangqing knew that Wei Qingye sent her here so quickly because he was afraid she couldn't resist wanting a night of passion, he probably wouldn't be able to sit still.
Sure enough, people always assume others are the same way they are, based on their own experience.
"Greetings, Sixth Princess. My Highness has instructed me to deliver the person, so I will take my leave now. Here is the key." With that, she placed the key to the chain in the steward's hand.
"Alright, please thank His Highness for me."
"Yes, I take my leave."
"Untie the chains," Wei Wangqing said to the steward.
"This... I'm afraid he might hurt Your Highness." Although the steward was also amazed by the man's good looks and saw that he was different from others, he was most concerned about His Highness's safety.
"It's alright. Why should I be so paranoid in my own home?"
The butler had no choice but to unlock the chains.
The man's eyes remained completely still throughout, as calm as stagnant water.
"May I have your name?"
The man seemed not to hear anything.
Wei Wangqing suddenly realized that he seemed to have never made a sound. Could it be that he couldn't speak?
Autistic?
This is a bit tricky.
"Have someone prepare some food!" Wei Wangqing said to the steward.
"Yes." The steward turned and left. Judging from the prince's gentle manner toward this man, there would probably be another male master in the manor. However, this flaw... Oh well, as long as the prince is happy, we have no right to comment. We can only tell the servants in the manor to keep their mouths shut.
"Sit down first, we'll eat later," Wei Wangqing said to the man.
The person actually found a place to sit down, so it seems they can understand it after all.
Wei Wangqing stopped talking and continued reading.
A moment later, the servants brought the meal up.
"Eat." As soon as Wei Wangqing finished speaking, the man picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. He ate quickly, but his eating manners were not uncouth; on the contrary, they were somewhat ethereal. Ethereal?
And it seems like they don't eat meat?
Wei Wangqing couldn't help but smile to himself. Surely he wasn't a monk before!
I have to say, Wei Wangqing, in a way, you're absolutely right!
Judging from his appearance, he probably hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, so Wei Wangqing didn't disturb him and quietly watched him eat.
Don't ask Wei Wangqing why he's not eating; he's just too full from lunch and hasn't digested his food yet!
After the meal, Wei Wangqing took him back to the study.
"You've eaten your fill, now you should tell me what's going on!"
The man remained silent.
“Speak! I didn’t bring you back to pamper you. You know your situation isn’t good, right? If I throw you out, your fate will only be worse than before,” Wei Wangqing threatened.
The man seemed hesitant.
Wei Wangqing pressed on, "But if I keep you here, I will protect you. At least you'll have a place to stay in the future and won't be bullied by others."
The man hesitated before finally speaking, "My name is Chuchen, and I am from the Southern Dynasty." As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at Wei Wangqing, but couldn't discern any expression on Wei Wangqing's face. He felt a little uneasy.
"Due to an accident at home, I ended up in the Northern Dynasty, and was later captured by slave owners. After being sold several times, I finally arrived here," the man said briefly.
He didn't reveal any key information, the only clue being that they were from the Southern Dynasty. Something was being concealed, something that couldn't be known to others. Wei Wangqing sighed, thinking he might be a problem—a momentary act of pity!
