Chapter 467 Extra - Eating Sweets Makes Me Feel Good
The crown prince's expression changed repeatedly, his thoughts growing increasingly profound.
"Alright, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Qingning got up and sat back down in her seat.
It was only then that she realized that dealing with the Crown Prince was far more exhausting than when she first entered the Lin residence.
She missed her Ayan even more.
Seeing the slight disappointment in Ye Qingning's eyes, the Crown Prince's mood eased somewhat.
It seems that what she said just now was not her true intention, but she had no choice but to express it that way because she was currently in the position of the Crown Princess.
Therefore, she still had deep feelings for him.
A slight smile played on her lips: "Let's have a meal."
Ye Qingning replied, "Yes."
After passing this hurdle, there's another one. Right now, the two are a legitimate married couple, but what will they do when they go to sleep later?
However, Ye Qingning still harbored a sliver of hope.
In a sweet, innocent romance novel like this, the male lead must be exceptionally pure, so there will definitely be something to distract him at the final hurdle.
But Ye Qingning wasn't sure, since the plot was still in a state of chaos.
With mixed feelings, Ye Qingning and the Crown Prince finished their dinner in unusual quiet.
During this time, the Crown Prince even served Ye Qingning some food, which made her feel increasingly uneasy.
After the meal, the Crown Prince went to his study in the Chuyun Palace to read, and Ye Qingning could only accompany him. Sure enough, Xiaodie brewed a bowl of hot ginger soup for her and brought it over.
Ye Qingning took a sip of the spicy drink and gasped for breath.
The Crown Prince glanced at her and instructed Xiao Die, "Go and fetch some dried fruit and candied fruit."
"It's nothing, it's not medicine, it's not bitter, it's just a little spicy..."
"Eating more sweets makes you feel good." The Crown Prince thought of what Consort Shu had told him: "Eating sweets will cause the body to secrete dopamine and adrenaline, which can make people feel happy."
Ye Qingning paused in her act of drinking ginger soup, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Dopamine? Adrenaline?
How could an ancient person possibly understand this?
Could he also be a time traveler?
That's impossible!
In the novel, he is a native of the Wu Dynasty!
"Dopamine? Adrenaline?" Ye Qingning smiled and asked seemingly casually, "These are quite novel terms."
The Crown Prince merely smiled and said, "I heard it from someone in the Imperial Medical Academy, and it makes a lot of sense."
Given the relationship between Ye Qingning and Shu Liangyuan, he certainly wouldn't say that Shu Liangyuan told him this.
He didn't want her to overthink it.
"I see..." Ye Qingning lowered her eyes and drank the ginger soup, a little calculation creeping into her mind.
Could it be that there are time travelers in the Imperial Hospital?
Seeing the Crown Prince diligently practicing calligraphy, Ye Qingning didn't ask any further questions and finished a bowl of ginger soup with dried fruit and candied fruit.
This world is quite complicated, and she doesn't want to stay any longer. Completing the mission and returning to Qing City as soon as possible is the best option.
After finishing the ginger soup, Ye Qingning brought the dish of candied fruit to the Crown Prince's desk and spoke as she watched him practice calligraphy.
"The weather has been lovely these past few days, and the temperature has risen. I thought we shouldn't waste this beautiful spring day. I wonder if Your Highness has time to accompany me for a stroll in the garden?"
Her words made the prince pause, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, blurring the character "大" into "太".
He acted as if he hadn't seen anything, calmly putting down his pen, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes: "Qing'er, are you inviting me to stroll in the garden together?"
"Yes." Ye Qingning's lips twitched slightly. "Of course, if Your Highness has no objection, I would also like to invite Consort Shu to join us."
This is the most important thing.
The Crown Prince looked at Ye Qingning intently for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, Qing'er can arrange everything."
This trip provided an opportunity for him to make Consort Shu understand that he and the Crown Princess were in love, and that she had better be sensible and not cause any trouble, so that everyone could live peacefully.
The prince took a bite of the candied fruit; it was slightly sour at first, but sweet in the aftertaste.
It perfectly suited his mood at that moment.
He waved his sleeve and smiled at Ye Qingning: "It's getting late, why don't we rest soon?"
