Xiao Yan was taken aback, raised his hand to touch his handsome face, and frowned, "What do you mean? Is there something on my face?"
This time, even A-Tuo and his sister understood Wen Nongnong's implication: "The princess is saying that the Duke of Jingguo has an even thicker skin than hers, and he can just admire himself in the mirror."
After saying that, the brother and sister burst into laughter.
Xiao Yan's face turned green. "You brat, how can you talk to your elders like that?"
"How can an elder talk to a junior like that?" Wen Nong Nong made a face at him.
Xiao Yan's face was contorted with anger. "I even brought you some delicious food today, and this is how you treat me?"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. "What delicious food did my little uncle bring me?"
When the topic turned to food, Xiao Yan's mood immediately brightened, and he mysteriously pulled out a pot of wine and some braised pig's trotters, roast chicken, and other food from behind him.
"This wine is Qingfeng Pavilion's Hundred Flowers Brew, which is extremely rare and hard to come by. This time, in order to buy it for you, your uncle not only spent a lot of money, but also lost face, just to get this pot."
Wen Nongnong genuinely felt that, based on her understanding of him, he must have exaggerated, but she still gave him face and offered her support, saying, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Uncle. I will treat you to a drink when I have the chance in the future." As she spoke, she turned to Atuo and his sister and said, "Prince and Princess, please sit down and come and taste the Hundred Flowers Brew brought by our Duke of Jingguo."
The two sat down with smiles on their faces as instructed.
Atuoqingye said, "This time, thanks to the Princess, my sister was able to escape danger. Although what we brought is not as precious as what the Duke of Jingguo brought, it is still our token of our appreciation. Please do not find it offensive, Princess."
"Yes, Nong Nong, you saved me this time. You are my great benefactor. As long as you ever need my help, I will do anything for you, even at the cost of my life." A Tuo Jiang Hua grasped Wen Nong Nong's hand and patted her chest to make a promise.
"Oh dear, you don't need to do this. Didn't we say we'd eat fish together and fight together? Besides, that assassin came on strong, no one would stand idly by." Wen Nongnong was embarrassed by their behavior.
Atuo Qingye said sincerely, "It is truly an honor for me, a prince, to meet the princess during this trip to Daye."
Wen Nong Nong humbly replied, "Your Highness is too kind. I am honored to have met you both."
"Alright, stop with the 'honor' stuff. If you ask me, the greatest honor for you is to have met me," Xiao Yan said shamelessly from the side, and had Lü Qiao bring over cups, bowls, and chopsticks, pouring each of them a glass of wine.
Wen Nong Nong picked up the glass and saw that there was only a shallow layer of liquid in it. She immediately pulled a long face and said, "Is that all? That's too stingy. Who can drink this?"
Xiao Yan said with a smile, "Your little bit is only worth one tael of gold, and you still think it's not enough?"
Wen Nongnong didn't believe him at all. How could such a tiny bit cost an ounce of gold? Who was he trying to fool? Or was this wine some kind of celestial elixir?
She mentally grumbled as she downed the drink in her glass.
The delicate and soft texture, along with the fragrant and mellow flavor, made her squint her eyes instantly.
This wine is so delicious!
She praised it in her heart, then quickly reached for the wine pot on the table, wanting to pour herself another cup.
Xiao Yan, however, was quick-witted and moved the wine pot away.
"Let me pour it for you," he said with a smile.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Fine, let him fall if he wants to.
This wine is so delicious, I definitely can't finish it all at once.
She brought the cup closer.
