Gu Linchao glanced at her, then suddenly pushed a full bowl of food in front of him towards her.
"Your Highness, you've worked hard. Please eat more."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Seeing the girl's frozen expression, Gu Linchao slowly curved his lips into a smile and picked up his chopsticks to eat again.
Wen Nongnong picked up her chopsticks, looking at the haphazardly piled dishes in her bowl, she had absolutely no appetite. "Your Highness, this concubine..."
“Your Highness may not know, but the army is short of food and supplies. If any soldier dares to waste food, he will be punished according to military law,” Gu Linchao suddenly said.
The words Wen Nongnong was about to say suddenly caught in her throat.
Gu Linchao was clearly threatening her.
Looking at the man's aloof features, she suddenly felt that this guy must be a heartless bastard.
"Eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold," Gu Linchao "kindly" reminded him.
Wen Nongnong gripped her chopsticks tightly, suddenly realizing she had brought it all on herself; she should have known better than to put so much food on his plate.
She wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only bury her head in her food and eat.
Gu Linchao glanced at her, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, then lowered his head and began to eat with elegant movements.
Si Yi, standing to the side, had a look of shock on his face.
The master, who never allowed anyone to approach him, actually made the princess sit down and eat with him. What happened to the promise that the princess would come and serve him?
The room was quiet.
When Wen Nongnong was halfway through her meal, she couldn't help but look up at the man opposite her.
Seeing him eat so elegantly and gracefully, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"What are you looking at me for?" Gu Linchao suddenly asked.
Caught red-handed peeping at someone, Wen Nongnong's face flushed, and she mumbled, "Your Highness, I really can't eat anymore, could I please stop eating?"
Gu Linchao glanced at her and saw that she was looking at him with watery eyes, as if she was being coquettish. He pursed his lips and scolded her in a low voice, "You're so spoiled!"
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Is she spoiled? Yes or no?
Just as she was about to continue being spoiled, she suddenly heard Gu Linchao say sternly, "Do you know how many people outside can't even afford to eat? What I hate most is wasting food!"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback, and a sense of guilt arose in her heart.
However, Gu Linchao is quite strange. As a prince, he actually hates wasting food, which is quite surprising. Could it be a habit he developed in the army?
She opened her mouth, then finally changed her words, saying, "Your Highness, I really can't eat anymore. Could I take this food back to Chenxiang Courtyard? I promise I won't waste it; I'll eat it again tonight." She paused, then added, "And I won't waste food again next time... *burp*!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly hiccuped.
Wen Nongnong was startled and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"belch!"
Gu Linchao: "..."
"belch!"
Wen Nongnong blushed and hurriedly held her breath, trying to suppress the embarrassment.
But the more she tried to suppress it, the more frequently she hiccuped.
"Hiccup, hiccup, hiccup..."
Wen Nongnong's face turned green.
A smile flickered in Gu Linchao's eyes. Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, he did not make things difficult for her. He simply said, "Since you really can't eat anymore, then forget it. But next time, you must not waste food again."
"That means... hiccup, I... hiccup, I don't need to eat these dishes anymore today... hiccup?" Wen Nongnong was overjoyed and quickly asked for confirmation. But because of the hiccups, she stammered out her sentence.
Looking into the girl's watery, hopeful eyes, Gu Linchao lowered his gaze and responded in a low voice, "Mm."
