Seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries and calling each other by their nicknames, seemingly very "intimate," Ji Chenhai and his son, along with Su Rujing, finally showed some improvement in their expressions.
Ji Chenhai then allowed Shang Xiye to sit down next to Ji Fengyao, and Su Rujing hurriedly asked someone to add more bowls and chopsticks.
Wu Ying took out a silver needle and stepped forward to taste the dish, but Shang Xiye stopped him, saying, "No need."
“But Your Highness…” Wuying insisted.
Last time, the prince was poisoned because the soldier who delivered the food was an old soldier and they were careless and did not test for poison. Moreover, this group of bandits clearly did not like the prince.
"From now on, my wife and I will share the same fate. In the future, when I am at my wife's family, I will no longer need to go through these tedious procedures." Shang Xiye calmly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Seeing that he had already started eating, Wuying realized it was too late to try again, so she had no choice but to put away the silver needles and step back.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing relaxed and smiled with satisfaction.
Ji Fengyao glanced at the "gentle, kind, and approachable" Ninth Prince beside her, and really wanted to award him an Oscar. Remembering something, she looked up and raised an eyebrow at Ji Fengming opposite her.
Upon receiving Ji Fengyao's signal, Ji Fengming instantly understood and called out, "Someone, serve the Prince the main course."
Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing looked at each other in bewilderment.
What's going on? Didn't the rain stop? Why are they serving such elaborate dishes?
Ji Fengming straightened his back with an air of composure, adopting the demeanor of an elder brother, his face clearly saying, "I haven't been flattered yet."
The couple instantly understood and lowered their heads to eat.
The twins stared wide-eyed, waiting to see what would happen.
Shang Xiye had a bad feeling and turned to look at the woman, but she seemed to completely ignore his signal, burying her head in her food as if she had been starving for eight hundred years and had just been released.
A moment later, Xi Que brought over a large pot of fragrant and tender stewed chicken and placed it directly in front of Shang Xiye.
Seeing that it was just a pot of chicken, nothing strange or unusual, Shang Xiye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She graciously picked up a piece to eat and found it quite delicious. Just as she was about to offer some praise, she heard Ji Fengming say, "This is the chicken we served for your wedding yesterday. It's not appropriate to leave it here, nor is it appropriate for others to eat it. I heard that you have a big appetite, and I thought one chicken was too little, so I had someone add some. You must finish it all, brother-in-law."
Added a little?
"Pfft!" a few times.
Several small children slumped onto the table, their shoulders twitching silently.
Shang Xiye stopped halfway through picking up the second piece of meat. His beautiful lips were pursed into a line. He glanced at the woman beside him, who was covering her mouth with the back of her hand and shaking her shoulders frantically. The straight line at the corner of his lips curved upward, outlining a gentle and alluring arc. The piece of meat on his chopsticks fell straight into Ji Fengyao's bowl: "Since it is a lucky charm that has performed the wedding ceremony for us, the princess should share it with me. Only in this way can it be a sign that you and I, as husband and wife, will share both fortune and misfortune and go through thick and thin together in the future."
Ji Fengyao's laughter was stuck in her throat, unable to come out or be swallowed. She choked a few times, then looked up and met the Ninth Prince's ambiguous smile. The smile in her eyes cracked and shattered.
He then glared at Ji Fengming, "You bastard who ruined your sister's life!"
Couldn't we just leave out the wedding ceremony?!
Ji Fengming picked up the bowl and quickly shoveled rice into his mouth. In less than three seconds, he had finished the rice completely. The large bowl was then placed directly over his handsome face, and he couldn't put it down for a long time.
Next came the highlight of Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye's "love and affection," with the two of them putting a piece of meat on each other's plates and smiling and thanking each other, making everyone at the table twitch at the sight.
