Chapter 15: Finally Got to Eat Meat?!

  Don't be angry! Don't be angry......

  Why must one bother with those of low character?

  At the beginning of summer, he secretly operated his breath and barely avoided entering the "demonic path" through the Ren and Du meridians. He suppressed that murderous thought, pretending to be nonchalant, and picked up the "Qing Nang Book" in his hand, lowering his voice to say in a small, secretive tone.

  "Does Your Highness recognize the handwriting on top?"

  His eyes slid away lightly.

  "Can't you recognize this when you can recognize 'The Heart Sutra of Wind and Moon'?"

  Holding back her temper, Xia Qiqi didn't care about her own life and cursed him out.

  "Your Highness, this character is different."

  Zhao Zun murmured to himself, seemingly lost in thought as he glanced over, his calm and collected eyes revealing no ripples, as if he had just discovered the difference in font. His expressionless face furrowed its brow.

  "Could it be Zhong Dingwen?"

  "Your Highness knows?"

  He gave her a "sightless" look and responded in a low-key tone with a high-profile sentence.

  "The whole world is afraid of me, but I'm also afraid that only this king understands."

  Pretend! Pretend!... But others are just pretending, she's willing to take a loss of eighty taels just to get in on the act.

  "Your Highness..."

  Zhao Zun slightly narrowed his eyes, "The reward is probably something you can't afford."

  Bullshit!

  At the beginning of summer, Seventh Brother suspected that the Da Yan dynasty was emptying the national treasury, and even the king couldn't afford to eat his fill. Otherwise, as a prince with military power in his hands, how could he be so cheap? The first time he dodged her medical fee might have been an accident, but now he's even embezzling the eighty taels she earned from her labor - if it wasn't because he was too poor, it could only prove that this guy was born with a black heart.

  "Grandfather, the meal is ready, let's eat first."

  Zheng Er Bao bowed and entered the warm pavilion, interrupting the two people's eerie conversation.

  It turned out that the answer was the second one.

  He's really poor!

  The old man who became the emperor, his belly is precious. Don't look at him being in this remote small town station, who dares to skimp on his food and drink? Only see that peony-shaped lacquered small table, the tender and white three-silver fish soup, the fragrant and crispy lamb's belly, the delicious and savory pickled large red shrimp, the crispy outside and soft inside pumpkin cake, especially the whole fragrant roasted chicken in the countryside, making Xia Chuqi's stomach growl with hunger, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at the food on the table without moving.

  However, she completely ignored her and slowly started eating under Zheng Er Bao's diligent service.

  Can't afford to provoke, can't hide either?

  She didn't want to starve here and see people enjoying delicious food, so she was preparing to slip away.

  "Your Highness..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Er Bao's eyes had already shot over. In bold, naked characters - The prince is eating, no talking allowed.

  As expected, eunuchs have no good things!

  Cursing him viciously that he won't have a little Dingding in his next life, Xia Chuyi's evil heart arose again, and her gentle shout changed its tune.

  "Your Highness, you can't eat..."

  Zhao You turned his head and looked over.

  "Your Highness is unaware, but the big red shrimp is most afraid of pumpkin. Eating it will cause intestinal rumbling and diarrhea. It's even more inadvisable to eat it with chicken meat. If you do, you'll get boils and abscesses, or worse, your whole body will break out in ulcers and sores, vomiting blood and having diarrhea..."

  Eat! Eat! See if you can still eat anymore.

  As expected, he was obviously disgusted and lost his appetite. He pursed his cold lips, furrowed his brow, and thought for a moment before scanning the dishes on the table, then looked at her lightly.

  "Peel a prawn."

  What's wrong?

  Let her try some and see if she gets food poisoning?

  The villain has a poisonous heart, but she likes it!

  Admiring her own clever and wise brain, after teasing him, she could still eat a mouthful of shrimp meat. She happily stretched out her guilty black hand towards the large red shrimp.

  Meat! Shrimp meat! She finally got to eat meat!

  She peeled off the shrimp shell and was about to put it in her mouth when she heard him clear his throat heavily.

  "Good job, peeled pretty well."

  What?

  A large hand reached out, and her fragrant shrimp quickly fell into the thief's mouth. However, that noble cheap person frowned slightly, took a bite, and seemed unbearable, spitting it out.

  "Too salty. Zheng Er Bao, deduct this month's kitchen allowance."

  On the seventh day of summer, her hands and feet were stiff on the spot, staring at that annoying bird in clothes without blinking.

  Is he particularly fond of playing with people?

  He asked her to take a shrimp and help him peel it?

  Wasn't he disgusted by her acne and nausea?

  Does he think she's a household slave or something, ordering her around like it's nothing?

  Her stomach growled with hunger, she gazed longingly at the delicious large prawns being rejected on the ceramic plate, and then watched as dish after dish of exquisite delicacies were taken away untouched. Silently muttering "gōu yè rì dāng wǔ", believing that this guy would definitely suffer heavenly punishment.

  After everything was in order, he lazily sat down on the armchair and coldly stared at this poor medicine shop assistant.

  "Are you hungry?"

  Nonsense!

  In the early summer of July, she was secretly thinking of his ancestors, but on her face, there was a faint smile.

  "A little... I'm not hungry anymore. Just looking at Your Highness is enough."

  Zhao Zun seemed to have not noticed her peeking from behind the mountain, and instead gave her a cold glance from head to toe, making her skin crawl all over before asking faintly.

  "But I want to know what's written in 'Journey to the West'?"

  She certainly wants to know.

  Having been taken advantage of once, she didn't want to be taken advantage of again.

  She was convinced that if she continued to play along with this feudal lord, she would probably end up losing another eighty taels.

  She lowered her head and shook it slightly, saying in a soft voice, "If Your Highness has no other orders, I'll return to the medicine room now. The master is still waiting for me to go back and prepare the medicine."

  He raised an eyebrow, "Don't need me to translate for you?"

  What? She would rather believe that a sow can climb trees than that he would be kind enough to translate for her. But the attraction of "Qing Nang Shu" was too great, and she asked despite not wanting to.

  "Your Highness, what would you like Xiao to do for you?"

  "Clever." Zhao Zun replied coldly, his face expressionless, picked up a honey orange from the table and tossed it to her, "Eat it."

  Almost cried on the seventh day of summer.

  Is this the rhythm of beating a drum and giving a sweet date?

  The tangerine was not big, but its skin was thin and tender, with a lot of water content. As soon as it entered her mouth, there was a burst of sweetness. Probably because she was too hungry, she felt that in two lifetimes, she had never eaten such good fruit, which made her tongue and mouth feel fragrant, leaving a long aftertaste. Unexpectedly, she heard the man slowly sighing with a cold tone.

  "There is a dog hole under the city wall of the post station..."

  Gasp! My heart skipped a beat on the seventh day of summer.

  "Lately, there have been stray dogs coming in and out, disturbing my peace..."

  Her heart was racing even more! Thinking of her posture when she drilled into the dog hole at home, she hung her head and didn't dare to let out half a breath, afraid that he would notice her uneasy expression and raise suspicions.

  "If you can fill up the dog hole within two quarters of an hour, I might consider it."

  Think about it? Have you ever thought about ghosts?

  His cold gaze made her feel like she would be recognized and shocked at any moment. This was an easy way to shorten one's lifespan.

  People's hearts are so sinister. She has always liked to use the top strategy of the Thirty-six Stratagems - Run!

  "Your Highness is mistaken, I was born with a weak body and am not accustomed to doing manual labor..."

  Zhao Zhuang carelessly glanced at her, and didn't make any more trouble for her as she had imagined. He also didn't continue the previous topic, and didn't even give her an extra glance. Instead, he just waved his hand at Zheng Er Bao.

  "Send him away."

  Finally going to leave the sea of suffering.

  Although eighty taels are gone, fortunately I've managed to save my life.

  Out of Jade Emperor's Pavilion, at the beginning of summer, seven steps and three steps together, two steps in unison, I wish I could grow wings to leave this damned place.

  Under Zheng Er Bao's lead, she went back along the way they came to the post house courtyard to find Gu A Jiao who was waiting there.

  Just as they were passing by the northeast corner of Ma's residence, a familiar shout was heard from inside.

  "Don't... you're cheating... my grass isn't here... I want to go home..."

  Boom!

  Fool?

  On the seventh day of summer, his face changed suddenly, as if struck by lightning.

  Digression

  Now, what's the trick behind our 19th Master's gourd? To be continued...

  I see some girls complaining that Er Jin's updates are too slow, cough, actually Xiangxiang's public chapters are basically like this, because many articles are being updated, everyone has to wait for the recommended list... Uh, and I fell a few days ago, my arm was swollen, typing is very slow, and then there were no more drafts.

  Tomboy (disdainfully): Are you kidding me?

  Poor Erjin, come into my arms, muah muah. ^_^

  Zhī jiě ér (tuó sāi): This matter is not as simple as it seems...

  Please take your seat according to your number.

  ——

  Special thanks to all the girls who sent flowers, diamonds, rewards and evaluation fees to Erjin. At this moment, I transform into a cute girl and give each of you a fragrant "mua mua da"----
