Seeing Bai Susu staring at him intently, Feng Qiwu felt slightly uneasy for once.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Otherwise, why would she be staring at him so directly?
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu nodded seriously, and her cheesy pickup lines came straight out, "Yes, your face is full of handsome charm, and I’m so mesmerized that I can’t bear to look away."
Unable to resist, his face heated up, and he looked at her with feigned annoyance, "I get it. You should hurry up and eat."
Then he picked up chopsticks, slightly awkwardly, and added a piece of dish to her bowl.
Yet, his heart started fluttering again due to Bai Susu’s words.
This little rascal is getting more and more cheeky!
But he just falls for it, cough cough.
Bai Susu was surprised as she watched Feng Qiwu’s clumsy attempt at adding food to her bowl.
She knew he must be doing this for the first time.
For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but smile, feeling blissful as she ate the food in her bowl, and after swallowing, she sighed to Feng Qiwu, "This food wrapped in a layer of love tastes exceptionally good! Shu Kuang, I want more!"
With these words, she looked expectantly at Feng Qiwu.
It’s just a meal, and you can make it sound so fancy?
But who makes him just happy to indulge her?
"Hmm." Feng Qiwu nodded slightly, with his ears turning red.
But he couldn’t deny that this meal was the most delicious one he’d ever had.
Meanwhile, Bai Susu watched Feng Qiwu’s ears turn red, secretly laughing to herself: Is this all he can take?
She hadn’t even fed him yet!
She remembered back in her university’s dining hall, there was a sign prohibiting couples from feeding each other due to the sticky and sweet interactions.
At the time, she wondered if it was necessary.
They were all adults; didn’t they have hands? Did they really need to feed each other?
Now she suddenly understood a bit of the fun within it.
But if she really had to put it into practice, she’d rather not.
It’s too pretentious.
The meal gradually finished amidst mutual sharing of dishes.
Bai Susu had a small appetite and soon was full.
However, she didn’t leave the table after finishing eating; instead, she instructed Nuannia to bring in her tea-making tools.
Feng Qiwu originally thought she was going to brew some tea leaves for him, but instead, he saw her picking up a bunch of herbs and the like to brew. Soon, a slightly bitter yet sweet fragrance filled the air.
When Feng Qiwu finished eating, Bai Susu poured him a cup of tea.
"Shu Kuang, have a taste of this Hundred Herbs Flower Tea. I made it according to ancient recipes from medical books. It clears heat and detoxifies, aids digestion," Bai Susu remarked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu raised an eyebrow.
Then he reached out to take it.
Initially, it tasted slightly bitter upon entering the mouth, but the next moment, a sweet aftertaste appeared on the tip of the tongue, and a subtle, elegant floral fragrance filled the nostrils.
Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but look at Bai Susu with surprise.
"You’ve only been reading books for a few days, and you can already brew such delicious flower tea?"
He had to admit, the flower tea was indeed great.
Seeing Feng Qiwu liked it, Bai Susu felt relieved.
"I’m glad you like it; I was worried you wouldn’t be used to its taste," Bai Susu said with a smile.
Feng Qiwu’s lips curved slightly, "Not at all, it matches my taste quite well."
"Then I can be at ease."
At that moment, Chuntao hurriedly rushed over, "Miss, something’s wrong. The Prime Minister is coming over."
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately turned to Feng Qiwu.
Feng Qiwu, on the other hand, glanced casually at the panicked Chuntao, "Why the panic?"
Chuntao instantly quieted down.
Then, Feng Qiwu calmly looked at Bai Susu, "Then I will take my leave. In a couple of days, I’ll come to propose; once we’re engaged, we can meet openly."
Hearing this, Bai Susu nodded shyly and expectantly.
"Yes, I’ll wait for you!"
"Hmm." Feng Qiwu’s lips curled up.
Then he quickly whispered, "Stay quietly in bed tonight waiting for me, okay?"
"Okay..." Bai Susu nodded quickly.
But inwardly, she couldn’t help but secretly think: Anyone who overheard this would probably think they were going to have a passionate night or do something scandalous.
Looking at her obedient demeanor, Feng Qiwu felt his heart melt.
She really indulged him in a special way.
With a gentle touch, he tucked Bai Susu’s hair behind her ear, and in the next moment, Feng Qiwu’s figure vanished.
Seeing this, Bai Susu took a deep breath, then calmly said to Chuntao and Nuannia, "Clean up the table first."
Then they quickly and efficiently cleaned up the leftovers on the table. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI-Fire.ɴet
When Prime Minister Bai arrived reeking of alcohol, the room had already returned to silence, filled only with the lingering fragrance of flower tea.
"Grandpa, has Mr. Ming already left?" Bai Susu asked after greeting him.
Prime Minister Bai nodded, then looked at her, "Susu, what made you suddenly think of studying medicine? Doctor Ming says you have a real talent for it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu replied with a calm smile, "Grandpa, actually... Granddaughter suddenly wanted to study medicine for the Crown Prince."
"Doesn’t everyone say the Crown Prince has a violent disorder, with mental issues? Granddaughter thought, even if I can’t cure him, it would be good to learn more about his condition." Bai Susu explained.
Prime Minister Bai listened and showed a look of sudden realization.
Then he said meaningfully, "You should indeed learn more about the Crown Prince’s condition, but even the Imperial Hospital’s physicians can’t cure him, so don’t expect too much."
"Moreover, when you go to the Eastern Palace, remember to mind less of the Crown Prince’s business, understand?"
The Emperor doesn’t want the Crown Prince to get better, so who dares to heal him?
Susu’s heart is good, but it’s not what the Emperors wants to see.
Bai Susu was taken aback after hearing Prime Minister Bai’s words.
Then she frowned and asked, "Grandpa means... I should have less interaction with the Crown Prince?"
"You two will be husband and wife, joined as one, how can there be less interaction? Grandpa just wants to tell you that in matters that are not yours to handle, worry less. You just need to live peacefully in the Eastern Palace, and as for other matters, don’t get involved."
These other matters naturally include the Crown Prince’s violent disorder.
Remember, as long as the Emperor is around, the Crown Prince will have no chance to rise.
Thus, Susu must manage herself, minimizing her involvement with the Crown Prince to establish herself securely within the Royal Family.
If she cares too much about the Crown Prince, it will make the Emperor unhappy and suspicious of her.
The Emperor could ruin such an outstanding Crown Prince for the sake of power, let alone a mere her.
