Xiao Jinxing left Ye Qichi’s courtyard.
Little Wu hurriedly followed the Prince’s stride, almost wishing he would slow down.
Was the Prince furious?!
His face looked really foul.
Little Wu had no choice but to tough it out and follow behind the Prince back to his study, keeping his head low, not daring to look at the Prince’s chilly face.
In fact, the injuries the Prince had from being beaten with twenty strokes by the Emperor at the Imperial Palace had not yet healed. Although treated by the Imperial Physician in the Imperial Palace, his body did not recover as well as the Princess’s self-healing ability. Also, due to lack of proper rest, his injuries were still severe. At this moment, he had probably forgotten about his injuries, leaving only a surge of anger.
Was the Prince jealous?!
Because of the love Gu Xingchuan expressed towards the Princess.
The Princess did not reject it.
Just now, he had followed the Prince to the doorway and heard everything. He saw how the Prince clenched his fists in anger, but ultimately chose to leave.
Since he could not do anything to the Princess and Gu Xingchuan, he could only sulk as if he never heard anything?!
For the Princess, was it because he truly had feelings for her that he was able to bear it?!
Towards Gu Xingchuan, was it really just because his talents were indispensable? Or was it that the Prince feared the Princess would hate him even more if he did something to Gu Xingchuan?
Little Wu had been with the Prince since a very young age. Even though he felt the Prince was wrong in the matter of causing serious injury to the Princess, in the end, he still took the Prince’s side, so he felt that the current Prince was somewhat... pitiful.
Considering the Prince’s personality, winning back the Princess truly wouldn’t be easy.
The Princess really is different from ordinary women.
It’s as if, she doesn’t really think a husband is that important.
It’s as if, she lives more freely and carelessly.
Little Wu couldn’t help but sigh.
And he sighed audibly.
"Why are you sighing?" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was very cold, clearly venting his anger on Little Wu.
Little Wu was speechless.
When the Prince was in a bad mood, even breathing was wrong!
Ye Qichi’s small courtyard.
The winter sunlight was just right.
Ye Qichi was walking in the courtyard, sunbathing and breathing the fresh air.
The feeling of finally being alive again was really more evident than ever.
"Princess, do you want to rest for a while? Although the sunlight is strong outside, it’s still very cold. What if you catch a cold? It’s better for the Princess to go back and rest in your room," Lu You said with concern on her face.
No sooner had the Princess’s health improved a bit than she became restless.
She wasn’t very careful while walking, and even when Lu You supported her, the Princess was reluctant.
"I suddenly want to eat hot and spicy skewers," Ye Qichi said out of nowhere.
"..." So did the Princess actually listen to her at all?
"Hot and spicy skewers?" Gu Xingchuan, who had been accompanying the Princess, was somewhat surprised.
"It’s, you know, boiling a pot of spicy red soup and then cooking items like chicken, beef, lamb, skin of tofu, tofu, cabbage, scallions... and so on together," Ye Qichi’s mouth watered the more she talked about it.
"That’s what makes it delicious," Ye Qichi said as she drooled, "Of course, you can make it less spicy if you can’t handle spices."
"What ingredients are needed? I’ll prepare them," Gu Xingchuan immediately agreed.
Ye Qichi was somewhat surprised, "Really?"
"Yes," Gu Xingchuan nodded.
He simply couldn’t refuse.
Seeing the sparkle in her eyes when she mentioned "hot and spicy skewers," he simply couldn’t say no.
Thinking of the days Ye Qichi had been lying in bed, weakened...
So, to make her happy, he would do whatever it takes, even plucking the stars from the sky.
Ye Qichi didn’t hesitate and quickly listed all the ingredients she wanted to Gu Xingchuan, "Can you remember all that? Should I write it down for you with brush and ink?"
"No need," Gu Xingchuan said, "I can remember."
"Really smart," Ye Qichi praised.
She knew that Gu Xingchuan truly had outsanding literary skills and was extremely intelligent.
Gu Xingchuan felt a bit embarrassed being praised this way by Ye Qichi.
This man, he really is shy.
Thinking about Xiao Jinxing’s unchanging foul expression.
If she really had to choose, she guessed life with Gu Xingchuan would probably be happier.
Ye Qichi sighed again to herself.
How great would it be if Xie Ruotong and Gu Xingchuan could develop some feelings for each other?!
Suddenly, she missed Ruotong.
Eating hot and spicy skewers is best when there are many people.
Gu Xingchuan left Prince Chen’s Mansion to personally prepare the ingredients at the market.
Ye Qichi leisurely strolled around her courtyard, occasionally feeding the rabbits.
The rabbits have really gotten fat.
Thinking about spicy rabbit heads...
