Chapter 605: Show of affection, the prince's feeding
Yun Mujiu sat leisurely in his seat with the mentality of watching the show.
She glanced around and saw that most people were sitting down steadily.
In the row of seats opposite, Princess Ji Ling sat next to Bei Liyi.
You Luoyan and Bai Yanshuang were in the same row as her, but they were several seats away from her.
Bei Liyi didn't have the heart to look at other people, but stared at Yun Mujiu for several times, becoming more and more angry. Why was Yun Mujiu in such a good state of spirit? Shouldn't he be listless?
Yun Mujiu caught Bei Liyi's complicated look and smiled. Bei Liyi hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look directly at him.
Yun Mujiu sneered. He had to admit that Bei Liyi was quite strong. He was already ill, and was frightened by her for some time. But now he could still attend the banquet, like an indestructible cockroach.
However, there is more than one stubborn "cockroach" like Bei Liyi here.
Yun Mujiu "inadvertently" tilted his head, his eyes lingering for a moment at the end of the row, and then he retracted his gaze. Behind the row of seats, there was still a small group of people who had not taken their seats.
Sure enough, that person was among them...
She's here too...
Princess Gaoyang gave a few words of ceremony for hosting a banquet, and then had fruits, snacks and dishes served.
The music started and the dancers came on stage to perform.
Yun Mujiu looked around the room calmly. When his eyes fell on a seat in the opposite row, he paused for a moment and then looked away.
Yun Shirou's eyes were filled with horror, and her heart was beating wildly. She was wearing a veil and hiding in the back seat. In addition, her seat was very remote, so Yun Mujiu should not be able to recognize her.
Thinking of the task assigned by her father and the hatred in her heart, Yun Shirou pinched her fingers tightly.
Yun Mujiu looked at the food in front of her with amusement, then glanced at the others. Is Princess Gaoyang's demeanor so funny?
All she was given were rotten fruits and vegetables, and the presentation of the snacks and dishes was also ugly, which made people lose their appetite.
Some people sat down and started drinking tea and eating snacks. Looking at Yun Mujiu again, I found that Yun Mujiu was sitting there quietly without any movement.
Everyone quietly glanced at Yun Mujiu's table and pretended not to see it. Princess Gao Yang was targeting Yun Mujiu, so they couldn't say anything.
Due to the obstruction of their view by the people around them, Bai Yanshuang and You Luoyan were unaware of the situation on Yun Mujiu's side.
Ji Ling noticed it, and just as he was about to stand up, Gao Yang yelled at him, "Ji Ling, sit down! The banquet has begun, you are not allowed to move around."
Ji Ling subconsciously looked at Yun Mujiu, and received a "calm" look from Yun Mujiu.
Ji Ling could only sit down, but his eyes kept looking at Yun Mujiu, without touching the food on his table at all.
After the dancers performed an opening show, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Yun Mujiu shook his head and looked at the things on the table.
"What the hell are these?"
Princess Gaoyang's face changed slightly. Was Yun Mujiu trying to directly expose the dignity of her, the mistress, by being so disrespectful to her?
But if she were to be exposed, Yun Mujiu's discord with the master's family would not be good for Yun Mujiu's reputation!
As soon as Yun Mujiu finished speaking, Chunlan and her four maids brought eight food boxes and placed the food on the table.
Chunlan said, "Princess, the prince said that he was worried that you wouldn't eat well at the banquet, so he specially prepared some food and snacks from Wangxian Tower and Yuegui Tower for you in advance."
"Yes." Yun Mujiu looked shy and spoke softly - "Your Majesty is thoughtful..."
The whole audience was stunned. Many people held their teacups motionlessly, and their extended chopsticks also stopped in the air.
Lord Ye, Princess Ye, is it really okay for you to show your affection in public like this?
"Oh, Your Highness always feeds me like this, what if I get fat?" Yun Mujiu showed his affection again.
"How could that be? The prince loves the princess so much that he is afraid that she will lose weight. Princess, you should take more nourishment to avoid the prince worrying about you." Fusang replied seriously.
There was a plate full of food in front of Yun Mujiu, and every dish was delicious.
Although the chefs at Princess Gaoyang's mansion were not bad, and the food in front of everyone was also very good, it was nothing compared to what Yun Mujiu had in front of him. Wangxianlou was the most famous restaurant in the capital, and it was usually difficult for people to book a table, let alone order so many signature dishes in advance.
As for Yueguilou, it is the only restaurant in Beijing that mainly serves medicinal food, and its business is extremely hot. People in Beijing regard eating the medicinal food of Yueguilou as a new fashion trend.
Princess Gaoyang didn't expect Ye Xiaohan to care so much about Yun Mujiu, and she was dissatisfied with her being humiliated.
She asked sternly, "Princess Ye, are you dissatisfied with the food prepared by the chef in this palace?"
"Why do you say that, Princess Gaoyang?" Yun Mujiu would not answer Princess Gaoyang directly. If she expressed her dissatisfaction, Princess Gaoyang would take advantage of the situation again.
Princess Gaoyang knew that Yun Mujiu was playing dumb, and added: "I don't even need the food in my house when I see you."
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's a little hard to swallow." Yun Mujiu pointed at the fruits with an embarrassed look on his face, "Princess, look, these fruits are not cleaned, and some are even rotten."
"Princess, you know that I have always been in poor health. If I take food that is not good for me, I will be more likely to get sick. The prince loves me so much. If I get sick from eating here, wouldn't it worsen the relationship between the prince and the princess? And where will the princess and the Cao family's reputation be?"
Princess Gaoyang originally wanted to wait for Yun Mujiu to point out the problem with the food, and then accuse Yun Mujiu of being domineering and picky about food, and disrespectful to the host family, but she didn't expect that Yun Mujiu would bring up Ye Xiaohan after pointing out the problem.
Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Ye is suffering from a strange disease, and King Ye is very concerned about her condition.
Now that Princess Ye says she is not feeling well, and King Ye is worried about her, who dares to affect Princess Ye's safety!
Princess Gaoyang gritted her teeth and turned around to reprimand the servant who had just served the dishes. Yun Mujiu had made it clear who the patient was, so how could she have the nerve to blame Yun Mujiu, a weak woman in a disadvantaged position!
"How dare you! How dare you put unprocessed food in front of Princess Ye! All of you, get down here and receive your punishment!"
The servants were all acting according to Princess Gaoyang's orders, and now they understood that the princess was putting the blame on them. They didn't dare to say much, and kowtowed to Yun Mujiu to apologize, then left.
Princess Gaoyang noticed everyone's subtle expressions, forced a smile, and looked at Yun Mujiu.
"It's my fault. I'll have someone serve you a new dish."
"No need to trouble Princess. The prince specially prepared so much food for me, and I really can't eat any more." While Yun Mujiu politely refused, he did not forget to bring up Ye Xiaohan to show off their affection.
Princess Gao Yang froze, gritted her teeth and said, "The Night King and the Night Princess are truly in love."
"Princess, please forgive me for making fun of you," Yun Mujiu smiled, not forgetting to stab Princess Gaoyang in the heart again - "The relationship between me and the prince is nothing compared to the relationship between the princess and her husband."
Princess Gaoyang was so angry that she laughed.
Many ladies who have a low sense of humor pursed their lips tightly, afraid of laughing out loud. Princess Ye has such a mean mouth!
They had heard some rumors in the capital—Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Cao were not actually that loving. Princess Gaoyang had lost three prince consorts before, and now the fourth prince consort was Prince Consort Cao. They just didn't know what Prince Consort Cao's situation would be like in the future.
