Qi Yichen was painting in the pavilion in the yard, and his secret guards came to report.

"My lord, I have already led the emperor's people to investigate Liu Yan. Now the princess knows Liu Yan's true identity."

"Ah."

In the previous life, because Qi Yichen did not take action, the emperor actually agreed to marry the princess in the end.

But things are different in this life. Qi Yichen doesn't want Liu Yan to have a chance to rise to the top.

No reason, just to help the little girl vent her anger.

Picking up the brush that he had just put down, he was just wondering why Xu Jinyi hadn't come over today when he heard her footsteps.

"Your Majesty, are you painting again today?"

Xu Jinyi came here every day these days, and Qi Yichen was used to her skillful tone.

Xu Jinyi stood beside him and looked at the lotus he painted.

"What's so good about you who paint lotuses and sweet-scented osmanthus landscapes every day? You're not as good-looking as me. Why don't you paint me? I'm so beautiful, right?"

"Can't you be a little reserved like a girl? Also, if you say my paintings are not good-looking, are you not afraid of being beheaded?"

Xu Jinyi wore a goose-yellow dress today. She looked young and energetic, and her smile could easily infect others.

Since Qi Yichen was injured, he rarely saw outsiders. These days with Xu Jinyi's company, this boring life seems to have more color.

At least let him no longer live for the sake of living.

"How can our handsome and kind-hearted prince be willing to chop off my head, right?"

"Besides, my head is so beautiful, is your prince willing to part with it?"

Xu Jinyi bent down and held her face with her hands, making the look of a flower, and even winked at Qi Yichen.

She didn't believe it. There would still be a day when this bitch man couldn't seduce her.

Although the progress is slow, Xu Jinyi knows that there is progress every day.

At least the dog man is now willing to let her get close and no longer drives her away.

Xu Jinyi's unexpected approach made Qi Yichen's heart beat faster.

He stretched out his index finger and touched her forehead: "She's pretty, but her eyes are a bit hard to use."

Xu Jinyi pouted, knowing what the man was talking about: "I was blind before, but now my eyes are better, don't you think so?"

Qi Yichen raised his eyebrows: "Although I am disabled, why do you think I will marry a married woman?"

As soon as the words came out, Qi Yichen regretted it.

In fact, he didn't know why he said that. It was obviously not what he meant.

He didn't mean to dislike her, nor did he mean to look down on her.

He just didn't know why, but he couldn't help but feel irritated when he thought about other men having her.

Thinking that she had been so kind to other men before, he felt unspeakably unhappy.

And the food she cooked, he felt inexplicably unhappy when he thought that she cooked it for that man.

Seeing the woman's face turn pale, her words of apology were choked in her throat, and she put her hand on her leg.

Xu Jinyi stood up, spoke in a cold voice, and bowed to Qi Yichen in a polite manner.

"My daughter is shameless and has climbed too high. She has failed to recognize the current situation. She has caused a lot of disturbances recently. I hope you will forgive me."

This was the first time that Xu Jinyi used such a cold tone when facing Qi Yichen.

The sense of alienation is revealed everywhere in the rules.

This change made Qi Yichen frown slightly, as if he was not used to Xu Jinyi's well-behaved appearance.

"That's not what I meant. I didn't mean to belittle you or look down on you. I..."

"My daughter knows that she has been married to someone before and is not worthy of the prince. She has been disturbed a lot recently. Thank you to the prince for not blaming me. I will retire."

Xu Jinyi left quickly without giving Qi Yichen any time to react.

Back in Zhuangzi, Xu Jinyi pulled up weeds on the wall and lost her temper.

"You man, how dare you despise me."

"Heartless, you eat so much of my food and you still dislike me."

"What's wrong with being married? Can't marry again after being married? Can't pursue true love after being married?"

"Huh, why don't I ignore you because you don't like me?"

"I have such a beautiful face for nothing, but my heart is made of stone."

"This young lady is so beautiful, I really don't know how to appreciate it."

……

The next morning.

Qi Yichen looked at the ordinary breakfast on the table and knew that Xu Jinyi didn't bring anything to eat today.

Before, there were three meals a day, and there would definitely be a dish on the table brought by her.

Thinking of Xu Jinyi's departure yesterday, Qi Yichen suddenly lost his appetite.

"Get out of here."

After saying that, he didn't need Eunuch Deng to push the wheelchair, and slid the wheelchair to the yard by himself.

Next, not only breakfast, but also Xu Jinyi didn't show up for several days.

Qi Yichen's face grew longer and longer, and his whole body exuded a chilling air.

The most miserable thing is the chef in Zhuangzi. Every day I want to cry when I see the meals that are returned to them and asked to be remade.

"Each of you has been an imperial chef for many years and has been cooking for more than ten years. You are not even as good as a lady from a wealthy family. Do you have the face to say it out?"

"To say that he has been specializing in recipes for more than ten years and that his skills are excellent, I think it is just a boast from others."

Qi Yichen's face turned dark as he looked at the dishes on the table.

The four chefs knelt in front of him, their heads buried in the ground after being scolded.

They were also lucky enough to taste Xu Jinyi's cooking once.

That's what Xu Jinyi did more, and everyone in Zhuangzi got a share of it.

To be honest, they all praised Xu Jinyi's cooking skills after eating.

But they can't do it.

Eunuch Deng shook his head behind Qi Yichen and observed a moment of silence for the four imperial chefs.

When Qi Yichen wasn't paying attention, he quietly slipped out.

Qi Yichen glanced at Eunuch Deng who was leaving without speaking.

As soon as Eunuch Deng went out, he met Bai Zhi in the village where he was about to enter. He quickly called out to the person who was stopping him: "Miss Bai Zhi, Miss Bai Zhi."

Bai Zhi turned around and looked at Eunuch Deng in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with Eunuch Deng?"

"Miss Bai Zhi, where is your young lady? Is she okay? Why haven't you seen your young lady here these days?"

Bai Zhi: "It's very good. Eat well and sleep well. I go to the mountain every day and say I want to catch pheasants and roast them."

Eunuch Deng laughed out loud in embarrassment.

Her young lady wanted to sleep well and drink well, but after flirting with his prince, she ran away, leaving him unable to eat or sleep well.

"The lotus seeds in our lotus pond are ready to be picked. I wonder if your lady needs them. Will she come over today?"

Eunuch Deng's face was full of sorrow. If Miss Xu didn't come over today, he would freeze to death from the cold air on the prince's body.

Bai Zhi shook her head: "My lady never eats lotus seeds. They are bitter and not delicious."

Eunuch Deng's face twitched: "Did your lady cook any new dishes today? Did she cook more?"

Finally, there was one thing, and Bai Zhi nodded: "Today, Miss made braised loach. I bought the loach from the children in the village below. It is super delicious, but I have already finished it."
