prince's concubine

As soon as Ah Chen came back, he reported to Wang Ye's Ninghui Garden.

Zhong Min sat on the chair for 2 minutes, stood up, and said to Bingyan, "Go, report to the prince."

"What?" Bingyan didn't understand at all, but she still followed Zhong Min and walked out of the house. In fact, she was very uneasy. Zhong Min didn't let her in when Zhong Min was at Zhong's house, and she and Ah Chen stayed outside the door. Yes, so she doesn't know what Zhong Min and Zhong's family talked about. According to the usual practice, nothing good will happen. In addition, when Zhong Min came out of Zhong's house, he kept staring out of the window and wondering what he was thinking. Now that she suddenly said that she was going to see the prince, Bingyan felt even more uneasy, and she didn't know what happened, she was puzzled and didn't dare to ask, she could see that Zhong Min was in a bad mood at the moment.

Li Rui had just finished listening to Ah Chen's report, and was eating when he heard Zhong Min begging to see him, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a while, and said, "Let her in."

With Ah Chen's hearing ability, even if he couldn't hear everything, he could hear a lot.The content was quite strange to Li Rui, mainly because Zhong Min's voice was extremely low when he spoke, so Ah Chen naturally heard incomplete content, only Zhong Min and the Zhong family seemed to be trading something?And Zhong Min will see him as soon as he comes back, could it be that this transaction is still related to the palace?Little did he know that Zhong Min did it entirely to solve his hunger problem.

"My lord," as soon as he came in, he could smell the aroma of the food on the table. Zhong Min felt even hungrier. He glanced at the exquisite food on Li Rui's table and bowed.

"What's the matter of seeing me in such a hurry?" Li Rui asked, putting down the chopsticks in his hand.

"The concubine just wants to see if the prince's food is as exquisite and delicious as in the legend?" Zhong Min wanted to make up a reasonable reason at random, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a reason to sit down and eat, so he simply said directly. point.

"What?" Zhong Min's answer was completely beyond Li Rui's imagination. Coupled with Zhong Min's eyeballs falling into the food, Li Rui couldn't hold back, and the food in his mouth almost spewed out. Picking up the brocade handkerchief on the side and covering her mouth, it was only then that she remembered that Zhong Min came back at this point, probably because she just missed the meal time, no wonder...

"Now that you see it, let's go down." Knowing Zhong Min's real intention, Li Rui held a piece of braised pork in his hands and shook it deliberately in front of Zhong Min, and put it in his mouth when he saw him subconsciously swallowing. Here, chew well.It's just that what he said almost didn't push Zhong Min angrily.

"My lord," Zhong Min held back his hatred and lowered his head, "Naturally, a precious body like yours needs to be taken care of. The quality of this food directly affects the quality of your health. The prince is trying the dishes."

"Trying dishes?" Li Rui said, "Does Jiu Yiniang say that this dish is poisonous?"

"As the saying goes, disease enters through the mouth, so it's a good thing to be careful." Zhong Min continued to induce.

"No need, the cook in Ben Wang's family is trustworthy." Li Rui suppressed a smile, and coldly rejected Zhong Min's "kindness".

Zhong Min didn't expect him to talk about this, and the prince rejected him mercilessly. Didn't he say that these high-ranking people are most afraid of death?How come he doesn't work here!

Seeing the delicate face in front of him change rapidly, Li Rui's irritated mood for the past few days suddenly dissipated a lot, and Zhong Min was about to run away in front of him. .

"Agan, bring Jiu Yiniang a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

what? !

Zhong Min raised his head in surprise, because he was so shocked that he looked a little silly, "...My lord?"

"It's rare for someone to try dishes for me so enthusiastically. How can I let you down." Li Rui explained in a good mood.

At this time, A-gan's bowls and chopsticks were also brought over.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust." After Zhong Min thanked him, he sat down opposite Li Rui very consciously, picked up his chopsticks and started to move.No way, he seems to be becoming more and more like a foodie, and it is becoming easier and easier to forget his dignity in front of this person opposite him.

At the beginning, Zhong Min still remembered the so-called "tasting dishes", knowing that he would take a bite, and then pick up a bite for Li Rui, but he forgot after eating, and only remembered to fill his stomach, and of course he didn't forget to prepare some for Bingyan. Put on another plate.

Li Rui looked at Zhong Min's strange movements and didn't say a word. Originally, he didn't eat much every day. Now that he had almost eaten, he kept watching Zhong Min with great interest. The more he watched, the more interesting Zhong Min was. Unlike all the women he'd ever known, he was nothing like them.He never smoked cigarettes, didn't like to be pretentious, and didn't try to please him. He couldn't wait to climb into his bed. Apart from eating, he was probably interested in researching medicine.What a strange and interesting woman.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing that Zhong Min had almost eaten, Li Rui thoughtfully handed over a brocade handkerchief.

"Well, it's delicious!" Zhong Min gratefully took the Jinpa and wiped his mouth, while nodding his head honestly.

"Is it poisonous?" Li Rui glanced at the almost bottomless plate and asked again.

"Who dares to poison the prince's food, don't want to live!" Someone who had eaten enough had long forgotten the reason he made up for eating this meal.

"Really?" Li Rui suddenly smiled like an old fox, "Then who suspected that there was something wrong with the food just now?"

Zhong Min suddenly took a breath and coughed violently.Damn it, why did he forget that the prince is a vengeful man!

"Akun, quickly bring a glass of water to Jiu Yiniang." Seeing this, Li Rui was also startled, he didn't expect Zhong Min's reaction to be so strong.

After finally stopping the cough, Zhong Min took another big sip of water to suppress the shock.

"These..." Li Rui pointed to the plate of food that Zhong Min tossed for Bingyan, with suspicion in his eyes, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem," Zhong Min decided to tell the truth, in order to avoid having to make up for one lie with another ten lies, and the painful thing continue to spread. drop it.

"The concubine just wanted to have a meal with the prince, because it was not the time to come back, and the kitchen did not prepare food for the concubine, so... please forgive me, the prince! This plate is for the concubine's maid, Bingyan. Keep it." Zhong Min sincerely accused the crime, and at the end couldn't help but added in a low voice, "Anyway, the prince can't finish it by himself, and it would be a waste if he poured it out."

Li Rui couldn't help but laugh, especially when he heard Zhong Min's last words, he laughed even more happily. This Jiu Yiniang is indeed an interesting person.

"So, you did help the king?"

"The concubine dare not take the credit!" Zhong Min said without changing his face, "If the prince has something he can't eat in the future, he can ask the concubine to help."

I have never seen such a thick-skinned person!

Li Rui couldn't help but clicked twice, "You really don't know how to be polite!"

"My lord has enjoyed the meal, so why not enjoy a good cup of tea? The concubine is a bit...tired." Zhong Min pursed her lips. She ate too much just now, as if she was full. "Also, can the lord let the concubine's maid go down to have a meal too? Otherwise, it will be cold for a while, and it will easily spoil my stomach."

Faced with Zhong Min's aggressiveness, Li Rui felt that he should have been angry, but he didn't. Instead, he felt very comfortable. He waved his hand, and asked Bingyan, who was moved, to take the food that Zhong Min specially left for her to eat.Then he asked Ah Kun to make a cup of good fragrant tea for Zhong Min and bring it up.

"Play a game of chess with me."

Not for advice, but imperative.

"The concubine..." Zhong Min paused, "The concubine is not doing well, I'm afraid it will disturb the prince's sex."

He wanted to say that he couldn't. He was busy killing corpses in his previous life, and he was busy surviving in this life, so he didn't have the time or opportunity to learn these literary things.But as soon as he ate other people's food, he immediately spoiled other people's interest... If you can't cross the river, just tear down the bridge!Besides, before leaving the palace, he still had to hug this golden thigh tightly.

Zhong Min's hesitation naturally did not escape Li Rui's eyes, such a rare opportunity to get along with him is something no woman can ask for, why is there a trace of reluctance in her eyes?Li Rui's mood sank, could it be that this king still can't get her eyes?

"It's fine if you don't want to go down,"

"No..." Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Min knew that the narrow-minded prince was angry, and quickly apologized with a smile, "The prince also knows that the concubine is sick all day, and most of the day is lying on the bed. It is already very reluctant to be able to read a book, and it is rare to do such a mind-consuming thing as playing chess. The concubine did not..."

"It's the king who ignored it." Li Rui knew it in his heart, and also felt that he owed some consideration. Looking at Zhong Min, a touch of distress flashed in his eyes that he didn't even notice. Come on, it’s easy to accumulate food, and I have something else I want to ask you.”

Zhong Min was surprised to see that Li Rui didn't blame him, and when he heard Li Rui say that he was worried about overeating and invited him to play chess, his little heart was moved and started beating fast, and when he heard the last sentence, the blood that had just boiled instantly cooled down again down.

"My lord, please tell me. If the concubine knows everything, she will know everything." Zhong Min held the tea brought by A Kun, lowered his eyelids, and looked like a good baby.

"Don't be so restrained," Li Rui laughed, sat down, picked up the tea cover on the table and gently brushed the tea leaves on the water, "When did you have a sister?"

Faced with Li Rui's sudden questioning, although Zhong Min had expected that Ah Chen might report to Li Rui what he saw and heard when he returned home today, he was still stunned for a while when he asked him so abruptly. .

"My lord's words are ridiculous, a sister is a sister, how come when will you come?" Zhong Min laughed dryly.

"Really?" Li Rui glanced at Zhong Min, then used the tea cover to pull out the tea leaves in the tea bowl, and smiled unfathomably, "How did I hear that the Zhong family has no one with Zhong Yumei except for a woman who is waiting to be married?" What about women of similar age?"

Zhong Min's heart was still beating violently, and the hand holding the tea bowl tightened subconsciously, wishing to pull out Zhong Mu and Zhong Yumei's corpses!

"That, it's my cousin." Zhong Min didn't know how to make up this lie, he believed that the prince suddenly asked this question, and he should have found someone to investigate.This seemingly unproblematic answer hopes to get away with it.
