Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 026. probing

There was no need for Prince to maintain an outer room. If Prince was willing, he only needed to take a few concubines with him in the Duke Palace.

Liu Ruo Qing snorted coldly, she did not believe the butler's words at all, especially the butler's trembling body, which made Liu Ruo Qing feel that he was clearly feeling guilty for Yan Yuan's sake.

"This …"

The steward was somewhat innocent as he hurriedly explained, "To reply wangfei, Prince has gone to Tenth Princess."

"Tenth Princess?"

This form of address was extremely unfamiliar to Liu Ruo Qing.

Ye Xiao looked at the steward's terrified expression and fell into deep thoughts.

Tenth Princess...

She had been married for a month and she hadn't heard that Easternum had a Tenth Princess.

Moreover, when they went to Empress Mother's place for their "dinner" today, they had not seen the so-called Tenth Princess.

It must be that smelly old man, the butler, lying on Yan Yuan's behalf.

Liu Ruo Qing's gaze was filled with suspicion, sweeping across the butler's face.

"Yes, yes, Royal Consort, someone from Princess Palace just arrived. Princess has an urgent matter to discuss with you."

The butler replied sincerely, but Liu Ruo Qing did not even plan to believe a single punctuation mark.

Even though she didn't live in ancient times, she knew the principle of respecting the people in this feudal society.

That brat, Yan Yuan, was going to let him go even to the Kaiser s. How could a mere Tenth Princess send a person over here, make him rush to the Princess Palace without delay?

This Tenth Princess sure has a big face.

Liu Ruo Qing glanced at the butler unhappily, and her mouth hooked into a sneer.

The butler was so old and muddle-headed, he couldn't find a suitable excuse for Yan Yuan.

Looking at how Yan Yuan was just now, riding his horse like it was a rocket, with a whoosh, he disappeared. If it wasn't for him, what could he have done, why would he be in such a hurry?

Liu Ruo Qing was clear in her heart. Since this King Jing Palace was filled with Yan Yuan's people, they naturally would not sell him out. Even if she forced him to give his confession, she would not be able to get anything out of him.

Besides, she was such a gentle person, how could she do such an indecent thing?

Furthermore, she had thought about it, the Empress Mother had said that the heartlock was something the First Empress Mother had left for Yan Yuan's wife.

When he thought about this level, Liu Ruo Qing felt much more at ease. He did not question the Housekeeper Xu anymore and stepped into the Duke Palace.

When Yan Yuan returned to the King Jing Palace, it was already time to use the Evening meal.

When Liu Ruo Qing arrived at the side hall used for food, she saw that Yan Yuan was sitting at the dining table.

When Yan Yuan saw her, he only raised his eyebrows for a moment. After his gaze calmly swept over her face, he did not plan to greet her.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't mind, after giving him a big supercilious look, she sat down opposite him, picked up the chopsticks in front of him and started to eat.

All the servants around were startled, looking at Liu Ruo Qing with an expression of surprise.

It had to be known that although the Royal Concubine was the mistress of the King Jing Palace, there was still the Prince above. Even if it was a husband and wife, there was still a difference in status.

Furthermore... Prince hadn't even touched her chopsticks yet, Princess Wangfei, she … How could she move her chopsticks first?

Everyone was stunned, this Princess from the xieqing was really too unruly.

Even so, the Prince did not say anything, who would dare to criticize him?

How would Liu Ruo Qing know about these messy rules? Her taste buds had already been subdued by the culinary arts of the Duke Palace's chef.

If one were to say that these ancients would enjoy it, their culinary skills were at least a hundred times better than the culinary skills of the chefs she had eaten.

Everyone saw that she was eating with relish and had no intention of stopping. They all sighed in their hearts.

Until Liu Ruo Qing sensed that the atmosphere was strange, that strange atmosphere made her feel uncomfortable.

Very quickly, under their "contemptuous" gazes, Liu Ruo Qing understood what they were talking about.

Her gaze carefully turned towards Yan Yuan. She saw that his expression did not change, but other than her day of usual indifference, he really did not have any other expression.

Withdrawing her gaze from Yan Yuan's face, she put down her chopsticks, looked at the servants, and asked: What's wrong? The way you look at me is a little strange. "

Who would have thought that she would ask such a direct question? The servants who were staring at her immediately became uneasy. All of them looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how to reply.

The way he looked like someone had caught him red-handed, it was quite funny.

Liu Ruo Qing did not plan to make things difficult for them, so she waved her hand: "You guys can leave, there is no need to wait on me here."

"Yes, Princess."

As if they had been pardoned, everyone let out a long sigh, hung their heads, and quietly retreated.

At this time, in the entire dining hall, there were only Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan. The atmosphere was so quiet that even the sound of needles hitting the ground could be heard.

Liu Ruo Qing glanced at Yan Yuan, and all of her thoughts, were placed on that heartlock.

Even though she had given herself a pill of reassurance during the day and thought about such a precious thing, she didn't think that she would be able to give a second milk without a name or a share.

The more Liu Ruo Qing thought about it this way, the more nervous she became.

She didn't have the mood to pick up a mouthful of food and put it in her mouth. Following that, she carefully moved closer to Yan Yuan and asked in a casual tone, "Do a lot of girls like your family's chef?"

Yan Yuan stopped eating for a while, not understanding why she would suddenly ask this. Seeing her starry eyes, Yan Yuan's pitch-black pupils were extremely bright as he stared at him without blinking.

"Why do you ask?"

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing take another bite of the dish and put it in her mouth, while eating, she put her feet in a comfortable position on the dining chair. That random look caused Yan Yuan to have some doubts about the identity of the xieqing in front of him.

"Haven't you heard that to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first? This is also very enjoyable for women. "

Liu Ruo Qing said vaguely as food was in her mouth.

It was a completely different form of food from the usual elegant ones. For some reason, Yan Yuan felt that these dishes that he was already used to eating had added a bit to the taste.

"Your chef's cooking skills are really amazing. I'm guessing that after a few more meals, my heart will be taken away by your chef."
