Chapter 273 So he went to keep an eye on his wife.
Zhai Rongyu: ...
"Ah Xu, stop fooling around."
"I'm busy with important matters!"
"What?" Jun Ce glanced at her with a cold look. "Rong'er, are you saying I'm not proper?"
Zhai Rongyu: ...
She thought of the scene yesterday when he trapped her in the bathtub, and suddenly lowered her head.
Don't you know whether you're being proper or not...?
Jun Ce's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
He stood across the table and bent down to get closer to Zhai Rongyu.
"What is Rong'er thinking about? Why is her face so red?"
He was so tall that the table seemed useless to him. The scorching heat sprayed right in front of him, and Zhai Rongyu lowered his head and moved back like a quail, almost falling off the chair.
Jun Ce put his arm around her shoulder.
"Be careful."
He steadied the girl, suppressed the smile in his eyes, reached out and rubbed her face before straightening up. "The Prince's mansion has prepared a meal, all of which are your favorite dishes."
"Want to come back with me for something to eat?"
The Moon Shadow Guard reported that she had been busy all day and hadn't had much to eat.
He was worried, so he dropped everything and rushed over. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw her having a good meal with his own eyes.
Zhai Rongyu looked up at him.
"How did Ah Xu know what I like to eat?"
Jun Ce walked around the table, squatted down in front of her to look her in the eye, and reached out to flick her nose.
"Your good maid is now giving orders in the Regent's small kitchen."
Zhai Rongyu peeked her head out from behind him.
No wonder I hadn't seen anyone.
So he was keeping an eye on his wife.
Jun Ce chuckled to himself.
Today, he and his servant, Zhiying, are of one mind.
He stood up, took her hand, and led her outside.
Those queuing at the entrance were all speechless with astonishment.
Although they did not know Jun Ce, they could see from his demeanor that he possessed a terrifying and sharp aura. For a moment, the scene was completely silent as they watched the two of them walk out of the room.
"Master! Don't go! We still have many questions!"
One of the bolder ones shouted something.
Jun Ce stopped and turned around. With just one glance, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and fell silent, not daring to breathe loudly.
Unexpectedly, Jun Ce spoke with a smile in his eyes.
"Your Taoist priest has been answering your questions all day; it's time he gave me some time too."
There seemed to be a hint of jealousy in her words.
After saying that, he pulled Zhai Rongyu away.
Everyone looked at each other.
"My king?"
"He calls himself 'this king,' and he's so intimate with Miss Zhai in public... Could he be... the Regent?!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
They were not surprised by Jun Ce's identity.
It turns out that even the regent, who was rumored to be as ruthless and merciless as a demon-faced demon, could be so humane.
They also spoke so many kind words to them.
Zhai Rongyu looked back and saw that the Taoist temple worshippers had knelt on the ground at some point, their heads bowed and not daring to look directly at their backs.
The entire Yunshan Mountain fell silent for a moment, with only birds chirping as they flew across the sky.
Jun Ce took her back to the Regent's Palace.
As soon as Zhai Rong entered the room, she was greeted by a delightful fragrance.
"smell good!"
She closed her eyes and shrugged.
"Steamed eggplant with sugar, roast duck... and chestnut cake!"
"Ah Xu!" The girl opened her eyes, her gaze bright and joyful. "These are all my favorite foods!"
She curved her lips into a smile, revealing dimples that resembled a spring breeze brushing against winter snow, evoking a sweet feeling inexplicably.
Jun Ce also raised the corners of his lips.
"And your favorite sang fruit."
She was the one who praised highly at the banquet in Haimu City last time.
"Nan Sang fruit? His Majesty sent people to take away the Nan Sang?"
Jun Ce nodded.
“Nansang lost its king, and the Wu family was also doomed. As soon as our army arrived, many cities surrendered on their own initiative, and the rest were dealt with without much effort.”
"Now, it is all Dragon Flame Land."
The first thing he did after recapturing Nansang was to order people to find this fruit and have it transported over at top speed, so it's ready to be served today.
Jun Ce smiled and said, "You are the greatest contributor to this matter. Have you thought about what reward you would like to ask the Emperor for?"
"Anything is fine?" Zhai Rongyu blinked.
Jun Ce smiled slightly, "Now, in my brother's eyes, you are no less than a national treasure. He will naturally grant any request you make."
Zhai Rongyu approached and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Then... can I apply to get married to you sooner?"
Jun Ce was taken aback.
He looked down at the girl in his arms.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her delicate face, gilding the fine hairs on her skin with a golden edge, making her look exceptionally beautiful and lovely.
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she looked at him coquettishly.
They seemed to be waiting for his answer.
Jun Ce's eyes were as dark as ink, filled with an intense and uncontrollable surge of emotion. His thin lips parted slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
"Rong'er is so eager to marry me?"
Zhai Rongyu lowered her head, burying it in his chest, her voice muffled.
Spring has arrived.
"Didn't you say we'd get married when you came back..."
"Don't you want to marry me anymore?"
She tilted her head back, her moist almond-shaped eyes looking somewhat aggrieved. Jun Ce's heart softened terribly, and he hugged her, leaning down to kiss her eyes.
"How could that be? I wish I could marry you right now."
"Then why..."
Zhai Rongyu suddenly realized something and released her hands from around his waist.
"Are you worried that the dragon clan will cause you trouble and that you won't be able to come back alive, so you're deliberately delaying the wedding?"
Jun Ce paused for a moment, then reached out and ruffled her hair.
"eat first."
"Let's eat first and then talk."
Zhai Rongyu turned her head away angrily, "I'm not hungry, just tell me now."
Gollum—
She pressed her stomach, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
[So disappointing at a crucial moment!]
She lightly punched it twice, but Jun Ce pressed her fists down, holding them tightly in his palms. "Why are you punching it for no reason? It's not the thing that made you angry."
"Rong'er, be good. Let's have a proper talk after you've eaten your fill."
"Ok."
Zhai Rong sighed and let Jun Ce pull her to the locust tree in Cangxin Pavilion.
"Why did you put the table outside?"
"The weather is fine today. With such delicious food and beautiful scenery, Rong'er will surely have a great appetite and eat a few more bowls."
Zhai Rongyu gave him a reproachful look.
She turned to look at the dishes on the table, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widening in surprise.
[A Manchu Han Imperial Feast?!]
"What day is it today? Why are there so many dishes?"
She turned her head, and Jun Ce took her hand and pulled her to a chair to sit down.
"The day Rong'er dined at the Prince's mansion for the first time."
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of Zhai Rongyu. "Eat."
Zhai Rongyu pursed her lips to suppress her smile, then turned to see Jun Ce looking at her with doting eyes, and unconsciously softened her attitude as well.
"Alright, at least you've put your heart into it."
I'll stop being angry with you for now.
She leaned her head against his shoulder, then straightened up, picked up her chopsticks and tapped the table, her eyes gleaming as she stared at the delicious food in front of her.
Relationships can be developed gradually, but food should be eaten while it's hot!
[My stomach, let me show you something new!]
