Chapter199–SquabbleOveratballs(1)
At this mont, Ye Zhen was in the small kitchen preparing the Little Prince’s dicated als. Her little experint with the porridge had laid to rest her initial concern regarding the adverse effects of the miraculous liquid on an ailing body. Now that it was proven to be helpful, she could breathe easy. Thus, here she was, making various types of food like she would a normal person.
A jujube cake, a small pot of porridge, a cup of stew, and so snacks to satiate the Little Prince whenever he was hungry between als all ca from her delicate hands. All of these contained the miraculous liquid. She had only two days in the palace, and she wanted him to have the potion as much as possible. Hence, no matter what she cooked, it would contain a few drops.
However, when she stepped inside the chambers holding a food box*, she stilled. She did not expect Mo Rongzhan to revisit the prince’s residence!
[This is how a traditional Chinese foodbox looks like... so pretty!]
“Slls good!” Mo Rongyi’s eyes brightened and glistened at the sight of the food box.
Ye Zhen composed herself and curtsied. “This official’s daughter greets His Majesty and the Little Prince”
All along, Mo Rongzhan cast a peculiar gaze on the jade-like face before him, his thin lips pursed. He said in a cold voice, “Rise.”
“Yaoyao, what have you prepared?” Mo Rongyi did not wait for her reply and took the initiative to take over the food box.
“It’s still the dicated porridge. You are just getting better now. Do you think you could eat a generous amount of fish and at?” Ye Zhen replied in jest.
“dicated porridge will do,” Mo Rongyi said grudgingly. He had been eating porridge and vegetarian dishes for several days now, his sense of taste turned insipid.
“I made you a jujube cake and these small snacks from fresh, dried at, fish congee, and stew. I know you haven’t eaten at for a long ti, and I made you four atballs.” Ye Zhen couldn’t help laughing at his gluttonous appearance.
Mo Rongyi’s young face showed a silly smile. If he had not known how to restrain himself, the watery liquid from his mouth would have dripped down.
“Can he eat at already?” Mo Rongzhan asked curtly. He was displeased with the way she was treating him, only focused on his brother like he did not exist.
Ye Zhen was irked. Didhethinkshewasdense? She wanted to say, even so, she bowed her head. “Replying to the emperor, I have chopped the at finely, so it is not difficult to digest.”
When Mo Rongzhan looked at her face, her sullen mood was even more apparent. He could not discern what was going on in her mind.
“I’ll try.” Mo Rongyi had not eaten at for a long ti. The food that was allowed was bland, in other words, tasteless. Thus, he imdiately poked a ball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Ye Zhen looked at him and smiled.
Mo Rongzhan did not look at his brother. He was staring at Ye Zhen the whole ti. Seeing that she had a kind of gentle smile on her face, his eyes turned grim.
“Uh!” Mo Rongyi suddenly turned red and thumped his chest.
“Why, does it hurt again?” Mo Rongzhan asked hurriedly. He quickly stood up and barked at Ye Zhen coldly, “Did you not say it was okay?”
Ye Zhen ignored the jumpy emperor and calmly walked towards Mo Rongyi, patted him hard on the back, and half of the atball ca out of his mouth.
“Oh, I almost choked!” Mo Rongyi patted his chest and gasped heavily for air.
“Your Highness, can you eat more slowly?” Really!Almostscaredtodeath.
Mo Rongyi coughed a few tis. “I’m fine. I have not eaten at for a long ti.”
Ye Zhen replaced the atball with another one. “Slowly, Little Prince.” She reminded him.
Seeing that his younger brother was okay, Mo Rongzhan was relieved. He turned around to look at the still calm and quiet Ye Zhen. He was taken aback, it was as if his previous admonition was nothing but a drifting vapor.
Isshenotafraidofatall?Or...issheonlynonchalanttomydislikeofher?
Thinking of the possibility of the latter, his face expression worsened.
“Brother, have you not eaten yet? Why don’t we eat together? ” Mo Rongyi noticed that Ye Zhen had prepared a lot of food. With this amount, it would take him forever to finish eating.
Ye Zhen’s eyes, calm as water, finally revealed so waves. She gnashed her teeth and almost cried out that she had spent so much ti and ticulous care in making the dicated cuisine for the Little Prince, not for Mo Rongzhan!
IfMoRongzhaningeststhedicinaldietwithmiraculousliquid,woulditnotmakehimstronger?Thisissimplytooaggravating!
Mo Rongzhan originally wanted to refuse, but when his eyes caught the subtle emotional changes in those ever placid eyes, he nodded lightly. “Madam Nuan, prepare bowls and chopsticks, I will be eating with the Little Prince.”
