Chapter200–SquabbleOveratballs(2)
Ye Zhen, who wished to empty the whole bowl into Mo Rongzhan’s mouth, with imnse grit, held herself back. Flashing a fake smile she said, “Your Majesty, these are all dicated als. I’m afraid they are not suitable for your appetite. Why not let Madam Nuan go to the Imperial Kitchen and bring food more suitable to you?”
“I have never been picky about food.” Mo Rongzhan said flatly and stuffed a atball into his mouth, thwarting all ans of retorts.
Whynotchokehimtodeath!
Mo Rongzhan had little expectation about the dicated diet Ye Zhen made. However, he was really shocked by the crisp and fresh atballs he savored. It was truly delicious and did not even carry a hint of dicinal taste.
“Brother, try Yaoyao’s porridge,” Mo Rongyi said, ordering Madam Nuan to give Mo Rongzhan a bowl of porridge.
Ye Zhen glared at the sight of Mo Rongyi, simply giving out her special cuisines to Mo Rongzhan.
All along, the said man had been observing her expressions. Seeing her reluctance, he broke into an indiscernible smile. Then, thinking as to how these dicated dishes were ant only for his brother, he felt a faint tug in his heart... AmInotasgoodasYi?
“Bring the plate of dried at.”
Ye Zhen was reaching the limits of her patience now. Gritting her teeth and said, “Your Majesty, these are for the Little Prince.” Ifthiswenton,howwouldtheprincebecured!
Mo Rongzhan just looked at her with dark eyes. A magnificent face without a trace of anger made one feel more repressed, and right now was no exception.
“Yaoyao, hurry. You can make more later.” Mo Rongzhan did not back down.
Compelled by the emperor’s command, she brought out the dish, all the while cursing in her heart. This...thisfellow...Whatahooligan!Argh!Wishhesuffersastomachacheuponeating...Hasheneverseenfood?Willnotevensparehislittlebrother’sfood...
However, in her disappointnt, she forgot that her dried at was filled with the miraculous liquid. How could it make people suffer a stomach ache? If anything, this ‘imperial hooligan’ would be stronger.
Ye Zhen felt that Mo Rongzhan’s whole persona was up to no good, he was brazenly shaless, domineering, and had zero consideration for anyone! To think she was once in love with such a man... she loathed him even more.
“Yi, don’t you feel any pain?” Mo Rongzhan saw that his younger brother had eaten a lot of food and worried that he would suffer from pain for a while.
“It doesn’t hurt. I feel very comfortable.”
When Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen, his eyes held a profound aning. “Did you make all of this by yourself?” Ever the skeptic emperor was sure to voice his doubts.
Ye Zhen nodded blankly.
“Then, you may stay in the palace as a physician, making dicated als for the Little Prince every day.”
He felt that she would be delighted with his grace. After all, who would not want to escape the arduous journey one would have to take through the dical Academy to beco a physician! He had given her a smooth and easy out, not to ntion the prestige that would bring her and her family.
“Your Majesty, if the condition of the Little Prince improves by tomorrow, he only needs to take the dicated als for two more days. And, this official’s daughter shall return to school,” Ye Zhen said with a straight face.
Isthisaveiledrefusal? Mo Rongzhan looked at her, confusion written across his face. This girl was simply beyond his understanding. He could not believe she had turned down his offer in a roundabout manner. Turned down... why?
“You entered the dical Academy, is it not because you wanted to beco an Imperial Physician?”
Contrary to how he perceived her, Ye Zhen was not soone who could be swayed by a re display of sovereignty. He may be the emperor, and she is just a young girl, but her self-esteem would not fall short.
“Yes.” Ye Zhen nodded. “That’s different from being a physician now.”
She did not want to enter the palace without justification, least of all as a benefaction from the man she imnsely loathed. There was once a ti when she would have cut her heart out for him without a word, but now, she was unresigned to accept his reward even for the sake of keeping appearances.
Most of all, she did not care about giving face to the man who trampled her heart over and over, even if he was the supre power. Also, if she were to enter the palace now, no matter how hard she tried, she would still be acknowledged as the Residing Imperial Physician, but in reality, it was just a glorified na for—a trivial dical woman.
Mo Rongzhan snorted.Didshereallyagreetocohereoutofgoodintentionsalone?Doesn’tshewantsothinginreturn?Irefusetobelieveit!
Ye Zhen looked at him with limpid eyes. She had co here out of concern for the sick prince. But, yes, she indeed wanted to get sothing out of this... to pave the way for her original plans.
Nonetheless, when the emperor presented such an offer, in such a crude manner, she could not help but refuse. The reason was plain and simple—she did not want to enter the palace because of his grace.
