With that, he deliberately puffed up his chest.
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened, almost popping out. Did Xia Zheng really do that sleazy move just now? Oh my, that was truly sleazy!
Tightly covering her eyes, Lin Yuan pushed him aside with a face full of disdain, unable to suppress her laughter in her disdainful tone: "A male tiger in heat is the most dangerous; I better keep away from you!"
"But once a male tiger is out of heat, he’s just like a ta little kitty. Are you sure you want to stay away from ?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Even if you are sure, it’s not possible. This master is currently in heat and has already lost all reason! Ah, check out my claws!"
The two chatted and laughed, their carefree laughter echoing throughout the originally quiet palace path. Even if so cast side-glances or expressed displeasure, once they realized it was Xia Zheng, everyone wisely shut their mouths.
In the entire capital city, and even the entirety of Dayong, it’s better to offend a prince than the Little Tyrant!
Otherwise, you’re just waiting to be dealt with by this unruly Little Tyrant!
As the two walked toward the palace gate, they saw a familiar face waiting from afar, seeming to have waited for a long ti.
Lin Yuan obediently placed her hand in Xia Zheng’s palm, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Why is he there?"
Xia Zheng naturally saw Lu Chong waiting at the palace gate, but all his attention was focused on Lin Yuan’s soft, tender hand, having no ti to care about others or other matters.
"Didn’t you promise to give the recipes for those two dishes to the imperial kitchen? Naturally, he’s here to ask for the recipes!"
Lu Chong is number one in the imperial kitchen. Although not the manager, as a pillar of the imperial kitchen, naturally he is very concerned about this matter.
However, that peculiar feeling in Lin Yuan’s heart surged again.
She had found it strange when Lu Chong suddenly requested the recipes during the palace banquet before, and seeing him waiting here made it even stranger.
It is currently the festive season, and these recipes aren’t particularly important; do they really have to be asked for at this ti?
Suppressing the odd feeling in her heart, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng proceeded as if nothing happened, noticing Lu Chong tidying his collar sowhat urgently and stepping forward quickly.
"Commandery Prince, Commandery Princess."
Seeing Lu Chong salute respectfully, Lin Yuan found it even more strange. They’ve t several tis before, but he has never saluted so formally!
This guy, was he defeated by her today and that’s why he’s out of sorts?
Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow, secretly tugged Lin Yuan’s sleeve, and whispered to her: "Be careful, this guy might be here to ask you to be his ntor!"
ntor?
Lin Yuan’s little face imdiately scrunched into a bitter lon expression; dealing with Cheng Haoxuan was enough, and now there’s Lu Chong!
No wonder they could beco ntor and apprentice, they both like going around seeking ntors!
Lu Chong naturally didn’t know what the two were saying, but seeing Lin Yuan’s expression, he could probably deduce sothing, so he chuckled: "Princess, you’ve misunderstood. I am not here to ask you to take Cheng Haoxuan as an apprentice."
Cough, cough, cough.
Xia Zheng coughed awkwardly, turning his head to admire the empty palace walls.
Lin Yuan also laughed awkwardly, quickly saying: "I know, you’re here for the recipes of Beijing sauce shredded pork and fish-flavored shredded pork, right? Please don’t worry, Mr. Lu. Once I’ve organized them, I’ll have soone send them to your residence."
Since he wasn’t here to seek ntorship or ask on behalf of Cheng Haoxuan, it had to be for the recipes.
Though Lin Yuan still felt deep down that things wouldn’t be that simple.
Sure enough, things weren’t simple.
Lu Chong’s face showed awkwardness, a sowhat embarrassed smile, shifting uneasily: "Actually, actually it’s not for the recipes I ca to ask. But, but truly have a request."
Oh?
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, her clear eyes fixed intently on him, signaling for him to continue.
Lu Chong pursed his lips, beginning: "Actually, what I would like to ask is if the Commandery Princess could sell that string of pearls you won in the competition. I know this request is sowhat excessive, but, well, no matter how much Silver you ask for, I am willing to pay."
Lu Chong’s expression was sincere, speaking in rushed nervousness.
But Lin Yuan understood; he truly wanted that string of pearls.
