Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 17

Jiang Ling felt that the eldest princess seemed to have misunderstood something, and she couldn't understand what she said, so she said blankly, "Why do you want His Highness to be hungry?"

One of her hobbies is food, Jiang Ling frowned. Could it be that Donggong is too poor to eat?How uncomfortable it is to not have enough to eat.

Fearing that the eldest princess would say something shocking to the world, Xiao Shengyun put his arms around Jiang Ling's waist: "The flower viewing feast is about to begin, let's go in first."

"Okay, I won't make fun of you," said the eldest princess, who has no penchant for embarrassing others. She thought it was the two young men who were thin-skinned, and followed the prince's intentions to change the subject. Xiaoling will taste more to see if it tastes good and if there is any room for improvement."

As soon as she heard that there was food, Jiang Ling immediately forgot what she couldn't figure out, nodded her head vigorously, and secretly wondered if she could take some back with her when she left, in case the East Palace was really poor, it would be an emergency.

A group of people came to the front yard where the banquet was held.

This is a courtyard located in the northern suburbs of the capital city. It occupies a large area and imitates the Jiangnan style.The eldest princess was the favorite daughter of the first emperor when he was in power, and this courtyard was specially built as a gift for her.

There is a natural river in the yard, and the guests gather by the river, and the winding water is flowing, so elegant.

Seeing the prince, everyone stood up and saluted.

Jiang Ling and the crown prince stepped up to the throne, causing many people to stare at them along the way.

The servants had already prepared delicious food and fine wine. Plates of exquisite pastries were placed on the small wooden table, and a small bottle of wine was placed beside it for people to drink.

After taking her seat, Jiang Ling's attention was all attracted by the snacks on the small wooden table, and she turned a blind eye to the half-seeing eyes below.

The pink peach blossom cake, with the unique aroma of peach blossoms, was sweet in the mouth, Jiang Ling ate several pieces in a row, seeing that the crown prince refused to eat, she picked up a piece and handed it to the man's mouth: "Your Highness, try it, this is delicious. "

Whether it is the prince or princess or the children of the aristocratic family, since the two of them came in, they have been paying attention to them silently. Naturally, Jiang Ling's behavior of feeding the prince with cakes was also noticed by them.

He didn't show it on the surface, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, would His Royal Highness accept the concubine's feeding?

Xiao Shengyun looked down at the pink pastry that was being fed to his mouth, and slowly, his eyes shifted from the pastry to the hand holding the pastry.

The young man's fingers were slender, his skin was fair and delicate, his fingertips were slightly pink, and he was more attractive than pastries in the sun.

"Your Highness?" You will get tired if you hold your hand for a long time, seeing the prince staring at the pastry in his hand without moving, Jiang Ling couldn't help urging.

As if awakened with a start, Xiao Shengyun opened his mouth and bit off the peach blossom cake in Jiang Ling's hand, seemingly inadvertently, the tip of his teeth lightly hit the finger holding the peach blossom cake.

Jiang Ling didn't care, she withdrew her hand after feeding, took a piece of pastry of another color and fed it into her mouth.

Xiao Chengyun's eyes darkened as he watched the hand that had been touched by his own lips gently rub against the young man's lips.

After eating a few pieces of snacks, Jiang Ling felt a little thirsty. Seeing the delicate wine jug on the wooden table, she poured herself a glass.

He brought it to his nose and sniffed it. It smelled very good. The light floral fragrance was mixed with a strong smell of alcohol. It was a taste Jiang Ling had never tasted before.

Unprepared, she took a big sip, and Jiang Ling almost vomited it out, it was so spicy.

Swallowing the wine in her mouth with difficulty, Jiang Ling's eyes turned red.

Xiao Shengyun hurriedly asked someone to fetch warm water, Jiang Ling took the cup and drank it in a few sips, barely suppressing the spicy taste in his mouth.

"What is this?" Jiang Ling pushed the jug far away in fear, "Why is it so spicy?"

"It's peach blossom wine." Xiao Shengyun picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the teardrops overflowing from the corners of Jiang Ling's eyes, "Aren't you used to it?"

Jiang Ling shook her head violently, it was too bad to drink, he would not drink it anymore.

Picking up the wine glass that Jiang Ling pushed to the edge of the wooden table, Xiao Shengyun took a sip.

"Is it bad to drink?" Jiang Ling stared at him nervously, afraid that he would also vomit it out.

After drinking the whole glass of wine, the Prince's face remained normal. Jiang Ling couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his sense of taste?Only you drink spicy?

Looking at the others, there was a smile on their faces, without a trace of reluctance.

That's right, such a good smell shouldn't be unpalatable, there must be something wrong, Jiang Ling picked up the wine glass, intending to try again.

When it was about to be delivered to the mouth, the hand was held down.

Jiang Ling looked around puzzled.

"If you don't like it, don't drink it." Xiao Shengyun broke Jiang Ling's fingers one by one, and put the jug back to its original place.

"But you can drink it..." I couldn't drink it for no reason, "Besides, it smells good, but it's too spicy. Doesn't Your Highness think it's spicy?"

Jiang Ling's face was flushed because of drinking strong wine, and the corners of her eyes were blush, which made her look a little brighter.

When asking questions, Jiang Ling approached the man unconsciously, the smell of wine in his breath was more intoxicating than strong wine, if it wasn't for Jiang Ling's clear eyes, Xiao Shengyun would have doubted whether Jiang Ling was drunk.

"I still want to drink." Jiang Ling rubbed on the man's shoulder, "I want to drink something that is not spicy."

"Okay, I'll give you something that's not spicy." Xiao Shengyun couldn't refuse Jiang Ling like this.

The wine was good wine, but it was too strong, no wonder Jiang Ling couldn't accept it, Xiao Shengyun beckoned, and the servants who were waiting on the side quickly stepped forward.

"Are there any suitable for non-drinkers?"

"What's the matter?" The eldest princess was talking with a lady, and noticed the movement here.

"Ling'er can't drink strong alcohol."

"Looking at Bengong, I almost forgot about this one. Just in time, I can give Xiaoling a taste of the fruit wine that just came out this year."

Jiang Ling lay on Xiao Chengyun's shoulders, watching the two talking, she felt a little dizzy afterwards, remembering that she had taken medicine for dizziness a few days ago, she silently decided not to tell the prince, lest she have to drink the bitter and unpalatable medicine .

The fruit wine was served, and under Jiang Ling's expectant eyes, Xiao Shengyun poured a small half cup and fed it to Jiang Ling's mouth: "Take a sip, stop if you don't feel comfortable."

Learning the lesson from last time, this time Jiang Ling only drank a small sip, and prepared to be spicy.

!!!

After swallowing it in one gulp, Jiang Ling's eyes brightened: "It's delicious!"

The sweet and fruity flavor overwhelms the wine's spiciness, making it soft and mild in the mouth, which is most suitable for people like Jiang Ling who don't know how to drink.

The interaction between the two was clearly seen by those who participated in the flower viewing banquet. They were so surprised that they had nowhere to confide, and they discussed in low voices with the people around them under the cover of the sound of running water.

"The rumors are indeed true. Your Highness treats the Crown Princess with extraordinary affection."

"It's not just pampering, it's all about pampering people to heaven. You haven't attended a banquet before. I don't know. Three years ago, there was a daughter from a family who wanted to get close to the prince by getting drunk, but the prince threw him out without mercy. She didn't show any pity at all."

"It was rumored before that the crown prince's petting the princess is for show. Today I have seen it. If this is for show, all the loving couples in the world can be regarded as show."

"Is this how the prince and princess get along in private? It subverts my cognition. I always feel that there is no one in the world who is more incomprehensible than the prince. It turns out that the person I met was wrong."

"His Royal Highness in front of the Crown Princess doesn't look scary at all."

"It's just in front of the princess."

This is true, in the middle of the banquet, some thoughtful people made an excuse to run into the prince by chance, the prince didn't even look at it, he covered the eyes of the princess and left.

"Who was that just now?" There was darkness in sight, Jiang Ling was held in the arms of a man, and she stumbled forward.

He drank a little too much, and was taken out by the prince to sober up in a daze.

"Irrelevant people, aren't you curious about how the fruit wine was made just now, so I will take you to see the fruit trees."

"Okay." Jiang Ling's attention shifted immediately.

The matter here quickly spread to the ears of the eldest princess. The eldest princess put down her wine glass and said coldly: "Invite people out, this palace is not for some people to make ladders to the sky, and I will send invitations later. There is no need to send it."

"Yes."

Jiang Ling and Xiao Chengyun looked at the fruit trees for a while, but couldn't resist the dizziness, so they lay on Xiao Chengyun's shoulders and fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up, the sky was getting dark, the maid heard the movement, and brought sober soup.

"What is this?" Jiang Ling stared at the bowl in the maid's hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's hangover soup, His Highness specially ordered it to be warmed for you."

"Not bitter?"

"It's not bitter."

Picking up the bowl, Jiang Ling took a small sip first, making sure it was different from the bitter medicine, and then finished it in a big gulp.

"Where's Your Highness?" Looking around the room, Jiang Ling didn't see anyone familiar, so she asked casually.

"The slave does not know."

Jiang Ling didn't expect her to know. She touched her forehead and felt that the room was a little stuffy. She put on her outer shirt and got out of bed: "I'll go for a walk."

Opening the door, a cool breeze blew in, and Jiang Ling's dryness disappeared a lot.

It was very quiet outside the house. Jiang Ling, led by the maid, walked through a small path to the front yard where the banquet was held, as if walking into the world of fireworks from a quiet holy place of cultivation.

The maid silently followed Jiang Ling, only leading the way once or twice when Jiang Ling asked for directions, and remained silent at other times, and would not stop Jiang Ling wherever she went, obviously under orders.

Jiang Ling walked and watched, and gradually sobered up from the state of drunkenness.

"The princess stays."

The sound of approaching footsteps came from behind, Jiang Ling stopped and turned her head.

A man in a dark blue brocade robe stood not far from him, followed by a handsome young man in white.

"You are?"

"Chen Qu Yingzhuo, this is my younger brother Qu Huai. My younger brother admired His Highness the Crown Prince since childhood, and hoped that the Crown Princess could introduce him or her." The man in the dark blue robe cupped his hands.

"Ah?" Jiang Ling didn't understand, she just wanted to see the prince, why did she have to introduce herself.

The Qu family wanted to climb the big tree of the crown prince early in the morning, and they had thought about sending their daughter to the East Palace before. Later, seeing that the crown prince loved the crown princess tightly, they changed the plan and pushed the youngest son out. The success is inexhaustible The glory and wealth of the people will not lose anything if they fail.

Therefore, ever since Jiang Ling and the crown prince came to the flower feast, Qu Yingzhuo had his eyes on the two of them.

"Princess, don't worry, this younger brother is not a scrambler. When he enters the East Palace, this younger brother will live in peace and do his best to serve you and His Highness. I just ask you to promise that I will give my younger brother a small remote courtyard."

Qu Yingzhuo had a good plan, as long as Qu Huai entered the East Palace and was favored by the crown prince, the crown prince would have nothing to say about the future.

Jiang Ling reasoned, came to a conclusion, and suddenly realized: "You mean, you want to send your brother to the East Palace to be on duty?"

"This..." Qu Yingzhuo was speechless, wondering if the Crown Princess knew their plan and said so on purpose.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Ling wondered, "I'm afraid it won't work, the East Palace can't afford to feed one more person."

He still remembered what the eldest princess said, the prince can't get enough to eat, and if there is another person, wouldn't the food shortage be even worse?

That would not work, Jiang Ling didn't want the crown prince to starve even more than Qu Huai, whom he had never met before.
