EBE Chapter 289: Yes, for you
Chapter 289: Yes, for you
When the Sixth Princess heard Yun Yuxi's urgent cry, she felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Her brain went blank in an instant and she looked like she was petrified, freezing in place, unable to move.
Endless regret and embarrassment surged in her heart. She felt that if there was a crack in the ground at this moment, she would want to crawl into it immediately and hide herself completely to avoid facing the embarrassing situation that might arise next.
She was anxiously thinking, did the person involved hear her reckless remarks? That was an important matter concerning her image and reputation! As a girl, she was always proud of her modesty and self-control, but now she made a fool of herself at this critical moment, which made her feel tormented.
What made her feel even more ashamed was that the person she loved was actually present. If he really heard what she had just said, how would he view and treat her in the future? She simply couldn't imagine the terrible consequences.
Jing Zichu stood there awkwardly, as if he was caught in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating. He had never expected to hear such words from a princess, and the huge contrast made him unable to react for a while.
However, for some reason, deep in his heart, he actually felt a vague sense of inexplicable excitement, and even he himself was a little surprised by the emergence of this emotion.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and push me over! Lingxi, you are becoming more and more unruly. Where have you learned the rules of the royal family? We heard everything you said just now clearly."
Yan Wuque pretended to reprimand the Sixth Princess harshly, but his eyes revealed a hint of cunning, actually hinting to the two parties involved that he knew everything that had just happened.
He did this on the one hand to maintain the dignity of the royal family, and on the other hand to cleverly defuse the awkward atmosphere of the moment so that everyone could gradually recover from this sudden storm.
The Sixth Princess blushed. She was a little afraid of her uncle, so she saluted carefully and politely, "Your Majesty, Lingxi knows I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and she lowered her head so low that she dared not raise it.
"You all go down. This princess wants to have barbecue today. Go and prepare. Zichu, you are back. You and the Sixth Princess can stay and have barbecue together today. Your Highness is really something. I think the Sixth Princess is a very genuine person." Yun Yuxi said with a wry smile.
"Well, after taking the money from that girl, I still have to do things. I have to bite the bullet today. Hahaha, who doesn't love the money in hand, right?" Yun Yuxi muttered to herself, calculating how to break this awkward situation.
Hearing Jing Zichu say that he wanted to eat barbecue, she showed a gentle smile on her face, nodded gently, and a hint of pampering flashed in her eyes: "Since you have been thinking about it for so long, then go and eat. I will let you eat to your heart's content today."
Jing Zichu was overjoyed when he saw his sister-in-law agree. He quickly led the way and took everyone towards the barbecue stall.
The barbecue stall was filled with smoke, and all kinds of ingredients were neatly arranged. The sister-in-law skillfully picked up a skewer of lamb, placed it on the charcoal fire, and flipped it, her movements skillful and elegant.
The Sixth Princess standing by was like a curious child, staring at the skewers without blinking, her saliva almost dripping out.
"Sixth Princess, don't just sit there, come and try the fun of grilling skewers by yourself." Yun Yuxi noticed that the Sixth Princess was a little embarrassed and hurriedly greeted her.
The Sixth Princess hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the grill, carefully picked up a bunch of chicken wings, and started grilling them like Yun Yuxi. Although her technique was a little awkward, her serious look was very cute.
At this moment, Yan Wuque took out the bouquet of roses like a magic trick, causing everyone to exclaim in amazement. He handed the bouquet to Yun Yuxi, his eyes full of expectation:
"Princess, this is something I prepared especially for you. I hope it will make you happy." Yun Yuxi took the bouquet and took a deep breath of the scent. The faint fragrance filled the air, as if it had infected the people around her.
She closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her face full of happiness, that look made the Sixth Princess beside her even more envious.
The Sixth Princess fantasized in her heart that if she married the handsome Jing Zichu, would he also send her flowers like the Emperor's uncle did.
The Sixth Princess' eyes, originally as clear as autumn water, now flashed with a trace of panic and shyness. She secretly glanced at Jing Zichu with eyes that seemed to hide endless expectations and uneasiness. The happy thoughts in her heart became stronger and stronger. She was sure that Jing Zichu would definitely give her flowers. After all, she had just witnessed Jing Zichu carefully picking flowers in the garden with such concentration. In her eyes, that look was like a beautiful painting.
At this time, the Sixth Princess was completely immersed in the fantasy world she had created, and had long forgotten the sizzling chicken wings in her hands that were emitting an alluring aroma. Suddenly, a pungent smell of burning came into her ears like a thunderclap, and she suddenly came to her senses. She looked at the chicken wings in her hands, which should have been golden and crispy, but now they had turned into black charcoal, which was simply horrible. An embarrassed blush suddenly appeared on her face, as delicate and beautiful as a ripe apple.
As for Jing Zichu, he didn't know what inexplicable purpose he had at the moment. Perhaps he just wanted to tease the usually cute and lovely Sixth Princess. He actually said fearlessly:
"Oh, Sixth Princess, your chicken wings have turned into charcoal. Look at the ones I roasted. They are so beautiful and must be delicious." When he said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
When the Sixth Princess heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She stared blankly at the scrapped chicken wing in her hand with mixed feelings.
After a moment, she seemed to have made a major decision. She threw the chicken wing aside fiercely, then walked over angrily and snatched the chicken wing from Jing Zichu's hand. As if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction on this chicken wing, she took a big bite with gritted teeth.
Yun Yuxi, who was standing by, couldn't hold back any longer when she saw this scene and burst into laughter. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, and echoed in the air for a long time.
Now, the awkward atmosphere no longer only surrounded the Sixth Princess, Jing Zichu was also caught off guard. He was filled with regret, thinking that his joke seemed to have gone a little too far, and he hurriedly pretended to be calm and continued to concentrate on grilling the chicken wings.
He tried to cover up his inner panic and anxiety, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed him, and at this moment he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Jing Zichu never thought that the Sixth Princess had such a strong desire for revenge. Whatever he roasted, the Sixth Princess would snatch it away. In the end, he was the only one doing the work while others reap the benefits.
"Oh. I'm fine. Why should I bother this princess? I can only smell the smell of the barbecue. I can't even take a bite. Oh! It's your own fault." Jing Zichu muttered in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy. Banxia, please get some hot water so I can take a shower and take a nap. Zichu, please send the Sixth Princess back. She's a girl, it's always unsafe."
The Sixth Princess looked at Yun Yuxi with gratitude. She knew that Yun Yuxi was creating an opportunity for her to get along with the Prince of Ningguo.
"That's right. I'm tired too. Come on, my beloved, I'll accompany you to rest. I'll leave Zichu to you." After saying that, Yun Yuxi pushed Yan Wuque away.
Jing Zichu looked at Yan Lingxi helplessly, "Princess, I haven't eaten yet. I'll send someone to take you back. I'll bake some food. You can leave quickly."
The Sixth Princess was furious. She had not expected Jing Zichu to be so unromantic. But Yun Yuxi said, if you like someone, just be bold. So the Sixth Princess mustered up her courage and walked over to Jing Zichu.
"Well, I left it for you. It's still hot. Please eat it. When you're full, send me back to the palace." The Sixth Princess stuffed the chicken wings that she had hidden for Jing Zichu into his hands, her face blushing.
Jing Zichu was a little surprised. He knew that he could not refuse to send the Sixth Princess away today.
So she ate with big mouthfuls, feeling that today's chicken wings were particularly delicious. The Sixth Princess supported her face with her hands, looking at Jing Zichu in fascination.
Jing Zichu was skilled in martial arts and had a strong sense of perception. When he noticed that the Sixth Princess was acting strange, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous!
