Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(38) Old Ginger is a Lot Spicier Than Young Ginger(1)

Because there was no need to go to court like this morning, eating lunch felt incomparably long. At least, in Chu Qing-Yan's eyes, it really was endless.

But, Chu Qing-Yan discovered that aristocratic nobility really ate with refined gracefulness. Just look at how Prince Ying ate, unhurriedly, with chopsticks in his right hand never touching the table the whole time and not producing a bit of sound. Unlike her, even just drinking soup, no matter how cautiously she drank it, a slight sound would be released. This made Chu Qing-Yan, who flaunted herself as a wise and virtuous lady, blush with shame.

At the same time, Chu Qing-Yan was a bit perplexed. She heard that this Prince Ying would always be outside battling all year round, protecting the border, how was it that he wasn't tainted by the brutishness and unruliness of the military?

"Is there a flower on this king's face?"

That one sentence abruptly interrupted Chu Qing-Yan's train of thoughts. Recollecting herself, her eyes once again met with Xiao Xu's pair of level, rippleless eyes. As if she was hit on target by an ice arrow, her five viscera and six bowels trembled with chills. Chu Qing-Yan hurriedly put on a smiling expression, "No. It's just that Chu Qing-Yan, seeing His Highness being so wise with god-like military skills, couldn't help but stare foolishly."

Bullshit! Disbelief was written in Xiao Xu's eyes.

Huang Yi, who stood at the side waiting to serve, heard this and restrained herself, not daring to laugh.

If these words were coming from the mouth of a jaded mature miss, then perhaps it was still somewhat trustworthy. A pity that His Highness Prince Ying still had a mask on, this kind of lie was self-evident.

Chu Qing-Yan realized it a step too late and couldn't help but spit out her tongue. She had just blurted it out all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Xiao Xu didn't snarl her on this topic for long, so Chu Qing-Yan thought that he didn't hear the mistake in her words. In fact, she didn't know that Xiao Xu thought that being serious with the little girl really lowered his elegance, thus, he let her get away with it.

After the meal, Chu Qing-Yan, with stifled misery, was ordered by Xiao Xu to come to the desk and grind ink like before.

Before this, there was already a servant dressed in light blue-colored clothing tidying up the desk. Seeing Xiao Xu bringing Chu Qing-Yan inside, she immediately made her salutations. Then, learning that Chu Qing-Yan was going to grind the ink, she immediately stepped forward to prepare the ink stones and ink sticks before withdrawing to the side.

Chu Qing-Yan caught a glimpse of that servant and her heart was slightly amazed. Such a quiet and gentle female covered with a faint scent of books. Maybe that appearance wasn't too outstanding, but just standing there motionless, it was already hard for people to ignore her.

Chu Qing-Yan once again threw a look of envy at Xiao Xu. This really was a whole room full of beauties, and it was all kinds of different types of females.

Xiao Xu ignored the peculiar look in her eyes, lifting his eyes to glance at her, "What are you doing over there, staring off blankly?"

Detecting his dissatisfaction, Chu Qing-Yan immediately ran up to obediently grind ink.

Ignoring her obedient appearance, Xiao Xu grabbed a book to read and carelessly flipped through it.

Chu Qing-Yan helplessly sighed in her heart. When will these kind of days come to an end?!

After this sequence was repeated for three days, Chu Qing-Yan felt that she really couldn't take it anymore. After another day of being woken up in the middle of night to accompany him to eat breakfast, Chu Qing-Yan decided to lay her cards on the table with him.
