Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 310: One Meal is Powerful



Chapter 310: One Meal is Powerful

I watched Chu Ci, her aunt and sister-in-law follow the waiter to the kitchen.

Upon seeing this, the prince's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly winked at Fan Jingrui, hoping that he could take action to stop it.

Unexpectedly, Fan Jingrui just calmly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, sir."

Reassured? How could he be assured? The situation was unclear, but these three weak women had no sense of danger at all!

Especially Chu Ci, does she really not know how heavy she is?

Or maybe he did this on purpose, relying on the important task of providing food and fodder for the soldiers on the frontier.

Thinking of this, the prince's face became even gloomier, as if water could drip out of it. "Can you promise?"

He stared at Fan Jingrui, his eyes full of questioning and anxiety.

Fan Jingrui did not rush to explain. He calmly picked up the teapot on the table and smelled it carefully to make sure there was no problem.

Then, he poured a cup of tea for the prince, and then slowly said, "Don't worry, sir."

Prince: If he remembered correctly, Fan Jingrui should not understand pharmacology, right?

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes became sharper and he stared at Fan Jingrui closely, as if he wanted to see through him. He just stood there waiting for Fan Jingrui to give him an answer that would convince him.

Seeing this, Fan Jingrui only smiled slightly and said slowly: "These little tricks were all taught by my wife. After all, the situation was a bit complicated at the beginning, but I didn't expect that they would come in handy now."

The prince heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Then the two Miss Fans will do the same?"

Fan Jingrui nodded solemnly and said seriously, "Sir, don't underestimate them just because they are girls. The tenth sister and the eleventh sister are both excellent in swordsmanship."

Fan Jingrui only mentioned that their sword skills were unique, but he didn't say what they were.

When the prince and others heard this, they naturally thought it was a sword technique in martial arts.

Thinking of this, the prince's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

Since I can't change the minds of Chu Ci and others, I might as well do what I can.

Thinking of this, the prince sighed, slowly picked up the bowl at hand, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat the vegetables on the table that did not look very delicate.

The prince took the lead in eating, and seeing this, the others felt too embarrassed to be pretentious.

Only Fan Jingrui showed hesitation, and tried to persuade him: "Sir, how about waiting a while?"

The prince knew that Fan Jingrui had good intentions.

But he was also clear about the current situation. How much could Chu Ci and the other two carry?

Besides, he was in such a situation now. So he shook his head and said firmly: "When you go out, there is no need to be so particular."

However, the prince's attitude was so firm at that moment, and he felt so regretful when he saw the food served by Chu Ci and the other two.

There was no other way. Although Chu Ci and the others were limited by the current conditions, they only made quick dishes.

But I have to say that it is really rich in ingredients and has good color, aroma and taste.

Not to mention that Lieutenant General Luo had just returned from the battlefield, even the prince couldn't help but tighten his throat, staring at the dishes, unable to move away.

It seemed as if the prince still cared about his own face and did not immediately express his inner surprise and desire.

Deputy General Na Luo was a very straightforward person. "How can a noble like you have such good craftsmanship?"

His eyes widened with disbelief, and his voice was filled with undisguised amazement.

After Deputy General Luo finished speaking, he immediately looked at Chu Ci nervously, his face flustered, and stammered: "Jun...Xiao, no Madam, I am not..."

"I'm just an old rough guy, dumb with words!"

"I...I'm praising you!"

"Don't get me wrong. I just didn't expect... I didn't expect that you, with such a distinguished status, would have such excellent craftsmanship. I... I really didn't mean to offend you."

Seeing this, Chu Ci smiled and nodded gently, saying softly: "I understand."

As she spoke, she placed the plate of fragrant garlic sprouts and bacon directly in front of Lieutenant General Luo.

His eyes were sincere and warm: "The conditions are simple, this little bit of bacon is just a small reward for those of us who have enjoyed the protection of the border soldiers!"

"You have fought bravely on the front lines, defending our country and going through countless hardships and dangers. These are the only small things we can do."

Chu Ci's words really touched Lieutenant General Luo's heart.

He stood up suddenly in excitement, his face flushed instantly, and he began to stutter: "Mrs. County... Madam, please don't blame me. I... I was too rash in my words and accidentally bumped into you. I'm really sorry."

Chu Ci smiled slightly, his expression calm, and replied: "I understand, this matter is of great importance. In such an urgent situation, it is not too much to be cautious. We are all trying to get things done properly, so there is no need to blame yourself."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, he saw that Lieutenant General Luo wanted to say something to explain.

Chu Ci waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "Guard Luo, let's talk a little longer. The food is about to get cold. We've all been waiting so long, so don't let this carefully prepared meal go to waste."

Lieutenant General Luo then suddenly realized his mistake. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He nodded hurriedly and slowly sat down as Chu Ci wished.

The prince did not expect that Chu Ci could make Lieutenant General Luo's attitude towards her change so much in such a short period of time.

The look he gave Chu Ci changed involuntarily, with an indescribable amount of admiration and respect in it.

Then, the prince glanced at Fan Jingrui beside him, cleared his throat, and raised his voice before saying, "Since Madam Chu said so, everyone should try it too, so as not to disappoint them."

"Yes!" The guards had already been attracted by the fragrant dishes on the table before them.

After they all agreed in unison, they immediately began to scramble for the food like hungry tigers, fearing that they would miss out if they were too slow.

Seeing the guards fighting over things in such an uncivilized manner, the prince felt embarrassed.

Unfortunately, the prince secretly signaled several times to let everyone restrain themselves, but the effect was minimal.

Helplessly, the prince could only turn a blind eye and simply turned his head away and stopped looking at them.

He even unconsciously increased the speed at which he picked up food.

The shopkeeper who was watching couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He was thinking silently in his heart: "Why not raise his hand and keep the two girls who can cook this time?"

Chu Ci had no idea that he almost lost his two sisters-in-law just because of this meal.

After eating and drinking, Chu Ci took Qianxue and Qianyan, randomly picked a guest room in the middle, and prepared to go to bed.
