The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady
CHAPTER 31 Eating together

OuYang ShaoChen quickly caught the pillow and placed it on the side. He glanced at Murong Xue and immediately left the room. 

He followed her gaze and realized that he was looking at her chest. Granted, he was still a little immature but he was only 14 years old and had plenty of room for improvement! 

Just like the body he had in modern times, after he was 17 or 18 years old, people admired him for that! 

He folded the blanket and got out of bed. Behind the folding screen, she then put on her underwear, dressed in a robe and prepared herself to look presentable. Only then did he emerge from the room.

Outside the room, there was an oak table in the middle where dishes, pastries, spring rolls and porridge were placed. The smell of tempting food was enough to make anyone drool. 

OuYang ShaoChen stood by the sink washing his hands. The crystal-clear hot spring passed through his hands, uncontaminated. Seeing that Murong Xue appeared, he took out a wet cloth and wiped the water droplets from his hands. 

"It's late, let's eat," he said flatly. 

Murong Xue frowned. Originally, sleeping together in bed and now, eating together at the same table? This sounds more like a husband and wife thing to do .................. wait, why does she think like that?

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, but I'm not starving at this time and return to Zhen village palace to feast, it won't be too late as well," 

A hand stretched out and gripped his shoulder; it was as if his fingers were made of jade itself. OuYang ShaoChen then pointed it at the oak table. 

“Yesterday, you are suffering from Cold poison and are churning and spinning all day long. For 7 or 8 hours, you eat nothing and even if you are not hungry, you should at least eat a little. Or your body will become weaker! ” 

MuRong Xue's beautiful eyes were sparkling and narrowed. Secretly, he tried to escape from his inhibitions.

However, with just a slight touch of OuYang ShaoChen's finger that contained immeasurable power, MuRong Xue could not move! His power cannot be given, not even a little bit. 

He knew he couldn't stand a chance against OuYang ShaoChen an enormous power and stopped fighting. He raised his head to look at her. 

OuYang ShaoChen ignored his gaze. Seeing that she had calmed down in some way, she let go of her touch and gracefully sat down beside him. He then took out the rice porridge, gracefully put some vegetables on it and placed a few slices of plum cake on a small plate in front of him. 

MuRong Xue looked at the fragrant plum cake, shocked. 

"How do you know I like plum cakes?"

"Let's guess," replied OuYang ShaoChen, his jet-black diamond eyes sparkling with a hint of humor. 

MuRong Xue looked at him again. 

He thought, Fine. I'm not interested anyway. 

MuRong Xue took the plum cake and put it in her mouth. The smell and softness of the cake filled his mouth. 

A person is less likely to feel hungry after recovering from the poison; however, it is recommended to have white pulp to regain strength. MuRong Xue felt it was appropriate to eat something to nourish herself and coincidentally, plum cake was her favorite, so she ate a few more pieces. Moreover, OuYang ShaoChen looked at him from the side. He felt he had to eat something or he would never let it go.

MuRong Xue used perfect speed to finish the plum cake and stood up afterwards. 

"Ouyang shizi, I'm already full, please take some time to eat!" 

OuYang ShaoChen's expression turned serious. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and carried the plate with a wet cloth. He continued to pat his hands with a cloth. What seemed like a simple act was more of a graceful demeanor when it was done by her. 

MuRong Xue quickly shook her head and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty for your kind attitude! But Zhen's house isn't far away, please, I don't need to disturb Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it is better that you hurry back to pay your respects to your father and mother instead! "

It is known for those who are the first dutiful among the rest. OuYang ShaoChen had not been home for 10 years and now he had just returned. It was just a matter of fact that he had to pay his respects to his parents. 

She thought: this is the best reason to keep her away from me. 

"They're not in Jing City, they go explore the great mountain, DaChuan," he said wryly, as if it was a common thing to do at that time, "They want to see it for themselves - Sakura and the flowers in Gangnam, the desert outside the Great Wall. ” 

They leave the task where the palace calls and together they explore the world. His highness and his wife were truly noble people who did not care about fame or power.

No wonder OuYang ShaoChen left the palace when he was just eight years old! He was traveling the world, ah so this trait was inherited from his parents! 

“It's still morning and I want to take a walk around the city for a while without a train. I will not trouble Your Majesty send me home, goodbye! ”MuRong Xue excuse me with a polite smile and without waiting for OuYang ShaoChen to reply; he turned around and paced quickly outside.

Once out of the courtyard, he followed the black stone path. In a hurry, he dashed out of the palace and took a few quick turns in the alley. He stopped and looked at the empty streets behind him. Secretly, he felt relieved. Thanks to himself, he had fast reflexes and body movements that allowed him to quickly make countless twists. To be fair, he thought he was a pretty good man, but he exuded a dangerous aura and he did not want to relate to him in any way. 

Murong Xue strolled the streets of Jing City and saw the bustle of the cityscape. The varied hawkers doing their business and the rowdy bargaining coming from them made the corner of his mouth slant and exuded a small smile.

The host had been living in a district that was snowing, had little exercise, had a body where, when the wind was blowing would make him faint. This results in frequent frostbite that is so painful that you would rather die. He had to walk more and train his body to get better so that when that happened, he would not feel much pain. 

A light breeze blew and gracefully raised her thick, black hair. With the sunlight, she looked even more beautiful. Where, it drew the attention of many to admire her beauty - her white skin, her eyes sparkling like pure water - and wonder, which family did she come from? 

Murong Xue, however, was unaware of that gaze and continued walking. His distant views broke the rowdy bargain and the peddlers were doing business!

"Cousin!" Suddenly an enthusiastic voice sounded. 

The voice came from a young man wearing a silvery-white long robe. He rushed to catch up with her and immediately in front of her, blocking her path. The man looked at her beauty greedily before saying, “Xue my cousin! Long time no see! Don't pretend to ignore me when you see me! ” 

Seeing the spontaneous action and looking at him, he raised his eyebrows. 

"Who are you?" 

This man knew his name and even called his cousin! But there was no memory of this person at the host. 

The man laughed and raised his chin, as if to introduce himself, he replied, "I am Du ChenJiang, cousin, surely you have heard my name!" 

Du ChenJiang's! Isn't that the eldest granddaughter of the Du family!

Every New Year, he and his family would come to the Zhen country palace as guests. But due to the fact that the host's body was not in good shape and the Du family disliked him, he was never asked to go to the courtyard to meet guests. 

Murong Xue let out a "hmm!" The gentle one and continuing on her journey, her pale green dress robe fluttered in the wind which emitted a faint feminine fragrance from her. 

Du ChenJiang inhaled the scent of his body and his eyes sparkled. Seeing that Murong Xue had passed him and continued on his way, he rushed after to block his path again. He did not bother to hide his gaze of admiring the woman from top to toe or even his glistening eyes. 

He said, “Sepupu Xue, don't walk away from me! Since we're cousins and it's hard to meet, let's talk again! ”
