"Hey, it's usually Yueyin who tastes it before I eat it. Didn't you know, the food of the king's family members should be checked first. As the king's younger brother, can you guarantee that no one is interested in poisoning me?" Nan Luoxia's eyes bulged wide, that gaze reminded her of Xue Xue while in her arms by the river when she first opened Xue Xue's veil.
With a doubtful look Zhao Juren scooped the food using a silver spoon that was used separately on the table.
His eyebrows rose up and cheeked the shark fin soup that he rarely ate because their country was far from the sea coast. And now his brows furrowed as the rare food touched the tip of his lips.
"This is.this is so good." Zhao Juren clucked involuntarily.
"I don't ask if it's delicious or not, what I want to know is it's poisonous or not?"
Zhao Juren's face was instantly sour. He felt that this Nan Luoxia was otherwise stupid to mean that she was playing herself.
"If it's poisonous, I'll probably die after taking a sip." Zhao Juren said with an annoyed feeling that he was trying to hide.
"This one again." Nan Luoxia pointed to other dishes such as grilled meat and in the flush of black soy sauce.
Zhao Juren stared for a moment at Nan Luoxia, she did not like soybeans, if in her palace this was probably the first food she removed from her presence. Then in his taste slowly, his forehead frowned, the savory taste of soybeans was not something Zhao Juren liked.
"Why? Not delicious?" Nan Luoxia asked.
"Not toxic, Your Highness the princess." Zhao Juren replied without heeding Nan Luoxia's question.
"I asked, good or not?"
"The princess just asked me to make sure, whether this is poisonous or not..."
"I'm the one who asked, you're just answering my question." Nan Luoxia showed her regret, Zhao Juren's attitude was like he was retaliating.
"Please enjoy the Princess, all these foods are safe from toxins. Lest the lord of puetri starve, I might walk headlessly out of the gates of this palace if I let the princess pass out from a stomach ailment." Zhao Juren bowed deeply.
"Huh...!" Nan Luoxia scowled, this regrettable attitude of hers looks funny, now it is getting more and more similar to Xue Xue.
Nan Luoxia took the chopsticks and the bowl and placed the other bowl and chopsticks in front of Zhao juren.
"Let's eat." He said, as he began to take his own food. It seems that he is not used to serving.
"Mr Puetri wants to kill me?"
"Kill you how? I told you to eat instead of telling you to kill yourself!" Nan Luoxia looked purchasing, her eyes round unblinkingly staring at Zhao Juren.
"My lord princess will probably disappear from my neck if people find out a servant is eating with a princess of Nanxing Palace." Sahut Zhao Juren while bowing her face.
"Your head will be fine if you eat with me now! And who else saw you eating with me? In this room it's just the two of us Ju'er. Especially..." Nan Luoxia glanced towards Zhao Juren's stomach.
"I have a Ju'er story." Nan Luoxia began to chew the meat in her mouth as she spoke, this attitude completely did not reflect a pueter educated in palace manners. It seemed that even Nan Luoxia did not care much about it. The elegance of a princess who looked when she was in the public de3pan was evaporating somewhere.
"A long time ago there was an intruder into Nan's palace, he was anxious to find out how good a king's bed was. Then he disguised himself as a eunuch. All these days he's been coming in and out of the palace freely and you know Ju'er? When the king found out, he finally found the destiny he wanted. The king sent him to the butchery of Kasim and cut his maleness to nothing. His Majesty the king is indeed kind, he never killed anyone who tried to enter his palace but he made him immortal as his bodyguard. That was the fate of his personal eunuch now, just cleaning the king's bed." nan Luoxia told him in a relaxed manner, but made Zhao Juren instantly goosebumps, holding the bottom of her dress.
"Did the princess come in and tell me this?" Zhao Juren asked as she lifted her face.
"I just remembered that funny story and suddenly wanted to tell you. Sometimes the sky is weird, it can grant someone's wish. Even reverse the impossible reality. Sometimes I wonder if people who aspire to be women will be granted the sky?" Nan Luoxia chuckled, because while chewing the meat in her mouth she became coughing. The noise of Luoxia's cough made Bai Yueyin open the main door anxiously.
"Mr princess? you all right?"
"I'm fine, Yueyin, just choking a little because I'm too excited to eat this good food." Nan Luoxia waved her hand telling Bai Yueyin to come back out.
Zhao Juren barely breathed for a moment, her eyes stealing glances at the sword in Bai Yieyin's hands, the black-robed girl with a face as frozen as the north pole clenched her even more intently than her blade.
"I was just eating while chatting a funny story with this sweet Ju'er, this new waitress is so cute and fun. Let me be with him a little longer. It seems like my appetite has increased from seeing this face." Nan Luoxia laughed out loud, exorcising Bai Yueyin's anxiety.
Slowly Yueyin came out and closed the door back from the outside. Zhao Juren was starting to believe that now Nan Luoxia was indeed playing tricks on him.
"Mr Princess, I'd better go." Zhao Juren bowed. Nan Luoxia stopped her laughter then stared intently at Zhao Juren.
"I left my job too long, May's lady-in-waiting may be looking for me." Subject Zhao Juren later.
Nan Luoxia put down the chopsticks in her hand, then slowly stood up. The gaze was sharp and pierced all the way to Zhao Juren's heart.
"Stand..." Nan Luoxia said in a flat voice, returning to the style of an esteemed royal princess.
Zhao Juren stood up and bowed in front of Nan Luoxia, he did not want any more female gazes that made him this confused.
"Thank your face..." His orders, in a low tone. Zhao Juren did not comply, he just wanted to get out of this room immediately. If Nan Luoxia and Xue Xue were different people, then he was determined to look for her in every corner of Nan's palace, no matter if this king's younger brother suspected her now.His heart was just saying, No matter what, Xue Xue was not far away from her.only the woman was her hope of canceling a war that might happen in the next two months.
"Lift your face, General Zhao. Don't embarrass yourself by looking down in front of a girl..."
