Chapter 149 The poor little girl who was married off VS the inhumane prince 34
"you're awake?"
Nangong Yan's voice came.
Yu Yao looked up immediately upon hearing the voice, only to see that Nangong Yan had entered the room at some point and was sitting in a chair in front of the table sipping tea.
Was she so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when he entered the room? It seemed that Nangong Yan must be very skilled in martial arts.
Siqin's face turned pale with fright. She had just been reporting the matter of the Young Master to her master, and the Young Master appeared behind her in the blink of an eye. This was too scary.
She felt that the prince was like a ghost, coming in without making any sound.
Yu Yao was only surprised for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and walked towards him, "Did you go to the Dharma Hall today?"
Siqin glanced at Nangong Yan guiltily, and seeing that the prince was not looking at her, she quickly slipped away.
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, revealing a bit of solemnity, "Master Huicong told me something."
He didn't want to say more about what happened.
There's no need to make her worry.
Yu Yao wanted to ask what it was about, but seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask.
"Where's the food? I'm hungry!" she said to him.
Nangong Yan smiled faintly, "I asked someone to make you some sweet and sour fish. It's warming up in the kitchen. I'll have someone bring it in for you."
"This is a temple. It's not good to eat meat, right?" Yu Yao frowned and looked at him.
"It's okay, we are not from the temple, we don't need to observe those taboos!"
A dark light flashed in Nangong Yan's eyes, and his gaze fell on her still flat belly.
"You are pregnant, and you won't get enough nutrition if you eat vegetarian food!" he said seriously.
Yu Yao had no idea there was anything fishy about the food, and thought it made sense, so she didn't say anything.
The meal was brought over by Yuanchun, which consisted of four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.
After seeing what the dish was, I was stunned.
Sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, vinegar-fried shrimps, fish-flavored eggplant, and sour radish and old duck soup.
Yu Yao: “…”
Why is it all sour?
Thinking about what happened during the day, it was clear to her that this man was telling her that he was jealous.
She cast her eyes at the man opposite her and said angrily, "Keep these for yourself!"
Then he turned around and left.
Nangong Yan coughed twice, and hurriedly pulled her back in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I just felt uncomfortable thinking about how the prince looked at you during the day."
This explains why all four dishes are sour.
Yu Yao was still angry, and said seriously: "I didn't meet him alone, and we didn't even talk. It's his business if he looks at me like that. What does it have to do with me?"
You stinky man, I'll make you a table full of sauerkraut someday and see if you can eat it.
"Yao'er, I'm not angry with you, nor do I blame you, I just..."
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, not knowing how to describe that feeling.
Just thinking about his wife being pursued by another man, especially when that man is the prince, makes him feel very uncomfortable and unhappy.
There was also a surge of anger in my heart that I had nowhere to vent.
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up, "Host, Nangong Yan's favorability has increased to 83."
Yu Yao was slightly startled, and looked at Nangong Yan. The favorability had been at 78 and couldn't go up any higher, so why did it increase now? Or did it directly break through to 83?
Could it be that after the prince made such a fuss, Nangong Yan felt a sense of crisis and realized that he cared about her?
Nangong Yan's eyes were as tender as water. He stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms and said in a very low voice, "Yao'er, if...if one day in the future, he uses force to force you, what will you do?"
"Hmm?" Yu Yao looked at him strangely, "I am already your Crown Prince's Consort. Even if he is attracted by my beauty and has feelings for me, he can't come here openly, right?"
"If it gets out that a prince is obsessed with his cousin's wife, it would be considered immoral. How can a prince with such a bad moral character still ascend to the throne?"
She really didn't take this matter to heart. The prince was just obsessed with her beauty at the moment and he would come to his senses after a while.
"He wouldn't dare to do that before he ascended the throne. I mean in the future..."
Nangong Yan looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. The main reason he was so worried was that there had been such a precedent in Jing Dynasty.
He was afraid that he would become the second King of Qin in the future, and Nangong Mo would be Emperor Wu'an.
Especially today, Master Huicong specifically reminded him to treat the woman in front of him well, saying that otherwise he would be lonely and regretful for the rest of his life. This made him even more nervous.
Yu Yao glanced at him and said, "What about the future? Can he steal my wife? If the news gets out, the people's spit will drown him. Besides, I'm not that important, so why would he do that?"
She is not a vixen from the demon world who specializes in seducing men's souls.
"But the host is a raider, no different from a vixen!"
The system's sudden voice rang in her mind.
Yu Yao's face darkened, and she shut down the system in the small dark room without hesitation.
Seeing that Nangong Yan still looked worried.
Yu Yao pretended not to see it and didn't want to continue this topic with him.
She didn't eat those dishes, but went to the temple to have a vegetarian meal.
After dinner, the two of them wandered around the temple and all the way to the waterfall on the back mountain.
Seeing the fish swimming in the water, she suddenly wanted to eat grilled fish.
The vegetarian meals in the temple really don't contain any meat at all. I can't help but feel greedy when I see the fish.
Nangong Yan saw her greedy look, smiled faintly, and took the initiative to catch two fish in the water and grill them.
It smells pretty good when roasted.
She never knew that Nangong Yan had this skill.
This scene happened to be seen by the prince who was out for a stroll. His face turned gloomy and he walked away with a dark face.
Yu Yao did not notice the prince, but Nangong Yan did. An imperceptible light flashed across his eyes and he curled his lips slightly.
The next day, the master from the temple came to find them and told them to try not to make a fire in the back mountain and try not to kill any animals in the temple.
Although it is said in a rather euphemistic way, this is roughly what it means.
It made both of them very embarrassed, and they kept saying they wouldn't do it again.
Yu Yao didn't dare to go to the back mountain to catch fish, and she just ate the vegetarian meals in the temple obediently.
Nangong Yan felt heartbroken, and also felt sorry for the baby in her belly, so she secretly hated the prince.
Not long after, news spread that the prince had a poor appetite and seemed unable to get used to the vegetarian meals in the temple.
Everyone thought that the prince was used to a life of luxury and delicacies, and naturally could not be accustomed to the vegetarian meals in the temple.
The prince was not used to the vegetarian meals in the temple. A large amount of vinegar was added to each vegetarian dish, which was so sour that it would make your teeth fall out. No one would be able to eat it.
The Crown Princess suffered as well, and she secretly cursed the vegetarian chef in the temple for being so jealous. Why did he send such vegetarian food to her without even trying it himself?
The prince knew that it was Nangong Yan's doing, and his face darkened, but he didn't say anything. He just asked his subordinates to do it again.
After staying in the temple for two days, the water and land ceremony officially began.
Wan'an Temple lecture hall.
"Boom!"
A bell rang, echoing throughout the area, and all around was silent.
A quarter of an hour later, an old monk in a cassock walked up to the platform.
"The three laws are the unification, and the awakening law is the way. When it is opened, it is named appropriately, and when it changes, it becomes more extensive. Although there are three laws, ..."
Everyone present, except the old monk on the stage, stood and listened to the Dharma, including the solemn-looking Crown Prince Nangong Mo.
The Crown Princess, the Third Prince, the Third Prince's wife, the Eldest Princess, and the Prince of Jin are all here.
As for Yu Yao, she didn't go to listen to the lecture at all. She was leisurely taking Siqin and Sihua to tour the thousand-year-old temple.
First of all, she didn't want to listen. Why would a Taoist listen to a monk preaching? Isn't that nonsense?
Secondly, she also wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the people sent by Princess Zhaomin to deal with her.
She was with Nangong Yan every day and never acted alone, which was why the man didn't take action for a long time.
Yu Yao no longer wanted to wait. If the hidden danger was not resolved, she would not be able to sleep well at night.
Nangong Yan was worried about her being alone and wanted to stay with her, but she tricked him into going to listen to the old monk preaching.
If Nangong Yan follows, how can the person hiding in the dark come out?
