Chapter 256 What kind of villain is so impatient!
"Just saying sorry is enough?"

Yun Chuhuan refused to give in:
"This prince tells you, you..."

"Do you want some fried potato balls?"

Yun Shu suddenly handed over a plate of fried potato balls that had just been served and had not been touched:

"It's not a big portion. I only have this one plate. And you have to eat it while it's hot."

"Are there any new dishes?"

Emperor Xuanwu attached great importance to the issue of saving potatoes for seeds. He even had five pots of potatoes from Concubine Liu sent to Yunshu.

Yun Chuhuan had been craving for potatoes for several months. He finally got a plate of them, and it was a new dish he had never tasted before.

He immediately took the plate of fried potato balls with shining eyes, forgetting about making things difficult for Huyan Mingchuan.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for rescuing Mingchuan."

Huyan Mingchuan lowered his eyes and gently stroked the footprint imprinted on his robe with his right hand, slowly erasing it bit by bit.

He looked like he was used to this kind of thing. He was neither happy nor angry, but his spine was still straight, as if he was silently resisting the harm from the outside world.
The temperament and expression are all just right.

Even the noble ladies in the distance couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Only Yun Shu seemed to be missing a string, and remained indifferent to the beauty trap. He just glanced at her lightly and turned his eyes away.

"Sixth Prince is young and a little immature, so Ninth Prince should not take it to heart."

Yun Shu had no idea how far Hu Yanmingchuan had grown now, and whether he would secretly do something detrimental to Yun Chuhuan later.

She could only try her best to prevent Yun Chuhuan from offending others too much.

After all, based on her past experience of reading novels, people like Huyan Mingchuan are mostly somewhat twisted and perverted inside.

It's really not worth it to cause such a big trouble for such a small matter.

Yun Shu calmly picked up the chopsticks:

“These delicacies are all new dishes that my Tiansheng Dynasty has come up with in the past one or two years. The Ninth Prince has probably never tasted them.

If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, you can try them all.”

If he understood correctly, Lady Tiansheng meant... to let him eat more vegetables and talk less?

A hint of strangeness flashed across his eyes, and Hu Yanmingchuan responded in a low voice:
"Thank you, Your Highness."

This day, Lady Sheng was very different from what he had expected.

When I was in Beixiang in the past, relying on my face, in front of those princesses and noble ladies, even if I couldn't get everything I wanted, at least I could still play a certain role.

Although he actually hated the way those people looked at him,

But this Tiansheng Princess...

Is she blind?

After tasting a few dishes that were indeed delicious, Huyan Mingchuan gently put down his chopsticks:
"Your Highness."

Yun Shu: “…”

Even food can't stop you from eating!

Yun Shu raised his eyes helplessly:

"Does the Ninth Prince have anything to say?"

"Your Highness...doesn't like Mingchuan?"

Seeing that Yun Shu was not the kind of person who liked to talk in a roundabout way, Huyan Mingchuan went straight to the point with a nervous look.

As expected, Yun Shu, who had not expected him to ask this directly, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said without comment:
“I’m just not familiar with you, and I’m not interested in any marriage.

I guess the Ninth Prince doesn't really want to marry me, right?" Marry?"
Huyan Mingchuan sneered sarcastically in his heart, but his expression became more lonely:
"This is the mission that Mingchuan must complete during his mission to Tiansheng."

"What if it can't be completed?"

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled leisurely as if teasing a friend:
"Kill you?"

"If that were the case, Mingchuan might not have to say these words that would embarrass His Highness."

Huyan Mingchuan smiled miserably, and his expression looked pale no matter how you looked at it.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Then, as if he had finally made up his mind, he spoke in a voice so soft that Yun Shu could hardly hear it:
"I wonder if Your Highness is free tomorrow? Mingchuan has something to say to Your Highness alone."

"..."

This pervert really wanted to trick her out of the palace!

Yun Shu rejected him on the spot without hesitation:
"I am very busy."

Huyan Mingchuan: "..."

It seems that she really doesn't buy it.

That being the case...

Huyan Mingchuan leaned closer to Yunshu, his expression and temperament remained unchanged, except for the tone of his voice that only Yunshu could hear.
But in an instant, he changed from being fragile to having an inexplicably cold evil aura:
"Don't you want the free Beixiang Kingdom?"

When he said this, his amber eyes were fixed on every subtle change in Yun Shu's expression.

It was reasonable, yet unexpected, that she did not show any shock at first.

In other words...she really had known for a long time that he was pretending before.

"Your Highness, please stay calm."

Pretending to pour a cup of tea for Yun Shu, Hu Yanmingchuan curled his lips:

"Was it because I didn't pretend well enough before?"

Yun Shu: “…”

Is he going to reveal his hand now?

No, what kind of villain is so impatient!
Wouldn't it be better for him to just continue pretending to be that beautiful, weak and pitiful little person?

They say the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
The big villain suddenly revealed his true colors in front of her, and she was so scared!!!

The screaming chicken in Yunshu's heart started a new round of screaming.

But on the surface, in order to maintain her high status as the princess of Tiansheng, and to scare Hu Yanmingchuan so that he would not dare to act rashly,

After a brief silence, Yun Shu casually pulled the corner of his lip:
"You acted well."

"But you still saw through it?"

Hu Yanmingchuan said faintly:
"Your Highness, are you praising me or yourself?"

The two people were not far away when they talked, and Hu Yanmingchuan maintained a controlled expression from beginning to end.
This scene fell into the eyes of Emperor Xuanwu, who was at the top and could not hear their conversation at all.

That is, the pretty boy, the Ninth Prince of Beixiang, tried his best to seduce his little brat, and he even wanted to get right next to his little brat!

And the attitude of this little boy of mine towards that pretty boy wasn't too bad.
While allowing the other person to whisper to her, the corners of her mouth even curled up in a subtle arc!

If things continue at this pace, it's possible that little Xiaowu won't be able to hold his ground and get fooled by that pretty boy from Beixiang!

Emperor Xuanwu felt unable to accept such a result just by thinking about it.

They must be interrupted!
The wine cup in his hand was placed heavily back on the dragon table with a thud, and Emperor Xuanwu gritted his teeth and forced a smile:
"I heard that the princess has been to the Ministry of Industry quite a lot recently. What has she been busy with?"

There is one more chapter, later~
