Chapter 84 Reciprocity

"Then I'm going to give it a try and see how clever it can be!"

Yun Shu stood up and took out a few more empty shell cakes from the pile of ingredients:
"We will bake a few each this time. I just don't believe it. Could it be such a coincidence that the cakes in my hand and the ones in the eldest prince's hand would fall to the ground at the same time?"

"But……"

She had to do it herself, how could she eat his special version?
The eldest prince quickly spoke up to stop him:
"We have already agreed that I will be the one to show my sincerity to Her Royal Highness the Princess. How can I let Her Royal Highness do it herself?"

"It's okay, it's courtesy.

At worst, I can give the empty cakes I baked to the eldest prince."

When Yun Shu really wants to fool people, that innocent expression on his face can always easily make people let down their guard.

Just like now, she opened her round little doe eyes and tilted her head slightly. The arrogance and pampering on the surface did not disgust people at all, but made people want to smile knowingly and agree to all her requests.

Although the eldest prince had no good feelings towards her because of what happened before, he subconsciously put his mind at ease and pretended to be flattered:

"Then, I'll have to trouble Your Highness the Princess."

"It's not for you."

Yun Shu snorted disdainfully:
"I just wanted to try and see if it's really such a coincidence!"

She turned around with the cake in her hand and imitated the eldest prince's previous actions. She brushed a layer of oil on the empty cake shell and then calmly sprinkled some black sesame seeds on the cake that was in the middle and not easily visible.

In secret, A Ku noticed this scene and silently loosened his hand that was holding the pebble.

So, this time, the eldest prince's added-to-food version of the empty shell cake, which had gone through many twists and turns, was finally successfully delivered to Yun Shu's hand... and onto the plate next to him.

"It's too hot now. Leave it here for me to eat later."

As Yun Shu spoke, he slowly brushed a layer of oil on the empty pancakes he was baking:

"It just so happens that these ones of mine haven't been baked yet."

She turned her head, as if her attention was attracted by the soaking green onion in the bowl beside her. She picked up another one and put it on the pancake and started baking it together.

"Princess, do you want to taste the South Vietnamese mushrooms?"

The eldest prince's grill was now empty, so he took the remaining four green lilies and brushed them with the seasoning he had carefully prepared.

Without noticing, Yun Shu took advantage of this opportunity to remove all the sesame seeds from the empty shell biscuits with added ingredients.
Afterwards, she replaced the empty shell cake with the one to which she secretly added sesame seeds.

"Fifth sister, you..."

Yun Chuhuan accidentally glanced back and caught a glimpse of Yun Shu changing the cake.
He just opened his mouth to ask when he saw Yun Shu turn around and quietly made a "hush" gesture to him.

Yun Chuhuan: “?”

Yun Chuhuan: “!!!”

I don't know what he has imagined in his mind.

After a brief moment of confusion, he covered his mouth excitedly.

"What is this, Sixth Prince?"

Sometimes, things just happen.

Yun Shu's action of changing the cake was just seen by Yun Chuhuan.

Yun Chuhuan's action of covering his mouth excitedly happened to be seen by the eldest prince.

He followed Yun Chuhuan's line of sight to look at Yun Shu suspiciously, and saw Yun Shu slowly turning over the Jianshouqing on the pancake.

“This mushroom…”

Realizing that he had attracted the eldest prince's attention, Yun Chuhuan suddenly had an idea and shouted excitedly:

"She's really unusual looking!"

Yun Shu: “…” He should just shut up!

Shaking his head helplessly, Yun Shu picked up the empty sesame-sprinkled cake at hand and took a bite slowly.

As expected, she successfully diverted the eldest prince's attention in an instant.

A hint of smug smile appeared on his face, and the eldest prince raised his eyebrows slightly:
"How is it? Does this cake suit the princess's taste?"

"Okay."

Yun Shu nodded casually, picked up the cakes she had baked, and handed them to the eldest prince:
"Reciprocity is reciprocated."

"Since this is a kind gesture from the princess, I would be disrespectful to refuse it."

The eldest prince, who thought his plan had succeeded, was still immersed in the joy that Yun Shu had finally fallen into his hands, and had no idea that the added-in version of the empty shell cake he had made himself had been eaten up without a single bite left.

"This mushroom should be ready too."

The person who wanted to harm her was already on the road to suffering the consequences of his own actions. Yun Shu slowly ate the last bite of the empty shell cake and slowly stood up:

"But I am full, so I won't eat."

"Then I..."

Yun Chuhuan still remembered what the eldest prince had said about how delicious this thing was. He took a step forward and reached out to take the mushroom off and give it to himself.
As a result, Yun Shu grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back halfway:
“You are not allowed to eat.

Have you forgotten that last time we had hotpot together, you ate a bite of mushroom and got a rash on your body? "

"I……"

Yun Chuhuan's eyes widened, and he was about to ask when that happened.

Cen Yiyi beside him also reacted and whispered:
"Sixth Prince, the imperial physician also said at the time that you cannot eat mushrooms."

Yun Chuhuan was dumbfounded: "But I..."

"I know you like to eat it, but no, that's not possible!"

Yun Shu decisively interrupted what he wanted to say and said:

"It's settled. At worst, we'll all go without eating with you!"

Yun Chuhuan: “…”

Yun Chuhuan finally realized something and said "oh" dejectedly.

Yun Shu patted him on the head helplessly:
"Isn't it just that we can't eat mushrooms? We've been here long enough, it's time to go out and walk around and show our faces.

Excuse me, my prince."

"Princess please."

The purpose of drugging has been achieved, so the eldest prince naturally doesn't care whether Yun Shu wants to leave him or not.

To be precise, it's better if they leave.

After all, the number of "South Vietnamese mushrooms" he brought back from South Vietnam was not large, and these five roasted ones did not need to be shared. They were just enough for him to eat slowly!
……

After walking out of that secret little corner, Yun Chuhuan looked back at least a dozen times until he was sure that there was indeed no one else around who could hear their conversation.
He finally stopped and grabbed Yun Shu's cloak impatiently:

"Fifth sister, why didn't you let us eat mushrooms just now?
And that cake, did you secretly spit in it? "

Yun Shu: “…”

Although it was impossible for her to carry any poison or croton with her and give it to Prince Beixiang at this time.

But what the hell is spitting?

This is so unstyled!
