In the East Palace, the prince was sitting at the desk, holding a brush in his hand and carefully drawing a picture of a beauty. After revising it several times, he found something was wrong, so he crushed it up and threw it into the wastebasket. He spread out a new piece of rice paper and started drawing again.
.
I don't know how long he had been painting, but the prince dropped the brush in frustration, sat on the desk, and looked at the ceiling.
"Ginger and milk, two seemingly unrelated ingredients are combined to form a new delicacy. Can I be ginger and milk?"
He muttered to himself, his eyes dim.
He did not have the courage to go to his father to explain his love for A-Juan. If he told his father that he had fallen in love with the beautiful girl in the harem.
His father may reward Ajuan to him, but can he really bear the consequences?
Originally, the competition for the position of crown prince was extremely fierce among the princes, and the queen mother used all her connections to secure his position.
If it is because of one of his mistakes, he may be considered by his father as a mediocre person who is greedy for beauty, and his position as prince will not be guaranteed...
He rubbed his brows, feeling irritable and confused.
"Ginger hits breasts... ginger hits breasts..."
He whispered over and over again, seeming to remind himself and encouraging himself to take a step forward.
He even began to doubt that with his indecisive character, he was really suitable to be the prince and the future emperor of Yan?
As I thought about it, my mood gradually dropped, and I felt that the impulse that had finally been aroused was annihilated in this deep consideration.
"Your Highness, I have invited Chef Xia to make ginger milk for you!" Old Man Liao's voice came from outside the door.
The prince is in a very confused mood now, but people always need to talk to solve problems. There is no one in the palace who can talk. Now he needs someone who can listen and have no influence on him.
Xia Jin's appearance was just right.
"Let him in."
After Xia Jin walked in, the prince motioned for someone to close the door.
"Sit down."
Xia Jin looked at the prince and saw him sitting on the chair in front of the desk, leaning back on the armchair and looking up at the ceiling.
The doors and windows in the room were closed and it looked dim. There was a candle on the table. The light was weak, just enough to illuminate his drawing paper.
Xia Jin walked over, picked up the ball of paper on the ground, opened it and saw a woman with beautiful features drawn on it.
"She is beautiful, right?" The prince looked at her.
"She is indeed a beauty." Xia Jin spread out the painting and placed it on the table.
"Sit down and chat with me."
He spoke weakly, his hands drooped under the chair, his fingers were stained with ink, and his sleeves were heavily stained.
Xia Jin sat on the chair on the side of the desk. Mo Tuo said that the palace wanted to transport something valuable to the Ling Kingdom, and if Xia Jin wanted to successfully enter Xuerong Mountain, she must rely on the power of the palace. If she could get through the crown prince, she would
Once the escort matters are settled, there is hope for a successful entry into Xuerong Mountain.
When the time comes, you can go check it out in person, find spiritual stones, and advance your abilities!
Xia Jin has never advanced her powers before, so she really doesn't know what changes will occur after her powers are advanced.
Every time she thought of this, Xia Jin was excited and looking forward to it.
This is also the reason why Mr. Liao asked her to come without any hesitation!
Seeing that the prince was depressed and unable to talk about things, he asked, "Why is the prince upset?"
In fact, Xia Jin could guess some of it. At first, Xia Jin's idea of making ginger and milk had the meaning of inspiring him to break through the world and face it bravely.
The prince is a smart man who knows everything clearly.
Xia Jin thought that the prince would make a decision, but unexpectedly, he still looked like this, and it seemed to be more serious.
This situation cannot be said to be lovesick. To be precise, it is depression.
"What should I do?" The prince asked weakly, keeping looking at the ceiling.
"Has the prince ever considered a question?"
"what is the problem?"
Xia Jin looked at the prince and said, "Although the prince likes that woman, he has been reluctant to see her because of her status. Has the prince seriously thought about whether you really like her?"
"Of course I like Ajuan!" The prince sat up straighter and said seriously.
Xia Jin shook her head, "If the prince really likes her, why bother? Just like the ginger and milk I made, only by running in both directions can the result be achieved. If either Jiang or Nai is unwilling or hesitant, they will not
It goes together so perfectly.”
"If the prince really loves that woman, he will rush to her regardless of the cost. From the moment of hesitation, you already have the answer in your heart."
The prince was silent. He looked at the paintings on the table that were crumpled by him and spread out by Xia Jin. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
Suddenly the prince stood up.
"This prince is going to elope with Ajuan!"
He walked out of the desk excitedly and came to Xia Jin, "I like Ajuan and I am willing to give everything for her! Chef Xia, do me a favor!"
"What are you busy with?" Xia Jin asked.
"Go to the Show Girl Palace, give her the token of love between me and Ajuan, and tell her that I want to give up everything, run away with her, and travel around the world!"
After saying that, the prince thrust a sachet into Xia Jin's hand.
"Chef Xia, the only person who can help me now is you! I don't have a single friend in the palace! No one will help me! If others find out, they will tell my mother and she will lock me up!
Ah Xiu will also suffer!"
Xia Jin swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.
The prince gave Xia Jin a map of the palace and asked Xia Jin to put on eunuch clothes. With the map and the clothes, there was no obstacle in the palace.
After walking for a short time, they successfully arrived at the Palace of Beautiful Girls. Xia Jin walked in and saw three beautiful girls playing a pot throwing game in the courtyard.
There is a woman in yellow, a woman in pink, and the woman in white standing in the middle is A Juan, whom the prince likes.
After the woman in yellow finished throwing the pot, it was Ajuan's turn.
Ajuan picked up the arrow, took aim, and threw it, and it fell right into the mouth of the pot.
Seeing how good her accuracy was, the woman in yellow said bitterly: "Ajuan, you must be very lucky. You hit it in one shot. I just shot several times before I got in!"
"It will be better if you practice more." After finishing speaking, Ajuan threw the second shot and hit the mouth of the pot again.
When the woman in pink saw this, she clapped her hands and cheered!
"Ajuan is really good. Not only does she throw the pot accurately, but she also delivers the sachets accurately~"
The woman in yellow agreed: "Ajuan bought a dozen sachets from the market and gave away five of them, including the young master of the minister's house, the eldest grandson of the uncle, the general who defended the city, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and...
…His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~”
"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is lovesick for A-Juan. I think he will soon ask the Emperor for A-Juan and become the Crown Princess in the future. Don't forget the sisters!"
Xia Jin was about to step forward when she paused!
