When He Qingchen rushed back to Zhuangzi.

It's late at night.

Zhuangzi was vaguely hidden in the darkness, with only the lonely shadow of the lamp flickering back and forth in the night wind.

He Qingchen was exhausted.

When I approached the main courtyard, I saw that the people guarding the courtyard were looking into the courtyard eagerly, and from time to time, there were faint laughter coming from the courtyard.

He frowned and asked unhappily: "What are you looking at?"

The guard suddenly turned around and saw He Qingchen's dark face hidden in the darkness. He knelt on one knee with lingering fear and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

He Qingchen didn't shout, but glanced at everyone.

"Where's Zhou Hui?"

The guards turned their heads awkwardly and looked into the yard.

He Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Hui is not guarding here, but has gone to the yard?

He Qingchen didn't want to get entangled with them. He took a few quick steps, crossed the gate and walked inside.

In the yard.

Shen Guidi, Yunshu, Youbai, Zhou Hui, and a few maids were sitting around a stove, roasting something to eat.

He Qingchen frowned and walked over step by step with displeasure.

Hear the sound.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

next moment.

Everyone's smiles faded slightly, and they quickly stood up and saluted.

Youbai looked at the barbecue in his hand unhappily, and reluctantly followed Shen Guidi in paying his respects.

He Qingchen glanced coldly at Zhou Hui, Chun Lan and the other maids.

Almost in unison, they made up a reason that no one believed or listened to, and ran away in a hurry.

soon.

The yard was completely silent.

He Qingchen then paid some attention and took a look at the stove stand.

That stove looks simple.

There was only a large black iron pot with a silver iron grid-like rack on top. The charcoal fire under the rack was burning red hot at the moment. One could smell the obvious heat just by getting a little closer.

On the grid rack, there were some thinly sliced ​​meat and some chicken wings.

The golden meat slices were being roasted over charcoal, making sizzling sounds. The smell of meat filled the air, and an enticing aroma rushed into people's noses.

It’s not like He Qingchen hasn’t eaten barbecue before.

Most of the time, they would casually process some small carnivorous animals, wash them, pierce them directly with a wooden stick, and finally, place them on two casually built wooden racks.

He had never tried such a delicate barbecue method.

I don’t know if they added any other seasonings, but the roasted meat was fragrant and completely different from what they had eaten before.

"Eating barbecue?"

He Qingchen's gaze passed over Youbai and Yunshu, paused, and finally looked at Shen Guidi.

You have clearly seen it, but you still have to ask again.

Youbai resisted the urge to roll her eyes, turned her head and secretly started eating again. Yunshu pulled her arm but failed.

He Qingchen actually noticed her little movements.

He said nothing.

Shen Guiyi glanced at Youbai, suppressed her laughter, and responded, "Yeah, I accidentally saw the barbecue grill, and I... really wanted to eat some."

“So many people?”

Even though everyone had left, He Qingchen still cared.

Especially, he had just arrived in the yard and saw them all gathered around the stove, eating, laughing, and talking in a very relaxed and comfortable manner, without any of the restraint and nervousness that characterizes master and servant.

However, when he arrived, everyone's expressions turned pale.

He doesn't care about the people around him.

But Ah Yi, it seemed, rarely looked so lively and relaxed in front of him.

He felt very sad.

What’s even more sour is that he had finally managed to pull his Ah Di away from the entanglement of those two, but... they actually came?

He Qingchen was very upset.

Shen Guidi seemed not to understand what He Qingchen cared about.

She smiled faintly: "What's the point of barbecuing alone? Of course, the more people, the better."

He Qingchen: "..."

He approached Shen Guidi helplessly and pulled her to sit down with him: "I have never eaten like this before. Is this barbecue rack made of iron? Who taught you to grill like this?"

He Qingchen tried hard to find a topic to talk to Shen Guidi.

Shen Guidi was a little surprised: "Your Highness, have you never seen this method of grilling meat?"

He Qingchen shook his head.

Without waiting for Shen Guiyi to speak, Youbai curled his lips and muttered, "Why are you pretending? Isn't this a common method used by those people in the south?"

How could he, a general from the southern border, not have seen it?

He Qingchen: "..."

Shen Guiyi pulled Youbai awkwardly and said, "Youbai, Yunshu, how much meat is left? Bring it up and roast more. Since the prince has never eaten it this way, let him try it too."

Yun Shu turned around respectfully, picked up some slices of meat from the pot with chopsticks, flattened them and grilled them.

Xiaobai didn't say anything, turned around and took some chicken wings and put them on top.

He Qingchen rushed over from the mansion. He was indeed very hungry at this moment. Looking at the barbecue on the iron rack, his throat rolled a little.

He reached out and touched his lower abdomen with an unnatural look.

Suddenly.

He Qingchen felt a warm sensation on his lips, and a rich, fresh scent rushed to his nose.

He glanced down.

That was the chicken wing in Shen Guidi's hand, with a small notch on it.

Before he could react, Shen Guiyi's soft and warm voice came to his ears: "Your Majesty, are you hungry? I only took a bite of this chicken wing. If you don't mind, you can eat some first? The barbecue will be cooked quickly and we can eat it soon."

He Qingchen stared at the chicken wings in a daze.

For a long while, there was no movement.

Shen Guidi also knew that it was very impolite to pass food that you had eaten to others, especially to a prince as precious as He Qingchen. How could he eat food that others had eaten?

But then I thought, even though they were not harmonious, they were still a couple in name only.

He even ate his own saliva.

These chicken wings should be fine.

However, her hands were so tired from raising them that He Qingchen did not move.

The smile on Shen Guidi's face faded a little inadvertently.

Just as he was slowly putting down the chicken wing to explain, He Qingchen lowered his head and took the chicken wing on the chopsticks away.

Shen Guidi stared at him blankly as if he was eating some delicious food. A smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and the tips of her ears slowly became hot and red.

Yun Shu glanced at Shen Guidi, pursed her lips and said, "Princess, the barbecue is cooked."

Shen Guidi woke up as if from a dream.

She quickly picked up an empty bowl, changed a pair of chopsticks, put a few pieces of barbecue into the bowl, and handed it to He Qingchen.

Seeing this, He Qingchen swallowed the chicken in a hurry, but made no attempt to take the bowl and chopsticks. Instead, he looked at Shen Guidi eagerly.

"..."

Shen Guidi didn't move for a long time.

He wouldn't... want me to feed him it, right?

He Qingchen really thought so.

He even said rather shamelessly, "A'di, I've been busy all day since I came back to the capital. I'm so tired that I didn't even have time to drink water. I'm so hungry that my hands and feet have no strength left. I rode all the way here and almost fell off the horse several times. Can you feed me, please?"
