After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Your Royal Highness?

Why are you looking for her?

Jiang Ruoli was full of doubts and followed the palace maid to the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the Princess of Leping County is here." After the palace maid reported, she brought Jiang Ruoli into the palace.

Jiang Ruoli walked into the hall and saw Xiao Yujing sitting at the round table.

Although she didn't know what he wanted, Jiang Ruoli still knelt down and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays homage to..." Your Highness the Crown Prince.

"Okay, get up."

Before Jiang Ruoli could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Yujing's voice.

It just so happened that she was not willing to kneel.

Jiang Ruoli straightened her half-bent knees.

"Your Highness, what is the matter that you want me to come here for?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"Come and sit down." Xiao Yujing raised his hand and pointed at the round table in front of him, "Eat something."

???

eating???

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled, but still walked over and sat down obediently.

As soon as she sat down, the palace maid next to her began to serve her food.

Jiang Ruoli didn't dare to eat it.

What is this, Your Highness?

[Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to poison me? ]

[Today is a palace banquet! ]

Xiao Yujing felt helpless.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli lowering her head and looking reserved, Xiao Yujing looked at Eunuch Wu standing beside her.

"Cough cough."

Eunuch Wu cleared his throat and began to introduce Jiang Ruoli.

"Princess Leping, these dishes are all made by your highness's small kitchen. The cooking skills are no worse than the imperial cuisine. Please try them."

Jiang Ruoli still didn't move.

"Look, this is the Yunmeng Eight Immortals Plate, made with boneless young chickens, the meat is soft, tender and smooth; look at this Eight Treasures Duck, stewed for six hours, fat but not dry; and this is the roasted fresh shrimp..."

Smelling the aroma of the delicious food on the table and listening to Eunuch Wu's introduction, Jiang Ruoli couldn't help swallowing.

She was indeed hungry, as there wasn't much delicious food at the banquet.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing and said, "Your Highness, I will not be polite then?"

Xiao Yujing curled the corners of his lips and said, "Eat it."

Jiang Ruoli picked up the chopsticks, lowered her head and started eating.

Xiao Yujing looked at Jiang Ruoli quietly.

She eats quite fast but her table manners are very good. She doesn't look like she's wolfing down the food, but instead the food looks very appetizing.

Thinking of something, Xiao Yujing waved to the palace maid beside him.

The palace maid then brought a pot of wine and poured half a cup for Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food in her mouth, and looked at Xiao Yujing.

"This is the new grape wine contributed to the palace. The alcohol content is not high. You can try it." Xiao Yujing said.

Recently, he saw that his mother was very fond of drinking this wine, so he ordered the small kitchen to prepare a pot for Jiang Ruoli as well.

It turned out to be grape wine.

Thinking of the taste of the wine she had at home, Jiang Ruoli picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Very sweet, and a little bit alcoholic.

It tastes better than what I have at home.

Jiang Ruoli licked her lips.

The red lips were slightly wet and had a shiny luster.

Xiao Yujing couldn't help rubbing his fingers.

I wanted to pinch her face.

Jiang Ruoli ate the food and drank the grape wine at the same time, and soon she had finished half a pot.

Jiang Ruoli and Xiao Yujing both underestimated the aftereffects of the wine.

After a while, Jiang Ruoli felt her face getting hot and her mind was fuzzy.

"Hiccup~"

Jiang Ruoli burped slightly and covered her mouth embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yujing knew that she was a little drunk.

This is not good.

Seeing that she was about to reach for the wine glass again, Xiao Yujing raised his hand and held her wrist.

"No more drinking."

Jiang Ruoli looked up at Xiao Yujing, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with innocence.

Xiao Yujing couldn't help it in the end.

He raised his hand and touched Jiang Ruoli's face, pinching the flesh on her cheeks with his thumb and index finger and squeezing them gently.

It was tender and soft as expected.

As Xiao Yujing pinched her face, Jiang Ruoli pouted slightly.

Following the corner of Jiang Ruoli's mouth, Xiao Yujing's thumb couldn't help but touch her lips.

Somewhat itchy.

Jiang Ruoli moved her lips, opened her mouth and bit Xiao Yujing's thumb.

He also rubbed his fingertips with his teeth.

Xiao Yujing suddenly stopped and his eyes darkened.

Eunuch Wu, who was standing by, was horrified and quickly lowered his head.

oh my gosh!

See no evil See no evil.

Jiang Ruoli felt a little uncomfortable and let go.

By the way, escape from Xiao Yujing's "claws".

Xiao Yujing suddenly had a bad idea and rubbed the saliva on his thumb on Jiang Ruoli's shoulder.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't believe it.

"Your Highness! How could you...how could you..." be so unhygienic? !

Xiao Yujing laughed, "Who allowed you to bite the lonely ones? Are you born in the year of the dog?"

Jiang Ruoli's eyes widened.

"Your Highness, how did you know?!"

Looking at Jiang Ruoli's dazed look, Xiao Yujing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The corners of his lips were raised high and his eyes were slightly curved, which was more lively and shining than his usual gentle smile.

Jiang Ruoli was a little stunned.

"Your Highness, you still look better when you smile like this."

After hearing Jiang Ruoli's words, Xiao Yujing stopped laughing.

"Girl, do you have any shame in staring at other men?"

Jiang Ruoli shook her head. "Your Highness, what you said is not right. Men like to look at beautiful women, but women can't like to look at handsome men?"

At first glance, it sounds like he is praising Xiao Yujing for her good looks.

Eunuch Wu was sweating profusely.

My little ancestor!

How can you allow others to casually comment on your appearance......

Xiao Yujing didn't care much at first, but suddenly she remembered that she had said before that she wanted to keep a male lover, and her face darkened a little.

He raised his hand, and a eunuch next to him came forward holding a tray.

On the tray was an exquisite golden box.

"Open it and take a look." Xiao Yujing gestured to Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli was dazed and pointed her index finger at herself, "For me?"

Xiao Yujing nodded.

Jiang Ruoli took the golden box and opened it. Inside was a small gourd made of pure gold.

The small gourd was as big as her entire palm, and it was golden all over and very dazzling.

Jiang Ruoli blinked because of the shock.

I weighed it in my hand and it was heavy.

"Your Highness, this... this isn't fake, is it?"

The gold was so dazzling that Jiang Ruoli doubted its authenticity.

"How could that be possible, Princess? This is made of gold from inside to outside." Eunuch Wu explained with a smile.

It’s pure gold!

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing with bright eyes.

"Your Highness, isn't this... a little too expensive?"

Well, she is very cautious and not greedy for money at all.

"You saved my aunt before, and then you saved Yuyao. Consider this as my New Year's gift to you." Xiao Yujing said, "Please accept it."

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will not be polite then!" Her tone was full of joy.

【Get rich, get rich! 】

[The prince finally stopped sending those troublesome poetry books. ]

Xiao Yujing was startled and made a gesture to stop the eunuch who was about to present a few poetry books.

The young eunuch didn't understand what was going on, but he still walked out with the book in his hands.

Xiao Yujing breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Fortunately, it was not sent out.

Jiang Ruoli was still looking at the golden gourd carefully.

The book was not given away, and Xiao Yujing felt that the gift was too shabby.

After thinking for a while, he took a jade leaf from his waist.

Seeing Xiao Yujing's actions, Eunuch Wu couldn't help but say: "Your Highness..."

Ignoring Eunuch Wu, Xiao Yujing put the jade leaf into Jiang Ruoli's hand.

"If you want to visit Yuyao in the palace in the future, just bring this jade leaf with you. The guards at the door will let you in when they see this."

"Is any time okay?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"Any time is fine." Xiao Yujing promised.

Jiang Ruoli laughed happily.

Thinking of something, Jiang Ruoli put down the golden gourd and jade leaf in her hands and rummaged in her sleeves.

After fumbling for a while, Jiang Ruoli took out an object and put it in Xiao Yujing's hand.

"Your Highness, this is for you."

"new Year's gift."
