Chapter 393 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 11

When Jiang Yunyan made a scene at the palace banquet, demanding the annulment of the engagement, a large group of people knelt down in the Imperial Garden, all trembling with fear and not daring to glance around. Only she secretly peeked at the dishes on the table, drooling with desire. At that moment, he knew she was a glutton.

But he didn't expect her to be so greedy.

Although Yun Qing didn't say it aloud, her expression betrayed her feelings.

Helian Yin said in a deep voice, "It seems that Miss Jiang does not welcome me, so I will not disturb you any longer."

He said that and turned to leave.

Yun Qing hadn't intended to keep him, but after he took a step, he revealed the food box he was carrying.

Yun Qing quickly reached out to grab his sleeve, "Helian Yin..."

She was so excited that she almost jumped off the windowsill.

Helian Yin turned around and caught her. She bumped her head into his stomach, but she didn't care about the pain. She grabbed his arm with both hands, looked up at him, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Since you're here, come in and sit down."

Helian Yin looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he pondered, "Isn't that inappropriate? It's not the act of a gentleman to sneak into a woman's boudoir at night."

Yun Qing: ...Do you have some kind of misconception about yourself?

She secretly reached for the food box, but Helian Yin dodged her. So she grabbed his arm and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. It was I who invited you in."

"The Regent is upright, noble, unconventional, and honest; he is a gentleman among gentlemen."

The Regent nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll sit for a while before I leave."

Yun Qing opened the door and warmly invited him to sit down at the table, gazing longingly at the food box.

Helian Yin stopped teasing her, opened the food box and took out a plate of pastries. "Eat up."

Yun Qing picked up a piece, took a bite, and looked satisfied. Then she complained, "Why are there only four pieces again?"

Helian Yin propped his forehead up with his hand, looking at her with a hint of laziness, and said, "I've fed you, and you still remember me?"

Yun Qing said matter-of-factly, "Only if you feed me well can I remember your kindness!"

"Do you think I believe you?"

Yun Qing: ...

Do I look like the kind of person who freeloads?

"You are."

"Helian Yin!"

Helian Yin's gaze fell on her face, and he raised an eyebrow. Yun Qing instantly cowered.

Oh dear... I got carried away.

Helian Yin snorted coldly and said irritably, "Compare the gifts you gave me at the beginning with the gifts you gave me these past two days. Can you honestly say you're not just trying to get rid of me and freeload?"

The difference between something made by hand and something picked at random shouldn't be too great.

Is he missing a folding fan or a jade pendant?

Today was even worse; they actually just casually handed her the storybook she had just finished reading.

Hearing him say that, Yun Qing got angry. "You're framing me! When have I ever been perfunctory with you?"

"I chose the folding fan and jade pendant because I thought they suited you well, and I gave you the storybook because I thought it was beautiful!"

Her eyes reddened as she spoke, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice. She looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes, as if they might fall at any moment.

Helian Yin reached out and pushed the plate towards her, "Have some pastries."

Yun Qing wasn't buying it. She needed to convince Helian Yin of her sincerity! Otherwise, how could she continue to freeload off him?

Yun Qing's behavior was half true and half false. She was true in saying that she thought the folding fan and jade pendant she gave him matched Helian Yin well, and she was also true in saying that she thought the storybook was good, but she was also being perfunctory.

In the blink of an eye, tears instantly streamed down her face.

Helian Yin sighed helplessly. Knowing she was playing a trick, he still reached out to wipe away her tears and coaxed her, "It's my fault. I misunderstood you. I've kept everything safe."

Yun Qing felt a little uncomfortable, her cheeks burning where his fingertips had touched.

Feeling guilty, she picked up another piece of pastry, took a bite, and changed the subject, asking, "Have you read any storybooks?"

"Looked."

Is it pretty?

Helian Yin spoke frankly: "The protagonist is a bit silly, and the story is like a joke."

Yun Qing wasn't angry. "It's just something to look at for fun! Just enjoy it. Why are you treating it like a memorial to the throne?"

Helian Yin chuckled and said, "Hmm, that's true."

Seeing that Yun Qing had finished the pastries, Helian Yin stood up and said, "I'm going back now. You should get some rest."

Yun Qing saw him to the door and asked reluctantly, "Will you come again tomorrow night?"

Helian Yin's gaze fell on her face. "You wanted me to come?"

Yun Qing nodded repeatedly, "Pastries, pastries!"

Helian Yin could tell what she was thinking at a glance. "You must be getting a little tired of these pastries after eating them for so many days, right?"

Yun Qing was eager to say that it wasn't greasy at all, but then she heard him say, "The kitchen has come up with a new pastry. I'll bring it to you tomorrow night so you can try it."

Yun Qing's eyes lit up, and she flattered him obsequiously, "Your Highness, you're so kind!"

Helian Yin chuckled, knowing full well that once the pastries were gone, he would become the annoying person again.

Yun Qing then softly asked him, "Could you bring a few more pieces tomorrow night?"

"No, eating too much at night can cause indigestion."

Yun Qing then suggested, "Why don't you have someone deliver it during the day?"

Helian Yin's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked calmly, "So I don't need to come at night, right?"

Yun Qing nodded, and Helian Yin's expression instantly changed. He let out a cold, gloomy laugh and then disappeared in a flash.

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

She blinked, looking bewildered. "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Am I not getting any pastries for tomorrow?"

Yun Qing felt like the sky was falling. "Waaah... I shouldn't have been so greedy. I apologize, okay? The pastries were innocent!"

Qi Ying: ...Is this a matter of greed or not?

This is a matter of utmost importance for the pastries, but one that the prince can disregard! This is a huge problem!

Once she was sure Helian Yin was gone, Yun Qing climbed into bed, feeling both confused and worried. She tossed and turned... well, tossed and turned, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Qi Ying: ...You should at least hold on a little longer so I can report to the Prince and he can calm down!

You fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes, making the prince seem even more insignificant!

The next day in the imperial court, several ministers who had failed in their duties knelt in the main hall, trembling. Memorials were thrown at their heads, but they dared not flinch.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Regent, please calm down."

On the seat to the lower right of the dragon throne, Helian Yin's face was gloomy and his aura was terrifying.

On the dragon throne, the emperor, despite his ailing body, insisted on holding the morning court session, remaining sickly and silent.

He was practically a figurehead; the Regent made all the decisions in court, at most asking for his opinion.

Although he was unwilling, he was powerless to do anything about it, and he felt his health deteriorating day by day.

It seems we need to hurry up with the matter of establishing an heir.

He glanced at Helian Yin again. He had seen the eldest prince yesterday, and his temper was so bad today. It seemed that he had discovered that Jing Yan was also wary of him, and even had murderous intent towards him. This was quite a blow to him.

He was pleased that the regent and the eldest prince had broken ties.

So much so that he felt quite pleased to see the Regent lose his temper today.

When Yun Qing woke up, she realized that she hadn't figured out why Helian Yin was angry last night.

She sighed and worried about not having any pastries for the day, but to her surprise, Helian Yin had them delivered to her early in the morning.

Besides what he's been eating every day lately, there were also some new pastries he mentioned, and the portions were quite generous.

Yun Qing was happy all day, but at night, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, she sat up angrily and pounded the bed, yelling, "Ugh! This is so annoying!"

"That stingy Helian Yin! What is he so angry about?!"

Qi Ying: ? ? ?

No! The prince was angry last night, and you're only worrying about it tonight?
