PFC Chapter 130 Antipyretic
Chapter 130 Antipyretic
After delivering the two men, the prince went to report back to the emperor.
The imperial concubines all lived in a palace not far from the Qingshan hunting grounds.
The families of the officials lived in houses outside the palace.
Wu Weiwei and her entourage were settled in Meiting Lane, located on Qingning Street, north of the imperial palace.
When the two arrived, they found that it was a single-courtyard house with a total of five rooms.
Wu Weiwei chuckled, thinking that it was alright, enough to keep her occupied.
However, she would have to share a small courtyard with He Yuyan and the others.
"Where does the young master live?"
Dingxiang asked Cuiyun.
Cuiyun glanced at He Yuyan, and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the young master returns..."
Both of them were concubines of the crown prince.
One was a concubine without official status, and the other was a favored concubine.
She didn't know if the prince would also live in the same room as them.
Wu Weiwei smiled at He Yuyan, "The young master must be living in the main house."
As for the other rooms, sister, you choose first!
To everyone's surprise, He Yuyan politely replied, "No need, Aunt Wu should choose first!"
Wu Weiwei's naturally red lips curved into a beautiful arc, seemingly smiling yet not smiling.
"If that's the case, then Weiwei won't stand on ceremony."
I'll choose the east wing!
The ancients paid attention to directions, and since ancient times, the east has been revered.
Since we've decided to compete, we can't afford to lose in terms of momentum.
Upon hearing that Wu Weiwei had chosen the east wing, He Yuyan's pretty face turned pale.
She was just being polite.
Unexpectedly, Wu Weiwei was completely oblivious and actually chose the east wing room directly.
Is this an attempt to overwhelm me with sheer force of will?
Seeing her holding her breath.
Wu Weiwei said in a good mood, "Sister, we've been traveling for several hours."
I'm a little tired, so I won't keep you company any longer.
Seeing her smug expression, He Yuyan forced a smile and could only nod.
Sunset.
The Crown Prince has returned.
Seeing that Wu Weiwei was living in the east wing, he didn't say anything.
At dinner time, the head of the kitchen came to ask Ru Feng whether the food should be delivered separately to each master's room or...
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the young master."
Based on Ru Feng's understanding of the Crown Prince, he would definitely have them delivered to their respective rooms.
But we're not at the Marquis's residence now, let's ask the heir!
He went outside and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A deep voice came from inside the room, and Ru Feng pushed the door open and entered.
"Your Highness, the kitchen has prepared the meal. Would you like to take it to their room?"
Lu Hanting looked up.
As is customary, meals are eaten separately.
But after what happened yesterday, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Let Madam Wu and Miss Cousin come to the main hall and dine together!"
When Wu Weiwei learned that she would be dining with the female lead, she secretly complained to herself.
I wonder what Lu Hanting is thinking. Does he enjoy watching women fight over him?
Or are they just using her as entertainment to watch them show off their affection?
West wing.
Dingxiang looked at her young lady and said happily, "Miss, I heard from the old woman in the kitchen that she made many of your favorite dishes today."
"The Crown Prince must be trying to please you because he feels sorry for your long journey."
He Yuyan frowned.
"But didn't he also invite Wu Weiwei over?"
“Miss, it is true that you invited Wu Wei Niang.”
But I heard that the kitchen only made what you and the Crown Prince like to eat.
As for Aunt Wu, I heard she paid money to have Steward Liu's apprentice cook her a dish.
When Wu Weiwei arrived at the main hall, she saw a table full of dishes.
Lingfu quietly counted and found that there were as many as sixteen dishes.
The three of them gathered together.
Lu Hanting looked at the two men and ordered, "Let's eat!"
After seated.
Wu Weiwei discovered that many of the dishes prepared here were the prince's favorites.
Of course, there are also some foods that He Yuyan likes to eat.
She knew it.
After He Yuyan sat down, she noticed a small dish of bamboo shoots on the table.
She looked at Wu Weiwei and her expression immediately changed.
Wu Weiwei looked at the plate of bamboo shoots placed in the middle of the table, which she had specially paid extra for.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of joy. She didn't want this either!
I haven't had an appetite these past few days.
She heard that many bamboo shoots were planted near the palace, and she had a particular fondness for them.
It was only a matter of two taels of silver, so he instructed Wanqiu to have the kitchen prepare a small dish.
Who knew the prince would invite her to dine with the female lead? This is truly not her fault.
Seeing that He Yuyan's expression was not good, Lu Hanting followed her gaze.
Then you see a plate of stir-fried green peppers and bamboo shoots, which are delicious and appetizing.
Thinking of the long-standing rumors at the Marquis's mansion about Yan'er stealing Wei'er's food, Lu Hanting looked at Wu Weiwei.
Then he saw her looking back at him with an innocent expression.
"Your Highness, please have a bite!"
This small dish of bamboo shoots was made by the kitchen at my own expense; they're crisp, sweet, and incredibly fresh.
As she spoke, Wu Weiwei took the serving chopsticks and put a bite on the prince's plate.
He had invited them over for dinner on a whim.
So it's unlikely that Wei'er deliberately provoked Yan'er by having someone cook bamboo shoots for her.
Wu Weiwei's enthusiasm was truly hard for Lu Hanting to refuse.
Under He Yuyan's intense gaze, he reluctantly opened his mouth to accept Wu Weiwei's feeding.
……
"Yan'er, eat quickly! The food will get cold if you don't eat soon."
Seeing that He Yuyan still hadn't touched her chopsticks, Lu Hanting looked at her awkwardly and said...
"Yes, sister, I heard that you, like me, love bamboo shoots the most."
Why don't you try the stir-fried green peppers and bamboo shoots that the kitchen made today? See if you like it!
Wu Weiwei smiled sweetly at her.
Don't they all love eating bamboo shoots?
Not only does he love eating bamboo shoots, but he also specifically eats the wicked bamboo shoot that is the Crown Prince.
Urged on by the two, He Yuyan, with a cool and aloof expression, picked up a plate of bamboo shoots from the table.
Wu Weiwei realized today that the prince's strategy for winning over the female lead seems to have changed.
He changed his previous taboo against being intimate with the female lead in front of her, and now he deliberately tries to make her jealous.
Ha ha.
sure!
If that's the case, then she will grant his wish.
Wu Weiwei quietly took off her embroidered shoes.
Her alluring long legs began to tease the man sitting next to her under the table.
The prince's face was flushed red as he stared at Wu Weiwei with a gloomy expression.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is there something on my face?"
Wu Weiwei looked at him without the slightest fear.
"Also, why is your face so red? You haven't had any alcohol today. Is it because it's too hot today?"
At this point, her feet were already resting on his upper thighs.
Go ahead and flirt!
Let's see if he can withstand his ultimate move.
He Yuyan was confused.
Looking at the prince's flushed face, she asked curiously, "Prince, are you feeling unwell?"
"Why don't you let Yan'er take your pulse?"
Hahaha……
Not to mention the young master, even Wu Weiwei herself was almost unable to hold back.
A smile played on her lips as she looked at the prince with a seductive air.
"Yes, Your Highness, why don't we let Sister He take your pulse?"
Perhaps you have excessive blood and energy, and your sister needs to prescribe some medicine to reduce internal heat for you…”
