Then, a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That's better. If you and my sister can get close, everyone will be happy. However, my brother-in-laws are not easy to save fuel, so you can only be my brother Yanjin, and you will never be in this life." Be my brother-in-law Yan Jin."
It turned out that she had made up her mind that she would have nothing to do with Li Man, Yan Jin couldn't help but laugh.
"Then you know that I like your sister, and you are willing to do like me? Don't you think, I just want to find your sister's shadow in you?"
Shangguan Xue had thought about this a long time ago, and knew that this was probably the case, but he never expected that he would say it outright, and immediately his nose was sour, and his eyes felt a little bitter.
She sniffed and tried to smile at him, "So what? I have liked you since I was a child, and I still like you when I grow up. I want to be with you. If it is because of my sister, would you like to be with me?" , I am also happy. Owning it is better than watching it from a distance for a lifetime."
In fact, she has always known that she is just a substitute, but even if she is a substitute, she can stay by his side, which makes her lucky to have such a sister. In any case, she still took a shortcut, which is better than those who want to be a substitute. A woman who cannot do it is strong.
She actually has this kind of logic? Yan Jin was very surprised, and at the same time, the softest string in his heart seemed to be plucked, which made him a little erratic, and even a little happy.
"Stupid." He didn't know how to comment on her words, so he had no choice but to reach out and rub her hair, "Well, look at you being so stupid, this king will show kindness and help her once."
"En." Shangguan Xue's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with surprise.
He actually agreed to himself, and the way he looked at himself seemed a little gentler than before.
"Thank you." Probably because her heart was filled with joy, she got excited and stood on tiptoe, trying her best to kiss Yan Jin's face.
Yan Jin froze slightly, staring at the little thing in a daze, looking like she had succeeded in stealing, watching her blushing and smiling as she ran away, unable to recover for a while.
no
Surprised that she would secretly kiss herself, but surprised that he didn't take the initiative to avoid it, and he could completely avoid it with his reaction.
Could it be that he wanted her to succeed too
The slender fingers gently caressed the cheek kissed by her, and it seemed that her breath of blue was still on it.
Yan Jinjun's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were filled with a smile that could not extinguish the holy spirit.
"Here, silly girl." The daring one even dared to kiss him.
After Shangguanxue did this daring thing, she trotted away. After running for a long time, she realized that, damn it, she actually ran to a deserted courtyard where no one lived in it for a long time.
Just as she was about to go back, when she turned around, she saw Li Man, and she was shocked, "Sister, why are you here?"
"Oh, I just went out for a walk, and saw a silly girl running and running. I yelled a lot but got no response, so I followed curiously, wanting to see what hooked my Xue'er, and made her act stupidly. You know you ran away?"
Li Man walked towards her step by step with a smirk.
Shangguan Xue suddenly felt a little guilty, and just stood still, thinking about what happened with Yan Jin just now, her heart beat faster and her cheeks were burning hot.
Li Man came over, looked at her carefully, and then looked around the yard, amused, "There is nothing here except weeds and mosquitoes."
"Sister." Shangguan Xue raised her head and glanced at her, seeing something wrong with Li Man's eyes, she asked suspiciously, "Did you see something just now?"
"Well, I saw everything." Li Man nodded, and then added, "I heard everything too."
"Ah? What is it?" Shangguan Xue prayed silently in her heart, it must not be about her and Yan Jin.
Li Man looked at her, a little distracted, such a beautiful, kind and simple girl, is she really going to take advantage of Yan Jin
"Xue'er, have you really thought about it? You are in love with him now, and you don't care about anything, but what about the future? He is a prince. He had a woman before you, and maybe there will be another woman after you. At that time, what will you do? Can you bear this?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xue knew sadly that her sister probably had a panoramic view of the scene just now, and her little face became even more feverish.
"Sister." She lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "I have thought about what you said, but compared to not being able to be with him, these are nothing at all."
"Even if you can be with him, have you thought about it? After entering his palace, can you see him every day? Or, how long can you get his favor? Share him with so many women... "
"Sister," Shangguanxue suddenly mustered up her courage and interrupted her, "Have you thought about your brothers-in-law?"
Li Man was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Xue smiled slightly, "I am in the same position as my brothers-in-law. I know that my brothers-in-law love you very much, so they are willing to be with you like this, even if each of them wants to have you alone in their hearts."
"It's different." Li Man argued weakly.
Shangguan Xue said, "It's the same, sister, I also love Yan Jin, just like the other women in his house love him. I can't stop other women from loving him, and I can't get rid of the women around him. The only thing I can do is to love him as much as I can. As long as he loves me now, I will be happy. Even if this love can last only one day, I will be happy for one day. If it lasts for a year, I will be happy for a year It's better than finding someone you don't love at random in the future and wasting your whole life."
Unexpectedly, when this girl was so eloquent, Li Man couldn't find any words to refute for a while, so she just persuaded, "Xue'er, think about it again, at least, let's talk about it when you are old enough."
"I can't wait, sister." Shangguan Xue said to her excitedly, "I have liked him since the first time I saw him when I was six years old. After all these years, I thought I hated him. But in fact, when we meet again, I find that I like him more, sister, I know you will say that I am still young and ignorant. But let me tell you, no one knows myself better than me at this moment. I want him, If I want to love him, time cannot stand wasted, and the world is impermanent, I want to love him as much as I can when I can, as long as he is willing to let me approach, I will not give up."
☆、Special episode 137 foodie
Li Man didn't know how she got back. Along the way, she kept repeating Shangguan Xue's words in her mind, always feeling like she was being taught by this girl.
But, is it true
Momentary happiness can replace a lifetime? When the passion is gone, and the man she loves no longer loves herself as deeply as before, can she bear it
However, a child is not a fish, so how do you know the leisure time of a fish
This girl has already talked about this point, and Li Man believes that she has thought it through carefully, and also believes that her heart at this time is sincere.
Then, all she can do is to do her duty as a sister, silently guard her, and hope that she can achieve the happiness she wants.
Even if she is lost in the future, at least there will be Shangguanfu, her elder sister, and her brother-in-law will be by her side and be her strong backing.
Moreover, she also benefited a lot from Xueer's words.
Yes, her men have paid far more than she imagined.
She also wants to do her best to love them, so as to live up to their deep love.
After returning to the house, Li Man looked at the men with different eyes, sweet and soft, as if wrapped in honey, entangled the sweetness and warmth in their hearts.
"Daughter-in-law, why do you look at us like this?" Li Shu couldn't help but ask her curiously.
"I like you guys." Li Man said with a smile.
"Cough." Li Mo's eyes flickered slightly, but luckily they were the only ones in the room.
Li Shu quickly hugged his wife, "I like you too."
"En." Li Man took a deep breath in satisfaction.
Li Yan stared at her scrutinizingly, "It's all right, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Li Hua also looked at her strangely, always felt that something was wrong with the daughter-in-law. Although she was more relaxed than when she first came to the Li family, she was not bold enough to say such things in front of all their brothers.
Hey, those men who don't know how to behave, Li Man met their eyes and raised her eyebrows helplessly, "Come on, just pretend I'm confused and talk nonsense."
It seems that the life of their family has to be so ordinary, and occasionally they want to have a little passion, and they can only take advantage of it when it is dark alone, otherwise, I don't know what they will think about.
"Heh." Li Yan smiled lightly, and handed her a drawing, "Here, this is the decoration drawing of the gourmet shop. It's designed according to what you said. You'll be satisfied after looking at it."
"Ah." Li Man was very surprised. Regarding the idea of opening a gourmet shop, but it was only a few days ago, I discussed it with Li Mo that day, and at night, taking advantage of the time, I told Li Yan about the idea. I didn't expect this guy. In that situation, he actually listened to her words
Li Man looked at him with a smile, and said from the bottom of her heart, "Li Yan, you are so kind."
Especially after seeing the shop's decoration pattern, I was even more excited beyond words, "This is even better than I imagined, especially the piano platform in the middle, I am so satisfied."
While boasting, while looking at it carefully, I just feel that everything is in line with my own wishes.
Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you like it, I just sketched a rough picture, and the rest of the coloring was done by the fourth brother."
Li Hua smiled slightly, and said modestly, "I don't have much feeling, I just saw it elsewhere and thought it was good, so I used it."
"Well, that's good." Li Man folded the blueprint in satisfaction, and handed it to Li Yan, "If you think it's okay, then we can start construction on another day."
"En." Li Yan nodded, and glanced at Li Mo, who was silent at the side, "The silk shop's business has only picked up, and my fourth brother and I are a little busy, and the decoration of the new shop is done by Brother Lao and the third brother. "
Hearing this, Li Mo had a pleasant smile on his handsome face, "Okay, leave this to me and my third brother."
Li Man sneaked a glance at Li Yan, feeling more and more that he was careful and considerate.
Li Shu is okay. Li Mo has been working hard on the family's livelihood since he was a child. He is used to working. When he was in Shennvgou, he got up the earliest every day. Do something about it, weave baskets, build a fence, or visit your own fields.
But as soon as he came to Shangguan Mansion, he had nothing to do, so he stayed with the children all day long.
He is a very traditional man, if he can't use his hands to make his family live comfortably, he will feel unhappy.
Especially when Li Yan and Li Hua were busy going in and out all day, but he couldn't exert himself at all. On the surface, he seemed to be fine, but Li Man knew that he must be suffering in his heart.
This time it's alright, the renovation of the new shop will take at least a long time.
When someone is busy, he will not feel that he is useless, and he will not be bored.
The whole family discussed some things about the new shop, and after talking, they talked about food.
Recalling yesterday that Li Shu and Li Hua said they wanted to eat fish, Li Man was in a good mood, so she wanted to cook for them in the evening.
And this evening, the Li family got another piece of good news.
The news was delivered by Zhang Jing himself. It turned out that His Highness the Crown Prince thought that Xiao Wu of the Li family was smart and studious, so he made an exception and allowed him to attend the Imperial College.
The lecturers there were all great contemporary Confucianists. Hearing the news, Li Hua was also very excited. He immediately called Xiao Wu out of the room and told him the news.
However, Xiao Wu was not Li Hua, and he was not very happy when he heard the news.
However, he is a child, and others don't care whether he is willing or not. They only think that this is a rare learning opportunity.
Tang means that the whole family expresses their gratitude to the prince.
Zhang Jing took the opportunity to take Li Man outside the door, and whispered to her, "Actually, if you want to repay His Highness the Prince's kindness, you don't need to kowtow or something. Why don't you take the barbecue and skewers you made yesterday?" , and those snacks, make some of the same, and I will send it to the Prince's Mansion myself. How about it?"
"Ah?" Li Man was a little surprised, "Send those things to the Crown Prince's residence? Can the Crown Prince eat them?"
"Yes, as long as you make it, the prince will like it." Zhang Jingsheng said hurriedly, afraid that she would not like it.
Li Man looked at him suspiciously, "But, these things are delicious after being baked, and I'm afraid the taste will change when you send them over."
"How about, when you are free, go to the Prince's Mansion with me and make a meal for the Prince himself?" Zhang Jing quickly asked.
Li Man snorted and laughed, "Isn't it? Just for a meal? Zhang Jing, did you say something in front of the prince?"
Zhang Jing's face froze, a little ashamed, "It's not me, it's Qing. After leaving you that night, he went to the Prince's Mansion and showed off in front of Dan."
"So, the prince also wants to have a meal?" Li Man felt a little funny when he heard it, and dared to feel that the prince was like a child, and he was angry with others for food
Zhang Jing nodded helplessly, "Man'er, just agree."
"Well." Li Man rolled her eyes, seeming a little embarrassed, "You have to ask my husbands, after all, I'm a woman, and it's not good to show my face every day."
Zhang Jing felt cold, did she feel like a woman at this moment? Usually, he didn't think she had such thoughts. Although she looked delicate, he discovered the toughness in her bones.
After all, it's not someone who has won the grace of the crown prince and can be as calm and calm as her, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Man'er, just agree? Quandang help me." Zhang Jing begged with a bitter face. It was clearly Situ Qing who caused the trouble, but let him bear the consequences. It was hard work.
"Oh." Li Man looked at him, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them later, and I'll go when the sky clears."
"Then tomorrow." Zhang Jing took advantage of the situation and chased after him.
Li Man was startled, "Is the prince so greedy?"
"Yeah." The point is that every time that bitch Situ Qing got a good deal here, he would go to the prince and say it, which made the prince very upset, and secretly forced him to do it, otherwise If so, he will be rewarded with a few wives and concubines.
He doesn't want a woman yet, especially if His Highness the Crown Prince rewards him, so why don't he make an offering like a bodhisattva when he gets it back? He doesn't want it.
So, in the middle of the afternoon, when it was cooler, he rushed over.
Asking Xiao Wu to attend is actually just a cover, the purpose is to let Li Man go to the Prince's Mansion to cook a meal for the Prince himself.
Hey, it's really embarrassing for this to spread.
Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Li Man chuckled, "Okay, then you guys prepare the ingredients first, such as seasonings, I still have them, I just take them with me."
"Well, then it's settled." Zhang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said again, "By the way, what delicious food to cook tonight? I heard Li Shu and the others say what kind of fish feast it is?"
"Heh, it's just a few fish dishes. It's an exaggeration to say that it's a banquet." Li Man said.
Zhang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he begged again, "Well, Man'er, you burn an extra portion of each, and I'll take it away at night."
"Aren't you eating here?" Li Man was surprised.
Zhang Jing smiled wryly, "I'm afraid the prince wants to taste it, so I will send a copy tonight."
Li Man's head is full of black lines, how dare this prince is also a foodie through and through
"It's hot today, I'm afraid I'll get bored, I'll go tomorrow, let's do it together." Li Man said.
Zhang Jingzhan smiled, "Don't worry about it, I have my own way to keep these dishes from spoiling."
"Huh?" Can't it be bad in such a hot day? Li Man was very suspicious, but in fact, she really worried too much.
When she was cooking, Zhang Jing waited aside, and when she cooked everything, he packed another portion, and then sent someone to rush to the Prince's residence.
Heh, so it can be done for food, Li Man laughed.
☆、Special episode 138 Xueyi
That night, when they learned that Li Man was going to the Prince's Mansion to cook food for the Prince, all the men in the Li family turned pale.
Sure enough, there is another foodie, and this time he is still a powerful and powerful prince
It seems that the Li family has not stopped in the future.
In the end, after a few men discussed secretly, they gave advice to the daughter-in-law.
Among them, Li Shu's is the most poisonous, and it is suggested to put a nail in the prince's food.
Li Hua is the most evil, even suggesting that she get some cockroaches, rats, and the like mixed into the food, so that the prince will be disgusted once he eats it, and he will not dare to come again.
Of course, Li Mo and Li Yan were a little more reliable, suggesting that she should not perform properly, such as adding some salt, or, if the heat is too high, let the food become charcoal and so on.
Anyway, the prince has never cooked before, so he doesn't know how the food comes from.
If you tell him that the salty or burnt food is the legendary delicacy, maybe he will believe it.
Li Man didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, she just sat idly by the side, fanned the cattail fan, and watched the men pour out their money, and suddenly thought, how can her men be so cute
"Daughter-in-law, what's your idea?" After talking for a long time, Li Shu, who was obviously at a disadvantage in eloquence, finally asked his daughter-in-law for help, "According to my idea, knock out the prince's teeth, so that he won't dare to eat you again next time." something to do."
"Oh, that's it." Li Man laughed, and patted Li Shu's arm lightly with her fan, "Then the crown prince will blame me, what should I do?"
"It's because he didn't eat carefully." Li Shu said.
"Okay, you guys." Li Man knew that they were afraid that the prince would get used to eating, and she would be busy in the future. However, he is the prince, so why would he want to eat the food she made every day, but Just greedy for a while.
What's more, if the crown prince likes to eat, doesn't it mean that her cooking is good
Li Man is very confident about this, "Don't worry, if the prince gets used to eating this time, let him come to our restaurant next time. Hey, if you want to eat, just pay the money."
"How is it possible?" Li Shu snorted, "The prince will come to our store?"
"If you don't come, you won't have anything to eat." Li Man was full of confidence, "As long as he likes to eat, he has to buy it. Hey, if the prince buys food in our store, if the news spreads, wouldn't it be a free advertisement Is it? I can assure you that there will be a lot of business coming without us shouting."
"Wonderful?" Li Yan poured cold water on her, "Even if the crown prince knows how to buy it, he won't let others know, let alone buy it himself."
If you want to use others for advertising, don't be eaten by them first.
Li Man thought so too, the prince is very low-key, how could he favor them so much
However, it doesn't matter, he is the prince, and if the relationship is handled well, they will not suffer.
After discussing and discussing, Li Man didn't listen to anyone's ideas. She still made up her mind to show her hand in front of the prince.
She always feels that food has a magical power, which can bring people closer together.
There has always been an inexplicable relationship between her and Yan Dan, and it may involve Guan Yu, her predecessor.
However, now she still hopes that they can be more like friends.
I also hope that they can really let go of the past and get to know each other again.
The idea is certain, Li Man got up early the next morning, packed up the equipment and various seasonings that were in hand, and followed Zhang Jing's carriage and left.
The Prince's Mansion was not far away, and arrived in a short time. The guard at the gate probably knew Zhang Jing too well, so he let him in without asking any questions.
I thought I would meet the prince himself, at least Li Man felt that she could ask him about his taste face to face, but Zhang Jing took her directly to a large clean kitchen, where all the fish, melons, fruits and vegetables were washed, peeled, and arranged neatly. Neatly, there are more than a dozen maids who do odd jobs, standing in a hurry, waiting for her instructions.
Cook a meal and still have these people serving? That day, she asked Yunyan and the girls to help her. In fact, she just wanted Yunyan to experience some joyful and noisy atmosphere.
"Well, let's keep two of them, and let the rest go out." Li Man said to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing looked at the girls' houses in a row, and said with a smile, "Then you can choose by yourself, and let them go if they are not suitable."
How does this feel like following a draft pick in the palace? Moreover, look at those maidservants, all of them are pretty and charming, but, do they work? Why not? Especially not like working in the kitchen.
After sweeping her eyes, Li Man picked out two girls who were a little thicker, "It's just you two, and the rest can go down and rest."
"Ah?" As soon as she finished the selection, the two girls who were selected were happy, but the others were not happy, and surrounded Li Man one after another begging coquettishly.
"Girl, please stay with us? We must learn from you."
"Learn from me?" Li Man was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jing. She came to make food, not to teach apprentices.
Zhang Jing was also helpless, waved his hand to screen these girls away, and explained to Li Man alone, "Well, to be honest with you, these are maids sent by the wives in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion."
As we all know, the prince has not yet married a concubine, not even a side concubine, but this does not mean that there are no women in his prince's mansion. On the contrary, before Yandan became the prince, according to the usual practice, the royal family would also be in his mansion. The boss arranged some women to wait and sleep, that is, these so-called
Mrs. Tang.
And after becoming the prince, there are more people who take the initiative to send women to the prince. The people who take the initiative even include the emperor, the queen, and even all kinds of people who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.
Therefore, the prince's backyard is also very lively.
However, who would have thought that the prince has always been indifferent to women, and it seems that he has never heard of any woman. Moreover, the prince is already twenty-two years old, and he has no sons and daughters under his knees. Not only the women in his backyard In a hurry, the emperor's empress was also in a hurry.
If it is really because the prince has a hidden disease and cannot marry a wife and have children, then the position of the prince may not be guaranteed.
So, probably for the sake of their men returning to normal, these women are racking their brains every day to please and get close to Yan Dan.
No, I don't know where they got the news recently. It is said that the prince likes to eat dishes cooked by a certain woman, and he specially invited them to the mansion. Therefore, they tried their best to dismiss the cook, and dispatched powerful Maid, I came here to learn art, only hoping to learn some superficial skills, so that I can serve the prince in the future.
Zhang Jingyuan also felt that something was wrong, but thinking about the women in the Prince's Mansion, they were really pitiful. They didn't even have a chance to compete for favor, because they were all unfavorable, so they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win.
After he finished explaining, Li Man really didn't know what to say about him, so she just gave him a thumbs up and gave him the title of 'Friend of Women'.
"Just learn, but it doesn't guarantee that they will be favored by this?"
If a little delicious food can handle the crown prince, why are these women mixed up like this
Zhang Jing smiled helplessly, who said no? The people around the prince are also looking forward to a strange woman, so hurry up and accept the prince.
All the maids who were waiting outside were called in. Because they came with a mission, Li Man also expressed sympathy, so she paid extra attention during the teaching process.
The originally relaxed kitchen has now become her teaching place. Moreover, these maids are also working hard to learn. If a piece of meat steak is burnt, it will be replaced immediately, and even the skewers will bloom.
Looking at the wasted ingredients in the trash can, Li Man rubbed her forehead repeatedly, feeling that something was wrong.
In the end, in order to save time, and fearing that the crown prince would be in a hurry, Li Man simply made a copy and asked Zhang Jing to send it first, and then supervise the maids.
However, before these people had fully learned it, Zhang Jing came back and said that the crown prince wanted to see her.
It was within her expectation that the prince saw her, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
But when the maids knew about this, everyone speculated about Li Man's relationship with the prince, and some said that soon, there would be another wife in the prince's mansion.
Therefore, some people suspected that Li Man didn't teach them carefully, otherwise, why would the taste of their cooking always be bad
Here, Li Man doesn't know that others suspect her so much, she is just curious to see how greedy the prince is, and will invite her here specially.
When I arrived at a Yishui Pavilion, I saw Prince Yandan holding a knife and fork, but he was at a loss for the steak on the plate. Then, he put it down again, picked up the skewers from another plate, put it to his nose and sniffed it. Hesitantly slowly put it into his mouth.
Li Man looked at it and smiled, "Prince, this mutton skewer will be more delicious with some seasoning."
Hearing Li Man's voice, the prince was overjoyed and turned to look at her with smiles in his eyes.
"What seasoning?" He put down the skewers and got up to meet her.
Li Man went into the pavilion with Zhang Jing, looked at several small bowls on the table, took one from it, dug some with a spoon, sprinkled it evenly on one of the skewers, and handed it to Yan Dan, " Here, try it."
Yan Dan happily took it, and took a bite, but it was so spicy that it hit his throat. He himself is not very good at spicy food, but he couldn't spit out the meat in front of her, so he could only swallow it. Jun's face turned red.
☆、Extra 139 Family
Seeing him like this, Li Man knew that he couldn't eat spicy food, so she handed him a glass of fruit juice, and said, "Prince, this skewer is delicious only with salt and pepper and cumin, you can't It’s a pity to eat spicy food.”
Yan Dan was a little embarrassed, took the juice, took a sip, only felt that it was sweet and refreshing, very refreshing, and couldn't help drinking a few more sips, and then asked, "What is this? It tastes so good?"
"Sydney juice, I just made it in the morning. It's very fresh. I added some rock sugar, so it's sweet." Li Man introduced.
"Well, this one is good." Yan Dan praised the pear juice straight away, but didn't dare to taste Mu's skewer again.
Zhang Jing watched from the sidelines, only having fun secretly. He knew that the crown prince couldn't eat spicy food, so he didn't tell Li Man.
"Sit." Yan Dan beckoned Li Man to sit across from her, and then, looking at the food on the table, she didn't seem to know which one to eat first, so she asked, "You made these, please introduce them to me. Which is the tastiest?"
"Everything is delicious." Li Man said with a smile, picking up two skewers, sprinkled some cumin, and handed one to Zhang Jing, while she ate one and said, "You If you can’t eat spicy food, then don’t put any seasoning, just eat it like this, the roasted meat will be crispy.”
"Oh." Seeing that Li Man and Zhang Jing were eating with gusto, Yan Dan hesitated to take a bunch, and slowly bit off a piece, and when he ate it, it was really fragrant and crispy, delicious.
"Well, the taste is really good." He sincerely praised it, no wonder Situ Qing ate it once, and then went to him to show it off several times.
After eating several skewers in a row, Yan Dan felt that the taste got better the more he ate, but he felt a little disgusted whether Zhang Jing ate too much.
Owing to Yandan's disgusting eyes from time to time, Zhang Jing wisely said that people have three urgencies, and they should go first for convenience.
Yan Dan was right, he ran away in a hurry.
But this time, I didn't see him back for a long time.
In the pavilion, only Yan Dan and Li Man were left, they didn't talk much, they just ate the skewers silently, within a short time, most of the skewers were wiped out.
She came with a full breakfast, but before it was lunch time, she ate a lot, and Li Man's stomach was full soon, but seeing that Zhang Jing didn't come, she was embarrassed to leave Yan Dan here to eat alone.
It's just, it's very strange, it doesn't matter if Zhang Jing doesn't come back, the prince is here, why doesn't he even have a waiter around him
Just the two of them sitting in this pavilion felt quite weird.
"Prince, I have been out for a long time. If you don't worry about the child, I will go back first. Take your time."
Finally, Li Man couldn't bear the embarrassment, and got up first to say goodbye.
Yan Dan looked up at her, and smiled slightly, "You have been busy for half a day, and I haven't thanked you enough yet."
"You're welcome, I've eaten a lot of these skewers." Li Man said with a smile, looking out of the pavilion, hoping that Zhang Jing would come back soon, otherwise, even if the crown prince asked her to leave, she would not know how to leave. .
The prince's mansion is very big, and when she came in, Zhang Jing took her with her, but if she was allowed to go out alone, she would definitely get lost.
"Zhang Jing will be back in a while, you sit with me for a while." Yan Dan said.
Li Man bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, then sat down, looked at Yan Dan and asked, "Prince, why are you alone? There must be someone waiting by your side."
If there are maids and servants, you can also tell them to look for Zhang Jing. Could it be that they fell into the latrine
"Heh." Yan Dan smiled softly, looked at her and said, "If I said that I deliberately didn't let them follow, what would you think?"
"Me?" Li Man was taken aback, what does it matter to her? "I don't think much about it. They are the prince's people. Naturally, you can do whatever you want."
Yan Jin laughed again when he heard the words, "Yes, the crown prince is surrounded by a lot of people every day, it's very annoying, no, if you come today, I just want to be quiet and quiet."
Li Man also laughed dryly.
Yan Dan was still eating the skewers, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Does this make you restless when you're with the Crown Prince?"
"No." Li Man laughed dryly, "I just don't know what to do."
"Tell me something about you? I heard that you intend to open a gourmet restaurant?" Yan Dan asked.
Li Man nodded, "Yes, it is under preparation."
"Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked enthusiastically.
Li Man thought for a while, "Not yet, I will mention it to you, the prince, when it is necessary."
"Okay, that's the deal." Yan Dan looked very happy.
Li Man saw that he was smiling, and he smiled very nicely, so she also smiled knowingly, "Prince, in fact, you should smile often."
"Oh?" Yan Dan seemed very interested in what she said.
Li Man said, "It's been ten years since you smiled. Laughing more is not only good for yourself, but also good for the people around you."
"It makes sense." Yan Dan agreed.
Li Man was overjoyed, so she also told about the maids learning art from her in the morning.
Yan Dan still had a smile on his face when he heard the words, but there was an expression that people couldn't see clearly in his deep eyes.

"Actually, they are also kind. They want to make it for you, the prince, after learning it well. You should be happy when you think about their intentions."

"Cough." These words... Yan Dan felt very strange, he had never thought about women, let alone children
"What's the matter? Drink some juice." Thinking that he was choking, Li Man offered the juice.
