The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 185 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (39)

Just because it's water gardenia.

Most of the people coming and going were holding dishes in their hands, and everyone had a happy smile on their face. Xin Zhuyou couldn't help but smile as well.

"Is this coming by yourself?"

It seems that Xin Zhuyou is not as honest as she imagined. However, his smile is still quite nice, Shui Zhizi was secretly pleased.

Without waiting for Xin Zhuyou to answer her, Shui Zhizi pointed directly to her room.

"Come in first now that you're here. I was planning to set up a table in the yard so that we can have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

But it’s too cold in your country of Lai, and the vegetables will freeze solid if left outside.

The hall couldn't accommodate so many people, so they had to put the dishes in each room and let everyone have a New Year's Eve dinner with their best friends.

So you go in first, and I’ll go in later when I see that everyone’s dishes are almost served.”

Fortunately, the mansion Xin Zhuyou found was big enough, otherwise the people who came to Lai State with her would not even have a place to live.

"I will go outside with the princess to take a look. I have never seen such a scene before."

If I said that I was shouting Princess Shui Zhizi outside the mansion just now because I was influenced by that guard.

So calling her Princess Shui Zhizi at this moment was Xin Zhuyou's willful act of wanting to temporarily forget the identity of Queen Shui Zhizi.

"It's up to you. I'll be here for a while anyway."

Shui Zhizi was smiling all the time today. Everyone in the mansion was very happy. Xin Zhuyou was a little envious.

"Hey, how about this dish?" Shui Zhizi took a plate of food and shook it in front of Xin Zhuyou.

Xin Zhuyou subconsciously took two steps back with a red face.

It was a little closer. Just now, Shui Zhizi moved closer to him so that he could smell the aroma of the food.

Shui Zhizi didn't notice Xin Zhuyou's abnormality, her mind was all on tonight's dishes.

“Your country of Lai has too few vegetables. I started preparing for this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner half a year in advance.

If you can grow vegetables, grow them yourself. If you can’t grow them, buy them from the caravan at a high price.

It took a lot of effort to get these dishes together for today, you must try them carefully later."

Xin Zhuyou's gaze uncontrollably fell on Shui Zhizi's face.

It seemed like this was the first time he had seen Shui Zhizi so happy.

Shui Zhizi casually introduced the situation and invited him to taste the dishes, which gave Xin Zhuyou a momentary illusion.

He seemed to be very close to the water gardenia.

"I will strive to ensure that the princess can eat whatever she wants in a few years."

Shui Zhizi was very considerate today and did not throw cold water on Xin Zhuyou. Instead, she said, "Let's work hard together."

Xin Zhuyou was a little dazed. It was obvious that when Shui Zhizi said this, she didn't even look at him. She was staring at the dishes in the hands of the person next to her.

But Xin Zhuyou's heart was beating uncontrollably fast. How nice it would be if he could always be so close to the princess.

But the king will go to war again next month, and he is more eager to capture Beiying and make all the court officials recognize him as the king.

Xin Zhuyou had a premonition that this would be the most difficult battle that Lai State had fought in recent years.

Princess, no matter what happens, I will protect the king. As long as the king, your husband, is here, the princess can live safely in Lai Kingdom.

As for other problems, the princess is smart enough to solve them.

Xin Zhuyou looked at Shui Zhizi's dazzling smile and thought.

As soon as Yingfu came in, he saw Xin Zhuyou's undisguised affectionate eyes.

She stood quietly beside Shui Gardenia, blocking Xin Zhuyou's sight.

She wanted King You to help the princess, but she didn't want the princess to notice King You's feelings and add to her troubles.

"Princess, I have already put out what you asked me to put out. I will make sure everyone can eat the dumplings filled with silver."

"That's good. This is everyone's first New Year in Lai Country, and we must make everyone happy."

Yingfu smiled and said, "Now that the copper coins have been changed into silver, everyone will be happy."

In order to wrap the silver into the dumplings without anyone noticing, the dumplings were made much bigger than before.

"Princess, let's go in. The only food left is the dumplings. The other dishes have been served."

"Then let's go in."

Xin Zhuyou followed the two of them into the room in silence.

Compared to the bustle in other rooms, there are only Shui Zhizi, Yingfu and Xin Zhuyou in Shui Zhizi's room.

However, this New Year's Eve dinner was not eaten in silence. Just commenting on each dish, Water Gardenia and Yingfu, could talk for a long time.

Xin Zhuyou didn't say much but he listened attentively and occasionally agreed with a few words.

Because Shui Zhizi and Yingfu never deliberately bring up topics for Xin Zhuyou, just letting Xin Zhuyou do as he pleases.

When Xin Zhuyou was willing to talk, Shui Zhizi and Yingfu listened attentively. When he was no longer willing to talk, Shui Zhizi and Yingfu just talked about their own things.

Xin Zhuyou enjoyed this New Year's Eve dinner particularly happily and comfortably.

In fact, apart from banquets in the court and occasional gatherings among ministers, Xin Zhuyou had never had such a relaxing meal with anyone.

With a crisp sound, Shui Zhizi and Yingfu looked at each other and found that there was nothing unusual in each other's expressions.

The two of them hurried to see Xin Zhuyou. It was too loud. They were afraid that his teeth might have been knocked out. They both felt a little guilty.

"Is King You all right?"

Xin Zhuyou really wanted to say it was okay, but he covered his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

Looking at Xin Zhuyou's grinning expression, Shui Zhizi and her servant felt even more guilty.

If Xin Zhuyou, who usually has no expression, could be in so much pain, then it must really be painful.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you just now. We put silver in the dumplings for a good omen, but we didn't expect it would hurt you."

Just now when Yingfu was talking about this outside, Xin Zhuyou was distracted and didn't ask anything.

Shui Zhizi and the others also forgot to tell Xin Zhuyou.

At this moment, everyone should have happily celebrated for Xin Zhuyou, but who knew that Xin Zhuyou bit so hard that he couldn't even speak.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Xin Zhuyou finally raised his head.

Shui Zhizi and Yingfu both confirmed that there was no blood in Xin Zhuyou's mouth before they felt relieved.

Shui Zhizi raised the wine glass on the table.

“It is our Dongmeng custom to put some copper coins in the dumplings, and those who eat them will have good luck.

I asked Yingfu to put plenty of food in other people’s rooms to ensure that everyone can have some.

There is only this one in my room. King You is lucky.

Then this palace and Yingfu wish King You peace and prosperity in the future."

The simplest blessing, but for a general like Xin Zhuyou, it is also the most difficult to achieve.

Xin Zhuyou almost choked up when he expressed his thanks.

It's funny to say, because of his background, he seemed to have never received such a sincere blessing without any mixed benefits, even though he was already the King You who should not be underestimated.

Just as the dumpling meant, Xin Zhuyou, who ate the only dumpling in the house that contained silver, has been lucky ever since.
