After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

"Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, what a joke! Zhu Yu muttered softly while quickening his pace and running forward.

Prince Jing was only wearing thin underwear and could not catch up immediately. However, when he heard Zhu Yu's whisper, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself: You care so much about who I am thinking of, but you keep saying that you don't like me.

If she really cared so much, then he wouldn't mind finding an appropriate time to explain it to her.

In fact, Prince Jing knew from the beginning that Liu Yinyin had ulterior motives, but so what? He was still young at that time, and the people around him either spoke ill of him, beat him up, or avoided him, fearing that they would be implicated if they were not careful. Only Liu Yinyin secretly brought him steamed buns, accompanied him in the small courtyard to talk about everything, recited poems for him, and watched him write. Regardless of her original intention, it is undeniable that he did feel her company, and this warmth and care became his only comfort and hope when he was alone, as if a beam of light in the darkness illuminated his way forward.

For those who are trapped in darkness and in the abyss, deep in their hearts, they are filled with extreme desire and yearning for light. Even if this light brings fatal danger, so what? When she is in trouble, why not give her help?

Because of his mother, he has never really cared about his children's love affairs. As he gets older, his father will sooner or later grant him a marriage. When he thought that the woman he might marry in the future was someone who had bullied or avoided him in the past, Liu Yinyin became the most ideal partner candidate.

He knew it well when Liu Yinyin resolutely abandoned him in the imperial study and turned to Zhu Yu to mock him. Even so, he still felt the pain of a knife in his heart. What made him sad was not other things, but being abandoned again, as if no one had ever chosen him resolutely without hesitation.

Now, the reason why he was willing to keep Liu Yinyin by his side was nothing more than to appreciate the affection she had poured into him in the past. From the beginning to the end, this emotion had nothing to do with a love affair between a man and a woman.

But what exactly happened between him and Zhu Yu?

Prince Jing pondered this question thoughtfully while undressing and entering the wooden barrel. Zhu Yu might not know that when she pulled down his pants in front of everyone, he was fully capable of killing her on the spot to vent his anger. After all, even though she was the daughter of the prime minister, he had just returned to the capital and had never met her before. She dared to do something so detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, and killing her was not a big deal. Could it be that his father would execute him just because of the daughter of a minister?

However, in that fleeting glimpse, he looked into her panicked and speechless eyes, and in an instant, he gave up the idea of ​​taking action. What's more, when he saw her frantically trying to pull up his pants, an indescribable smile welled up in his heart. She was the instigator, she was also the one who got into trouble, she was also at a loss, and she was still the one who fled in embarrassment in the end... All of this made him feel that the person in front of him was very interesting.

But later, after he heard about her amazing deeds from his subordinates, he felt that marrying this woman might be worse than marrying Liu Yinyin.

He began to cleverly set up traps to mislead her, sometimes deliberately saving the drowning courtesan in front of her, and sometimes hinting to her that Liu Yinyin was the one he loved in his heart. All these actions were nothing more than trying to discourage her. According to common sense, Zhu Yu should have ridiculed the courtesan like those women who tried to get close to him because his father doted on him, mocking her for being ignorant of the world; or he should have launched a fierce offensive against Liu Yinyin, trying to destroy her reputation or even take her life.

But the truth was quite unexpected - the guards who were ordered to secretly monitor Zhu Yu reported that she was willing to cooperate with him in order to make her father give up the idea of ​​marrying them. Not only that, she also admired the courtesan from the bottom of her heart and sincerely wished that he and Liu Yinyin could grow old together and be together forever.

Just when he thought Zhu Yu had no feelings for him, the situation suddenly reversed. When he was "seriously ill and dying", she mercilessly slapped Liu Yinyin in the face with her actions and stood firmly on his side. Since then, everything seemed to have changed, and the relationship between her and Liu Yinyin became extremely tense.

He had never experienced someone standing by him so firmly and protecting his feelings so wholeheartedly since he was a child. Even the nanny who had always treated him kindly and kindly like a family member always kept the proper etiquette and boundaries between master and servant. However, at this moment, Liu Yinyin seemed to bring him a new kind of emotional touch - it turned out that there were people in this world who were willing to support and protect him without reservation.

Because of this, Liu Yinyin's position in his heart became more and more special. She was not only his partner or friend, but also a warm and bright light, illuminating the lonely corner deep in his heart. This unique sense of existence made him more and more eager to spend more time and energy to understand her, get close to her, and draw more strength and courage from her.

Thus, the gears of fate began to turn, and the two were eventually forced to go to Jiangnan together to perform their mission under the will of their father. Along the way, Zhu Yu showed what he considered to be an amazing talent for cooking: whether it was the crispy and delicious baked buns, the fragrant grilled skewers, the spicy and tempting Maoxuewang, or the delicious and crispy deep-fried river shrimps and the exquisite and delicious cakes, all of them made him hungry and had an endless aftertaste, and they were very much to his taste.

At first, as a prince with a noble status and a strong sense of self-esteem, he was still a little reserved and worried, but as the days passed, he gradually let go of his so-called airs and burdens and became more casual and natural. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would involuntarily walk to Zhu Yu's place to eat and satisfy his cravings; at first, due to the large number of people and everyone's informality, every meal was always quite chaotic and noisy, which even made him feel a little uncomfortable; but over time, he got used to it and even enjoyed it.

It is worth mentioning that Zhu Yu had a big appetite, totally unlike the delicate and graceful women in ordinary officials' families. Influenced by this, he was no longer overly restrained and enjoyed the pleasure and satisfaction brought by food. Sometimes when they were in high spirits, they would even help each other to get more rice.

Now thinking carefully, if he returns to the original place, each of them goes back to their own place, and each of them moves forward along the established life path, he seems to have a resistance in his heart. So, he made up his mind to take action, seize the opportunity to be with Zhu Yu before leaving, and strive to take the relationship between the two to a higher level.

Just when Prince Jing had sorted out his complicated emotional entanglements and was ready to actively pursue the person he liked, Zhu Yu had a completely different idea.

Zhu Yu, who has been a social animal for many years, has already developed a broad-minded and generous character. She only asked herself three questions:

Is Prince Jing in love with her?

Does she have a good impression of Prince Jing?

Will what happened today be known to others?

The answer to each question is no.

In this way, nothing happens.

Then, she fell on the bed as if relieved from a heavy burden, and fell into a sweet dream in an instant.

Tomorrow, she would have to discuss with Ai Yun how to manage the property taken out of the manor, and how many manpower she would have to borrow from King Jing. It was indeed a difficult task. Moreover, Ai Yun was also planning to open a small school in the manor to teach those who had no education some simple and easy-to-understand cultural knowledge.

If they are willing, they can even follow her to learn medicine. There are so many things to do, if you can't get enough sleep and rest, how can you have a clear mind tomorrow.

That night, Prince Jing and Zhu Yu each had a dream. In Prince Jing's dream, he unexpectedly turned into Zhu Yu's personal maid, and stayed with her all day, sleeping and eating together. Whenever someone dared to bully him, Zhu Yu would stand up like an old hen protecting her chicks, and guard him closely behind her; and Zhu Yu's dream was that after going through untold hardships, she finally succeeded in conquering Prince Jing, making him a wise ruler and returning to the modern era, but after returning, she could only continue to be a humble social animal sadly. When she woke up from the dream, Zhu Yu seemed no longer so anxious to quickly conquer Prince Jing...
