The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

Ji Yan said he really cooked the dishes himself, even though he only cooked two dishes.

"It's delicious," Chu Bainiao praised his senior brother with his sparkling eyes, "But you are not in good health, so you should go to the kitchen less often in the future."

Ji Yan's eyes darkened a little, "Your Highness, I heard from my brothers that you don't come to the backyard often. If Your Highness likes the dishes I cook, can I cook them for you every day in the future?"

"I only hope that the prince can come and see me."

Chu Bainiao paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and she said, "Xiao Yan, I have said before that you are different in my heart."

"If you want to see me, send someone to tell me. I will come when I am free."

"Your Highness..." Ji Yan's eyes, as white as autumn water, were slightly damp, "You are so kind to me."

Chu Bainiao picked up a dish for him and said, "Be good, eat first."

After lunch, Chu Bainiao went out to do some work, and Ji Yan did not go to the backyard to join in the fun, as the mines laid in the morning had already been laid.

I have had such a great time in the palace these past few years.

Isn't it time to stop wasting time?

Ji Yan was lying leisurely on the swing in the yard, holding a newly published storybook in his hand and reading it with great addiction.

For several days in a row, Chu Bainiao had meals with his senior brother. The men in the backyard started to act up again. Some of them imitated Ji Yan and cooked dishes and made soup by themselves, wanting to invite people over.

Chu Bainiao's reply was that except for the news from Ji Yanyuan, all other news would be blocked, with an attitude of only taking one scoop from the vast ocean.

Of course, for the sake of her senior brother's safety, she specially assigned a few secret guards to protect him.

Everyone in the courtyard saw that neither the literary (invitation) nor the physical (drugging) approach would work, especially since the housekeeper had been hinting at leaving the house intentionally or unintentionally recently.

Some of the older ones started to panic.

Led by Master Liu, they sent someone to invite Ji Yan to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to play cards.

Ji Yan went of course.

After playing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for a while, Master Liu finally explained his purpose: "Xiao Ji, has the prince been dining in your courtyard recently?"

Ji Yan nodded with a smile, but he also inadvertently revealed a hint of just the right amount of sadness, "The prince is coming to the courtyard to have dinner with me."

Ji Yan didn't say a word, but everyone at the table who was paying attention to his facial expression was trying to guess what he meant.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

bad!

The prince is not attracted by such a beautiful young man like Xiao Ji? Although he looks a little sickly, he has a unique charm!

bad!

The prince wouldn't like women, would he? Could it be that they are brothers because they are just friends? ? ?

Ji Yan looked at their faces which became colorful as if a paint palette had been overturned. He didn't care how outrageous their guesses were and just played a card.

"Yeah, I won~"

Everyone:...

Young Master Liu reluctantly handed over the silver and asked tentatively, "Xiao Ji, we are good to you, right?"

Ji Yan nodded in confusion, "My brothers are very nice to me."

Young Master Liu looked at the others and said, "Look, I'm already 21 years old this year, and I'm not young anymore. You have a good relationship with the prince, can you help us ask the prince..."

"Let us out of the house?"

Ji Yan groaned and said hesitantly, "I don't dare to tell the prince. When the prince has a cold face and doesn't speak, he is so fierce..."

Ji Yan: No, he was quite excited when the prince had a cold face and didn’t say anything.

Ji Yan: What should he do if the prince looks at him like trash but has to accept him?

Seeing Ji Yan's embarrassment, several people looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and handed over the valuables in their hands, "Xiao Ji, help me, we are all men."

Ji Yan reluctantly took the gold and silver jewelry and replied softly: "Okay~"

On that day, Chu Bainiao came to accompany her senior brother for dinner as usual. After dinner, her senior brother sat on the swing in the yard and looked at her, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Chu Bai Niao asked: "What's wrong? Ask if you have anything to ask."

Ji Yan bit his lip, and looked over with some uneasiness in his beautiful eyes, "I'm afraid that if I tell the prince, he will be angry, and he will ignore me because of this."

The system watching the show silently: I’m dying of laughter. If you were really scared, wouldn’t you keep silent?

Chu Bai Niao said helplessly: "Just say what you want to say. I won't be angry or ignore you, okay?"

Ji Yan lowered his head and said timidly: "Today when I was playing cards with my brothers, they asked me if I could ask you to let them leave the house."

Let them out of the house? Chu Bainiu wanted it the most.

She looked strange and said, "Of course you can. I told you when you moved in that you can leave anytime you want. Why do you have to beg me?"

Moreover, she had explained this to the housekeeper a few days ago, and asked him to find a way to send some people away. By sending some away, she meant to prepare enough money for them to live without worries for the rest of their lives.

Ji Yan smiled softly when he heard that, and looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Because my brothers all think that I have a good relationship with the prince."

"Your Majesty, you come to eat with me every day. You are so kind to me."

Chu Bai Niao smiled and said, "Is it good for you to eat with you every day?"

Ji Yan nodded.

Chu Bainiao smiled, thinking that his senior brother had no worries in this world, he couldn't help but walk over and touch his head with some heartache, "Be good."

After returning to the room, Chu Bai Niao called the housekeeper over and said, "Tomorrow you go to the backyard and gather those men together and notify them. If anyone wants to leave the house, give them some money and let them leave."

"If there are brothers of soldiers who want to leave the palace, we will give them money and send some people to protect them."

The butler responded, "Yes."

The next morning, the butler invited all the young masters to the backyard and conveyed the prince's intention. Immediately, more than a dozen people went to the butler to leave their names.

There were still some who were hesitant, so after Master Liu and his companions told them their guesses, they reluctantly went over to leave their names.

Ji Yan was just watching with a smile at first, but when he saw that a few people who didn't want to leave also decided to leave after hearing what Master Liu and the others said.

I couldn't help but be curious about what they were talking about.

So I went forward to join in the fun.

"What are you talking about?"

The men gathered together were startled by the sudden sound, and their guilty reactions further proved that they were talking about something serious.

Young Master Liu turned around and saw that it was Ji Yan. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be Little Ji. How come you walk without making any sound? It's scary."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Obviously the brothers were too engrossed in their conversation. It's none of my business."

"I want to know what the brothers are talking about."

Young Master Liu and the others were still very confident in Ji Yan. Apart from anything else, they trusted him greatly because he helped the prince let them leave the palace.

So he signaled him to send the male servant away and then talk in private.

The waiter received a look from Ji Yan and left obediently.

Young Master Liu looked at Ji Yan, who was as curious as a baby, and said, "We are discussing whether the prince is interested in mirror polishing."

"What? How good is the mirror polishing?" Ji Yan's perfect expression like a mask suddenly cracked with a hole of shock.

Young Master Liu thought that Ji Yan was too young to know, and he even asked, "Little Ji, don't you know the benefits of polishing a mirror? The benefits of polishing a mirror are that women like women."
