Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

However, facing Xiao Yan'er's puzzled look, Chu Zixi just smiled slightly, then stretched out her jade finger and gently pointed at herself, and continued: "In your eyes, am I such a kind-hearted person that I would be willing to help someone who has always been against me and caused trouble for me?" When she said this, a cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and the coldness seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul.

Xiao Yan'er was frightened by the sudden coldness and trembled all over. Her already pale face became even more bloodless.

She had no idea how to respond to Chu Zixi's words.

At this moment, Chu Zixi stood up and shouted at the door: "Master Yu, show the guests out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Da walked quickly into the hall and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yan'er.

Chu Zixi didn't even look at Xiao Yan'er again. She turned around and walked out of the hall without hesitation.

Only Xiao Yan'er was left with a look of astonishment and unwillingness.

Yuda's face, as stern as a sculpture, was expressionless as he said, "Princess, please."

Xiao Yan'er sat there, biting her lips tightly, her heart filled with reluctance and helplessness. She glared at Yu Da fiercely, but eventually stood up slowly, turned around and left with reluctance.

At the same time, Chu Zixi had returned to the main courtyard.

She walked to the swing in the yard and sat on it. The breeze gently blew through her hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

At this time, Xiao Cui walked out of the house quickly, holding a soft cloak in her hand.

She gently unfolded the cloak and draped it over Chu Zixi's shoulders, and said with concern: "Princess, the weather is getting colder in the morning and evening, you must not catch a cold."

Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with a gentle light in her eyes, and responded softly: "Oh, our Xiao Cui is still the most considerate."

Hearing this, Xiao Cui couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, chuckled, and said coquettishly: "The princess likes to tease me."

Seeing this, Xiaolu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but mutter, "Princess, isn't that considerate of me?" As she spoke, she pouted her lips slightly, looking a little aggrieved.

"Oh, is our Xiaolu jealous?" Chu Zixi deliberately teased Xiaolu with a smile on her face.

Xiaolu stamped her feet and yelled coquettishly: "Princess...you just bully me!"

Just then, Yu Er hurried into the yard.

She came to Chu Zixi, bowed respectfully, and then said: "Princess, the prince has something to deal with tonight, so he specially sent someone back to tell you that you don't have to wait for him."

Chu Zixi nodded, then said lightly: "I know." Then she continued to swing leisurely.

Xiao Cui smiled and asked softly, "Princess, what would you like to eat tonight? I will go and prepare it right away."

After hearing the voice, Chu Zixi slowly raised her head, frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, the corners of her cherry-like lips slightly raised, outlining a charming smile, and said softly: "With such a beautiful scenery, why don't we enjoy a hot pot together in this yard tonight?"

Xiao Cui couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and quickly responded, "Okay! Since the princess is so interested, I will go and make preparations right away."

Seeing this, Xiaolu, who was standing aside, hurriedly smiled and agreed, "Then I will go and help too." After that, the two of them hurriedly started to work.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu first walked quickly into the kitchen and started preparing all kinds of fresh ingredients.

On the chopping board, there are tender beef with a pink color and distinct texture; crystal clear, cicada-wing-thin fresh fish fillets; various green, juicy and fresh vegetables; in addition, there are a wide variety of mushrooms and a variety of soy products, etc.

All of these ingredients are carefully selected by them, and are of high quality and extremely fresh.

Afterwards, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu skillfully cut all the ingredients into shapes suitable for hot pot, and washed them carefully one by one.

Finally, they are placed on beautifully crafted porcelain plates.

After everything was ready, the two of them went straight to the yard and began to set up a simple yet elegant hot pot table.

An antique copper fire stove was placed steadily in the center of the table. Inside the furnace, red charcoal fire was burning, emitting bursts of hot and warm light.

Around the hot pot stove, there are several small and exquisite bowls and plates placed in an orderly manner, filled with various seasonings and dipping sauces, the aroma is overflowing, making people salivate.

At this moment, the whole yard is illuminated by bright lights as bright as day, and the atmosphere is cheerful and peaceful everywhere.

Chu Zixi changed into a set of light clothes with light movements. The color of the clothes was simple and elegant yet lively, which complemented her elegant temperament.

She simply tied up her waterfall-like long hair and fixed it with a jade hairpin, revealing her fair and pretty face, as charming as a lotus emerging from water.

"Come on, come on, everyone, stop standing and sit down. Let's have a lively hotpot together." Chu Zixi warmly greeted Yu Da and his friends, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu.

When they heard Chu Zixi's call, they naturally sat around the table, as they had already gotten used to this.

Chu Zixi skillfully picked up a pair of delicate chopsticks, reached into the pot, and gently picked up a piece of temptingly colored beef.

In just a moment, the beef was cooked by the boiling soup. She carefully picked the beef out of the pot, slowly put it into her mouth, and then chewed it carefully.

Instantly, a rich meaty aroma and delicious juice spread in the mouth. The beef was tender and juicy, with an excellent taste. Coupled with the carefully prepared rich hot pot soup base, the flavors of various spices and ingredients blended together to form a wonderful taste.

Chu Zixi couldn't help but mutter, "This tastes so good! It's exactly the same as what I had in modern times." As soon as she said this, she was slightly stunned. It seemed that she hadn't thought about those things about modern times for a long time.

The modern times seemed to become increasingly distant to her, like an illusory dream.

At this time, Xiaolu, who was standing by, noticed the strange expression on Chu Zixi's face and said jokingly, "Princess, are you missing the prince?"

Chu Zixi came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of some things that happened a long time ago. But they are all things of the past, so it's better not to mention them." After that, she continued to immerse herself in the happy hotpot time with everyone.

The master and his servants were happily eating hotpot and chatting enthusiastically.
