Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Princess Yongjia smiled softly, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'm not doing anything. It's just that the snacks in Muyinglou are always in short supply. I bought them with great difficulty. If Sister Shen doesn't eat some, wouldn't that be a disrespect to me?"

After she finished speaking, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Ge Da and Ge Er, pull the champion away."

Two men dressed as warriors came in from outside the house. They were the two people who kidnapped Shen Nankui!

How could Gu Yichuan, a mere scholar, contend with two sturdy warriors? The two men grabbed his shoulders and dragged him aside.

"Princess Yongjia, please respect yourself. No matter how noble your status is, there are still laws in this world. His Majesty will summon you in a few days. Aren't you afraid that I will report the Jing Palace to His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Princess Yongjia really stopped.

She turned around and glanced at Gu Yichuan with a half-smile, "What's wrong with Gu Lang that he wants to go against the palace?"

Then she ignored him and ordered, "Qiao Yue, Qing Xu, please have some snacks from Sister Shen."

She spoke with a proud attitude, and added lightly, "These are all gifts from this princess, Sister Shen, you must eat them all."

Qiao Yue picked up the snack plate and handed it to Shen Nankui respectfully, "Mrs. Gu, please."

Qingxu's attitude was not so good. He stared at her with wide eyes, "What Madam Gu? She won't be that in two days. Madam Shen, please go quickly. If you wait for us to take action, it won't look good!"

The atmosphere in the room was tense. Shen Nankui knew that she had no choice but to bow her head today. She took the snack in silence and started eating it bite by bite.

She had just eaten a bowl of wontons made by her grandma in the afternoon. She was actually not hungry at all, but she still gritted her teeth and finished a plate of snacks with an expressionless face.

Princess Yongjia smiled and clapped her hands, "That's right, this princess has good intentions, Sister Shen should appreciate it, this jujube paste cake tastes good, right? And, Qingxu, bring the other plate of crab roe cakes over."

Shen Nankui said, "I appreciate your kindness, Princess. How about saving this crab paste for tomorrow?"

"That won't work. The weather is hot now. If you leave the snacks out until tomorrow, they'll taste different."

Princess Yongjia was not moved at all.

Qingxu held the snack in her hand and said, "Madam Shen, didn't you hear what the princess said? Why don't you eat quickly?"

Shen Nankui's temples throbbed twice, and she was silent for a moment. Finally, she picked up a piece of crab meat crisps. But just as she put it to her mouth, before she put it in her mouth, a salty and fishy smell came into her nose. She felt nauseous in her stomach and couldn't help but dry heaving.

She vomited violently and vomited out everything she had just eaten.

Princess Yongjia showed disgust on her face, stood further away, covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Qingxu, when Sister Shen finishes vomiting, you feed her!"

Shen Nankui couldn't stop vomiting. Veins bulged on her forehead and her face turned red. She was almost out of breath. In the end, all she vomited out was acid water. She was almost exhausted and collapsed in the chair.

Qingxu remembered her master's order and stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Shen has vomited everything, so she has enough space to eat the crab meat cakes. Please, I will serve you!"

Seeing Shen Nankui like this, Gu Yichuan felt as if his heart was broken by a knife. He couldn't break free and begged, "Princess, I want to eat it. I am willing to eat the snacks you bought. Please give me this crab meat cake!"

Princess Yongjia looked at him with surprise and joy, "Gu Lang, this is the first time you've surrendered to me. In the past, you always refused to pay attention to me, and you were unwilling to accept my things. But today, you've changed your ways and are willing to ask me for snacks."

Gu Yichuan forced a smile, "I... I didn't have dinner today, and I'm starving right now. I heard that Mu Yinglou's crab meat cake is the best in the capital, so please let me have a taste. As for my family... As for Shen, I think she can't eat anymore, so it would be a waste to give her this crab meat cake, so let's not waste this good thing, okay?"

"Oh, Gu Lang is hungry. How can he just eat snacks?"

"Just a little snack to fill your stomach is enough."

"No," Princess Yongjia shook her head. "How can I watch you suffer such an injustice while I am here?"

She waved her hand and said, "Qiao Yue, go to Mu Ying Lou right away and order a portion of the restaurant's signature dishes and have them delivered to this courtyard."

Gu Yichuan was a little anxious, "Princess, why bother? I just need some snacks!"

Princess Yongjia smiled and shook her head, "No, the snacks are too sweet, I'm afraid that Gu Lang will have trouble sleeping at night if he eats too much. Besides, these snacks are specially prepared by this princess for Sister Shen, so Gu Lang should not steal her love, right?"

"Qingxu, do it!"

Qingxu grabbed a piece of dessert and was about to stuff it into Shen Nankui's mouth.

Gu Yichuan was so anxious that he was sweating. "Stop it! You bastard, stop it right there!"

Shen Nankui rested for a while and recovered some strength. She blocked Qingxu's hand and said, "I can do it myself. Although I am not from a famous family, I am still the daughter of an official. You don't need to treat me like this."

She looked at Gu Yichuan again and shook her head at him.

"Yichuan, don't worry. Princess Yongjia asked me to eat it, so I'll eat it. After all, this snack is not poisoned."

Although she was in a weak position, she remained calm and composed. She neither begged for mercy nor cried and made a fuss. She was like a bottomless cold pond. No matter how the water churned, it remained as still as a mountain.

Princess Yongjia suddenly laughed when she heard this, and said with some regret: "What a pity, Sister Shen, if you were not Gu Lang's ex-wife, with your personality, I would really like to make friends with you."

She sighed, "Ah, it's boring to talk about it. These noble ladies in the capital are either too self-righteous and disdain to deal with me, or they are just flatterers. None of them are worthy of my attention. Today, when I met Sister Shen, I was really enlightened. Although Sister's family background is low, her temperament is not to be underestimated. It's rare, what a pity..."

She said "what a pity" twice, as if she was really sighing.

"It's no use talking more."

Shen Nankui picked up the crab roe crisps, gritted her teeth, and stuffed it into her mouth. She held her breath and did not dare to chew it carefully. She just took a sip and swallowed it forcefully.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has been unable to eat fresh or salty food. Now, she forced herself to eat so many crab roe cakes, as if she was going against her body. Her body's reaction was particularly strong. She ate two pieces and vomited two pieces. It took her nearly half an hour to finish the whole plate of crab roe cakes.

She vomited for a long time after eating. Although there was no food in her stomach, bile was still pouring out. She hunched over, with her chest and back heaving violently, like a dying butterfly flapping its wings.

Qingxu showed disdain on his face and muttered, "What a waste of good things!"

Princess Yongjia felt much better when she saw her miserable appearance. She sneered and looked at her as if she were an object.

She covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Sister, aren't you being too out of line?"
