Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

"Is it delicious?" he asked after a brief silence.

"It's delicious," she answered at length. "Not greasy, sweet, with a rich peach blossom flavor. It's a top-notch pastry. If you don't like it..."

Seeing that he didn't take it, she retracted her hand and put it to her mouth, but her wrist was grabbed by a large hand midway.

The touch was warm, and the calluses on her palms slightly pricked her skin, making it tingle and make her heart tremble.

"Your Highness, you..." Her voice trembled.

"Didn't you say it was delicious?" His hand slipped from her wrist to her fingertips, and he snatched away half of the cake.

As the two of them pulled and tugged, the cake fell into crumbs and broke into pieces.

How can I eat this?

"Your Highness, please don't..."

Su Manman pushed the plate towards him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't show any disgust at all, and still put the broken cake into his noble mouth.

He tasted it carefully and nodded in agreement, "It is indeed delicious."

Everyone's jaw dropped.

Su Manman felt like she had seen a ghost.

The easygoing person in front of him was nothing like him in his previous life.

"Is it really delicious?" She felt warm in her heart and asked sincerely.

"Ok!"

Ok.

Then she would be his poison-testing eunuch.

She took a plate, took a bite of each of the various pastries, and placed them neatly on a plate. She pushed it in front of him and said, "Every one of them is delicious. I have tested each one for poison. If they are delicious, you can eat more."

There were bursts of gasps in the room.

Zhuiyun glanced at his own prince and then at Miss Su, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

How could such a good girl be so depressed now?

Taohong and Qingluan also felt a lot of pressure. It was three to two, and they were women. What were their chances of winning?

Su Manman looked at the person opposite with a smile on her face.

He looked at the plate of crescent-shaped pastries in front of him, feeling both amused and helpless.

This naughty girl has revealed her true nature again and is good at playing tricks on people.

"What? Not satisfied?" Seeing that he didn't eat, she rolled her eyes and said, "You want to drink another half bowl of glutinous rice wine?"

She diligently filled a bowl, took a sip, and respectfully presented it to him.

He didn't dislike it at all, he reached out to take it, and took a sip from the place where she had drunk, "It's really delicious."

Su Manman saw his little thoughts, her cheeks flushed and her whole face felt hot, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

The rest of the people in the room left in embarrassment.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry!" His sudden enthusiasm made Su Manman at a loss, "I shouldn't have teased you."

He leaned back on the armchair, looked at her face, and smiled, "Have you ever teased others like this?"

Of course she had played a trick on him.

The person in front of me seemed to know something.

never mind!

Whether you stretch your neck or shrink it, it will be a knife attack, so it’s better to do it quickly.

Su Manman simply placed the Xuan Yue dagger in her sleeve on the table and said, "Your Highness, take a closer look. Do you recognize this object?"

The man who was originally in a lazy mood, the moment he saw the dagger, he restrained his expression, sat up straight, and stared at it without blinking.

"I know him." He replied in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, will you give it to your most cherished deceased friend?"

"Yes," he answered firmly.

All speculations were confirmed.

Instead, Su Manman felt a little lost in her heart.

"To be honest, Your Highness, six years ago, in search of an antidote, I traveled to the Psychedelic Forest on the border of Huanyue Country and met a young man there. This dagger was his parting gift."

"When I learned that the person who placed a bounty on the Xuan Yue Dagger was His Highness, I thought about returning the dagger to its original owner."

She secretly observed his expression, and when she found out that she was lying, his face changed and his eyes darkened.

Su Manman was panicked for a moment, "Your Highness, some things cannot be forced."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing anger.

Su Manman mustered up her courage and said, "Your Highness likes that young man."

"A forced melon is not sweet." She was completely reckless. "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with liking men, but you can't force others to be like you."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

"Your Highness likes men?" he asked back through gritted teeth.

"Isn't it?" Su Manman secretly glanced at him and whispered, "I know that young man. He is unruly and straightforward, neither arrogant nor humble. He will definitely not commit himself to you just because you are His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

So, you'd better give up on that idea.

"What?" He looked confused, as if he didn't understand what she said.

"I mean, if the person Your Highness likes is the one who gave me the dagger, Your Highness should not wait any longer. He definitely won't like Your Highness."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Mo was almost laughing because of her.

"I offer a bold advice, and I hope Your Highness will accept it." Su Manman blinked her big eyes with a sincere look on her face.

"Do you think that I like the person who gave you the dagger?" He stared at her and was almost laughing at her.

"Isn't it..." Su Manman was puzzled and murmured, "I heard Doctor Wu and your guards mention that His Highness likes young men."

"Okay, very good..."

He stood up suddenly, without bothering to put on his mask, and walked out quickly with a flick of his sleeves.

"Bang", the door closed loudly.

Su Manman stared blankly at the door, not daring to breathe.

Taohong and Qingluan rushed in and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you hurt?"

"I didn't!" Su Manman came back to her senses.

However, he seemed to be very hurt.

On the corridor, Wu Xiaowen ran into Ye Mo head-on. He waved his jade-handled fan and said with a smile, "Your Highness, how was your conversation with Miss Su?"

Ye Mo glanced at him coldly.

Seeing his angry expression, Wu Xiaowen felt even more proud. "Your Highness, please don't look at me. I know how to win the favor of the noble ladies of the capital easily. How about I teach you a few tricks?"

The cold gaze moved down from Wu Xiaowen's face inch by inch, and fell between his legs.

Wu Xiaowen was so frightened that he clenched his legs together.

Laughing awkwardly, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"You've really been very idle lately!" he said coldly.

"Of course." Wu Xiaowen waved his jade-handled fan, shaking his head and saying, "Thanks to Miss Su for being able to cure His Highness of the poison, I have indeed been able to take some time off from my busy schedule, and my life has become a little better."

"The southern military camp needs a batch of medicinal herbs recently. You will be fully responsible for preparing them."

"Ah?" The smile on Wu Xiaowen's face had not yet faded. "No, these matters are not my responsibility. I am only responsible for His Highness's health..."

"You also said that my body doesn't need you to take care of it right now."

Wu Xiaowen: “…”

He vaguely sensed that His Highness was in a different mood, and not daring to refuse, he bowed and said, "Yes."

"Hurry up and go." He urged.

Wu Xiaowen looked aggrieved, "Your Highness, I heard that the Jade-faced Immortal Lord would come to the auction. It's not too late for me to leave after I meet him."

"There is no Jade-faced Immortal Lord here."

"How could this be?" Wu Xiaowen was completely bewildered, looking at Su Manman behind Ye Mo. "The pills being auctioned this time were all made by the Jade-faced Immortal Monarch. Logically, he would show up."

Ye Mo's eyes were blazing with anger, and he said unhappily, "He won't show up."

"Why?" Wu Xiaowen didn't believe it.

"Because here is His Royal Highness Prince Qi, who likes handsome young men."
