Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

[Don't slander me, 250.]

250: ...Never mind, Your Highness will understand once your memories return, hehe.

After touring around, no one mentioned when Akahoshi had moved here.

Cang Linyu then led him back to her main courtyard: "If Xingxing likes it, go and visit often."

Akahoshi agreed; he hadn't wanted to move there in the first place.

Feeling his hand being held, he felt a sweetness in his heart, sweeter than any pastry he had ever eaten.

Back in the courtyard, Cang Linyu ordered the royal physician to treat Chi Xing's wounds with the finest medicine. Chi Xing's wounds had already scabbed over.

Cang Linyu was relieved when he could no longer feel pain.

This face is unbelievably beautiful. How come I didn't notice that Akahoshi looked like this when I faced him on the battlefield?

On the day of the marriage, he thought Feng Qiguo was playing tricks and sending an imposter. Just looking at that attractive face, he would believe that Chi Xing was a vixen sent by Feng Qiguo to seduce him.

After applying the medicine, Cang Linyu strode forward to help Chixing put on her clothes, his fingers inadvertently caressing her strong arm. Chixing looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

Cang Linyu, with a serious expression, straightened his clothes and tied his belt, saying, "Take a rest today, I'll make you a whole roasted lamb later."

The Northern War Kingdom is mainly based on animal husbandry, so there is plenty of beef and mutton to eat. Chi Xing has never missed a meal of meat since he came here, and he has tried all kinds of cooking methods.

"Row."

The Prince's mansion had a large courtyard with a special area for barbecue. Cang Linyu brought Chixing along, and Chixing only realized upon arriving that besides herself and Cang Linyu, there were some other people she had never seen before.

Cang Linyu introduced him to her trusted confidants. Everyone had previously guessed that the princess had probably been locked up by the prince long ago, or sent to a remote courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the prince brought his princess along.

Cang Linyu formally introduced Chi Xing to everyone, a gesture that carried a completely different meaning than the one he made on the day of their marriage.

The crowd had completely lost the casualness they had shown on the day of the wedding, and respectfully bowed to Akahoshi.

"Alright, let's begin." As soon as Cang Linyu finished speaking, the dozens of people continued with their work, mainly putting the prepared lambs onto the racks to roast.

Those who were close to the prince overheard him speaking to the princess, and the tone of his voice left them speechless.

"I'll roast a lamb for you; the meat will be more tender."

Akahoshi sat obediently beside him, and soon a maid brought food over, including a big bowl of milk tea, which Akahoshi drank sip after sip.

The food on the plate was all specialty of Zhanbei Kingdom. Chixing couldn't stop eating and didn't notice that Cang Linyu was watching him.

After spending several days with him, Cang Linyu basically understood Akahoshi's appetite. When Akahoshi encountered something he liked to eat, he could eat more than twice his usual amount.

At first, Cang Linyu was somewhat suspicious when she heard the servant's report. After she and Chixing finished their meal, Chixing did not deliberately put anything away and ate all the food on the table, which was meant for five people.

At that time, Akahoshi wiped his mouth, finished the soup in the bowl, and said, "Perhaps I was too hungry when I came here, because my appetite has increased since I came here."

Cang Linyu didn't laugh at him; instead, she felt sorry for him and had the royal physician take Chi Xing's pulse. When she learned that he could really eat a lot, she indulged him.

By the time Akahoshi started eating the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside roasted mutton, it was already getting dark. Akahoshi happily ate a roasted lamb leg.

Turning my head, I saw some vegetables and fruits, and even some ice-cold juice.

"The gifts from the palace today, I had them made into iced fruit juice."

Cang Linyu held the bowl to Chixing's lips, reminding him, "You can only drink one bowl, but you can eat fruit."

"Okay, you eat." Akahoshi held out the roasted lamb leg in his hand, and Cang Linyu lowered his head and took a bite.

Cut off a sizzling piece of roasted lamb with a knife, wrap it in some greens, dip it in a little sauce, and stuff it into Akahoshi's mouth.

The two did not hide their intimate behavior from others, leaving the deputy general, who was eating roasted mutton, dumbfounded.

He whispered to the person next to him, "Is this really the prince?"

"Nonsense, it seems the prince has truly fallen for the princess."

Someone glanced cautiously at Akahoshi's face and spoke even more quietly: "With that look, no one could resist him."

"I've met him on the battlefield before; his face was always covered in dust, probably to cover himself up..."

The group nodded, and their voices lowered further.

This was also the first time they had seen Chi Xing in her everyday clothes. Feng Qiguo's attire was rather elegant, with a moon-white robe draped over his body. Chi Xing was beautiful, and anyone who saw her would not be able to help but take a second look.

When she looked over again and met the prince's ambiguous smile, she was immediately sobered up.

They all picked up their wine cups and continued drinking, no longer looking at Chi Xing, for fear that the prince would be angry and punish them.

Akahoshi didn't seem to care much about this. Before he went to the battlefield, his older sister had prepared some kind of foundation for him and insisted that he apply it to his face every day, saying it was to protect him.

Having promised his elder sister, Chixing applied the product every day. He was a late sleeper and would often rush to apply it without paying attention to whether it was evenly applied. He was fair-skinned, and applying the product made him look like he had a layer of ash on his skin.

Akahoshi was well aware of his good looks. People in the palace said he looked like the Empress, which was why the Imperial Concubine disliked him every time.

However, his elder sister would play with him, and the two would even sneak out of the palace together. His elder sister especially liked to apply powder to his face.

Thinking of his elder sister, Akahoshi couldn't help but recall their experiences in the original story.

He stopped eating meat and stared blankly, while Cang Linyu stuffed fruit into his mouth.

"Are you homesick?"

Cang Linyu wiped the oil stains off his face with a handkerchief and said softly, "Maybe there will be a chance to go to Fengqi next year. I'll try to take you with me then."

Pat the back of his hand to comfort him.

Akahoshi shook her head: "I was just thinking about my elder sister. She... was a very good person."

“You too,” Akahoshi added.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, while the others were still drinking, Cang Linyu ignored them, pulled Chixing to wipe his hands, and then took him back to the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered, Akahoshi was hugged, her chin lifted by Sorin's jade-like fingertips, and she looked around.

Akahoshi: "Ayu doesn't like my appearance?"

Cang Linyu: "It's because I like them so much that I look at them so much..."

He pressed his palm against the back of Akahoshi's head and brought them close together, their noses touching: "You're too eye-catching. Everyone's staring at you. I really want to hide you away."

Chixing took it as a joke, and touched his lips with a smile, as proud as a peacock: "I am beautiful, Ayu, you must cherish me and not look at others."

She wrapped her arms around his waist and tightened them, the two embracing tightly, and before they knew it, they were kissing again.

"Who poisoned you with the love potion that day?" Chi Xing suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked him.

Cang Linyu paused in a daze, and exhaled: "We interrogated that person, and he said that it was the Crown Prince who ordered it, and that the Crown Prince hosted the banquet that day."

“Xingxing, the Crown Prince… is my own elder brother.”

Both brothers were born to the Queen. When the second prince, Cang Linxiao, was born, he was made the crown prince, even before the eldest prince who was born earlier. This shows that the Wolf King valued the Queen the most.
