Chapter 114 Rougher Than a Woman
For some time now, the chubby Feng Yu has been unable to eat or sleep, anxiously awaiting the Empress's decree of marriage, but without any news. He is listless all day, fearing that Lin Shu will abandon him because of her previous rejection of his marriage proposal.
In just over ten days, the flesh on her face had thinned a bit, which not only Empress Xiao Junhou but also her wet nurse felt sorry for her.
"Seventh Prince, please eat some more! You've lost weight..." At this moment, his wet nurse was still trying to persuade him to eat more, but he really had no appetite.
"Seventh Brother! Guess what I've discovered..." Feng Qing entered from outside the hall with a smile on her face, but upon seeing Feng Yu's slightly thinner appearance, her expression instantly darkened, and she scolded the wet nurse:
"What's going on? You lackeys, how have you been taking care of this?"
The wet nurse hurriedly asked Feng Qing for help in persuading him: "Third Princess, please persuade the Seventh Prince. He is in such a state that he has no appetite and is afraid that it will harm his health!"
Feng Qing then turned to look at Feng Yu and said, "Seventh Brother, why are you like this? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I will avenge you!"
"Sigh!" Feng Yu's lips parted slightly, but in the end, she did not utter a word, only letting out a sigh.
Seeing that he remained frowning, Feng Qing suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit, so she moved a little closer to Feng Yu and said:
"Seventh Brother, a new restaurant with a unique flavor recently opened in the capital. I managed to reserve a table two or three days in advance, and I'd like to take you there today!"
Seeing that Feng Yu was still not interested, Feng Qing deliberately whetted her appetite: "I heard that it is a kind of food that I have never seen before. Everyone who has been there said it was delicious."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu perked up slightly. Although she was still slumped over the table, her ears were clearly perked up, and she was listening intently.
Feng Qing couldn't help but tease him: "Alas! But it's a pity. Seventh Brother is in a bad mood today, it seems I'll have to enjoy it myself..."
"No! I'm going." Feng Yu interrupted impatiently upon hearing this.
"Pfft...cough cough cough! Let's go then!" Feng Qing wanted to laugh, but when she saw Feng Yu's gaze sweep over, she quickly covered it up with a cough.
……
What? You're in love with Lin Shu?
As they walked out of the palace, halfway through their journey, Feng Qing finally discerned the reason for Feng Yu's bad mood from his few words and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Seemingly realizing that her voice was a bit loud, Feng Qing unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Hmph! This Lin Shu dares to make you so upset. When I see her, I will definitely make her suffer."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu looked up and stared at Feng Qing for a long time, until Feng Qing felt a chill run down her spine, before slowly saying, "Third Imperial Sister, you are no match for her!"
Lin Shu was a great hero who single-handedly defeated the entire mountain stronghold, and even defeated the number one warrior of the Northern Wilderness with a single move! It's just a pity that Feng Qing wasn't present at the time, so she didn't know.
"You brat, you're actually siding with outsiders." Feng Qing's expression was clearly indignant.
The two chatted along the way and soon arrived at their destination – “Masterful Skill”.
That's right, this new restaurant is Xue Wen's hot pot restaurant, which opened just three days ago on a quiet street. No one expected that business would be so booming from the very beginning, and now the customers queuing up have already made reservations for three days from now.
Therefore, even though they had hired many waiters, they were sometimes still too busy, and Su Mu and others would take time to help out in the store.
Of course, some people were jealous, but Lin Shu made an example of them, and after most people learned that the hot pot restaurant seemed to be related to Wushuang Pavilion, they dared not have any more improper thoughts.
Feng Yu could smell the spicy aroma wafting from inside as soon as she stood at the door. It smelled wonderful, and she couldn't help but swallow.
Feng Qing wasn't much better off; she had wanted to eat there last time, but unfortunately there were no seats available. She then took a deep breath and, urged on by Feng Yu, hurriedly went inside.
Once inside, although Feng Qing had made a reservation in advance, it was lunchtime and there were many people, so they had to wait for a number.
Feng Qing handed the wooden plaque she had received for reserving her seat a couple of days ago to the waiter, who quickly led the two of them to a chair outside a private room on the second floor to wait.
After waiting for a while, Feng Yu rubbed her stomach, sniffed, and said aggrievedly, "Third Imperial Sister, I'm so hungry."
"This lousy shop dares to make this princess wait so long! Does it even want to stay in business anymore?!" Feng Qing, smelling the aroma around her, suddenly stood up. She couldn't stand it anymore; she had almost forgotten that she was a princess.
"Wait for me here!" After giving Feng Yu these instructions, Feng Qing stormed downstairs to find the shopkeeper.
Feng Yu nodded obediently, then looked longingly at the people downstairs in the lobby who were enjoying their meal.
Xue Wen and Su Mu were also about to have a meal, but they didn't have to wait in line. There was a private room for them to use, which was the one at the very end of the second-floor corridor.
Su Mu opened the door and told the servant that he could start serving the dishes. He turned his head and saw Feng Yu staring longingly at him, licking her lips every now and then, looking extremely hungry!
So she walked over with a smile in her eyes and said gently, "Young master? It's been a long time!"
Feng Yu slowly turned around, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and saw that it was Su Mu. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then she looked behind him and did not see the person she cared about. Her expression was a little lonely.
He then lowered his head and said, "Brother Su... Brother Su!" He originally wanted to call Su Mu by his name, but then he remembered that he was Lin Shu's husband, so he changed his address.
Su Mu knew that the other party wanted to see Lin Shu, so he explained, "My wife is on duty at the Hanlin Academy today."
After saying that, he added, "Young master, you haven't eaten yet! If you don't mind, you can have some with us."
"Really?" Feng Yu's previously dim eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course, follow me." Su Mu's lips curled up slightly, secretly thinking: He really is like a child!
Just as the two were about to enter the house, a gruff voice suddenly came from the top of the stairs: "Didn't you say there was no room? How dare you deceive this young master?"
Upon hearing the sound, Su Mu and Feng Yu turned around and saw a young man in dark red outfit and a woman in luxurious white clothes walking towards them.
The servant looked distressed and tried to step forward to explain, but the woman kicked him right in front of Su Mu and his companion: "You dog servant!"
Su Mu immediately shielded the chubby boy behind him, his brows furrowed, and said coldly to the servant, "Go down first."
Xue Wen, Song Yun, and Li Huanzhi, who were inside the house, also heard the commotion outside and came out to check.
"You said you invited me to dinner, but you couldn't even secure a seat! Humph!" The man in the red outfit was Qin Shi. He showed no mercy to the woman beside him, completely disregarding how embarrassed she looked.
After saying that, he glanced around at everyone present, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Mu, saying in a deep voice, "I'll take this private room."
"Young master, I must say I cannot yield." Su Mu's tone was icy cold. Perhaps because he had spent a long time with Lin Shu, he even had a bit of Lin Shu's imposing manner when he was cold-faced.
"Could it be that you want money?" Qin Shi paused for a moment, then took out a gold ingot and threw it over. None of Su Mu and the others tried to catch it, and the gold ingot fell straight to the ground. Qin Shi's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.
Suddenly, the chubby boy behind Su Mu bent down, picked up the gold ingot, and, with Qin Shi's "you know what's good for you" expression on his face, threw it at Qin Shi's face with a "smack".
"You fatso!" Qin Shi's expression froze instantly. Although he had seen the Seventh Prince before, he had never seen the Seventh Prince after he had gained weight, so he failed to recognize him.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, and raised his hand, intending to punish the chubby boy!
The woman beside him seemed to want to stop him but was powerless to do so. Just as his thick arm was about to hit Feng Yu, Su Mu hurriedly stepped forward to block it.
However, before the slap could land, a woman suddenly rushed towards Qin Shi. Qin Shi, having practiced martial arts for many years, reacted quickly. With two loud bangs, the woman staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Third Imperial Sister," the chubby boy called softly, a little worried.
The person who came was none other than the Third Princess Feng Qing. She had just come upstairs when she saw Qin Shi scolding Feng Yu and even trying to hit him, and she was immediately filled with rage.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!" Feng Qing touched her injured cheekbone and the corner of her mouth. How could this man be even rougher than a woman?
Then, turning back to confirm that Feng Yu was alright, he looked at the two people in front of him and spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Hiss... Who do we have here! Isn't this my two-faced, useless older sister? And you, who can't get married..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Shi's fist cracked, so he snorted and shut up.
"Why is the Third Princess silent? Is she afraid?" Qin Shi asked with a forced smile.
Feng Qing was furious: "You just wait, I'm going back right now to tell the Empress Dowager, and I'll definitely impeach the Duke of Qin for daring to beat a princess..."
Having said that, she pulled Feng Yu, who had no intention of leaving, and abandoned the hotpot, heading downstairs. As they passed the eldest princess in white, she couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph! Coward! You don't even care when your own brother is being bullied!"
"Feng Qing, you..." Feng Xin looked like she was gritting her teeth.
Then he turned to look at Qin Shi.
"Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who scolded you." Qin Shi's tone was also unpleasant. Despite his calm appearance, he was sure to be severely punished by his mother when he returned home.
Besides, Qin Shi disliked the eldest princess's carefree attitude and hadn't given her a pleasant look when they met today. He turned and left in a bored mood.
Feng Xin almost gritted her teeth. Her meeting with Qin Shi today was intentional, as she had married men of low status to lower the Empress's and others' guard.
When I saw Qin at the Deer Cry Banquet that day, I thought he was just a muscle-bound simpleton, easy to manipulate, so I set my sights on him. Little did I expect...
And that bitch Feng Qing...
The eldest princess lowered her head slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, but for some reason, she suddenly laughed:
Feng Qing, it won't be long before we see how smug you can still be!
