Bangâ
The sound of the door closing could be heard.
Yun Chunuan shivered. She felt as if the door was about to be shattered by the manâs strength.
What did he mean when he said that he had âtaken careâ of that lord?
Could it be the language of Bian Liao? Had that lord he become a madman?
Gulpâ
The fragrance of the chicken drumstick came, and Yun Chuâs hungry stomach protested again.
Just as she was hesitating whether to eat or not, a small crack suddenly appeared on the originally closed door.
A small head poked in and asked softly, âPrincess, can I come in?â
It was that girl called Qiaoâer, and she was not smart at all. Her red face had many freckles, and she smiled at Yun Chunuan with a simple and honest face.
Yun Chunuan actually wanted to refuse. She just wanted to have some time alone so that she could think carefully about what she should do.
Qiaoâer, on the other hand, was very friendly. Without waiting for permission, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Then, she tiptoed and closed the door, as if she was afraid that she would be discovered.
Like a puppy, she sniffed in the air. Then, perhaps on purpose or following the scent, she came all the way to the side of the bed.
When she found the drumstick on the plate, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
âAhhhh! Did the General really kill Dabao?! Dabao! My good Dabao! You died so tragically!â
The little girl was crying, her face full of snot and tears. She rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her face.
Yun Chunuanâs phoenix eyes were wide open. She was once again confused by her actions.
Just a moment ago, she was closing the door like a thief. Now, she was crying loudly. Was she afraid or not?
Who was Dabao? How did he die so tragically?
Yun Chunuan was really ignorant. She did not know that a chicken could be called âDabaoâ.
She was really confused. Which Dabao had been killed that made the little girl so sad?
Yun Chunuan was about to console her.
She saw Qiaoâer wipe her snot with her sleeve and look at her with tears in her eyes. âPrincess, Dabaoâs legs. Whatâs the taste? Is it delicious?â
Yun Chunuan said, âHuh?â
She looked at the little girl and then at the chicken leg on the plate.
She finally realized that Dabao was actually this stewed chickenâ¦
Yun Chunuan shook her head. She was really sorry. She had not tasted Dabaoâs flavor yet, so she did not know.
However, judging by the smell, it should not be bad.
Qiaoâer blinked and squeezed out two strings of golden snot. A snot bubble popped out from her nostrils. âPrincess, can you give me the leftover chicken bones?â
Seeing the Little Princess on the bed looking confused, Qiaoâer quickly said, âPrincess, donât misunderstand! Iâm not greedy, and I donât want to eat Dabao! I just want to take it back as a souvenir! I want to make a monument for Dabao! Wuwuwu, it died too tragically!â
Yun Chunuan did not know what to say.
If there was a hospital in ancient times, she would immediately send this little girl to have her brain examined.
Her eyeballs could not move away from the drumstick, and she even said that it was not because she was hungry.
Yun Chunuan smiled helplessly. âIf you want to eat, just eat. Iâm not hungry.â
âNo, no, no!â Qiaoâer shook her head like a rattle drum. âThis is prepared by the General for the Princess. I canât eat it! Princess, hurry up and eat it. It wonât taste good if itâs cold.â
Seeing that the Little Princess was indifferent, Qiaoâer was a little anxious, âPrincess, youâre from the Central Plains. You probably donât know how rare Dabao is on our side. King Li once wanted to exchange a hundred taels of gold for Dabao, but our General refused! Do you think youâre eating just a chicken drumstick? No, itâs the Generalâs heart!â
Outside the door, someone staggered.
The man beside him, who was also tall and strong, asked in a low voice, âGeneral, do you want to kick that girl out?â
Qiaoâerâs mouth did not have any filters. What did she mean by eating the Generalâs heart?
It would damage my Generalâs reputation!
A suspicious blush appeared on a certain someoneâs wheat-colored face.
He waved at the tall and strong man, then slowly walked away with his hands behind his back.
When the man caught up, he coughed lightly and said, âGo to Aunt Ye and ask for the chicken ribs. give them to your sister.â
The man, whose name was Banley, was confused.
No way! Didnât the General have a Princess of the Great Xia Kingdom now? Why did he take a liking to that silly girl who was still wet behind the ears?
âGeneral⦠Qiaoâer, sheâ¦â
âWhatâs wrong? She can eat too.â
A certain someoneâs heart was hung on the delicate Little Princess. When he thought of that tender and soft little face, he could not help but rub his fingers against it, as if he was reminiscing about the beautiful touch.
The General said that Qiaoâer could also eat chicken, but he did not know that it had been completely misunderstood by Banley!
Banley felt uncomfortable. He wanted to cry. How can he tactfully and politely reject the wrong love of the General on behalf of his sister?
