Chapter 25 Picky Eaters
Just when Shen Xian was about to take another step, there was a sudden sound from her stomach. Even though she covered it very quickly to maintain her image, she still looked up and saw Shi Ling staring at her stomach in a funny way.
She was just in a hurry to buy cheese and didn't have time to eat breakfast. How could she be so hungry that she even screamed!
Before she could think of words, the person in front of her suddenly walked around her and said lightly: "Eat."
Shen Xian immediately followed happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
However, Shen Xian stopped laughing after a while, because none of the food here was what she liked.
She usually rarely eats anything heavy with oil and spicy food in order to maintain her figure, but the table was full of meat and meat, with only a small plate of vegetables, so she could only chew the vegetables and stare at Shi Ling eating deliciously.
Probably because he noticed something strange about Shen Xian, Shi Ling suddenly turned to look at her and said displeasedly: "A picky eater?"
"I don't eat these."
Shi Ling sneered: "Still not hungry enough."
After saying that, he put a thick piece of meat in Shen Xian's bowl and looked at her as if threatening: "This is Dali Temple. Everyone must obey my king. The rules I have set are not to leave food behind or be picky eaters. eat."
Shen Xian frowned and looked down at the shiny piece of meat in her bowl. After looking at Shi Ling's unchangeable expression, she put the meat in the corner very courageously and continued to eat her own vegetable leaves.
There was a look like 'I just won't eat, what can you do to me?'
Shi Ling narrowed his eyes, feeling unhappy with her action, but he didn't get angry immediately. He just finished the rice in his bowl silently.
When Shen Xian finished eating, she was about to stand up but was pushed back to the chair by Shi Ling, who said, "I told you not to leave any food left."
The slices of meat are still in the bowl.
Shen Xian pouted: "I don't like eating."
"so what?"
"So why does the prince force me to eat something I don't like?" Shen Xian looked up at him slightly, trying to make herself look more pitiful and innocent.
Who knew that Shi Ling wouldn't do this at all.
He twitched his lips: "When you know what it's like to be hungry, you won't find this piece of meat so hard to swallow."
Shen Xian immediately retorted: "But I don't have to go hungry."
She was born with rich clothes and good food, and she could reach out for food and open her mouth with clothes. If she really fell to the point of starvation that day, it must be a dream.
Her parents and brothers loved her and wanted to give her the best in the world. How could they see her starving?
But Shi Ling's face was serious and serious, making Shen Xian think that day would really come.
Shi Ling looked at her for a long time, and suddenly there was a look of disappointment in his eyes. He smiled mockingly and stood up, picked up his chopsticks, picked up the piece of meat that had never been touched, and put it into his mouth, chewing it with big mouthfuls.
According to common sense, Shi Ling's behavior at this moment was a bit ambiguous, but Shen Xian looked at him blankly and did not feel that he wanted to get close to her at all. Instead, she felt that Shi Ling was a little angry with herself.
She lowered her head and thought about it carefully. She just didn't want to eat something she didn't like. How could this piece of meat be wasted if he hadn't forced it to her? So why should he be angry?
"When I was a child, I lived among the people. I couldn't even eat a piece of sweet potato to fill my stomach. Do you know what this piece of meat meant to me at that time?" He put down his chopsticks and turned to stare at Shen Xian with extreme indifference.
Shen Xian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she thought to herself that she seemed to have done something very outrageous.
Shi Ling: "Shen Xian, you and I are not from the same place. What you don't like to eat is more important to me than anything else. There are so many people in this world who don't have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm. I don't need a willful wife. If you are not the one who can stand by my side, then don't mess with me."
Shen Xian bit her lower lip and tried hard to suppress her tears.
Is she willful? A little bit.
But she never failed to be considerate of the people. Every year, she would go to the temple with her mother to give alms and deliver food to poor people. She just didn't like to eat that piece of meat. It was just... just a piece of meat.
She tightened her grip on the clothes on her knees, then suddenly let go and raised her head sharply.
"Why do you have to say so much, Your Majesty? It's just that I don't like it. Even if it's not the meat today, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be able to find out what's wrong with me. You just want an excuse to get me to give up."
Shi Ling frowned.
How had he ever meant this?
But it would be okay if Shen Xian stayed away from him because of this.
But the next second I heard Shen Xian say: "But I have to disappoint the prince. It's just a piece of meat. I don't like it today, but I might like it tomorrow. The greatest advantage of me is that I believe in one thing." He will never turn around, and neither will anyone."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to Shi Ling's side, raised his chin, and pretended to be powerful.
"Your Majesty was young because I hadn't appeared yet. If I met Your Majesty, I would definitely take good care of you."
As soon as Shi Ling distanced himself from her, he wanted to laugh but also felt angry.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shi Ling: "Laughing at you."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the dining room, they saw Xiang Nong trying to pass the cheese in her hand to Ah Feng. Ah Feng blushed and dared not accept it. When he saw Shi Ling, he quickly turned around and saluted.
Shen Xian winked at Xiang Nong, who quickly put away the cheese and ran behind her.
Ah Feng: "Master, the portraits have been plastered all over the city of Kyoto, and the person will be caught soon."
Shi Ling nodded, then suddenly raised his head: "Send him back." After that, he left.
Shen Xian originally wanted to chase after her, but Ah Feng suddenly stopped her and said seriously: "Second Miss Shen, thank you very much for today. The master asked me to take you back."
Shen Xian pointed and felt a little angry.
He glared at Shi Ling's back.
She had helped him so much today, and she didn't even say thank you. She even said a bunch of incomprehensible words, and as a result, she was immediately ordered to be kicked out.
Shi Ling, you are heartless!
Shen Xian's expression on the carriage was not very good.
Although she retorted what Shi Ling said today, she also realized one thing: her past and Shi Ling's past were completely different.
Although he was a prince, he was taken away as soon as he was born. His father said that those years were raging wars, and Shi Ling had been wandering all the way until he was brought back alive. It was really God who saved his life.
But not long after she was born, the world was at peace, and she had been in a prosperous age since she was sensible. She knew the suffering in the world, but she had never really felt what suffering was.
Xiang Nong: "Miss? Why have you been frowning since you came out of Dali Temple? Did the prince say something?"
Shen Xian thought for a moment and said, "Is it almost June 15th?"
"Yes, Madam asked me to prepare it for Miss a few days ago. Then we can go directly to set up a tent outside the city center to give porridge."
Shen Xian: "Instead of going to the center of the city, go to Guoxiang Temple."
Xiang Nong was confused for a while but still nodded in agreement, maybe because there were more beggars outside Guoxiang Temple.
