When Ning Shu sat down, Xiao Zhangping glared at her angrily. He looked like he wanted to pull her away from Xiahou Qing. Fortunately, the waiter served the dishes in time.
Other than a few signature dishes, the rest of the dishes were filled with vegetables, dried fruits, and preserved meat. Ning Shu didn't have the appetite to eat meat at this late hour, so she only picked a few side dishes and ate casually.
Opposite her, Tan Siwei raised his head and stole a glance at her. He said, "Miss Ning …"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Tan Sixian laughed and joked, "Brother, you're already engaged to Lady Ning. Don't you think it's a bit strange to call her that?"
Tan Siwei's face turned red. He summoned his courage and said, "Shu, Shu 'er." Just those two words made him sweat profusely. His ears were red as he brought the white porcelain cup that the waiter had just brought over to Ning Shu. "I see that you haven't moved your chopsticks much. Are you sick of the fish? Why don't you try this cheese? I specifically asked the boss just now, and the boss said that it's hot and stuffy in summer, and this cheese is the most popular. After it was made, it has been kept in ice, and there's also fresh mint juice in it. It's cold and smooth, and the texture is very good. I think you'll like it. "
Before the cheese entered her mouth, Ning Shu already felt a chill in her heart. The cold air around the big Buddha next to her was enough to freeze her into a block of ice.
Ning Shu quickly braced herself and said, "Haha, there's no need. I'm not hot, I'm not hot. I was born with a cold body, so I'm very cool. Shaoqing, you can have it yourself."
Tan Siwei didn't doubt her and said warmly, "If that's the case, then I'll order someone to prepare a bowl of glutinous rice balls for you. I heard from Auntie that you like it very much. Waiter, please give me a bowl of glutinous rice balls with more preserved fruit. It must be hot. "
"Okay!" Before Ning Shu could stop him, the enthusiastic waiter had already rushed to the kitchen.
After a while, a steaming hot glutinous glutinous rice ball was placed in front of Ning Shu. The corner of her mouth twitched. Under Tan Siwei's eager gaze, she stiffly picked up the spoon and took a bite.
Tan Siwei asked, "How does it taste?"
On such a hot and humid day, she ran back and forth between the east and west of the city, crawled in and out of the secret passage, and now had to eat scalding Tangyuan. Ning Shu smiled happily. "It's … not bad."
At the side, Xiahou Qing's voice was ice-cold. He smiled like a cold jade and said, "It's good, and he even put more preserved fruits. Naturally, the taste will be excellent. Since it's not bad, let's eat it all. "
Ning Shu felt as if there were daggers on her back, as if she had eaten coptis. Looking at the big bowl of hot tangyuan in front of her, she hated that if she had known this would happen, she would have taken the crispy cheese from the beginning.
Tan Siwei took it as a compliment and lowered his head shyly.
Xue Qiongwei snorted and rolled her eyes. She put the bowl of crispy cheese in front of her and muttered, "Pretentious."
Tan Siwei hurriedly apologized on her behalf, and then reprimanded her in a low voice, "Qiongwei, how can you be so rude in front of so many distinguished guests? You're not like this at home. Hurry up and apologize. "
"You only love me at home. Of course, it's different. I'm not going to apologize!"
"Qiongwei!"
Taking advantage of the quarrel, Ning Shu quickly picked out a dish that suited Xiahou Qing's taste. She put some in a small bowl in front of Xiahou Qing and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this dish of seasonal vegetables is more refreshing and palatable. Would you like to try it?"
Not to be outdone, Xiao Zhangping said, "I think this dish is more nourishing. It won't harm the body even if it's used for supper. It's more suitable for Xiahou Shizi. Your Highness, please try it."
Two bowls were placed in front of Xiahou Qing at the same time. Ning Shu looked at his pale thin lips expectantly. She saw his thin lips move, and he said to Xiao Zhangping, "Thank you, Princess." His voice was like a cool breeze blowing on the morning moon, calm and gentle.
Xiao Zhangping's cheeks were flushed, like a peony flower that had worked hard to bloom and was finally appreciated by her sweetheart. Her almond-like eyes were sparkling, and all that could be seen in them was Xiahou Qing's figure.
One was the favored daughter of the heavens, the other was the shizi of a wang fu that could shake the world. Looking at the pleasing interaction between the two, Ning Shu awkwardly brought back the bowl of unwelcome seasonal vegetables. She chewed two mouthfuls tastelessly and suddenly tasted bitterness. She frowned and chewed a few times before finally swallowing it.
