C157 Chapter 157

"You sent him away?" Duan Shuang remembered that he had a good expression when he first came in. He must have had a good time.

"What? Are you thinking about him now?"

Duan Shuang shook his head. "Sure enough, only women and petty people are difficult to raise!"

"That's because you deserve it. Who asked you to provoke me? Alright, I know you still have a lot of things to deal with. I won't disturb you for now."

Jiegeng flipped through a few books from the bookshelf with familiarity. "I will read my own book!"

Ever since Jiegeng often went into Duan Shuang's study, there were many kinds of books on his bookshelf.

Jiegeng quietly sat on the chair by the window. The sun shone on Jiegeng. Duan Shuang slowly walked to Jiegeng's side and gently closed the window behind her.

Jiegeng looked up in confusion.

"The sun is too bright. I am afraid that your eyes will hurt if you read for too long."

Jiegeng smiled sweetly and continued to lower her head, immersing herself in the conversation book in her hand.

It was almost noon when Butler Duan came to report.

"Your Royal Highness." Butler Duan first bowed to Duan Shuang before turning to Jiegeng's position. "Miss, Yang Lanqing is already done in the kitchen."

"Okay, I will go over now!" Jiegeng put down the notebook and was about to go out when she was stopped by Duan Shuang.

"Why is she still in the Imperial Residence? What are you playing at?"

"Brother Qu, don't worry about it. You will know in a while." Finishing, Jiegeng happily jumped out.

"Ms Jiegeng!" When Yang Lanqing saw Jiegeng enter, she quickly flaunted the dishes that she had just finished.

"Lanqing is really amazing!" Jiegeng praised.

"It's nothing. It's just a side dish." Yang Lanqing said modestly.

"Sister, is the Royal Highness awake? It is almost time for dinner. Lanqing's dishes can be sent to His Royal Highness to have a good taste and let His Royal Highness give me some suggestions."

"Aiya, I forgot to tell you. Big Brother Qu's injuries are not healed yet. You can't eat these sweet fried things."

"Ah, is that so?"

"Lanqing, if you want someone to give your opinion, wouldn't that be easy? " Jiegeng smiled, "Won't you know if I help you try it?"

"Ah!"

"What? Are you looking down on me? " Jiegeng immediately put on an unhappy expression.

"Not at all!" Yang Lanqing hurriedly explained, "It is best if elder sister can help me try."

Jiegeng immediately picked up the chopsticks and unceremoniously tried it.

"En, this one has been fried for too long and is already old."

"Isn't this meat a bit too sour? My teeth are about to fall off!"

"This fish is a bit fishy."

After Jiegeng tried every dish, she criticized every dish.

"Older sister, is it really that bad?" Yang Lanqing's face seemed to have cracks.

"Lanqing, luckily I tried it first. Otherwise, if these dishes were presented in front of older brother Qu, he would definitely be angry."

"Yeah, luckily there is big sister." Yang Lanqing had tried every dish before, even though it was not to the extent of being odorless. However, it was definitely not as unbearable as what Jiegeng said. This has always been the case. Could it be that from just now, she wanted to mess with me? Stop me from meeting His Royal Highness?

"Elder sister, it's getting late. If His Highness wakes up, why don't you bring me to His Highness to greet him?" Yang Lanqing decided to test Jiegeng once more, if she still reject it. Then it could be confirmed that she was deliberately toying with him previously.

"Brother Qu just got up. I will bring you there!"

Jiegeng's reply this time was very straightforward and at that time Yang Lanqing would not be able to react.

"En?"

"Lanqing, why are you in a daze?" Jiegeng laughed secretly.

"It's nothing. Sister, let me slightly tidy up my appearance. Just now, I passed by the kitchen's oil smoke and went to see His Royal Highness like this. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"Alright, I'll wait for you outside."

Actually, Yang Lanqing had already taken care of herself long before Jiegeng came over. The reason why she said this at this moment was because Jiegeng's attitude from the beginning to the end was different and needed time to slowly take care of herself.

Yang Lanqing pondered on her own. Could it be that Bai Jiegeng did not lie to me just now? Was it really because His Royal Highness had rested? No, I have to try again later. I definitely cannot be cheated by Bai Jiegeng.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss and Yang Lanqing are here." The butler reported.

Duan Shuang put down the things in his hands and smiled.

What was this little girl playing again? She was playing with him.

"Got it." After that, Duan Shuang went out to the courtyard outside the study.

"Lanqing greets the Royal Highness!" Yang Lanqing saw that Happy wanted to see someone and immediately put on a full posture. She looked like a naive and brilliant woman.

"Older brother Qu, why did you come outside? The wind outside is strong, you also did not know to add a cloak!" Jiegeng and Yang Lanqing's following the rules were different and immediately came to Duan Shuang's side.

"It's almost noon. Where did the wind come from?"

Jiegeng raised her eyebrows at Duan Shuang and constantly indicated to Yang Lanqing.

Originally, Duan Shuang did not care about people who did not care. In order to make Jiegeng happy, Duan Shuang naturally cooperated with her.

"When did you come? ” Duan Shuang changed his usual cold tone. This sentence of his could be considered to be quite humane.

After he finished speaking, he even hinted to Jiegeng, This is what you meant.

Jiegeng did not really care about it. This matter concerned all of her attention on Yang Lanqing's change of expression.

Duan Shuang immediately felt very frustrated.

When Yang Lanqing saw Jiegeng and Duan Shuang's intimate look just now, she was very jealous. But Duan Shuang's words made Yang Lanqing's heart feel very sweet.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this official's daughter came early in the morning. But elder sister said that Your Royal Highness was resting, so she did not dare to disturb Your Royal Highness."

"So that's how it is." Duan Shuang nodded.

It seems Bai Jiegeng did not lie to me on this point.

"Elder sister also told this subject that the Royal Highness likes sweet food. Thus, Chennu went to the kitchen to prepare it just now. But unfortunately, the Royal Highness is still injured, elder sister said that we can't eat something too sweet and greasy. Big Sister is a doctor, so naturally she wants Big Sister's."

Duan Shuang looked at Jiegeng as if he was saying with his eyes, "Isn't the one who loves sweet food not you?"

Jiegeng turned around and carried Yang Lanqing on her back, and immediately made a funny face.

"What a pity." Duan Shuang couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes!" Yang Lanqing also felt regretful.

It seems that Bai Jiegeng did not lie to me about everything. Looking at this, things became easier to handle. Even if this Bai Jiegeng is now doted on by the Royal Highness, how about it? She was just a brainless woman and did not have the slightest bit of vigilance against people. After he entered the Imperial Residence, he would have to take back the position of the Princess. What was so difficult about it?

"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, you can go back now." Duan Shuang was a little hungry now. He really didn't have the energy to continue playing with this woman.

Yang Lanqing was still a little disappointed when she heard what Duan Shuang said.

"Since that is the case, Lanqing will not disturb the prince's rest."

It was time for lunch. It would be a lie if Yang Lanqing did not want to stay for lunch. Since she could not directly express it to Duan Shuang, Yang Lanqing intended to find a breakthrough point for Bai Jiegeng.

"Ms Jiegeng, is your sedan still outside? If not, if you do not mind, then ride with younger sister."

"Lanqing, what do you mean? I'm not leaving!"

"Ah, is that so? I thought my sister was going to leave the residence as well."

" No. " Jiegeng knew what Yang Lanqing was thinking and would not let go of her words.

"Lanqing misunderstood." Yang Lanqing was anxious. Shouldn't she be polite now?

"Okay, Lanqing, go back quickly. It's getting late. The people in your residence will be worried." Jiegeng continued to chase them away.

Yang Lanqing could only reluctantly leave the mansion.
