Seeing the two of them at loggerheads, Bei Baixi kept silent and didn't interfere. He just watched silently.
Yan Xiaoxi was eating the food on the table crazily. Her stomach was filled with anger. She didn't know why, but she forced herself to eat the food.
Nangong Lin frowned as he glanced at Yan Xiaoxi who was wolfing down her food. He gave a look to the servant girl beside him and said, "I'm full."
The maidservant understood and immediately went to the table with the others, and without a word, they carried away all the food.
"No, no, I still want to eat!" In an instant, all the food on the table disappeared.
When Yan Xiaoxi realized this, she only saw the servant girl's figure gradually disappearing into the distance. She looked at Nangong Lin beside her and questioned, "What does Linlin mean? "Why don't you give me something to eat?"
Nangong Lin stood up and left the side room without saying anything.
Yan Xiaoxi was completely baffled by all of this.
"Brother Bei, are you full?" At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi finally remembered Bei Baixi's existence.
Bei Baixi nodded. His normal appetite was already not that big. Today, he deliberately ate some food that Yan Xiaoxi brought over for him, so he was already full.
"That's good." Yan Xiaoxi smiled brightly. She thought to herself, she just felt that the food wasn't tasty, so she didn't need to eat it now.
After this incident, Yan Xiaoxi's impression of Nangong Lin was greatly reduced.
However, what she didn't know was that Nangong Lin was trying to stop her by seeing Yan Xiaoxi forcing him to eat because he was afraid something would happen to her.
He knew very well that it was impossible to stop Yan Xiaoxi from eating directly.
"Brother Bei, I'll show you around." Yan Xiaoxi felt that Bei Baixi was good to her, so she decided to do her best to entertain him.
Bei Baixi smiled, cupped his hands and replied, "Sure, I'll be troubling Xi."
"Aiya, there's no need to be so polite between us." Yan Xiaoxi suddenly felt that getting along with Bei Baixi was such a happy thing. He would always take care of her and care about whether she was full or not.
Unlike Nangong Lin, who would always rob him of his food, he was mad at her.
Yan Xiaoxi had no idea what was going on. Why did everything reminded him of Nangong Lin?
He was clearly a bad guy, an extremely hateful bad guy. She should have hated him.
"Xi." Seeing Yan Xiaoxi frozen on the spot, Bei Baixi waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Yan Xiaoxi smiled slightly, looked into Bei Baixi's clear eyes and said, "Let's go."
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the side hall.
In just a short moment, Yan Xiaoxi had already forgotten about Nangong Lin.
Yan Xiaoxi brought Bei Baixi to wander around Prince Lin's Mansion, introducing him in detail.
With Yan Xiaoxi as her happy companion, the journey was filled with cheers and laughter.
"Brother Bei, look. The lotus blossoms in the pool are so good." Yan Xiaoxi had always thought that Marquis Mansion's residence was already very big, but she didn't expect that after coming to Prince Lin's Mansion, the interior's layout, design, and style would all light up in front of her eyes.
It must be said that other than the Imperial Palace, Nanshui Kingdom was the most magnificent.
Bei Baixi forgot the direction Yan Xiaoxi was pointing towards and saw the lotus flower blooming in the pond. Endless lotus leaves connected together like a green sea.
The lotus flowers were beautiful and flawless, pure as crystal.
Some of the lotus flowers only have a green and white bud, bashful and lustful, with a bud ready to bloom.
Those with lotus flowers had only bloomed halfway. Some of the petals had fallen off, while others were clustered around the stamens, looking like a beauty-dressed beauty.
"Xi is like a lotus flower that comes out of the mud without a blemish." Yan Xiaoxi was the most peculiar woman Bei Baixi had seen in all these years. She made him keep her figure in his mind and refused to forget it for a long time.
"No way, Brother Bei is too kind." Yan Xiaoxi lowered her head shyly.
"In my eyes, Xi is the most beautiful woman in the world." These words came from Bei Baixi's heart.
Yan Xiaoxi covered her face with her hands and retorted, "What Brother Bei said is wrong. Your future wife should be the most beautiful."
This made Bei Baixi silent, because the woman he wanted to marry the most in his life had already become someone else's wangfei.
Yan Xiaoxi brought Bei Baixi to take a look around the entire Prince Lin's Mansion. Time flew by, and gradually, the setting sun retracted its final rays of light, and the sky quickly darkened.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to finish the meal. Yan Xiaoxi was not full yet, and her stomach was growling from hunger.
"Brother Bei, wait here, I'm going to the kitchen to take a look." Usually by this time, food was already prepared.
Yan Xiaoxi had been waiting for a long time, but nothing had happened. She couldn't wait any longer, so she chose to rush him.
Strangely, there was no sign of Nangong Lin in the side hall.
After lunch, she never saw Nangong Lin again. She didn't know what he was doing.
Immediately, the kitchen appeared in front of Yan Xiaoxi. She stood at the doorway with her brows tightly knitted, looking at the pitch-black kitchen in astonishment.
What was going on now? Why was there no light when it was time to make dinner?
He pushed the door open and walked in. There was only fresh food in the huge kitchen, yet there was no one in sight.
Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but be confused. Could it be that Nangong Lin didn't pay them to leave on a strike?
That's impossible! Thinking that Nangong Lin was the Duke of Nanshui Kingdom, if he didn't have money, how would he let the poor people live?
Just then, a woman walked past Yan Xiaoxi. Yan Xiaoxi recognized her at a glance; she was Prince Lin's Mansion's cook, and because she had a deep impression of this cook's pastries, she remembered who made them as well.
"Wait." Yan Xiaoxi blocked the cook's way.
"Greetings, consort." The chef was the first to be stunned. When she saw Yan Xiaoxi's face, she immediately bowed.
Yan Xiaoxi waved her hand and helped the kitchen cook up. She immediately asked, "Why is there no one in the kitchen?"
The kitchen lady looked at Yan Xiaoxi in surprise and replied, "Your highness is kind, I'll give the kitchen staff a holiday tonight."
What? Holiday?
Why didn't she know that Nangong Lin wouldn't tell her?
Also, the cook was on vacation. What was she supposed to eat tonight?
Nangong Lin knew that she had never been able to eat or cook.
"Is there anything else, Princess?" The chef was still rushing out of the house to take care of the children.
"I'm fine."
"Then this servant will take her leave." With that, the chef impatiently left the room.
Yan Xiaoxi did not stop him, but she had already scolded Nangong Lin hundreds of times in her heart.
Needless to say, she knew that Nangong Lin must have done it on purpose.
Taking away the food on the table at noon to prevent her from eating her fill, it was even more excessive at night to not even give her food.
