C43 There Was Always a Cause for Trouble!

He was planning to be hypocritical and ask someone to help him up, but no one extended their hands. He could only kneel down and bow!

Gu Xinghe never cared about that much. He just waved his hand casually and said, “Alright, alright. Stop with the formalities. Prime Minister Wei, please get up.”

Gu Jun’an sat there with a cold face. He didn’t want to say anything.

Prime Minister Wei was helped up by Wei Lianyi. He said, “There are some new dishes today. I don’t know if they are to your liking. Please forgive me if I have been disrespectful. My daughter has always been able to manage things in the residence. Let her greet the two Princes and the Princess.”

He used this opportunity to put Wei Lianyi on the same table as them.

Wei Lianyi naturally became the person on the table. She started to buy wine for Gu Jun’an and Gu Xinghe. She also bought a cup of tea for Lan Qingqian. “Your Highness, this is orange-flavored tea. Do you like it?”

Lan Qingqian didn’t understand why the adults were doing this. She held the teacup and took a big gulp. She clicked her tongue and said, “It’s so good!”

“My Lady has a lot of it. I’ll buy some for the Princess later.” Wei Lianyi seemed to be especially caring and polite to her.

Lan Qingqian stretched her head out to take a look at the dishes. Most of them were familiar dishes, but there was no dessert after the meal.

She couldn’t help but ask in disappointment, “Miss Wei, don’t you make brown sugar ice powder?”

“Ah?” Wei Lianyi was slightly stunned.

Lan Qingqian shook her head and sighed. "I heard your family has brown sugar ice powder. That's why I came." Although she thought the other dishes were delicious, she had brown sugar ice powder at home. She just wanted to try it.

Gu Jun'an saw her disappointed eyes and couldn't bear to see her like that. He turned around and said coldly, "Didn't you arrange desserts for the banquet?"

Wei Lianyi wanted to say that the brown sugar ice powder wouldn't be enough, but there were other new desserts. However, she seemed to have thought of something from their conversation.

Did the Seventh Prince specially bring the Ninth Princess here to eat brown sugar ice powder?

So she immediately said, "Although we don't have it today, the chef is here. I'll arrange it later. The Ninth Prince can eat as much as he wants!"

"I want…" Lan Qingqian was still thinking seriously. Should she order ten bowls or eight bowls?

She really wanted to eat ten bowls, but she remembered what the Emperor said…

Eight bowls seemed not enough…

"Prepare ten bowls!"

Gu Xinghe, who was enjoying the wine, immediately explained, "I don't like to eat these sweet things!" He sounded a little disgusted.

Gu Jun'an said, "That's not yours!"

Wei Lianyi was shocked. Could these ten bowls be eaten? Even the Prince had to eat them!

However, she didn't dare to ask more as she was afraid of angering Gu Jun'an. She could only say, "Alright, I'll tell them to prepare."

Lan Qingqian was eating with her head down when Gu Jun'an saw her clumsily biting the shell of the shrimp. The little thing didn't bother to peel it with her hands. She just reached her mouth to peel the shell. It was clumsy. Not only did she not peel the shell clean, she even got some sauce on her face. She looked like a little cat.

Gu Jun’an could only pick the shrimp up and put it into his bowl. He then quickly removed the shell and threw it into her bowl. He then scolded her, “You have to eat like a cat!”

The little girl stuck out her pink tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. She then wiped her mouth with her hand and ate the shrimp in one go.

She was being insatiable, “Be quick! I want to eat a piece of sweet and sour pork!”

Gu Xinghe was surprised too and he put a piece of meat into his mouth. He then turned his eyes around and thought, ‘I am really like a father to my daughter-in-law. I have to peel the shrimp myself. I am glad that Gu Jun’an is the one who is going to marry me. Otherwise, I will suffer a lot of pain.’

Wei Lianyi was envious as she watched. The Seventh Prince was going to peel the shrimp for a little girl?

After she finished peeling the shrimp, Wei Lianyi took the chance and immediately handed over her lilac purple handkerchief, “Your Royal Highness, wipe your hands!”

Gu Jun’an did not take it. He looked at the little girl who was eating seriously and said coldly, “Take out your handkerchief!”

Lan Qingqian looked at the handkerchief that was fragrant and soft, “It is so nice to use Miss Wei’s handkerchief. I don’t have one!”

Gu Jun’an pushed her little body and frowned, “I am only wiping your hands because I am the one who peeled the shrimp and dirtied your hands. I have to wipe your hands.”
