C5 Only by Eating More Could I Grow Taller!

Lan Qingqian thought that he was disgusted by her eating so much. She immediately found an excuse and said righteously, “I’m a kid. I grew taller because I ate more.” She even raised her hands high and tried to make a gesture.

Gu Jun’an glanced at the sprouts on her arms and legs. He didn’t notice the vertical development, but the horizontal development was pretty good.

Housekeeper Jiang saw that his master didn’t eat two bites, but his lunch was extraordinarily sumptuous. Before Housekeeper Jiang could say anything, Lan Qingqian came out of nowhere and surrounded the table. She looked up at Gu Jun’an with wet eyes.

Gu Jun’an seemed to understand her meaning. “I said that you can eat whenever you want in the palace. No one can stop you.” He said this for her and also for Housekeeper Jiang.

Housekeeper Jiang accepted the order. Naturally, it was known to everyone in the palace.

She lowered her head slightly and said, “Yes, Your Highness. I will remember it.”

Lan Qingqian’s eyebrows were filled with a trace of happiness. For the first time, she felt that this big ice queen uncle wasn’t so bad. At least he wouldn’t make her wait for her meal. She proudly turned to look at Housekeeper Jiang and said, “Did you hear that?”

Housekeeper Jiang bowed and replied seriously, “Yes, Your Highness.”

He looked around at the dishes on the table. There were fish, chicken, and shrimp. There were eight or nine other vegetarian dishes. He muttered to himself, “Uncle, you eat really little!”

Housekeeper Jiang glanced at the dishes. There were quite a lot of them. Usually, the Prince would eat four or five dishes. He heard the mama say that the Ninth Princess ate a lot, so the amount of food was twice as much as usual.

Housekeeper Jiang served Gu Jun’an a bowl of rice. He was about to get a bowl for Lan Qingqian when she pushed a bowl that was bigger than her head over. “Use this?”

Housekeeper Jiang saw the bowl of rice and his mouth quivered. He hesitantly reminded her, “Your Highness, this is… a soup bowl. It’s used to fill soup!”

“I think it’s just right. Housekeeper, I want a big bowl!” She also used a big bowl when she ate at home.

Housekeeper Jiang remembered the Prince’s order and didn’t dare to say anything. He went to get a bowl of rice…

Others might need someone to feed them when they were four or five years old, but Lan Qingqian was different. She ate steadily and quickly. Her small mouth kept chewing silently, and the chopsticks in her hands didn’t stop.

Gu Jun’an ate a few chopsticks. She had already picked up a few more chopsticks. Gu Jun’an ate a small bowl of rice and didn’t continue eating. Lan Qingqian buried her head in the soup bowl that was bigger than her face and ate. She raised her head slowly and the corner of her mouth was still stained with some soup. She asked, “Imperial Uncle, why aren’t you eating?”

She picked up a prawn in Gu Jun’an’s bowl with great hospitality. “This prawn is delicious. Imperial Uncle, you can only grow taller if you eat more!” Seeing that Gu Jun’an didn’t move his chopsticks, Lan Qingqian continued, “My father likes me to pick up food for him the most. He says that if I pick up food for him, he can eat two more bowls!”

She sounded happy, as if she had done something great, and was full of pride.

When Butler Jiang saw Gu Jun’an pick up the chopsticks and eat the prawns, he was both surprised and scared. His Royal Highness was cold and eccentric, and he ate very little. He would only eat a bowl of rice every time, and wouldn’t add anything extra. If he put down his chopsticks, he wouldn’t continue eating.

It was strange that the sun had risen from the west today.

The two of them ate in a very strange way. Lan Qingqian buried her head in the soup bowl and ate bitterly. From time to time, she would try to divide her attention to help Gu Jun’an pick up some food. The food was very small, and it was basically a piece of bamboo shoot, or a piece of beef.

The little girl picked up a full bowl of food with her chopsticks. She was very clever, and even had a silly smile on her face. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish it!” It was obviously an excuse for her to eat more. Gu Jun’an glanced at her, but he didn’t expose her.

After lunch…

Lan Qingqian wasn’t familiar with the Imperial Residence, and she didn’t know anyone. She could only follow Gu Jun’an like a little tail.

Gu Jun’an entered the study room and sat down to read for a long time. He saw Lan Qingqian leaning against the door and staring blankly outside.
