Chapter 445: Stalling for Time

The place where the prince held the banquet was in the prince's mansion, which was the most heavily guarded and unattainable place in the entire capital except for the imperial palace. Zhao Qingyan knew that it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave the Prince's Mansion alone.

But she can't just sit still! Zhao Qingyan sat quietly in place, and the place where the prince set up the banquet was in the back garden of the prince's mansion. What's more different is that this back garden is really a back garden.

From the semi-circular arch that enters the back garden, you can see the view of the back garden at a glance. The prince has asked his subordinates to arrange this banquet today, the flowers and plants have been trimmed, and the furnishings in the pavilion used for viewing the scenery have also been specially replaced.

The scenery is good, but the prince who set up the banquet really didn't have any good intentions. "Miss Zhao? Miss Zhao?" The prince's voice came into Zhao Qingyan's ears little by little, and the expression on her face was very flat, but since Wen Qiao left just now, her heart was completely messed up.

"Miss Zhao is tired? There is already a place for Miss Zhao to rest in the house, why don't you let me send Miss Zhao over?" The prince looked like he was getting along with well, but Zhao Qingyan knew that his heart was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

The prince's words successfully made Zhao Qingyan's eyes see him, and he saw that there was calm in those dark eyes, and there was no panic as he imagined at all. The prince narrowed his eyes and smiled at Zhao lightly with unknown meaning.

Then he picked up the teacup on the small table in front of him, hid his face and drank the tea into his stomach. Sure enough, it's more interesting to be with a smart person like Zhao Qingyan. He thought as he sipped tea.

Stunned by the prince's gaze, Zhao Qingyan only felt that his scalp was numb from his staring, this person had bad intentions, if she agreed now, it would be really stupid. Her brief silence gave the prince the upper hand.

The prince sitting in the first seat saw that Zhao Qingyan refused to answer, the corners of his lips hooked, and the next moment he had already beckoned the glamorous maid who was waiting next to him to come over, "You go and prepare, so that Miss Zhao can go over and rest." ”

"Your Highness~" Most of the ordered maids looked like they were going to stick to the prince, and the maid's clothes were thin and transparent, and her actions leaked most of the spring light on her chest.

The prince raised his hand and wandered over the maid for a moment, and then patted it gently, the smiling expression on his face gradually cooled, and he ordered without a beak: "Go quickly." Seeing that he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up, the maid sneered, and then had to bow her head and say, "Yes."

Seeing that the maid was about to leave, Zhao Qingyan's mind was in chaos, she stretched out her hand and stopped the maid who had already turned around, "Wait a minute!" Now the eyes of the prince and the maid were looking at her.

Zhao Qingyan tried to keep her calm, the corners of her mouth stiffened and made a smile gesture towards the prince, and then looked at the prince and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, I don't think it's necessary."

After saying this, she didn't dare to pause for a moment, and then continued: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ingredients for cooking in this mansion?" After such a long time, I was already a little hungry. ”

The prince looked at Zhao Qingyan for a moment with a vague look in his eyes, as if he was wondering if what Zhao Qingyan said was true. The maid who was ordered by the prince just now had stopped, while Zhao Qingyan kept sitting in place and looked at the prince stiffly.

Zhao Qingyan's expression was sincere, and after staring at the prince for a while, he heard the prince's voice, "Oh?" The prince was puzzled, and said, "Since Miss Zhao is hungry, then let the cook in the house prepare some food."

After that, the prince called out to the maid just now, "Xiang'er, you go and tell the kitchen." Zhao Qingyan spoke before the maid named Xiang'er, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't need to order the kitchen." You don't know, I usually only eat my own food, and I don't have any motivation to eat what others do. ”

This excuse was too much, Zhao Qingyan noticed the malicious smile flashing on the prince's face, and the prince asked, "Is this really the case?"

"From this point of view, Miss Zhao is really very special." He bit the last two special words very hard, and the eyes that were so deep that he couldn't see the end were the eyes that Zhao Qingyan couldn't describe.

The situation in front of her did not allow Zhao Qingyan to make even a small mistake, so she had to continue to bite the bullet and say: "That's true, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can meet my little request."

The prince stopped talking, and the surroundings were so quiet that Zhao Qingyan could hear her pounding heartbeat, which touched the attention of her whole body. The prince didn't know when he leaned on the seat, and he glanced at Zhao Qingyan with his gaze casually.

Noticing the prince's gaze, Zhao Qingyan could only continue to maintain his original posture. She was already nervous to the extreme, now that Wen Qiao was not here, the entire prince's mansion was almost the prince's hall.

No matter what he wants to do, no one else can stop him. "Then, according to what Miss Zhao said?" The prince asked Zhao Qingyan in an inquiring tone. Hearing this, Zhao Qingyan's breath hanging in her heart finally relaxed, and she couldn't wait for a moment to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Zhao Qingyan immediately saluted the prince. The prince nodded, but his eyes were still firmly glued to Zhao Qingyan, he stared at Zhao Qingyan with a smile for a moment, waved one hand lightly, and instructed Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, you go down and prepare."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hearing the prince's order, Xiang'er's waist swayed slightly, and slowly shook out from the front of the prince and Zhao Qingyan.

The prince stood up, raised his hand and straightened out some messy clothes on his body, and after tidying up, he raised his head and said to Zhao Qingyan, "Miss Zhao, please." Thrillingly bought time for himself, and at the same time as the prince finished saying this, Zhao Qingyan turned around.

She kept her head down and followed the prince only after he had moved. In ancient feudal society, there was a very strict distinction between respect and inferiority, and she was not as idiotic as she played in those bloody TV series.

If you are disrespectful to the prince at this time, the prince can easily clean her up in a hundred ways. When the time comes, she will call the heavens and the earth to be unspiritual, and that will be really miserable.

The Prince's Mansion is also known as the East Palace, as the heir to the next emperor's throne, the prince's residence and life naturally cannot be bad. The entire Prince's Mansion was the size of two Huai'en Mansions, and Zhao Qingyan followed the Prince's Mansion for a while before finally arriving at the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion.

It's a kitchen, but it's a whole yard. Zhao Qingyan followed behind the prince and entered the courtyard, where most of the people were already standing. "Blessed Prince." The people in the courtyard knelt down to the prince and saluted.

"Miss Zhao," the prince turned his head to look at Zhao Qingyan and said, "Since you can only eat the food you make, then go in and try it."
