"Hey!"

"Prince Chen!"

Lanxin and Gu Yunxi cried out in unison.

The other servants set out after hearing the sound, and the cooks also ran out of the kitchen to find what had happened. Soon, Jinzhu supported Concubine Xu to come to the courtyard.

The fool was crazily active. Finding a lot of people coming, he released Gu Yunxi and sat on the ground, shaking his limbs constantly in order to eat the food on Lanxin's tray.

Concubine Xu asked about the situation, simply obeyed Prince Chen's intention, and rewarded them with some delicious food.

The three people returned to the side room, cleaned their hands, and ate around the table.

Lanxin looked at the sumptuous meals with her face lighting up with pleasure, and said.

"Hahaha, this is the blessing of Prince Chen to eat such good things. Hey, you are so helpful!"

Lanxin turned to look at Prince Chen on the side of the table.

Prince Chen bent down with his sluggish eyes staring at the dazzling food on the table, and smirked.

Hearing that Lanxin was talking about him, he suddenly bounced up, turned his head around, and retorted.

"You are stupid. You are a fool."

"Yeah, so you can understand the actual meaning of the words!"

Lanxin sniggered.

Gu Yunxi looked helpless, feeling both angry and funny.

She put a bowl of rice in front of Prince Chen. She looked at Lanxin and seemed dissatisfied.

"You! Why do you make fun of him? He is the son of the Emperor anyway. He is the master. Don't be impolite like those people!"

Lanxin reluctantly smiled, and made a blessing to Prince Chen with her hands folded. She simmered with laughter.

"Fine, thanks for your provision."

Prince Chen smiled and waved his sloppy robe. He said in his stern voice.

"My dear minister, forego these formalities. Since you are so happy, I will come here every day and let Concubine Xu reward you with delicious food!"

Lanxin stunned, then smiled more happily.

"Oh!? You've got wisdom today! Are you going to come here every day for food? No way! Eat quickly!"

Prince Chen stuck his tongue out, made a grimace at Lanxin, and smirked at Gu Yunxi.

"Little Sister, you feed me."

Gu Yunxi was dumbfounded, and her mouth opened wide in surprise.

However, he was the prince while Gu Yunxi was a servant. The latter should serve the former.

Furthermore, Prince Chen was unable to take care of himself because of his mental insufficiency. His three meals a day must be fed by the nannies of Wutong Garden.

Therefore, Gu Yunxi put a few dishes into Prince Chen's bowl, mixed them with rice, and fed them to him.

She unknowingly recalled the scene in the Kanfang Courtyard two years ago. At that time, she looked the same as now and was dressed like a guard of the Eastern Depot to feed him by herself.

Now he held the cloth tiger in his arms and ate a lot of food contentedly. His foolish look was completely innocent and not very annoying.

Prince Chen pulled the chair and approached Gu Yunxi. With his eyes narrowing, he quietly chewed his mouthful of food.

A pair of handsome eyes looked directly at her face. His seemingly deep and bottomless eyes moved slightly, quietly lingering on the girl's mediocre features. It was like exploration and doubt, as well as ups and downs. His feeling was extremely complicated.

After swallowing a bite of food, Prince Chen suddenly said.

"Little Sister, you smell really good. I smelled the same fragrance a few years ago, haha..."

Gu Yunxi's heart trembled, and her hands with the spoon shook slightly uncontrollably, knocking a spoon of rice.

Prince Chen looked down to see the shattered rice ball beside the table and a light smile appeared on his lips, faintly absent.

What was the flaw?

Gu Yunxi was flustered for a while, and secretly guessed that Prince Chen had recognized that she was the guard who had fed him in the Kanfang Courtyard.

Impossible! Calm down! Don't scare yourself...

"What is this fool saying? I tell you that our Muxue has only been in the Palace for more than a month!"

Lanxin was not calm. The sound of laughter rose from across the table, and a hint of cunning appeared on her face. She looked at Prince Chen and then at Gu Yunxi, and continued to laugh.

"Muxue, I'm afraid this fool loses his heart to you."

Gu Yunxi was shocked and frowned, saying.

"Don't talk nonsense. What does he know?!"

Lanxin didn't dare to laugh anymore and lowered her head to eat. Her mouth was full, and she was anxious to speak before swallowing.

As a result, a grain of rice was sucked into her throat, which made her cough violently. And all the residue in her mouth was sprayed onto the table.

Prince Chen clapped his hands and laughed. Gu Yunxi was originally angry, but was amused by Lanxin's action. She also burst out laughing.

Lanxin wiped her canthus and laughed with them.

Madam Liao passed the side room and heard the laughter inside. Her face instantly became gloomy. She spat to the door of the room with hands rested on her hips, and screamed.

"Bi*ch, you laugh so loudly right now but someday you will cry!"

After dinner, Lanxin packed up the dishes, sent them to the kitchen, and came back.

Seeing that Prince Chen had not left yet and was sitting on the chair carefreely, she complained with an unhappy expression.

"Why doesn't he go back to the Wutong Garden after having the meal? I only have thirty-minute free time, and I want to have a rest on the bed for a while!"

Gu Yunxi couldn't help scratching her head and said.

"You can have a rest. I will send him back."

"I won't go——"

Hearing it, Prince Chen made an unreasonable scene again. When he was clamoring, he jumped onto Gu Yunxi's bed and said.

"I won't leave. I don't have enough fun!"

Gu Yunxi was angry but also helpless. She was a servant and couldn't do anything with her master.

When she walked to the bed, she put up a hypocritical smile on her face, and persuaded gently.

"Be good, Prince Chen. I have some things to do. I will play with you next time."

"Lies! Lies! I won't obey you."

Prince Chen knelt on the bed, and the dirt on the soles of his boots had stained the clean sheets.

He seemed to be angry, too. He picked up a pillow and threw it at Gu Yunxi. Then he opened the wooden box beside the bed and turned over the clothes inside.

"Stop making trouble——"

Gu Yunxi was anxious and frustrated, and then stopped him. Lanxin also stepped forward to help her.

When Lanxin grabbed Prince Chen, Gu Yunxi picked up the clothes on the ground, and prepared to sort out and put them in the wooden box. However, she found a strange red embossed brocade box beside the rouge box of Hanfu cream at the bottom of the box.

"Ah! What's this?"

Gu Yunxi took out the brocade box and opened it only to find an exquisite jade bracelet in the box.

Gu Yunxi picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully. She saw that the materials were delicate and transparent, and the color was waxy and smooth. The charming flowers on it were green and light like thin clouds.

Apparently, the luxurious and exquisite jade bracelet was a rare treasure and of great value.

Lanxin was shocked all of a sudden, and pointed to the bracelet, stammering.

"This is Concubine Xu's! A few months ago, she was given a reward by the Emperor on her birthday, and she wore it for a while. I saw it when I sent stuff to the palace!"

Gu Yunxi looked terrified as if she had been hit in the head, and then froze on the spot.

She was very wronged with anxious eyes turning to Lanxin.

"I didn't steal it... Lanxin, please trust me!'

Lanxin bit her lips and nodded determinedly.

Muxue was her good friend, and she knew Muxue's morality.

After a moment of silence, Lanxin was determined and said.

"It's Madam Liao! Last time her niece ran to the Imperial Ceremony Office to betray you. She was the one who made the decision. I've found she was jealous of you a long time ago. She hopes to push you out of the Chuxiu Palace. This time she must have snared you again, wanting you to commit the crime of stealing, so that Concubine Xu will no longer appoint you!"

Gu Yunxi lowered her head and pondered. Her eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice.

"Since I entered the Palace, I have been cautious all the time. I just want to keep my duty and have nothing more to ask for. Why have those people snared me several times?"

Lanxin stepped forward, took Yunxi's cold hands, and asked comfortingly.

"What should we do now? How about returning it when nobody notices?"

A cold sweat slipped on Gu Yunxi's delicate forehead. She looked gloomy, and couldn't help but sigh.

"In any case, they can't tolerate me. If this time I deal with it by myself, I will be conspired again next time. Yet right now, I can't think of a good way to fight back."

Gu Yunxi raised her head in surprise when feeling that someone took what was in her hand. She saw that the precious bracelet had already been in the hands of the silly Prince.

"Prince Chen, give it to me!"

Gu Yunxi was panic and reached out to grab it. Prince Chen laughed and ran around the house with the bracelet up. Gu Yunxi rushed to chase him.

Lanxin bypassed the table and chairs to intercept Prince Chen. He did not have time to stop, and hit Lanxin. The bracelet in his hand fell to the ground, and it broke into several segments in an instant. The crisp sound could be heard clearly.
