The Crown Prince saw that she almost ate her fill, putting a piece of tofu into his mouth, smilingly said, “I saved you again, how do you plan to thank me?” —-Zhu WuXin isn’t a person that can be easily taken advantage of.“With the exception of ‘devoting my life to you’[1], anything else is up to you.”She didn’t lift her head up, just continued eating.
Even that sentence need to be pushed out through the gap of her teeth.For those who knew, she was actually afraid of leakage (of food) from her mouth.
For those who don’t know, they would have thought the Crown Prince was forcing her to do thing ‘that cannot see the light’[2], gritting teeth like that.To be honest ba, the main concern was Zhu WuXin haven’t have enough time to eat now, how can she muster any effort to think on how to repay him ah?Crown Prince choked a bit on something, suddenly turned to a side and violently coughed.This time, Zhu WuXin raised her eyes to look at him, “Are you alright? How can you manage to choke on a piece of tofu?”He coughed for a long time, his fair and clear skin turned red from it then finally ceased.“You are not quite the same as what Ning Huang said you were.”“What did she said?”“She said you were very timid, not talkative, a bit gloomy, a little silly.”“Then what do you think of that now?”“You are very brave. Very clever.” The Crown Prince bluntly praised her.Being praised, Zhu WuXin happily accepted it.
Acting the show accordingly depending on the type of person in front, that is the most important thing that modern people had learned.
Not to mention, there was no one who transmigrated that doesn’t need time to adapt to the new environment.After a long while only did Zhu WuXin turned to him, using the greeting method of those martial artist cupping fist, cupped her fist and said, “Thank you.”
Finishing her word, she continued to eat.The Crown Prince was surprised by her action, stared blankly. Then his eyelids twitched once, “I thought you have something to say.”“HAHAHAHA, you are really interesting…….. HAHAHAHA……”Zhu WuXin raised up her head, quickly stretched out her hand to grab a plate of roasted chicken in front of him to place in front of herself.
Seeing that, the Crown Prince laughed more cheerfully.Your mother v*gina, this was a good chicken. Though letting him laughed full of punctuation marks at her, she just continued eating.
Zhu WuXin was a bit baffled by his laugh, but she didn’t say anything as her aim in life was to eat until full, anything else will only continue after that.‘Don’t talk while eating, don’t speak while sleeping’[3].
Ever since she came to this ancient time, she had never has a good meal.The Crown Prince was very patient, waiting for her to finish eating.
With the exception of his spasm just now, he didn’t bothered her.After the food has been cleared away, Zhu WuXin then stood up and seriously thanked him once more.
And she asked about how long her injuries will heal, intended to go back after she gets better.
Crown Prince didn’t expect her to be in such a hurry to go.
He don’t understand why.“You gets bullied in Zhu House, how about just stay at my side in the future ba?”Zhu WuXin shook her head with force, “Many thanks for Crown Prince’s good intention, that is my home after all. In the end I still have to go back.”Regardless what was said, Crown Prince and her have only met twice. Strictly speaking, they are still considered strangers.On one hand, Zhu WuXin doesn’t have the habit to live in someone else’s home.
On the other hand, she didn’t watch any less ancient period drama, so she has a natural aversion towards the Palace.Most importantly, only by staying inside Zhu House that she can reverse the situation to victory so she must go back.Fortunately Crown Prince told her that as long as the injuries are being taken cared properly, it will soon heal so she no longer insisted.Anyway, this is ancient times. She can’t not leave any face to the Crown Prince.
Who knows if he suddenly gotten enraged and have her ‘salad with dressing’[4], then wouldn’t she lost more than she gained?
And so, Zhu WuXin let out a deep breath and smiled at him with a ‘lackey’ smile, “Have to trouble your Highness then.”[1] : 以身相許 – Sacrificing body as repayment
[2] : 見不得光的事情 – Illegal stuff, matters that cannot be shown to public
[3] : 食不言，寢不語 – Saying, simply means don’t talk while eating
[4] : 涼拌 – I googled this and the result came back either the salad or ‘nonsensical rambling’. I a.s.sume WuXin just make up a word to subst.i.tute the bad things that going to happen to her if she make the Crown Prince angry.
