Medical Princess

Glancing at the only bowl of noodles, Shao Wanru swallowed her saliva reluctantly. She also felt hungry and wanted to eat her longevity noodles. However, Chu Liuchen, who sat opposite to her, sat up and picked up the chopsticks, seeming to be about to eat the noodles.

She picked up the bowl and looked at Chu Liuchen. Seeing him looking at the noodles with eager eyes naturally, she felt extremely aggrieved, took a deep breath and realized that he came for her longevity noodles today and she had no choice but to give in to him given the circumstances.

She pushed the noodles over. Despite her grievance, she had to show a graceful smile, because she could not let this moody man realize her reluctance.

She felt indignant, while put on a gentle expression. Since she lived with Shao Yanru, Shao Wanru felt that she had done an increasingly good job in putting on a gentle expression.

“Your Highness, please have some noodles!”

Chu Liuchen replied with an “uh”, took the tray away from the table impatiently, picked up an end of the noodle and began to eat slowly. There was actually not a lot of noodles. After he took a few mouthfuls, there was less than half a bowl of noodles left, and Shao Wanru could even see the other end of the noodle. She looked toward Chu Liuchen’s face along the noodle with her watery eyes. Although it was inconvenient to eat a long noodle, he acted very elegantly.

She looked at the noodles eagerly, swallowed again and asked almost subconsciously, “Your Highness, is it delicious?”

“Great. Zhuozhuo, do you feel like have a taste of it?” Chu Liuchen picked up the noodle with chopsticks, swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile. He had never seen her act so greedily before. At this moment, he found her reluctant and helpless expression quite interesting.

Daring not preparing another bowl of noodles for him, she deserved it!

“Your Highness, are you going to give me back my longevity noodles?” Shao Wanru said in surprise and reached for the other pair of chopsticks on the side. There were two pairs of chopsticks.

“Eat it!” Chu Liuchen said with a smile and pointed to the other end of the noodle in the bowl.

Glancing at the few noodles left, she thought that today was her birthday and she should be the boss to whom everyone should listen. Then glancing at Chu Liuchen, who picked up the other end of the noodle with his chopsticks, she found that he had stopped eating. He should be full and seemed to be about to put down his chopsticks.

She was really reluctant to see the longevity noodles Yujie made for her eaten by Chu Liuchen.

She suddenly lost her head, picked up the other end of the noodle and sucked it hard at the fastest speed in her life. She thought that she could eat at least half of the noodles in the bowl at a time. After that, she would stop eating and leave the rest of the noodles to Chu Liuchen generously so as not to waste the noodles Yujie made for her.

Thinking of this, she sucked hard and took a full mouthful of noodles. However, she suddenly failed to continue sucking the noodle. She looked up in astonishment, only to find that the rest of the noodle was in Chu Liuchen’s mouth and she was only a little distance away from his thin lips. For a moment, she was so shocked that she bit hard and cut up the noodle.

She subconsciously chewed the noodle hard and managed to swallow the noodle in her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging, making her look like a little pet that was eating. She was not as elegant as usual, but more innocent and real.

Chu Liuchen swallowed the noodle in his mouth gracefully, while looking at Shao Wanru’s face with a smile. Then his eyes fell on her red lips which were originally so bright-colored that they looked incomparably flamboyant even if she didn’t wear any lipstick. But now, her lips became a little hotter and more attractive after she ate some noodles. He saw this with his eyes becoming deep.

Shao Wanru almost wolfed down the noodle. When she swallowed the last mouthful, she subconsciously looked up at Chu Liuchen, only to see him looking at her with his deep eyes. She was shocked and shy, and her face turned red. She swallowed the last mouthful of noodle too fast and choked on it.

She clutched her chest, turned around and coughed hard. As a hand coming from behind patted her gently a few times, she heard an elegant and gentle voice from behind, “You are too careless. You don’t need to eat in a rush. I’ll treat you to some noodles next time!”

Shao Wanru coughed so hard that she almost couldn’t breathe. It was obvious that he suddenly continued eating the noodle and got close to her, but he described her as someone eating in a rush.

She was shy and angry with a blush which she didn’t know was caused by cough or shyness.

Struggling to stop coughing, Shao Wanru found a cup in front of her and reached out to take it without hesitation. After taking a few sips, she finally suppressed her discomfort.

She raised her watery eyes full of tears caused by coughing, looked at Chu Liuchen reproachfully and tried to say with a serious look, “Your Highness, if you intend to eat all of the noodles, just tell me. Why did you eat the noodle while I was eating!”

She was extremely shy, but still attempted to act sedately and decently. However, her charming eyes were almost overflowing with tears and looked so pitiful that made him feel tender toward her.

He felt that she was just a child pretending to be an adult.

Chu Liuchen found it increasingly amusing. She didn’t realize how aggrieved she looked at the moment, but thought that she looked very dignified and strict.

The delight lit up every part of his handsome face and finally fell into his eyes. He reached out to gently pinch her tender white face and said, “Okay, okay, I won’t do that again!”

If he went on teasing her, she would definitely become angry from embarrassment!

After saying that, he drew a gift box from his bosom, pushed it to Shao Wanru and said, “Have a look and see if you like it. This is your birthday gift from me. I heard that they are made by a famous craftsman.”

“Made by a famous craftsman?” Shao Wanru said. She tried to stop thinking about what had happened just now and reached out to take the box with a little curiosity about the gift made by a famous craftsman. She had a set of jewels made by a famous craftsman before and almost quarreled with Di Fenglan for them.

She opened the box and saw that it was a set of tourmaline head-ornaments. It included an orchid-shaped hairpin. Different from usual orchid-shaped ornaments which were elegant and light-colored, the orchid-shaped hairpin was bright and vibrant and made of yellow and light purple tourmaline with superb techniques. The two colors adding some novelty to the orchid which looked extremely elegant, coupled with the excellent workmanship, made the hairpin look vivid and lifelike.

The earrings were also orchid-shaped. The two hanging eardrops were two long pink orchids each of which had two pieces of green leaves.

It also included a frontlet with a hanging orchid as big as a seed pearl in the middle. The orchid was small but exquisite and made of tourmaline which was white touched with red, making the frontlet peerlessly delicate.

It was a set of orchid-shaped jewels. Shao Wanru had seen plenty of sets of jewels, but had never seen such beautiful orchid-shaped jewels. She was born in early autumn and liked plain and elegant orchids. Although Tang Qianyan was popular in the capital and there were a few people who liked orchids, she only liked orchids.

“Thanks, Your Highness!” Looking at the gift in her hand lovingly, Shao Wanru couldn’t help smiling. As a girl, she liked this kind of jewels striking her fancy. Although she couldn’t wear them now, it was pleasant to have a look at them.

“I’ve brought the gift in person, and I should leave now. If there is any problem, just send Qing’er to my mansion!” Chu Liuchen looked at Shao Wanru’s smiling face with satisfaction, stood up and said leisurely. After that, under Shao Wanru’s surprised eyes, he stretched out his slender finger to wipe Shao Wanru’s little face, and then a piece of chopped green onion appeared on his white finger.

The blush, which had just faded a little, immediately spread all over her face. She said angrily, “Your Highness…”

“You don’t have to pull me. I really have some business and have to leave!” Chu Liuchen pinched her face with his fingers, felt her skin as smooth as congealed butter, raised his pretty eyes and said gently.

She really felt that his words seemed to come from a graceful childe in the secular world without being stained by dust, if she ignored what he had done just now!

“Your Highness, take care. I won’t bother to see you out!” Shao Wanru bit her lip and said in anger. He was such an evil man with two faces!

“You don’t have to do that. I will leave on my own!” Chu Liuchen waved his hand gently and said. After that, he walked to the door slowly under Shao Wanru’s angry big eyes and opened the half-closed door. Seeing a few servants standing in front of the door, he walked out.

Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly followed him.

When walking to the yard, Chu Liuchen suddenly stopped and turned to look at the main room with a trace of perceptible coldness in his gentle and dignified pretty eyes.

Shao Yanru, who was peeking behind the window, hurriedly hid behind the curtain. At that moment, she felt that she seemed to be seen by the pair of eyes as sharp as a knife. Although she knew that she was unlikely to be seen, she was still flustered.

When she slowly leaned out, she found that Chu Liuchen had disappeared in the courtyard. He should have left. She leaned back against the curtain, showing jealousy and hatred in her beautiful eyes.

She had spent a period of time with Prince Chen when she was young. Why was Shao Wanru the only one attracting Prince Chen’s attention? As a cold and aloof man, Prince Chen should not care about anyone. Why did he save Shao Wanru at the palace gate? Why did he go to Shao Wanru’s room instead of her room today?

She refused to accept it. Was it because Shao Wanru was the granddaughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess and Prince Chen’s so-called “cousin”? At the thought of this, she rolled her eyes and sat down in front of the table with a sneer. Although Prince Chen was unlikely to inherit the throne, he was extremely handsome. Neither Prince Yue nor Prince Zhou could compare with him.

She refused to accept that she lost because she was not the granddaughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess!

Apart from his good look, Prince Chen was actually of some other use. At least he was favored by the Empress Dowager. It was said that even the Emperor always listened to his words. If she could make him fall in love with her, it would be quite helpful.

Although she was unwilling to marry Prince Chen, she was willing to be the cinnabar, which never faded, in his heart.

Shao Wanru was unqualified to compete with her. She knew Prince Chen earlier and had childhood friendship with him. It was impossible that Shao Wanru’s identity as his “cousin” could bring them closer!

Shao Yanru rolled her eyes and began to ponder on how she could find a chance to get close to Prince Chen. Prince Chen had always disliked being approached by others. She had pretended to bump into him before, but failed. What should she do to attract his attention now?

With a flash of sparkle in her eyes, she suddenly thought of something and said to Shuqi, “Let’s go to visit Pushan Nun!”

Prince Chen would never come up the mountain for no reason. She guessed that it should have something to do with Pushan Nun’s entering the imperial palace. She had to find the right time…
