Bai Mowan’s complexion changed suddenly.

Xiao Jinxing was indeed still concerned about Ye Qichi.

Has he still not let her go?!

He had been by her side all these days, without leaving for a moment.

She thought that Xiao Jinxing had completely let go of Ye Qichi.

Bai Mowan, holding back her displeasure, suddenly leaned onto Xiao Jinxing.

"What happened?" Xiao Jinxing caught Bai Mowan quickly.

"Nothing, it’s just that the wound still hurts a bit," Bai Mowan said, "I’ve been lying in bed for too long, I don’t have much strength in my body."

"I’ll take you back earlier then," Xiao Jinxing said.

"Okay." Bai Mowan nodded.

She didn’t want to come in the first place.

It was only because Xiao Jinxing was coming that she followed him here.

She didn’t want Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi to have any interaction.

Not at all.

So she needed to keep an eye on Xiao Jinxing.

Even if it’s really selfish.

But for Xiao Jinxing, she was willing to always be selfish.

Xiao Jinxing spoke a few words to the people around him and then helped Bai Mowan leave first.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had already walked over to Ye Qichi’s side, "Princess, the Prince is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Ye Qichi wondered.

Could it be that Bai Mowan accidentally aggravated her wound?!

This kind of thing can be either trivial or serious.

Ye Qichi quickly made an excuse to the soldiers who came to toast her, and together with Xie Ruotong, followed Xiao Wu away.

Directly heading towards where Xiao Jinxing was.

Then she saw Xiao Jinxing cautiously supporting Bai Mowan as they walked past them.

He didn’t even notice them.

"Princess." Xiao Wu naturally also saw the intimacy between the Prince and General Bai, and quickly said, "It’s not the Prince looking for you, the Prince asked me to tell you to return earlier, I made up an excuse."

Xiao Wu, seeing the Princess’s expression, quickly spoke reproachfully.

Ye Qichi glanced at Xiao Wu.

Can you find a better excuse next time?

It’s frightening.

She had thought that Bai Mowan was going to die again.

But fortunately.

With Xiao Wu causing this fuss, she also got away smoothly.

She said to Xie Ruotong, "Let’s go, catch some chickens."

Xie Ruotong raised her eyebrows.

Ye Qichi is not jealous at all.

Seeing how the Prince treated Bai Mowan, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, since she came back, she could clearly feel that the Prince seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from the Princess.

"Do you want to join?" Ye Qichi called out to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was confused.

"Let’s go, since your Prince also doesn’t want you to disturb him now, I’ll take you to eat something good," Ye Qichi tempted.

Upon hearing there was good food, and thinking that the Prince now had General Bai’s company, Xiao Wu quickly nodded his head.

The three of them went to the military camp’s backyard, caught two live chickens, and then hurriedly headed into the city.

Directly going to Ye Qichi’s yard.

Xiao Wu was diligent.

The chickens they caught were quickly slaughtered by him, he boiled hot water to pluck all the feathers, and chopped them into the big pieces Ye Qichi wanted.

Xie Ruotong took care of the firewood.

Ye Qichi was the main chef.

The three worked in seamless harmony.

"Princess, isn’t it a waste to use so much oil?" Xiao Wu couldn’t help but speak up.

"After frying the chicken, this oil can still be reused, though reusing oil isn’t very good, but the human body has the ability to repair itself. Eating it once or twice shouldn’t be a big problem," Ye Qichi explained.

Xiao Wu and Xie Ruotong both didn’t quite understand.

Ye Qichi didn’t say much more, she concentrated on frying the chicken.

First, she evenly coated the chicken with flour and various spices, then she instructed Xie Ruotong, "I’m going to start frying now, maintain the fire, it can’t be too strong, it may burn."

"Okay." Xie Ruotong nodded.

Ye Qichi put large chunks of chicken into the pot.

Soon, the fragrance of fried chicken wafted through the air.

Xiao Wu was almost drooling.

He knew that following the Princess, there would definitely be delicious food.

Suddenly, he thought, if one day the Prince and Princess had a falling out... would he never again get to taste the Princess’s cooking.

He felt inexplicably sad.

Less than an hour passed.

Ye Qichi finished frying two portions of chicken and placed them on the table in the courtyard.

"Got any liquor?" Ye Qichi asked.

"Seems like it, let me check." Xiao Wu quickly replied.

Such delicious food couldn’t go without some drink.

"It would be great if there was beer."

"What?" Xiao Wu didn’t quite catch that.

"Never mind, hurry up and find the liquor." Ye Qichi urged, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, check if Gu Xingchuan is around, invite him over to join us for drinks and meat."

"Okay." Xiao Wu agreed and hurried off.

He was thinking about getting back early to munch on the meat.

Ye Qichi and Xie Ruotong didn’t start eating, waiting for Xiao Wu to return.

Ye Qichi thought to herself, when there’s time in the future, she must try brewing some beer.

Beer with fried chicken is the perfect match!

Soon.

Xiao Wu came back carrying a jar of liquor and Gu Xingchuan was following him.

Upon entering the house, they were greeted by an enticing meat aroma.

Gu Xingchuan had already eaten a simple dinner. He didn’t go to the camp to celebrate; he was not fond of lively events generally.

But now, smelling the aroma, he suddenly felt an appetite.

"Come over and sit." Ye Qichi called out and then told Xiao Wu, "Pour the liquor for everyone."

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Wu was enthusiastic.

Everyone in front of them had liquor.

Xie Ruotong only then realized, "I didn’t get chopsticks, I’ll fetch them."

"The essence of eating fried chicken is to use hands, like this." Ye Qichi picked up a piece of chicken casually, its exterior crispy and interior tender. She took a big bite, the sauce bursting out, the flavor was truly amazing.

The chicken was a bit hot, Ye Qichi blew on it and then sucked the sauce from her fingers.

"This is how you eat meat!" After demonstrating, Ye Qichi explained to them.

The others were all, not quite understanding.

How could one simply grab and eat with hands, too uncivilized.

But seeing how deliciously Ye Qichi was eating.

Gu Xingchuan couldn’t resist, grabbing a piece of chicken directly.

Xie Ruotong and Xiao Wu hesitated no more.

Everyone took a big bite.

The taste, simply divine.

Xiao Wu was so moved he was almost in tears, "Princess, this is the best chicken I’ve ever had, the best without a doubt!"

"I’ll make you more delicious dishes when I have time in the future." Ye Qichi was also in a very good mood.

"It’s a pity the Prince isn’t here to eat." Xiao Wu lamented.

Ye Qichi frowned.

It was going so well, why bring up that damn Prince.

A buzzkill.

"Just now when I was looking for the liquor, I ran into the Prince. I told him the Princess made fried chicken and asked if he wanted to come over and eat, but the Prince declined." Xiao Wu said, "If he knew how delicious it was, he would definitely regret it."

Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t regret it.

Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t dare come over here so easily now.

His Wan’er would be unhappy.

Ye Qichi naturally didn’t mind.

Besides, Xiao Jinxing eats so much, if he came, there wouldn’t be enough for them.

"By the way, suddenly feeling a bit nostalgic for Lu You." Ye Qichi muttered.

Everyone looked at her.

Clearly talking about the Prince, and yet the Princess’s thought process was so unique.
