Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 283
283 Indecent
Xiao Juan walked into the dining room and saw that the dishes were already placed on the table.
He looked around but did not see Yu Niaoniao.
He asked, “Where’s Niaoniao?”
Granny Xiu Yan replied respectfully, “The Princess Consort is still in the kitchen. She said that she’s preparing a unique snack.”
!!
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yu Niaoniao walk in with a plate.
Xiao Juan’s nose twitched slightly.
He smelled a peculiar stench.
At first, he thought it was something rotting. When Yu Niaoniao walked up to him and the stench became stronger, he realized that the stench was coming from her.
To be precise, it came from the plate of food in her hand.
Xiao Juan subconsciously held his breath. “What is this?”
Yu Niaoniao placed the plate on the table and introduced it with a smile.
“This is called stinky tofu. It’s especially delicious. Try it quickly.”
Xiao Juan looked at the black tofu on the plate and his expression became indescribable.
This thing was so smelly. How could it still be delicious?
He immediately refused.
“I don’t like tofu. Take it away.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Although this tofu smells bad, it tastes delicious. Try it if you don’t believe me.”
She picked up a piece of stinky tofu and handed it over.
Xiao Juan immediately leaned back and expressed his resistance.
Seeing that he refused to eat, Yu Niaoniao felt very regretful.
“It’s such a pity that you don’t even try such delicious food.”
Xiao Juan did not reply.
Even if he starved to death, he would never eat such smelly food.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to eat it. I’ll eat it myself.”
With that, Yu Niaoniao opened her mouth and took a bite of the stinky tofu.
The stinky tofu was fried until its surface was charred and crispy. It was also sprinkled with garlic soup, chopped peppers, chopped green onions, sour radish cubes, and other ingredients. The salty and fragrant soup surged into her mouth. Coupled with the sour and spicy radish cubes, the taste was one word—absolute!
She took one bite after another, and the stinky tofu cracked as she bit it.
If he ignored the plate of smelly stinky tofu in front of her, Xiao Juan would think that she was eating some peerless delicious food from the way she savored the tofu.
The entire dining hall was occupied by the smell of stinky tofu.
Xiao Juan really could not stand this smell. He ordered someone to open all the doors and windows so that the room could be ventilated.
The plate of stinky tofu was quickly wiped out by Yu Niaoniao.
She took a sip of chicken soup in satisfaction. “It’s so delicious!”
Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly, hesitating if he should find a physician to take a look at her.
After all, she had eaten so much stinky tofu just now. What if it resulted in a bad stomach?
However, Yu Niaoniao did not feel uncomfortable at all.
After eating the stinky tofu, she ate another bowl of soup noodles.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Xiao Juan temporarily dispelled the idea of hiring a physician for her.
After dinner, Xiao Juan urged Yu Niaoniao to quickly bathe and change.
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “I just took a bath yesterday. I didn’t sweat today, so I don’t have to take a bath, right?”
Who would take a bath every day in such cold weather? Aren’t they afraid of freezing?
Xiao Juan was very insistent. “Go wash up.”
Although she had already finished the stinky tofu, the stench on her body still lingered for a long time.
If he went to bed with her like this, he was afraid that he would dream of stinky tofu.
That feeling was suffocating just thinking about it.
Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to take a bath and change into a clean nightgown.
When she returned to the bedroom, the stench on her body had already disappeared.
The two of them lay down on the bed.
Xiao Juan turned his head and could smell the faint fragrance coming from her body. At this moment, he could finally relax completely. He would finally not have nightmares tonight.
The next morning, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan finished their breakfast.
The two of them prepared to go to the Justice Department.
Before leaving, Yu Niaoniao specially asked Chun Feng and Ye Yu to move the remaining stinky tofu into the carriage.
Seeing this, Xiao Juan’s expression immediately changed.
“What are you doing?”
Yu Niaoniao said happily, “The stinky tofu is so delicious. I can’t eat it alone. I have to bring it to the Justice Department and let everyone try it.”
With that, she lifted her skirt and boarded the carriage.
Xiao Juan looked at the carriage in front of him and did not move for a long time.
Yu Niaoniao leaned against the carriage window and asked him.
“Why don’t you get in the carriage?”
In the carriage, there was not only Yu Niaoniao but a bucket full of stinky tofu. Xiao Juan really could not stand riding in the same carriage as the stinky tofu.
“I want to ride today.”
He ordered someone to bring Dark Cloud over and mounted his horse.
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “It’s so cold today. Why aren’t you riding in the carriage with me?”
Xiao Juan replied without changing his expression, “I don’t feel cold.”
“Okay.”
The carriage moved forward steadily. Xiao Juan rode his horse and followed unhurriedly.
They successfully arrived at the Justice Department.
Yu Niaoniao jumped out of the carriage and asked the coachman to help carry the bucket of stinky tofu down.
The Eagle Guards guarding the door were very curious when they saw the county princess with a wooden bucket.
“What’s in your bucket?”
Yu Niaoniao said mysteriously, “It’s a new delicacy I made. You’ll know what it is when we have lunch.”
The Eagle Guards trusted the Princess Consort’s culinary skills very much. When they heard that she had made delicious food again, they were immediately excited.
Ever since the Princess Consort came to the Justice Department, the food standards of the Eagle Guards had soared.
The direct result was that the average weight of the Eagle Guards increased significantly.
In order to prevent the Eagle Guards from gaining weight early, Xiao Juan gave the order to strengthen training.
Recently, the Eagle Guards had doubled their training.
When Yu Niaoniao passed by the drill ground, she saw the Eagle Guards doing their morning exercise. All of them were so tired that they were sweating profusely.
A few of them even took off their tops, revealing their muscular arms.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but take a few more glances, and her footsteps slowed down.
Those chest muscles and those abs!
Their figure was really amazing!
A man coughed beside her.
Cough cough!
Yu Niaoniao immediately looked away and pretended not to see anything. She continued walking seriously.
Xiao Juan called Meng Xizhou over and ordered in a low voice.
“From today onwards, the Eagle Guards are not allowed to take off their clothes in the Justice Department, especially in broad daylight!”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to glance at the few guys who had taken off their shirts and scolded coldly, “It’s indecent!”
Meng Xizhou was confused.
After Duke Lang walked away with a dark expression, Meng Xizhou ran to Lo Pingsha to complain.
“I wonder what’s wrong with Your Highness today?
“Suddenly, we’re not allowed to take our clothes off in the Justice Department.”
“Didn’t we always take off our clothes during training?”
“Especially in the summer. The weather was so hot. Who could withstand it?”
“Didn’t we take off a few clothes in the past? I didn’t hear His Highness say that it was immoral.”
Lo Pingsha said calmly, “Things are different now.”
Meng Xizhou did not understand. “How is it different?”
“In the past, the Justice Department was filled with men. It’s different now. The Princess Consort often enters the Justice Department.”
Meng Xizhou came to a realization and slapped his forehead. “That’s right! The Princess Consort was passing by just now. It’s indeed indecent.”
He immediately shouted at the Eagle Guards who had taken off their shirts.
“Hurry up and put on your clothes! If the Princess Consort sees you again, be careful that His Highness will skin you alive!”
