Chapter 214 The Regent’s Skills
Shen Ruzhou's palm-sized face looked astonished, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
She declined, but she didn't expect that Beixiu Yan would try to persuade her to stay and send her back. Why did she feel that Beixiu Yan was so warm-hearted today?
In the previous life, Beixiu Yan was a very cold person, always repelling others from thousands of miles away. Except for Lu Huaining, she had never seen him get close to anyone.
When attending banquets or other events, he would always sit there alone. Anyone who came to ask him for a toast would be cold and indifferent, not even bothering to raise his eyelids. He had never heard of dining with others in private. Said.
In this life, he still has this cold and indifferent temperament. The last time we had dinner together, it was Huaining who asked for it, otherwise he would never have dinner at the same table with her.
Shen Ruzhou suppressed his surprise and still refused.
"I appreciate the regent's kindness, but no, it's better for me to go back early so as not to worry my family."
Bei Xiuyan said nothing, staring at Shen Ruzhou with his dark eyes.
No one spoke, and the air suddenly became a little colder.
Vice General Sun on the side saw the appearance of the two of them, and he already understood the meaning in his heart.
He didn't go to the drinking party yesterday, but from what he heard from others, he clearly felt that the prince seemed to care about this woman's differences.
"Don't be anxious, girl. It's just a meal, and it won't take much time." Vice General Sun deliberately tried to bring him together and said with a smile: "Girl, you have worked so hard to come here. I can't let you go home hungry. Spread the word. It also makes people think that our prince is bullying you."
Shen Ruzhou said anxiously, "No, I wouldn't think so..."
"You have to eat when you go back, and you have to eat here." Vice General Sun interrupted directly and said to Bei Xiuyan: "Prince, please take the girl to have a meal quickly, don't starve others."
"I have already ordered people to prepare the food, let's go." Bei Xiuyan's expression was as indifferent as usual, but his tone was indifferent.
He walked to the door of the camp, opened the curtain, and waited for Shen Ruzhou to move over.
Shen Ruzhou looked at his unfathomable eyes and pursed his lips. He felt inexplicably that Beixiu Yan seemed a little stronger today. He was very distant in the past.
But if you refuse again, it would indeed be a bit rude, but that’s all, it’s just a meal.
"Then, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful." She followed Bei Xiuyan out.
Shen Ruzhou followed Bei Xiuyan and sat down at the dining table. When she saw Beixiu Yan moving her chopsticks, she also picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Beixiu Yan put a piece of tofu into the bowl, turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Shen Ruzhou, and said lightly.
"I'm not forcing you, I'm just starving you and making people laugh at my jokes."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou almost choked.
She looked up in confusion, with some surprise in her eyes.
Who dares to read his jokes?He is Beixiu Yan!
Even the emperor and the queen would give him a hard time. In the previous life, she would have been frightened even if she looked at him. One look in his eyes could make people feel terrified at the Beixiu Banquet!
He dared to rebel in his previous life, but now he is afraid of others laughing at him. Why doesn't Shen Ruzhou believe it?
She looked at Bei Xiuyan's cold and arrogant handsome face, swallowed the food in her mouth, squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
Beixiu Yan was speechless, but his complexion became a little better.
The food in the military camp was not as good as the food in the Regent's Palace. It was very rough. The rice was mixed with a lot of small gravel. Shen Ruzhou's teeth were nicked several times. She didn't dislike it, but she still couldn't help but frown.
Bei Xiuyan noticed her expression and pursed her thin lips slightly.
He was used to eating in the military camp, but he forgot that Shen Ruzhou was a wealthy person who had been raised pampered since childhood, so how could he eat such coarse food.
He stopped his chopsticks and said, "The food in the military camp is a bit rough. If you can't get used to it, I'd better take you to a restaurant to eat."
"No, no, no." Shen Ruzhou smiled slightly, "I'm not that picky."
When she was tortured by Mu Wanqing in her previous life, she never ate any leftovers, just moldy steamed buns. She was so hungry that she had to peel off the skin and stuff it into her mouth in order to fill her stomach. Such food was still Is there anything you can’t get used to?
But she was a little surprised that she could actually eat the Beixiu Banquet?
He is the regent.
Regardless of past and present life, in her memory, Beixiu Yan was a person who was extremely noble, as high as the cold moon in the sky. This kind of food should be difficult for him to swallow.
"Prince Regent, do you usually eat these in the military camp?"
Bei Xiuyan said "Yeah", he picked up the knife and sliced the roasted lamb leg on the table into pieces.
Seeing how calm and calm he was, Shen Ruzhou was even more surprised. He became very curious about Beixiu Yan's character and asked seriously: "How can you, the prince, be so noble and noble and get used to eating like this? Have you ever suffered such hardships in the past?" ?"
The movement of Bei Xiuyan's hand stopped for a moment, and his eyes were in a daze on his handsome face.
It was as if tens of thousands of dead bones flashed before his eyes. Thousands of emaciated children were rolling in dirty mud pits, fighting for food with dogs, covered in blood, and surviving from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
A hint of cruel rage suddenly flashed through Bei Xiuyan's deep eyes, and then he calmed down. He sliced a whole leg of lamb, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped his fingers with an indifferent expression.
"On the battlefield, when food and grass are in short supply, such food is already a luxury. When there is really nothing to eat, I, like all the soldiers, chew tree bark and eat weeds."
Shen Ruzhou was stunned. He didn't expect Beixiu Yan to have suffered so much. Thinking of the illustrious achievements he had accumulated on the battlefield over the years, he had a little more respect for him in his heart.
It's so hard on the battlefield, but I wonder how my father and brother are doing?
Bei Xiuyan saw her distracted look and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shen Ruzhou smiled, but there was sadness in his delicate eyebrows, "I'm just a little worried about my father and brother."
"Your father will come back in triumph." Beixiu Yanfeng Shen's handsome face was as indifferent as ever, but his tone was much softer than usual, "Don't worry."
Shen Ruzhou's pupils suddenly widened and he looked at Bei Xiuyan in surprise.
"Why is the Prince Regent so sure?"
She dared to say that her father was able to return triumphantly because she knew the words. But except for her, everyone who heard the news that the enemy was outnumbered and that her father was seriously injured thought that his father would lose...
Bei Xiuyan looked at her with a calm and low voice.
"Although we are outnumbered, their commander is a young general who has just been promoted. I have heard of him. He is very brave and good at fighting quickly, but he is too young, prone to impatience and inexperienced. Your father, please don't Not to mention his advantages, he is extremely patient and good at dealing with others, which happens to be his nemesis.”
"Moreover, your father was seriously injured, which is detrimental to our army, but when this news reaches the enemy, it will only make them relax and make their commander look down upon them even more,"
"So, it may not be impossible to win. Perhaps, we will achieve a great victory and shock all parties -"
