Although Xuanyuan Zhi despised Lin Chujiu in words and deeds, he took great pains to prepare meals. It can be said that Xuanyuan Zhi didn’t neglect Lin Chujiu in terms of the dishes. To be more specific, Xuanyuan Zhi’s subordinates bothered to prepare her good meals.

Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running in the mountains… … Lin Chujiu can see the most excellent dishes in the palace banquet on this table. Some dishes were even more exquisite than those in the palace.

But after thinking about it, she can understand, after all, the eastern country was founded less than a hundred years ago. While the central empire has been passed down for thousands of years. There was no need to compare the thousand-year-old imperial family to a century-old imperial family.

“How is it? Are you satisfied with today’s food?” Seeing the flash of surprise in Lin Chujiu’s eyes, Xuanyuan Zhi asked triumphantly.

Lin Chujiu can hide her reaction to others, but not to him. These dishes were meticulously selected by him. There will be no problem eating one dish alone, but if people eat more than two dishes, combined with Lin Chujiu’s broken body even if he can’t kill her, he will be able to reduce her life for ten years.

“The dishes prepared by the eldest prince are excellent.” Lin Chujiu softly smiled, but in her heart, she cursed Xuanyuan Zhi many times. She threw out all the swear words she had learned in her entire life.

She studied medicine. Even if she was not very proficient in Chinese medicine, she understands the principle of food restraint. She also understands that some foods cannot be eaten during the medication period. But Xuanyuan Zhi prepared 90% of the dishes that were bad for her. It can be estimated that there were also problems with the remaining ones.

Even if she only eat one bite of these dishes, she was sure that it will kill her. As everyone knows, her dilapidated body was not comparable to any ordinary person. So even if these meals don’t kill her on the spot, she will have to live less than ten years.

Xuanyuan Zhi’s move can be described as killing without seeing blood. She knew it was a trap, but she had to jump down… …

Xuanyuan Zhi is ruthless!

Lin Chujiu scolded inside her heart, but the smile on her face became brighter. Her eyebrows were flat as if she didn’t know Xuanyuanzhi’s conspiracy. For a moment, Xuanyuan Zhi also felt that Lin Chujiu might not know anything, but soon Xuanyuan Zhi denied this idea because… …

After he moved the chopsticks, Lin Chujiu also moved her chopsticks, but only ate the dish in front of her.

“Really a smart girl.” Xuanyuan Zhi put down his chopsticks and praised her with a smile.

He knows his calculations, but she pretended like she doesn’t know anything. Pretended to be stupid and let him suffer from this boring loss.

Lin Chujiu’s coping strategy was very good. He didn’t tear her face so that she won’t be able to avoid this storm. He would never allow it. The gap between their identity destined Lin Chujiu to have no autonomy.

When Xuanyuan Zhi put down his chopsticks, Lin Chujiu also stopped, then said helplessly: “No matter how smart you are, you can’t be any smarter than others. In front of the eldest prince, I’m just playing a little smarter.”

Lin Chujiu was still smiling like a flower. Her tone was calm, not angry, nor irritated. As if the two of them were close friends talking about something trivial and not a matter of life or death.

“It’s too late to compliment me now.” Xuanyuan Zhi admitted that dealing with a smart woman like Lin Chujiu was really comfortable. If Lin Chujiu was not Princess Xiao, if Lin Chujiu did not calculate him, he would definitely bring Lin Chujiu back to the Central Empire.

A smart woman doesn’t need people to instruct her. It would be very great to have such a woman by his side.
