The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 20
The window of the private room was closed at some point, blocking out the noise outside.

When the food was on the table, Lin Zhiyu tasted it in small bites, eating in a polite and well-behaved manner.

She has an excellent appetite, and after being weak in her previous life, she cherishes her body more than anyone else in this life.

She used to find it hard to swallow the tonic, but if she didn't try to be clever and evade it, she would definitely be full after eating three meals a day.

In comparison, Pei Shizhi was a bit indifferent. He took a sip of the tea brought by Lin Zhiyu and said, "My prince came here today because he has a gift that he wants to give to Yao Yao."

Lin Zhiyu was flattered when he heard this and quickly put down his chopsticks.

"Han Qing."

Han Qing presented the gift box, which contained the same hosta that Princess Jianning ordered Pei Shizhi to deliver to Lin Zhiyu.

This hairpin is far inferior to the golden phoenix hairpin that Pei Shizhi gave to Xie Yiwan, but it is still outstanding enough and cannot be obtained by ordinary families.

As soon as she saw the hosta, Lin Zhiyu's eyes showed deep love, holding the box as if it were a treasure weighing a thousand pounds.

"Do you still like it?"

Lin Zhiyu smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much."

"If you like it, try it on."

Pei Shizhi sat still, uttering doting and gentle words on his lips, and there was a bit of insouciance in his eyes that was difficult to catch.

Lin Zhiyu shook his head restrainedly and carefully put the box at hand, "My maid, I want to take it back and treasure it."

Pei Shizhi raised his eyebrows, "Accessories are for wearing, not hiding them."

Lin Zhiyu's cheeks flushed, "This is different. This is the first gift given by the Crown Prince to his maidens. Except for this one, the other maidens will definitely obey His Majesty's wishes and wear them."

"Is Yaoyao asking for something from this prince?"

Lin Zhiyu shook his head in panic, "I have no such intention!"

Pei Shizhi chuckled. Lin Zhiyu's admiration for him satisfied his bad nature as a man, but he also felt that Lin Zhiyu's vision was too shallow.

Thanks to Yiwan's absence, the hairpin was given away, and Pei Shizhi just wanted to leave quickly.

"On New Year's Eve, I wanted to give this hairpin to you, but something important happened to be happening that day, so I had no choice but to leave first. Don't blame me for delaying it until today."

"My daughter is late and has kept His Highness waiting for a long time."

The girl's eyes are as clear as a clear spring, and people can easily see what she is thinking.

She didn't have any resentment towards him for breaking the promise. She was sincere and sincere, as if he asked her to wait in vain for her whole life. As long as he could finally look back, she would be willing to do so.

Pei Shizhi now felt that Lin Zhiyu was not as vulgar as he had previously thought, let alone that he was not even good at speaking in front of others as his friends had said.

Not arrogant or impetuous, but not particularly annoying.

Don't believe all the rumors, they are true.

It's a pity that she has no ideas, and he already has Awan.

If she could be obedient and obedient as always and wait until he succeeds, there would be no need to get rid of him.

"My daughter has also prepared a gift for His Highness during this trip."

Pei Shizhi curled his lips and said with interest, "Oh?"

"Bring me the books and stuff."

"Yes."

After a while, the yellow fruits with clear edges and corners were placed in front of Pei Shizhi, and a full basket of thirty or forty fruits was piled up.The other box is also full of green lychees.

"This star fruit..."

Pei Shizhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Zhiyu seemed not to notice his change, and explained enthusiastically: "My mother specially ordered people to transport these carambolas from the southwest. They said they were produced in midsummer last year. In order to preserve the freshness and sweetness, local farmers were specially sent to use ice. Stacked ice caves are frozen.”

"I heard that Princess Jianning likes to eat sweet and sour food. This fruit is sour and sweet but not greasy, and full of juice. It can just relieve the greasy food during the New Year."

"Yao Yao is determined."

Pei Shizhi smiled absently, thinking of Xie Yiwan.

Just now when the two of them were rubbing each other's temples, he tasted the fragrance of star fruits. When they discussed this matter, she thanked her and said that her mother spent a lot of money to find the star fruits and gave them to relatives and friends to try. She even left a few for him.

At that time, he wondered about the status of the Xie family in the court and what their family background was like. Although he did not know everything clearly, he knew a lot about it. They were actually capable of getting fresh food for next year's tribute.

But he didn't think too much about it. He never doubted Xie Yiwan's affection for him, and it wasn't the first time that she gave him rare things.

At that time, he praised her for her thoughtfulness and was filled with gratitude. Did he actually get it from Lin Zhiyu?
Thanks for lying to him.

A faint and unclear feeling lingered in Pei Shi's heart.

However, it is understandable for a girl of this age to be vain. Pei Shizhi quickly ignored this strangeness and only thought that if Xie Yiwan liked it, he would find more for her.

Don't take someone else's fault.

The things that needed to be done were done, and Pei Shizhi kept his gratitude in his heart. As soon as Lin Zhiyu finished lunch, he couldn't wait to separate from Lin Zhiyu on the pretext that he had official business.

Lin Zhiyu was not in a hurry to leave. She went to the boss of Huixianlou and asked Xie Yiwan if he had eaten before leaving.

The result is that there is none.

Lin Zhiyu took the food. Perhaps Xie Yiwan didn't plan to eat at all, so he only filled two food boxes.

Lin Zhiyu felt guilty, and with a wave of her hand, she added eighteen more dishes, full of sincerity.

The wait for the food was a little long. Lin Zhiyu walked around Huixian Tower, watching the diners coming and going, and thinking about the business of his own restaurant on the same street.

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Runshu being absent-minded. She stopped, but Runshu was still walking forward.

"What's wrong with you, Runshu?"

Run Shu suddenly came back to his senses and turned back, "Miss! Servant, Servant..."

Lin Zhiyu frowned and stared at Runshu, "Runshu, are you tired?"

Runshu shook his head quickly and cheered up, "I'm not tired, I just thought the eaves bell on the opposite floor was a bit novel. I took a second look at it. I'm tired of it. Please forgive me!"

Lin Zhiyu also went to take a look, "Eaves bells? What's so good about eaves bells? They all look the same. If you like, I will pick them for you. Go back and take a closer look. Tell me, how many do you want?"

"Miss! You have broken my slave."

Lin Zhiyu chuckled, "Look at how funny you are, do you feel more energetic now?"

Runshu nodded.

Lin Zhiyu looked at the sky, "It's the end of noon, it's time to take a nap. It's normal for you to take a nap."

"In that case, you can go back first."

Runshu immediately became vigilant, "Miss, you're not going back? Where are you going?"
