Chapter 90  : Gigolo?

“Herbal dish?” Zhao Yang asked dazedly.

“Yes, herbal dish.” Feng Ruqing diverted her eyes to everyone who was present and continued, “Everyone knows that I have a kitchen in my Serene Palace. I love eating and have a lot of free time. So I usually cook the herbs and food together. They always end up as herbal dishes.”

Spirit herbal cuisine and regular herbal cuisine contained similar ingredients.

In fact, spirit herbs originated from ordinary herbs which later turned into spirit herbs after absorbing more spiritual qi.

Thus, Feng Ruqing only needed to slightly modify her spirit herbal dish, so regular people could cook it too. However, its effect was just one-tenth of a spirit herbal dish.

Feng Rushuang dug her nails into her palms hard. Herbal cuisine? Feng Ruqing did not even understand anything about pharmacology. How could she know about herbal cuisine?

“Sister...” Feng Rushuang approached Feng Ruqing with a faint smile. Her eyes were filled with innocence and confusion. “Since when... did you know pharmacology theories? Based on my understanding, herbs and food ingredients cannot be cooked together. What if the effects of the ingredients clashes with each other, wouldn’t it result in death?”

Feng Ruqing maintained her smile. “Since you care about people’s life, next time when I cook a herbal dish, why don’t you try it first?”

Feng Rushuang’s face stiffened. Test the herbal dish? Who knew what she would put in the herbal dish? Wouldn’t it be putting her own life in danger?

Besides, even if she was poisoned for real, His Majesty would never blame Feng Ruqing at all.

“Sister, you like to joke with me. How would I ever doubt your ability? By the way, I saw Liu Yuchen and Tan Shuangshuang some time ago. I never knew that they love each other so much. However, Liu Yuchen said you are still bothering him, so I implore you to stop being stubborn.”

Feng Rushuang’s expressions seemed very genuine and that made nobody doubt her words.

These past few days, although Feng Rushuang was locked up at the Forbidden Mountain and completely unaware of what was happening outside of the palace, she was confident that Feng Ruqing would not give up on Liu Yuchen that easily.

Thus, the words she claimed were said by Liu Yuchen were true, but simply her prediction.

However, she did not notice that the young people looked astonished after she had finished talking.

As far as the people of the imperial city concerned, Feng Ruqing was considered as a well-known person. Everybody knew about her. The incident that had happened between Liu Yuchen and her at Southern Street had spread among the people like wildfire.

Liu Yuchen was the one who had stopped Feng Ruqing, but she did not even as much as glance at him. Moreover, Feng Ruqing rarely left the princess’s manor recently. How could the rumor of her bothering Liu Yuchen even start?

Once Feng Ruqing listened to Feng Rushuang’s words, she laughed silently. She responded, “I did not know that I am constantly bugging Liu Yuchen. I thought Liu Yuchen still misses me. That was why he had blocked me on the street and prevented me from leaving.”

Feng Rushuang was dumbfounded. Liu Yuchen had stopped Feng Ruqing on the street? Was this... possible?

Liu Yuchen had always avoided her. He could not have behaved like this on the street.

“Sister, I am giving you some advice because I don’t want to see you doing something stupid,” Feng Rushuang lowered her head looking dejected. Her eyes were red. “You never listened to me previously and insisted on getting married to Liu Yuchen. That was why you got into trouble.”

Everyone looked at Feng Rushuang in astonishment.

“Second Princess.” Mu Qing’er tugged at Feng Rushuang’s sleeve as her face reddened. “It is true that not long ago, Liu Yuchen had blocked the Princess Royal on the street.

Of course, it did not mean that Liu Yuchen had fallen in love with this spoilt princess, but everyone knew that Feng Ruqing did not even look at Liu Yuchen that day.

“Moreover...” Mu Qing’er hesitated before continuing, “The Princess Royal brought back a gigolo from somewhere. Everyone knows about this too.”
