Chapter 497: Temptation, principled person (Part 1)
If everything moves as Prince Fushou Zhang had planned, she won’t reach up to this point… …
Not to mention, Lin Chujiu knew what Prince Fushou Zhang was thinking. Even if she was not aware of it, she will not make trouble with Lin Wanting in a public place. This was not Xiao Wangfu.
Seeing Prince Fushou Zhang dragging her to this matter, Lin Chujiu didn’t immediately answer. Instead, she looked at Lin Wanting, who was slightly dissatisfied and said: “If you have a serious illness, you should go less in public. The Eldest Princess is so generous and didn’t punish you. If it’s someone else, you will immediately be punished. You should hurry and thank the Eldest Princess.”
Because her scolding tone was full of momentum, it made Lin Wanting felt indignant. However, considering her situation, Lin Wanting could only grit her teeth and thanked Prince Fushou Zhang as mentioned by Lin Chujiu.
Prince Fushou Zhang didn’t expect that the topic will be kicked back to her again, she smiled but she didn’t linger with the topic again. She only let Lin Wanting remained standing. She was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Wanting and Mrs. Lin.
She can’t even do such a trivial matter, but expecting to marry the Crown Prince as the main wife? Lin Wanting was simply dreaming.
The conversation before the dinner came to an end when the maidservants came in and served the hot dishes on the table one by one. One of the striking dishes was the braised bear paw placed in front of Lin Chujiu.
The huge bear paw occupies the entire plate. Its thick wine soup sprinkled with green coriander has overbearing fragrance. However, when this fragrance entered their noses, it instantly attracts everyone’s attention.
Prince Fushou Zhang played her role as the host and introduced the dishes: “This bear was especially hunted yesterday. You should try it Chujiu. This dish is specially prepared for you.”
After all, it was an apology banquet. If you can’t apologize directly, you should show apologizing means. Even if Prince Fushou Zhang doesn’t like it, she has to do a good job.
Lin Chujiu took a glance at her and removed her gaze: “The Eldest Princess has taken great pains.”
“I just give an order to my servants, what trouble is there. Come on, everyone, try it.” When Prince Fushou Zhang said those words, the maidservant stepped forward and divided the big bear paw into several pieces. Each person has a bowl. The largest one was given to Lin Chujiu.
For such a thing like a bear paw, Lin Chujiu admitted that she was curious. She has never eaten a bear paw even after reaching this age.
After putting a small piece to her mouth, Lin Chujiu nodded in satisfaction: It was indeed a dish that will be praised by gluttonous people, it was very delicious.
The soft meat seems to be getting thickened in the mouth, while the unique fragrance makes the tip of the nose itchy. They can’t help but close their eyes and savor the delicious food at this moment.
Lin Chujiu was immersed in the temptation of food, but was interrupted by Prince Fushou Zhang‘s disgusting voice: “How’s the taste?”
“Very good.” Lin Chujiu praised sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Princess Fushou was overjoyed: “Chujiu, it’s good that you like it. The bear that they caught yesterday is still alive. The remaining paw hasn’t been chopped off yet. If you like it, I will send it to Xiao Wangfu. You can keep it and enjoy eating it.”
“Chopping off the living bear?” Lin Chujiu suddenly felt that the bear paw she was chewing was like poison, and no longer find it delicious.
She has no hypocritical compassion. She can eat pork, chicken, and bear meat, but… …
Slaughtering animals bit by bit, she can’t have the heart to accept it.
“Of course, it is alive. It won’t be fresh if it’s dead.” When Prince Fushou Zhang said those words, Lin Chujiu just nodded her head but didn’t say another word.
But her silence didn’t give off to the tranquility she deserved. Prince Fushou Zhang put down her chopsticks and unhappily said: “Why? Chujiu, do you think I’m cruel?”
