Gong Sangmo had already ordered someone to pick grapes. After a while, the crystal clear, plump grapes were washed and served.
Gong Sangmo stood up and washed his hands, then sat at the table and began to peel the grapes.
Wen Lingshan, who had never sat so upright as sitting next to him, stared at Gong Sangmo peeling the grapes in a daze. She then thought to herself: Xian Wang is so filial that he even peels the grapes for the old prince himself! This handsome man is so pleasing to the eye, everything he does looks good!
Soon a plate of grape skins was peeled, Gong Sangmo then stood up and wet a handkerchief, naturally walked to Yun Qianyu, took her left hand and gently wiped it for her.
Yun Qianyu was thinking about the chess game, with her head down and frowning. By the time she noticed it, Gong Sangmo had already finished wiping her hand! Yun Qianyu looked at her left hand, then her eyes flashed, and her ears unconsciously flushed.
Gong Sangmo placed the plate of grapes in front of Yun Qianyu and said softly, “Eat!”
Old Master Gong looked down at the chessboard, secretly amused. This cunning, slippery boy was so quick, his hand was already on it. Almost there, almost there! As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up. He had been thinking about whether he should do something, but it seemed that he didn’t need to. This girl couldn’t escape the grasp of his cunning, fox-like grandson.
Yun Qianyu couldn’t resist the temptation of the grapes and pinched one to eat. Seeing Old Master Gong’s smile, she was stunned. Why was he still smiling when he saw the old man was about to lose? Could there be some change in the chessboard that she hadn’t noticed? Then her eyes fell back to the chessboard.
Gong Sangmo coughed again, and Old Master Gong’s smile immediately disappeared, and he seriously studied the chessboard that he was about to lose.
Wen Lingshan rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Xian Wang had peeled the grapes for Her Royal Highness! She had even seen Xian Wang wipe the princess’s hands.
Wen Lingshan felt like her day had been surreal. Was she dreaming? She secretly pinched her thigh, almost crying out in pain. She then covered her mouth and looked at Yun Qianyu, who seemed just content to eat. Thinking back to how Xian Wang peeled the grapes and wiped her hands with such skill, it seemed like this wasn’t the first time he’d done it.
She felt she’d figured it out: Xian Wang likes the Princess Protector of the Nation! This was an indisputable fact! Although she was straightforward, she wasn’t stupid. She saw this clearly: her father, who was always serious, was also actually very attentive to her mother in private.
Yun Shan then came in, carrying a plate of exquisite desserts.
Wen Lingshan had learned her lesson this time. Could this also be for the Princess?
She was honored to guess correctly. Yun Shan walked right up to Yun Qianyu and replaced the plate of grapes she’d just finished with his own.
A maid followed behind Yun Shan and placed a plate of desserts on Wen Lingshan’s table. She then bowed and withdrew.
Wen Lingshan muttered to herself, thankful they hadn’t forgotten about her.
“Miss, this is a new snack the kitchen made today. Try it. Do you like it?”
Yun Qianyu nodded, picking up a piece with the same hand she’d been using to eat grapes. It was crispy and sweet, perfectly suited to her taste. It was just that her hand was a little sticky from eating the grapes.
Gong Sangmo picked up a wet towel and wiped her hands again. Yun Qianyu chewed the snack, her eyes fixed on Gong Sangmo’s slender, jade-like hand as he carefully wiped her delicate little hand.
“Even if you like it, eat less. You won’t be able to have lunch soon. Uncle Yun must have prepared a lot of your favorite dishes,” Gong Sangmo instructed, wiping her hands clean.
Yun Qianyu’s heart pounded as she nodded, hiding the look in her eyes.
Old Master Gong had already dropped the chess piece in his hand. “I lost! Your chess skills are truly amazing!”
Wen Lingshan was paralyzed, speechless as she watched the entire family surrounding her.
A maid came in and whispered to Yun Shan, “Butler Yun, lunch is ready!”
Yun Shan immediately ordered lunch to be served in the flower hall.
Yun Shan walked up to Old Prince Gong and said, “Old Prince, we can eat now!”
Old Prince Gong nodded in agreement. He couldn’t bear to let his grandson’s wife go hungry!
A group of maids came in and placed plates of delicious dishes on the table.
Old Prince Gong sat at the top, Gong Sangmo sat on his left, Yun Qianyu pulled the uneasy Wen Lingshan to the table, while she hersefl sat on Old Prince Gong’s right, and Wen Lingshan felt flattered to sit next to Yun Qianyu. During this meal, Wen Lingshan fully experienced what it meant to be spoiled!
Yun Qianyu was already used to being spoiled by the people in Yun Valley. But if it were any other girl, she would have been moved long ago!
Gong Sangmo picked out the fish bones and Yun Shan placed the fish in front of her. Gong Sangmo peeled the prawns and placed them in Yun Qianyu’s bowl. As long as Yun Qianyu moved the dish on the plate, it would be immediately moved in front of her.
Wen Lingshan always felt that she was very favored at home, and she often showed off to a few close girlfriends. However, compared with the treatment Yun Qianyu received, her treatment was simply not worth mentioning. She was deeply shocked!
But before the meal was finished, Sanqiu came in, glanced at Wen Lingshan, lowered his head and whispered a few words in Gong Sangmo’s ear.
Gong Sangmo raised his eyebrows, nodded, and Sanqiu went out. Gong Sangmo did not say anything, and the old prince Gong acted as if he had not seen Sanqiu come in.
After finishing the meal, Yun Qianyu was ready to return to the palace. But Gong Sangmo glanced at her and said, “Sit for a while!”
He didn’t say anything more, so as not to leave before entering the palace. Although he didn’t say it, he knew that Yun Qianyu understood what he meant.
A wave of emotion flashed in Yun Qianyu’s eyes, followed by a sharp light!
Yun Shan replaced the tea for the others with freshly brewed tea. Yun Qianyu took a sip of the tea and said to Wen Lingshan, “Shen Shaokang…”
When Wen Lingshan heard Yun Qianyu mention Shen Shaokang, she embarrassedly interrupted Yun Qianyu because Gong Sangmo was there, saying, “I understand now. I won’t be stupid again.”
Yun Qianyu said, “Fortunately, you’re not completely stupid yet.”
Wen Lingshan rolled her eyes. Was she stupid?
A cup of tea was finished when Feng Ran hurried over.
“Master, the envoys of Jiuxiao Kingdom encountered assassins thirty miles outside the capital, and the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom was kidnapped. The emperor has sent the prefect of the capital, Shen Qiuming, and Xi Wang of the Duke of Rongguo’s Mansion to receive the injured envoys and do their best to find the Seventh Prince.”
Yun Qianyu’s eyelashes trembled. She glanced at Gong Sangmo and asked, “Yujian has left the palace!”
Feng Ran said, “He has left the palace and is on her way to Xian Wang’s Mansion. He should be here soon. The emperor has verbally instructed the master and the crown prince to comfort the injured envoys and assist Xi Wang in rescuing the Seventh Prince.”
“I know.”
Yun Qianyu stood up. They actually kidnapped people thirty miles outside the capital. This was a blatant slap in the face of the Nanlou Kingdom!
