Chapter 13 (2/2)

“That was lunch. What time is it now? It must have been digested long ago. What do you want to eat? I’ll go grab it for you. How about cake?”

“This servant does not like sweet food.”

“How about I’ll tell the imperial kitchen to fry you some noodles?”

“….this servant is not hungry.”　　.

After being rejected again and again, Lin Shan was angry: “I’m really bored! Would it kill you to say you’re hungry to accommodate me?” She fished out a walnut from her pocket and smacked it onto the bedside: “I’m going to peel the walnut for you to eat! This is an order! You are not allowed to reject!”

Lian Feng: “……”

Speaking of Lian Feng, he is quite a sad soul. As the golden sabre guard, plus his mysterious mask, his image is as serious as a monk. After living like this for many years, even he has accepted it as his character. When dealing with others, he has always been cold and elegant.

But since the silly Prince Consort has barged into his life, everything seemed to have changed. Ever since the incident from Leaning Vermilion House, he has a strange feeling towards him. It was so odd that he couldn’t even describe it to himself. It wasn’t closeness, and it wasn’t disgust. But basically, he would be annoyed if he comes often. Yet, if he doesn’t come, he would think of him.

This odd state of mind has really affected his past firm att.i.tude. He actually allowed the Prince Consort to peel a walnut by his bedside.

As for Lin Shan, she is also a sad soul. Before she has transported from the past, she had seen many television shows in regards to palace battles. But it seems like she hasn’t learned anything from them. Instead, she seems to be always linked to danger. She only seem to get away with luck.

The time at the palace was definitely not as exciting as what was played on television. In fact, Lin Shan finds it super boring. She has no computer and no cell phone. And she doesn’t dare to look at attractive men. What if she actually invest emotions and he turned out to be a eunuch!? Thinking about this, at least Lian Feng has the golden sabre. The golder sabre can help her through mental distress.

Currently, the bored Lin Shan finally found something to do -peeling a walnut. How could she not be excited? She was very focused as she was peeling; it was comparable to her government official exam. Lian Feng sat on the bed, not knowing what to say. It seemed rude of him to read while she was peeling, so he decided to watch her. After staring at Lin Shan for a bit, his heart started to stir.

His serious face actually looked quite good. If someone were to make faces around him, he wouldn’t have noticed. His skin was very white, and his eyelashes were so long. His face was small, and his nose was smooth and round. His face also had some meat..even without cosmetics, he looked better than most palace maids….

“I am done!” Lin Shan’s voice brought him back to reality. When he snapped out of his zone, he realized that their faces were very close together. There was a feminine odour coming out from his body, and Lian Feng couldn’t help but blush.

He felt helpless. He didn’t know why. He was clearly with a man. How could he compare her to a woman? It’s probably because the Kingdom Minister’s son was brought up with many women. Thus, he was raised very delicately.

Lian Feng was trying to comfort himself and forced himself to revert back to his original form. It was then he realized that Lin Shan had already eaten half of the walnut.

“Eat! Why are you not eating?” Lin Shan asked as she ate super lightheartedly. She had walnut bits on the corner of her mouth. At that moment, Lian Feng had the urge to reach out and wipe it from her mouth.

Lian Feng was troubled by this strange thought, when suddenly, a loud cried could be heard from outside: “The Crown Prince has returned! The Crown Prince has returned!!”

Lin Shan immediately got up from her seat: “Ohhhh!!! I want to go see! This is for you!” Right after, she ran like a rabbit and disappeared without a trace. All that was left behind was half of the peeled walnut. She had placed it in Lian Feng’s hand, and it was still warm.
