Chapter 4 — Luong De Gluttony

I have long gotten used to his mouth that is harder than a damn duck. "Yes, yes, your highness is wise and martial." "To repay your highness's kindness, I have decided to change tonight's late night snack to transparent shrimp dumplings." Luc Ky's hand holding the cup of tea suddenly stopped, the water almost spilled out. He raised his head and glared at me, with a flash of panic in his eyes. "Thinh Ha! You dare!" I laughed until I could see my eyes. "Is there anything that the goddess doesn't dare?" "If that big mouse likes to eat sweets, it certainly won't touch salty things." "If it even eats salty things, it proves that the mouse's taste is getting better and better. This is a good thing." Luc Ky took a deep breath, placed the teacup firmly on the table, gritted his teeth. "Go away. Get out!” I immediately got out. At midnight, I hid behind the screen, and sure enough, I heard a very small noise. This time, Luc Ky did not hesitate like usual. He walked to the table, looked at the plate of transparent shrimp dumplings, hesitantly picked one up and took a small bite. I watched him slowly finish the shrimp dumpling, an indescribable feeling of accomplishment arose in my heart. The next day, I still ate and drank deliciously in front of him as usual. Rarely did Luc Ky not close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, but looked at the plate of sweet and sour fried ribs in front of me for a while. "Is that very sour?" I stopped my chopsticks and picked up a piece of ribs. "It has a sweet and sour taste, the meat is soft and melts as soon as it touches my lips. Your Highness, do you want to taste it?" I just asked casually out of habit. Unexpectedly, Luc Ky was silent for a moment, then actually nodded so slightly that it was almost imperceptible. I was so surprised that I almost dropped my chopsticks. I quickly picked up the smallest piece of rib and carefully brought it to his mouth. Luc Ky looked at that piece of meat, a look of struggle appeared in his eyes. He closed his eyes, as if he had made a huge determination, then opened his mouth. I stared at him nervously, afraid he would vomit blood again in the next second. But he did not vomit blood. Although his face still didn't look good, he actually swallowed it! I was so excited that I almost jumped up and immediately grabbed his hand. "Your Highness! You can eat! You're finally willing to eat during the day!" Luc Ky was startled by my sudden action and tried to withdraw his hand. But my strength was so great, my grip was so tight that he couldn't pull it out at all. There was rarely panic in his eyes and he didn't know what to do. "Let go! What's the point of screaming loudly?" Not only did I not let go, but I also moved closer to him, looking straight into his eyes. "Your Highness, you don't actually hate eating and drinking that much, right?" 9 Luc Ky's body suddenly stiffened, and confusion flashed in his eyes. He used his strength to escape my hand, turned his head to the side, his voice sad. "Nonsense." But since that day, the atmosphere between us has changed. He no longer objected to me eating and drinking in front of him. Sometimes he even proactively asks me the taste of a certain dish. And the "East Palace big rat" that often appears at night also gradually eats more. From the original half piece of breakfast, it gradually turned into a whole piece. A month later, Luc Ky was able to eat nearly half a bowl of rice and a few pieces of frugal vegetables. When the Royal Medical Examiner came to check his pulse, he was so agitated that he repeatedly bowed his head. He always said that God had eyes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life was finally saved. The old Emperor became even more handsome, and directly appointed me as Crown Prince Luong. The day I received the decree, I was munching on a grilled duck leg. After the eunuch issued the decree and left, I looked at the decree in my hand and sighed. Done. This time, I was completely tied up in the Eastern Palace, and even if I wanted to go out and perform in the streets to make a living, I couldn't anymore. Luc Ky sat

After reading the chapter, he heard my sigh and coldly glanced at me. "What's wrong? Feeling resentful?" "I haven't criticized your unsightly eating appearance yet, you're already unhappy?" I put down the duck leg. "Resentment is not to the point of resentment." "It's just that the goddess is a rude person and doesn't understand the rules of the palace." "What if one day she eats too much and her legs are so heavy that she can't even walk over the steps of the East Palace gate? Wouldn't that cause trouble?" Did you lose face?" Luc Ky put down his lipstick and looked at me for a long moment. "As long as you don't nibble on the pig's feet in my study, you can eat whatever you want." My eyes immediately lit up. "Your Highness, is it true?" "Quan Vo said." I happily picked up the duck leg and took a big bite. The days passed peacefully and steadily like that. Luc Ky's health improved day by day, and the atmosphere in the Eastern Palace gradually became more comfortable. But underneath the peaceful exterior, there are always waves rolling around. That day, the old Emperor held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the great victory at the northern border. I am Crown Prince Luong Di, of course I must also attend. At the banquet, I walked behind Luc Ky, looking dejectedly at the crowd of civil servants and military generals offering drinks and flattering each other. Tham Tu Te also came.
