PART 10 The response of the esteemed guest.

Lin Wuniao, you are destined to be a vegetable cutter

There is a bag of radishes by the wall, a total of two hundred, and you can shred the radishes.

Unfortunately, this is not a modern fast food restaurant, and the Fourth Prince is not an ordinary customer

The eyelashes of the esteemed guest fluttered a few times before slowly opening, revealing a pair of eyes that were complex and difficult to decipher. He was still unaware that this foolish and troublemaking Lin Wuniao actually knew what he was thinking.

Then, the fully seated adult spoke coldly, raising an eyebrow

Miao Manxi's brows furrowed into a knot: "How could you have gotten involved with him?"

These shredded potatoes are truly astonishing, capable of evoking both wonder and fear, and can be aptly described as potato chunks

Lin Wuniao straightened his chest, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly snatched the bowl of noodles from the little eunuch's hands. Grabbing the noodles with his hands, he forcefully swallowed them down, along with the strands of hair mixed in with the noodles.

As she cried, she nonchalantly wiped her snot and tears on his back. Miao Manxi's back remained stiff and upright, surprisingly not breaking free from her grasp. The neck exposed at the collar was a pale red, extending to the earlobes, so red it seemed as if it could bleed.

Lin Wuniao gazed at the bundle of white radishes and resignedly replied, "I love potatoes, I love cutting potato shreds"

"Let go!" After a long while, the host finally regained his usual calm and serious tone, "Lin Wuniao, if you continue to act recklessly like this, I will have Chef Lin take you back."

What does he think he is going to say? Lin Wuniao's face darkened; could it be that he is encouraging her to confess her feelings? As soon as she had this thought, she was immediately frightened and shivered.

I know you are unwilling to go, there must be some hidden agendas involved, and I do not want you to wade through this murky water. The palace adheres to the principle of self-preservation, and you, my lord, are a wise person, always keeping yourself at a distance, like a carefree cloud or a wild crane. I believe that if it were not for your family's earnest hopes, you would have long since left the palace to live your own life. The glory here is not something you value, is it?" She said cautiously, gripping her own fingers.

"Dear Sir, you have rejected me, what am I to do?" She tightened her arms, clinging to his waist like a koala, displaying an unwavering determination to achieve her goal.

"Adult..." Lin Wuniao, on the verge of tears, clutched his hair in frustration, "Can we please stop cutting the potato strips!"

How should this matter be handled in modern times? It is certainly manageable; typically, a restaurant manager would politely suggest: Shall we replace the meal?

Fourth Prince, where is there any hair? These two strands are extremely rare root vegetables, nourishing yin and supplementing yang. I originally intended to stew them into a soup, both nutritious and delicious, but who would have known it would lead to a misunderstanding

The Fourth Prince waved his fan, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up; his mood always improved after seeing this little chef.

Lin Wuniao, filled with rage, flung away the kitchen knife

The young eunuch behind immediately approached Lin Wuniao, holding a bowl of noodles: "Chef Lin, look, there are actually two strands of hair in the noodles you made!"

"Full house, my lord!" She was both anxious and angry, recalling the threat from the Fourth Prince, and decided to simply let it all go.

In fact, those two strands of long hair could absolutely not have fallen from Lin Wuniao.

The incident occurred suddenly; not only were the stunned little prince and the crowd at a loss for words, but even the Fourth Prince, who had been smiling all along, was taken aback

She chuckled, patting her belly: "You see, if there were any problems, I would have been rolling on the ground by now"

I no longer resemble myself at all, so eager, so excited, is it just to hear these trivial words from her lips?

She turned to look at Miao Fangfei, who was twisting her hands, appearing conflicted, her long, black satin-like hair already wrapped around her.

If the matter were simple, he would not have declined so many times

Before long, the entire imperial kitchen was left with only Master Man and Lin Wuniao.

Miao Manxi's fists clenched repeatedly beneath the sleeve cage, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the chefs, one by one, exiting with their heads bowed, their faces turning even redder.

Therefore, I declined the Fourth Prince early in the morning She sincerely spread her hands

Lin Xiaochu, this prince has taken a sip of the noodle soup, and now there is a faint pain in my abdomen! I wonder if it is due to that one strand of hair!" He waved his fan, still wearing a smile that was neither here nor there, "What do you think I should do with this bowl of noodles?"

Lin Wuniao said: "If I were not the little chef of Lord Miao Manxi, he would not have made things difficult for me." The implication is that he has brought trouble upon himself

He smiled sarcastically in his heart; what exactly is he hoping for

"Speak freely, without any reservations." The dignitaries at the banquet even turned their backs, saying, "If you cannot say it to my face, then say it to my back; perhaps that will give you more courage"

Is this it? he asked repeatedly

Hmm? This time, the esteemed guest responded in a low and gentle tone

"Start over!" He was angry. Upon seeing Lin Wuniao's pale face, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart, igniting a trace of pity. He unconsciously softened his voice, "If you can't even do the basics, how can I protect you?"

Furthermore, Miao Manxi pointed with a long finger and flicked the potato strips on the table, causing them to fall to the ground, stating, "These are unacceptable, redo them!"

She did not know that by speaking up, she would push such a clear and pure person into such a predicament

She continued to revel in delight: "It's the first time someone has praised me as a light beauty!"

Not to mention Miss Fangfei, the child bride of Lord Manxi, even with his cold and aloof demeanor, she absolutely cannot bring herself to like him

The only one with a spirit of resistance, Miao Fangfei, has been holed up in the study next door since the Fourth Prince came to demand an explanation at four in the afternoon, refusing to come out even at the cost of her life

Thank you, thank you! Lin Wuniao was completely astonished. Look at this adjective, it is so rich in cultural essence. Fourth Prince, you are simply the ancient version of Guo Xiaosi. Such bright yet sorrowful adjectives, and you actually dared to utter them!

Miao Manxi cast a cold glance at her and replied淡淡地: "Sure."

The expression of guilt immediately appeared on Lord Manxi's face, accompanied by a hint of heartache.

The Fourth Prince rested the handle of his fan against his chin and smiled slightly: "Lin Wuniao, I have encountered quite a few rascals, but they are usually men. It is the first time I have seen a light beauty like you, who possesses the demeanor of a rogue."

Miao Manxi's back immediately became very stiff, and he slowly turned his head little by little, looking at Lin Wuniao with an incredulous gaze, and asked softly: "Is this what you have been wanting to tell me all along?"

Adult, adult, you cannot be so cold and heartless... you are heartless, you are heartless!

She looked up and saw the adults at the table, their eyes as dark as crystal, clear and illuminating. She couldn't help but be momentarily stunned, and the words in her mouth naturally came to a halt

"Can you possibly ... ... " She struggled to find the words. Regarding this hunting trip and the invitation to the Miao banquet, although she did not understand the significance of it, she was certain that it was undoubtedly a matter that would put the Miao dignitaries in a difficult position

His eyes were dark, bright, and sharp; in the dim light, one could see the fury within them

The expression on the face of the esteemed guest gradually shifted from a faint smile to a cold indifference, ultimately settling into a frigid demeanor

What can someone as straightforward as her possibly extract? It is nothing more than a mix of saliva and a few tears

Lin Wuniao hesitantly said: "Esteemed guests, what would you like to hear?"

The esteemed gentleman cast a cold glance at her, pressed his lips tightly together, and replied stiffly, "I will not go."

"Lin Wuniao, what nonsense are you thinking about again?" Master Manxi extended his long fingers and then picked up a piece of shredded potato, nearly causing him to lose his breath in anger

Then, there is only one possibility

Lin Wuniao, this prince admires your shamelessness! Such a fearless spirit of shamelessness earns my great respect!

His eyes were clear and pure, astonishingly bright, like black crystals soaked in a mountain spring. Lin Wuniao's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Ah? Lin Wuniao was pleasantly surprised

Ah? Why?! Why did such a warm scene take a sudden turn and transform into a version of Cinderella?!

What do you want to say to me? The voice of the esteemed gentleman became even softer, carrying a hint of encouragement, and his usually cold face softened as well

In fact, he does not understand why his own master would deign to come here. If the little chef made a mistake, it is only natural to summon him for accountability; there is no reason for a prince to come on his own.

"Lin Wuniao, do you know your crime?" The young eunuch stood behind the Fourth Prince, feigning authority.

Miao Manxi was choked by her words, feeling a deep pain in his chest. He squinted his eyes, waved his robe, turned around, and coldly laughed, "What would I want to hear?"

Indeed, in the span of a tea break, that little eunuch arrived at the imperial kitchen, holding a bowl of hand-pulled noodles, accompanied by the smiling Fourth Prince, to demand an explanation.

Lin Wuniao looked at the pale-faced Miao Fangfei, sighed, and continued to ask: "Fourth Prince, is it that the taste of the hand-pulled noodles is not good?"

He has ten thousand reasons to believe that in order to evade responsibility, Lin Wuniao would fearlessly drink this bowl of noodle soup in a moment of crisis, so he had previously placed croton powder in the bowl of noodles

On a clear day, a sudden shock struck, causing Lin Wuniao to stagger in disarray. Remembering the perverse nature of the Fourth Prince, Lin Wuniao could no longer maintain his composure. With a bear-like hug, he tightly embraced the departing Master Manxi, lamenting loudly: "My lord, you cannot refuse..."

This time I will let it go, however, if you are unable to complete the task I have assigned to you, next time, I will make you drink arsenic. " He tapped the edge of the bowl, smiled gently, "This time it is a small punishment for a great warning, I only added a bit of croton powder.

He even took the initiative to grasp Lin Wuniao's hand, slightly bending down and lowering his head to assure Lin Wuniao: "Wuniao, I will go. Do not be afraid. With me in front of you, no one will trouble you."

Lin Wuniao asked awkwardly, "So, are you going?"

Thus, there is only one solution.

He pointed with his finger, looking very indignant

When Lord Miao returned in the evening, Lin Wuniao was already exhausted, his hands and feet weak and powerless. Every time he lifted the chef's knife, it would tremble for a long while.

With a single sentence hitting the mark, Lin Wuniao was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, anxiously and very slowly making his way to stand before the esteemed adults: "My lord, if you do not go, the Fourth Prince will punish Wuniao."

She steeled herself and finally shouted out the words she had been holding back: "Esteemed guests, the Fourth Prince has asked me to invite you to his hunt!"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face bore the pallor that follows diarrhea

The castor bean powder is truly extraordinary! Lin Wuniao's expression changed immediately, and he turned around to squat by the stove, clearing his throat.

Forget it, having diarrhea is a way to lose weight! She squatted in front of the stove, tearfully comforting herself while holding her head.

Lin Wuniao chuckled and replied with great pride, "Thank you for the compliment, Fourth Prince"

"What is it, what is it, what is it?" Lin Wuniao decided to play the role of an ignorant young girl

Love life, love shredded potatoes

She waved her hand, dismissing that slight flutter of her heart: "My lord, you are truly wonderful, you are a good person!" She sincerely and emotionally grasped his hand, and after a long pause, she said, "My lord, a person like you is destined to have countless descendants, to endure through the ages, and to be immortal..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, yet she hesitated immensely

The Fourth Prince wore a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown, and made a gesture.

Lin Wuniao chuckled awkwardly, lowering his head to look into the bowl, where indeed two shiny black hairs floated in the chicken soup, mingled among the dumplings, not very conspicuous.

Lin Wuniao, if you do not cut a complete one hundred potatoes today, you will not be allowed to return to rest!" He calmly withdrew his hand from Lin Wuniao's grasp, pointed at the potatoes on the cutting board, and let out a cold laugh

Everyone's expression fell, and the Fourth Prince was both amused and exasperated. To speak in such a self-serving manner, bypassing derogatory terms and directly seeking out the qualities he preferred to hear, he had no choice but to concede defeat.

Then he forced me to take croton powder, and I spent the entire afternoon with diarrhea Lin Wuniao made a pitiful face and leaned closer to the adults at the table He said, next time give me arsenic

She chuckled awkwardly as she looked at the Fourth Prince, rubbing her hands together
