Chapter 166: Secretly Catching Feelings

Han Moxi looked over at Qing’er who just woke up, and gently smiled. “Qing’er, you might have to stay in my mansion for a while.”

“No! I want to go back to take care of my Young Miss. Where is she?” Asked Qing’er with furrowed brows.

Han Moxi smiled softly. “My royal brother will treat your Young Miss just fine. You don’t need to worry.”

“How can I possibly not worry?” Retaliated Qing’er.

Han Moxi sighed helplessly and said, “My royal brother ordered me to watch over you. Otherwise, he’ll give me a hard time. So, Qing’er, you’d better get comfortable staying here. I’ll ask someone to dig out some intel about your Young Miss and let you know.”

Qing’er felt the pain in her right leg and slightly creased her brows. Being like this, she would only cause the Young Miss more trouble. It might be better to not hastily show up.

Han Moxi smiled warmly and said, “Later, I’ll take you to the capital’s most famous restaurant for dinner.”

Qing’er smiled in response. “Alright!”

In the late afternoon, Han Moxi took Qing’er to the capital’s most famous restaurant for dinner and reserved a room.

After the two of them sat down, Han Moxi softly asked, “Qing’er, what do you want to eat?”

Qing’er’s eyes fluttered and she smiled gently. “Milord, you can make the decision. I’m not a picky eater.”

Han Moxi smiled softly and flatly said, “Alright, then I’ll decide.”

He turned to the servant boy and ordered, “One portion of aromatic red plum pearls, stir-fried shredded squid, autumn chrysanthemum, sweet and sour chrysanthemum pork, minced pork pancakes.”

“Sir, would you like rice or steamed buns with that?” The servant boy asked in a low voice and a smile on his face.

“And two bowls of rice,” Han Moxi said flatly.

“Alrighty then! Please wait sir, the dishes will be served shortly.” The servant boy said with a smile, as he left with his cleaning rag in hand.”

Qing’er and Han Moxi’s eyes met, and the room was instantly filled with a flirtatious air.

With slightly flushed cheeks, Qing’er put her head down.

Shy!

The prince looks so warm and friendly.

Han Moxi smiled, then spoke with a soft and sleepy voice. “Qing’er, have you come here before?”

Qing’er slightly shook her head and replied, “No. In the capital, I’ve only ever been to the Drunken Cloud Pavilion and the Full Wind Inn.”

Han Moxi smiled and introduced the place. “Qing’er, this restaurant is the best in the capital. I guarantee you’ll get the finest food here.”

“Thank you milord for taking care of me these past few days,” thanked Qing’er.

“Qing’er, you should know how I feel about you, so don’t thank me. In fact, I should thank you for staying with a lonely person like me,” Han Moxi said with smiling eyes.

Qing’er knew that Han Moxi had always been solitary since he was young and rarely had someone to play with. That was why Han Moxi really treasured his family and friendships.

She smiled kindly at what Han Moxi just said, then replied, “I’ve always treated milord as a really good friend, so come find me whenever you’re lonely. I’ll definitely do my best to help relieve your boredom.”

Han Moxi smiled.

“Sir, your food has arrived.” The servant boy carried the food into the private dining room.

Qing’er looked over at the delicious, well presented, aromatic food which tempted her appetite.

Han Moxi looked Qing’er and smiled again when he saw the array of dishes filling her eyes.

“Sir, please enjoy.” The servant boy finished placing the food on the table, then stepped out.

Qing’er couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. She took a bite of the aromatic red plums pearls and sighed. “Milord, what’s this dish called? It’s so good!”

Han Moxi raised his chopsticks and took a bite and smiled flatly. “I know how to cook this dish. First, cook the dove eggs and remove the shell and yolk. Then, fill it with a mix of seasoned and minced dried shrimps, dried scallops, and mushrooms. Mix it with aromatic green leaves or green peas, then steam them and simmer the result with chicken soup. The juices are placed on the outer ring of the plate. Deshell the shrimps, make two cuts in the back of the shrimp, then fry it in half-cooked lard until it’s cooked. Mould them into pearl shapes, then add scoops of tomato paste, salt, wine, sugar, and clear soup broth, then thicken it with corn starch. After pouring sesame oil, pile it in the center of a flat dish.”

Qing’er’s eyes widened and had nothing but compliments for Han Moxi. “Milord, you’re amazing!”

She liked him even more!
