To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 224 Holding hands

   "That's it, I'll leave it to the prince." Sheng Sanlang is not a hypocritical person, and when he hears that someone is willing to work, he naturally wishes for it.

  He hurried back to guard, maybe he could get a beggar chicken.

  Seeing Sheng Saburo leaving quickly, Wei Han asked Luo Sheng seriously: "Which position on the deer do you want braised venison in a pot?"

  Luo Sheng twitched the corners of his lips.

   As a dignified prince, he is becoming more and more experienced in the selection of ingredients.

  Although she slandered, she still replied: "Choose venison meat."

   Wei Han pointed to the deer's belly: "Is it here?"

   "Yes, the venison here is fragrant after being cooked, and it is most suitable for this dish."

   "So that's how it is." Wei Han came to a sudden realization, thinking that the meat from such a small place is suitable for potted stewed venison, and one deer is indeed not enough.

   Fortunately, Sheng Saburo also hunted deer.

  Seeing Luo Sheng squatting down on a flat stone, Wei Han hurriedly said, "I'll clean it up."

  Luo Sheng pointed to the bamboo basket placed aside: "I wash June persimmons."

  It was only then that Wei Han realized that there were a few bright red and plump June persimmons in the bamboo basket.

  He couldn't help frowning.

  June persimmon is a sweet and sour fruit, but he doesn't eat it often.

  Luo Sheng saw his expression and said with a smile: "Is the prince not used to June persimmon?"

  June persimmon was introduced from Fanbang in the previous dynasty, and the method of eating it has not been popularized among the people so far. It is rare to use it in dishes.

   Wei Han felt that this question was difficult to answer.

  He pondered for a while, and decided to tell the truth: "If Miss Luo made it, I should like it."

  Luo Sheng: "..."

   To be honest, when it comes to diet, she feels that King Kaiyang is a little different from usual.

   "As long as the prince likes it." Luo Sheng decided not to talk to this foodie anymore, picked up a June persimmon and scooped up the stream water to wash it.

   Wei Han didn't look away.

  It was so long that Luo Sheng couldn't help but look over and asked, "What is the prince looking at?"

   is looking at the bracelet on your hand.

   Wei Han really wanted to say that.

   It should not be an illusion, the bracelet on Miss Luo's wrist today is not the same as before.

   And Luo Sheng obviously found where Wei Han's gaze fell, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

   Wei Han's heart trembled, and he praised solemnly: "Miss Luo's bracelet is very beautiful."

  Luo Sheng faintly felt that something was wrong.

   She has been wearing a gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet these days, but it is the first time that King Kaiyang has noticed.

   Don't think that showing a sincere praise will make her ignore this abnormality.

  Why did King Kaiyang pay special attention to her bracelet today?

  Today…is there any difference?

  Luo Sheng's face remained calm, but his heart sank.

  If it is different, it means that today she and Chao Hua exchanged bracelets without anyone noticing.

  But is it really invisible?

  Luo Sheng's eyes gradually darkened as he looked at the man who was carefully packing up the venison in front of him.

   Wei Han kept moving his hands, but his whole body tensed up involuntarily.

   This is probably due to the keen intuition formed by countless fights on the battlefield.

  For some reason, there is always an ominous premonition that Miss Luo will pick up a stone and knock her unconscious at any time, and throw it into the stream.

   After all, Miss Luo has done this once.

   Wei Han glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

   Fortunately, Miss Luo didn't have any stones at hand.

  It's not that he can't dodge, but he's worried that if Miss Luo gets angry after dodging, what if he's not allowed to come to eat from now on?

   It is best to maintain the current good and harmonious relationship.

  Luo Sheng was not going to pretend to be confused.

  If such an important matter is not confirmed, then she may feel uneasy.

  Luo Sheng put the washed June persimmon back into the bamboo basket, pursed his lips and asked, "Why does the lord think my bracelet is beautiful today?"

   Wei Han was taken aback by the question.

   In his opinion, this kind of golden bracelet has no distinction between beauty and ugliness. It is really difficult for Miss Luo to ask him this question.

  Seeing that the other party was silent, Luo Sheng's eyes were filled with coldness: "Is it because I didn't feel it before, or didn't notice it?"

  King Kaiyang must have noticed something, I don’t know if it’s too late to kill people now?

   Thinking about the gap in force between the two sides, Luo Sheng sighed in his heart.

   Relying on force is not the answer, and I can't bear to say it, so let's listen to what this person has to say.

   Wei Han suddenly felt that the danger had increased, and felt inexplicably depressed.

  He thought that he and Miss Luo were true friends, why would they plan to kill him if they disagreed?

  This realization made him a little sad.

   Wei Han looked at the tense girl, and finally figured out what the problem was.

  Miss Luo heard that he was lying.

   Sure enough, he is not good at coaxing people.

  Since this is the case, let’s tell the truth.

   "I think the bracelet Miss Luo is wearing today has a better pattern than the one she wore before."

   This sentence is naturally not really admiring the pattern of the bracelet, but pointing out the difference between the two bracelets.

  Luo Sheng's heart sank suddenly, and he looked at the man close at hand expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a scourge.

  He could actually tell the difference between the two bracelets!

  The bracelets are originally a pair, engraved with the most common twig patterns, and they are exactly the same everywhere, except that on the vine pattern near the sapphire, the tip of one of the leaves faces in the opposite direction.

   This is the only difference between this pair of gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelets. If it is not specifically pointed out, who will notice it?

   Could it be that this man is doing nothing else, just staring at her bracelet every time we meet?

   But obviously he stares at her face more often—

  Luo Sheng quickly realized that this idea could easily cause some misunderstandings, but after thinking about it, it was indeed true.

   "My lord thinks the bracelet I'm wearing today is different from before?"

  The man honestly pointed out: "Here."

What    pointed to was the vine pattern next to the sapphire, which dispelled Luo Sheng's last trace of luck.

  The man's slender fingers lightly tapped the bracelet on the girl's wrist. From the perspective of others, they would think that a pair of young men and women could not help being intimate.

  But the owner of the bracelet has never felt that the man in front of him is so scary.

  That arrow is like this, so is this bracelet.

  How on earth did this man know?

  She thought she was careful enough, so why was she always hiding nothing from him?

   Is it because this man has insight far beyond ordinary people, or does he just stare at her when he has nothing to do?

  No matter which one, she had the urge to kick this person to the sky.

   I was careless, I should avoid this man like a snake and a scorpion from the beginning, and I shouldn't covet the little convenience brought by his identity.

   Sure enough, being greedy for petty gains and suffering big losses.

  The more Luo Sheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, his cold fingertips trembled slightly.

   Wei Han could see the guard in her eyes clearly, and panicked all of a sudden.

  Miss Luo seems to want to cut off her robe with him, and she will never care about his food again.

   Panicked, the big hand that was lightly touching the bracelet flipped over and took the girl's cold hand into it.

   "Miss Luo, don't worry, it doesn't make any difference to me whether the bracelets are the same or not."

  Luo Sheng was startled, subconsciously withdrew his hand.

  The big hand clenched even tighter.

Good morning.
