Chapter 392 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 10

Helian Yin sat on a stone bench under a tree, his face clouded with gloom.

There was a pot of wine on the stone table. He poured himself a drink and pondered whether he should be a gentleman and keep his word, and stop sneaking into her room at night, or he should go and scare the naughty little cat so that she would remember that she had a fiancé.

Just then, Qi Shi came running over, limping, "Your Highness...Your Highness...Good news! The Princess has sent someone to deliver a token of your love!"

Helian Yin lowered his hand from his forehead, sat up straight with a calm expression, looked at Qi Shi, and scolded, "What kind of behavior is this, jumping around like that?"

Qi Shi immediately stood up straight with his hands at his sides, his face cold and stern, and remained silent.

Helian Yin waited for a while, and seeing him standing there dumbfounded, he couldn't help but ask impatiently, "Where's the stuff?"

Qi Shi realized what was happening and quickly let the person who delivered the items in.

The servant responsible for running errands was a rather clever-looking young man, but he was clearly somewhat trembling in front of the Regent, saying, "Greetings, Regent."

He thought he only needed to hand the item over to someone close to the regent, so why was it brought before the regent?

He wasn't prepared at all!

What if I accidentally offend the Regent? Would I be beheaded?

The servant was terrified, so he knelt on the ground and dared not utter a sound.

Helian Yin frowned.

Qi Shi hurriedly asked, "Where are the things? Can't you see the prince is in a hurry? No sense at all!"

"Huh? Oh... I'm here, I'm here!"

The servant quickly took out a brocade box and handed it to Qi Shi with both hands.

Qi Shi bent down and handed the item to Helian Yinshi, saying in a low voice, "Qi Ying sent word that it was carved by the Princess herself."

Upon hearing this, Helian Yin paused for a moment. Why was they carving it already? "You didn't hurt your hand?"

"No."

Helian Yin opened the box with a bit of curiosity, and then... fell silent.

"Is this me?"

Qi Shi stared at the little wooden figure, and thought, "Hmm... why isn't it?"

Look at that nose, those eyes, how is it not like you? The Princess's likeness is absolutely perfect! Even the patterns on the robes are flawless!

To be honest, it doesn't look like something rushed out; it's clearly made with care.

The only problem was that the regent was carrying a large sword, glaring angrily, and looked like he was about to chop someone's head off at any moment.

Qi Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps in the Princess's heart, the Prince is indeed so heroic and extraordinary."

Helian Yin snorted coldly, "What heroic and extraordinary? He's clearly just cruel and violent."

He held the wooden carving in his hands, feeling a mix of joy and anger, his emotions were somewhat complicated.

Thinking that Yun Qing had carved this piece stroke by stroke, he sighed inwardly. Oh well! Let's be happy for now!

He stroked the wooden carving in his hand and said, "Has the kitchen come up with a new pastry? Take some back for the Princess."

Qi Shi chuckled and said, "Alright!"

Then he beckoned the servant who was trembling with fear after the Regent’s cold snort to go to the kitchen to fetch pastries, and on the way he gave a special reminder, “Remember to tell the Princess that these pastries are a new product from the Prince’s kitchen, and only the Prince’s chefs know how to make them.”

Although Qi Shi didn't understand the thoughts of young women, which led him to misjudge the princess's attitude, he had been with the prince for so long that he could still figure out some of the prince's thoughts.

Servant: ...Second Miss, is this the Princess Consort? Isn't she still married into the Regent's Palace?

Could this be the Regent's way of showing his regard for the Second Miss?

As for the rest, he didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

When Qi returned after finishing his business, he found Helian Yin still caressing the wooden carving.

Qi Shi: ...I've seen people play with objects before, but this is the first time I've seen someone play with their own.

Judging by the prince's enthusiasm, he should be able to polish himself up very quickly, right?

Yunqing was quite satisfied with the pastries from the Prince's Mansion, but there were only a few.

Knowing that only the Prince's residence possessed such gifts, she began to ponder what to send to the Regent tomorrow.

So, when Helian Yin returned from the morning court the next day, he received another portrait.

The painting still depicts him, but compared to yesterday's wooden carving, the person in the portrait is elegant and gentle, showing no trace of ferocity.

Helian Yin was both annoyed and amused.

The servant who brought the portrait also cautiously added, "Your Highness, the Second Miss said the pastries yesterday were quite good."

The hints shouldn't be too obvious.

Helian Yin carefully put away the portrait and generously gave him another serving of pastries.

Because Helian Yin was pressing them so hard, the Imperial Observatory dared not delay in the slightest. They quickly chose an auspicious date, set the wedding date for the two of them, and began preparations for the wedding.

But Yun Qing was captivated by the pastries and spent every day thinking about what to give Helian Yin.

She also had her servant hint to Helian Yin that he could pack a few more pastries each time, so she could finish them all.

However, whether it was because the servant's hints were inadequate or Helian Yin didn't understand, there were only four pieces of pastry each time, and they were very small, not enough to satisfy her cravings. She would eat them today and then crave them tomorrow.

She also had the kitchen staff try making it, but it just didn't taste the same.

So she could only keep sending things to Helian Yin every day, hoping that the servant would bring the pastries back.

However, a few days later, the pastries suddenly disappeared! Gone!!!

Helian Yin still had his servant bring something back, but instead of pastries, he drew her a picture of a cat with its fur standing on end.

Although the drawing is very good and lively, who wants a kitten?! Where are her pastries?

Yun Qing was sullen all day.

Instead of being so angry that he couldn't eat, he ate an extra bowl at every meal.

But she couldn't sleep at night, so she got out of bed, sat by the window, looked at the moon, and grieved alone.

If only she had Helian Yin's skills, she would definitely sneak into the Regent's Palace in the middle of the night to steal pastries!

She leaned weakly against the windowsill, grumbling, "Helian Yin is so annoying!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly fell in front of him, blocking the originally bright moonlight.

How annoying is it?

Yun Qing looked up and saw Helian Yin's handsome yet frightening face.

Her eyes were filled with terror. Her elbow slipped, and she almost hit her head on the windowsill. Fortunately, Helian Yin reacted quickly and reached out to cushion her fall.

His fingers touched her cheek briefly before pulling away, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Yun Qing, still shaken, stammered, "You... how did you get here? You said it wouldn't happen again!"

After saying that, she quickly said in a timid voice, "I'm not blaming you... I... Waaah... I was wrong!"

Helian Yin rubbed his fingers, which were hidden in his sleeve, as if the soft touch still lingered on his fingertips. He asked calmly, "Where did I go wrong?"

“I shouldn’t have insulted you… I was incredibly disrespectful…”

Waaah... Am I about to lose my head?

Seeing that tears were about to fall from her eyes, Helian Yin raised his hand and poked her forehead, chuckling, "How pathetic!"

Yun Qing's head shook from being poked, and she sobbed, "Waaah... I'm just pathetic, I don't want to lose my head..."

"Alright, what use is your head to me?"

Yun Qing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! My brain is useless!" Huh? Does that mean they're not going to chop off her head?

Then she complained in a low voice, "Didn't you say you wouldn't sneak into my room at night anymore? You broke your promise!"

Qi Ying: ...

She found the princess to be quite perplexing; she seemed to both want to take the fifth prince and not really want to, and she was both afraid of the prince and not really afraid of him—a very contradictory situation.

She kept saying she wanted to snatch the Fifth Prince, but all she gave him was a purse embroidered by a maid, and then she regretted it and didn't give it to him. During this time, she was only focused on preparing gifts for the Prince, completely forgetting about the Fifth Prince and not caring about how his injuries were recovering.

She viewed the prince as a monstrous threat, trembling with fear and her eyes brimming with tears, yet she dared to give him gifts that no one else would ever dare to give, and she dared to harbor resentment towards the prince over a few pieces of pastry, and now she even dared to criticize the prince.

Faced with Yun Qing's reproach, Helian Yin remained unfazed, "But I didn't go in, did I?"

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

Is that even possible?!

She hesitated and said, "You... how can you be so shameless?"

She thought about it and swallowed her words, afraid that he might suddenly want her head again.

In fact, Helian Yin had never intended to be so shameless.

He cut off her pastries, hoping she would put more thought into it and think of other ways to get them instead of just sending her something every day to trick her out of the pastries, and the things she sent were becoming increasingly perfunctory.

Who knew she had such a temper? She was so angry over a few pieces of pastry that she couldn't sleep at night.
