Chapter 909: 418 Her Secret (two updates)_2 Chapter 909: 418 Her Secret (two updates)_2 “Alright then,” Gu Jiao set down her chopsticks. “You feed me.”

She had never been fed by a Dragon Shadow Guard before; it was a truly unique experience across two lifetimes.

Long Yi was especially happy as he took out the silverware he had hidden behind him!

Gu Jiao fixed her gaze and nearly stumbled!

Others feed with a spoon, why are you holding a spatula?!

Are you serious?!

Princess Xinyang was eating next door, and Gu Jiao walked in without changing her expression. “I’ve been thinking, it seems impolite to eat alone. I’d better join the Princess.”

Princess Xinyang neither allowed nor refused, and Gu Jiao took it as consent, sitting down opposite her.

There was another set of tableware on the table, but Gu Jiao did not sit at the seat corresponding to that set, instead choosing the one beside it.

After sitting down, she didn’t bring the other set over.

Yujin’s eyes flickered.

“You should sit down and eat, too,” Princess Xinyang said to Yujin.

“Yes,” Yujin added a set of tableware for Gu Jiao, then sat down on the chair that corresponded to the original set.

She looked at Gu Jiao with puzzlement.

Uncertain whether Gu Jiao’s choice was a coincidence or whether she had already discerned that Yujin was meant to dine with Princess Xinyang.

Gu Jiao focused on eating, as if she had no concern for anything beyond her meal.

Yujin’s expression relaxed, and she began eating her meal in an unhurried manner.

Actually, Gu Jiao wasn’t indifferent to other matters, she just refrained from showing it. While eating, she covertly observed Princess Xinyang.

The Princess’s actions were gentle, carrying an innate noble grace that made Gu Jiao think involuntarily of Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang was the same; even back in the countryside, wearing patched clothing, he could not hide the splendor in his eyes and the inherent gracefulness in his movements.

Gu Jiao had never seen what Xiao Liulang looked like before, so unlike the old libationer, she didn’t feel that Xiao had completely changed.

In fact, no matter how much a person changes their temperament or their writing style, or abruptly changes their habits… certain small gestures and expressions never change.

What one deliberately alters are the things they are aware of, but those they do not perceive naturally remain unaltered.

Xiao Liulang himself didn’t know that when he ate something delicious, his eyes would blink rapidly twice, and when he ate something he disliked, his left eyebrow would twitch.

It was the same with Princess Xinyang.

However, it looked like there wasn’t anything she particularly liked on the table.

The three of them quietly finished their meal, and Princess Xinyang left for the room next door.

Yujin considerately asked Gu Jiao, “Doctor Gu, have you eaten your fill? There are still some snacks in the kitchen.”

“No need, I’ve eaten enough,” Gu Jiao said. Her appetite wasn’t large, and she had eaten two bowls today only because she had expended a lot by fighting. Normally, one bowl would suffice.

Yujin laughed and politely inquired, “Doctor Gu, did you like the dishes tonight?”

Gu Jiao replied, “I’m not picky.”

Implying she didn’t like them much.

Nothing could compare to the Braised Pork cooked specially for her by Princess Xinyang, but with Long Yi brandishing a spatula, she got scared and ran away.

Yujin was surprised by Gu Jiao’s forthrightness. Normally, people would have politely said they liked it, that the taste was very good, thanked for the hospitality, and so on.

Gu Jiao added, “I don’t think the Princess liked it much either; there wasn’t even any meat on the table.”

Yujin was astonished, “You… noticed?”

Princess Xinyang wouldn’t show her preferences on her face; she seemed indifferent to everything. Even the servants who had served her for years found it difficult to discern whether she actually liked or disliked something.

Pausing for a moment, Yujin said, “The Princess is vegetarian.”

Here came another vegetarian.

The Empress Dowager was vegetarian too, but that woman was probably feigning it. Gu Jiao wondered why Princess Xinyang chose to be vegetarian?

After a thought, Gu Jiao asked, “Does she also feel nauseous around meat?”

Yujin was taken aback.

What kind of question was that? Does anyone get nauseous around meat?

Yujin could not keep up with Gu Jiao’s whimsical thoughts, but did not change the subject, hesitated for a moment, and said, “The Princess isn’t always vegetarian; she used to eat meat too. It’s only in recent years she has stopped, saying she wants to accumulate virtue for the young master, to ensure a better family in his next life.”

Gu Jiao didn’t believe it.

Yet combining with her own experiences, Gu Jiao thought that maybe at the end of science there lay theology; perhaps people couldn’t reincarnate, but they could step into another parallel space-time.

When brainwaves traveled through time and space, they were affected by magnetic fields and lost past memories, giving rise to the notion of drinking Spicy Soup to forget one’s past.
