Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 668: There is nothing that a hot pot can't solve
Nianxiang Restaurant, noon.

Just when Xuanyuan Long and Tiancan Mage had made the decision to deal with Gu Chan secretly.

Gu Chan, however, knew nothing about this at the moment. Instead, she was in the room on the second floor, eating hot pot with Zuo Yun and Princess Thirteen.

The three of them sat around a table with piles of dishes on it, and in the middle of the table was a small stove with a hot pot with a spicy hot pot base on it.

Princess Thirteen's forehead was covered with sweat as she ate. Her face flushed as she said, "This is delicious. Prince Chan, what's the name of this? I didn't expect that this table of food could be eaten this way."

"Princess Thirteen, this is called hot pot, a traditional food from my hometown. There is a saying in my hometown that there is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot. If it doesn't work, then have another meal." Gu Chan said with a laugh.

Princess Thirteen said with a straight face, "Don't try to play tricks on me. Do you really think that a bowl of hot pot can appease me? I'm still mad at you!"

"Then don't be angry. Today I will not only accompany you to eat hot pot, but also teach you how to play finger-guessing games." Gu Chan said.

"What is finger-guessing game?" Princess Thirteen became interested and asked, staring at Gu Chan.

Gu Chan reached out and patted Zuo Yun who was sitting next to her, "Come on, let's go through it together, starting with the simplest fifteen and twenty."

"Get out! You stepped on my precious cricket to death, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!" Zuo Yun said angrily.

"Can I find you a better one later? Don't be angry with me now, let's work together to coax Princess Thirteen first." Gu Chan said bitterly.

Zuo Yun sighed and said, "Forget it, it's already dead anyway. There's no point blaming you now. We can only focus on the business first."

"Then come on." Gu Chan said, raising his fists.

Zuo Yun also raised his fists, and then the two of them started shouting fifteen and twenty, and whoever lost had to drink a glass of wine.

The Thirteenth Princess sat aside, watching with great interest, and soon she learned this simplest game of finger-guessing and joined the battle. After a while, the three of them were having a great time, and she finally had a smile on her face.

An hour later, the Thirteenth Princess followed Gu Chan and Zuo Yun and learned the finger-guessing and wood-chopping games from the southwest.

This kind of finger-guessing game is more complicated than the fifteen-twenty game, but it is also more fun to shout. It made her laugh so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. Gu Chan stopped and said, "Princess Thirteen, are you happier now?"

"Hmph! You still owe me a glass of wine! Drink it quickly." Princess Thirteen said arrogantly.

Without saying a word, Gu Chan picked up the wine glass in front of her, tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass.

Zuo Yun smiled and said, "You are really amazing. You coaxed her into submission so quickly. Last time I provoked her, it took me three days to coax her into submission."

"You and I are different. The Thirteenth Princess likes you, but you want to avoid her and even marry Yuan Jie. How can you please her? If it were me, I would want to kill you." Gu Chan said angrily.

Zuo Yun smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The Thirteenth Princess glared at him and said, "I'll give you three days to divorce your wife quickly, or I'll kill her sooner or later."

"No, Princess Thirteen, Yuan Jie is my most beloved subordinate! Just give me some face and let it go!" Gu Chan persuaded hurriedly.

"Oh! In that case, I will give Prince Chan a favor and not divorce her, but I have to let her be my concubine." Princess Thirteen said with a wicked smile.

Zuo Yun said with a bitter face, "Princess Thirteen! You have to understand that a forced melon is not sweet. We are really not suitable for each other. And to put it bluntly, if you really stay with me, I am afraid that my general's mansion will never have peace in the future."

"You dislike me so much, don't you?" Princess Thirteen said sadly. "I don't dislike me, I..." Zuo Yun was speechless.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "Well, I'll tell the Crown Prince about your matter. I'm planning to marry Zuo Yun's sister Zuo Xin, so why not take advantage of today to get married together? I'll marry Zuo Xin and you'll marry the Thirteenth Princess. What do you think?"

"Ah?" Zuo Yun was dumbfounded.

The Thirteenth Princess said shyly, "If Prince Chan can persuade my brother to grant me a marriage, then I can only respectfully obey your command."

"Don't worry, Princess Thirteen. Even though a forced melon is not sweet, it can quench your thirst! Your marriage is in my hands. I will definitely help you get it done." Gu Chan said, patting his chest.

The Thirteenth Princess laughed happily and finally stopped being upset with Gu Chan.

Zuo Yun, on the other hand, sat there with a stiff face, not knowing what to do at all. He also knew that this matter could not be avoided. Even though he had married Yuan Jie, he could not escape the clutches of the Thirteenth Princess.

Seeing how miserable he was, Gu Chan couldn't help but put her mouth close to his ear and whispered, "Don't be like this, you have to act happier. Let's deal with the Thirteenth Princess first, and then consider other things. As long as she doesn't cause us any more trouble, she can help us with her abilities."

"It's easy for you to say that. Why don't you marry her? She is a well-known disaster star in the royal family of Tiancang Kingdom. Do you want to kill my whole family?" Zuo Yun said angrily.

"Don't worry, I will ask the Crown Prince to grant her a princess mansion, and then you can take Yuan Jie and move there to live with her. This way, even if something happens, it won't bring harm to your family." Gu Chan said shrewdly.

After hearing what she said, Zuo Yun reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the big trouble of Princess Thirteen could finally be solved. From now on, as long as nothing goes wrong, she will definitely be a great help to them.

With this thought in mind, Gu Chan said no more and continued to play finger-guessing games and drink with Princess Thirteen to make her happy.

After finishing the hot pot, the three of them left the restaurant together and returned to the palace.

Soon after, the three of them arrived outside the imperial study.

The imperial guards guarding the gate were frightened when they saw the Thirteenth Princess also coming, and they rushed in to report to Xuanyuan Long.

The Thirteenth Princess stretched out her hands and pulled Gu Chan on both sides and rushed in directly. She was not afraid of the current crown prince at all.

"Brother, long time no see, I hope you are well!"

The three of them walked into the imperial study, and the Thirteenth Princess opened her mouth and shouted.

Xuanyuan Long, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, couldn't help but shrink his neck in fear and quickly hid backwards.

The Tiancan wizard sitting next to her had an indifferent expression on his face. He stood up politely and greeted her.

Gu Chan said in surprise, "Master Imperial Master, what a coincidence! How come you are here too!"

"I just happened to come to discuss tomorrow's coronation ceremony with the Crown Prince. I didn't expect you to be here too." Master Tiancan said with a faint smile.

Gu Chan glanced at him with a sneer on her face.

She was not a fool and could see at a glance that Master Tiancan was not telling the truth but was intentionally covering up something.
