At that moment, the Crown Princess felt her understanding of the Crown Prince was far from complete.
She thought she knew enough about this man’s stupidity and vileness, but never imagined he had this side to him.
The Crown Princess grew curious and coldly observed the Crown Prince’s actions.
At this moment, the Crown Prince naturally paid no attention to others’ (the Crown Princess’s) feelings. He carefully extended the oil paper package forward.
Er Niu disdainfully turned its head away.
Braised beef was no longer its favorite; it now preferred steamed meat.
Doesn’t like it?
The Crown Prince wasn’t ready to give up. He bent down and placed the braised beef on the ground, “It’s made by the imperial chefs. You surely haven’t tried it before.”
Er Niu’s ears twitched.
What were imperial chefs? It might be worth a taste.
Er Niu lowered its head to sniff the meat on the ground. Confirming it was fine, it took a bite.
The beef was chewy, fragrant, and tender.
Approving the taste, the large dog happily began to eat.
Seeing Er Niu quickly devour the entire package of braised beef, the Crown Prince was overjoyed and tentatively took a step forward.
Er Niu raised its head, looking at the Crown Prince and licking its lips.
What did this person want?
The Crown Prince took another step closer.
Er Niu watched the approaching person impassively, thinking: He’s almost at the limit of what I can tolerate.
Seeing that he could approach Er Niu step by step without incident, the Crown Prince felt a surge of wild joy.
After all, they had shared hardships in Qianhe County, and now the dog had happily eaten the braised beef. Surely this big dog was quite familiar with him now, right?
He had asked servants who had raised dogs before, and they said that if a dog willingly ate food given by someone, it meant the dog had accepted that person.
“Er Niu, was the braised beef delicious?”
Er Niu wagged its tail.
It was an honest dog. Compared to what it had eaten before, this was indeed tastier.
The Crown Prince smiled and took another step forward, saying, “In that case, why don’t you come with me from now on? I promise you’ll have braised beef to eat every day—”
The large dog suddenly leaped up and bit the Crown Prince on the buttocks.
The Crown Prince’s scream of pain rang out, followed by the shocked cries of guests who witnessed the scene.
“Oh no! The Crown Prince has been bitten by a dog—”
