On the first day, when Yaoguang was still in a cold and aloof state, she once told Su Qingluan that if she took any action, she would not inform her, but just asked her not to make a fuss about her sudden disappearance.
After a few days of getting along, Yaoguang, although still indifferent on the surface, whispered during breakfast that day: "Don't prepare my share of dinner tonight. I may not be back for six or seven days."
Su Qingluan lowered her eyes and calculated Song Bo's pace, then raised her eyebrows: "Qingzhou?"
Yaoguang was obviously a little surprised that Su Qingluan could guess her destination just by telling her the time.
But in fact, this is not difficult. After all, Mu Xingzhi is now in a stage of "walking on a tightrope and performing a double act", that is, the identities of "Xiao Huan" and "Mu Xingzhi" exist at the same time.
Although she didn't know why she was suddenly given such a difficult situation, Su Qingluan felt that the identity of "Mu Xingzhi" should still be useful.
However, since Mu Xingzhi is now in the identity of "Xiao Huan", no matter what, after the identity of "Xiao Huan" is clear, even if Mu Xingzhi can find a reason not to go to Jingzhou temporarily, at least he cannot let His Royal Highness the Prince fall to living in a remote countryside, right?
To put it bluntly, although his status had not yet been officially restored, his treatment could not be too degraded, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the royal family. If the entire royal family still had some dignity, they would not allow the newly recognized legitimate son of the former queen to suffer in the common people.
The first step, of course, was to place the prince in a place with a relatively good environment - the remote and poor Huaxi Village was obviously not an option.
As for the surroundings, although Lefeng County has its own beautiful scenery, for the Xie family, which is under the royal family, it is only used to imprison "young men who reflect on their mistakes", so it is naturally not the best choice.
After looking around, it is natural that a state capital that is equivalent to the "provincial capital" in the previous life is more in line with this requirement, and the nearest "provincial capital" is Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou is no other place but the place where Xie Xuanfan, the head of the Xie family, serves as the governor. This is a coincidence opening the door for coincidence - coincidence has finally arrived.
Su Qingluan happened to make egg yolk flower pastry today. It looked crispy with a light orange color and was very elegant. Su Qingluan tried to make it by mashing the juice from carrots grown in flower pots. The result was a little worse than she expected, but it was still pretty good.
Although the color was slightly worse than what she expected, the salted egg yolk used this time was sandy and soft, very palatable. In addition, Su Qingluan broke with her previous practice of making the coconut filling sweet, and added a little black pepper to the egg yolk, making it a salty dessert that would not be greasy even as a snack.
"Yaoguang, eat a few while they're hot. They'll be even crispier when they cool down." Su Qingluan paused, then suddenly thought, "If it's convenient, could you bring some of these pastries to Mu Xingzhi for me?"
Su Qingluan said this completely out of habit. After all, since coming here, Su Qingluan has developed the habit of sharing anything delicious or fun with Mu Xingzhi.
Although Mu Xingzhi always teased her with a mixture of laughter and tears, calling her "childish," he didn't refuse. Furthermore, Mu Xingzhi's aesthetic taste was always up to par, so he could often offer unique and practical suggestions for improvement. This also prompted Su Qingluan to be more willing to share with him whatever delicious or fun things she had.
Yaoguang glanced at Su Qingluan and thought to herself: Great! I just changed my impression of you a few days ago and thought you were a law-abiding person. I didn’t expect that your true colors would be revealed now?
But thinking about how she had eaten quite a bit of the other person's food, she coughed lightly and gently reminded him, "Even if I travel light, it will take at least three days to walk, and we'll have to sleep in the open air along the way. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this snack by then."
Yaoguang originally thought that Su Qingluan would show a frustrated and disappointed expression after hearing the news, but she just nodded calmly, picked up a flower from the food box where the flower-like pastries were neatly arranged, put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes and started eating.
This time it was Yaoguang who was stunned: "You...how did you eat it?"
Su Qingluan blinked in confusion. "Although these pastries will become crispier when cooled, they can only be kept until tomorrow at best. Besides, didn't you say it would take three days to get to Mu Xingzhi's place? It would be a shame to let such delicious pastries spoil." She pushed the food box a little towards Yaoguang and said, "Try two of them. They're salty and not greasy."
Yaoguang was dumbfounded for a long time before finally uttering, "...Aren't you trying to curry favor with the boss by eating?"
"What?" Su Qingluan's face was full of black lines. "Why should I try to please Mu Xingzhi by eating?"
"If it's not to please the boss, why do you go to so much trouble to hone your cooking skills?" Yaoguang was puzzled.
In her opinion, although Su Qingluan was not so unable to carry anything, she was still far inferior to a well-trained secret guard like her.
Think about those colleagues who don’t know martial arts, they naturally have their own skills.
But after observing her for a few days, Yaoguang felt that this Madam Su Qingluan did not have any peerless martial arts, nor was she well-versed in classics, nor did she seem to have any great strategies, nor did she have the ability to serve others attentively and considerately... So what exactly did her master like about her?
After thinking about it, the only thing that can be said is that his cooking skills are outstanding.
So Yaoguang took it for granted that Su Qingluan was "honing her cooking skills" for her master.
Although Su Qingluan is usually very indifferent to things like observing people's words and expressions, it doesn't mean that she is really a fool. Moreover, Yaoguang asked so clearly, so she naturally knew that the other party had misunderstood her.
Naturally, she would not tell Yaoguang about the seemingly "weird" ideas she provided to Mu Xingzhi - what's more, she felt that apart from Mu Xingzhi, many people would regard such seemingly unconventional ideas as fairy tales or jokes.
However, she was still a little unhappy that her favorite hobby was misunderstood as a tool to please others: "I already liked cooking before I met Mu Xing." Su Qingluan corrected.
"But apart from this, why did the boss..." Although she didn't ask the rest of the question, Su Qingluan understood what she meant - why her, Su Qingluan?
"You want to marry Mu Xingzhi?" Su Qingluan seemed to suddenly understand.
"How, how is that possible!" To Su Qingluan's surprise, Yaoguang denied it the moment Su Qingluan asked the question. "How could someone of my status possibly be worthy of the master? The master should marry a woman who is stunningly beautiful, well-read, and has an outstanding family background. Only then can he be of help!"
Su Qingluan suddenly realized: I originally thought Yaoguang was a girlfriend fan, but it turned out that this person was a career fan.
But Su Qingluan saw it clearly: "You are talking about a woman 'worthy of Xiao Huan', not 'someone suitable for Mu Xingzhi'."
