Chapter 200 Master’s acquaintance?
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Mr. Qingyi, this is the honey cake I made by myself, please try it." Aunt Hua said with a smile, picked up a piece of honey cake from the plate beside and handed it to Qingyi, her attitude much more respectful.
"Thank you." Qing Yi couldn't refuse the hospitality. Although he didn't like sweets very much, he still took a piece and put it in his mouth. This honey cake was indeed well made. Although it was a little sweet, it melted in the mouth and was sweet and delicious. He thought to himself: "I'm sure Xiao Ye will like it."
"Aunt Hua, let's go back to the palace first." Qingqing prepared to leave with Qingyi.
"Don't go. Have lunch here. I'll make you something delicious." Aunt Hua warmly invited them to stay.
Qingqing was even more puzzled. Why was Aunt Hua so enthusiastic? She wasn't usually like this. What happened today?
"No need, the young prince is still waiting for Master Qingyi to have dinner." He gently declined.
"It's okay. I'll ask Lao Zhang to go to the palace and invite the young prince over. If he knew I made his favorite lotus root and pork ribs soup, he would definitely come." Aunt Hua seemed determined to keep them for dinner and tried to persuade them warmly.
"..." She looked at Qing Yi helplessly, not knowing what to do.
"Well, let's wait until next time when I come here with the little prince to taste Aunt Hua's cooking." Qing Yi forced a smile and declined again.
This Aunt Hua is so enthusiastic that it’s almost a bit too much. If you don’t know her, you might actually think she is his long-lost aunt. It’s so weird!
He didn't want to stay here any longer. His mind was filled with thoughts of what the Northwest King had in mind by sending Xiao Ye to the military camp. Was it some kind of deception? He didn't want to leave Xiao Ye even for a moment; he had to keep a close eye on her.
"Old Zhang, go to the palace and see if the young prince is here. Just tell him that I specially made his favorite lotus root and pork ribs soup, and honey cake, and ask him to come." Aunt Hua seemed to have completely ignored Qingqing and Qingyi's polite refusal, and she gave her husband her own instructions, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"..." Qingqing and Qingyi looked at each other and read helplessness in each other's eyes. It seemed that they could not leave today and had to have this meal here.
"By the way, what kind of wine does Young Master Qingyi like to drink? I can prepare it in advance." Aunt Hua suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"Wine?" Qing Yi's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the word "wine" and asked, "What kind of wine do you have?"
"Ganoderma lucidum wine, barley wine, glutinous rice wine, daughter's red wine, and Feixia..." Aunt Hua listed several kinds of wine in one breath as if they were her treasures.
Qing Yi's eyes lit up at this. Since yesterday, the King of the Northwest had stopped giving him Feixia wine. He was worried about where to find it and was thinking about finding a chance to steal it, but he didn't expect to find it here? This was simply "getting it for free"! He was overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Feixia, let's just be Feixia." Qingyi said casually, but he was already impatient in his heart.
Just one glance at Qing Yi's unconcealable smile and he knew what this kid was planning. He couldn't help but secretly complain: What a drunkard!
Aunt Hua was delighted to see Qing Yi agreed. She took Qing Yi's hand and said enthusiastically, "Okay, okay, there's plenty of Feixia wine, so feel free to drink. Master Qing Yi, your clothes are a little dirty. There are clean clothes in the young prince's room. Please change first and I'll help you wash your clothes."
"..." Qing Yi and Qing Qing were speechless after hearing what Aunt Hua said. Aunt Hua was too enthusiastic and thoughtful, which was almost overwhelming.
"I'll have someone prepare some hot water. You can take a shower first, and I'll get you some clothes."
"Um... no need?" Qing Yi quickly refused. He couldn't say in front of Aunt Hua that he disliked white clothes. After all, this was their first meeting, and it would be too rude to say so.
"Don't worry, Master Qingyi, these clothes are brand new and have been kept for the young prince as a spare." Aunt Hua thought Qingyi was worried that the clothes were not clean, so she quickly explained.
"Um...that's not what I meant..." Qing Yi waved his hands hurriedly, wanting to explain clearly, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay, go change. You can't eat here with mud all over your body." She looked Qing Yi up and down, looking at his clothes covered in dirt, and suggested.
"...Okay!" Qing Yi finally gave in. He had been "captured" by the allure of the wine, so he could only obediently change his clothes.
Aunt Hua smiled contentedly as she went to prepare, her busy figure revealing an indescribable joy.
She looked Qing Yi up and down carefully, her eyes seemed to see through him. Qing Yi felt uneasy under her gaze, and could not help but frown and asked, "What are you looking at, little girl?"
Qingqing asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly so favored by Aunt Hua? Could it be that you two knew each other before?"
Qing Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "This is my first time here, how could I know her? It's really weird! I find it strange too. When we first met, she wasn't so enthusiastic. What happened just now? Why is she suddenly so nice to me?"
As he spoke, Qing Yi began to try to recall what he had just said. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Qing girl, could it be that this Aunt Hua knows my master?"
Qingqing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yeah, I thought of that too. It seems that she suddenly became enthusiastic when I mentioned Master Mo just now."
The more Qing Yi thought about it, the more it made sense. He said excitedly, "It's really possible! Given my master's relationship with Prince Shi, he must have met Princess Qing. Aunt Hua, as Princess Qing's maid, has very likely met my master!" The more he analyzed, the more he felt that his speculation was correct. He then joked, "So it turns out that love for someone extends to their dog. Could it be that Aunt Hua had a crush on my master? Otherwise, why would she be so kind to me?"
Qing Yi's idea is really bold, fortunately his master will not know about his weird ideas.
After studying it for a while, the two finally came to a conclusion: Aunt Hua's sudden enthusiasm for Qing Yi was due to Sect Leader Mo! After figuring this out, the two felt much more at ease and calmly accepted Aunt Hua's warm hospitality.
