"Qingshui, now even you won't listen to me?"
Qin Ji's face was frosty.
Jiang Shengsheng stood up, pointed her fan at his nose and said, "Why are you so fierce? You idiot, who couldn't even get a glass of water, is taking your anger out on your own family. You're really good!"
"Are you trying to get me out? I'm telling you, I'm not leaving today!"
"Princess, it's useless for you to look at me like this. I'm going to stay here today. I know you hate me, but it doesn't matter. I don't care."
Jiang Shengsheng was in a complete mess.
Xiaojiu kept eating the cakes bought by Baizhi without saying a word, but he was curious in his heart. The second lady of the Jiang family was like this, so why was Aunt Huang not angry?
"Sir, this is not good."
The servant who had been waiting outside the door ran in and whispered a few words in Qin Ji's ear.
The sound was not loud, and Jiang Li only heard the words "itchy", "no", and "poisoned" from the Third Prince.
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Qin Ji's expression changed and he walked out directly.
"Jiang Li, you'd better think twice about what I said today."
Finally, Qin Ji turned around and said this again.
"Bang", Qin Ji walked too fast and his right shoulder hit the door frame. Hearing the laughter behind him, he snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
Seeing that the person had disappeared, Jiang Shengsheng also shook her fan, stood up and said, "After leaving Qingshui, let's go back. Alas, Aji is the younger generation in the family after all. As his aunt, I can't just watch him do the wrong thing, don't you think?"
It seems like he is asking the clear water, but also seems like he is talking to himself.
"Princess, please don't be angry. I will talk to Mr. Qin about this later."
Looking up, their eyes met.
No one noticed that a tacit understanding that didn't require words disappeared in an instant.

That night.
When Gu Qingchen returned to the palace, it was already past dinner time.
In the past, Mo Jiu would go to the small kitchen and ask someone to make some food and bring it to the study.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the mansion today, I saw the butler waiting there.
"What's up?"
Gu Qingchen glanced at the housekeeper, who had a delighted look on his face.
"Your Highness, the princess asked you to go to the side room as soon as you return. She and the Ninth Princess are waiting to have dinner with you."
The butler's tone was very excited. It had been many years since the palace had been so lively.
Today, the princess came back with the princess and stayed in the small kitchen, saying that she wanted to cook herself.
Not to mention the princess, even the wives of other officials rarely cook for themselves. No wonder the servants say that their prince is so blessed!
Hasn't she eaten yet?
Gu Qingchen frowned slightly and replied, "Yeah, I understand."
"Why hasn't the emperor's uncle come back yet?"
Xiaojiu looked outside the door several times, thinking that the emperor's uncle was at home. Who knew that he would come back to the palace at the last minute? Seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked, he must be back at some point.
He touched his rumbling stomach and asked, "Aunt Huang, are you hungry?"
Looking at the little girl's appearance, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat medicinal food?"
I still remember that when we came back in the evening, Jiang Li said she would cook some medicinal food, and Xiaojiu was a little reluctant.
He said that he had been eating medicinal food according to Jiang Li's recipes in the palace for some time, and now that he had finally come out, he wanted to change the taste.
"Aunt Huang, you really wronged me..."
The little girl curled her lips and said, "Can this be called a medicinal meal? It looks like a delicacy. I think the imperial chef has ruined the recipe you gave me!"
It was obviously the same dish, but the one made by Jiang Li was completely different from the one made by the royal chef.
Take the tofu soup in front of him, for example. In Jiang Li's hands, it turned into a golden lotus. Just looking at it made him drool.
"Your Majesty."
When Gu Yuyan heard the voices of Bai Zhi and Mo Qi who were waiting outside, her eyes lit up.
"Uncle! You're finally back! Come and have dinner!"
Xiaojiu waved his hands anxiously, then immediately sat down at the table with an expectant look on his face.
After taking the handkerchief handed to him by the servant and wiping his hands, Gu Qingchen sat down next to Jiang Li.
On the way, the housekeeper had already told him that Jiang Li would personally cook tonight's dinner. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, the bright candlelight in the room, the woman smiling at him, and the noisy Xiaojiu, Gu Qingchen's mind popped up a word: "home."
"What are you still doing sitting here? Come and eat."
Jiang Li sat on Gu Qingchen's left, and Gu Yuyan sat on Jiang Li's left.
"Something happened suddenly in the palace. Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
Jiang Li had just taken a bite of the dish when she heard Gu Qingchen talking beside her.
Hearing this, Jiang Li didn't think much about it. She just felt that the family should eat together in a neat and orderly manner, so she just said, "It's more lively to eat together, and it won't take long."
"Alas, the Imperial Aunt is still so kind to you," Xiaojiu sighed as he ate, "If the Imperial Uncle hadn't come back, I would have starved to death."
"You girl, you just finished eating the pastries from Shangsufang, and you were complaining that you were full." Jiang Li shook her head and added more dishes to Xiaojiu.
"How can those pastries compare with the delicacies made by you, Aunt Huang?" The closer Gu Yuyan got to Jiang Li, the more she clung to her. In front of Jiang Li, she couldn't help but act coquettishly.
Jiang Li couldn't help but smile and added more dishes to Xiaojiu.
But before she put away her chopsticks, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.
When she glanced sideways, she saw that it was Gu Qingchen who had been staring at the chopsticks in her hand.
That look seems like... a little jealous?
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then "casually" added some dishes to Gu Qingchen.
