Ci Xingxuan smiled slightly; he was quite looking forward to seeing what they would do.
The servant responded and, understanding the situation, left.
As he went out, he saw Ci Xingxuan's personal attendant standing at the door, holding a plate of pastries in his hands.
Ci Xingxuan's personal attendant, Jiang, merely nodded upon seeing him.
This person wasn't Feng Jun's personal attendant, but he would come to talk to Feng Jun from time to time, presumably to report something. Whenever this happened, Feng Jun would send him away.
As time went on, he became more sensible. Many times, without them having to ask, Attendant Jiang would leave on his own, leaving them some space.
"Your Highness, these are plum blossom pastries newly made by the imperial chef. Please try them." It is currently the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom.
Although the plum blossoms in the plum garden could not be touched, other places could be touched. So the imperial chef picked the red plums, processed them, boiled them into water, mixed the red water with flour, added red bean paste, and shaped them into plum blossoms, which is how the plum blossom pastry we see today came about.
Ci Xingxuan took a bite and replied, "It's alright."
Seeing that he wasn't eating, the servant spoke up again: "By the way, Your Highness, His Majesty has sent over several bolts of fine fabric, intending to make clothes for you. Would you like to go and take a look?"
"Then let's go take a look." Ci Xingxuan stood up immediately.
Soon, the fabric that Wan Ge had sent arrived appeared. It was soft to the touch, smooth, and lustrous. Even if it were made into new clothes, it would be a very comfortable material to wear for the first time.
"Luminous cloth is a rare fabric, yet His Majesty has made clothes for His Highness." This is a material that would be considered extravagant even for making a dragon robe.
"After His Highness fell ill this time, His Majesty seems to have been paying extra attention to him." Attendant Jiang felt that something was amiss, but being favored by His Majesty was a good thing.
"Yes." Even the servants could see it, so how could Ci Xingxuan not see it? But he was also puzzled, and he didn't know what Wan Ge was trying to do.
Deep down, I had already warned myself that perhaps her kindness towards me had ulterior motives, but Ci Xingxuan couldn't help but fall for her.
He didn't know why he had fallen for her so easily, but his heart was beyond his control.
But regardless, since His Majesty has already provoked him, then... "His Majesty can only be my His Majesty."
"Huh? What did you say, Your Highness?" Ci Xingxuan had spoken too softly, and the attendant hadn't heard what he said clearly.
"It's alright, these materials are all very good. I'll keep them and make a few clothes for His Majesty."
"Huh? But His Majesty gave this to you." His Majesty clearly said he would make clothes for Your Highness, so why does Your Highness want to make clothes for His Majesty again?
"It's alright."
"Yes." The servant had no choice but to obey.
…
In the afternoon, after finishing her business, Wan Ge arrived at Ci Xingxuan's palace and saw the other person making clothes.
He reached out and hugged her: "Why do you need Ah Xuan to do these little things yourself? Just have someone come and take your measurements."
Just as Wan Ge finished speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the styles: "Ah Xuan?"
Ci Xingxuan replied softly, "I think these materials are excellent; they would be very suitable for making clothes for His Majesty."
"Ah Xuan! This is for you."
“Since His Majesty gave it to Ah Xuan, it is naturally up to Ah Xuan to handle it, isn’t it?” Ci Xingxuan’s tone was gentle, and his words made it hard for anyone to refuse.
“But Ah Xuan’s behavior makes me feel that he doesn’t want to accept my kindness.” Wan Ge’s tone seemed to carry a hint of grievance, a trick he often used in his past life.
