Prime Minister Xiao twitched the corners of his lips and watched Xiao Qi stuff a piece into his mouth. He said this while complaining that Xiao Qi was such an old man and still liked to eat these desserts.
He seemed to be quite troubled by Hu Xun's personality and pointed at his forehead.
"It's not easy to get such high praise from my mother." Xiao Qi ignored Prime Minister Xiao's actions, laughed, picked up another piece of cake, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The sweetness was just right, soft and glutinous but not choking, and it was many times more delicious than the pastries Chu Ci stuffed into his mouth.
However, as the crown princess, it was really difficult for her to not only take medicine all day long, but also eat pastries with added ingredients that made the taste a little strange.
Xiao Qi couldn't help but recall Chu Ci's expression when she saw Feng You take out the pastries. She puffed out her cheeks, looked reluctant, and yet had to endure it.
The smile in his eyes grew even deeper.
Well, when the time comes, I’ll bring some snacks from the Prime Minister’s Mansion for her to try.
'Xiaoqi's love value +2, currently 27.'
"What kind of high praise is that?"
Prime Minister Xiao touched the tip of his nose and reached out to eat Xiao Qi's pastries.
However, when he stretched out his hand halfway, Xiao Qi glanced at him and then raised his hand and patted the back of his hand.
"Hey, little bastard, you are my child, what are you doing?"
"You're such a grown-up, and you still eat sweets. I'm telling you this. To maintain your image of wisdom and might, I've decided to offer this dessert to you, your mother. You're welcome."
Prime Minister Xiao: ...
If she had known that things would turn out like this, why had she been so eager to have a son?
Isn't it enough for her to have six precious daughters?
Why am I so depressed?
After the two argued for a while, Prime Minister Xiao finally got a piece of dessert. He looked like he had won and took a contented bite before speaking again. "Hu Xun is indeed capable and upright, but her integrity is a bit too much, which has led to her being inflexible. Dealing with her and being competitive always makes you want to pry her head open to see what kind of mess is inside. If it weren't for this, Hu Xun's position would definitely be more than just a Minister of Justice."
"Isn't this the difference between the Jing family and the Hu family?"
Xiao Qi said this, tapping the table with his fingertips.
"Hu Xun's personality meant she wouldn't attack innocent people behind their backs, and Hu Tianhao was even more of a threat. Years ago, he listened to rumors and became disgusted with the Crown Princess. Ultimately, the Crown Princess reached an agreement with the Hu family."
"What agreement?"
Xiao Qi and Prime Minister Xiao had agreed on this matter a long time ago, and she did not ask about it when she talked about it with Jing Mu and Hu Tianhao.
However, the situation is becoming increasingly complicated. So many people have intervened, and the environment for making rules has been destroyed. Naturally, the rules have to be re-made.
"The Hu family will always stand behind the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess is not allowed to ask for Hu Tianhao as her husband."
Although Hu Tianhao doesn't seem to think so now, the Hu family did make an agreement with the Crown Princess in the past, and from what Hu Tianhao said, there was also a written agreement.
So in other words, the position of the Crown Princess's main staff is still vacant.
A dark light flashed across Prime Minister Xiao's eyes, and he lowered his eyes in thought.
