Chapter 32 Sweets
The pavilion was very spacious. Zhao Huaixiang and Zhao Yuanye sat down, and the others stood aside.
Only now did Shen Jiasui dare to raise his eyes and calmly looked at the royal family in front of him.
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and the little grandson are indeed uncle and nephew, as their eyebrows and eyes are quite similar.
Zhao Huaixiang raised his hand and took the handkerchief from the young eunuch. He wiped Zhao Yuanye's sweat very skillfully, and reminded him:
"It's okay to indulge yourself now, but when you go to the front later, don't forget your dignity."
Zhao Yuanye was still young, and he felt very uncomfortable in the palace. His eyes rolled around and he nodded vaguely.
"Well, Ye'er just listen to Third Uncle."
When Zhao Huaixiang heard these perfunctory words, he just shook his head lovingly without saying anything more.
Instead, Zhao Yuanye leaned into his arms and said coquettishly, "Uncle San, Ye'er is a little hungry."
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch at the side immediately brought the food box over.
Apart from the food at regular banquets, the royal family would not eat anything else at will, and the little grandson of the emperor was still young, so he had to be more careful.
The young eunuch opened the food box, revealing exquisite pastries of various kinds, neatly stacked inside, which showed that they had been guarded extremely carefully along the way.
Another eunuch came forward and washed Zhao Yuanye's hands carefully.
“Eat this.”
Zhao Yuanye reached out his hand, took out a piece from the food box, put it in his mouth and took a bite. His round eyes became brighter.
"Uncle San, this tastes good. Ye'er likes it, and Uncle San wants to eat it too!"
As Zhao Yuanye spoke, he handed the pastry directly to Zhao Huaixiang's mouth.
Zhao Huaixiang couldn't bear to disappoint Zhao Yuanye, so he took the pastry with a smile and ate it in front of him.
Zhao Yuanye smiled so hard that his eyes curved. He turned his head to look at Jiang Xun behind him, then shook his head.
"As I remember, you don't like sweet food. Does Mr. Shen like it?"
Shen Jiaheng waved his hand subconsciously.
He loved sweets when he was a child and was very naughty at that time. He secretly hid a lot of sweets in his room and ate them all in one breath. As a result, he had toothache for half the night.
His sister called the family doctor, who gave him a severe scare. After that, he no longer liked to eat sweets.
Zhao Yuanye couldn't hide his disappointment when he saw this, and he looked at Shen Jiasui again.
"Where's Sister Shen?"
Shen Jiasui didn't expect that the little grandson looked so innocent and lively, which was very different from what she had imagined. It was obvious that he had been very well protected over the years.
Shen Jiaheng had already refused, so Shen Jiasui naturally didn't want to spoil the little emperor's grandson's fun, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your servant would like to try it."
Zhao Yuanye was very happy when he heard this and personally handed a piece to Shen Jiasui.
After this round of questioning, Zhao Yuanye had already eaten two pieces by himself, and Zhao Huaixiang quickly signaled to the eunuch to take the food box away.
Zhao Yuanye was still not satisfied, and suddenly pulled Zhao Huaixiang's sleeve, smiling and said: "Uncle, this cake is delicious, I want to send it to my mother, my mother loves sweet food the most!"
The child really said that wind is rain, and as soon as the thought came to his mind, he would leave immediately.
Seeing this, Zhao Huaixiang had no choice but to follow, and Jiang Xun also stepped out.
Shen Jiaheng hesitated for a moment. Shen Jiasui stood up after paying his respects and immediately gave him a light push.
"Brother Heng, follow me."
She was just worried that Ning Fengzhi and the others would not dare to come because Prince Xiang and the emperor's grandson were here. It was just right that they left now.
But brother Heng absolutely cannot be allowed to stay. Firstly, he is a foreigner, and secondly... given how protective he is of his sister, I am really worried that he will get mad.
It goes without saying that Princess Huaizhen will not be kind to her until the misunderstanding is resolved.
Shen Jiaheng naturally obeyed. He nodded when he heard it and followed Jiang Xun closely.
I don't know what he was saying to Jiang Xun when he looked up, but he just hummed indifferently, which made his eyes light up and his face look very happy.
Shen Jiasui suddenly reacted at this time.
It must be because I talked about my past life with Brother Heng last night and mentioned Jiang Xun's kindness, so he followed Jiang Xun eagerly today.
After returning home today, I have to talk to Brother Heng carefully and ask him to be more restrained.
It’s okay for other people, but we must not let Lu Yunzheng notice anything.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui sat back and couldn't wait to pour a glass of water from the stone table.
In fact, she doesn't like sweet food either. She always feels sticky in her mouth after eating...
Today the Prince's Palace is hosting a banquet, and there are royal relatives, dignitaries and other guests everywhere. Therefore, fruits, tea and other drinks are placed in pavilions and terraces everywhere, and special personnel have been arranged to replace them in a timely manner.
Even if Princess Huaizhen wanted to deal with her, she would definitely be "on high alert" in the west courtyard. The pavilion here was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of hers, so there was no need to worry.
As Shen Jiasui thought about this, his mind began to wander. He decided that no matter where he went in the future, he would carry with him a letter that Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi had privately exchanged.
If anyone talks nonsense, throw the letter in their face.
Thinking of that scene, Shen Jiasui couldn't help laughing.
————
At the same time, there is Zhenxia Pavilion adjacent to the West Courtyard.
Ning Fengzhi hurried into the attic, already shouting, "Sister Gu? Is Sister Gu here?"
"Ah, yes, Sister Fengzhi, I'm here."
Gu Xizhi's slightly hasty response came from the attic.
Ning Fengzhi lifted her skirt and immediately went up to the attic, but she didn't expect that it was her brother who came out to greet her.
"Brother? Why are you here too?"
Ning Fengzhi was still thinking about Shen Jiasui and didn't think too much about it, but just asked casually.
Ning Fengyu looked calm and said with a smile: "Didn't you promise Yun Zheng to take good care of Miss Gu? I came to check on you, but I didn't expect you weren't here."
Ning Fengzhi took her brother's arm, pouted her lips and complained bitterly.
"Brother, you don't know, I just went to see Shen Jiasui, I have never seen such a shameless person!"
As soon as the brother and sister entered the reception room, Gu Xizhi had already stood up to greet them.
She was wearing a light pink silk dress today, with a light gauze over it. When she walked, the light gauze fluttered, making her as light as a cloud, which really set off her.
I don’t know if it’s a little stuffy in the attic, but there’s a faint blush on her cheeks and her ears are slightly red.
Ning Fengzhi walked in a hurry and didn't notice Gu Xizhi's abnormality at all. Instead, Gu Xizhi's eyes were wandering and she glanced at Ning Fengyu casually.
Ning Fengyu looked calm and composed, and sat aside.
At this time, Ning Fengzhi had already grasped Gu Xizhi's hand and said indignantly:
"Sister Gu, I finally understand how miserable you were in the past! Shen Jiasui is so shameless that he wants to confront you face to face."
"Since she won't cry until she sees the coffin, we might as well ask the princess to bring all the young ladies to see her, so that everyone in the capital can see her true face!"
Gu Xizhi's eyes flickered when she heard this, but she frowned slightly, pretending to be tolerant and said in a gentle voice:
"Sister Fengzhi, forget it. Even if Shen Jiasui is unkind and unjust, my godfather and godmother have raised me after all."
"Give her some face this time. Since everyone already knows her true identity, I'll save her some face. This will be considered as fulfilling the friendship between me and my godfather and godmother."
Gu Xizhi spoke in a high-sounding manner, and she thought that Ning Fengzhi would praise her for her magnanimity and tolerance and stand up for her as she had done before.
Unexpectedly, this time, after listening to it, Ning Fengzhi suddenly froze in place.
