After returning to the palace, Qing Wu carried the food box and rushed back to Iris Courtyard to eat alone.
Xiao Chenyan also walked into the study with a sullen face. Both of them said nothing and looked disgusted with each other.
This made everyone else feel nervous.
After a while, eight black-armored guards led by Li Sui appeared outside the study and took horse stance in the courtyard, each holding a bowl of water on their arm.
If the water spills, add another hour.
Situ Jing stroked his chin and watched the show from the side: "Did you have a fight in the Duke Ding's Mansion? I looked at the prince's face, and his expression was very gloomy."
He said with a bitter face: "We didn't do anything, we just beat up Xie Xian. The prince clearly told us to throw him into the well in the end."
I will punish them when they come back!
Situ Jing hissed, regretting that he didn't follow Xiao today.
"Is Xie Xian foul-mouthed again? But it's not like the prince to beat that guy up in the Duke Dingguo's mansion. After all, he would sell the Duke a little face."
The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Have you forgotten the old lady in our house?"
Situ Jing suddenly realized, but felt that Xiao Chenyan's temper today was a little strange. He walked towards the study, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Chenyan throwing a piece of paper into the brazier.
"What is the prince burning?"
“Waste paper.”
Situ Jing glanced subconsciously, but met Xiao Chenyan's warning eyes. He immediately laughed dryly and pretended to be serious:
"Your Majesty, now that we have given the present things to Xie Shu, what should we do next?"
"Wait for the wind to pick up."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were filled with dark ups and downs: "The water in the pond in Kyoto is going to be in turmoil."
He raised his hand and messed up the two black chess pieces on the chessboard. His eyes fell on the pot of ginseng on the desk, and he suddenly felt it was an eyesore.
"Take that basin of ginseng away."
"Where is Duan?"
"what ever."
Situ Jing was delighted that there was such a good girl!
"Hehe, then I will take it down first. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of it for you."
Situ Jing hurriedly picked up the basin, fearing that Xiao Chenyan would change his mind, and left immediately.
After leaving the study, he was still very happy.
"This is a big treasure..."
"I've never raised a spirit ginseng before. If I kill it, it will go blind. Why don't we ask the princess?"
When in doubt, just ask the princess, it’s always a good idea!
Situ Jing felt that he was very clever, so he held the basin and ran to find Qing Wuxuan.
Over at Iris Courtyard, Qing Wu ate half a plate of snacks and brought them back, and her mood became much happier.
The only way to relieve worries is to eat delicious food.
She couldn't eat a single bite of the big pot meal in Prince Yan's mansion.
"Princess, what should we do with that charlatan and the little fox?" Luqiao poured her tea and handed it to her.
"Lock him up first and let him starve for a night."
Hong Rui was curious: "They were swindlers and almost killed Xie Ling. The princess took them from the Duke and spared their lives. Could it be that they are still useful?"
Qing Wu glanced at her with a smile: "Our Xiaohong is so smart."
Hongrui was praised and felt a little happy. Luqiao pouted: "Princess, what about me?"
Qing Wu poked the silly girl: "It's not obvious that you are smart."
Luqiao scratched his head: "Am I smart or not?"
Hong Rui teased: "Smart, but not obvious~"
"Okay, Sister Hong, you tease me too."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Qing Wu looked up and saw that it was Mu Ying coming, so she quickly invited him in.
"I heard that the princess had returned and had not had lunch yet, so I made some food and sent it over." Mu Ying said a little embarrassedly.
Qing Wu's eyes lit up.
My cousin's cooking skills are beyond reproach! She has been a ghost for many years, and she still craves this when she peels ghost skins!
"It's just right that Madam Mu is here. I've had enough of the food in this mansion."
Mu Ying smiled. Even though she had only been in the palace for a few days, she found the food there...was really hard to swallow.
She was a careful person by nature, so she naturally noticed the painful mask that Qing Wu wore when she ate every day.
Mu Ying prepared some of her specialty dishes. She wanted to repay Qing Wuzi, but now she had nothing to repay her, so she could only do these small things.
"Mrs. Mu also made buns? This one is round and plump, and looks delicious."
"Yes, everyone in my family used to like eating pasta, but I don't know if it suits the princess' taste."
"Hehehe."
God knows how long Qingwu has been craving this.
She picked up the bun and took a big bite, squinting her eyes to show enjoyment.
Hongrui and Luqiao looked at the stuffing and found some differences. It was not the common pork buns on the market, but diced bacon, green beans, vermicelli and a little soybeans, fried and then wrapped into buns.
The two women couldn't figure out what it smelled like.
But then I heard Qing Wuyu: "Bring me some candy."
"Princess, do you want to add sugar to this?"
"Hmm~"
Luqiao smacked his lips, wondering what kind of way to eat it was.
No one noticed that Mu Ying clenched his hands in his sleeves a little.
She stared at Qing Wu blankly, and when Lu Qiao brought the candy, she asked her in confusion, "What happened to Madam Mu?"
Mu Ying came back to her senses and saw Qing Wu sprinkle a spoonful of sugar on the filling and took a big bite. She forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I just watched the way the princess ate it and thought of an old friend."
Qing Wu paused while chewing the bun and glanced at the sugar jar.
Oh no.
If you are not careful, the secret will be revealed.
Lu Qiao was puzzled: "Old friend? Does anyone else like to eat like this?"
Mu Ying hummed vaguely and glanced at Qing Wu again. Seeing that she looked normal, he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
I really do let my imagination run wild.
I was just eating a bun, why did you associate it with my cousin?
After eating three more buns, Qing Wu really couldn't hold on any longer.
She held her stomach and prepared to take a walk to digest the food. As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw Situ Jing holding a basin, with a very happy look on his face.
Qing Wu fixed her eyes on the basin in his hand and raised her eyebrows: "How did this basin of ginseng end up in your hands?"
"The prince gave it to me." Situ Jing's face was full of joy.
"Give it to you?"
"Yes...ah..." Situ Jing realized belatedly that he had come to the wrong place.
"Very good." Qing Wu smiled brightly and gritted her teeth: "Xiao Chenyan, very good."
Situ Jing: “…”
It's over.
