Chapter 328: Chinese New Year is Especially Sweet
"Isn't it? So, Xiao Yanjing is not a good match."
Old Master Fu said, "I've been watching Zhao Ning recently, and I've come to a clearer understanding. She is very opinionated now, and she's not stupid. She can judge people and things more accurately than an old man like me, and she's also capable. Doesn't Prince Jun have a purpose for her? But, they've been married for half a year, and I don't think Zhao Ning has ever felt bad."
He also found it incredible when he talked about it.
But that's the way it is.
When Fu Zhaoning chased after Xiao Yanjing in the past, she looked gloomy, uneasy, humble and afraid. So what even if Xiao Yanjing had no grudge against her?
As for being with Prince Jun, even though there might still be something between them that happened in the past, Zhao Ning is in a good state now.
"As long as she knows what's going on, I believe she will be able to handle any problems she encounters in the future." Old Master Fu said, "If Prince Jun only had hatred in his eyes and heart, Zhao Ning would not be like this now."
Xie poured him a cup of tea and sighed.
"Old Master, how can we say that you are a wise man?"
Zhao Ning may have always thought that the old man wanted her to separate from Prince Jun immediately, but in fact the old man had been observing her.
"What's so wise or not? I don't have any other thoughts in this life. I just hope Zhaoning can live a happy life."
Xiao Lanyuan was sitting in the study with the window open. It was white outside. A red plum blossom was blooming in the corner, adding some color to the snow-white courtyard.
But for some reason, he still felt extremely lonely.
He walked out, and Qingyi saw him and quickly went to get him a cloak, "Your Majesty, it's cold outside."
"No problem."
Xiao Lanyuan waved his hand.
"Does Your Majesty want to cut plum branches and put them in a vase?"
"Do you think I have so much leisure time?" Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
"There are no plum trees in Jianjia Courtyard. If Your Majesty cuts a few branches and puts them in a vase for the princess, I'm sure she will like it."
Xiao Lanyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hanmei and smiled softly.
"She is at the Fu family."
She won't come over.
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, so she will stay at her parents' home. No, that can't be said. Fu Zhaoning doesn't regard this place as her husband's home, so what about her parents' home?
In her heart, the Fu family is the only family.
"Well, Your Majesty," Qing Yi thought for a moment and then suggested weakly, "After all, you are a junior. Have you ever thought about going to the Fu family to wish Old Master Fu a happy new year?"
Um?
Xiao Lanyuan was actually moved for a moment.
It seemed like he should go? After all, he was the grandson-in-law. But the wind blew, blowing the snow off the plum branches, and he suddenly came to his senses.
"I'm afraid that Old Master Fu doesn't want to see me at all. It's New Year's Day. If I go there and make him angry, your princess will skin me alive."
"It seems so." Qing Yi sighed.
It seems that there is really no other way, and the prince can only spend the New Year alone.
Qing Yi wanted to comfort him, "But Your Majesty, you should get used to it. We have been accompanying you to celebrate the New Year for so many years."
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
"Do you want me to thank you?"
“No, no.”
Xiao Lanyuan was in a bad mood and suddenly sneezed.
At this moment, Fu Zhaoning's voice came over, "It's so cold outside, why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"Zhaoning?" Xiao Lanyuan turned around suddenly and saw Fu Zhaoning walking in briskly.
She was wearing a new dress with a white background and red edges, a red coral hairpin and a few pearl flowers in her hair, and a food box in her hand. She was bright and radiant, and as soon as she came in, she seemed to bring joy and vitality.
"I learned to make New Year's cake from Aunt Xie. Would you like to try it?"
When Fu Zhaoning saw Xiao Lanyuan's eyes suddenly brightened, his heart skipped a beat and he felt an indescribable joy.
She raised the food box in her hand.
"You made this yourself?"
"Yes. Maybe this kind of rice cake is only made during the New Year in the folks' festival. You royal family doesn't have it, right?"
"The palace sent over some lucky cakes of various kinds, but I can't eat them all. Let me try what you made." Xiao Lanyuan immediately walked over and reached out to take the food box from Fu Zhaoning's hand.
His hand touched hers.
Fu Zhaoning immediately handed the food box to Qing Yi and grabbed Xiao Lanyuan with his other hand.
Qing Yi was very tactful and quickly took the food box.
"Your hands are so cold, and you are still standing outside in the cold wind? Prince Jun, do you think you are very strong?" Fu Zhaoning rolled his eyes at him.
His hands are really cold!
She didn't stop talking and dragged him into the house.
Xiao Lanyuan let her pull him without saying a word in rebuttal.
"Princess, the New Year's cake is still hot." Qing Yi had already taken out the contents of the food box.
Fu Zhaoning placed red-hot charcoal in an iron box on the lower level and put food on the upper level so that it would still be hot when brought over.
When he opened the food box and showed it to them, Qingyi was instantly delighted.
"That's a good idea."
He hurried out to call Hong Zhuofenxing to come and serve him, and also to give the prince and princess some time alone.
The princess actually came back, the prince must be so happy.
"Come here, I'll give you a few injections." Fu Zhaoning ordered Xiao Lanyuan impolitely.
Before Xiao Lanyuan leaned back on the couch, he reached out and took a New Year's cake. "You give me the acupuncture, and I'll eat it, okay?"
"Are you that hungry? Or are you that greedy?"
Fu Zhaoning was not happy.
"You should eat things you made yourself while they're still hot. I haven't eaten anything today."
The dessert in my hand has a semi-transparent skin in the shape of a small peach. When I take a bite, I find it is filled with taro paste and is extremely sweet.
The filling was still warm and surprisingly delicious.
Fu Zhaoning had already started giving him an acupuncture injection. Seeing that he was eating seriously, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"
“Mm, it’s delicious.”
"I modified this taro paste filling. Aunt Xie used to make red bean, mung bean, and red date fillings."
"The taro paste filling is delicious." Xiao Lanyuan said immediately.
"Puchi." Fu Zhaoning burst out laughing, "You haven't tried the other fillings, how do you know that the taro paste filling is delicious?"
"Because it was you who improved the filling and you made it yourself." Xiao Lanyuan finished eating one and reached out for the second one.
A smile flashed in Fu Zhaoning's eyes, "During the New Year, Prince Jun seems to be particularly sweet?"
Xiao Lanyuan paused for a moment, then hooked his finger at her, "Ningning, come closer."
"What's wrong?"
Fu Zhaoning moved closer, thinking there was something wrong with the New Year's cake she was holding.
Xiao Lanyuan's lips pressed forward.
After thinking for a long time, finally...
Fu Zhaoning's mind went blank after being kissed by him. When she regained consciousness, she quickly closed her mouth to stop him from sweeping away her breath again.
She panted slightly, "You still have needles stuck in your body!"
Don’t want to live?
"I thought you wanted to taste if my mouth is particularly sweet." Xiao Lanyuan rested his forehead against her and held the back of her head with one hand, preventing her from moving away.
“Stop it!”
"How about giving the acupuncture later?" Xiao Lanyuan's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
