"Ah, the flowers are blooming."

Putting down my hand rubbing my sleepy eyes, I looked at the blossoming trees by the clearing where I was practicing, and I hadn't noticed it when I came yesterday.

Reaching out to pick up a piece of falling peach petals, I felt the slightly cool temperature in my palm and suddenly realized that March is the most beautiful time for peach blossoms.

I shook my hand and sat down on the tree pole, the smell of early spring had not yet faded from the cold of winter, and the shallow mist mixed with the smoky aroma made people drowsy.

Sitting with my hands on my knees, I tilted my head to the side and pillowed my knees, looking at the reason why I had to run here early in the morning, and said lazily, "Your Royal Highness, please be careful not to let the wound 'crack again' Oh, if you crack it again this time, it will really leave a scar." ”

Hongba's brisk voice came quickly, as if he hadn't thought about it, "If you leave a little scar, I'll kill you~"

No, it was probably something he didn't need to think about at all.

Brushing the strands of hair that hung down, I sighed, and I couldn't help him, "Even if you say that, I can't help it, I warned you when the wound opened last time." ”

"Who cares about you~"

I was on the verge of falling asleep when he said it for granted, and I didn't expect him to do what I said. I want to go back to sleep!

I looked up and met a pair of bright red eyes, the original sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and I thought about it to make sure there was no such person in my memory, "Who are you?" ”

"Isn't this time to scream or be scared away?" The black-haired, red-eyed boy turned his fingertips around a short silver staff studded with diamond rubies, and turned them a few times, and the bright red gems were aimed at me. I could clearly feel the rufu that was active around him, and the viscous feeling was about to materialize.

That kind of strange power is not at all a height that people can reach in their lifetime of cultivation.

More precisely, it is more powerful than it can be cultivated.

"The emotion of 'frightening' is to appear without the person in question." I explained with a blank face, "I'm not slow enough to feel the intense temptation you're holding. ”

The comers are not good.

"I've seen the magic you used to heal Ruby." When I first arrived, the powerful feeling of oppression receded like a tide, and the boy reclined on the branches of the peach tree, and looked at me with a sense of relief, "But it's really disappointing." ”

That's a nasty thing! A crossroads popped up on my forehead, and I said who are you this little brother!! Do I know you!!!

"Your Highness! Let go! ”

I drank without warning, and as soon as Hongba's hand loosened, the knife that lost control smashed straight at me. There was a seer who dodged the knife that flew over and swirled, and I watched the twisted boy who jumped out of the flowers while the tree was cut down, and secretly pouted, cut ~

"What are you doing!!" The fried red bully looked at me angrily.

I raised my chin and nodded his arm, "Hand, the wound is about to crack." ”

"That ······" What else did he have to say, but his attention was diverted by another person who was 'born out of nowhere', "Isn't this the Huang Empire's priest Little Jodhar~~"

I was about to stand up and slap my feet sore, oops, the sitting position just now was so bad, my feet were numb. I screamed badly, and sat down on my knees.

"You can't give me such a big gift, chief doctor~ right?" Black Twist said hello to Hongba, and there was indescribable sarcasm in her bright red pupils.

My face was half blackened.

"Don't look at it, everyone is gone." Hongba pulled at my hair with his intact hand, causing my scalp to hurt for a while.

You're enough! Stop pulling my hair! I weakly pulled down my face and slapped his hand away, "It hurts, Third Highness!" Pull your own! ”

"Don't want to, it hurts to pull your own." The implication is that you don't hurt me, right?!

I was even more powerless, too lazy to dwell on this matter anymore, "Please stretch out your right hand." ”

I checked the wound and it was fine, it didn't split. However, the amount of exercise today has also reached the upper limit of the arm. Looks like that's the end for today.

"Little Peony, let's go somewhere with me in a week." Hongba moved his recovered arms and looked into the unknown distance, his slightly raised crimson eyes revealing shallow thought.

"yes, got it." Without thinking about it, I quickly responded.

Perhaps my answer was too simple, Hongba withdrew his gaze and fell on me, "You don't ask where to go." ”

"Does that matter?" I looked at him for some reason, and after thinking about it, I apologized seriously, "I'm sorry, Third Highness, I didn't think it through." ”

“= =？”

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

“······” He squinted his eyes as if he was a little weak, and he looked a little irritable for no reason, and finally thought about it and said, "Hmm... No. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left. I rubbed my feet speechlessly, what is going on with this guy.

After standing up and stomping my feet, making sure that I was okay, my attention fell to the half of the peach tree that had been cut off, the pink petals were shaken off a lot, but most of them were still blooming on the branches.

With some regret, I grabbed my hair, called a Gong E who walked by, and helped pick all the flowers.

>>>>

"Uh... That's what it should look like······ There should be nothing wrong with this time! I took out the freshly baked peach blossom cake and turned around, "Huh? What about people? ”

Only the fourth prince with a face and hands raised was left in the huge dining room to practice the white dragon.

"That、、Miss Peony... It's already delicious······" Please don't do it any more, even if it's a very tasty thing, you'll want to vomit if you keep eating it. Miss Peony, how entangled you are with that taste!

"Ah, is it?" I put down the plate and wanted to say that I finally made the taste of my memory, "So how is the practice of Lord Bailong?" ”

I was looking at the flowers of a tree and it was a pity that they withered so much, I remembered the peach blossom cake that the teacher had made before, and I thought about trying it, but I didn't expect to meet the white dragon who was being ordered by His Royal Highness Bai Ying to come over to practice cooking.

In the end, after countless failures and wasting almost all of my peach petals, I finally did what I wanted. But the people who tried it also ran out = =.

"Yes. Thanks to Miss Peony's guidance. He thanked me politely.

"Lord Bailong's words are serious." What a polite good boy, I unconsciously thought of my own highness, and it is estimated that it is more difficult to say thank you than to ascend to the sky, but that is to practice Hongba~

"So, let's take my leave." The white dragon walked away with his finished product.

I watched him leave, and I had no idea what to do with my finished product. I touched my stomach and even if I only tasted one bite at a time, it was enough, but I didn't want to waste it. It's a hassle.

"Ah, Lord Hongming, Third Highness." As soon as I walked into Hongba's subordinate courtyard, I saw Hongming Hongba and a few civil officials coming from the front, it seemed that the discussion had just ended, and I bowed my head and saluted.

"Ah, it's a peony." Hongming nodded, although his hair was neatly groomed, his clothes were still loose, "No need to be polite." ”

Hong Ming turned his head and said something to Hongba again, and left with a few civil officials.

"You did it?" Hongba looked at the plate in my hand, the white pastry was sprinkled with a little extra peach petals, and the crystal white lined with pink petals was beautiful.

"Would you like to try it?" I picked up a piece and held it out to him, just as no one was helping me to eat.

Hongba bites down, the sweet pastry is soft and suitable, there is no greasy taste of ordinary pastries at all, and after biting into it, there is a shallow peach blossom fragrance, as if it is mixed with the coolness of the first opening, refreshing and delicious.

"How?" I looked at him expectantly.

"It's sweet."

"How is that possible! I didn't put a lot of sugar in it! I took my hand back and took a bite myself, "It's not sweet!" ”

“······” Hongba glanced at me, puffed out his face and squinted and pulled away the entire plate at once, "Are you an idiot?" ”

"You're ······ in vain" Looking at his floating eyes, he swallowed the word idiot. I flicked my sleeves and resolutely returned to the medicine garden. Enough is enough, I'm afraid I'll really do something "rebellious" if I stay any longer.

After returning to the medicine garden, I also calmed down, and it was really irrational to throw my sleeves and leave or something! Forget it, every time I run into him, my sanity is irrational.

Thinking about it this way, I was a little self-defeating. To be honest, I hate this feeling of being controlled by others, but the object of being controlled by people is Lian Hongba, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal. The existence of this contradiction ...

There are many other things besides mere loyalty ...

I grabbed a book in my hand, and when I arrived, I remembered the black twist flower I encountered today. Hongba said that he was the priest of the Huang Empire, so is he the "magi" of the Huang Empire? The legendary person who was favored by rufu, then it's no wonder that he has such a strong power.

The sharp sound of breaking the air came, my pupils shrank, and my body's conditioned reflex took a step to dodge, and an ice pick brushed my cheek dangerously, and a few wisps of smoke blue broke in front of me. I looked up and followed the trail to the roof, facing the window.

The black-haired boy played with his cane and smiled playfully, "Oh, it's a shame you can dodge it." ”

He stepped from the roof into the garden in one step, and took two steps as if he suddenly realized, "Yes, should these things be..." Immediately, he reached out and grabbed it, and countless magic forms that surrounded the garden were faintly floating in the air under the injection of his magic power.

He looked at me with an interesting smile, and his eyes were bright red, "Huh~~You're more interesting than I thought~"

"Priest, Your Excellency?"
