Chapter 87: My Cousin's Second Temptation 1
Qian Shiya looked at Du Zhixuan with a light smile as if she didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the room.
"Cousin Xuan, don't you like to eat mung bean cake the most, but don't you think the cook in the house can't make that kind of taste? Some time ago, Miss Xiangfu held a banquet, and I happened to taste several delicious pastries, among them, this mung bean cake. So, after the banquet, I copied the recipe, and after returning home, I tried it myself several times, and finally I came up with that taste. β
"Early in the morning, before dawn, I went to the small kitchen and made a big pot of mung bean cake by myself." Qian Shiya picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Du Zhixuan's mouth, seeing Du Zhixuan's slightly narrowed phoenix eyes widening wider and wider, and her face slowly revealing a salivating look, she was very proud, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face.
"You taste it first, if you like the taste, I'll ask Triv to bring you all the rest of the mung bean cake later."
"Thank you, cousin." Du Zhixuan opened her mouth, took a small bite on Qian Shiya's fingers, covered her lips with her sleeve, and spit out the pastry on the handkerchief wrapped in her sleeve, then looked up at the pastries that had bought the entire table, and then looked at Qian Shiya, who was looking at her with a look of expectation and hope, and her palm-sized face was full of distress.
Du Zhixuan grabbed her hair, touched her little belly, turned sideways slightly, and avoided the mung bean cake that Qian Shiya handed to her mouth again: "Cousin, these pastries look particularly appetizing, but yesterday, I ate too much, and now my stomach is still full!" β
If it was in the past, no matter how secretive Du Zhixuan's small actions were, they would still be noticed by Qian Shiya, who was accustomed to observing the surrounding situation.
However, right now, because what happened yesterday was beyond Qian Shiya's expectations, she failed to notice this, and looked at Du Zhixuan with a hurt face: "Cousin Xuan, don't you like me to come to quarrel with you so early?" Or do you not like the people I teach you to teach?! β
"It's just, Cousin Xuan. A long time ago, I told you that this person has to be beaten when it is time to beat. Otherwise, they will climb on your head and do a good job. β
Speaking of this, Qian Shiya deliberately turned her head, glared at Mama Mu, Mama Li and the others fiercely, and said in a casual tone: "No matter how old and senior the subordinates are. It's not as good as you, the master. In many cases, we can't just give candy, but after giving candy appropriately, we can hit it hard! β
"Cousin, you're thinking too much." Du Zhixuan looked at Mama Mu and the others with an apologetic expression, "During this time, several Mama have given me a lot of help. So to speak, if it weren't for them, then. I wouldn't be where I am today. β
β¦β¦ What do you mean?
Qian Shiya lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the surprise in her eyes.
Just now, at that moment, for some reason, Qian Shiya's heart had a not very good premonition.
However, even though Qian Shiya had many thoughts in her heart, the expression on her face did not change at all, as if the person who was mercilessly refuted by Du Zhixuan just now was not herself.
"Well, maybe. It's true that I'm thinking too much. Qian Shiya's gaze swept over the table of refreshments as if unintentionally, and she didn't feel much regret in her heart.
This is just a small temptation of hers.
And, for now. This temptation did try out some things - for example, among the two nurturing grandmothers that grandmother asked the queen mother to give, the Yun grandmother who is said to have instructed the princess etiquette, although she is not proficient in the way of mutual restraint of ingredients, she also knows a little!
But. So what?
In short, Du Zhixuan developed the habit of cold food in Yongcheng Houfu, and has been eating since she was four years old. Ten years have passed, even if Du Zhixuan senses that something is wrong and starts to recuperate her body, it is too late.
"It's just, Cousin Xuan, I think that when you have time, you should talk to your grandmother about what happened during this time. Perhaps many things do not seem strange to us, but in the eyes of a shrewd person like my grandmother, we will definitely find some clues, and even more so say a thing or two. β
"Hmm." Du Zhixuan nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, cousin." When the time comes, I will definitely invite you to listen to my grandmother's teachings. β
Qian Shiya didn't say anything, although she didn't take it seriously in her heart, and she didn't think that the teachings of the county lord of Anping were of any use.
However, on the surface, she is still the eldest daughter of the second room of the General's Mansion who has just turned fifteen.
Therefore, it should not be said that a shrewd woman like the county lord of Anping, who has lived in the palace for an unknown number of years, has the kind of ease in dealing with many unexpected things, and the kind of skill and scheming that still calmly copes with even if she encounters great difficulties and hardships.
"Cousin Xuan, don't talk patronizingly, these things are what you like to eat, you can taste a little bit of everything."
"But, I really can't eat, my stomach is so full!" Du Zhixuan's face was depressed, she tilted her head slightly, looked at the refreshments on the table with a reluctant face, and said with a casual attitude: "Cousin, I waited for you for two hours in Zhenbaozhai yesterday, but I still couldn't wait for you. Where have you been, why don't you sue me? β
"What else do you say?" Qian Shiya tapped Du Zhixuan's forehead and said with a look of disgust: "I know that the prince of Wuhou is a man who is both civil and military, and stands up to the sky and the earth in your mind. Suddenly found that he would fall down the stairs and fall far into the street, and be seen by everyone for a while, it was inevitable that he couldn't accept it for a while. β
"It's just that, no matter what, he's also your fiancΓ©. So please Yu Li, you should immediately run over and help him go home......"
Yesterday, she personally helped Wuhou Wang Shizi back to his house, and deliberately waited until he came to his senses, and saw with her own eyes that she took care of him, which was in stark contrast to Du Zhixuan's disregard after her hopes were dashed.
Presumably, as long as you are a person with real brains, you will understand who should be chosen between her and Du Zhixuan?
Qian Shiya lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes covered the ridicule and mockery in her eyes, but her heart was full of excitement and excitement that the beautiful scenery of her dreams was about to come true.
"Huh?!" Du Zhixuan's action of rubbing her eyes paused, and she couldn't hide her surprise and said, "Cousin, didn't you tell me before, 'There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky'?" Therefore, I have never thought that there are truly perfect people in this world, even the brother of the prince who is praised by everyone. And ......" (To be continued.) )
