After Qi Xin left the Chuyu Palace, he did not return to Weiyang Palace, but returned to the small pavilion in the garden. Man'er put the pastries he had taken from Guixiang back on the table, and sat down and looked at the pastries with a smile.
"Mother."
Man'er was a little worried, standing aside and not knowing what to say.
Qi Xin shook his head, smiled and picked up the pastries on the table, as if muttering to himself and as if to say to Man'er,
"The pastries made by this green meal are very suitable for the taste of this palace."
"But, didn't the lady say that this pastry tastes wrong?"
Qi Xin smiled, but suddenly stopped again, and after a long time, he said slowly,
"The taste of this pastry is different from what ordinary people buy in Qingguo, it is too sweet. However, I am very familiar with this taste, because I grew up eating pastries with this taste. This kind of cake was originally made from the flowers of an ordinary plant that grows in Qingguo, but I like to eat it, and I have replaced this flower with a fruit that I like. ”
When the sky was dark, Man'er had already seen Qi Xin's eyes too clearly, but he felt that Qi Xin was serious. Now Qi Xinzheng looked coldly at the pastry in his hand, looked at the food box brought from Qingshangshan, and his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about who would deliver this thing to her.
First of all, not many people know how to make this kind of pastry. Again. The person who will put these two sentences on the food box must be the person who knows how to nourish the heart. Could it be that he used the secret letter sent by Uncle Qingshui to go to Qingguo before?
"So. Who could it be? ”
As he spoke, he expressed his doubts.
"Who is the mother?"
Man'er stepped forward and asked.
Qi Xin realized that he had said the doubts in his heart, and quickly looked at Man'er and smiled,
"It's nothing, Hongu is just guessing, who would make this kind of pastry, but it is very suitable for Honguya's taste."
Man'er looked at Qixin's little face and felt a lot more soothed, thinking that it was because of this pastry that Qixin was so happy. So he smiled and said,
"If Niangniang likes it, just ask Concubine Duanniang to ask someone to buy some more. Otherwise, we can ask someone to buy it ourselves. The green food in the city should also be easy to find. Also, Man'er can also go to learn how to make pastries from the chef who eats with Qing, and make them for the mother to eat in the future. ”
Qi Xin didn't eat the pastries in the end. stood up and went back to Weiyang Palace with Man'er. Before going to bed. I went to my bedroom alone, looked at the seventh princess who was sleeping with a frown, and gently held her head,
"I asked you to accompany the palace to the Jade Palace today, did you smell anything?"
Standing by the bed and waiting for a little maid sent by Qi Xin to serve her to the Seventh Princess, when Qi Xin went to the Jade Palace, he deliberately handed over such a little maid. The little maid nodded lightly and looked at her in unison. Smiled softly. Sure enough, at that time, when choosing a palace maid, I was particularly concerned about the fragrance on my body. At first, it was just a casual finger, and I didn't think it would be of such use at this time.
"What is the smell, is it familiar to you?"
The little palace maid thought about it carefully, and bowed lightly before replying,
"Back to the queen's words, the slave maid felt that the fragrance on Concubine Duan's body seemed to be similar to the fragrance on Concubine Shu's body."
"The scent of the lady?"
"Well, yes, it's the kind of spice that the lady usually uses. It is very similar, and even the Chuyu Palace of Concubine Duan has this faint taste. ”
Qi Xin smiled lightly after listening to the little palace maid's words, turned around, and looked at the little palace maid carefully. The little palace maid didn't know what she had said wrong, but she was looked at by her heart like this, and she still felt hairy in her heart.
"Duanfei Niangniang may not know that Shufei Niangniang uses the same spices, it shouldn't be intentional. So, don't tell Concubine Shu about this, Concubine Shu shouldn't mean it. ”
The little palace maid nodded again and again,
"Yes, the slave knows that the slave will not make the lady angry."
"You're very clever."
After Qi Xin finished speaking, he quietly returned to his room, and Chang Xin, who had been standing in the corner, occupied it for a while before going back to rest.
Chang Xin has always felt that in this Weiyang Palace, he is like a gatekeeper, although he is waiting by Qi Xin's side, but it seems that he always feels that there is a gap in Qi Xin's heart to face him, otherwise why does Qi Xin always ask him to serve outside? Chang Xin tossed and turned in bed for a while before falling asleep, thinking that when he woke up, he must go to the imperial study to ask his godfather what he should do.
Although Chang Xin thinks so, I am afraid that if he wants to find Chang Gui, he should not be able to do it in the imperial study, because Chang Gui stayed in the Chuyu Palace with Northern Qi tonight.
After Qi Xin left, Beiqi didn't have much appetite, and wanted to go over to see what happened to the seventh princess, but looking at Concubine Duan's clear face, I don't know why I just couldn't give up.
Concubine Duan didn't say anything, and her docile appearance made Beiqi feel a trace of guilt in her eyes. So Beiqi settled down and picked up chopsticks to eat a meal. During this period, Concubine Duan had the courage to add a dish to Beiqi, and Beiqi also ate it, Concubine Duan looked very happy, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was obvious.
The two of them ate quietly and didn't say anything. After Beiqi put down the chopsticks, Concubine Duan just wanted to ask if she wanted to eat some snacks, but Beiqi spoke first,
"Concubine Duan, thank you for saving face for me when you were in the Golden Mansion before."
Concubine Duan was stunned, but she seemed to have quickly regained her composure, and bowed her head slightly,
"This is what a concubine should do."
Bei Qi nodded, and the eyes of Concubine Xiang Duan were no longer as disgusted as before. Although I felt that Concubine Duan's dress was very good-looking, she still didn't flow down, stood up and said to Concubine Duan,
"You just came back from the Golden Mansion today, and you're tired. Let's rest early. I'll go to the Imperial Study. ”
After Beiqi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door. I didn't take another look at Concubine Duan, and she was very decisive. Concubine Duan hurriedly stood up and saluted to Beiqi, squinting her eyes at Guixiang on the side, Guixiang looked a little nervous, but still saluted calmly.
When Northern Qi walked out of the palace gate of the Chuyu Palace, Concubine Duan opened her mouth and asked,
"Guixiang, what's going on?"
Guixiang knelt on the ground, but did not speak. Concubine Duan glanced at the other people in the room and waved them all down.
