Chapter Seventy-One: Taboo
The left hand resting on his thigh clenched his fist tightly, and his right hand picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to his lips.
"You're using tea as a spirit?" Opposite the young man, a cold-faced and handsome young man disdainfully added another glass to him and said sarcastically.
The young man was Xu Jingxuan, and in response to Brother Qi's sneer, he pursed the corners of his lips and said, "I do!" ”
"Whether you want to, whether you don't want to, anyway, I'm still the same sentence, you stay away from that little girl!" The Seventh Prince, Xu Jingyu, didn't care about this younger brother's attitude, but only warned, "Moreover, you have to be careful to deal with his questioning!" ”
"Whoa! If you want to know anything, let him know! Xu Jingxuan said nonchalantly.
His eyes involuntarily drifted out of the window, the little girl's small figure had already merged into the crowd, but even if it was so petite and ordinary, he still caught her back at a glance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but quietly rise.
Xu Jingyu, who was on the other side, looked at his unconscious expression, shook his head slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Red face is still a confidant!" ”
"Seventh brother, when your words reached the ears of my father, I had to scold him again!" Before the sound arrived, Xu Jingju's warm voice was also so soft and gentle between brothers.
"Brother Six Emperors!" At the same time as the door was pushed open, Xu Jingxuan and Xu Jingxuan still got up to greet each other even if they were unwilling, and asked the guy to prepare another set of tea sets.
"Sixth Emperor Brother, don't you need to assist your father in the palace today?" Xu Jingyu took the lead in sitting down after giving a salute, with contempt in his words.
"It is the duty of the third emperor brother to assist my father, how can I insert it at will!" Xu Jingjie was not angry, and sat down. He handed the silk handkerchief in his hand to Xu Jingxuan and said, "Ninth brother, this is for a little girl that my brother just met downstairs, saying that it was soiled yesterday and I came to return it today!" ”
"Oh~ This handkerchief is indeed mine, but I didn't want it to be soiled!" Xu Jingxuan stretched out his hand to take it and threw it casually at the corner of the table. To put it mildly. "I didn't expect her to send it back, and she can be regarded as a trustworthy girl!"
But my heart is full of taste, this girl. Can't you hold on a little longer? can't stand a little difficulty, so he casually passes his things through other people's hands! Spit! The next time he saw her, he would definitely have to count it down to dispel the anger in his heart.
"People don't care about high or low, they care about keeping their promises. I look at that little girl nicely! Xu Jingyu said with a light smile.
"Oh? Is the sixth brother's taste finally going to change, he feels that the heavy makeup is too heavy. And want to clear the porridge and side dishes to clear the stomach? Xu Jingyu poured Xu Jingyu a cup of tea and said with bad intentions.
Xu Jingjie took a sip and praised the good tea first, then looked at Xu Jingyu and smiled: "The love between men and women." The harmony of yin and yang is the common sense of human beings. It's not that the sixth brother wants to break his mouth when he sees you, you should also take care of it. Regulate your behavior well, and don't let those crooked tendencies ruin your life. You know that what my father is most unaccustomed to is this masculine style. Why do you have to be so obvious! ”
"Sixth brother, everyone's hobbies are different and their conduct is different, so you don't have to talk to me about it!" Xu Jingyu interrupted him coldly, "Just like the sixth brother and the third brother like the beauties of the world, I just like beautiful men, but they just take what they like, I don't think there's anything wrong!" ”
Xu Jingyu saw that Xu Jingyu was about to turn his face, and immediately compromised: "Okay, good!" Just take what you like, so we don't have to argue about it. I'm just out for a casual stroll today, so let's just talk about some pleasant topics, and don't talk about the rest, so as not to hurt the harmony between the brothers! ”
"What the sixth brother said is that today I only talk about Fengyue and nothing else!" Xu Jingxuan suddenly smiled wickedly and said, "However, wouldn't it be more beautiful if the sixth brother asked Sister Yi Jue to come in and chat with us!" ”
"You bold stinky boy, I don't know that Yi Jue and Yi Ling are the sixth brother's favorite, you still dare to beat her idea, I don't think you want to live anymore!" Xu Jingyu immediately glared and said, "Moreover, don't let me see that disgusting scene!" ”
"Seventh brother, seventh brother! Otherwise, you'll also attract ink jade or green jade......"
"Okay, the more you two talk, the more unpleasant it becomes, stop talking nonsense, drink tea! Let's have tea! Seeing that the topic was about to go off the rails, the gentle Xu Jingyu immediately smiled warmly, and Xu Jingyu's worried question did not appear.
Only the three of them lowered their eyes and drank tea, each hiding their different thoughts.

Bai Qingshuang returned home in a depressed mood, Bai Yao and Bai Qingfeng had already had lunch, the mother and son talked to each other briefly, seeing Bai Qingshuang coming back, Bai Qingfeng was about to pull Bai Qingshuang to talk, or Bai Yao asked her if she had eaten, so she stopped Bai Qingfeng's entanglement and let her eat first.
The lunch meal was very simple, because the old hen was only in the pot, and it was still simmering in the pot, just waiting for Bai Zhihong to come back in the evening to taste it together.
Bai Qingshuang casually took two mouthfuls of rice, and felt that he really didn't have much appetite, but he still ate a bowl of rice under the gaze of Bai Yao's staring eyes, they didn't have the right to waste food now!
No! It should be said that waste is shameful, regardless of the quality of life.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks by himself, Bai Qingshuang lifted his sleeves and said, "Mother, I'll teach you to make cakes!" ”
"Cake? Did you say that what you were going to give to your grandfather was something called a cake? Bai Yao was a little puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Bai Qingshuang's eyes with a little strangeness.
"Yes! Mother, that's a delicious snack! Bai Qingshuang didn't notice anything wrong with Bai Yao's expression, and began to take out the items needed to make the cake and prepare.
Bai Yao's brows furrowed, his face became very solemn, and he couldn't help but think of the silk handkerchief of the ice silk he saw before.
"Shuang'er, you wait first, don't be busy, my mother has something to ask you!"
"Mother, what's the matter?" Bai Qingshuang stopped, and looked at Bai Yao, who had a serious and strict face, suspiciously, I don't know what happened to her kung fu this moment?
"Tell your mother, have you met someone you shouldn't know outside recently?" There was still a trace of worry on Bai Yao's solemn face.
Bai Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and her heart also chuckled, a little unnaturally slightly avoided Bai Yao's gaze, and said with a little heart: "Mother, what are you talking about?" What people shouldn't know, Shuang'er can't understand! ”
Could it be that Bai Yao found out that she not only knew the Nine Emperor Princes, but also the Six Princes? These royal children, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is her honor to know them, but she thinks that as a parent, she must not want her ordinary and weak daughter to know those big people.
"Well, my mother made it clear, did you know someone from the palace?"
"Huh?" I guessed it! Why? Just because of the ice silk handkerchief I saw before?
The only thing Bai Qingshuang could think of was this possibility.
As soon as he saw his daughter's surprised face, Bai Yao knew that he had guessed wrong, but it was not far off.
immediately took Bai Qingshuang's hand and said seriously: "Listen, Shuang'er, no matter who you meet in the palace, you must stay away from that person in the future." And, don't talk about making cakes anymore, you know? ”
Cake? Something to do with cake?
When Bai Qingshuang was still in a dumbfounded state, Bai Yao said again: "As for the matter of your grandfather's birthday banquet, I will discuss it with your father again!" ”
"Mother, what's wrong with this cake? Is it a taboo in the capital? Bai Qingshuang, who came back to his senses, immediately asked, and he always felt a little strange in his heart.
Could it be that this time and space is still a little different from the ancient times she knew, they have already introduced Western food culture here, and there is already a store of cakes and dim sum?
Bai Yao looked at his daughter who didn't know the answer, and cautiously glanced outside, and saw that the sun-scorched courtyard was quiet, and no outsiders came uninvited, before he said solemnly: "This cake is taboo in our dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration. Because, this was the favorite dim sum of the Emperor and Concubine when she was alive, and the one she made by herself was even more delicious than that made by the palace kitchen, which was really popular in the capital for a long time before. ”
Listening to what Bai Yao said, Bai Qingshuang's expression was a little strange, and a strange thought flashed in his mind, could it be that the lady concubine, the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, was also worn?
This reminded her of the two large-scale brick kilns and glass yards on the outskirts of the city.
Although Xu Jingxuan did not say that the brick kiln was also his, he should have made it clear that the glazed field was left by his mother, which may be another point that can prove that the powerful woman also wore it.
Looking at the change in Bai Qingshuang's facial expression, Bai Yao only thought that the child was disappointed, and continued to explain: "It's just that after the death of the Shuhuang Guifei, the current saint has sealed some of the things that the Shuhuang Guifei liked most during her lifetime because of the loss of her beloved concubine, so as not to see things and think about people, and no one will mention it again, including the Nine Emperor Princes!" ”
Bai Qingshuang sighed and continued: "So, if we make a cake for our grandfather's birthday, it will be equivalent to clashing with the royal family's taboo, right?" ”
It's dangerous, it's dangerous! It's a shame that she can't do it herself, so she said that she would teach Bai Yao to do it, otherwise she pretended to do it mysteriously, and when the time came, she sent it to the old man, and she didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause!
With a handful of sweat, Bai Qingshuang secretly stuck out her tongue, and became more and more interested in Xu Jingxuan's dead mother, but she didn't know if Xu Jingxuan's stinky boy or the current emperor knew the true identity of the concubine. (To be continued)
