276. Warm Night

Seeing that Nian Nian no longer shirked, Princess Lan Xin accepted the earrings happily, and immediately took Nian Nian's hand and smiled: "That's right, I said it earlier, in the future, the two of us will be like sisters in this palace, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to see Lan Xin." ”

Meng Niannian saw Princess Lanxin's sister and sister-in-law, as if she was a person who had been very close to her many years ago, and said in her heart: This Princess Lanxin, I don't know why she was so enthusiastic about me as soon as we met? It's really a self-cooked.

But she always felt that Princess Lanxin's affection for her seemed to be too sweet, which made it difficult for her to digest for a while. So I couldn't find more words to say to the princess, so I had to nod my head frequently and listen carefully to the princess's words.

Princess Lanxin talked to herself for a long time, and suddenly her words changed, and she said in a lower voice: "I just heard yesterday that your third brother is unwell, and he will not even participate in the wedding celebration of the royal brother and sister-in-law, but what's going on?" Is he sick? ”

Hearing Princess Lanxin mention Su Junchu, Niannian suddenly realized in her heart that Princess Lanxin was in a hurry to see her, and she went around such a big circle of nonsense, and finally just wanted to ask her how the third brother is now?

It's no wonder that she is so close to Niannian, and she gave such a valuable pair of earrings as soon as they met. Because she thought that Nian Nian was Su Junchu's own sister Su Xiaorou, since she had always liked Su Junchu, of course she hoped to have a good relationship with her future sister-in-law first.

It's just that how did she know that the crown princess in front of her was not Su Junchu's own sister Su Xiaorou, but her sweetheart who made Su Junchu's heart ache?

Thinking of this, Nian Nian's heart was sour, and she was so stunned that she forgot to answer the princess's question.

Seeing Nian Nian's appearance, Princess Lanxin became anxious, and asked repeatedly, "How is he?" Isn't it very sick? Otherwise, I will ask my father to send the first imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Doctor Hu, to take a look at Junchu. ”

"My third brother is ...... He's been a bit of a chill during this time...... But it's not a big deal, maybe it will be fine in two days. Niannian looked at the princess's anxious appearance, and said in her heart: She really cares about the third brother. But I didn't know how to explain it better, so I had to reply.

"It's not a big deal, he can't even attend your wedding with the royal brother. That must be very strict, I don't think I'm at ease after all. Princess Lanxin glanced at Nian Nian reproachfully, stood up and said as if talking to herself.

"Maybe it's very strict......" Nian Nian smiled bitterly, his heart was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't say it anymore.

Fortunately, Princess Lanxin was pondering something alone at the moment, and she didn't notice the difference in Nian Nian's face.

Princess Lan Xin thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and sat down next to Nian Nian again: "No, I have to go and see how he is, he hasn't been to the palace for a long time, if it weren't for his extreme physical discomfort, I don't think he would be like this." Sister-in-law, tomorrow is the third day of your marriage with the imperial brother, according to the custom, you have to go back to the door for the ceremony, I will go to Su Mansion with you, I will go to see Junchu. ”

It turned out that there was also a three-day etiquette for getting married in the ancient palace, Nian Nian thought to herself, and then looked at the eager and impatient face of Princess Lanxin in front of her, and she was stunned for a while, speechless......

Night fell quietly, and Su Xiaorou was lying on the bed.

Because the prince had explained that everyone did not need to call her to do any errands today, no one had come to disturb her dreams, and she fell asleep as soon as she slept, and when she woke up, it was already dark.

She couldn't help but complain to herself: Today she said that she would go to see who the crown princess was, but she didn't expect to sleep so deeply.

It's too late now, where is she going to look for a chance to meet the crown princess? She is a follower of the crown prince, and she is a man, so she can't find an excuse to go to the princess's bedroom at night.

While thinking about Xiaorou, she got up and got out of bed, sorted out her clothes, and suddenly felt hungry and panicked.

She still drank that little tea in the bamboo hut last night, and today she only sleeps and hasn't eaten anything for a day. She said in her heart: The people take food as the sky, so let's go to the imperial dining room first to see if there is anything left to eat.

Out of the hut that the prince arranged for her to live in on weekdays, Xiao Rou walked through the corridor of the flower hall and prepared to walk in the direction of the imperial dining room.

saw the crown prince Li Mo standing at the garden rockery, as if thinking about something. A layer of silver moonlight faintly shrouded Li Mo's body, adding a bit of indifference and arrogance to him.

Su Xiaorou stopped and asked in surprise, "Prince, what are you doing here so late?" Why don't you go to accompany the crown princess? ”

No matter what, she always remembered that today was the second day of the prince's newlywed Yan'er, and she shouldn't have stayed outside alone at this time.

"Oh, I'm here to enjoy the moonlight, and by the way, think about something. Crown Princess...... She doesn't need me to accompany her. What about you? Where are you going to go at this late hour? Li Mo turned around and said, his dark eyes looking particularly deep in the moonlight.

"The crown princess doesn't need you to compensate? Today is the second day of your wedding. Su Xiaorou was even more puzzled, and said puzzled with a pair of bright big eyes.

"Yes, she doesn't need me to accompany her." Li Mo said simply, and then asked, "You haven't said where you're going now?" ”

"I ...... I'm hungry and want to go to the dining room to see if there's anything else to eat. Su Xiaorou rubbed her face embarrassedly.

"Haven't you eaten all day?" Li Mo looked at her and asked.

"Well, I forgot to sleep." Su Xiaorou nodded honestly.

"You're too good at sleeping, it looks like you and the second emperor brother had a pretty good time last night." Li Mo looked at Su Xiaorou with a little mockery, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the imperial dining room with me, and let Gonggong Huang get you some delicious food, you are too thin, you need to eat more." ”

"No need, prince, I'll go alone, you better go back to the dormitory. lest the new crown princess wait anxiously......" Su Xiaorou hurriedly said.

Li Mo didn't answer anymore, and the tall figure had already walked towards the front. Su Xiaorou had no choice but to follow him silently.

Soon arrived at the door of the imperial dining room, Li Mo turned his head and asked, "What do you like to eat?" ”

I like to eat a lot, Su Xiaorou said in her heart, but now she and the prince can't say it so bluntly.

After all, this is in the palace, and her identity is just a follower of the crown prince, not the eldest lady she used to pamper in the prime minister's mansion. So, she just said lightly: "Just a little bit of heart." ”

Li Mo looked at her and smiled rarely: "Casual is the most difficult thing to do." ”

At this time, the chef of the imperial dining room, Huang Gonggong, heard the voice and greeted him, and when he saw the prince, he quickly said respectfully: "What kind of supper does the prince want to eat?" Just let the little nobleman come over and spread the word, and the minions will send you to the Taihe Hall immediately, why do you need the prince to come over in person. ”

"It's not that I want to eat, it's that this little gentleman hasn't eaten for a day, you can watch and make her some delicious pastries and rice porridge." The prince pointed at Su Xiaorou and said to Huang Gonggong.

"Yes, the minion will get it. Please come into the hall and rest for a while, and it will be fine immediately. Gonggong Huang glanced at Su Xiaorou in slight surprise, welcomed the prince and Su Xiaorou into the front hall of the imperial dining room, and then turned to the back kitchen to prepare.

Li Mo and Su Xiaorou sat opposite each other at a table, and no one spoke for a while.

In fact, Su Xiaorou wanted to ask the crown princess about some things again, but seeing Li Mo's cold face as if she was thinking far away, she was also silent, and she thought about her thoughts by herself.

After a while, I saw a little father-in-law walking up with four small plates, two small bowls, and two pairs of silver chopsticks, and placed them in front of the prince and Su Xiaorou.

Xiao Rou saw that the four small plates were filled with jujube paste soft cake, sesame halva, butterfly shrimp roll and sweet and sour lotus root, while the two small bowls were filled with Huiren rice porridge and white fungus lotus seed soup, which were really her favorite items.

The prince took a pair of silver chopsticks and handed them to Xiao Rou and said, "Look, your eyes are bright, you are hungry." ”

Xiao Rou took the chopsticks and took a bite of a piece of jujube paste soft cake: "It's delicious, thank you prince, the prince will eat a little more." ”

"You don't have to worry about me, just eat by yourself." The prince looked at her and said softly.

"Then I'll eat it alone." Su Xiaorou smiled sweetly at the prince, and was no longer polite, and ate by herself.

Li Mo looked at Su Xiaorou's smile, and there was a moment of confusion, and he always felt that this tranquil and pure smile was particularly attractive to his attention.

Su Xiaorou ate by herself for a while, but when she looked up, she saw that the prince was looking at her intently, as if watching her eat was also a pleasure.

Her face couldn't help but flush slightly: "Prince, why are you looking at me like this?" It's like I'm eating too much. However, these snacks are really delicious, more than the cook I used to use when I was at home......"

Speaking of this, Su Xiaorou stopped, she originally wanted to say that the dim sum here was much better than the cook in Su Mansion before, but she suddenly remembered that in the eyes of the prince, she was just a little scholar before, how could there be a special cook in the little scholar's family?

saw that the prince was still looking at her intently, as if he was still waiting to hear her continue.

She hurriedly picked up another butterfly shrimp roll: "It's much more delicious than what I've eaten before, prince, you can also taste it." With that, he sent the butterfly shrimp roll he picked up to the prince.

"I've already had dinner, and I've told you to eat it yourself." Li Mo was slightly stunned and excused himself.

He didn't expect Su Xiaorou to suddenly hand him a pair of chopsticks, and he really didn't like to eat this kind of snack.

"Prince, you can taste it, the little comb has been handed to you for a long time." Xiao Rou couldn't help but purse her lips, and looked at the prince with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes.

She naturally brought out her delicate appearance when she was a girl, and this coquettish skill is a powerful weapon that Xiaorou has tried and tested.

Sure enough, the cold prince seemed to have no immunity at the moment.

Facing Xiao Rou's disgusted appearance, the prince's face began to heat slightly, he didn't shirk anymore, opened his mouth and ate the butterfly shrimp roll.
