Mu Hongsheng looked at Zheng Ying's smiling face with a strange expression, and couldn't help but say, "It turns out that Your Highness, you will also laugh like this......"

"How?" Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongshang with a little curiosity, feeling that the child's thinking was strange. Although he smiled, he did not lose his temper, and he did not know what the child was talking about.

"The whole face is smiling," Mu Hongshang gestured: "The eyes are also smiling, the mouth is smiling, and the whole face is smiling." It's not like you used to have eyes that don't smile, and your face doesn't smile, just squint your eyes and your mouth. ”

"Heh......" Zheng Ying felt funny when she heard Mu Hongsheng's words: "You have only met me once, and the friendship of a cup of tea, could it be that you have been staring at me last time and came to a conclusion."

"Not really." Mu Hongsheng tilted her head and thought carefully for a long time before replying, "If you want to talk about it...... It's probably because you don't look the same as His Highness the Sixth, he always laughs, and when he doesn't, he seems to be laughing. You're not, and when you laugh, it's like you're not laughing. But it's strange......"

"What's so strange about this," Zheng Ying regained his calm appearance with eight winds: "The sixth brother has a different personality from me, he loves to laugh since he was a child, and he is also gentle, kind, cheerful and generous when he grows up."

"But......" Mu Hongshang originally wanted to say, but she felt that His Royal Highness Fifth Highness should be a person with a good temper, and he should also love to laugh. But in a blink of an eye, she remembered An Guogong's instructions at home two days ago, and swallowed the words again when they came to her mouth.

"But what?" Zheng Ying asked, "What do you want to say, just say it directly."

"Nope." Mu Hongsheng shook her head and decided to change the subject: "It's just a little strange why your Highness is here." Isn't it a flower viewing banquet today, my mother said that it was the queen who wanted to give the fifth and sixth highnesses a look at the future princess, shouldn't you be in Yuyang Palace? How did you get here? ”

Zheng Ying really has never seen a girl talk about marriage so generously and frankly, and she doesn't look embarrassed at all. However, although Mu Hongsheng's question was frank and straightforward, it made Zheng Ying a little difficult to answer.

The queen mother's thoughts behind arranging the flower viewing banquet, he Zheng Ying naturally knew it, but there was no need to explain it to such an inconsequential little girl as Mu Hongsheng.

I can't tell Mu Hongsheng that the queen's mother held a flower-viewing banquet, but in fact, it was just to choose a good daughter-in-law for her own son, and it was none of his business as an adopted son, right?

"After shopping for a long time, aren't you hungry?" Zheng Ying, who didn't want to deal with Mu Hongshang's boring question, decisively decided to talk to him left and right: "You don't want to eat the osmanthus cake made by the imperial kitchen?"

Mu Hongshang immediately realized that she was probably asking a question that she shouldn't have asked, and she cooperated to look at the snacks on the table: "The imperial chef's osmanthus cake?" I want to try it, it must be better than the one at home. ”

"Not necessarily." Zheng Ying pushed a plate of soft white pastries in front of Mu Hongsheng: "The sweet osmanthus soup in the palace tastes good, but the osmanthus cake is very ordinary when I look at it."

Mu Hongshang picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he squinted his eyes and commented with a smile: "It's not bad, but it's not as delicious as my home." The osmanthus cake in my grandmother's small kitchen is delicious, fragrant and soft, the osmanthus flavor is strong, and the osmanthus cake outside is not as good as that in my grandmother's kitchen, so I can't make that taste. ”

"Yes," Zheng Ying said, "It's so lively, I want to try it."

Mu Hongshang smiled and did not answer. Anyway, she couldn't invite the prince to her house to eat osmanthus cake. However, obviously, Zheng Ying just said it casually, and he quickly pushed another plate of dim sum to Mu Hongsheng: "This is pine nut lily cake, you can taste it, and it can only be eaten in the palace." Before...... Never mind. You can taste it, rest assured, this one is small, one bite at a time, and it will not fall off the slag. ”

Mu Hongshang looked at the golden dim sum on the plate with some curiosity, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

She picked up a pine nut lily cake, filled it in her mouth, and immediately laughed when she tasted it: "Hmm! It's delicious, it's delicious, I love it. ”

Seeing Mu Hongshang smiling happily, Zheng Ying couldn't help but smile: "If you like it, wait a minute, talk to Xiaoxi, he knows what to do."

"No need." Mu Hongshang shook her head, and at the same time, she couldn't help but clip the second piece of pine nut lily cake: "It's good that I can eat it here, the craftsmanship of the imperial chef is really extraordinary, this pine nut lily cake is really delicious."

Zheng Ying smiled and didn't speak, he reached out and picked up the teapot, and added a cup of tea to himself with a very elegant movement. While eating a snack, Mu Hongshang stretched her neck to look around: "Looking from here, the scenery is really beautiful, the bamboo forest under the mountain is shady, and it must be very cool in summer." Past this trail, is there the Pavilion of Meditation? The surrounding area is full of green trees, so it must be cool and pleasant to read there in the summer. ”

"It's not Jingsi Pavilion over there," Zheng Ying shook her head, pointing to a small courtyard not far from the bottom of the mountain and said, "This is Jingsi Pavilion." The palace farther away is the Baoyun Palace, and the trees around the Baoyun Palace are not trees, but roses. The emperor's favored Xu Guifei used to live in the Baoyun Palace, and it is said that she loved roses, and the emperor planted roses around the Baoyun Palace in order to please her. ”

"Then ......" Mu Hongsheng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, you said before, picking roses to make rose cakes in the summer......"

"It's true." Zheng Ying nodded, her face was calm, and she couldn't see her anger: "My queen mother...... I mean Empress Xie, I heard that when she was alive, she would personally take the palace people to the Baoyun Hall every summer to pick roses and make fresh rose cakes to distribute to the palace people. But I've only heard about it. However, there is indeed a tradition of picking roses and making rose cakes in the palace in the summer, but the imperial kitchen sent people to pick them in the Baoyun Palace, and the rose cakes were uniformly made and distributed to various palaces, and now the queen mother does not care. ”

"Oh......" Mu Hongshang touched her nose, feeling that she had asked an unpleasant question again. Everyone knows that Empress Xie died after giving birth to Zheng Ying, and he never saw his mother. The topic she asked about rose cakes at the moment really meant to reveal the scars.

Compared with Mu Hongsheng's embarrassment, Zheng Ying still looked unexcited, as if what the two of them were talking about just now was something that had nothing to do with him.

Zheng Ying glanced at the direction of the Baoyun Hall a few times, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you entered the palace earlier, and if you are about half a month late, the roses in the Baoyun Hall will bloom." Although you don't like sugar shortbread that falls off when you bite into it, I'd like to treat you to the rose cake in the palace. I think it tastes pretty good. ”
