Chapter 57: Peach Blossom Cake
If it was the prince's idea, then why did the guards and palace maids appear there?
Or is there someone else who wants to harm Wen Yunxian?
"You didn't care about your own safety to save Miss Wen from the disaster, and you are her life-saving benefactor." Chu Xiaohan looked at Cheng Xin with appreciation.
It was also the first time to seriously look at the girl in front of him.
He had also heard some rumors about Cheng Xin, but it turned out that those rumors were not credible.
Cheng Xin shook his head: "I was just passing by, and I happened to bump into such a thing." The guard was afraid that his deeds would be exposed, so he came to chase me, but fortunately the little grandfather arrived in time, otherwise I would have been miserable. ”
"I think Fusang also cares about you, so I will go to the back garden to look for you." Chu Xiaohan's gaze swept back and forth over the two of them, with a teasing expression.
Cheng Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, so the relationship between their brother and sister has eased.
She turned around and saluted Qin Shu: "I haven't thanked my brother for saving my life." ”
Chu Xiaohan felt that the two of them got along very interestingly, saying that they were alienated but not lacking in care, saying that they were intimate but even chatting was so polite.
He couldn't help asking, "Then how are you going to repay this life-saving grace?" ”
After speaking, he glanced at Qin Shu, saw him raise the tea on the side, and drank it casually.
Cheng Xin thought seriously for a moment: "The eldest brother is the father, this time I will honor my brother." ”
"Ahem......" Qin Shu was almost choked.
"Haha!"
Chu Xiaohan's burst of laughter came from the study, and the tea outside the door glanced back.
What made such a suave person as the second prince laugh like this?
Honor?
Chu Xiaohan felt that he would have to come to the Guogong Mansion more often in the future, so that he could have unexpected fun every day.
……
Enough laughter, the second prince and the little grandfather put on a chess game, and Cheng Xin left the study with interest.
Chu Xiaohan took the sunspot first, put away his previous playful heart, and said:
"What the prince did in the Longnan area, I'm afraid I can't hide it. My father will soon be retribution. ”
Qin Shu had already read the letters in the silver hairpin, and he was not surprised to hear it.
"What are you going to do?"
"This matter is decided by the father, and with the queen's mother here, the prince will definitely be able to get out safely this time." Chu Xiaohan's tone was light.
Over the years, the crown prince has made many mistakes, but he has never been severely punished.
Qin Shu shook his head slightly: "This time, he won't stop so easily." ”
Chu Xiaohan knew very well who Qin Shu was talking about, and said with some doubts: "The eldest brother has been dormant for many years, if he is not necessarily sure, he will definitely not make a move." ”
In the palace, the eldest prince who everyone ignored was not as weak as they thought.
"This time, it's an opportunity. If he really wanted this position, he would definitely not miss it. Qin Shu's expression was determined, and he lowered his eyelids and fell.
Chu Xiaohan couldn't help but think of the guard in the palace.
"Could it be that this Miss Wen's matter is also related to the crown prince?"
Kill chickens to show monkeys? Otherwise, how could the eldest brother, who has always been low-key, be abnormal this time?
Qin Shu had the scene of Cheng Xin attacking the guards in his mind, and couldn't help but think of the punch that Cheng Xin woke up to him after falling into the water.
When did she learn boxing?
"Fuso, what are you thinking?"
Qin Shu returned to his senses: "This matter has nothing to do with the matter of Longnan, even if it is done by the prince, it will not be publicized." ”
It is related to the women's festival, especially this matter is also related to Miss Wen, Chu Xiaohan naturally does not want to make a big fuss about this matter.
"I'm a little looking forward to how the eldest brother will make a move this time. It's just that if the eldest brother makes a move, will you really stand by and watch? Chu Xiaohan asked.
The queen's surname is Qin, and the relationship between the prince and Qin Shu is closer.
Qin Shu opened the fan in his hand and stared at the few strokes, and what came to his mind was the scene of the young prince laughing and ordering the internal official to throw an old cat into the well and drown.
"The prince's temperament is like this, even the Qin family will not watch the country fall into the hands of such a person."
Sooner or later, some things will happen, it's just a mystery for the authorities.
Chu Xiaohan was a little stunned, this was the first time Qin Shu had told him his position so bluntly.
Although they were young friends, Qin Shu was also different from others to him. However, they rarely talked about this matter, after all, he was still the second prince and a strong contender for the crown prince.
The fact that he can be so frank now shows that he has made a decision.
Chu Xiaohan didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.
Qin Shu's hands were not fast, but every step was just right. On the contrary, Chu Xiaohan was a little uneasy at the moment, and soon collapsed.
In the end, Chu Xiaohan put down the two sons: "It seems that I can't play chess with you here in the future." ”
"Even if it's somewhere else, you may not win."
"Haha, that's you." Chu Xiaohan knew that today was not the time to play chess, so he got up neatly at the moment.
Qin Shu calmly accepted the chess pieces and said, "Silver." ”
Chu Xiaohan was a little helpless and took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and put them on the chessboard: "The old rule, we have two clear money." ”
Qin Shu didn't go to collect the cash ticket, and after packing up the chess pieces, he went to the side to clean his hands before picking up the fan on the table.
"Fusang, I'm actually curious, no one is allowed to touch your fan, why did you let her pick it up?"
"It's none of your business."
"Haha, okay, I understand if you don't say it."
Qin Shu raised his eyes: "What do you understand?" ”
"It's none of you." Chu Xiaohan successfully returned to the first army, smiling brightly.
Chu Xiaohan walked out of the room and bumped into Cheng Xin who came over with a snack.
"Second Highness, are you leaving?"
"There's something else going on in the palace, so I'll leave first." His gaze fell on the plate in Cheng Xin's hand: "Peach blossom cake? ”
"yes, it was just done."
Chu Xiaohan took a piece and took a bite: "The lips and teeth are fragrant, this taste is better than what the imperial chef in the palace makes." ”
"Really? Hazelnut should be glad to hear it. If Your Highness likes it, will you bring some back to eat? ”
Chu Xiaohan shook his head, and when he turned around and caught a glimpse of Qin Shu standing at the door, he changed his words and said, "It's okay." Take all of this with me. ”
"Good. Minqi, you go and prepare, by the way, Second Highness, I won't send it if I still have something to do. ”
Not long after, Cheng Xin entered the little grandfather's study, and at a glance saw the five hundred taels of silver on the chessboard.
"Do you still gamble when you play chess?"
Qin Shu's face was expressionless, and his gaze glanced down in the direction of her hand.
Cheng Xin raised his hand immediately: "You have found out." This is peach blossom cake, I specially left a piece for you. ”
The peach blossom cream is snow-white and light powder, which looks very delicious.
"No need."
"You don't eat? But Qingcha said that you like to eat peach blossom cake. Cheng Xin handed the peach blossom cake to his mouth: "You take a bite and taste it, it tastes very good, His Royal Highness Fang Cai said that it is better than what the imperial chef makes." ”
The little grandfather's mouth pursed even tighter.
"Just take a bite and taste it." Cheng Xin came a little closer.
Looking at Cheng Xin's expectant eyes, Qin Shu, who wanted to refuse again, opened his mouth for some reason and took a bite.
"Is it delicious?"
Qin Shu chewed carefully and nodded.
"It's delicious, right, I wouldn't have packed it for His Royal Highness if I had known it. But the visitor is a guest, forget it, I'll let the hazelnut make more next time. Cheng Xin handed it over again, and the little grandfather took another bite.
The little grandfather eats really gentle, and he is very elegant. If it were her, she would be able to eat this pastry in one bite.
