Chapter 98: A cup of tea

Mu Hongsheng's eyes were black in the palace, she didn't know anywhere, of course, Xiaoxi said that she would go wherever she went, she had no opinion on climbing the mountain to see the scenery, and she was even quite happy. How fun it is to stand high and look at the palace!

It's just that Mu Hongshang didn't expect that after climbing the not-so-high hill in Zhuxiangyuan, she found that there were already people in the pavilion.

Zheng Ying was sitting in the pavilion, holding a cup of tea in her hand, as if she was also looking at the scenery, looking into the distance, hearing Mu Hongsheng's footsteps coming up, Zheng Ying turned her head to look, and happened to be eye-to-eye with Mu Hongsheng.

Looking at each other, Zheng Ying still looked calm and uneasy, but Mu Hongshang felt a little embarrassed. She thought, she probably bothered the fifth prince.

Mu Hongshang was thinking about giving Zheng Ying a salute, and then apologize, and then asked Xiaoxi to find her another place to eat snacks. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxi was much faster than her.

Xiao Xi crossed over from Mu Hongsheng in a few steps, and ran directly to Zheng Ying's side and saluted, "Your Highness." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Ying nodded slightly, and ordered in a very soft voice, "You go." ”

Then, Mu Hongshang saw Xiaoxi smiling at her, and then ran down the hill like a gust of wind and disappeared, leaving her in place.

Mu Hongshang was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

Zheng Ying's face was as usual, he glanced at Mu Hongsheng, who was still looking at the path down the mountain in surprise, and couldn't help but show a few smiles, "Don't look at it, you can't see anything over there, the mountain wall is in the way." Come here, the view here is better, and you can see the palace lane under the mountain. ”

Mu Hongshang glanced back at Zheng Ying, and then gave him a formal salute, "Your Highness Five." Sorry to bother you, I came here by accident and didn't know you were here. If so......"

"What if?" Zheng Ying looked at the little girl's serious appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "If you had known that I was here, you wouldn't have come?" ”

This question was so difficult to answer, Mu Hongsheng decided not to answer. She looked at Zheng Ying with a pair of bright big eyes, but she didn't say a word.

"Okay," Zheng Ying beckoned to her, "Don't bother, I told Xiaofu to spread the word and ask Xiaoxi to take you here." Come and sit down, I owe you a cup of tea, and it's good to pay it back, and save me from worrying. ”

"That's right," Mu Hongsheng hesitated for a moment, and finally obediently walked into the pavilion and sat on the stone bench opposite Zheng Ying.

Only then did she realize that the stone table in the pavilion was full of snacks, as well as teapots and teacups, one of which was empty, as if it was really waiting for her to come up.

"If you want to drink tea, you have to pour it yourself," Zheng Ying pointed to the teapot warm on the small tea stove, "There is no one to serve here." If the teacher moves the people, my mother and younger brother will know. ”

So, Zheng Ying is sitting here drinking tea with her, and she needs to hide it from the queen mother and the six princes? Mu Hongshang was slightly stunned, this was different from what she had heard before. She heard that the queen mother loved the fifth prince very much, and she was better to him than her own sixth prince. She also heard that the fifth prince and the sixth prince have a deep brotherhood, and they have been very good since childhood.

Last time she saw the fifth prince and the sixth prince at her grandfather's house, she also felt that their relationship was very good, it turned out to be ...... Isn't it?

However, although she was puzzled, Mu Hongshang didn't ask much, she honestly reached out to touch the teapot on the side and poured herself a bowl of tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Mu Hongsheng raised her head as if she remembered something, "Little happy ......"

As soon as she spoke, Zheng Ying seemed to know what she wanted to say, and immediately replied, "Don't worry, he is guarding at the bottom of the mountain." ”

"Oh." Mu Hongsheng nodded a little dumbfoundedly, and finally asked a stupid question, "He...... Won't you say anything to the queen? After all, it was the queen mother who ordered him to accompany me. ”

Zheng Ying raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Hongsheng, his eyes were clear, and he was silent for a moment before he replied, "I didn't know that you would enter the palace today, but fortunately, Xiaoxi was clever, and when she learned that the queen chose someone to accompany you, she immediately recommended herself." It's also a shame that he mixes well in the queen's palace on weekdays, and the queen is willing to trust him. ”

"Oh." In fact, as soon as the words came out, Mu Hongshang knew that he had asked a stupid word, and looking at Xiaoxi's appearance just now, he knew that he was clearly following Zheng Ying's orders. Mu Hongsheng lowered her head a little embarrassed, despising her mind very much.

Zheng Ying didn't seem to see Mu Hongsheng's embarrassment, and after being silent for a while, she continued to speak, "Fortunately, it's Xiaoxi, if someone else takes you to the palace, I can't rest assured." It's not a good place in this palace, so let's come less in the future. ”

"I didn't want to come," Mu Hongshang replied, "Today's flower viewing banquet has nothing to do with me. It was the queen mother who specially sent a small inner supervisor to my house and invited me and my mother into the palace. ...... that can't be refused"

"I know." Zheng Ying nodded, "It must be impossible to refuse, and the Duchess of Anguo will take you into the palace." But in the future...... Come or not. Even if she sends someone to announce that you have entered the palace, you don't have to follow others around, remember that in the future, except for Xiaoxi, don't look for others to lead the way. If Xiaoxi is not there, he must not be separated from the Duchess of Anguo. Though...... They won't actually do anything to you, but it's always good to be careful. ”

"Hmm." Mu Hongshang nodded: "Remember." But my mother also said that it was okay, so just let me play by myself. ”

Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongsheng and didn't speak. He knew that he was also worrying about it, and the queen mother wanted to treat this little girl better, so how could she harm her. And Zheng Jin, he doesn't care about this girl at all, he is really idle in vain. There's really nothing to do...... Bai told her what to do.

"Osmanthus sweet soup," Zheng Ying, who felt that he had done something superfluous, coughed lightly, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he lowered his head and pushed a small bowl on the table in front of Mu Hongsheng, "The craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace, you can taste it better than your home." ”

Mu Hongshang lowered her head, obediently picked up a spoon and put a spoonful of sweet soup into her mouth, then immediately squinted her eyes and smiled happily, "It's delicious." It's even better than what I have at home, and sure enough, the best thing is the sweet osmanthus soup. ”

Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongsheng's smiling face, and suddenly felt that this little girl was very similar to the round white glutinous rice dumplings floating in the sweet osmanthus soup, which looked sweet and funny.

Although she really wanted to laugh with Mu Hongsheng, Zheng Ying still tried to tighten her face and raised her eyebrows calmly, "It seems that with the sweet osmanthus soup, there is no need for osmanthus cake." ”

"It's not." Mu Hongshang immediately raised her head, her eyes shining, "Osmanthus cake is also delicious." ”

This girl...... Zheng Ying finally couldn't help laughing.
