Zheng Ying didn't "rest" for long in the small hall, it was the time of two teas, Mu Hongshang asked the lotus leaf to bring a plate of osmanthus cake, Zheng Ying seemed to like the osmanthus cake of Anguo Mansion very much, and even ate several pieces in a row.

"It seems that His Highness has really been busy for a day." Mu Hongshang looked at the plate of osmanthus cake and said, "This is hungry, right?" ”

"The osmanthus cake at home is really better than the one in the palace." Zheng Ying replied, "I like it very much. How to do it, I will ask the chef of the palace to come to learn another day. ”

"Mama Wang in my grandmother's room is the best at making osmanthus cakes," Mu Hongshang replied, "These are all made by her." Since I was a child, this is my favorite food, and Mama Wang has to make it every few days. It's a pity that it's not the season for osmanthus to bloom right now, and all the osmanthus nectar pickled in last autumn is used. If it is autumn, you can eat cakes made of fresh osmanthus flowers, which are more fragrant. ”

"Hmm." Zheng Ying nodded: "It can be seen that Old Madam Mu really loves you." ”

"yes." Mu Hongsheng sighed slightly while holding the teacup: "Jinyi's least favorite thing is osmanthus cake, he always thinks the taste is light, he likes jujube pastry, and Mama Wang is also very good at making jujube pastry." My grandmother loves me, and she has to make osmanthus cakes in her small kitchen every three or five times on weekdays, and she can't make jujube paste cakes a few times a month. Jinyi used to always complain, saying that his grandmother was partial, and his grandmother laughed at him and told him not to compare with me. said that he was going to go to the battlefield in the future, and he couldn't be too squeamish, so he wouldn't be able to suffer in the future. Now that I think about it...... Now ......"

Mu Hongsheng couldn't go on, she lowered her head, picked the saucer with her hand, and was silent for a long time. Zheng Ying didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, as if he didn't care about what Mu Hongsheng said, on the surface, it actually looked more like he was in an absent-minded daze.

But it was Zheng Ying's seemingly indifferent attitude that made Mu Hongshang feel more at ease and safe. After a while, she finally opened her mouth again, as if talking to herself, and counted with her fingers: "The eldest brother likes to eat sauce meat buns, and the second brother's taste is a bit similar to mine, and he also likes osmanthus flowers, but he likes red bean gnocchi with osmanthus nectar the most." The third brother likes the four happy ruyi dumplings in the mother's kitchen, the fourth brother likes the green onion golden silk cake, the fifth brother is actually the favorite among us to eat sweets, he likes dragon whisker candy, and Jinyi, the favorite is jujube paste crisp and chestnut cake. ”

"Mama Wang is very good at making dim sum, so my grandmother's small kitchen will make us snacks every day, but my grandmother is most used to me, so in the small kitchen, the most common dim sum is osmanthus cake. Grandmother is eccentric, and my brothers never think there is anything wrong with this, even the brocade clothes ...... Jinyi is younger than me, don't look at him always complaining, but he actually lets me on weekdays. My grandmother was so partial to me, and he just said a few words, and I know that he never really felt unfair in his heart. ”

"But in fact, it's just unfair, I don't have to go to the battlefield, I have to take much less responsibility than my brothers and brocades, why should I enjoy more pampering and preference than them. Because I'm a girl? It's not fair. ”

"It's also not fair that because I'm a girl, I can't go to war with them. We are all surnamed Mu, so we should all be the same. Why is it always so unfair? ”

Zheng Ying still didn't answer, he didn't even turn his head to look at Mu Hongsheng, he just lowered his head and stared at the clear tea soup in the tea cup.

The kung fu of the two teas, he has been listening to Mu Hongsheng quietly almost all the time, and Mu Hongsheng, as if talking to himself, does not care about Zheng Ying's reaction, there seems to be a tacit understanding between the two, and the atmosphere in the entire small flower hall is strange and harmonious.

Mu Hongsheng felt that she had said a lot of things, but she couldn't recall what she had said, it seemed that it was just some trivial things, or complaints without any doubt. And Zheng Ying, who seemed to be in a daze, actually listened extremely seriously and did not have any impatience.

He was even thinking that if he could sit here all the time, with Mu Hongsheng, he would listen to her like this, and he would never get tired of listening to her for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that he didn't have such an opportunity, because Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen in the study couldn't wait for a letter to the king for a long time, and they were already in a hurry to run out of the study to find someone.

"The prince is drinking tea here, so he sent a little servant to the study to say something," Mr. Chen pulled the lotus leaf aside at the door and whispered, "Let's find it easy." ”

"The prince said that he was busy all day today, and he didn't bother to drink tea," Lotus Ye replied in a low voice: "That's why the young lady let the prince come here and let people serve refreshments." The slave maid looked, about the prince was hungry, and look, the osmanthus cake ate half of the plate. ”

Mr. Chen turned his head to look at the plate on the table, and suddenly felt sympathy for Zheng Ying. How hungry is this, you can eat half a plate of refreshments in one go.

This less than half of the plate of osmanthus cake provided a reasonable reason for Zheng Ying's behavior, and everyone felt that it was a very reasonable request for the hard-working Xin Wang Ye to rest and drink tea before going to the study after entering the door.

Zheng Ying put down the teacup and stood up, and followed Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen to the study very calmly, with a calm attitude so calm that Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen felt a little embarrassed, feeling that they were really a little unkind, and believed that the prince was so hard. The dignified prince took the initiative to come to the door to discuss the matter, but they refused to let the family drink even a cup of tea.

However, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen were indeed a little anxious, because the pigeon whistle in the north had arrived again, and the information of the arrival this time was a reply from the emergency pigeon whistle sent to the north by the Anguo Mansion before.

The message from the north this time was written by An Guogong himself, and he was very cautious in his wording, and he did not mention anything that should not be mentioned, so this is an urgent message that can be made public at present.

"Our grandfather understands that the news that the fifth prince is still alive cannot be made public," Mr. Chen handed the scroll of paper full of dense handwriting to Zheng Ying: "Therefore, only the matter of the sixth prince and General Wen was mentioned, and the fifth prince reported his disappearance." The news of the loss of ordnance and grain and grass can no longer be hidden, and the surviving armor soldiers of the previous team of Jin Lingwei have also been protected, and these news should be visible, you see if it will be sent to the military headquarters today. ”

"Just leave it to this king." Zheng Ying replied: "Everyone knows that this king came to the Anguo Mansion today, and the news of the northern border was simply brought out by this king, and he did not hand it over to the military department first, and after this king left from here, he went directly to the palace and handed it over to his father in person." ”

"It's fine." Mr. Sun nodded: "I'm afraid He Wenmao won't be able to sleep tonight." ”
