It stands to reason that a family of three should be happy together.

But Zhao Hongli and Princess Paula met very coldly, politely like strangers.

Paula looked at the pastries brought in the food box and was not too excited.

Zhao Xing'er on the side was smiling, her eyes were shining, and she was clamoring to eat chestnut cake.

It's spring now, and chestnut cakes are generally eaten much in autumn and winter. It seems that the third prince must have put a lot of thought into it.

What was it that brought up Paula because of the sight of chestnut cake? A discerning person can see what it means at a glance.

Anna took the food box handed by the servant and brought out the chestnut cake, "Hey, madam, is this cake still warm?" ”

Anna follows the local customs, of course, she can't call her master a princess in front of the three princes, but Princess Paula minds her status as a side concubine very much, so Anna can only retreat and call her "madam".

Originally, Paula was also worried that the pastry would be cold and the child would have an upset stomach at night if she ate it. Hearing Anna's words, she looked at Zhao Xing'er's eager eyes again, and finally, she still didn't refuse again, "You can only eat one piece, it's late, and then you eat sweets, it's easy to break your teeth."

Although Paula doesn't know how to be a good mother, she instinctively thinks that eating pastries at night is not good for children.

Zhao Xing'er, who had always felt that her mother was indifferent to her, was very excited when she heard her mother's words of concern, and nodded hurriedly, her eyes even containing teardrops, "Okay, mother"

Zhao Xing'er was originally on her father, but she also rushed to the chestnut cake in a hurry.

Looking at his happy daughter, the third prince couldn't help but say, "In a blink of an eye, Xing'er is so big." Over the years, you have been far away from your homeland, are you still used to it in the house? ”

The third prince, Zhao Hongli, looked at Princess Paula affectionately, but unfortunately, he did not see the same affection on Princess Paula's face.

Paula looked at the third prince who suddenly fell into a memory, and instinctively resisted.

In her heart, Princess Paula, who had no good impression of her husband, always felt that the sudden appearance of the third prince today obviously had his purpose. Thinking of the panic in the house recently, I am afraid that the three princes are not here to deliver chestnut cakes tonight, but to ask for it.

Princess Paula didn't speak indifferently, and although Zhao Xing'er on the side had been eating chestnut cakes, she still cared about her parents' conversation.

Zhao Xing'er looked at her mother's indifference and decided to help her father.

So, grabbing a piece of chestnut cake, he ran to his mother Paula to offer treasure, "Mother, this chestnut cake is delicious." Sweet and soft, dense and tender, you can taste it too."

As he spoke, he handed a piece of chestnut cake to his mother's mouth, and shouted, "Taste it, it's delicious."

Princess Paula looked at the child's little hands stained with oil, and unconsciously felt a little disgusted, and her eyes were also displeased.

But Zhao Xinger vigorously gave the chestnut cake that she thought was delicious to share with her mother.

Anna on the side, secretly said in her heart, seeing that the third prince had been staring at the mother and daughter, if at this time, the princess behaved rudely, wouldn't it make the county lord sad and embarrassed the third prince?

So, Anna hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to pull the little county lord over, "County lord, Madame has already had dinner." Enjoy it for yourself."

"No, Xing'er wants to share it with her mother if she has good things" The stubborn Zhao Xing'er was not as obedient as usual, and insisted on delivering the chestnut cake to Princess Paula's mouth.

Paula looked at her daughter Zhao Xing'er, with a pair of big watery eyes and a pair of greasy white fat hands, shining in the candlelight.

Although Paula instinctively refused, she finally relented when she looked at her daughter's almost eager eyes, approached her daughter's little hand, and took a small bite of the pastry along the edge.

Although it was only a small bite, it made Zhao Xing'er very happy, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, is it delicious?" ”

Since she had already eaten the pastry against her heart, Paula would not say anything more to ruin her happiness, nodded and said, "It's delicious"

Anna was on the sidelines, finally breathing a sigh of relief. She was also afraid that with the character of a princess, she would refuse the sweets offered by the little princess in person, and such a big war was about to break out.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

Zhao Hongli, the third prince on the side, looked at the mother and daughter's "happy" appearance, and couldn't help but want to join in, so he said with a slightly sentimental expression, "Xing'er only likes her mother, not her father?" Why do you only share good things with your mother? ”

Hearing the words of the third prince, Princess Paula couldn't help but look back at the man with a stunned expression.

Princess Paula's expression seemed to be looking at a childish ghost, which made Zhao Hongli a little embarrassed, and the expression on her face was unnatural.

Zhao Xing'er reacted, and was a little embarrassed to take the pastry and please his father, "Father, you can also taste it." It's delicious."

Zhao Xing'er didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and instead of changing a piece of pastry from the plate, she sent the pastry that Princess Paula had bitten to the mouth of the third prince.

Zhao Hongli originally thought that his daughter was in a hurry, but when he saw that his daughter kept urging and her eyes flashed, she realized that this was her daughter's deliberate doing.

So, he didn't open his mouth, and bit down directly on the edge of the already slightly missing corner, "delicious"

The third prince, Zhao Hongli, sighed, and he didn't know if the chestnut cake was really delicious or for other reasons, in short, it tasted delicious.

The man's words made Princess Paula frown, looking at the pretentious expressions of the father and daughter, she always felt that there was some tacit understanding between the father and daughter in front of her.

Sure enough, Zhao Xing'er patted her head with some annoyance, peeked at her mother and said, "Oops, I forgot." I gave my father the chestnut cake that my mother had bitten just now."

Princess Paula didn't think it was such a big deal, but the third prince Zhao Hongli said with an ambiguous expression, "Is it?" It's no wonder that the pastry was so sweet and delicious."

After speaking, he deliberately smacked his lips, with an unfinished expression.

Princess Paula noticed the man's hot eyes and was unmoved. I realized that the daughter was so willful just now, it turned out that she was helping her father. So, with a cold face, he said to Anna, "It's not too early, and the county lord should rest." ”

Zhao Xinger was originally very happy, thinking that her actions could enhance the communication between her parents. However, when the mother's face fell, and she told Anna to take her, she knew that she was not happy.

She didn't dare to argue anymore, so she could only give her father a reluctant expression, and after saluting her parents, she left with Anna.

Seeing that his daughter's efforts were in vain, Zhao Hongli was silent, and only after a long time did he speak, "Xing'er is older, smart, and very sensitive. Even if you have an opinion about me, you shouldn't treat her like that. She could feel it."
