When he arrived at the door of the guest house, he saw that the door of the guest house was open, and the maids stood in front of the courtyard and saluted him respectfully.

Xiao Jingchen asked, "What about Miss Lin?" ”

A maid replied: "Miss Lin is in the house trying on the clothes to wear when she enters the palace tomorrow, the prince will wait a minute, and the slave will go in and report." ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded, and the maid saluted and turned around and entered the courtyard.

After a while, the door to the main house creaked open.

Xiao Jingchen heard the voice, turned around and looked, and saw Lin Ruan dressed in a azure dress, dressed simply and solemnly, and hired Tingting to come to him.

In an instant, Xiao Jingchen was a little trance-like.

He always knew that Lin Ruan was not bad, but he had never seen Lin Ruan dressed up like this, this dress was very feminine, which neutralized her sharp and exposed temperament a lot, adding a bit of girlish agility and femininity.

A gust of night wind hit, Lin Ruan's hair was flying, and the corners of her skirt were turning, as if a fairy from the sky had descended on this mortal world in the night.

Lin Ruan used the set of court etiquette taught to her by the two grandmothers today, slowly walked to Xiao Jingchen's two meters, and lightly performed a standard etiquette towards Xiao Jingchen: "I've seen the prince." ”

When Xiao Jingchen was called back to his senses by this "prince", he was shocked to realize that he had just seen a little stupid. However, he has always had a straight face, and his expression is not exposed, so no one present noticed that he was abnormal.

Said lightly: "No need to be polite. ”

After looking at Lin Ruan carefully, he nodded and said, "Yes, I thought you might not be able to learn, but now it seems that I underestimated you." ”

Lin Ruan stood up and said with a generous smile: "The two grandmothers taught very hard, and I benefited a lot. ”

The two grandmothers who followed her hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Xiao Jingchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "The two grandmothers have worked hard, you go to eat first, and the housekeeper will arrange a carriage and horse to send the two back to the palace later." ”

Mama thanked her and withdrew.

He turned his head to look at Lin Ruan: "You haven't had dinner yet, let's eat some together?" ”

Lin Ruan also had something to ask Xiao Jingchen, so he looked at the dress on his body: "Then I have to ask Xiao Ye to wait for me, this dress will be worn into the palace tomorrow, it is better for me to change it first, so as not to get dirty again." ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded, turned around and asked someone to bring the food here.

Lin Ruan went back to the house to change his dress and came out, and the two went to the dining room one after the other.

When Xiao Jingchen was eating, he couldn't speak, and Lin Ruan saw that he was eating so attentively, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth and concentrate on eating.

After the servants removed the food, Xiao Jingchen spoke: "If there is anything you want to ask, say it." ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "I want to ask about entering the palace tomorrow, how is the temperament of the emperor and the queen mother, and what do I need to prepare?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said: "With me here, you don't have to worry about this." The emperor is a more serious person, but he will not be moody, whatever he asks, you answer truthfully. It doesn't matter if you get it wrong, I'm here. The Queen Mother is a very easy-going person, the strawberries and peaches you gave before were very pleasing to her, and this time you will make a great contribution to the court, the Queen Mother will definitely not embarrass you. ”

After listening to this, Lin Ruan felt a lot more relieved, and said, "Do I need to hand over the ice-making recipe?" ”

Ice is not an ordinary thing, and as long as it is done well, the profits can be staggering. It's not that she didn't want to make her own ice to sell, but there are some things that she can't do with her status.

So she thought about it and felt that she could be more favored by handing over this ice-making recipe to the imperial court.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at her: "What does this recipe represent, do you know it?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "Of course, a huge profit." However, some money has to be earned and spent. I know very well that with my status, even if I have Xiao Ye as a backer, the profits of this piece must not be touched. No one may think of anything in my ice shop for the time being, but after a long time, it is inevitable that someone will discover the secret. So I gave away the recipe, and as long as the court allowed me to make my own ice for my shop, I wouldn't feel sorry for the recipe. ”

Xiao Jingchen glanced at her appreciatively, he also wanted to mention this matter to her before, but he was afraid that she would think too much, so he didn't speak. I didn't expect this girl to be quite rational and long-term enough.

So he promised: "I will fight for your own interests." ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "Then thank you Xiao Ye." ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has been suffering from a bitter summer recently, and she has been losing her appetite, and the emperor is very worried. ”

Lin Ruan's eyes lit up: "Thank you Xiao Ye for reminding me, I know what to do." ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded with a smile, got up and said, "If you need anything, just tell the maids." Get your rest early and leave tomorrow before dawn. ”

Lin Ruan responded, sent the people out of the door, and then asked the maids to prepare the materials and tools for making ice cream and cakes.

After a busy job, Lin Ruan didn't fall asleep until midnight.

When she was woken up, she felt as if she had just fallen asleep for a while.

When I woke up, it was still dark outside.

Lin Ruan didn't sleep enough at all, so he was dragged up and began to freshen up.

After surviving, Lin Ruan was tossed awake even if he was sleepy.

After packing up, Yahuan led her out.

There was a soft sedan chair waiting outside the door, and Lin Ruan got on the sedan chair and was carried to the front of the mansion for a while.

Xiao Jingchen was already waiting in front of the gate, and when he saw her come out, he said, "You get in the carriage and sit." ”

Lin Ruan nodded, got into the car and took a look, only to see that there were two big food boxes in the car, and she didn't need to open them to know that what was in them was the result of her busy work until midnight last night.

As soon as he sat down, the carriage began to move.

The streets of Kyoto are very smooth, and the car is very soft, Lin Ruan herself didn't sleep enough, so she swayed so slowly, and after a while, she shook her drowsiness out again, but she didn't dare to sleep, for fear of messing up her hair, so she held on all the way, so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting.

Xiao Jingchen's palace was not far from the palace, and the carriage stopped after walking for a while.

Lin Ruan lifted the curtain and tried to open his eyes and asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

Xiao Jingchen looked back and saw her drowsy appearance, and couldn't help but want to laugh. "It's here, come down."

Lin Ruan nodded, lifted the corner of the skirt and prepared to get out of the car, who knew that this person was very sleepy, and his hands and feet were not very obedient, this dress was different from the improved one she usually wore, the style was very complicated, Lin Ruan accidentally put his feet on his skirt, and the whole person slammed into the car.

Seeing that she was in close contact with the ground, suddenly an arm reached over, wrapped it around her waist, and fished her off.

Lin Ruan was shocked, he finally woke up from drowsiness, and found that his posture with Xiao Jingchen was too intimate, so he hurriedly pushed him away and stood up.
