After Qi Huan got into the carriage, he couldn't wait to open the food box.

Inside is a neatly stacked plum blossom cake, and as soon as the box is opened, you can smell the cold fragrance of plum blossoms.

It also looks very tasty.

Although Xiaofuzi said that it was a reward from the prince, Qi Huan knew that it was Ke Xi who borrowed the prince's hand and sent the plum blossom cake to him.

The little girl still remembered him, but for some unknown reason, the little girl had no way to come to see him.

The little girl was still thinking about him, just as he was thinking about the little girl all the time.

Although Qi Huan felt sorry that he didn't see the little girl, the little girl made him a snack with her own hands......

Qi Huan felt a little comforted in his heart.

In a happy mood, I picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and put it in my mouth.

“……”

Qi Huan looked at the plum blossom cake that was still half left in his hand and fell into deep thought.

With a mouthful in your mouth, swallow, or not......

It's a tough choice!

In the end, Qi Huan still put half of the plum blossom cake in his hand into his mouth, and swallowed it in three or two together with the one he had held in his mouth before.

poured himself another cup of tea, and poured four or five cups in a row, and Qi Huan felt a little better.

Then he looked at the plum blossom cake left in the food box and fell into deep thought again.

It looks good and smells good, but how can it suddenly change when it tastes?

Until he returned to the mansion, Qi Huan still couldn't figure out this problem.

After returning to the house, Qi Huan put the food box on the table, then sat down, staring at the plum blossom cake in the food box with a deep gaze.

To eat, or not to eat?

That's a problem.

Don't eat? But after all, this is the little girl's mind, the little girl, as the princess of the princess, has only a handful of opportunities to cook, maybe this is the first time the little girl cooks for him to make snacks, if he doesn't eat, wouldn't it be a waste of the little girl's mind?

Eat?

“……”

Qi Huan felt that he couldn't reach out and couldn't speak.

In the end, Qi Huan decided to take a bath first.

When Qi Huan went to bathe, the housekeeper Comber walked in and saw the plum blossom cake on the table, thinking that it was leftover from this morning, Xiao Si forgot to clean it up.

Secretly blamed Xiao Si for being careless, and he didn't know if he could eat it now, so he picked up a piece and took a bite to try it.

“……”

This pastry has only been left out for a day, and the taste has become so serious?

Fortunately, he tasted it first, what if he let an adult eat it and accidentally eat it and spoil his stomach!

……

After Qi Huan finished bathing, he wiped his hair casually, and when his hair stopped dripping, he stopped caring about them, and went back to the house with his hair draped, intending to get rid of the plum blossom cake.

The little girl's heart cannot be wasted.

When he returned to the house, he found that the food box he had placed on the table was gone, along with the plum blossom cake.

“？？？”

Qi Huan called Xiao Si and pointed to the empty tabletop, "When I came back, I put a food box here, and there was a plate of plum blossom cake in it, why was it missing?" ”

Xiao Si thought about it for a while: "It's the housekeeper, the little one saw the housekeeper coming out of the adult's room, carrying a food box in his hand, which should be the one the adult said." ”

It just so happened that Comber was back, empty-handed, and Qi Huan's eyelids jumped.

Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Comber appear, and hurriedly called out to Comber, "Butler, the adults are looking for you!" ”

Comber stepped forward, "My lord, what are you looking for me?" ”

Qi Huan: "I heard Xiao Si say that Comber you took a food box from my house, where did you take it?" ”

"My lord, I was about to tell you about it!" At the mention of this, Comber got angry and glared at Xiao Si: "I said you, are you usually too good to adults to be so lazy and lazy that you didn't even clean up the pastries this morning, and they all tasted bad at night, fortunately I tasted it first, otherwise the adults would have eaten bad stomachs, and you feel good!" ”

Qi Huan: ......

Xiao Si felt very innocent: "Butler, it wasn't left in the morning, it was brought back from outside by an adult!" ”

Comber looked at Qi Huan, and Qi Huan nodded.

Comber was very embarrassed, and a little puzzled, "It turned out that the adult brought it back from outside, but this pastry has changed its taste, where did the adult get it?" ”

“……”

How do I explain that?

In the end, Qi Huan decided to change the topic and asked Comber, "Then Comber, where did you take all those plum blossom cakes?" ”

"I can't eat this plum blossom cake, I was going to feed it to the dog, but the dog ate it and spit it out, saying that he wouldn't eat a second bite, so I had to throw them away."

“……”

Okay, now there is no need to worry about whether to eat or not, if the little girl asks, he will also have an explanation.

So the little girl can't blame him, right?

After all, he has the heart to eat the little girl's heart, but it is difficult to disobey the will of God!

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Qi Huan happily asked Comber and Xiao Si to go down and prepare for bed.

……

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial court closed the pen again, and people came and went on the streets, all preparing for the festival.

Compared with the red faces of other people, the people in Xu's mansion looked gloomy and bleak.

Xu Shangshu is still running to clear his name.

It's just that now he wants to find someone to help, but those people are afraid to avoid it.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Xu Shangshu still felt cold.

Xu Minran was also depressed because she was worried about Xu Shangshu.

After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Xu Shangshu's face was getting worse day by day, Xu Minran still decided to go to Zhao Jingcheng for help.

Zhao Jingcheng comforted Xu Minran, "You don't have to worry, I'm also thinking of a way, I won't ignore your grandfather." ”

said that he was thinking of a way, but Xu Minran knew that if he just relied on Zhao Jingcheng or Zhao Guogong's mansion, it would be useless at all.

If the Zhao Guogong Mansion had this ability, Xu Shangshu would not have refused so simply when Zhao Jingcheng came to propose marriage!

Xu Minran looked at Zhao Jingcheng hesitantly.

"Jingcheng, it's better to ...... Are you going to ask for peace? ”

Zhao Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, making sure that he had heard it correctly just now, and Minran asked him to go and ask for King Ping!

looked at Xu Minran in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "You asked me to go to King Ping?" Do you know what conditions I have to agree to if I go to the king of peace? ”

Xu Minran didn't dare to look at Zhao Jingcheng.

She naturally knows that Zhao Jingcheng will not hide anything from her, and will tell her no matter whether it is important or not.

She knew that Zhao Jingcheng was doing things for King Ping, but the emperor suppressed other princes very much, and King Ping had only been crowned king for a long time, and there were not many forces in his hands, and they were all used on the blade.

Zhao Jingcheng has the ability, but he hasn't had time to show it, he is dispensable in King Ping, and he has no merits.

If he went to ask King Ping to do something at this time, Zhao Jingcheng would have to pay some price.

Xu Minran is very clear about this price.

Thinking of what would happen after Zhao Jingcheng went to King Ping, Xu Minran also felt very uncomfortable, and her tears burst all of a sudden.

looked at Zhao Jingcheng, with tears in his eyes: "I don't know the consequences, but if I don't go to King Ping, what will my grandfather do?" ”

So you're going to sacrifice me for your grandfather's sake?

Looking at Xu Minran, who was raining with pear blossoms, Zhao Jingcheng finally swallowed back the question that came to his lips.

In the end, I was still reluctant to lose my temper with her.

Zhao Jingcheng's tone was harsh: "I promise you." ”

As long as you don't regret it.
