Hearing this, Diecui covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Miss, you have forgotten that before the slave maid was sent to serve the young lady, the family planted tea, but because the tax on the land was too heavy, and the tea could not be sold at a good price, the slave maid could only be sold." ”

If it weren't for Diecui's words, Su Jiao would be pampered in her current life, and she would have almost forgotten that there were still many deficiencies in ancient life.

As soon as these words came out, Su Jiao's face suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong on the side felt that it was normal, and they didn't act too sad.

After thinking about it, Su Jiao made up her mind, reached out and solemnly patted Diecui's shoulder twice, Diecui turned her head inexplicably, and just met her firm gaze.

"Let's not mention this kind of sad thing in the future, with me for a day, I will defend you for a day, let's eat and drink spicy food together."

"Well, the slave has known that Miss is a good person since she was a child." Diecui's eyes flickered, naturally she was moved, and she nodded her head obediently in her heart.

Su Jiao also smiled, after sitting on her knees like this for a long time, her knees really hurt, she changed to sit cross-legged, and then when she raised her eyes again, she happened to see Xiao Huai'an who was talking to Xu Yin over there.

"Your Majesty has a habit of taking a nap, and after waking up from a nap, you must drink the awakening soup, so you will have Steward Lao Xu to help prepare it."

Xiao Huai'an said, and was about to leave, Xu Yi also agreed, but suddenly remembered something, and rushed up and arched his hand, "Yes, Your Majesty's habit, the second prince has talked to the contemptible people every day, but His Royal Highness the second prince is still in the garden, and the contemptible people need to take a detour to bring a decoction for His Royal Highness, if Lord Xiao meets His Royal Highness, please convey it, and the contemptible person will return immediately." ”

People in the world are almost all high and low, but Xiao Huai'an has implemented an iron-fisted policy since he sat in this position, but he has treated pig people who are favored or not favored in front of the emperor equally.

Although he looked a little cold, he was the most trustworthy, so Xu Yi had the courage to talk to him.

Xiao Huai'an is actually not easy to get along with, and there is no need to ask him why he believes in himself at the moment, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Xu Yi bowed to him gratefully, and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen behind.

"Righteousness and courage are the foundation of happiness, if those who are afraid or even slander you see that you are so good at talking and kind-hearted, I don't know how they will slap them in the face."

Su Jiao's laughing voice came from the front, Xiao Huai'an looked in the direction, and saw her smiling in the shadows, as if the years were quiet, which made him feel a sense of warmth in his heart, and this scene was deeply imprinted in his eyes.

And because of the Xi Shi in his lover's eyes, he gorgeously forgot that Su Jiao was surrounded by three other maids.

"It's the hottest time of the day, why did you come out and not rest in your room, so you didn't do it to tease me? Be careful that you don't sleep well on a bumpy carriage on the road. ”

Forget about Diecui, Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong are equivalent to growing up next to Xiao Huai'an, looking at Xiao Huai'an's eyes and only rushing towards Su Jiao alone, the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness and happiness for him in each other's eyes.

Su Jiao also forgot that there were still people watching here, and only quietly watched Xiao Huai'an come and sit down, smiling very happily. "I really don't know the hearts of good people, people specially praise you, and say that I am making fun of you. You've been busy in the sun for so long, it's time to get hot, take a sip of herbal tea and moisten your throat. ”

Let's say it, Su Jiao just remembered to sweep it to the side, but the four cups had already been evenly divided, so she poured her own cup and handed it over.

Seeing this situation, Diecui was almost surprised, because whether it was Su Jiao in the original book or Su Jiao in the movie, they didn't like people to use the utensils they used.

But fortunately, Mu Rong, who had sharp eyes next to her, hurriedly covered Diecui's mouth with Mu Hibiscus, and the three of them quietly retreated with great eyesight.

"I don't have anything, where is it so expensive, otherwise how can I be an errand by Your Majesty's side." Xiao Huai'an's lips were furrowed, and there was a faint hint of a smile, although he spoke like this, he still drank Su Jiao's tea.

Su Jiao smiled and watched him finish drinking, sat for a while, and unconsciously became cramped again, looking at Xiao Huai'an's face, before he spoke faintly.

"Actually, when I was outside just now, I saw you and the third prince escorting Your Majesty back, but what is the reason, Your Majesty wants to reprimand you in public, you have been with Your Majesty for so many years, so you can take care of it."

Halfway through the words, the expression on Xiao Huai'an's face suddenly became unclear, Su Jiao couldn't bear it, and thought he was angry, so she hurriedly waved her hand to explain comfortably.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to poke your scars, I just felt sorry for you."

"Feel sorry for me?"

This is the most common word between ordinary couples, or just ordinary friends, and today it suddenly broke into Xiao Huai'an's ears, which made him feel precious.

Xiao Huai settled down for a moment, almost thinking that he had misheard, so he blinked and asked again, "Are you concerned about me?" ”

"Does it make a difference? Isn't it clear what I just said? Su Jiao was stunned for a moment, asked back with an innocent and cute face, and then waved her hand again.

"None of this matters, whatever you want to understand Well, I just want to talk to you, persuade you not to drill the horns, although you are particularly favored by the emperor's side, but located on the top of the mountain, you must endure the very cold, you must not feel that you are really doing something bad, you must learn to adjust your mentality, you know."

Su Jiao's face was full of concern, which made Xiao Huaian very moved, but the long list of words she said made him a little half-understood. Xiao Huai'an retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and secretly thought about what Su Jiao meant when he said this, so he nodded.

"Naturally, I haven't had a weak mentality to this extent, if I want to sit in a high position for a long time, I will naturally suffer some grievances, anyway, this will not be the first time."

Hearing this, Su Jiao sat up straight meaningfully, took a sharp breath, and picked up the small teapot again to pour him a full cup.

"You see you're talking again, you've done it perfectly enough, as long as you're worthy of it, why don't you care about other people's accusations."

"Even if Your Majesty still has any dissatisfaction with you in the future, you will only regard it as an encouragement to you, do you feel much better when you think about it?"

Su Jiao raised her head, looked at Xiao Huai'an's eyes that she didn't understand, and actually thought that he had something in her heart, and she became more and more proud and proud, and continued firmly.

"In short, at least in my heart, I believe that what you do must be the most perfect, and no one else can compare to you, if you have anything unhappy in your heart, come back and tell me."

Seeing Su Jiao's words like this, Xiao Huai'an's eyes rolled, and he probably guessed something, and for the first time, he couldn't help but laugh unabashedly in front of her.

"No one has ever said such things to me in my life, you are different, could it be that you forgot the agreement we made on the day of our wedding, or do you say that you ...... first"

"Even if it is an ordinary friend, it should be done to this job, not to mention that we are now a community with a shared future for mankind, sharing honor and disgrace, I naturally have to care more about you."

Before Xiao Huai'an's words were finished, Su Jiao immediately took over the conversation as a matter of course, and what she said was very reasonable, making it impossible to refute it.

When the words landed, seeing the obviously disappointed look on Xiao Huai'an's face, Su Jiao still didn't understand, and she didn't realize how disappointing what she just said was.

"What's the matter, what did I say wrong, or do you think of something unhappy, say it and I'll enlighten you."

"No need," Xiao Huai'an waved his hand, and when he looked at Su Jiao again, all the emotions on his face had been swept away.

"If the chestnut is green, it is covered with long thorns, which makes it difficult for people to get close to, but when the time is ripe, it will bloom on its own, and there is no hurry at this time."

"What do you mean?" Well, why did you suddenly mention fruit? Su Jiao narrowed her eyes, no matter what she thought in her mind, she couldn't think of any allusions about chestnuts.

"Do you want to eat chestnuts?"

"No, I mean to tell you that I always remember the fireworks that night." Xiao Huai'an pursed his mouth and shook his head, returned the cup to her, and got up and walked away.

Su Jiao held the cup in a daze, and could only see his back as he kept moving away.

Firework? It's really the same as chestnuts, it's all blown up.

Tilting her head slightly, Su Jiao still didn't think about other deeper places, and after putting away the teacup and teapot, she picked up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the root of the tree.

"Diecui, hibiscus, Murong, we should prepare to go back."

The sound was not loud, but it should be heard within a radius of ten paces, Su Jiao thought that the three of them were hiding behind a tree, but they didn't see a figure after turning around.

"Where did you go?" Su Jiao blinked and muttered, she really didn't find anyone, so she had to walk back alone.

However, because the lush trees here do not have any distinctive flowers, they can be used as signs, and Su Jiao took a turn under the big pine tree hugged by several people, and accidentally lost her way.

As you walk, the scenery on both sides becomes more and more different from when you came, and even the cobblestone path that can only be found by the pond is faintly visible.

Su Jiao suddenly felt inappropriate, turned over to the side, and saw a pavilion on the edge of the crescent-shaped pond, and there was a person sitting in a wheelchair under the pavilion, as if he was asleep, and he didn't move for a long time.
