Along the way, Qu Xiaoxiang in the carriage has been fighting against the food box, but he has looked left and right, up and down, and has not found anything famous.

Could it be that she is overthinking?

No, Lin Ruo's meaningful smile was clearly hinting at her, the answer she wanted was in this food box!

However, this seems to be an ordinary food box, and no matter how you look at it, there are only six crystal clear pieces of "treading snow and looking for plums" in it. Just as there is nothing hidden in a crystal clear pastry, there is no mechanism in this food box.

Qu Xiaoxiang was very depressed.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and she still hadn't figured out the fame.

Is it really too much for yourself?

It was just a farewell smile...... Is that all?

Qu Xiaoxiang pursed his mouth.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the butler had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"County Lord, Madame has an order, let you go to see her when you return home."

Mrs. Xuanlu wants to see her?

Qu Xiaoxiang "chuckled" in his heart.

This aunt is much stricter than her father!

After a long silence, Qu Xiaoxiang said to the housekeeper: "I'll go back to the room to change my clothes, and I'll go to see my aunt." ”

"County Lord," the butler stopped, "Madame said, don't care about these false courtesies, just let you go directly." ”

Qu Xiaoxiang was silent for a moment, roughly guessing Mrs. Xuanlu's intentions, and felt a little more uneasy in her heart.

I want to get away with it.

She thought she was acting secretly, sneaked into the ancestral shrine, and avoided everyone's eyes and ears, but unexpectedly, she still did not escape Mrs. Xuanlu's arrangement.

With a sigh, Qu Xiaoxiang said resignedly: "I know, the housekeeper will lead the way." ”

The food box in her hand was taken off the carriage by her, and it was too late to put it back again. The housekeeper's eyes were sharp, and he asked with a smile: "This food box, the county lord has never let go, but what snacks did you bring to the lady?" ”

"No, ......," Qu Xiaoxiang changed his words and said, "The housekeeper said that I was not so careful, this is a pastry prepared by Princess Rong, I think it tastes good, so Princess Rong left a box for me." Coincidentally, I can let my aunt taste it too! ”

"I heard that Princess Rong's craftsmanship is exquisite, and even the Queen Mother is full of praise, Madame will definitely like it."

The housekeeper greeted him with a smile, didn't say anything else, and led Qu Xiaoxiang to see Mrs. Xuanlu.

Along the way, Qu Xiaoxiang felt a little uneasy in his heart, holding the food box, and his fingers kept rubbing. Suddenly, the fingers seemed to rub against the bottom of the food box and turned up a small and inconspicuous corner.

The soft material seems to be ...... Paper?

Qu Xiaoxiang's heart jumped, and she glanced vigilantly at the housekeeper who was walking in front, and the two maidservants who had followed behind her, calculating the distance to Mrs. Xuanlu's wing in her heart, quietly and carefully grasping the small corner, slowly tearing it, and a thin piece of paper fell into her hand effortlessly.

The piece of paper is not big, Qu Xiaoxiang used a small movement that is not easy to detect, and used his fingers to dial the paper to the food box, and on the paper that was dyed the same color as the food box, two lines of handwriting were written: "Tang Gate, don't move." Deceive. Bo Yu. Water. ”

Nine words, divided into five keywords.

What does that mean?

Yu Guangxuan was about to go to Mrs. Xuanlu's courtyard, even if he hadn't figured out the meaning of the two lines of words that Lin Ruo had left on the note, Qu Xiaoxiang knew that he couldn't let people see it.

This was not difficult for her, and her fingertips deftly folded the paper in half twice, stuffed it into the cuffs, and silently followed the housekeeper a few more steps, waiting at the door, waiting for the housekeeper to report, and then entered Mrs. Xuanlu's room with the food box.

"Auntie!"

Qu Xiaoxiang had a well-behaved smile on his face, held the food box, put it in front of Mrs. Xuanlu, opened the lid, and said eagerly: "Auntie, this is Princess Rong's 'Treading Snow and Looking for Plums', it tastes good!" I specially snatched a box and came back to honor you! ”

Mrs. Xuanlu's expression was calm, she looked at Qu Xiaoxiang, and saw that the smile on Qu Xiaoxiang's face froze little by little, and swallowed her saliva nervously, before she smiled shallowly: "Even if Princess Rong has a good temper, you can't bully her like this, right?" ”

Qu Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, pouted and said, "Auntie, I'm joking, why are you serious?" ”

Mrs. Xuanlu smiled and said nothing.

"Auntie, you taste it, it tastes good!"

Qu Xiaoxiang sent the food box to Mrs. Xuanlu like a treasure, Mrs. Xuanlu glanced at her, and turned her eyes to the pastry in front of her, indeed, exquisitely.

Reaching out, he took a piece from the food box, brought it to his lips, and took a small bite. Even though Mrs. Xuanlu is a heroine who does not let her eyebrows on the battlefield, she is also a well-cultivated lady, and between her gestures, people can't find fault in her manners.

The taste of the pastry melted in her mouth, and Mrs. Xuanlu thought in her heart that it should be a horseshoe cake, although it tasted lighter than the ordinary horseshoe cake, but the smooth taste was much better than the horseshoe cake she had eaten.

Qu Xiaoxiang spared no effort to persuade: "Auntie, if you bite a little more inside, you must bite the flower inside!" ”

Mrs. Xuanlu glanced at Qu Xiaoxiang's eager gaze and took another bite into it. When I bited, I didn't feel anything stiff, and it seemed that I was still just biting into the water chestnut cake, but a crisp plum fragrance spread from my mouth. After the smooth and elastic water chestnut cake melted, it seemed that I did not feel like I had tasted the flowers embedded in it, but the fragrance that filled my mouth made people wonder if I had swallowed the plum blossoms embedded in it.

Such a doubt is that even Mrs. Xuanlu has not escaped.

But she hid her emotions very well, only a trace of imperceptible doubt flashed in her eyes.

However, Qu Xiaoxiang kept staring at Mrs. Xuanlu, so naturally she never missed it, so she said proudly: "Auntie, how is it?" ”

"It's really good, no wonder the Queen Mother likes Minhui so much." Mrs. Xuanlu smiled and nodded, looked at Qu Xiaoxiang, and changed her words, "You have been very close to Minhui recently-"

Didn't point out anything, just a meaningful word, a look with a deep meaning.

Qu Xiaoxiang's heart jumped, and the word "concealment" written on Lin Ruo's note suddenly appeared in his mind.

Deceive?

Who are you going to hide?

Is it Su Boyu who is following behind? Or Mrs. Xuanlu? Or everyone?

didn't accurately grasp what Lin Ruo meant, but was reminded many times that this matter would involve the safety of the Qu family, especially Mrs. Xuanlu's abnormal reaction to "Qu Lianyang", so Qu Xiaoxiang decided to hide it from Mrs. Xuanlu first.

So, what excuse should be used to prevaricate?

Qu Xiaoxiang thought quickly, and replied in his usual hearty tone: "It's not because aunt you look at her differently and love her very much!" I just thought about taking a closer look and seeing what this Princess Rong had to offer, if I could learn a little bit, so that my aunt wouldn't be so strict with me all the time, it would be better! ”

Mrs. Xuanlu watched quietly as Qu Xiaoxiang subconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes with her hand, and laughed softly.

Small Theatre:

Qu Xiaoxiang: My God, do you have such a small action when I am uneasy?

Mrs. Xuanlu: That's right.

Qu Xiaoxiang: Who else knows?

Zhen Nanhou: I know.

Qu Chun: I know.

Lin Ruo: I know that too.

Qu Xiaoxiang: (ΩДΩ) Is it only me who doesn't know?
