It snowed again in the evening, but only for a while, and then stopped after a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the thick blood on the ground.

Su Ziyao sat on the swing with the pastry, looked at Xiaohe with an anxious look, and couldn't help laughing:

"You girl, why do you have this expression today?"

Xiaohe hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Princess, after you went to the kitchen today to teach the cook and the master to refine fine salt, Xiao Si burned a fire at the door of the stove for a day."

"I hear it's not resting yet, princess...... He's tired today. ”

Has it been a fire for a day?

It seems that after knowing how to refine fine salt, they are excited.

Su Ziyao smiled: "Distressed? ”

Xiaohe: "He...... He has a waist injury that has been discounted before, so it will hurt when he sits for a long time. ”

Su Ziyao: "So that's the case, I still have a bottle of medicine for pain in the cabinet, you can take it and wipe it for him, maybe it will relieve some pain." ”

Xiaohe's eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you, princess." ”

Su Ziyao: "......"

How do you feel that from the beginning, Xiaohe was worried about that bottle of medicine?

Shortly after Xiaohe left, the door was pushed open again.

Su Ziyao chewed the pastry: "Why, you came back so soon?" ”

I heard a slightly trembling voice from behind: "Princess......"

Su Ziyao was stunned.

This voice is Lu Shaoxuan......

Su Ziyao immediately looked back.

Lu Shaoxuan is no longer the child who wears shabby clothes and has a timid face.

His hair stood high and stood up, he was dressed in a black black robe, wearing a brown fox fur, and his delicate face had a resolute look and a youthful atmosphere.

It seems that these days, the second prince treats him very well.

Su Ziyao stopped shaking her feet, slowly got up holding the pastry, and said with a smile:

"Lu Shaoxuan? What are you doing here? ”

The woman in the distance was dressed in a cyan plush dress, draped in a white fox fur, her hair was scattered on her shoulders at random, smiling, standing in the snow, in the faint light, like a legendary holy snow girl.

Unreal, yet beautiful.

Lu Shaoxuan stood in the distance a little stunned, hanging his head, not knowing how to deal with himself.

He has been reading poetry and books for so many years, and he has long developed a resolute and peaceful temperament, so both in the past and now.

In the face of those who bully him or flatter him, he can deal with it calmly, and his heart is as calm as water.

He has always prided himself on his composure.

But only when facing her.

Su Ziyao.

I don't know when it started, as long as he saw Su Ziyao, he couldn't stop the fluctuations in his heart.

All the calms surrendered and were defeated.

When she was in prison, he tossed and turned, worried, and lost ten pounds in a few days.

When she was injured, he couldn't suppress the discomfort in his heart, and inexplicably ran to the Hanlian Courtyard to guard.

Now that she has been demoted from the palace, he can hardly bear the torment in his heart and wants to escape from the palace.

This is a move he would never have done before.

Just when he was almost collapsing, the second prince found him.

took him out of the palace, and even gave him the honor of coming to see Su Ziyao.

He originally thought that after meeting Su Ziyao, he would have a lot to say.

But when he saw Su Ziyao's thin and calm face, he couldn't say anything.

The tension was like a ball of gas, trapping him tightly, and even breathing became a problem.

All that recurred in his mind was one sentence: She's fine...... She's really fine......

The stone in my heart finally fell.

Su Ziyao saw that Lu Shaoxuan didn't speak, so he walked over and brought the pastry in his hand to him:

"Would you like something to eat?"

Lu Shaoxuan's whole body stiffened, but he still raised his wooden fingers, picked up a piece of pastry, and put it stiffly in his mouth.

Feeling some sweet taste in his mouth, he finally came back to his senses:

"It's ...... Delicious......"

Su Ziyao smiled: "What I made is naturally delicious." ”

Lu Shaoxuan's mouth opened slightly: "This is what the princess did herself?" ”

For a while, he only felt that the pastry in his mouth was the best thing in the world.

I didn't want to swallow it for a long time.

Su Ziyao nodded, seeing that Lu Shaoxuan was a little wooden, his expression was stiff, and he couldn't help asking:

"When did you come here? It's snowing just now, isn't it cold? ”

She reached out and touched his nose, although it was not as cold as before, it was still very cold: "Why did you come here so late?" ”

Lu Shaoxuan smelled the faint incense between Su Ziyao's fingers, and his heart beat fiercely a few times, and only after a long time did he say:

"No...... Not cold......"

"When I first came over, there was an umbrella, so it wasn't cold."

"The prince said that I could come to see you tonight, so I came over......"

Su Ziyao smiled: "Actually, you can come over tomorrow, it will be much warmer at noon or in the afternoon." ”

But Lu Shaoxuan was afraid that the second prince would change his words tomorrow.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Su Ziyao.

What's more, if he can come to see Su Ziyao today, he will definitely not delay it until tomorrow.

But he didn't say anything, just smiled stupidly: "It's okay, it's not very cold." ”

Su Ziyao looked at his cold red face and couldn't help laughing:

"If it weren't for your red face, I might have believed it."

Lu Shaoxuan touched his face a little woodenly, rubbed it for a long time to recover his temperature, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly:

"By the way, why are you sitting outside on such a cold day? Isn't it cold? ”

Su Ziyao took a breath of heat and smiled: "It's not cold." ”

Lu Shaoxuan looked at her smiling face and lost his mind for a long time.

How can there be such a gentle woman in this world?

"Ding~ Lu Shaoxuan's favorability has increased by 10%, and the current favorability is 38%, please continue to work hard ......"

Su Ziyao poured him a cup of hot tea, and then sat on the swing again, shaking it gently.

Lu Shaoxuan took a sip of hot tea, stared at Su Ziyao's skirt with dead eyes, and said after a long time: "I heard...... Is it the princess, you told the second prince that I can afford the responsibility of a military advisor? ”

"How can the little He De be so important to the princess?"

Su Ziyao took a bite of the pastry:

"Because in this world, you are the only one who can afford the position of military advisor."

"I have known from the beginning that you are very intelligent, and you are familiar with the art of war, and you have always hoped to serve your country, but you have never met your talent."

"Now, you're ready to show off your skills."

Lu Shaoxuan's face turned red: "Princess......"

In the past, he had only one idea about Su Ziyao, capricious, arrogant and unreasonable, very childlike.

I don't want Su Ziyao to know everything about him and know everything.

When he was still in this national crisis, he was willing to give him a chance, thinking that there was no one better for him than Su Ziyao in this world.

Lu Shaoxuan got up, waved his fox fur, and then knelt in front of Su Ziyao:

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness."

Su Ziyao helped him weakly: "Don't thank me." ”

"If you really want to thank yourself, thank yourself, I also want to thank you, thank you for your great ambition and willingness to dedicate yourself to the country and the people."

Thank you...... He?

Lu Shaoxuan's nose was sour, and he only felt a warm breath emanating from the bottom of his heart.

It seemed that all the cold in this world had disappeared, and it was so warm that he fainted a little.

It was snowing again.

When it fell on my face, I only felt cold.

Su Ziyao put on the hat on the fox fur, showed a small face, and looked at Lu Shaoxuan with a smile: "Are you here today just to thank me?" ”

"Now that I have understood your gratitude, you should go back quickly, for it will be difficult to walk after a while when the snow is heavy."

Lu Shaoxuan's eyebrows and eyes lost his mind for a moment, and then he lowered his head in some frustration:

"Small...... The little ones are never afraid to walk hard at night......"

The road he has traveled since he was a child is much more difficult and difficult than the snowy road now.

And at that time, he was alone, and there was nothing else to think.

And now, he has a little joy in his heart.

It is Su Ziyao.

Su Ziyao: "Huh? ”

Lu Shaoxuan: "In this world, the little one is only afraid of one thing......"

Su Ziyao: "What's the matter?" Are you afraid to go into battle and kill the enemy? ”

"It's okay, there is General Liao, he will protect you, you will be fine."

Lu Shaoxuan shook his head desperately: "No...... I'm afraid...... I'll never see you again. ”

Not long after, Su Ziyao learned that compared to losing her, Lu Shaoxuan was actually more afraid of another thing.

It is the loss of power.

Almost no one can get out unharmed by the temptation of power.

Early the next morning, Su Ziyao got up early and went to the kitchen.

At that time, the cooks and masters had already begun to cook cakes and steamed buns, and most of the porridge was about to be boiled.

Seeing Su Ziyao coming, everyone saluted before continuing to do the work at hand.

Su Ziyao saw that there was nothing she could do to help, so she looked around.

Yesterday they did refine a lot of fine salt, and now even the usual ones are fine salt.

"This ...... Is this white flour? ”

Su Ziyao looked at the sack of white noodles lying behind the door, and said with some shock.

Doesn't it mean that you can't afford to eat white noodles anymore?

Mother Qi smiled: "We are afraid that the princess will not be used to eating this chaff noodles, so we made a special trip to the street yesterday to fight a bag of white noodles and came back." ”

"From now on, the princess will have white flour to eat."

Su Ziyao smiled helplessly: "Actually, there is nothing you can't get used to." ”

"You don't have to make a special trip to buy some white noodles for me."

In modern times, although I have suffered a lot, I have never eaten bran noodles.

Because of Yuan Longping's grandfather, there is white rice and white noodles everywhere.

It is naturally best to have white noodles to eat now.

It was also after coming to Dali Temple that she realized how well she had lived in the past.

It's just that at that time, I didn't know how to cherish it.

A cook next to her shook her head:

"The princess has made so many contributions to our Dali Temple, why shouldn't she eat bran buns with us."

"And the princess taught us to refine fine salt, and saved a lot of money to buy fine salt, which is enough to buy a lot of white noodles."

Su Ziyao nodded thoughtfully:

"Didn't you say that you bought this little jar of fine salt here? Why do you spend so much money? ”

No matter how expensive it is, it can't be like that.

The master who was opening the pot of porridge looked up at Su Ziyao, pondered for a moment before saying:

"I don't know, princess, but every month we buy a lot of fine salt."

Su Ziyao looked up and down for a week:

"Huh? Lots of fine salt? I don't see any other fine salt anywhere. ”

The master touched his head in embarrassment:

"Those fine salts are hidden in the room of Lord Qing of Dali Temple, only his small kitchen can eat, and the rest of the people can only eat coarse salt."

"Don't talk about us, let's just say that Lord Shaoqing of Dali Temple can only eat coarse salt with us."

It is precisely because of this that Shaoqing of Dali Temple rarely eats in Dali Temple.

Most of the time, I will go home and open a small stove.

If it weren't for Su Ziyao's arrival, he wouldn't have come to Dali Temple so early every day to wait for dinner.
