Chapter 31 Pastry
Meng Sihong replied: "The last general happened to be present that day to witness the whole process, and His Majesty was furious because of this matter, as a courtier, he should know everything and solve problems for His Majesty." ”
Since it was said that it was for the emperor, there was no idea of favoritism, Xiao Siyu's eyes couldn't help but sink, "The border is bitter and far away, Lord Meng took the order to return to Beijing all the way, and I will prepare a table and banquet for the adults to pick up the wind and wash the dust another day." ”
"Thank you, Prince."
Meng Sihong thanked him and did not prevaricate falsely. Xiao Siyu smirked even more, turned to Jiang Xi and said, "You have neglected your duties more than once, and now you don't have my permission to break into the school field privately, and you will go to get the board when you return home." If there is a recidivism, he will be killed with a cane. ”
Seeing that his expression didn't look like he was joking, Jiang Xi was so frightened that he hung his head and didn't dare to squeak again. Meng Sihong saw her fear and hurriedly explained: "Actually, the last general had a relationship with her at the Lantern Club, and also picked up her belongings. I happened to meet her today, so I asked her to come over and return the thing. I didn't want to cause her to leave her post without permission, the fault was at the end of the general, and I asked the prince to forgive her. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xi's eyes lit up, and his heart was simply happy. It's not a loss that the son of men, women and children in Manjing is too gentle and kind. On the other hand, Xiao Siyu smiled and said with an understanding face: "Since Master Meng asked, I will spare her life for the time being, don't you thank you?" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."
Jiang Xi hurriedly thanked him, followed Xiao Siyu when he turned to leave, walked a few steps and looked back at Meng Sihong again, his heart was warm. Xiao Siyu saw that she was a girl like Huaichun, and when she got into the carriage, she deliberately stopped and asked, "How handsome is Lord Meng?" ”
“…… Yes? ”
Jiang Xi didn't react for a while, and heard him snort coldly: "The young ladies of the family in Jingyang, including ordinary women and children, like him, don't you like it?" ”
Is this a taste of Jingyang City, the women like Meng Sihong and don't like him? It turns out that there is also jealousy among men.
Jiang Xi thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "The slave is superficial and obsessed with beauty, but His Royal Highness is better looking than Lord Meng." ”
The corners of his lips curled slightly, "Oh? So why does everyone like him and not me? ”
"Because His Highness is like the Nine Heavens Divine Moon, unattainable. is like a minion, who has always dared to hold His Highness in his heart, and did not dare to blaspheme at all. She laughed like a candied fruit, sweet and silky, and Xiao Siyu's heart was also like honey, and she couldn't help leaning over to her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you want to be bold and climb the moon?" ”
Jiang Xi's breathing was suddenly suffocated, and he smelled the good-smelling incense on his clothes close at hand, and his heart palpitated for a moment.
Your Highness, what does this mean?
She panicked and didn't know how to answer, and her mouth was choked several times, so she could only shrink her neck and look back at his smiling eyes. He didn't leave, and Jiang Xi didn't dare to breathe, until his face turned red and he was about to die, then he smiled and straightened up and got into the carriage.
Jiang Xi hurriedly took a few breaths, and when she looked up, she saw that the deaf pigeon was looking at her with some complicated eyes, which made her a little uncomfortable. On the way back to the East Palace, Jiang Xi was thinking about Xiao Siyu's words, His Royal Highness was teasing her?
But a humble minion, Xiao Siyu never paid attention to it. Until she entered the East Palace and Pei Wan'er visited, Xiao Siyu concentrated on dealing with her, and her words were full of ambiguous concern. Seeing that the two of them were intimate and on the right side, Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and helplessly knocked his head to laugh at himself: "Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you even have that kind of boundless thought." ”
How could a person like Xiao Siyu take a fancy to himself. Thanks to Pei Wan'er's blessing, idle people don't have to go in and out to serve, and everyone can also steal a little leisure. Jiang Xi simply moved a stool and sat in the courtyard of the next person, basking in the sun and eating melon seeds, the more boring he became, the more bored he was, the more he repeatedly recalled what happened in the morning when he entered the palace, as well as Meng Sihong.
Thinking of him, Jiang Xi couldn't help but feel hot on his face, which made Yueci, who came back from work, surprised: "Sister, will it be too hot for you to sit here, your face is red." ”
"Moon porcelain."
She put down the melon seeds in her hand and asked Yueci with a mysterious face, "If you want to repay a person for saving his life, what should he do?" ”
Yueci said: "What is played in the script is to make a promise with oneself. ”
"That's too early."
Jiang Xi's face turned even redder, and he was so ashamed that he covered his hot cheeks and simply described the other party. The status is noble, the martial arts are also high, and the birth is good-looking, and many women love it. How to repay the people of this paragraph. Yue Ci thought about it, and the first thing that came to mind was Xiao Siyu, and she was shocked: "Sister, do you like ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xi covered his mouth, "Shhhhhh It's good that you know it in your heart, don't say it, after all, I'm just a minion. ”
"I promise I won't talk nonsense."
Yueci nodded her head in promise, and then said: "Actually, at the Lantern Festival, I saw that he was a little different from his sister, but I didn't think much about it, it turned out that my sister also had the same love." Speaking of repayment, he is in a high position and has a good family background, and he must often see ordinary pearls and jade Langhuan, not in his eyes. The delicacies of the mountains and seas are not worth mentioning, hey! My sister might as well make some delicate snacks by herself, focusing on affection, and he must be happy. ”
Jiang Xi had an epiphany, by the way, Meng Sihong often needs to practice martial arts in the school field and inspect the imperial city, which will inevitably consume physical strength and go hungry. She repeatedly praised the cleverness of Yuezuki, so she stopped basking in the sun and went to the small kitchen to find a master to teach her how to make pastries. But she is good at embroidery and sewing, and it is really difficult for her to cook and make snacks, and she is unsuccessful in teaching and teaching, and the master almost smashed the pot in anger.
Jiang Xi is a person who has made up his mind that he will not give up easily, he continues to study, forgetting to sleep and eat every day, and even asks Yueci to help replace him when he is waiting for Xiao Siyu's meal. Xiao Siyu didn't see Jiang Xi this time, but Yueci came to try the dishes, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you here, Jiang Xi?" ”
She ...... She was not feeling well. ”
Thinking that he couldn't let Xiao Siyu know Jiang Xi's mind in advance, he panicked. Xiao Siyu was not bluffed, "The servants of the whole house, count her strength as the best, and she doesn't sneeze in the rain and cold water, how can she be uncomfortable for three days." What tricks is she playing, and what are you covering! ”
Hearing his warm and angry tone, Yueci immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins, sister is actually ...... I am learning to make pastries for His Highness in the kitchenette. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Siyu paused slightly in taking the teacup, "For me?" ”
"Yes. My sister said that she wanted to repay His Highness for saving his life, and after thinking about it, His Highness's status was noble and he lacked nothing, so he wanted to study and make snacks to repay His Highness. ”
Xiao Siyu's lips involuntarily rose in an arc, and she couldn't help asking, "Will she?" ”
"Sister embroidery kung fu is hands-on, this pastry really can't be, the chef of the dining room was angry with her several times, and he couldn't wait to smash the pot and beg for mercy to call her aunt and grandmother."
Listening to Yueci's statement, Xiao Siyu could even imagine what kind of picture it was when she wasn't there, and she couldn't help laughing out loud and felt too happy and angry, pretending to cough, "Since she has the heart to learn, then let her learn, and you can discuss and adjust the errand with each other." ”
Seeing that Xiao Siyu was not angry, Yueci confirmed his conjecture, and sure enough, his sister was different in his heart. Also because of Xiao Siyu's order, the whole house secretly knew that Jiang Xi was making pastries for His Royal Highness, and no one dared to steal her things easily.
is also because of everyone's conscientious sycophancy, and the guise that a bite of a pastry looks good and must taste more delicious, which makes Jiang Xi think that he is ready to go home. She invited everyone to taste the "exclusive" that no one dared to touch Xiao Siyu, so she took the risk and decided to mix this plate of pastries mixed with the noon snack and send it to the dormitory, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince to taste it.
She thought, if such a noble person says that it is delicious, it must have passed.
"Your Highness."
Jiang Xi brought in the pastries at noon, and saw that Xiao Siyu was waking up to make tea, so he brought a plate of pastries and presented them, "This is the jade cake that has just come out of the pot in the dining room, do you want to try it?" ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Siyu put down the tea leaves, went to take a piece of pastry, put it in her mouth and took a bite, her eyebrows wrinkled when she chewed, and it was so sweet that it was hard to eat. He glanced at Jiang Xi and found that she had a pair of dark eyes, looking at him expectantly, and saw that the two hands on which she served the plate were scars and soot of different shades, and it took some hard work to make these things.
He suddenly felt that the pastry was not so difficult to swallow, "Do you think it tastes delicious?" ”
“…… Slaves, slaves have tried it, and they think it's delicious. ”
She is used to eating sweets, and she has tasted pastries herself, and she dares to serve them when she thinks she can, "What does Your Highness think...... Isn't it tasty? If you can't eat it, the slave will take it away. ”
She didn't dare let him eat any more, and if she got angry, her head would move. I didn't think that she was just about to take away the plate, Xiao Siyu took the cake plate away first, like a child protecting food, with a hostile face: "What a big boldness, the master didn't say that you dare to take it away without permission!" ”
He swallowed the pastry in his mouth, took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and deliberately praised: "I don't know who made the pastry, it tastes different from usual, and it is very delicious." ”
"It's a minion."
Recognized, Jiang Xi was extremely excited, "Your Highness said it was delicious, it must be really delicious." ”
Seeing her smile, Xiao Siyu was also relaxed, and the sticky and sweet glutinous rice pastries in her mouth became softer and softer, and they could melt into her heart. Although as the crown prince, there are many people who flatter him, but how many of them are sincere. His father loved him on the surface, but whenever Concubine Han was involved, he always didn't think about his flesh and blood affection and fought him.
What kind of noble prince, the majesty of the heavenly family, the people rush to it, in his eyes is just dirty and pathetic.
"Little minion."
He called softly, and when Jiang Xi looked up blankly, he reached out to stroke her face, and gently wiped the stained carbon ash for her with his fingertips, "With the master here, you can be ignorant, Donggong bears it, and the master bears it for you." ”
