We entered the elegant room called "Huaxi", as the name suggests, fresh and elegant, and the room was furnished with a lot of ingenuity.

Chu Hong opened the window, the geographical location of this elegant room is unique, it happens to be close to the riverside, the scenery is unique, the window is the sparkling river, and then the rolling mountains in the distance, the scenery is relaxed.

"It turns out that the secret of Tian Bao Zhai is here-" Xiao Ye said happily.

I stood in front of the window and watched, smiling but not speaking, I hadn't breathed so freely and freely for a long time, and my mood was very different.

After watching for a while, Xiao Ye and I sat down with Chu Hong, and there was a sound of approaching footsteps outside the door, Chu Hong got up and nodded to the person who came, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Mo Ye, these two are my friends." Chu Hong naturally introduced me and Xiao Ye to Chen Mo, and when I heard him call us friends, I felt more warm in my heart, because of the identity of Princess Xuan, my circle is very small, Chu Hong regards me as a friend, I cherish it.

I stood up and smiled: "Mo Ye." "I didn't expect that Chen Mo, the boss of Tianbao Zhai, was such a young man, tall and handsome, especially those eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he had been in business for many years but did not have the vulgarity of a businessman.

Chen Mo's sweet Bao Zhai also has a good reputation among the nobles and famous families in the capital, he has read countless people, and has rich experience in dealing with people, how can he not see that Xiao Ye and I are women dressed as men, he does not break it, only smiles: "The friend of the second prince is my friend Chen Mo, the two of you take a moment, I asked someone to make a pot of Biluochun, these delicious dim sum, a few taste first." ”

After sitting down, Xiao Ye and I were not polite, and we picked a snack and ate it alone. These dim sum are slightly delicate in appearance, but they are sweet in the mouth, and the sweetness is very natural and does not feel deliberate. If I'm not mistaken, there is not a little sugar in the pastry, and the natural sweetness is created by mixing the nectar with flour.

I shook the cloud cake in my hand in front of Chu Hong's eyes, and praised: "Sweet but not greasy, sweet in the mouth, much better than the pastry chef in King Xuan's mansion." "It's not that I'm picky, it's that the chefs in Li Xuan's mansion are superb in cooking, and they nourish my mouth, and ordinary food is not attractive to me.

Xiao Ye gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "This level is almost not catching up with the imperial chef of the palace——"

Chu Hong took a sip of the blue and white porcelain teacup and laughed, his laughter was unassuming, not wanton, but quiet as a gentle spring breeze, Xiao Ye was stupid again, a mouthful of pastry stuck in her throat couldn't go up and down, choking her coughed several times, I lifted the teapot and added some tea to her cup, this girl saw that Chu Hong didn't even have a soul.

"King Xuan is valued by Emperor Qi, and the food and clothing in the palace are unmatched, and as for the meals in the Great Qi Palace, it is another level."

Xiao Ye finally swallowed the pastry mixed with tea, and hurriedly responded: "What Gongzi Chu said is right, what our prince cares about the most is our princess, and the best things in the palace are sent to our princess." The pastries in the palace are not blessed, but my princess often goes to the palace, and she says that the pastries of Tianbaozhai must be delicious if they are delicious. ”

This stupid girl, what's there to show off about this kind of thing? Is her princess's life good, what does it have to do with others? Chu Hong has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and now he is in a foreign country, I am worried that he will inevitably be gloomy after hearing it, but it can be seen that he is calm, and I actually feel that I have the heart of a villain.

I suddenly remembered an interesting thing: "Most people who live in the palace like to eat sweet, often prepare pastries and preserves, I sometimes go to the queen's Fengqi Palace to sit, after a long time I found that everyone in the Fengqi Palace loves sweet, the queen likes it, and even the palace maids she serves close to her also like." ”

Chu Hong rubbed his fingertips against the body of the cup, and said with deep meaning: "Probably because the hearts of the people in the palace are very bitter, and they like to eat sweets for a long time." ”

When he said this, there was a faint sadness in his eyes, and there was only a wisp of it, and I still felt it. He is different from me, I didn't grow up in the deep palace since I was a child, I haven't seen the conspiracies and calculations of the open and secret battles, he is the most favored prince in the south, how much bitterness and hardship are unknown behind this, which others can't understand.

At this moment, he may have thought of his own experience and situation, or he may have thought of his father and mother who were far away in the south. Under his gentle and calm surface, he may not want to think about why his father chose to send him to Daqi as a proton, so that he was wronged and insulted, and fell from a high-ranking noble prince to a proton who could be bullied by even a courtier at will.

Xiao Ye also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and he didn't speak quietly, and even the sound of eating pastries was quiet.

I really shouldn't have been to the palace to stir up his sadness, I apologized to him, and he smiled, saying that he remembered home and it was none of my business.

In the evening, Chu Hong escorted Xiao Ye and me, who didn't know the way, back to the Xuan Palace, and saw the magnificent gate of the palace, I turned my head to thank him, he nodded goodbye to us, warm and clear from beginning to end, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"Don't look at it-" I tugged on Xiao Ye's sleeve strongly, she stared at Chu Hong's back in a daze, and she didn't even hear my words, until I pulled her in the door, she was reluctant to go back to the ink garden with me.

Before I had time to change out of the men's clothes, the housekeeper came, and it was rumored that Li Xuan invited me to go to Mozhuju for dinner together.

It's so late, Li Xuan hasn't eaten yet? I don't understand. Has he been waiting for me to come home?
