Chapter 39: The Bitter Meat Scheme
"Delicious food?" Xia Yan smiled, this was really the most lame excuse she had ever heard.
Mu Fan nodded seriously and looked at Xia Yan with expectant eyes: "Can I still eat in the future?" ”
"It's funny." Xia Yan shook off the hand that was tugging at her sleeve, "Mu Gongzi's family is so magnificent, there must be no shortage of good cooks, how can he look down on my family's coarse tea and light rice." ”
Xia Yan blessed his body again, and said with a serious expression: "Please don't joke anymore, Xia Yan can't stand it." ”
"Childe and I are just walking on two parallel lines, and there will be no intersection from now on."
"Farewell."
Mu Fan was hit by Xia Yan's words, he looked at Xia Yan who went out in a daze, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only stand there in a daze.
"Yan'er, don't you think what you said just now was a bit too much?" Yan, who followed Xia Yan out, asked worriedly.
"No, people like him who like to deceive people, we should keep our distance from him."
"Didn't you promise your mother not to quarrel with Mu Fan again?"
"I didn't quarrel with him, I was just stating the facts."
"It's possible that he didn't lie to you sincerely."
"A liar is a liar."
"Hey...... You......" Yan sighed, of course she knew why Mu Fan was reluctant to explain to Yan Er, but she couldn't say.
Mu Fan, the child, has the most temper with that person, and when he recognizes death, a hundred horses can't pull it back.
She could only pray that Mu Fan would not have any accidents.
Two days later, Xu Changping looked at Mu Fan, who had nothing to love, and went crazy.
His Highness hasn't been in for two whole days, what's the matter?
Although His Highness has been suffering from a poor appetite since waking up, refusing to take more bites of what his former favorite imperial chef had cooked, he was still able to eat something.
But now? He didn't say anything, and ordered him to send the cook back.
It took him a lot of effort to bring out the imperial chef from the palace, and His Royal Highness actually said that he would send it away.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with the things made by the Imperial Chef? I asked him to change it. Xu Changping said flatteringly.
"Nope."
"Then why didn't Your Highness eat for two whole days?"
"I don't want to."
"Why not?"
All that was answered was a silence.
Xu Changping is going crazy, the people who used to serve His Royal Highness's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all Manager Fan, God knows how Manager Fan communicated with such a person who didn't like to talk.
He held his breath and retreated, beckoning the secret guard to ask, "Has anyone come to visit His Highness in the past few days?" ”
"Back to my lord, Miss Xia Yan and her mother have been here."
Xu Changping was slightly angry: "Didn't I tell you, if anyone approaches His Highness, you have to report to me in time?" ”
"But Miss Xia Yan is not a living person."
Xu Changping raised his forehead, what happened to this group of secret guards one by one recently?
What about a well-trained sense of crisis?
Allowing such a dangerous person to approach His Highness was unguarded.
"What did she say to Her Highness?"
"My subordinates didn't know, but I heard from a distance that His Highness seemed to want to go to Miss Xia's house for dinner, and he was refused."
What is this? Want to get away with it? Want to welcome or refuse?
It is better to refuse, the less chance to let His Highness have contact with her, the less dangerous it will be.
His Royal Highness is just a child's temper, and when he is very hungry, he will naturally eat.
The result exceeded Xu Changping's expectations.
After another two days, he looked at Mu Fan's hungry and weak but still strong appearance, and compromised.
Reluctantly, he put on Mu Fan on his back and knocked on the door of Xia Yan's house.
Xia Yan saw the person coming clearly, and asked coldly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss Xia Yan, my young master is about to faint."
"Oh, then I'll call Doctor Xue out."
In the past few days, Doctor Xue Shen has been staying at her house in order to treat Xia Yan and Xia Huai.
"No, no, the young master is not sick." Xu Changping hesitated, "he ...... He was hungry. ”
"Huh." Xia Yan chuckled, "When he's hungry, why don't you go to your cook, why are you looking for me?" ”
"Young Master...... The young master just wants to eat the girl's food. ”
"If he wants to eat me, will I make it for him? Why. ”
"You ......" Xu Changping was angry, if he wasn't afraid that His Highness would blame him, he would have opened his mouth to educate and educate this child, why did he speak so impulsively?
"The young master is almost hungry, girl, what about your kindness? The young master saved you. ”
"Conscience? Your young master didn't have it, and naturally I didn't either. I have already thanked me for saving my life, and now we have two grievances. ”
"You ...... "You are a bad man, you dare to insult Your Highness."
At this moment, Yan heard the movement and walked over, saw Mu Fan on Xu Changping's back, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Xu Changping didn't bother to say more to Xia Yan, turned his head and explained to Yan: "Young master, this is hungry. ”
Thinking of Mu Fan's character that was exactly the same as that person, Yan's heart was clear, and he immediately opened the door to greet him: "Come in, the freshly cooked meal, let Mu Fan eat more." ”
"Mother, you can't let him in. He's a liar. ”
Yan gently patted Xia Yan's head: "Yan'er, now is not the time for children to make trouble, don't you see Mu Fan weak like this, obedient." ”
"Oh." Xia Yan secretly glanced at Mu Fan, and when he saw his hungry and blue face, he didn't say anything, turned sideways and let Xu Changping take Mu Fan into the courtyard.
Put Mu Fan in front of the dining table in the house, and Yan served a bowl of hot porridge to Xu Changping.
"Young master, it's time to eat, this is the porridge of Miss Xia Yan's family."
As soon as he heard Xia Yan's name, Mu Fan opened his eyes leisurely and looked at his surroundings.
It was indeed the place that made him feel at home.
Only then did he open his mouth and eat the porridge that Xu Changping had fed to his mouth.
One sip, one sip, until the bowl of porridge is drunk.
"Anything else?" Mu Fan looked at Xia Yan pitifully and asked.
Xia Yan was silent, turned around and put another bowl in front of him.
Bowl after bowl, after Mu Fan drank five bowls of porridge, he touched his stomach with satisfaction, looked at Xia Yan and smiled.
The smile was incomparably bright, like an iceberg melting, and the moon was in his arms, which made Xu Changping excited.
How many years has he not seen His Highness smile so brightly?
Six years?
Yes, he hasn't seen the Empress Immortal since she died six years ago.
This smile also made Xia Yan stunned, thinking about it, she had never seen Mu Fan smile so happily.
In the past, Mu Fan's face always seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice, cold, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
I didn't expect him to look so good when he laughed, so I saw that Xia Yan temporarily forgot that she was still angry with Mu Fan.
"Have you forgiven me?" Mu Fan looked at Xia Yan with blank eyes and asked.
"I didn't ...... No. Xia Yan couldn't control his blush, and turned around awkwardly.
"Then why did you let me in?"
"You're starving to death, my mother looked distressed and let you in, what's my business."
"Oh." Mu Fan lowered his head in frustration, making it impossible to see his expression clearly, and then looked at Xia Yan pitifully, "Can I still come here to eat in the future?" ”
"This is the last time." Xia Yan refused.
"But I'll starve to death if I don't eat here, so you can say yes." Mu Fan gave her a bright smile again.
The bright-eyed and bright-toothed young man suddenly became coquettish, making Xia Yan a little unbearable.
But thinking of all the things before, she still relented and refused: "No, it's not good, it's useless to be coquettish." ”
"Yan'er, promise him. Our family is not short of this bowl of rice. Yan on the side suddenly said loudly.
"Mother, how are you ...... How to always help him speak. Xia Yan pouted dissatisfiedly, "Eccentric." ”
It's not that Yan's partiality, but Mu Fan's coquettish appearance reminds her of the little boy who always likes to follow her and ask for candy many years ago.
Delicate and beautiful, like a little doll carved in powder, staggering to pull her clothes, glutinously shouting: "Aunt Zhixi, sugar candy." ”
"Fan'er, you have eaten too much today, you can't eat anymore, if your mother finds out, she will scold you......"
"Fan'er doesn't eat it, Fan'er has to save it for her sister in her aunt's womb to eat, and Fan'er has to save a lot of sugar for her sister."
"Fan'er, what if my aunt has a younger brother in her belly, will you still give him candy to eat?"
"Impossible, it must be a sister. The queen told me that this was the crown princess she had chosen for me, so she must be a younger sister. ”
……
Yan withdrew his thoughts from the memories, sighed, and looked at the two children distressedly.
If there was no accident back then, these two would be childhood sweethearts, and they didn't guess.
How can it be so strange today?
Creation makes people.
thought that she was hiding in this remote mountain village, and Yan'er and Huai'er would never have any intersection with the people there in their lives.
I didn't expect that Bufan would come here.
Fate is really wonderful.
It's just that she really doesn't want her children to go back to the place that fills her with painful memories.
So, I can only hide it from them.
Now that Bufan's mother has passed away, and he came here for some reason, as his mother's best sister, she will naturally take care of Mu Fan.
"Yan'er, how about listening to your mother?" Yan looked at Xia Yan gently.
Why do you look at me one by one with such eyes, I really can't stand it, forget it, isn't it just to eat a bowl of rice, I just ignore him.
Xia Yan was firm in his heart that he would never give Mu Fan a good face, and nodded: "Leave immediately after eating." ”
Seeing that his bitter plan finally worked, Mu Fan was in a good mood, and after assuring Xia Yan that he would definitely leave in time after eating, he was satisfied with it
Xu Changping, who was stunned by this scene, left.
"Your Highness, what are you?" Xu Changping was really puzzled, although it was a good thing that His Highness had changed, but this change came too quickly.
"Can't you see it? Bitter meat tricks, she eats this set. ”
"The minister wants to ask, why are you so angry with a little girl?"
"Compared to the pain caused by Ah Yan's refusal to ignore me, it is nothing to suffer some grievances."
