Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Taro Soup
The red clouds in the sky are surging, and the fire burns out a grand one.
In front of the gate of the mansion, the subordinates loaded the car back and forth, so quiet that they didn't dare to make the slightest sound, even Chen Xun, who was standing next to Pan Quan, was as if he had been dumbfounded, holding his breath and concentrating, only paying careful attention to his master's every move, for fear of a little negligence.
Suddenly, there was some noise in front of the door, and Chen Xun looked back and became cautious.
"Shizi, the king of Chu is here." He whispered.
The gloomy eyebrows moved slightly, Pan Cheng came back from the silence, first glanced at Chen Xun, and then slowly turned around and faced the oncoming Xiao Di.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu." A smile slowly curled up on his lips, and he sighed and asked, "Is it difficult for His Highness to have a heart, but he also came to see him off?" β
Xiao Di withdrew his gaze from the chariot and horse team, and said slowly: "The prince doesn't have to go back in such a hurry. β
Pan was slightly stunned, and then laughed. He only thought that Xiao Di's words were full of schadenfreude, and he was about to sneer at two sentences, but he listened to him continue: "-If Pan knows how to measure. β
Looking at the other party's eyes as deep as the sea, Pan was a spirit, and suddenly understood something......
He originally thought that he returned in embarrassment because Princess Qi was thinking about the old evil and wanted to find himself unhappy, but now Xiao Di said this, does that mean that His Royal Highness the King of Chu at least knows and acquiesces in this matter?
After that day, he privately decided that Qingchen was the person who was Princess Qi, but if all this King Chu knew at all, then Qingchen's identity would be two words......
However, why did the king of Chu calculate himself?
The affairs of Yongchuan and Shufan County are still in progress, and the Chu Wangfu and the Pan family are in a period of peace, what reason does Xiao Di have to do this?
Is it the same as Princess Qi, but also for King Qi's old debts?
Still is...... Because of Pan Xi?
Thinking of this, his eyes moved, and he looked at Xiao Di more and more.
Could it be that for the Pan family's sacrifice of daughters, the king of Chu didn't want to accept it at all?
Pan Cheng took a deep breath.
"Originally, there were still a lot of grievances in my heart, but now I understand." He smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, eat a trench and grow wise, in the future, my Pan's hand will not dare to stretch too long." β
Xiao Di bowed his head slightly and smiled lightly, "Pan Shizi is a man of his word, and this king can trust it." After a pause, Fu said with a deep meaning: "This king also believes that the Pan family is magnanimous and will not worry about the little girl." β
Talking to a little girl? Who? Light dust?
Pan couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness, this is an extra move!" He said, "That little girl in your house is so cute, I can't bear to worry about anything with her." I can't say that there will be a time to speak to His Highness for her. β
His eyes were deep, and when he thought of the man, he brought a trace of nostalgia.
Xiao Di seemed to be a little surprised, and after a while, he said, "Pan Shizi misunderstood." If someone wants to deal with the people of my Chu Palace, there is nothing to be afraid of with the protection of this king. β
He said, "What this king is referring to is not light dust. β
Pan frowned.
It's not light dust, then who else can it be?
His mind turned and turned, and in the end, there was only one most unlikely answer left, and Pan Quan asked tentatively: "...... Didn't His Highness say, Pan Xi? β
Xiao Di looked at him and acquiesced.
Pan Cheng slowly gasped, his eyes full of puzzlement.
He jokingly probed: "Your Highness, why is this so painful? If you are concerned about her safety, why do you have to turn her away when I offer it with both hands? β
Xiao Di chuckled, had no intention of talking to him more, and turned his mouth to tell him: "Pan's 'kindness', this king is not blessed. However, the prince can rest assured that no matter what happens here, it will not affect the affairs of Shufan County and Yongchuan. β
Pan Quanquan clenched his fists and smiled: "With His Royal Highness's words, rest assured." β
The wheels rolled, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Pan is gone.
Passing through the city gate, he lowered the curtain of the car and suddenly asked Chen Xun, "You haven't forgotten to send something, right?" β
Chen Xun was stunned, thought about it, and then realized what he said.
"Don't worry, it's already been sent to the Chinese Pavilion." He looked at Pan Quan, his expression became more and more complicated, and he thought about it for a long time before he dared to pretend to be bold, and said tentatively: "Shizi, forgive your subordinates for saying more, you treat the little girl in the Chu Palace......"
At this point, Pan Quan's sudden gaze was cut off.
To the little girl in the palace of the king of Chu......
Pan Cheng silently read these words, and for a while, he actually smiled.
Chen Xun was stunned by this smile.
Later, he felt that there was no need to ask.
went to the Hua Pavilion, Pei Yao went to King Ning to invite An back, and as soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he listened to the sigh of the light dust there.
"What's wrong with you?" She walked over slowly and asked casually, "Trouble again?" β
Qingchen hurriedly shook his head.
"Nope! Slaves don't dare! After speaking, remembering the difficult matter at hand, her little face fell again, and she said worriedly: "The slave is just a little annoying." β
"What's annoying?" As soon as she finished asking, seeing Qingchen holding the lid of the non-staple food box in her hand, Pei Yaowei looked curiously at the table behind her, "I didn't eat enough for dinner, or it didn't suit my taste?" β
While talking, Qingchen moved out of the way, and she took a closer look, but saw a taro soup resting in a small snack box.
Taro soup ...... Why does this thing seem familiar?
Pei Yaowei recalled suspiciously for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Qingchen.
"It's ...... Pan Quan's delivery? β
Qingchen sighed and nodded exhaustedly.
Pei Yao chuckled.
She walked to the couch while laughing, and Qingchen chased after her and asked, "Niangniang, what are you laughing at?" β
"Laugh at my little girl is so attractive-" Pei Yao sat on the couch and joked with her with a smile: "And it's not an ordinary person!" You haven't finished yet, you have recruited such a mountain wolf, you said that if this is a few years away, what will you do? β
Qingchen waved his hand, "Oh Niangniang, you are thinking too much, the slave and maid estimate it, it is not easy to find someone who is blind like him!" β
"Tsk...... Look at you, although Pan Quanqi is not a good thing, but people like you, it's not good for you to say that! β
Qingchen wrung his clothes and muttered to himself: "I didn't mean to talk about him, I really think his eyes are a little bad......"
Pei Yaowei looked at her little appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh, she glanced at the food box, and she asked, "This time this taro soup, there is no problem, right?" β
"No, you can drink it." Qingchen said, squatted down at her feet, tilted his head and said, "Niangniang, in fact, I don't understand it." β
Pei Yaowei casually picked up the book on the small table and asked, "Well, what don't you understand?" β
Qingchen pondered his words and humbly asked for advice: "Before, he seemed to mean something to me, but ...... Didn't I tell you that the night he invited me to drink taro soup, I was vain and wronged to him? When I left that night, it was obvious that he had lost a lot of interest in me, and that he was all about acting on the spot...... After the incident between him and Pan Xi, I thought that he had to hate me to death, but today he sent someone to bring this taro soup, and I carefully checked it, and it was not poisoned - you say, did he forget? β
Hearing this, Pei Yao stunned, removed the scroll in front of him, and looked at her.
Qingchen opened his eyes and asked sincerely.
Pei Yao thought for a long time, sighed lightly, and said to her: "Probably, he is the girl who likes to twist his temperament with him?" β
Qingchen recalled Pan Quan's before and after performance, tasted the product, and felt that it seemed to be the case.
So she asked, "Why?" Is he stupid? β
Pei Yao shook her head and smiled.
"He shouldn't be stupid, but ......" After a pause, she said slowly, "It's going too well." β
Outside the house, when Xiao Di passed by the window, he happened to hear her words.
Qingchen asked: "It's too smooth?" β
"Yes...... Pei Yao said leisurely, "A person like Pan Quan, who is from a famous family, loved by his parents, and wants to calculate, has never been calculated." From childhood to adulthood, it was smooth, and over time, this smoothly became dull, and it lost its interest, but it would like something different and maverick. The more things that cannot be easily achieved, the more they can arouse the interest of such people, and the more they can make them persevere, and never turn back......"
As she spoke, she was in a bit of a tranceβshe didn't know if she was talking about Pan Cheng or ......
"Hmm...... Then I understand," the other side, Qingchen understood her words, thoughtfully, "Then next time, if he wants to provoke me, I will ...... Pretending to be stupid and blindly following his wishes, he is not interesting, and this matter will be solved naturally! β
Yes, it's boring, so it's naturally solved, but the key at the moment is that people who have been deceived by you once, can Pan Shizi easily believe your pretended 'well-behaved'?
Pei Yaowei thought so, but didn't break it with her, anyway, even if Pan Cheng had a heart, the horizontal and vertical light dust was under his nose, and he could take care of everything, and he couldn't worry about this step for a while.
"That's right, mother!" Qingchen solved a problem, and then he was in good spirits again, "Speaking of Pan's people...... Before, you said that Pan Xi doesn't like His Highness, how do you see this? β
How can you see it?
Pei Yaowei thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
She told Qingchen that she went out for a stroll that day, and outside the Zhengyi Courtyard, she happened to see Pan Yi talking to the maid next to her.
"By chance?" Qingchen's eyes rolled, and he said slyly: "Hehe, it's eavesdropping, right?" β
Pei Yaowei raised an index finger and compared it to her lips.
Qingchen understood and nodded hurriedly.
ββ¦β¦ The maid beside her told her that all the things she had sent to the Chinese Pavilion were ready, and asked her if she wanted to go and see it herself. But Pan Xi didn't mean to do it himself, he only cared about instructing a few taboos, and asked the maid to prepare the rest at will. β
That's it?
Qingchen thought about it and didn't understand, "What does that mean?" β
Pei Yao smiled gently.
Outside the window, Xiao Di heard her say: "When you have a sweetheart in the future, you will understand - everything he loves, you will always remember it unconsciously, and everything that is sent to him, you will be as careful as a treasure, but if you can do it yourself, you will never be willing to fake it to others." β
"All the treasures are paid for in this place of heart, where does it come from to do what you want?"
