Qin Mingyue was a little strange, how could Xiao Rui know that he had arrived at Xixiu Villa outside the city? Also, this Chinese New Year, he doesn't stay in the palace or the palace, why is he running here? Doesn't he need to socialize?

Qin Mingyue has been very familiar with Xiao Rui for a while, so she didn't greet Xiao Rui, and asked directly: "Xiao Rui, what are you doing here?" For the Chinese New Year, why are you still running out of the city? Does the emperor know? ”

Xiao Rui saw that Qin Mingyue obviously didn't change into the clothes of the visitor, although he was wearing a sable fur cloak on the outside, he was still wearing a moon-white sleeved jacket inside, which showed that he came out as soon as he knew that he was coming.

Qin Mingyue, who looks like this, has black hair that is only controlled by a bamboo hairpin, and her little face is powdered without powder. It looks very amiable.

Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you also outside the city for the New Year?" If you can come, why can't I come? ”

Qin Mingyue ignored him, sat down directly, and said, "Of course I can come, this is my Zhuangzi, isn't it normal for me to come here?" Although there are many things to do during the Chinese New Year, however, the yamen is sealed, and there is no government affairs in the Xingxing Building that I need to deal with, and the family naturally has my father and brother. I'm here to hide and clean up by myself, can't I retreat? But you are different, you are a dignified prince, and you have opened your own mansion and built your own teeth, so the New Year is naturally full of entertainment. Don't talk about this, just the various things in the palace are probably busy enough, right? How did you get here? Also, how did you know I was here? ”

Xiao Rui said, "Of course I know you're here. When you came yesterday, I wanted to come along. However, there was something in the palace yesterday, and I didn't have time to get out of the city, so I had to wait until today. I was supposed to come here early this morning. However, the mother must have dragged me for a long time, there is no way, I can only come now. I'm hurrying here. You just asked someone to make a cup of tea, and you didn't have a snack or anything to eat? The people in this Xixiu Villa are all people who are used to serving my imperial grandmother. I remember that this cook seems to be from the Fang family. ”

"Hurry up and get me something to eat. I didn't even eat lunch. ”

Qin Mingyue had no choice but to order Xiao Rui to serve some snacks first, then make a few small dishes and send them to the West Flower Hall, and invite Xiao Rui to eat there later. It's a little warmer than the front flower hall. He also ordered a little hot wine to be served.

After the order stopped, Qin Mingyue asked Xiao Rui: "You have been spying on me all along?" ”

Xiao Rui saw that Qin Mingyue didn't look unhappy, so he said, "Yes, I asked someone to keep an eye on your whereabouts at all times." Otherwise, I have something to look for you, I don't know whether to go to the Star Picking Tower, or go to the Qin family to find you? ”

Qin Mingyue glanced at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui saw that Qin Mingyue did not look unhappy, and his heart was relieved.

At this time, the dim sum came. Xiao Rui was busy with tea and ate a honey bean cake, which was very delicious. Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes: "Well, it's still delicious that the Fang family made." There are few people in the palace who are now members of the Fang family. They are all people who have been replaced by Queen Yang's henchman He family. The things they made were far worse than those of the Fang family. Well, this one tastes good. What's the name of that, well, I remember, it's ** sound. This is a reward for the cook, so please send it over. ”

Chunyin could only go up and take a purse handed over by Xiao Rui. This is a palace purse embroidered with green bamboo. It's a little hard inside, I think it's gold and silver naked or something. This was originally commonly used in the palace to appreciate people.

Qin Mingyue nodded at Chunyin. Haruon went out.

After a while, Chunyin came back and said, "Thank you from the kitchen for the reward, they have prepared the meal, please move the prince." ”

Qin Mingyue put on the cloak from Dongqu, and came to the West Flower Hall with Xiao Rui, where there were floor-to-ceiling large glass windows that could see the scenery in the garden outside. Not to mention anything else, it is the bright plum blossoms that bloom right in front of the bush, which is very beautiful. Underfloor heating is laid in the flower hall. So it was warm and not cold at all. Meals are already on the table.

Xiao Rui immediately chewed according to the case, and praised the delicious food while eating.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but say, "You haven't eaten enough of the food made by the Fang family in this palace?" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I grew up eating the food cooked by the Fang family, so I just like this bite." However, now, the imperial food made in the palace is not like this, and of course I miss it very much. Hey, speaking of which, why is the imperial grandmother so good to you? This Xixiu Villa, I don't know how many people want it. I have to pass it too, the eldest brother, and the second brother have to pass it. However, the imperial grandmother did not give it. Only for you. ”

"This Zhuangzi is not big, but it is more than 1,000 acres of land, but it is connected to the mountain behind, and the layout of the Zhuangzi is very quiet, and there is a hot spring, but it is a good place to escape the cold in winter. In summer, the bamboo forests in the mountains are breezy and it is also a good place to escape the heat. ”

"That's not to mention. The more than 1,000 acres of land in this Zhuangzi are not ordinary crops, they are all planted with rouge rice carefully served by the Zhai family, and there are some precious medicinal materials. Didn't you notice that this rice is particularly delicious? ”

Qin Mingyue smiled: "Although my Qin family is broken, can I still eat rouge rice?" It's been almost a year since this Zhuangzi came into my hands, and I still don't know what it produces? The production here is indeed special, so I haven't sold the production here, and I have specially hoarded it and supplied it to our Qin family for consumption. ”

The look of surprise in Xiao Rui's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's just a matter of passing it on to you, Zhuangzi." It's really surprising that the emperor's grandmother's well-trained people were actually given to you by a bunch. How can Grandmother be sure that none of us can shelter her men, and only you can? ”

Qin Mingyue glanced at him: "Do you need to say this?" In the whole world, not only the Great Zhou, but also the surrounding four countries combined, who doesn't know that I am the heir of the national teacher. In the future, I will be the next national teacher. You princes, although there are crown princes, but not necessarily one of them will become the next emperor. However, there can only be one heir to our national teacher. Although the master has three apprentices, and I also have the senior brother and the second senior brother, they knew from the beginning that they had no chance to be the national teacher, because the national teacher can only be a person recognized by the Xuangui Jade Plate. That's me. ”

Xiao Rui glanced at Qin Mingyue and said, "Your senior brother really knows that they have nothing to do with the National Teacher's position?" ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes suddenly brightened. How would he know?
