Chapter Thirty-Eight: Take the Initiative
Sadiya left the palace early in the morning, and before dawn, Sadia went into the back kitchen and ordered no one to approach. After touching it for more than an hour, she still remembered that last time Murong Haoxuan praised her for the delicious dishes, she specially prepared a few side dishes today and prepared them to be sent to Murong Haoxuan's mansion.
Murong Haoxuan was painting in the mansion at this time, and the painting was painted with a woman. The woman was dressed in a peach-pink muslin veil, her jet-black hair was gently draped behind her, and her eyes looked into the distance, revealing a sense of firmness. Murong Haoxuan's vision was inseparable from the woman in the painting for a long time.
At this time, the attendant Bai Chi came in from outside and reported: "Lord, the princess of Yaha Kingdom is visiting."
Murong Haoxuan suddenly raised his head, looked at Bai Chi expectantly and asked, "Which princess is it?"
"Back to the prince, it's Princess Diya." Bai Chi said.
Hearing that it was Sadia, the expectation in Murong Haoxuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said, "Please let her in."
"No!"
Murong Haoxuan looked at the paintings in the study, and then stopped Bai Chi: "Bai Chi, please go to the front hall." I'll be over in a moment. ”
"Okay, lord."
Murong Haoxuan looked at the painting in a daze, thinking: Why isn't it you? The painting is none other than Yuwei.
Sadiya followed Bai Chi into the palace, and there were orchids everywhere along the way, and the orchids exuded a faint fragrance. It's no wonder that when you approach Murong Haoxuan, you can smell a fragrance. After a while, Diya arrived at the front hall, which was very large but very simple, and there were not too many gorgeous decorations, but there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
Sadiya pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the wall and asked, "The calligraphy and painting on the wall are so beautiful, who painted it?"
Bai Chi said: "These are all painted by our prince, and some of them were bought by the prince from other places by chance."
"Wow, your prince is really talented."
"That is, among the young talents of the Furong Kingdom, there are several literary talents, and my prince is the best." Bai Chi said proudly.
"Bai Chi, in front of the princess, don't talk nonsense." Murong Haoxuan heard that Bai Chi began to praise himself again, and said something to stop it.
"Yes, my lord, the little one knows his mistakes." Bai Chi apologized.
Sadiya couldn't help but have a better impression of Murong Haoxuan, such an excellent person is not delicate or impatient, and he is talented and low-key.
"I don't know if the princess is visiting today, and she will miss the welcome, please don't be surprised." Murong Haoxuan said politely.
"No, no, no, this is to blame Princess Ben, I didn't tell the prince in advance. If you are so presumptuous to visit, please don't be surprised. Sadiya said hurriedly.
"Bai Chi, what are you doing here? Serve a pot of flower tea to the princess. ”
"Lord Wang, is it the kind you personally exposed?" Bai Chi asked with some suspicion, this flower tea was planted by the prince himself, and then picked it by hand, and dried it himself. I rarely drink it myself, and I never take it out to any distinguished guest.
"Uh-huh."
"No!" Bai Chi retreated in surprise, it seems that this Princess Diya of Yaha Kingdom is so important in the heart of the prince.
After a while, Bai Chi brewed a pot of rose tea, Sadiya took a sip, fragrant and said: "Lord, this tea is the most fragrant tea I have ever drunk, or is it dried by your own hands, Lord, it is really an honor for the little girl."
"Princess Diya doesn't have to be polite, if you like it, you can bring some back later." Murong Haoxuan's face flashed in his mind, this flower was originally dried for you, although it can't be given to you personally, but it can also let you taste it.
"Then thank you first. Prince, Diya came to visit today because the little girl remembered that the prince said last time that he loved to eat the goat milk crisp I made, so the little girl made some more today and brought it over to the prince to taste. Sadiya took out a box of goat soufflé and handed it to Murong Haoxuan.
"Thank you, princess, take it." As soon as Murong Haoxuan's voice fell, Bai Chi stepped forward to take Sadiya's food box.
Sadia, who thought that Murong Haoxuan would take the food box with his own hands, saw Bai Chi coming, Murong Haoxuan didn't mean to eat, and was a little disappointed.
"Lord Wang, I see that there are a lot of orchids in your yard, I wonder if the prince can take me to visit them?" Sadiya shifted her attention again.
"Okay, princess, please." Murong Haoxuan took Sadiya to visit his orchid garden.
"I don't know what hobbies the prince has besides painting, planting orchids?" Sadia asked.
"Horseback riding, hunting."
"I also love to hunt on horseback, and it seems that the prince has the same hobby." Sadiya has always wanted to close the distance between herself and Murong Haoxuan.
"Uh-huh" It's a pity that Murong Haoxuan has always smiled faintly and politely.
"Lord, the Queen Mother passed you into the palace." An attendant came to report.
"Okay, this king knows." Murong Haoxuan said.
"The prince has something to enter the palace, it's not too early, the little girl retired first." Sadiya was about to leave, but was stopped by Murong Haoxuan.
"Princess, bring some flower tea back." Murong Haoxuan took the flower tea box from Bai Chi's hand and handed it to Sadia, who happily took the flower tea and returned Murong Haoxuan with a shy smile.
Looking at the back of Sadiya leaving, Bai Chi asked: "Prince, I can see that the princess likes you very much, and you even gave her the flower tea that you haven't been willing to take out and drink for so long, which proves that you also like the princess, so why did you let Jinjiang say that the queen mother is looking for you?" ”
"Knowing too much won't do you any good. If you feel that your current work is too idle, ask me to transfer you to the back kitchen to help. Murong Haoxuan looked at Bai Chi and said with a smile.
"The little one doesn't dare, the little one will go to work immediately." Bai Chi thought to himself: It's strange to say, since the princess of Yaha Kingdom came to make peace, the prince has changed a lot. is not as depressed as before, and can still threaten himself, it seems that this Sadiya princess is really a lucky charm for our prince.
Sadiya happily sat in the carriage, and the maidservant next to her, Luzhu, said with a smile: "Slave and maid, Princess Hexi!" It seems that the prince also has a princess in his heart, otherwise how could he give the flower tea he made himself to the princess. ”
When Sadiya heard this, her heart was happy, but her mouth refused to admit it: "Luzhu, what are you talking nonsense, this prince is a righteous gentleman, I made food for him with my own hands, this is just a gift he gave me to express his gratitude." Where is what you said, if the prince doesn't have this mind, wouldn't it seem that this princess is self-inflicted? ”
Luzhu patted his mouth and smiled and said, "It's the slave who said the wrong thing and made the princess unhappy, so she should slap her mouth." ”
Sadia smiled and said, "Just forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Thank you, princess!" Sadia was actually very happy in her heart, but she was just joking with Luzhu.
As soon as Sadiya entered the palace, the maid came to report: "Princess Qiyu, today I heard from the people in the palace that the princess is gone." ”
"Something?! Come with me to see the princess. Sadiya heard the news that Yuwei was missing, and hurried to Yuwei's residence. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yuwei sitting in the hall drinking tea, and Sadiya asked with concern: "Di Li, I heard that you disappeared today, so I was so scared that I hurried over, just come back!" What happened? ”
"I'm fine, but I want to go out alone today to relax, so I didn't bring my maidservant and lost my way. You see, I'm not back well now, don't worry. Yuwei saw that Sadia really cared about her safety, and she was very grateful.
"It's okay, I'm going to visit the eighth prince in the palace today, this is the flower tea that the eighth prince asked me to bring back, he dried it himself, it's fragrant, I have time to let Linlang make some for you."
"Looks like it's going well today." Yuwei asked.
Sadiya was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know if the prince likes me, but I like him more and more, he is different from the men on the grassland, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I saw that his yard planted a yard of orchids, this kind of carefulness is not comparable to Ezar." I don't understand why my father asked me to marry Ezar, I have to tell my father. ”
"If you like it, you will strive for it, and happiness must be fought for by yourself." Yu Wei comforted.
Sadiya asked: "Di Li, I'm sorry, I was supposed to come and kiss, but I asked you to replace me, I can see that the fourth prince cares about you and loves you very much, and I also hope you can be happy." ”
Yu Wei shook her head and said, "I want to, I don't blame you, I'm very happy now." ”
At this time, Murong Mufeng came in and asked, "Did you disturb your two sisters?" ”
"No, Lord Wang, I'll come over to deliver flower tea, I'll go down first if there's nothing to do now, don't disturb you and the princess." Sadiya is also a person with vision, and when she saw Murong Mufeng coming, she found an excuse to leave.
"The eldest princess brought some flower tea, I'll make some for the prince."
"This was taken back from Murong Haoxuan?" Murong Mufeng frowned and asked.
"Yes, I heard the eldest princess say that the eighth prince made it himself." Yuwei replied.
"I don't want to drink flower tea today, you can give it to me, I'll just let Lingxi brew it for me when I'm free." couldn't help but break up, and Murong Mufeng took the flower tea in Yuwei's hand away.
"You! I haven't drunk it yet, so you took it away, lord! Yu Wei said indignantly.
"The king has brought you something better to eat from the palace today. Lingxi, bring today's peach blossom brew to the princess. ”
After a while, Lingxi came over with a pot of peach blossoms.
"Princess, please take a seat, this king will have a good drink with you tonight." Murong Mufeng opened the lid of the wine as he spoke.
A peach blossom fragrance came to her face, and Yuwei was also intoxicated by this fragrance, as if she was in a ten-mile peach forest.
"This wine is so good!" Yu Wei couldn't help but admire.
"This wine has been buried for fifty years, and you have a good day, Princess. Come, this king will give the princess a glass first! Seeing that the relationship between the princess and the princess was so good, the subordinates took the initiative to retreat.
This peach blossom brew is sweet in the mouth, and it doesn't go up at all when you drink it, Yuwei drank several glasses in a row, and praised: "Good wine!" ”
"If the princess likes it, the king has brought back several altars today. Drink as much as you like, it's not enough to know that the king of Japan will let the emperor reward a few more altars. ”
"Murong Mufeng, why are you so good to me today, you want to get me drunk? Say! What is there to ask? ”
"No, Princess, you really wronged this king. This king just wants to drink with the princess tonight, enjoy the moon and talk about his heart. Murong Mufeng grabbed a glass of peach blossom brew and drank it all.
