"It's none of your business. (Just go to the Biqu Pavilion)" The prince turned around coldly and squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth.

Although this sentence was cold, it fell on Cai Jian's ears, but it was extremely pleasant, and his stiff heart was revived in an instant.

Cai Jian quietly glanced at the prince, the prince's face was covered with a layer of frost, his slightly narrowed cold eyes had a trace of cold leakage, and his eyes stared straight at the gazebo, a corner of the pavilion was left with petals, the petals were mixed in the fallen leaves, and the wind blew and rolled all over the ground.

Cai Jianju looked at it, within a radius of a thousand meters, there are barren mountains and mountains, where there is the shadow of flowers, these flowers are in the flower market of the capital, everywhere, maybe someone transported them from the capital, decorating the pavilion, not cleaned up, a few petals left in the pavilion, adding flower tones to the desolate suburbs.

Around the pavilion, there seemed to be a message floating in King Yu, even if King Yu left, it gave the prince a sense of oppression, which made the prince unhappy.

He was stunned in his heart, it seems that King Yu took the initiative to the county sincerely, willing to spend a lot of money, rushed to see off the county lord, this matter is a big impact on the prince, so that the prince is angry, in his heart has a mustard, can not let go, standing here sulking.

The prince clenched his hands into fists, and a wave of anger gathered in his palms, eager to destroy the pavilion with one palm and bury all the traces left here by King Yu.

Cai Jian was secretly frightened, it seems that the bell must be tied to the bell, as long as it has a relationship with the county lord, the prince will be concerned, and now only the county lord can make the prince cheerful.

He stumbled upon a burden on the table, and a thought crossed his mind. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he lifted the food box, and nagged to himself: "If you don't eat a little something, then it's done?" My stomach was so hungry that I didn't even have the strength to turn over my horse, so I couldn't rush to the post station to rest for the night. ”

He chattered in his mouth, and his hands were not idle, picking up layer after layer of food boxes, and from the lowest food box, he took out a tightly wrapped paper bag.

Put the paper bag on the table, carefully peel off the layers of paper, revealing rows of neatly stacked osmanthus cakes, he pointed to the small and exquisite pastries, and sighed: "I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it." It is better to see than to hear, the county lord is really a wonderful person, the osmanthus cake made by himself, the style, the color, and the taste are all superior, which is better than the osmanthus cake made by the imperial kitchen in the palace, and is better than the golden signboard of the century-old brand in the capital, and the pastries made by the pastry shop are delicious. It's a must. ”

"Ah, it smells so good."

The fragrance of osmanthus cake wafted in the gazebo, gradually diluting the smell of flowers,

A gust of wind swept the petals into the distance, and the lip flap was finally buried in the wind and sand, the prince's straight eyes finally turned, and his expressionless face finally reacted, and he turned his head to look at the osmanthus cake.

A gurgling voice came, destroying the layer of ice in his heart, Cai Jian continued to explain the origin of this bag of osmanthus cakes: "The last time the county lord entered the palace, he made his own osmanthus cake to honor the queen mother, the queen mother ate it and praised it, and there was a box of osmanthus cake reluctant to eat, and ordered the palace maid to take the osmanthus cake and send it to the prince's bedroom. The prince just told Zai Xia that it is best to taste cakes when you are hungry. It makes sense when you think about it, when you are full and taste the pastry, the natural taste is a little worse. ”

"Bold!" The prince's eyelids twitched, his right hand clenched, and a sharp palm wind gathered.

The prince's face changed abruptly, and Cai Jian had already taken precautions. In a hurry, he lifted the food box and jumped open, he hurriedly waved his hand: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry, and he doesn't dare to joke with the prince if he borrows the next guts." The prince didn't ask who made the osmanthus cake, and he didn't say the origin of the osmanthus cake, but he hoped that when the prince tasted the cake, he would seriously evaluate the osmanthus cake out of public heart, and the county lord's level of cake making would be truly appreciated by the prince. ”

Cai Jian paused, seeing that the prince had no disgust, he put the food box on the table without fear of death, and muttered to himself. At the end, he added: "I remember that the prince said: when you are hungry, the cake has an endless aftertaste, and when you leave the palace, you will take the osmanthus cake with you at any time, take it out at a critical moment, and ask the prince to taste, the prince is hungry now, and this should be the best time to taste the cake, so that you have an endless aftertaste." ”

The prince's eyes looked into the distance, looking for the traces of the beauty, the beauty was gone, and no longer appeared in front of his eyes, but the beauty left him osmanthus cake, which made him feel warm in his heart. Looking at the pieces of osmanthus cakes of different shapes, it is like seeing several different faces, which one is the real her?

A pair of mischievous, smart big eyes, flashing with cunning, appeared in front of his eyes, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Cai Jian struck while the iron was hot, opened the food box, took out the osmanthus cake, and put it on the stone table, the fragrance of the osmanthus cake came to his nose, he took a deep breath of the aroma, and couldn't help but praise: "Ah, it's so fragrant, I don't know if the osmanthus cake made by the imperial chef is delicious, or the golden sign of the century-old brand in Beijing, the osmanthus cake made by the pastry shop is delicious, or the county lord's is delicious, I am very curious, I want to compare whose craftsmanship is higher." ”

Cai Jian, who has always been not good at words, is like a ghost possessed today, with quick thinking, like a river, talking endlessly, and seeing that he has not touched the prince's heart.

In desperation, he took the next three indiscriminate practices, under the nose of the prince, grabbed the pastry, forced the prince to make a move, his eyes stared at the osmanthus cake placed on it, swallowed saliva and tested the prince: "Prince, if you don't like to eat osmanthus cake, then you are not welcome, the right to reward the gift to the next." Under all smiles and take away. ”

As soon as the words fell, a big hand that held a sword all the year round slowly lifted up, which was close to the osmanthus cake, and was unceremoniously slapped off by the prince: "It's not your share." ”

The prince brought the food box in front of him, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, a pair of cold eyes shot at the smiling Cai Jian, Cai Jian quickly held back the smile, raised his hand, slightly bent to cover his smiling lips, and coughed gently.

Cai Jian took out the water bag from his waist, unscrewed the lid, took out a bowl from the food box, raised his hand to pour a bowl of tea for the prince, and sent it to the prince: "Prince, please use tea." ”

The prince raised his hand to pick up the bowl and took a sip of tea: "If you have something to say, why do you swallow it?" If you can satisfy me today, you will be able to deserve it. ”

A pair of sharp eyes fell on him fiercely, looking at what medicine was sold in his gourd? Cai Jian had long expected that the prince would not let him go, and he clasped his fists at the prince and saluted unhurriedly: "Cai Jian has thanked the prince here, thank the prince for not punishing him." ”

"Hmph" a cold snort, making Cai Jian instinctively shrink his neck, under the prince's domineering gaze, he withdrew his gaze, he considered the words, and said carefully: "Prince, there is a plan below, what do you think?" ”

"When did you become a mother-in-law? That's not your style. The prince squinted at him coldly.

Seeing that the prince was finally willing to speak, Cai Jian was secretly happy in his heart, as long as the prince was willing to speak, it would be easy to do: "King Yu blows the flute and sends it to the county lord, and the prince will put a lantern to send the county lord, which is the biggest and shocking than you." than the heart, the prince is the most sincere, thousands of miles to see off the county lord, and the lantern sends the prince the truest blessing. The county lord will definitely be moved to tears. This will allow you to get the heart of the county lord. ”

The prince swallowed the pastry in his mouth and glanced at Cai Jian with an unknown gaze: "Two birds with one stone." ”

"Yes, it is understandable for the prince to send lanterns to the county lord. King Yu rushed to send off the flute for the county lord that was disobeying the holy decree, we took the opportunity to muddy the matter, using the lantern to create momentum, once the matter reached the palace, the emperor will be furious, to the king of Yu set a charge of disobedience to the holy decree, punish the king of Yu, maybe bad things will become good things. The emperor broke King Yu's thoughts, broke King Yu's wings, and in a fit of anger, he married the county lord to the prince. Promote the good things in the world. ”

"Is this trick feasible?" The prince's face was a little ugly, and a hint of gloom flashed between his eyebrows.

"Prince, you don't have to worry, your father-in-law went to your palace to convey the emperor's message, and you can't return to Beijing without the emperor's decree." Cai Jian stepped on the solid ground: "Prince, where we are standing now, we are at the intersection of Jincheng and the capital, we have not entered the realm of the capital at present, and we are not disobeying the holy decree if we rush back in advance." ”

"You still know my heart, if it works out this time, I will not only not punish you, but also reward you heavily." The cold ice gathered on the prince's face gradually melted, the anger just now was swept away, replaced with a smile, and his tone became relaxed and casual, recovering his former high-spirited expression, picking up a piece of dim sum, putting it in his mouth and tasting it slowly: "Hey, the feeling before and after is very different, just now tasting the cake is equivalent to chewing wax, and now I think the osmanthus cake is really delicious." ”

Hehehe, prince, it seems that the cake is focused on the word 'product'. ”

"The children can be taught, and the cake should also be tasted."

The prince chewed and swallowed a piece of pastry in his mouth, and after telling Cai Jian about the experience of tasting cakes, he casually put down his robe and got up to stand up: "It's not too early, I estimate that my father will recruit me into the palace, and I will wait for the holy decree at the post station." Prepare to enter the palace to resume life. ”

Cai Jian followed the prince's instructions, immediately walked to the lawn, and led the red-maned fierce horse that was gnawing grass, the prince took the reins, turned over and jumped on the horse,

He rushed to the post station to rest before dark, and received the holy decree, he must rush back to the capital before dark, and he doesn't know what will wait for him when he returns to Beijing?

Cai Jian also jumped on the dark horse and stood side by side with the prince, he pointed to the two roads, and said to the prince: "Prince, there are two roads ahead, let's act separately, take the small road below, take a shortcut and rush to Jincheng to buy lanterns, and we will definitely surprise the county lord tonight." You go ......"

"No need, let's go." The prince rode on his horse and watched the road to the capital. was silent for a while, stopping Cai Jian.

Cai Jian was stunned: "Why?" ”

"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman wins. When two tigers fight, one must be injured, and I don't want King Yu to be hurt. ”

"Driving" the prince did not turn back to beat the horse and whip, and took the lead to rush to the mountain road, Cai Jian paused, and also rode the horse to follow, and the horse's hooves drove by, raising dust in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

A gust of wind blew and swept away all the horseshoe prints on the ground, leaving no traces, restoring the original desolate and natural ecology.

Their figures vanished, and soon disappeared into the dust.
