Chapter 97: Let's Eat Together
Ye Anran slept for two hours, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon, and she woke up with sleepy eyes: "Xiaorong, make me a cup of tea." ”
"Yes, by the way, Master Princess, this is what Steward Xu asked Xiaoguang to bring to you, saying that it was a gift from someone named you." Xiao Rong didn't forget about the brocade box, and immediately said Xiao Guang's original words.
"Oh? Really? It shouldn't be my father and sister, they won't send it directly to the palace. Sure enough, Ye Anran's thoughts were the same as Xiao Rong's, and he guessed that it was not sent by his own family, because the way was different.
Ye Anran slowly opened the brocade box, and was stunned for a moment, because what it contained was not a rare treasure, but a box of ordinary osmanthus cakes that could not be used in ordinary times.
Although it was just osmanthus cake, Ye Anran's heart still trembled, because since she was a child, her favorite pastry was osmanthus cake, who knew so much that she had come all the way from Yangzhou to bring this characteristic osmanthus cake? Look at the packaging to know that this is not Bianjing's thing, because Bianjing because the weather is quite cold, so osmanthus does not grow, only Yangzhou has so many delicious pastries.
"This is the osmanthus cake of August Zhai, and the fragrance of August osmanthus is also the August Zhai of Yangzhou, but who knows that I like this thing except my father and sister?" Ye Anran said to himself suspiciously.
Then she saw an inconspicuous note in the corner of the brocade box, which would be difficult to find if she was not careful.
She opened the note, and Juanxiu's font jumped on the paper - An Ran, I vaguely remember that you like this osmanthus cake, a few days ago I passed by Yangzhou and brought some to you, and I smiled at it, and there was only one word at the end of the payment, and that word was she never thought of it, it turned out to be the word Meng.
Ye Anran couldn't help but blurt out: "People from the Gusu Meng family? Don't...... Is it Meng Zhaoyang? ”
Hearing the princess say this, Xiao Rong was also stunned......
"Master Princess, what do you mean...... These pastries were sent by Meng Gongzi from Gusu? Xiao Rong's first reaction was also Meng Zhaoyang, because apart from the Gusu Meng family, Ye Anran didn't know the second surnamed Meng.
"Well, it should be Meng Zhaoyang." Ye Anran held the brocade box and couldn't say it in her heart, because of her affection for Jia Luo, she turned her back on the marriage between the Ye family and the Meng family, insisted on withdrawing from the marriage, and later figured out that when she wanted to marry in the past, she received the emperor's holy decree to marry, so for the Meng family, these are indeed a bit unfair, although Ye Anran vaguely remembered that she had only seen Meng Zhaoyang once when she was very young, but she still felt guilty about the Meng family and Meng Zhaoyang, after all, it was because of the Ye family that she withdrew from the marriage.
But now I didn't expect that the people of the Meng family didn't care about that incident, and even sent pastries over, Ye Anran was a little moved, she stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of osmanthus cake, put it in her mouth, and a sweet fragrance immediately spread on the tip of her tongue, she has never tasted such a taste since she came to the palace and came to Bianjing.
Although my father also sent gifts, most of them were tea, and my sister also sent them all things from the palace, most of which were ornaments and silk satin from the emperor.
Now that she tasted the taste of this hometown, Ye Anran was really unspeakably happy, she relieved herself and said to Xiao Rong with a smile: "Come, Xiao Rong, you can also taste it, the osmanthus cake in August Zhai is really the best." ”
"Slaves don't dare." Since Xiao Rong came to the palace, he has obviously been a little angry, not because he has a bad relationship with the master, but because there are many rules in the palace, and the prince is tyrannical, so he doesn't dare to eat or take anything casually.
"Xiaorong, what's wrong with you? There are no outsiders here, come, let's eat together. Without waiting for Xiao Rong to speak, Ye Anran pulled Xiao Rong to sit down and picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Rong's mouth.
Now she ate what she didn't eat, Xiao Rong praised while eating: "Master princess, this Meng family is really good, even if you withdraw from the marriage, you still walk around with our Ye family, and the old man was worried that the Meng family would cut off contact with the Ye family because of this." ”
"No, Mrs. Meng is my mother's fellow villager, and she is young, it is impossible for such a deep relationship to stop moving at all because of the divorce, Meng Zhaoyang is really a good person, but I don't have the blessing to be his wife." Speaking of this, Ye Anran smiled bitterly.
Xiao Rong knew the pain in his master's heart, so he comforted: "Princess, master, don't think about it, you will definitely be blessed with such a great deal of fortune." ”
"Xiaorong, you don't understand, sometimes it's because of this face that I won't live happily." Ye Anran understood that the reason why the fate of himself and his sister changed suddenly was because the emperor glanced at her under the blue bridge.
If it weren't for that, she and her sister might have been living a normal life, maybe her sister and Fang Xiu would have been lovers and finally married, and she might have married into the Gusu Meng family.
As for Jia Luo, Ye Anran seemed to have felt that it was really just a dream, that man disappeared out of thin air like that, if it weren't for the fact that Ziyu was still on her neck, she would feel that these were all fantasies of herself, maybe there was no Jia Luo at all.
Yiren Garden
Steward Xu walked over and knelt down gently: "Master, are you looking for a minion?" ”
Xigong Jue lazily hugged Xiangyi, his eyes were too lazy to raise a moment, and asked, "I heard that you gave Chunxiao Pavilion a brocade box this morning?" What is it? Who sent it? ”
"It was sent by a man, saying that it was the meaning of his master, and he wanted to give it to the princess Niangniang, and the slave thought that it might be the princess's fellow villagers or something, or the princess's family in Yangzhou, you know, the master's things, the slave never dared to ask more." Although Steward Xu said so on the surface, but the prince was not in the palace at all in the morning, how could he know about it? The only explanation is that Miss Xiangyi's maidservant saw this incident and told the prince, he knew that the relationship between the prince and the princess had been tense recently, so he naturally paid attention to every move on the side of Chunxiao Pavilion.
"Almost all of the things sent by her family are sent to the Ye family's tea house in Bianjing, and then Xiaorong's girl will get it, she won't send it so directly, you go down first, this matter will be found out by the king, by the way, call Xiu Lei." Since Nie Tian helped Ye An before, Xigong Jue subconsciously handed over the matter about Ye Anran to Xiu Lei to investigate, maybe he didn't believe in Nie Tian's loyalty, at least in Ye Anran's matter, he still had palpitations.
"Yes, the minion is gone." Before leaving, Steward Xu glanced at Miss Xiangyi and found that Xiangyi's eyes were full of pride.
"Xiangyi, what do you think about this matter?" Xigong Jue rarely took the initiative to ask Xiangyi's meaning, because in his eyes, Xiangyi was at most a bed warmer, but asking such a question today really flattered Xiangyi.
"The slave is just a subordinate, and he doesn't dare to ask about the master's affairs." Xiangyi still avoided it very carefully.
"It's okay, this king doesn't blame you, you just have to say your own opinion." Nishinomiya Jue said calmly, as if there was no anger.
