When Xiao Ti returned to the county king's mansion, it was already late at night.

The winter nights were particularly cold, and as soon as he opened the door, the cold wind poured into the house.

Mama Xiuyan helped him take off his cloak, handed it to the maid next to him, and asked.

"Have you had dinner?"

Xiao Ti: "No, what about the curling people?" ”

"The princess is still in the study, saying that she wants to write a recipe, she has been writing for an afternoon, and she has written it heartily, and even dinner is used in the study."

"I'll go see her."

After Xiao Ti finished speaking, he walked out.

Aunt Xiuyan hurriedly caught up: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, the slave maid asked someone to leave the meal, and this will be sent to you." ”

Xiao Ti's footsteps did not stop, and he came straight to the door of the study.

The door was just hidden, and it opened with a slight push.

He walked in and saw Yu Yuanxuan lying on the bookcase and falling asleep.

She had a freshly finished recipe in front of her, a brush in her right hand, and a little black ink on her face, which looked ridiculous.

Xiao Ti took the brush from her hand, put it on the pen mountain, and then used a wet handkerchief to help her wipe the ink off her face.

His movements are very gentle, and the gaze in his eyes is more gentle.

He slept soundly, unaware of everything around him.

Xiao Ti brought a blanket and gently covered her body.

The dim candlelight fell on her face, making her the only brightness in Xiao Ti's eyes.

He watched her so quietly that he didn't take his eyes off her for a long time.

Until there was a gentle knock on the door, Auntie Xiuyan stood at the door and asked.

"Your Royal Highness, where are you going to have dinner?"

Xiao Ti raised his hand and made a silent motion, signaling her not to speak.

It's a pity that he was a step late, and Yu Yuanxuan had already woken up.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and asked angrily, "Tired, when did you come back?" ”

Xiao Ti: "I just came back, don't sleep here, be careful of catching a cold, go back to your room and sleep." ”

Yu Yuan let out a big yawn.

"Won't you sleep together?"

Xiao Ti: "I haven't washed yet, you go first, I'll come later." ”

"Oh, then I'll go first."

Yu Yuanxuan put away the recipe in front of him, then stood up and walked outside.

Aunt Xiuyan: "Princess Jun, will the slave send you back to the room?" ”

Yu Yuan waved his little hand: "No, you stay here and serve the king of Langjun." ”

Mama Xiuyan had no choice but to stay where she was and watch the princess leave.

Then Mama Xiuyan asked the food to be delivered to the study.

"Your Royal Highness, eat it while it's hot."

As she spoke, she placed a bowl full of rice in front of Xiao Ti.

Xiao Ti didn't move the chopsticks directly, but looked at her and asked.

"How many years have you been in the palace?"

Embroidery Mama: "It's been almost forty years. ”

Xiao Ti: "Then do you know about Concubine Meng?" ”

Aunt Xiuyan: "Of course I know,

Concubine Meng is a rare kind-hearted person in the palace.

When the slave maid first entered the palace, she was bullied at a young age, and she happened to be seen by Concubine Meng.

She not only reprimanded the palace people who bullied the slave maid, but also rewarded the slave maid with a box of ointment.

The effect of the ointment was very good, and after the slave and maid rubbed the medicine, the bruises on her body quickly dissipated. ”

Xiao Ti didn't expect that she still had such a relationship with Concubine Meng, and immediately took out the jade jade bracelet.

"Have you ever seen this bracelet?"

Embroidery Yan took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, then shook her head: "Never." ”

Xiao Ti asked again: "This is Concubine Meng's bracelet, are you sure you have never seen her wear it?" ”

Mama Xiuyan still shook her head.

"Not really."

Xiao Ti was a little disappointed, it seemed that the clue was broken again.

Embroidery Yan gave him back the bracelet and proposed.

"If you want to know about Concubine Meng, why don't you ask the palace maids who are serving around her, they must know more than the slaves."

Xiao Ti bowed his head: "Well, I'll ask someone when I go back." ”

Mama Xiuyan didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly said.

"If you really can't find a clue, you can go to the Queen Mother to try your luck, Concubine Meng had a very good relationship with the Queen Mother before her death, and the Queen Mother may be able to know about her."

Xiao Ti was quite surprised: "How could the Queen Mother be good friends with Concubine Meng?" ”

Not only are these two people separated by generations, but they also have no blood relationship, so it stands to reason that they can't beat each other.

Xiuyan Mama: "I heard that the reason why the Queen Mother was able to enter the palace as a concubine was because of the blessing of Concubine Meng, but what was going on, the slave and maid were not very clear. ”

Xiao Ti showed a thoughtful expression.

Mama Xiuyan waited for a moment, and when she saw that he had nothing else to ask, she silently retreated.

When Xiao Ti finished dinner and returned to the bedroom after washing, he saw that he was already lying on the bed and falling asleep.

He took off his coat, lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay down lightly beside him.

Yu Yuanxuan noticed the movement around her and opened her eyes slightly.

Xiao Ti: "Woke you up?" ”

Yu Xuan turned around and burrowed into his arms.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Ti took advantage of the situation and hugged her: "I'm sorry, I'm too slow." ”

Yu Yuan raised his little head: "Don't apologize, kiss ~"

Xiao Ti kissed him almost without any hesitation.

The lips of the two were pressed together and then separated.

Yu Yuan slammed his mouth and smiled.

"Garlic smelly!"

Xiao Ti ate garlic pork ribs for dinner just now, but he didn't expect him to rinse his mouth and be tasted by her.

He smiled dumbly, and patted her on the back with his large hand.

"It's not early, go to bed."

The next morning, Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti finished breakfast together.

Yu Xuan wiped his mouth clean, and said to Xiao Ti.

"I have something to do today, I need to take a leave of absence, so I can't go to the Fa-rectification Division with you."

Xiao Ti asked casually, "Where are you going?" ”

Yu Yuanxuan pretended to smile mysteriously.

"I won't tell you."

Xiao Ti didn't need to guess to know that she should want to sell recipes to make money.

But in order to retain the sense of surprise, he didn't ask anything, only admonished.

"Don't go out alone."

Yu Yuan: "Got it." ”

She put on a veil and ran out with cheerful steps, and when she met Ling Hai on the way, she immediately waved at him.

"Come here, I'm looking for you!"

Since Ling Hai came to the Junwang Mansion, he has been very cramped, everything here is too unfamiliar.

Everyone in the house has their own things to do, but he is the only one who has nothing to do.

He's like a dry eater, useless at all.

Ling Hai didn't want to just wait, so he took the initiative to come to the princess of the county, wanting to ask for some work.

Hearing the princess say that she had something to look for herself, Ling Hai perked up, ran to her quickly, and asked expectantly.

"What do you command?"

Yu Yuanyu: "I'm going out to do something, you go and bring my car over." ”

"Whoa!"

Ling Hai thought that the princess's car should be a famous horse similar to the dark clouds, but when he came to the stable, what he saw was a gray donkey.
