Chapter XVIII

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Zaiyang didn't know why he was busy, he didn't come to the door for a long time, and he even went to the study to take leave, and he didn't show up at all.

The other Miss Lang Jun who were also studying in the study had many disappointments in their hearts, but Yu Kansong, Xie Zhiyuan and He Qianwei were not affected at all, and they still did what they should do, and even in the process of reading and playing together, even the friendship between them was a little deeper.

The first two are already prominent in their family backgrounds, and they have a real friendship with Xiao Zaiyang, and they can't seize every opportunity to please each other, and they have the consciousness of not asking what they shouldn't ask; And He Qianwei's reaction was purely because she couldn't see Xiao Zaiyang, but Ji Xiu, who came with a bunch of gifts every once in a while, was common.

In the first few days, He Qianwei was still a little worried, and she always asked Ji Xiu a few more words, but after a long time, she became accustomed to this, and even when she received gifts, she was not ambiguous at all, but she didn't ask what Xiao Zaiyang was doing recently.

He Qianwei has already figured it out: Anyway, in the end, Xiao Zaiyang will either take the initiative to explain when he is busy one day, or he will directly fool the past.

No matter how you look at it, there is no need to ask this mouth......

While thinking, she commanded the palace people to deliver today's gift to her.

So far, Xiao Zaiyang knows He Qianwei's preferences well, at least he has a little experience, and specially picks her to send it that she is interested in.

Dresses, satins, and jade jewelry will not be sent.

I don't mention what the other little girls are, but He Qianwei is not interested in it at all.

She used to be the only daughter in the family, and there were no other elders besides her parents, and she always used the best food and clothing. Even if he moved to Wancheng later, his standard of living had to be reduced a lot, but he was still pampered and grew up.

Now that He Qianwei is in the palace, the two highest powers in the dynasty have taken great care of her, and she has reached a new state of luxury, which is really ...... It's just average.

The young ladies outside who fought for the status, favor and other meanings represented by the object would probably vomit blood in anger if they knew her mood.

To sum up, what did Xiao Zaiyang send to He Qianwei recently?

A water of cat toys, cat litter, cat food...... In short, they are all cat-related utensils, and there are even two chamberlains who are specifically responsible for raising cats.

He Qianwei's self-awareness ability was almost perfect, and she deeply understood that she would never be able to take good care of the cat all the time, so she accepted it all with peace of mind.

Even as a return gift, he also stuffed Ji Xiu with a food box to express his heart.

Ji Xiu was alarmed when he saw the food box, and when he entered his hand, he smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus coming out of the box, and he only felt that it was true for a while.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed a few times, maintaining the identity and demeanor of the chief eunuch of the East Palace, thanking him for his thoughtful manners, and walking calmly out of the Yaoguang Palace.

Ruolan left with him, looking like she was going to take a few more steps.

Who knew that as soon as he stepped out of the main door, Ji Xiu immediately opened his mouth in an unpredictable tone.

"Aunt Ruolan, this ......" he twisted his eyebrows and asked as tactfully as possible, "Is there any osmanthus left in the Yaoguang Palace?" ”

Ruolan snorted: "Autumn Shadow is honest, I went to fight osmanthus for several days in a row, and I returned with a full load every time." She also quite understood Ji Xiu's reaction, after all, Yaoguang Palace's own people were about to eat out of the psychological shadow......

Naturally, Gu Xuan's craftsmanship is still very good. But eating too much of the same thing will inevitably have such a reaction, but He Qianwei couldn't see the ingredients being wasted, so she decided to continue to hold on.

Should I say it, in fact, Ruolan always felt that He Qianwei's gift of osmanthus cake was a bit of a sense of finding someone to help her share the pain.

Ji Xiu obviously thought of this layer as well.

He sneered, squeezed a few syllables out of his throat in reply, and then pulled the subject elsewhere.

It wasn't until she walked all the way to the end of the palace road that Ruolan stopped and didn't send more, and Ji Xiu picked up the food box and turned around and walked slowly towards the East Palace, only then did he loosen his expression and complain in his heart.

Your Highness, you brought this on yourself.

Ji Xiu's idea can be regarded as more or less schadenfreude. No way, he is also a musician, and his mental activities are so rich that he can fight with the careful thinking of the minister.

However, halfway through the fun, Ji Xiu suddenly remembered that with the temperament of His Royal Highness the Prince, he would definitely eat this osmanthus cake; But he could just take a small bite and give the rest to others!

To whom? Of course, it is the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, who works hard and complains, where there is a pit and where to plant.

Can't be more happy.

Ji Xiu's face turned serious.

He had to find a way to solve this matter before returning to the East Palace, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand it if he ate more.

As the only power center of the Great Revelation, the decoration of the East Palace has always been generous.

Especially when the crown prince was loved by the emperor, the reward flowed into the East Palace every month, and some of the objects in it were taken out and decorated everywhere, and the rest were piled up in the treasury, which can be described as a rich flow.

What's more, the East Palace really has real power: although Xiao Zaiyang is still young, the emperor has already intentionally or unintentionally handed over some insignificant political affairs to him, so you can imagine what will happen when he grows up.

How stable the status of the East Palace is.

However, Xiao Zaiyang himself does not care about these established facts. In contrast, he was more worried about Lin Qingyan's intricate relationship network behind this matter.

Although the emperor gave him the name to investigate the case, in fact, Tang Zhengde personally investigated it, and Xiao Zaiyang was just responsible for holding the information that had been found out and thinking about the doubts.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't think of it, there is an emperor in his pocket. But Xiao Zai's positive son is more serious, and when he is serious, it is easy to drill the horns, so he is so worried that he can't even sleep soundly.

…… Well, another important reason is that he also wanted to tell He Qianwei the truth earlier.

After flipping through another volume of testimony, Xiao Zaiyang raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his expression was tired, and he suddenly felt that his decision to delve into the case was probably not a good choice.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that he won't have a reason to see He Qianwei in the Year of the Monkey.

It just so happened that at this time, Ji Xiu, who was sent to Yaoguang Hall to give gifts, returned to the East Palace and saluted solemnly below.

Xiao Zaiyang didn't think much about it anymore, just put the book in his hand casually, and looked at Ji Xiu with his movements.

Ji Xiu came in directly with a food box, and the solid wood carved box lid also had the logo of Yaoguang Palace, which was easy to recognize.

It's all too familiar.

Xiao Zaiyang suddenly didn't want to know what kind of gift He Qianwei sent in return.

For osmanthus cake, he is also somewhat greasy.

But as the saying goes, if you can escape the first day of the first month, you can't escape the fifteenth, even if you pretend not to see it, Ji Xiu will dutifully ask how to deal with the return gift of the Yaoguang Palace.

That being the case, it is better to solve it earlier.

So Xiao Zaiyang was mentally prepared and slowly spoke: "Or osmanthus cake?" ”

Ji Xiu replied with a smile: "Gu Xuangang made it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is freshly baked. ”

Xiao Zaiyang closed his eyes in pain.

In the next period of time, he probably never wanted to hear Gu Xuan's name again, and he didn't want to touch the osmanthus cake again.

He beckoned, motioned for Ji Xiu to open a plate of osmanthus cake and put it on the table, held his chin and stared at it for a long time, before finally the strong man stretched out his hand like a broken wrist, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it urgently.

It's considered to have been tasted.

Ji Xiu also knew very well, and immediately put the plate of pastries back, and his movements were so skillful that it seemed that it was not the first time he had done this.

Obviously, he just ate a piece of pastry, but Xiao Zaiyang's face was as tired as if he had written several strategies overnight, and he commanded weakly: "Find a way to solve it." ”

He ate all those osmanthus cakes by himself before, yes, but he still came today...... I can't eat it.

Well? It's not a reward.

When Ji Xiu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he came up with one, two, three, four, five along the way...... There was no need for an alternative solution, but the situation was clearly less effort-saving, which was an unexpected surprise.

As long as you find an apprentice to be an unlucky bastard, personally supervise the other party to eat all the leftovers, and repeatedly order that you must not talk too much.

This Ji Xiu's mental activities are not shown for the time being, but Xiao Zaiyang has already begun to think about how to find an excuse and transfer He Qianwei's obsession with osmanthus cake to other things without abruptness.

Lin Qingyan's matter had reached a critical juncture, and even a little miss might affect his final judgment, so he pondered for a long time and decided to survive this time to see He Qianwei again.

However, although he couldn't go to see people in person, it didn't affect him to tell Ji Xiu to do something, so as to escape the torture of osmanthus cake.

Xiao Zaiyang stroked his chin and brainstormed.

After a while, he suddenly clenched his fists and clapped his hands, and said with a smile on his lips: "Ji Xiu." ”

Have you finally figured out a way, Your Highness?

Not to mention that there is also a master-servant friendship for more than ten years, Ji Xiu can naturally see what Xiao Zaiyang is thinking before, and now he is much more excited when he hears this life.

Don't blame Miss He, I'm really afraid of this osmanthus cake.

He silently repented in his heart, but his face showed a diametrically opposite emotion, waiting for the next command.

Xiao Zaiyang said all the ideas that flashed when he remembered the old things, and even strengthened the tune in order not to make mistakes.

When he heard the sentence "It's really not okay to ask my father directly", Ji Xiu was not surprised at all, and said in his heart, don't wait for anything to work, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to go straight to the Qinzheng Palace to find Grandpa Tang when I go out.

Of course, he didn't say it.

Far away in the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor who was still diligent and diligent and fought wits and courage did not know that Xiao Zaiyang had hit his head again.

Of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't be bad.

With the image of the emperor's awkward old father, most of them will be angry and output for a long time, while meeting Xiao Zaiyang's requirements with integrity.

Fortunately, Xiao Zaiyang is his son, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was officially canonized early in the morning, is also quite competitive, which has been praised by several princes......

Otherwise, according to the emperor's unreasonable favor, no matter what the imperial history says, it has to be played on time every day, saying that the prince is arrogant, and His Majesty has thought twice.
