There were two prosperous red maple trees at the gate of the palace, and the leaves like fire were falling in the wind, and the reflection in his warm pupils seemed to be ignited by a flame, and his eyes were burning.

"Zhaoning has seen His Highness ......"

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Before Shen Xihe could bend his knees, he was helped up by Xiao Huayong.

"Your Highness." Shen Xihe broke away from his arm without a trace.

"Titicacaca......" Xiao Huayong seemed to be in a hurry, and a series of coughs couldn't be stopped.

"Your Highness, it's windy here, and the county lord asks the palace to speak." Xiao Huayong's inner servant said busily.

Xiao Huayong coughed and was helped to turn around and go to the palace, originally just wanted to invite Shen Xihe, who was leaving: ......

Forget it, don't worry about the terminally ill.

Shen Xihe could only take Jasper and Ruby and walked in.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, Shen Xihe's eyes lit up, and the East Palace was resplendent from the outside, but it was full of greenery and vitality inside.

There are many exotic flowers and plants in the East Palace, many of which are varieties that Shen Xihe has never seen, and there is a fresh breath floating in the wind, which makes people can't help but close their eyes and smell deeply.

For a moment, Shen Xihe felt that he was not in a depressed and depressed deep palace, but a paradise full of flowers.

"Hey, why is this yard full of moss?" They passed by a garden with moss, and Hongyu couldn't help but whisper Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe looked at the golden round fruits of different sizes on the moss, like a warm sun emitting a dazzling light: "This is the golden moss." ”

"The county lord has good eyesight." Xiao Huayong, who was in front of him, stopped and coughed lightly twice, "When Jin Wuxi falls, the garden is full of splendour, and it is beautiful, I am happy to come here at night." He had a chance to invite the county lord to come and enjoy it together. ”

This sentence has a certain hint, Shen Xihe, as a courtier, can't stay in the palace, how can he accompany the crown prince to enjoy the garden at night?

Unless......

Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong with some inquiry, his gaze was as gentle and even clear as ever, so frank that everyone who doubted him felt ashamed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." ”

She didn't respond, Xiao Huayong was a little gloomy with the naked eye, but she was still gentle: "Titicaca, county lord, please inside." ”

So far, Xiao Huayong gave Shen Xihe the impression that he was a good-tempered son, he had the elegance and elegance of a noble son of heaven, but he did not have the aggressiveness of a royal lady.

Xiao Huayong has obviously made a lot of preparations, the hospitality hall is on a high platform, and he can see the outline of half of the East Palace, and the view is excellent.

The vines are intertwined with fruit vines, and the vines are hung with round and crystalline grapes, which do not need to be smoked with any spices, and the floral and fruity aromas linger in the nose, which makes people unconsciously relax.

"It's almost noon, I'll prepare some refreshments for the county lord to taste." Xiao Huayong sat down and asked Tianyuan to take the palace people of the East Palace to hold a plate of refreshments.

Kyoto tea is abundant, there are five or six kinds of cakes alone, all of which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant without flowers, sweet but not greasy.

There is also a roasting soul burn, which is a dish that only takes the most essence of the lamb leg and bakes it with the secret recipe of the palace, which is a rare refreshment only available in the royal family.

Shen Xihe has eaten it twice and never forgets it. I have studied it many times in private, but I have not worked out the formula after all.

The small stove was steaming, Xiao Huayong wrapped the cloth and picked up the casserole, he filtered the first brewed tea and divided it into three tea bowls.

His movements are slow, but they don't feel clumsy at all, and even his every move attracts attention.

"County Lord, please." Xiao Huayong poured tea, and Tianyuan bowed down to Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe took it with both hands, and when he lifted the tea lid, there was an amazing tea fragrance floating.

After smelling it, Shen Xihe took a sip, and this tea had a smoothness that other teas did not have.

When tasting tea before, Shen Xihe's first reaction was what kind of tea, but this cup of tea made Shen Xihe completely forget the origin of tea tasting, but was attracted by the taste of the tea soup itself.

When the taste buds of the tea disappeared, Shen Xihe was shocked to realize that she hadn't drunk any kind of tea, and couldn't help but take another sip.

This time, I tasted it with a purpose, but I didn't know what kind of tea it was.

"This is the tea I grew with my own hands." As if seeing that Shen Xihe was discerning, Xiao Huayong smiled gently, "Don't dislike the county lord." ”

"No, it's the best tea I've ever had." Shen Xihe said truthfully, "Your Highness is good at making tea. ”

Xiao Huayong smiled slightly: "I had a serious illness when I was young, and then I didn't have to spend energy and energy, and I couldn't learn literature and martial arts as well as my brothers. Over the years, the only thing that has been obsessed with the present is the joy of tea, so I have some experience. ”

He was obviously smiling, but Shen Xihe seemed to be able to read the gloomy past behind him from his sincere smile.

"Your Highness, you can learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the goods will be with the emperor's family." Shen Xihe unconsciously softened his tone, "You don't need to learn this, these will be held in front of you." ”

Xiao Huayong's eyes were bright: "County Lord, you are the first person to tell me this." ”

"Probably ...... We are in the same boat. Shen Xihe smiled.

They are just as frail, they are just as eager for something out of reach, and they are just as fond of flowers and plants.

"Sympathy for the same fate......" Xiao Huayong muttered and coughed again.

At this time, the roasted soul burn was served, and Xiao Huayong put it in front of Shen Xihe: "I can't eat the roasted meat." ”

Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong's appearance, his weak physique really had to avoid being greasy.

At present, Shen Xihe is of course not polite, Rao likes it, and she is just a taste.

She never reveals her preferences easily.

Once a person has a preference and is mastered, it is a fatal weakness.

So she didn't have more than every refreshment, no less, and she put it aside after tasting it.

"What do you want me to do with what the county lord has handed over to me?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Huayong suddenly said this.

Shen Xihe raised her eyes, she knew that Xiao Huayong was referring to the evidence she intercepted from Xiao Changying, no wonder it was past two or three months, this matter was still unresolved, it turned out that Xiao Huayong had been pinching it in his hand and had never let it out.

Looking at Xiao Huayong, who asked sincerely, Shen Xihe was wondering if it was because she thought about people's hearts too complicated, so she felt that the person in front of her couldn't see clearly? Or is this person in front of him actually unfathomable?

"County Lord, compared with several brothers and brothers, although I am not smart, I am not stupid." Xiao Huayong still smiled as kindly as sunshine, "It was the county lord who saved the ninth brother." ”

So when you get the evidence, you must know that it was given by Shen Xihe.

"Your Highness......" Shen Xihe suddenly asked tentatively, "Don't you think that I have a treacherous mind and intend to provoke a dispute between His Highness and His Royal Highness the Lie King?" ”

Xiao Huayong glanced at Shen Xihe seriously, then shook his head and smiled: "What bad intentions can the county lord have?" ”
