Chapter Forty-Six: Ice Release of Suspicions

"Say it, I'll listen."

He Xiaoqiao poured her a cup of tea, then clasped his hands around his chest, and looked at her calmly, "It's one thing to say it well, if it's not good, then I can only ask your seventeenth uncle to help find out the truth." ”

This is a naked threat!

Jinghe looked up at her for a long time, opened and closed her mouth, and struggled for a while before she chose to confess in frustration, "Actually, I don't mean anything else, that is, I just want Aunt Seventeen to teach me how to cook......"

Because her last two words were said very lightly, He Xiaoqiao pondered for a while before reacting, and was a little surprised in his heart, "Cooking? Do you want to learn to cook? ”

"Hmm." Jinghe nodded, and saw that He Xiaoqiao did not have the slightest unhappy look on his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I heard Uncle Seventeen say that the meals and pastries you make are so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue, so ......"

"So you came to me to teach you?" He Xiaoqiao quickly took it for her.

"Yes, that's it!" Jinghe hurriedly nodded vigorously, and then looked at He Xiaoqiao with blank eyes, and his face showed that if you don't promise me, I will stay here and not leave, "Aunt Seventeen, you are so good, you will definitely teach me, right?" ”

"What is this......" He Xiaoqiao groaned, and did not respond positively, but just threw the question back, "As far as I know, all the imperial chefs in the palace have top-notch cooking skills, why do you ...... princess?"

"The food cooked by the imperial chef is not to the appetite of Uncle Seventeen, but Aunt Seventeen makes it, and Uncle Seventeen loves to eat it." Jinghe interrupted her without waiting for He Xiaoqiao to finish speaking, for fear that she would find an excuse to shirk.

The imperial chef in the palace is indeed superb, but Jiang Fenghao is famous for his mouth, and he looks down on the imperial food in the palace, but he loves He Xiaoqiao's craftsmanship. It can be seen that He Xiaoqiao must have some exclusive secret recipe, which is exactly what she wants to learn.

He Xiaoqiao couldn't see Xiao Jiujiu in Jinghe's heart, and when he heard this, he just glanced at her with strange eyes, "Do you want to cook for your seventeenth uncle?" ”

It is said that if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first grab his stomach.

Cooking in person, in addition to honoring parents and taking care of siblings, is also a must-have for romance - could it be that this girl has an uncle plot?

"What's the matter with Uncle Guan?" Jinghe almost subconsciously excluded Jiang Fenghao, and then suddenly remembered that he was his elder, which seemed a little inappropriate, and hurriedly added, "I mean, it's enough for Uncle Seventeen to have Aunt Seventeen cook for him." ”

"Then who do you want to cook for?" He Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up maliciously.

"Of course it's for the ......" The defenseless Jinghe almost let He Xiaoqiao snort, and after reacting, he hurriedly swallowed back the words behind him, lowered his head and temporarily pulled out two shields with a weak heart, "Of course, it is for the queen mother and the emperor's brother." ”

"It turned out to be for the emperor and the queen mother," He Xiaoqiao's face suddenly realized, and then he said to himself 'loudly', "It's a pity, I originally thought you were learning for your sweetheart, and there happened to be a few good dishes to teach you." ”

Jing He's eyes lit up when he heard this, and without saying a word, he grabbed He Xiaoqiao's arm and asked eagerly, "What kind of dish?" Is it tasty? Is it hard to learn? What's so special that I ......"

When she saw the narrow expression on her face, Jinghe knew that her little daughter's thoughts had been unintentionally revealed, and her face was instantly dyed red, and she was embarrassed to just find a crack in the ground to get into, "I hate it!" You actually tricked me, you did it on purpose! ”

He Xiaoqiao laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he 'didn't know', "No, no, I didn't hear anything!" ”

After saying that, he probably didn't think it was enjoyable, so he added cheaply, "But then again, it's normal for you to have a favorite object at your age, and there's nothing to be shy about." ”

"You still say!" Jinghe stomped her feet, twisted her handkerchief in both hands, and her whole face was so red that it seemed to drip blood.

"Okay, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Seeing that her eyes were really red and she looked like she was about to cry, He Xiaoqiao hurriedly raised her hands in surrender, "Let's say something else, say something else." ”

"Then you're going to teach me how to cook." Jinghe sniffed and took the opportunity to make conditions.

"No problem! For your sake...... "He Xiaoqiao originally wanted to say that he would reluctantly teach you for the sake of your good attitude today, but then he remembered that he was a princess, so it was a bit inappropriate to say this, so he immediately changed his words, "For the sake of you being Jiang Fenghao's niece, everyone is a family, and this matter will be on me." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Seventeen!" Princess Jinghe's eyes sparkled, and her mouth said with flattery, "Aunt Seventeen is the best!" ”

He Xiaoqiao smiled when he saw this, but he was afraid that Princess Jinghe would use his identity to pressure him in the future, so he turned around twice in his mind, and then poured a bucket of cold water in advance without hurrying. "But let me say it first, it's one thing to teach, it's another thing whether you can learn or not. You can't blame me or play Miss when the time comes...... The princess has a temper. In addition, you have to do what I say when cooking, and you are not allowed to make excuses to prevaricate. Stopping to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, He Xiaoqiao finally added very humanely, "Of course, if you feel that it is really unacceptable, you can also choose to give up now." ”

"Everything is up to Aunt Seventeen." Probably thinking that He Xiaoqiao's request was a bit difficult, Jinghe thought about it for a while before nodding and agreeing, frowning and awkwardly assuring, "I will definitely study hard in the future, don't be angry, don't be lazy, and don't cause trouble to Aunt Seventeen." ”

Even if she wants to find fault, she has to weigh it first, you must know that her seventeenth uncle is very precious to He Xiaoqiao now, and he is against her? No kidding, she still wants to live a long time to be a human being!

"Good." He Xiaoqiao nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted her shoulder for a moment, and patted his chest and said unashamedly, "Those who have such awareness are good seedlings." In the future, I will cover you with seventeen aunts, so don't worry about coming out boldly to mix. ”

Of course, Jinghe wouldn't take her seriously, but in order to leave a good impression on her, she still responded loudly, "Yes, Aunt Seventeen!" ”

"Good-"

After talking about apprenticeship, He Xiaoqiao immediately called back the two people who were guarding the door.

Cailian is still responsible for threading needles and threads to do embroidery work, and Suo'er is called to serve tea, water and pastries.

While Princess Jinghe was walking around her room to look at the furnishings, He Xiaoqiao looked at the paper with the underwear pattern for a while, and always felt that there seemed to be something missing, and he bit the brush shaft and pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that it was missing a steel tray, no wonder the underwear just now felt soft and soft.

Immediately, with a stroke of the pen, he drew two thin semicircles on the paper, found a maid, and told her about the size and thickness of the steel ring, and asked her to take it to the blacksmith shop.

When he turned around, he met Jinghe's inquiring eyes.

He Xiaoqiao was stunned, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Jinghe sat opposite her with his hands on his cheeks, staring at her for a moment, his small mouth pursed, and his two willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, with a puzzled look, "Aunt Seventeen, can I ask you a question?" ”

Ask questions? What is the rhythm of this?

He Xiaoqiao just froze, and then raised his eyebrows, "You ask, it's up to me to answer or not." ”

Obviously grew up in the countryside, why does He Xiaoqiao sometimes look more noble and glamorous than her, a princess with orthodox royal blood? Hell yes!

Jing He thought stupidly, but couldn't restrain his curiosity, "Didn't you know Uncle Seventeen a long time ago?" Why did he bring you back? ”

…… That's a deep question.

The corners of He Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched, and he was poked by this point-to-point question.

She is not a roundworm in Jiang Fenghao's stomach, how can she know the reason why he brought her back?

Although on the surface, she said that she wanted to repay her kindness, but in her opinion, Jiang Fenghao was clearly a cook with bad intentions and wanted to earn a lovely cook for herself - there was really enough for him!

Seeing that He Xiaoqiao's face was not very good-looking, Jinghe thought that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly consciously changed the topic, "If Aunt Seventeen has a hard time, you don't have to answer - let's change the question." ”

"What's the problem?" He Xiaoqiao took a long breath to relieve his depressed mood and asked casually.

Jinghe immediately came to her senses, and stepped forward to hold her arm very affectionately, as if the-for-tat between the two before was an illusion, "Why did Aunt Seventeen go back to the palace with my Uncle Seventeen in the first place?" Do you like him? ”

Lowering his head to look at the arm that was being held, and then looking at the beautiful little face that was very close to him, He Xiaoqiao secretly wondered in his heart: Strange, are they already familiar to this extent?

"Don't pretend you can't hear. Aunt Seventeen, just say it, I promise I won't spread it! He raised three fingers as he spoke, "I swear!" ”

"It's no need to swear," He Xiaoqiao glanced at her and calmly pressed her hand back.

"Say you like it, then there must be." The day and night are relatively long, not to mention that Jiang Fenghao is handsome and takes good care of her, and gives her money to do nonsense, saying that it would be too fake to say that she doesn't like it.

"As for why you came back with him in the first place......" After thinking about it for a long time, He Xiaoqiao could only spread his hands and spit out a sentence in a sneering manner, "Okay, in fact, I don't know it myself." ”

Dozens of black lines hung down on Princess Jinghe's head in an instant, but she quickly reacted again, looking like she knew everything, and made a summary in a brisk tone, "It must be because Uncle Seventeen is too good-looking, so Aunt Seventeen, you can't resist it." ”

After saying that, I didn't forget to nod my head and emphasize: Yes, that's right, that's it!

Because of Jiang Fenghao's looks?

He Xiaoqiao choked, and then pouted disdainfully, "Don't tease!" When I met your seventeenth uncle, with his appearance, it is estimated that no one will dare to look at him head-on for a few hundred taels of silver. ”

At that time, Jiang Fenghao was still Jiang Fenghao, he was poisoned and had no antidote to eat, and his face was shaking all day long with steamed buns sprinkled with black sesame seeds, and his appearance was so ugly, not to mention that he was a person, and even the demons and monsters didn't dare to approach easily.

In this case, he can't help but be tempted by lust because of his appearance, if he is either blind in both eyes, or he has a brain problem - He Xiaoqiao personally said that she has good eyesight and every nerve is normal, and she will never do such a thing that people and gods are angry about.

"How is that possible!" Jinghe didn't know the reason, so naturally his eyes widened in disbelief.

He Xiaoqiao added some tea to his cup and asked calmly, "Why is it impossible?" ”

"Of course not!" As the 'top ten' good niece of the year, Jinghe is naturally indignant and wants to justify his uncle's beauty, "Uncle Seventeen is recognized as the most beautiful man in the capital, and there are so many girls in the city who love him that there are almost too many to count, how can there be a situation like what you said!" ”

“……”

That's because you haven't seen him before.

Silently replied in his heart, He Xiaoqiao thought evilly, if Jiang Fenghao really appeared in front of Princess Jinghe with that big cake face that could scare people's hearts, I don't know what kind of reaction she would have?

Screaming and fainting? Or just smash a big potsticker over it?

It's really exciting!

"That's right," He Xiaoqiao took care of himself for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Anyway, I've known you for so long, I don't know what your name is!" ”

"My name?" Jinghe shook his head widely, then covered his mouth and laughed out loud, "Aunt Seventeen, should you be like them, and you also think that 'Jinghe' is the title of this palace, right?" ”

He Xiaoqiao glared, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not." It's rare to get back a city, Jinghe smiled very happily, "The name of the palace was originally Jinghe, and as for the title given to the palace by the father, it is a single word 'Jing' - meaning 'Kyushu is peaceful, the world is peaceful'." ”

In other words, she is actually 'Princess Jing' rather than 'Princess Jinghe'. It's just that because the pronunciation of the two is similar, many people mistakenly think that 'Jinghe' is her title.

I see.
