Seeing Jia Hu and Tu Xi sitting there with cold faces, Jia Lian felt a little uncomfortable.You know, he usually loses his appetite just looking at his big brother's face, and today there is another one!

"Ahem, enough for the two of you!" Jia Lian cleared his throat, and unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a smile, "Xiao Qi only likes San... well, brother Cong, alas, second brother, I'm so sad ah!"

Because of Tuxi's presence, Jia Lian knew that Nianchun always called him "Third Brother", so he had to change the name of Jia Cong at this time.

Nianchun looked up at him, although he knew that Jia Lian was pretending to cry, but Nianchun hesitated for a while and ran to Jia Lian with the remaining half bag of fried chestnuts in sugar.

"Second brother also eats." The chubby little paw held up a golden chestnut kernel, and the little girl smiled happily in her beautiful eyes.

What a sweet torture!

Jia Lian chewed the chestnuts and felt the solid gaze on his side. He now understands what it means to have thorns on the back.

But Nianchun didn't think about it so much, he took a look at the bag, um, there are three chestnuts left.

Nianchun fed one to Jia Hu, in exchange for which Jia Hu gently rubbed her little head.Nianchun, who had been rubbed on the head, quickly stepped aside, nervously stroking his temples under Jia Hu's puzzled eyes.Fortunately, the hair did not spread out!Jia Lian and Jia Cong laughed when they saw it, "Does Xiaoqi know about Aimi?"

Blinking her eyes, Nianchun nodded seriously, "Well, Xiaoqi is beautiful!"

Finally, when he walked up to Tu Xi, Nian Chun asked him in a low voice, "Third brother, do you eat chestnuts?"

Tu Xi sneered: "Are you planning to eat it for me? Huh?"

The last sound rises slightly, and the danger is self-evident.

Nianchun wanted to nod and say "yes".But looking at Tu Xi's expression, Nian Chun thought for a while, if she really said that, the consequences might be very serious.Although she loves to eat, she is still very discerning at this time.The chubby hand quickly peeled off the two remaining chestnuts in the bag and handed them to Tu Xi's lips, with a flattering smile on his face. "Three brothers eat!"

Tu Xi viciously bit the chestnut into his mouth, and even nibbled on Nian Chun's fingers with his upper and lower teeth.

Nianchun blinked her big watery eyes, "Woo...Third Brother!"

Tu Xi snorted, and ate the other chestnut as well, seeing Nian Chun looking like he was about to cry, for some reason, his son's complacency just now was gone now.Stretching out his hand to hold the chubby paw that had half a ring of tooth marks bitten by him, Tu Xi gently blew on it, "Does it hurt?"

"pain!"

"Hurrah won't hurt anymore, Nian Nian won't cry."

"Ugh, it hurts!"

In fact, it didn't hurt much, it was just that the bite was so sudden that Nianchun reflexively wanted to cry.It was brewing in the eyes, but the pain in the fingers was gone.The little girl looked at Tu Xi pitifully with a few tears in her eyes, which frightened Tu Xi terribly.I thought I had put in so much effort just now!

The way His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun coaxed the little girl in person was really unbearable, Jia Hu and Jia Lian looked away together.

Nianchun is the kind of character who feels aggrieved when coaxed by others, but forgets the grievance after a while of coaxing.

After being coaxed softly by Tu Xi for a while, Nian Chun wiped away tears, "Then the third brother still bites me?"

Tu Xi didn't speak, but stretched out his hand to gently pinch Nian Chun's tender and barky face.

Nianchun smiled with her eyes bent. Although Tuxi didn't speak, the little girl felt that the third brother who pinched her face so gently should agree.

"It's getting late, if Your Highness doesn't mind, you can have dinner in Handi."

Jia Hu stood up and spoke politely.

Jia Lian and Jia Cong who were sitting on the side also stood up quickly.

Jia Lian, who was shaking his folding fan lightly, thought to himself: Brother, this order to chase away guests, tsk tsk, is really very good!Who doesn't know that the emperor's grandson's meals have always been specially in charge of by a special person, after all, he is the future prince of the future!Can I eat at home?The eldest brother is obviously looking forward to His Royal Highness leaving early. As expected of a person who has studied, his brain moves faster than others. It really is a brilliant move!

Unexpectedly, Tu Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly, "That's fine."

After uttering the two words lightly, Jia Hu and Jia Lian looked at each other, and both had the urge to ask again.

Your Royal Highness, are you sure you want to have dinner at our house?

Fortunately, the two of them were only slightly unnatural for a while, and then returned to their original state.Jia Lian closed the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll order the kitchen to add more dishes."

Tu Xi: "There's no need to be so troublesome."

Having said that, at dinner in the evening, because she heard that the emperor's grandson was in the mansion, Jia's mother asked the whole family to have dinner in the main hall of Rongxi hall, and invited Tuxi to sit down.Tu Xi pushed it twice, and when she was about to sit down, she saw Nian Chun following Zhang Shi, and sat down at the end.It just happened to be far away from the seat.Tu Xi visually measured the distance between the two, and frowned imperceptibly.

"Old Madam, please take your seat. You can cook at home. We only care about the size, not the status."

Jia Mu was delighted that Tu Xi was eating at her own home, and when she heard what he said, she was very happy, so she sat down with a smile.

Tu Xi lowered his eyes and sat down beside Nian Chun, and everyone looked at the two of them in unison.Nianchun didn't notice it, she just stared at the dishes in front of her, waiting for the chopsticks to be ready to serve.Tu Xi is used to being stared at by everyone, so it's no big deal if only a dozen people glance at him now.

The person concerned behaved too calmly, making the people watching them feel a little fussy.

Just as Jia Mu was about to order someone to prepare a meal, she glanced at the people present and found a seat vacant.Frowning slightly, he looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Where is Baoyu? Why can't you see Baoyu?"

A trace of discomfort flashed across Madam Wang's face, "Baoyu said she didn't feel well, so she won't come."

"I'm not feeling well? Where's the discomfort? Have you ever called a doctor?" Jia's mother asked repeatedly, but Mrs. Wang only forced a smile and said it's okay.

On the contrary, Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "Why is he so delicate, I'll go and call him in person!"

Mrs. Wang stood up quickly and said, "Don't dare to bother the master, I'll just send someone to call him." After that, she ordered Jin Chuan'er to call Baoyu herself.

Jia Mu asked again: "If you are really uncomfortable, let him go."

Mrs. Wang reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's because he was a child, and he was lazy because he didn't have much appetite. The old lady doesn't have to worry about him too much, she's getting used to him more and more."

Jia's mother said displeasedly: "He is a child, so he will be spoiled. I think he is very sensible. Don't scare him."

Mrs. Wang responded, pleaded guilty and sat down.

Sencha stood with several other maidservants, and when she heard the movement at the door, she slightly pursed the corners of her upturned mouth, lowered her head and smiled sullenly with her eyes down.

The two little girls standing beside her glanced at her trembling shoulders strangely, thinking that something was wrong with her, but when they were about to ask her, all the people in the room screamed.

It turned out that when Pearl, who served Jia's mother, went to the door and opened the curtain, Jia Baoyu's face, which looked like the flowers of spring dawn, had two slap marks shining brightly.Because of his fair skin, Lao Gao with swollen palm prints on the left and right looked funny and ridiculous.

But Jia's mother was so distressed, she quickly pulled Jia Baoyu to her, stretched out her hand to touch Jia Baoyu's face, and asked distressedly: "What did you say? Who beat you?!" got angry.

Mrs. Wang was holding her handkerchief and was about to speak, but Jia Baoyu spoke first.

"Don't ask, old lady. Brother Feng and I were accidentally injured by a gangster. It's okay. It just looks scary. Don't worry, old lady."

Jia's mother said angrily: "What a bastard, I found it and beat him to death!" When the good grandson was beaten like this, Jia's mother was heartbroken, and an evil fire rushed to her forehead.

Tu Xi played with the silver chopsticks in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Seeing this smile, Jia Amnesty trembled all over, and quickly said, "Mother, be careful!"

Seeing Jia Mu looking at him, her eyes glowing with fire, Jia Amnesty stood up and advised, "Mother, fortunately, Baoyu has never been injured, but there are some minor injuries on the face, and it will be fine after a few days of care. Mother, don't get angry."

Jia Amnesty's original intention was to say, look, Baoyu is a boy, but his face is stained, what's the big deal.You can control your mouth well, the future prince is still sitting, you always open your mouth and shut up like this, and you will kill people, is it really okay?

It's a pity that Jia's mother couldn't understand Jia She's meaning, but instead spat at him, "It's not that your son was beaten, you put it lightly. My Baoyu has never been wronged like this. Go and find someone. Go unblock, go find that bastard!"

Jia She sat back with a sullen face, and whispered to Mrs. Zhang secretly, "Don't say Brother Hu, Brother Lian, Brother Cong would not do such a thing of being slapped in the face, it's just unlucky. His face is scratched, does a big man rely on his face to make a living? It’s worth being so angry.”

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes lightly, and said softly: "Master, please don't talk too much. Now that the old lady is angry, why do you bother her. There is one sentence that is true, and it has nothing to do with us, Master said." What's the rush?" Saying that, she glanced sideways at Tu Xi who was sitting next to Nian Chun.

Jia Amnesty followed her gaze, saw that Tu Xi was only watching the farce in front of him, sighed inwardly, and secretly took Zhang's hand under the table. "Hey, don't earn it, don't earn it, I just don't have an idea, let me borrow some energy from you."

Mrs. Zhang bit her lips lightly, and said nothing with a cold face.She couldn't stand Jia She's playful temper, whoever said he had no idea, in terms of taking advantage, he was second in number and no one dared to be number one!

Jia Amnesty held his lovely wife's catkin with a contented expression on his face, he didn't want to care about Jia Baoyu's nonsense!

* 2 *

Nianchun wasn't too hungry, but seeing that everyone didn't seem to want to eat very much, she reluctantly looked away from the dishes in front of her.When I looked up, I saw Jia Baoyu standing beside Jia Mu with two palm prints on his face, and he was singing Chunle.

"Baoyu, what's wrong with your face!" As he said, he raised his chubby paws and gestured twice, "Slap prints! Two!"

Jia Baoyu: "..." Knowing that Seventh Sister is good at arithmetic, there is no need to show off at this time!

A look of embarrassment appeared on Jia Baoyu's face, Madam Wang quickly stood up and said: "Old lady, let's set the meal first, and Baoyu's matter will be investigated later." Today there are distinguished guests, so it shouldn't be putting the cart before the horse.Mrs. Wang still has this insight. In her heart, although Jia Baoyu is very good, he can't compare with the real son and grandson of the phoenix!Didn't you see that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun who was sitting next to Nianchun was getting a little impatient?

Mother Jia was startled, and followed Mrs. Wang's words, "That's right, Your Highness is going to see our family's jokes, and hurry up to prepare dinner." Then, she patted Jia Baoyu's shoulder again, softly Coax him, "Baoyu eat first, don't be hungry." The look of doting on his grandson is beyond words.

Everyone was surprised, Jia Baoyu responded and went back to his seat and sat down.

Normally, his position was always connected with Nian Chun, but today, coincidentally, his position was taken by Tu Xi, so he had to sit beside Tu Xi.

Jia Baoyu, who was still a little uncomfortable at first, was lowering his head to pick up vegetables, when he heard Tu Xi beside him speak, and the movements of his hands also stopped.

"Your favorite steamed sea bass." Tu Xi's voice was clear and cold, but there was a little gentle smile hidden in his tone. Jia Baoyu turned his head to look, and was surprised to see that Tu Xi actually helped Nian Chun pick out the fishbone It was only then that she caught it, and my heart was greatly shaken.

"This elder brother has a very kind face, as if he has seen him before."

He was full of idiots, and his eyes were only on Tu Xi, which shocked Mother Jia and the others.

"Quickly stop talking nonsense, this is His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, how have you ever seen it before!"

Baoyu ignored the sternness in Jia Mu's words, and just looked at Tu Xi Qingjun's side face, dazed and dazed. "Although I haven't seen it before, I feel that it is an old acquaintance in my heart. Maybe it is related to the past life, and I don't know."

Nianchun poked his head out from Tuxi's left hand in a strange way, swallowed the fish in his mouth before speaking. "Baoyu, have you read your script again recently?"

"Eat." Tu Xi nodded Nianchun's forehead, and when she raised her head to look at herself, she added another sentence, "You can't talk about food."

"Oh." Nianchun understood, sat down obediently, and looked eagerly at the steamed sea bass on the table.

Tu Xi picks thorns and picks vegetables for Nian Chun in a natural way, open and frank, not afraid of the eyes of others.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang looked away quickly. They also ate like this on weekdays, so there was nothing to pay attention to.

Jia Hu was steady and mature, and never bothered about these things. Seeing that Nianchun was eating at ease, she only glanced at it and then stopped.Jia Cong is still young, so he is quite happy to see Nianchun being taken care of by Tu Xi in every detail.Only Jia Lian, who glanced at each other for a while, almost made his strong teeth sour.

After dinner, the maids including Sencha brought mouthwash utensils to serve the masters with water. Tu Xi glanced at her, and asked in a neither high nor low voice: "Why are you here to serve?"

Sencha bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Because I didn't find the dipping wine, I serve the girl here."

Tu Xi frowned even tighter.

Nianchun took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, looked at Sencha and said, "Isn't the wine back yet?"

"I haven't seen her before, and I asked other people on duty in the yard, and they all said that they haven't seen her since they went out in the morning."

Nianchun let out a "huh", glanced at Tuxi, and asked Jiancha again, "When I went out in the morning, I was served by soaking wine. Then where did she go early in the morning, did you ask?"

Sencha faltered twice, bowed his head and remained silent.

Nianchun blinked her eyes, becoming more and more curious. "Where did you go?"

"Yesterday, a girl said that the person who sent Huayu ointment to Bao Erye went to soak in wine early in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet." Sencha's words are clear, her speech is smooth, and her voice is neither high nor low, just for everyone. hear.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Jia Baoyu, only to see that his face became even paler.

"Baoyu, have you seen the wine?"

"I……"

"But a maid with slender shoulders and a thin waist?" Mrs. Wang asked with a smile. Seeing Nianchun nodded, she smiled and said to everyone: "I still think of it as a maid serving in Baoyu's room, but it happens that there is a jade bracelet today. I'm not feeling well, I have a Buddhist scripture I have to copy, so I've bothered her to copy it. I'll tell her to go back when I go back, so don't worry."

Nianchun thought for a while and said, "Auntie, it's good to soak in wine, but the writing is not as good as fried tea. What kind of scriptures does my aunt want to copy? Can she copy it well?" The one-handed cursive calligraphy practiced by soaking in wine is fine for writing and drawing at ordinary times, but if copying the scriptures... Nianchun imagined the scene, and felt that the scriptures would not look very good if they were copied.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "So that's the case. Let me tell you why it took me a whole day to copy it and still haven't finished it. I think it's because she copied it carefully, and it took a lot of effort. I don't know." If the wine comes to serve.

Sencha is a little anxious, this is not quite the same as what they expected!Logically speaking, since my daughter mentioned this matter, Mrs. Wang should hurry up and call for the soaking wine?This evasion, could it be... A terrifying thought flashed in his mind, Sencha quickly lowered his head, and his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.

Tu Xi sneered and said: "Leaving the Prince's Mansion, I feel even more angry than before! Who gave her such face, told her to come to Bengong to answer in person!"

Jia Mu and the others thought, it must be because the maids who soaked in wine and fried tea were chosen by the concubine herself. Now that there is such a commotion, His Royal Highness only feels ashamed, and there is no need to express her annoyance in detail.Everyone quickly tried to persuade them, but Tu Xi just ignored them with a cold face.

Although he is young, his status is high.Jia's mother and the others did not dare to rely on their status to preach seriously. According to Jia She's thinking, if his son dared to show such a face that he deserved to be beaten, he would beat him until he didn't even know his mother.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Jia She's expression, and knew that he was whimsical again, and pinched him fiercely with the hand hidden under the table.

Jia She bared his teeth and gasped.

The husband and wife fought quietly under the table, Jia Hu sat beside them and turned a blind eye.Jia Lian silently put her hands on Jia Cong's head, trying to divert their attention.

In just one cup of tea, Jin Chuan'er brought the soaking wine.

Mother Jia didn't care about these maidservants, but Nianzai's wine and tea came from the Prince's Mansion, so taking advantage of Tuxi's presence, she just expressed some concern.Yin smiled and said to Jianjiu, who bowed his head and said nothing: "It's hard for you to concentrate on copying scriptures for the second wife, and now my son has accepted your master's favor, and he has been reading for a long time. Don't be bored in front of me. Just go and serve your master and wash your hands."

Dip wine and hang his head, he stretched out his hand and twisted the handkerchief from the water basin to wipe Nianchun's hands.The cuffs were lifted slightly, revealing half of the wrist, covered with bruises and bruises.Nianchun frowned tightly, and held the wine-soaked hand behind her back.

"what happened to your hand?"

Zhuojiu quickly covered his cuffs and said in a low voice, "Girl, don't ask."

But it was too late, everyone in the audience could see with their eyes, and the bruises on the wrists soaked in wine were all pinched out.

Nianchun is young and well-behaved, she doesn't get angry easily, how could she beat and scold the maid around her.Furthermore, the soaked wine and fried tea were all sent by the maids from the Prince's Mansion, how respectable this is, although not as good as the masters, but no one in the mansion dares to speak harshly.This time she touched the scales, and Jia's mother was terrified. Suddenly, she saw that the blood on Baoyu's face had faded, and Mrs. Wang was also pale.At that moment, my heart skipped a beat, and when I looked closely at the palm print on Baoyu's face, an uneasy guess emerged in my heart.

"Maybe it was a bruise during a fight, and it is a common thing, so you don't have to take it too seriously, girl."

Nianchun didn't believe it, shook his head and said: "Jiangjiu has always done things prudently and properly, and rarely messes with girls. Baoyu, when you saw Zhuanjiu this morning, was she injured?"

Jia Baoyu's face turned completely white in an instant.

"Seventh sister, I, I..."

Jia Baoyu's eyes were flickering, and Jia Lian asked with a half-smile, "What? Baoyu, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why is your head covered in cold sweat and your face is turning pale, sorry to see you."

Jia Lian was born with a beautiful face. At this time, her long eyebrows are slanted, her phoenix eyes are slightly hooked, and her red lips are stained with wine, which seems to be a smile but not a smile. Looking at her appearance, she is quite a romantic person.However, the tone of his speech made people feel that there was a lot of meaning in it, and they couldn't help but follow his gaze to look at Jia Baoyu. Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's face was pale with fright, and cold sweat dripped down his temples.

"I, I... Seventh sister, I'm sorry! I don't know!"

Baoyu's gaze passed Jia Zheng's body inadvertently, and seeing Jia Zheng's sullen face, his expression was extremely terrifying, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his whole body trembled.The courage that had been summoned up just now died down immediately, and I could only say sorry to Jianjiu and Nianchun in my heart, and let myself go first.

Mrs. Wang loosened her hand holding the handkerchief a little, and slowly put on a smile.

"Perhaps it's because of the collision a few days ago. I don't know. After all, men and women are different. How could Baoyu lift up her cuffs to take a closer look?"

Nianchun was still frowning, although she felt that Mrs. Wang's words were somewhat reasonable, but she always felt that something was wrong.It's just... Looking at the dipping wine with his head bowed and silent in front of him, Nianchun felt distressed and helpless.He had no choice but to turn his eyes to Tu Xi who was sitting beside him for help.

The little girl's clear eyes were full of trust in herself, and the words "Third Brother is the smartest, Third Brother, please help me" were almost written on her face.Somewhere in Tu Xi's heart was touched, he pondered for a moment and said, "Then according to Mrs. Jia's intention, where did the wine hurt you?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, with an embarrassing smile on her face.She never expected that Tu Xi would come out to speak at this time.After all, it was His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, Madam Wang didn't dare to trust her, she just replied softly: "This, my wife, don't you know what day she bumped into?"

Tu Xi sneered and said, "I really don't know."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the silent soaked wine, and said coldly: "What is the reason, let me tell you everything. If you let me know after the fact, I will send you all because of grievances." The Department of Punishment is serving hard labor, from now on you don't have to beg to be in front of me!" He was so angry that everyone stood up and didn't know what to do.

Sencha hastily grabbed the dipping wine and knelt down, crying: "Your Highness, forgive me!" Pulling a couple of handfuls of dipping wine again, she raised her voice and scolded her, "Just tell Your Highness what grievances you have! Tell your highness quickly! ! If you don’t say it, even though you have earned your reputation, how will the girl deal with herself in the future!”

After soaking in wine and hearing the words, he trembled all over.Then slowly raised his head and glanced at Nianchun, looking at the little girl in front of him with concern on his face.Tears rolled down from the wine, and he choked up and said, "I'm sorry, girl! I'm going to deliver medicine to Second Master Bao this morning, who would have thought that Second Master Bao..."

It turned out that this morning, when I was soaking in wine to deliver medicine to Baoyu, whoever wanted to enter the house was taken into the inner room.Zhuojiu hurriedly said "it's not right" and was about to withdraw, but Baoyu didn't know where it came from, and kept pestering Zhuojiu to eat the rouge on her mouth.While the two were struggling and entangled, Baoyu accidentally slapped Baoyu's ears after being soaked in wine, and only then did he barely stop Baoyu's nonsense.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mrs. Wang came.

Seeing the situation in the house, he was out of breath.Where is he willing to care about the fault of his darling Liao, he only thinks that Zhuangjiu is a coquettish child, pestering Baoyu who is not very young.The good brother is also broken!She has always been impulsive, and at that time she was burning with anger, so there was no reason or calm to speak of.No matter what, he beat and choked the wine first, and finally locked her in the messy firewood room by herself.

If Nian Chun hadn't mentioned soaking in wine during dinner at night, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take.

After Tu Xi heard this, he sneered and said, "You are such an imposing Mrs. Jia, she will beat and kill you every time you open your mouth. Even if you think about the majesty of the Tian family, it will be difficult for Mrs. Jia to kill and make a decisive decision!"

Mrs. Wang was so scared that her face turned pale, and she quickly retorted: "Your Highness, don't believe her words, but this woman is just talking nonsense and deliberately slandering!"

Tu Xi's face was frosty, and he said coldly: "Mrs. Jia is really quick to argue. I just don't know, a little maid, what is she trying to slander you!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but panic when she heard his indifferent words.Stretching out his hand to grab Jia Zheng's sleeve, "Plop—" he knelt down and cried, "I've been husband and wife with Master for decades, doesn't Master still know who I am?"

Jia Zheng had already seen the expressions of Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu clearly, how could he believe her at this moment, and seeing Tu Xi looking at him coldly, he could only bite the bullet and bowed his hands to Tu Xi: "Your Highness, please look at..." Look For whose sake?The first room and the second room didn't have any human relations at all, so Jia Amnesty's face is not too big.But if he mentioned Nianchun, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu did such scandalous things, he would wish to kill these two spoilers!

"You don't need to say too much, Mr. Jia Er. I will report the truth to the emperor's grandfather about today's matter, and ask him to be the sage."

After finishing speaking, Tu Xi turned around and wrung the clean handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth and hands for Nian Chun.In the end, he slightly bowed his hands to Jia She, "I've been bothering you a lot today, so I'm leaving first. I'll take the wine and sencha back home first, Niannian..."

Jia She quickly waved his hand, "Your Highness, walk slowly, Niannian, we will take her back to the room later."

"... Nian Nian will go back with me, lest she be frightened tonight, there is an imperial physician who lives in the Prince's residence, so it is convenient to take care of anything uncomfortable."

Jia Amnesty snorted twice angrily, "Whatever you want, whatever you want."

Jia Lian blinked at Nianchun, and asked her with a smile: "If Xiaoqi is afraid, why don't you sleep with the second brother at night?"

Nianchun's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree.But with a tight little hand, Tu Xi had already led her outside.

"Second brother, you really dare to say it!"

The young Jia Cong expressed admiration, and gave Jia Lian a thumbs up, "After you said this just now, I saw His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson looking as if he wanted to eat people. Hey, what happened just now I'm not afraid of being angry, just saying this to you, the look on my face is so frightened that my hairs stand on end!"

Jia Lian smiled "hehe", opened the folding fan and shook it lightly, "Your second brother is very talented, so I'm not afraid." After speaking, he walked away in a natural and unrestrained manner.Just out of everyone's sight, Jia Lian secretly touched the back of her neck, hissing—a little cold.

* 3 *

The number of times Nianchun went to the Prince's Mansion was countless, which probably matched the number of times he went to the palace to pay his respects.Although there were times when I was tired from playing and rested in the Prince's Mansion, but that was when I was very young.

The six-year-old Nianchun pulled the chubby paw and talked to Tu Xi about the "very small" days, which made Tu Xi's cold face melt into ice.

"Does Nian Nian like the Prince's Mansion?"

"like."

"What do you like most about the Prince's Mansion?"

"...Well, Taishi Cake!"

"..."

"Third Brother, it hurts, hurts, hurts!"

Nian Chun, whose cheek was pinched by Tu Xi, repeatedly begged for mercy, and then was hugged and sat beside him by Tu Xi, continuing to gnaw on the cake in his hand with his head down.She is telling the truth, Taishi Cake from the Prince's Mansion, Sugar Steamed Crispy Cheese from the Suwang Mansion, Vegetarian Steamed Buns from the Jingwang Mansion, Gold Silk Red Date Cake from the Yiwang Mansion, Bean Paste Rolls from the Xinwang Mansion, and Peach Blossom Crisp from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion They are all unique in Beijing!Especially the hazelnut cake of Duanwangfu, thick and long, delicious!

"What is the most beautiful thing in the Prince's Mansion?"

"...that thousand-year-old tortoise in the lotus pond in the backyard!"

"..."

"Third brother, pain, pain, pain!"

Nian Chun, who had her face pinched again, wanted to cry but was stared at several times by Tu Xi, who punished her to reflect on herself.Nianchun looked down at her little paw, wondering why she said something wrong again!Obviously, everyone in the capital knows that there is a lotus pond in the prince's mansion, and there is an old tortoise in it. It is said that it has lived for an unknown number of years. After checking the documents of several dynasties, it is deduced that the old tortoise is likely to be old. Already a thousand years old.

This tortoise Chitose is what everyone wants to see, isn't it pretty? !

"What is the most precious thing in the Prince's Mansion?"

"..."

"..."

Nianchun, who was so frightened that he hugged Tuxi's hands, stared at him tearfully, and said pitifully, "Third brother, don't pinch my face, it hurts so much."

Tu Xi took a look, and she was indeed blushing, and leaned over to kiss her with some heartache.

"I won't pinch you anymore."

"En!" Nianchun hugged Tu Xi's neck with a smile, tilted his head and asked him, "What is the most precious thing in the Prince's Mansion?"

"Near."

"Ok?"

"Near."

"Ok?"

"Near."

……

Seeing that Tu Xi was about to continue screaming, Nian Chunle laughed uncontrollably. "Third brother, third brother!"

"The most precious thing in the Prince's Mansion is Nian Nian?"

"what?"

Nianchun pointed to the tip of her nose, "Me?"

Holding the little girl's chubby paws with a smile, Tu Xi leaned over and kissed the little girl's cheek again, "What else?"

The young Qingjun's face was full of doting smiles, which seemed to be somewhat different from the tolerance of his brothers.Nian Chun was held in Tu Xi's arms, and with a smile, she also leaned over and kissed his relative Tu Xi's side face. "Third brother is also a baby."

"Then... what does the third brother like most in the Prince's Mansion?"

"Near."

"what?"

Nianchun blinked, "Is it me again?"

"Yeah." Tu Xi, who was holding the little girl, smiled, and all he could smell at the tip of his nose was the sweet and fragrant smell from the little girl, which was very similar to the taste of her favorite Taishi cake.Tu Xi got a little greedy, moved closer, looked at Nian Chunhong's fluttering little face and said, "Feed me a piece of Taishi cake."

Nianchun raised her hand generously, and turned the half-eaten Taishi cake in the other direction for Tu Xi to eat. "It's not my petty weapon, um, it's only half of it." The voice was small, with a bit of reluctance.

Tu Xi wanted to laugh, but his heart was warm.After taking a bite, the fragrance remains on the teeth and cheeks.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Putting the remaining Taishi cake in his mouth and ate a few mouthfuls, Nianchun thought about it, "Then... what is the most beautiful thing in the Prince's Mansion?"

Before Tu Xi could speak, Nian Chun spoke first, "Oh, I see, it's Nian Nian!"

"Yeah." Tu Xi pressed his forehead against hers, and smiled until his eyes lit up, "Nian Nian is so smart, give Third Brother a bite of Taishi Cake."

The little girl looked at the bite-size Taishi Cake left in her hand, hesitated for a moment before handing it to Tu Xi's lips. "Third brother, eat slowly."

Seeing Tu Xi finish eating in one gulp, Nian Chun leaned over to smell Tu Xi's lips, and the peony fragrance of Taishi Cake.

"Third brother, don't you dislike eating these sweets?"

"Ah."

"Then you..." Still eating!

Nian Chun widened her clear eyes, and looked at him accusingly!If you don't like it, you still eat it, it's too...too much!

Tu Xi laughed so much that his shoulders shook twice, "So there is no sugar in the Taishi cakes I brought this time."

"Huh?" Nianchun didn't believe it, it was obviously sweet.

Leaning over and smelling it carefully, Nianchun shook her head, "Sweet!" She swore, it must be sweet!

Tu Xi nodded, "Yes, it's sweet, but there's no sugar."

Nianchun, who was not as smart as Tuxi, looked at him stupidly, unable to turn around.

"It's not good to eat too much candy, your teeth will be bad." Stretching out his hand to poke the pear dimple on the little girl's cheek, Tu Xi smiled again when she saw the little girl pursing her mouth and acting coquettishly, "So let them put it down." Honey."

"That's right!"

Nianchun said happily, "Then can I still eat tomorrow?"

Tu Xi nodded.

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

Tu Xi's eyes flickered slightly, "The day after tomorrow is also fine."

"The day after tomorrow!"

Feeling that the carriage stopped slowly, Tu Xi hugged the little girl who was still waiting for his answer. "Every day."

Nianchun was content to get the answer she wanted, but she didn't know that she had fallen into the trap that Tu Xi had woven for her.I happily went to bed with sencha and sake.

Tu Xi watched her leave, stood at the door and waited for a while, then heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the end of the street.

"His Royal Highness."

"General Jia."

Jia She stopped his horse and stood up handsomely. "Please, Your Highness!"

Tu Xi glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"Enhou?"

The prince, who hadn't rested yet, was a little surprised when he saw the two of them going into the study together.He couldn't think of anything worthwhile for Jia Amnesty to come to him in the dark, and he thought it was something urgent.After Jia She explained the purpose of his visit, the prince smiled slightly and said, "I thought it was something, but it's just a trivial matter."

"Brother Xi, since you started it, is there any rules?"

The son is not an aimless person, he believes that the son must have a plan.

Tu Xi didn't take Qiao, and glanced at Jia She, "The Wang family is unbearable to be a clan wife, and the Jia mansion will collapse. If General Jia insists on protecting the Jia family, I'm afraid things will backfire, and the gain will outweigh the loss!"

Jia She stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Oh, I don't want to end up with the Jia family either. But what can I do? The elder is here, so we don't need to separate the family! Hey, what can your Highness do?"

With an unserious expression on his face, Tu Xi didn't bother to look at him.

"The emperor's grandfather intended to bestow the General's Mansion."

"Oh! This is a great thing!" Jia She clapped his hands and smiled, "Although my mother is old, after all, the emperor's order is hard to disobey!"

Tu Xi said lightly: "It's a pity that the emperor's grandfather is busy with his affairs, but no one mentioned this matter at this time."

"Huh? How could there be no one!" Jia Amnesty smiled awkwardly, and swept his eyes up and down on Tu Xi who was sitting opposite him, "Your Highness is the best candidate!"

"Oh? General Jia's words are wrong. I don't know why I should
