Zhao Xi didn't feel that he had discovered any hidden opportunity. This incident had a moderate impact, but there was no major fluctuation, so he didn't pay much attention to it for the time being.But this morning, following Zhao Xueyang out of the gate of Qiming Palace, he met the fifth princess who 'just happened' passing by, and when he saw something in the other party's hand, his heart suddenly 'thumped'.

"My son." The princess turned her back to them, and turned around with a smile when she heard the movement. "I reckoned that the prince must have been diligent and arrived early, thinking that I would not be left behind, so I left earlier today. Haha, I didn't expect to meet just by chance."

The corners of Zhao Xi's mouth twitched, thinking that the understatement of the ancient boys and girls in their love affairs was quite amusing.

Zhao Xueyang didn't react at all, and didn't expose the embarrassing lie, so he nodded with a smile: "What a coincidence, we might as well go the same way."

The fifth princess's smile became more real, and her eyes were full of joy to conceal her absence, and she walked side by side with him.Reaching out her hand from her side, the maid handed her an oiled paper bag.

"This is a dessert I practiced in the palace. I don't have much appetite in the morning. I brought some to prepare." She opened the oiled paper, and inside were several beautifully shaped, brightly colored lotus cakes. The petals were fried crispy and a little red. "Could the prince come for some?"

Zhao Xi remembered what happened to him as a 'vendor' yesterday, and secretly thought it was over!

Zhao Xueyang looked down at the dessert held in the girl's hands, and his footsteps slowed down unknowingly, and he didn't even notice her Qi Yi's gaze, the expression on his face didn't change much, he just looked at it for a while without saying a word.

Zhao Xi sneaked a look at him. Although he still had a gentle expression, he still guessed his mood at the moment from the slightly drooping corner of his mouth.

"You may not know," he said softly, "my favorite snack is lotus cake."

The word 'favorite' paused slightly.

"Really?" Fifth Princess said happily, "That's such a coincidence—won't you try one?"

Seeing that he hadn't reached out for a long time, she lifted her hand up to remind him to hurry up.

Zhao Xueyang hesitated for a while, and finally reached out slowly to pick up one, it was still warm after blowing in the cold wind for a while.The taste is crisp, sweet and not greasy.

Facing the girl's expectant expression, he nodded in admiration. "The princess is really ingenious, this lotus cake tastes very good."

"Really!" The fifth princess smiled, and her steps became brisk. "I'm clumsy, as long as you like it, there's more."

It didn't sound right, Zhao Xueyang didn't answer, just finished eating in two bites, and patted the puff pastry on his hand.Turning back to Zhao Xi, he said, "Bring your handkerchief."

Zhao Xi didn't dare to look at him, so he stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the oil stains on his fingers.The fifth princess on the side just took out her handkerchief to help, but she twisted her handkerchief in embarrassment at this scene.

Zhao Xi silently wiped his hands clean, during which time he moved his fingers and he thought he was going to jump up and hit him the next second.

Of course, Zhao Xueyang would not be violent and hurt others, and he never found fault with him.After entering the bookstore, the maids of the princesses will go in and wait on them.Zhao Xi couldn't get in, so he planned to stroll outside for a while before going to the place yesterday to write a novel.

Just as he was walking there for a while, he saw the side door of the bookstore where the princesses were reading opened slightly, and a thin figure came out sideways.I took a closer look and saw that it was the maid of the fifth princess.The eyes watched him coming this way. "My lord," the maid blessed her body in front of her, "This servant is thanking you on behalf of the master, thank you for telling me frankly yesterday. This is the princess who invited you to drink tea." As she spoke, she grabbed him with a few pieces of silver. Appeared in the palm.

Before Zhao Xi could react, he felt the fullness of the broken silver in his palm and the feeling of the moment when the woman's soft hand grabbed him... Was he being bribed?

"Girl, you—" He reacted and wanted to push back, but his hand was pushed back.

"This is a little thought from the master." She pursed her lips and smiled. "Besides, it will be a long time in the future. I hope you will ignore me when I need your help."

He didn't dare to do this anymore, so he quickly stuffed the money back. "Princess, if you are a slave, you should try your best. Why bother to say it. My sister is polite."

The maid didn't know how his attitude changed so quickly, and was momentarily at a loss. "My lord, this..."

Zhao Xi refuses to accept the money, he is not greedy for money now, after all, there is not much to use in the deep palace, and he is still by Zhao Xueyang's side, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

The maid was a little anxious, and said pitifully: "Your Excellency has a delicate heart, and he must know a thing or two about our princess's heart. The princess is thin-skinned, and this servant has a thick skin, so I beg you to give me some advice."

"Ah this?" Zhao Xi was taken aback.He didn't expect that the pair of supporting characters in the book would be involved in his feelings, but this is indeed in line with the personality of the fifth princess.Regardless of the purpose, she only treated Zhao Xueyang as her destined person from the beginning to the end, and tried her best to fight for her marriage in this feudal society.

But Zhao Xi can't help with this matter, the outcome of him and Zhao Xueyang is unknown, and the risk of being exterminated by the nine clans has not yet passed.It is also impossible for the emperor to marry his own daughter to Zhao Xueyang, no matter what he does now, it is doomed to be useless, so why should he use that effort—but not necessarily!

He suddenly remembered that the hostess and the third prince's sister, the sixth princess, are very good friends with the hostess. As far as he knows, the interests of the princesses in the palace don't have much to do with each other, and the relationship between each other is not bad.I don't know if we can use the fifth princess to catch the line between the sixth princess and the heroine?If you get on these two, you will get on the big boat of the hero and heroine in disguise.

"Um. I don't know much about other things," he hinted at her with ulterior motives, "Why doesn't the fifth princess go to riding and archery lessons in the afternoon? Our son seems to appreciate more sassy girls."

"Ah—" The maid was a little hesitant. "Wanding swords and swords, and they are all men. Our princess is not suitable for such an occasion."

"But the fourth princess was there yesterday."

"Can......"

"You can let the sixth princess or the fourth princess go with you." He followed the temptation well enough, "I've finished talking here, and the rest is up to you."

Zhao Xi left her alone, and still went alone to the corner with the small pavilion to write his story.There is a clump of Xiangfei bamboo outside the palace wall on the other side. He got the idea of ​​it yesterday, and he brought a knife when he came here today.Before leaving, I saw one with great effort and cut it into small pieces with the length of chopsticks. Considering the mistake, I brought three back.

Zhao Xueyang seemed to have forgotten about the lotus cake all morning, and when he went back, Zhao Xueyang shut himself in the room and didn't know what he was doing.Zhao Xile felt at ease, and went back to the room thinking about getting out a pen like a fountain pen, which saves effort when writing.

He drilled a small hole in the bamboo and stuffed the removed part of the brush into it to fix it.He studied the ink and tried it out. He couldn't master the strength at first, and the handwriting was a bit thick, but he wrote a few more words, and when he got used to it, he could write recognizable ugly characters.

He closed the door and wrote happily, writing engrossedly, and no one disturbed him.It wasn't until the time came that the copper coin came to knock on the door and said that the son was going to the school grounds soon, so he hurried to clean himself up.

He followed Zhao Xueyang enthusiastically, wondering if there would be any surprises in a while.
