After Tao Anran was helped off the horse, he was hugged around the waist all the time.He didn't pay attention to it at first, but the feeling of walking around was obvious.Especially he felt that Xiao Jingyu seemed to be touching his waist.It's just that there are people around, so it's hard for him to say anything.

When the two entered the room, Tao Anran couldn't hold back anymore.He pretended to twist slightly inadvertently, breaking free from Xiao Jingyu's restraint, and freed his waist.

When Xiao Jingyu didn't pay attention, his hands were empty.He looked at the princess who was an arm's length away from him, pondered for a while and said, "Of course, you seem to have lost weight?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Anran quickly turned to look at him, and asked, "Is there any? I don't feel like I've lost weight?"

Xiao Jingyu twirled his fingers and said, "The waist is thinner."

Tao Anran thought of him touching her waist before, did she notice that her waist was thin at that moment?Tao Anran measured her circumference by herself, but she didn't feel that she was thinner.Instead, he felt that he should have gained weight if he hadn't moved all winter.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu raised the corners of his lips, and then asked, "Of course, why didn't you wear the jade pendant I gave you?"

Tao Anran stopped, and seriously replied: "My lord, I put the jade pendant in the room. I am going out to look at the fields, and the road is a little far away. I put the jade pendant on my body, and it will be troublesome if I accidentally lose it. So I usually Wear the jade pendant in the mansion, and take it off when you go out."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyu said with a sigh: "Of course, jade pendants are not so easy to lose. Wear it next time you go out. Jade can support people, and it also complements you."

Tao Anran nodded shyly when she heard this, "Then I'll put it on when I go back. Tie it tight, it shouldn't get lost."

The two sat down at the table, Tao Anran asked: "My lord, don't you need to fight? Then how long will you stay in the mansion this time?"

Xiao Jingyu replied: "Recently there is no need to fight. Our enemy Turks mainly raise war horses, cattle and sheep. They also use dairy products and beef and mutton as their main food. But when there is no pasture and food in winter, they will think about going south to invade. We, seize food and other supplies."

"Now that the grass begins to flourish in spring, they will return to the grazing area to raise cattle and sheep. According to the past rules, they will not invade the frontier fortress in a short time. However, in addition to the soldiers who guard the border, there are still some soldiers in the barracks. Be vigilant and ready. Once a war breaks out, you can respond quickly."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the princess and said a lot without realizing it.I thought he would not be interested, but I didn't expect that the princess had been listening to him intently, it seemed that she understood and cared.

Xiao Jingyu continued: "As for how long I will stay at home this time? Of course, how long do you want me to stay?"

Tao Anran was taken aback for a moment, he was still listening to Xiao Jingyu talking about the enemy.It feels like a war between nomads and farmers.Throughout history, all dynasties have been troubled by this.Unless there are excellent generals who can defeat the enemy and incorporate the territory, it will be a long-term tug-of-war.

He was stunned to hear Xiao Jingyu's question, and replied: "The palace is the home of the prince. As long as the prince is not busy, naturally he can stay as long as he wants."

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said: "Home? With Ranran here, it is indeed my home. Ranran is right, as long as there is no war this time, I should be able to stay in the mansion forever and spend more time with you."

Tao Anran was stunned for a moment when she heard such almost confessional words.

For Xiao Jingyu to think so, he must be confessing!Does he like himself?I am not ready yet!

The important thing is, I seem to be a little happy too!Have you fallen in love with him too?Although he is indeed very good to himself, and he is also in good shape!

Tao Anran's heart was like a galloping horse, her eyes dared not look at people, and her thoughts ran wild uncontrollably.A patch of red began to spread down from the face, from the tips of the ears to the neck.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu hurriedly asked with concern: "Of course, what's wrong with you, your face is so red?"

Tao Anran hurriedly replied: "No, no...what. I'm just... just a little hot. I must have walked too much before, and now I'm a little hot. I'll be fine later."

While talking, Tao Anran made a fan shape with his hands to fan himself, trying to prove that he was just a little hot.It's just that the eyes always dodge and dare not look at people.

Xiao Jingyu didn't expect to see such a shy side of the princess.He didn't seem to say anything?The princess was already blushing up to her neck.Then if he did something else, wouldn't the concubine faint with shame.

As long as that picture came to his mind, Xiao Jingyu would almost laugh out loud.But he didn't hide it, and laughed out loud with joy.

Tao Anran's body froze, he looked up in disbelief.Xiao Jingyu couldn't help laughing, but in Tao Anran's eyes, this was clearly a mockery!

Tao Anran decided to take back the feeling of being excited just now, his heart was filled with indifference, and the temperature on his face naturally dropped.Soon his complexion returned to normal, only a little red remained at the tips of his ears, showing the shyness of the master.

Hearing the sound, Bai Lu and Han Lu outside the door poked their heads to look, and they were all surprised to see Wang Ye smiling broadly.Before they could react, the prince restrained his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

The two hurriedly lowered their heads and replied: "My lord and concubine, the kitchen has already prepared meals. Do you want to eat now?"

Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Since the food is ready, let's serve it."

Tao Anran also nodded at the side, he was already hungry.

Soon the food was served and placed on the table.In addition to the staple food, there is a large bowl of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a plate of fried dried fish, a plate of burritos, a plate of fried bean sprouts and a dish of fried basil.

Looking at these few dishes, you can tell that the people in the kitchen have put their heart into it.The dishes are beautiful and the aroma is tangy, which makes people's index fingers move.Especially after Tao Anran had exercised for a period of time in the morning, now he was hungry and needed to eat urgently.

Tao Anran looked at Xiao Jingyu and said, "My lord, it's time to eat!"

Xiao Jingyu picked up the chopsticks, looked at the wistful eyes of the princess, and said with a smile, "Let's eat." After finishing speaking, he picked up a chopstick and dried the small fish into his bowl, and said by the way: "This is the fish in the flowing water of the stream here. You I should have never seen it before, and it has a special flavor when fried in oil."

Tao Anran paused when he was about to pick up the vegetables himself. He looked at the dried fish in the bowl, silently turned the chopsticks with the basil in it, and put the vegetables in Xiao Jingyu's bowl.

Then Tao Anran said sincerely: "My lord, eat more green vegetables, it's good for your health."

Xiao Jingyu's expression was a little subtle, but he still finished the food slowly.After he ate a few mouthfuls of rice to suppress the weird taste, he drank a few more mouthfuls of tea before he finally lost the taste in his mouth.

Tao Anran noticed this out of the corner of her eyes, and asked cautiously: "My lord, don't you like to eat basil? If you don't like it, you can just stop eating it. Why are you still eating it?"

Xiao Jingyu glanced at him and said: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I can't bear the smell. If you really want to eat it, you can still eat it. After all, this is a delicacy in spring. Besides, this is a dish specially prepared by the princess. Everything will be eaten."

Tao Anran was a little ashamed, she just returned food to him in a courteous manner.And the dishes I pick up are only what I like to eat, I didn't expect him to like it or not.On the contrary, he likes to eat the food he gave him.

Tao Anran was a little ashamed. He inspected the table and asked softly, "My lord, I think this burrito is pretty good. Do you want to eat it? I'll grab one for you."

Xiao Jingyu seemed to see that the princess wanted to make amends, nodded and said: "This spring pancake looks really good, and it is the best time to eat it at this time. If it is paired with radish and celery, eating spring pancakes is truly spring."

Tao Anran was also interested by what he said, and after picking a burrito for him, she also picked one for herself.The burritos were thinly made and filled with shredded radishes and celery.When he took a bite, it was light, crisp and refreshing, with the crispy fragrance of the dough wrapped around it, and the taste was moderately soft and hard, which made people's eyes shine.

The burritos are delicious, but they are a bit big.After Tao Anran ate one, she felt that her stomach was a bit full.He couldn't eat the second burrito, so he tried chicken and mushroom stew next.The chicks should be freshly killed authentic free-range chickens, and the mushrooms should also be wild mushrooms from the mountains.The combination of the two is delicious.

All in all, Tao Anran was a little overwhelmed with the combination of meat and vegetables for this meal.I thought that the two of them had five dishes, so there should be leftovers.Unexpectedly, after Xiao Jingyu saw that he seemed to be full, he cleaned up all the leftovers.

Tao Anran looked at the empty plate on the table, dumbfounded.He looked at Xiao Jingyu who was still drinking tea after eating, and asked uncertainly, "My lord, are you full?"

Xiao Jingyu stared coldly at the leftovers, and replied, "Of course I'm full. But do you think I ate too much?"

Tao Anran quickly shook her head and replied: "No, no. It's just that the prince didn't eat so much when he was in the mansion. This time, he ate so much, be careful of food accumulation."

Xiao Jingyu explained: "The last time I ate at the same table with you, it was when I was injured. At that time, I had no appetite after drinking soup. This time, I came back from the army, so naturally my appetite increased. The food in the army is not good. There will be a shortage, but the taste is mediocre, and usually only satisfies the stomach. This time, the food in the Zhuangzi happens to be fresh and delicious, and you eat with me, so naturally I eat more."

Tao Anran was a little embarrassed by the words, but he admitted that the meal this time was really good.On weekdays, he also eats delicately at the mansion, but it is not as fresh as this time.Possibly because the dishes are freshly picked and immediately headed into the kitchen to be cooked.And the dishes in the mansion have to go out to buy, and they are always not so fresh.

Xiao Jingyu continued: "Of course, your appetite is too small and you eat too little. No wonder you lost weight."

Tao Anran immediately retorted: "My lord, I have eaten a lot. I have already eaten a bowl of rice, a burrito and many other dishes. I have eaten more than usual."

Xiao Jingyu looked at him without saying a word, apparently he didn't think he ate too much.

Tao Anran thought, he usually doesn't have a big appetite.When it was cold before, I didn't exercise and my appetite was smaller.It's rare to go out today, and I also take a walk to enjoy the scenery. With the amount of exercise, I have already whetted my appetite.
