The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 57 An Apology to Your Highness
Han Yi led Du Anchen to take a step ahead, Lan Yi hid in the dark, and Tsing Yi followed Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't go back home immediately, after leaving the inn, she moved the tip of her nose and smelled a sweet scent of tea.

She followed the smell and saw a simple stall on the side of the road. An old woman with mottled hair stood in front of the oil pan, holding a colander in her hand, and took out one by one from the hot oil. Fried golden and crisp... meatballs?
Xiao Yu walked over curiously and stood in front of the stall.

Seeing this, the old woman smiled kindly and looked at her: "Young master, do you want a pack of tea heart rice cake balls? They are still hot just out of the pan, and this is the best time to eat!"

Xiao Yu became interested, and looked at the big round balls on the plate next to him, "Grandma, why do I smell a tea fragrance? Is there stuffing in it?"

The old lady took a bamboo stick and handed it to Xiao Yu, and said with a smile, "Young master, try it, be careful not to burn it."

Xiao Yu didn't refuse. He took it and blew it. He felt that it was almost ready. He took a bite carefully. The outside of the meatball was fried crispy, but the rice cake inside was soft and sweet. The middle was filled with red bean paste, with a long aftertaste of tea fragrance.

The meatballs are sweet but not greasy, rich in taste, really delicious!

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he gave the old lady a thumbs up: "Did this grandmother research it herself? It's delicious!"

The old lady was very happy when she got the approval, "It's good that the son likes it. I made it myself. It tastes good, so I sold it. It's selling well these days."

Xiao Yu swallowed the ball, thought for a moment and said to the old woman: "Give me three packs, I will give it away."

"Okay, young master, wait a moment!"

The old lady quickly took out the meatballs from the pot, twenty of them a pack, she was afraid it would be too hot, so she wrapped a few more layers, and then handed it to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu reached out to take it, and gave the old woman an ingot of broken silver ,"Keep the change, please."

The old lady was very grateful and kept saying thanks, Xiao Yu smiled and shook her head.

Tsing Yi followed behind Xiao Yu, looked at the three paper bags of meatballs she was carrying, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if you eat so much glutinous rice, it's still deep-fried, so it's easy to accumulate food."

Xiao Yu lowered her eyes to look at the oil paper bag in her hand, and could still smell the fragrance faintly. Thinking of the one in the palace, she bent her lips: "I didn't eat it myself, one bag is for the four of Hongxiu, One bag will be brought into the palace for His Royal Highness in a while, and the remaining bag will be eaten by myself."

Tsing Yi heard her arrangement clearly, and couldn't help but get closer, "Then... don't you have any subordinates?"

Xiao Yu was startled, stopped and turned to look at Tsing Yi, surprised: "You guys also like to eat this kind of sweet and greasy food?"

Tsing Yi: "..."

"I thought the food you dark guards ate was relatively light, so tell me earlier, if you want to eat, I'll give you this bag."

As she spoke, she handed Tsing Yi a bag, "I don't really want to eat that much myself."

Tsing Yi looked at the snacks handed in front of him, and couldn't help rubbing his hands: "This subordinate likes to eat sweets, thank you, master! Then you are welcome!"

Xiao Yu looked at him like this, didn't say anything, turned his head and was about to continue walking, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Tsing Yi, "Can you Xuanyi Wei change your name?"

Tsing Yi was startled: "Master, why do you ask such a question?"

Xiao Yu: "One of my personal maids is called Tsing Yi. I've gotten used to her, and every time I call you by your name, I always feel a bit awkward."

Tsing Yi nodded: "This subordinate knows that the girl is quite beautiful. The subordinate's name can be changed, but we, red orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, can't be messed up."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment: "Well, then I'd better go back and have Tsing Yi girl change it, and change her name to Lian Yi."

"Lianyi is good, it sounds good!"

Tsing Yi carried snacks happily and followed behind Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu turned his head to look at him with a smile, and silently evaluated him in his heart: he is young, but his mind is delicate, his mind is flexible, and his personality is cheerful, so he is more suitable for taking with him. around.

"Let's go back home, when the time comes we—"

"His Royal Highness?"

Hearing this claim, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and turned around, and saw a carriage parked in front of him, the driver got off the carriage, cupped his hands at Xiao Yu and said: "I have seen the prince, my master invited the prince to come to the house A story."

"Your master?"

The coachman smiled and said, "My master is Ding Guogong, the grandfather of the son."

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Duke Ding, that is not easy to get along with.

In the crowd, many people watched, the coachman called out Xiao Yu's identity, and there are still many people in Beijing who know Xiao Yu's face, so it is not easy for Xiao Yu to refuse directly.

She said to the coachman: "Grandfather has an invitation, just send someone to the door and say it. Why did you go to the street to look for someone? What if you don't find him? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The coachman didn't change his face: "This... the servant went to the Prince Regent's Mansion. The doorman said that the prince was not in the mansion, so the servant came out to take a stroll. Isn't it good luck to bump into the prince?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, with a decent smile on his lips, he slandered: I'm afraid you haven't been supervising the Prince Regent's Palace all the time, right?
She looked at the coachman: "You and I are going to visit my grandfather, but I still have something to do, please take me back to the palace first."

"Yes."

Xiao Yu gave Tsing Yi a look, and the two got into the carriage. Tsing Yi sat outside beside the coachman. The coachman glanced at him quietly, and when Tsing Yi turned his head, he quickly looked away, pretending nothing happened.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the coachman said to Xiao Yu, "Your Excellency, we're here."

Xiao Yu got out of the car, "Wait a moment."

She entered the mansion with Tsing Yi, and walked quickly towards her yard. On the way, she met Red Sleeve and Green Zhao who were chatting outside, and her face softened a little: "Isn't it cool for you to chat here? Come, I bought it for you, you guys Keep one bag, and send the remaining bag of Hongxiu to the palace with Hanyi."

"Hey--"

Hongxiu and Lvzhao stepped forward to take a bag each, the oil paper bag was still warm, Hongxiu asked curiously, "What did the prince buy?"

"After a while, you'll know after eating. Lu invites you to invite Miss Biao to come over."

"Yes."

Lu Zhao turned around and hurried away, Xiao Yu went directly into the room, after the cold clothes were settled, Du Anchen rushed over, "Master, are you going out?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Mr. Dingguo invited me to talk, I'll go and have a look, you take the red sleeves and send the things to His Highness the Eighth Prince, and send him a message, I may not be able to go back until later, let him pay attention to work and rest combine."

"Ah."

Han Yi looked at Xiao Yu standing at the table thinking, his gaze fell on Tsing Yi who came in one step later, seeing the oil paper bag in Tsing Yi's hand, he raised his eyebrows.

Tsing Yi met his gaze and raised the things in his hands: "Master gave it to me, boss, do you want it?"

Han Yi: "...No need."

Big men still eat sweets, sorry.

Seemingly reading this contempt from his eyes, Tsing Yi pouted unconvinced.
