gold princess

Cheng Mubai replied solemnly, "I marry a wife, and I don't need others to help me welcome her. If I even bother others to marry my own woman, what use is my husband?"

"But your body..."

"No problem!" Cheng Mubai said firmly.

The concubine had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "March [-] is already warm, and it's another good day for you. If you insist, I won't stop you."

"Thank you, mother." Cheng Mubai said.

The concubine was in a very bad mood, her complexion was bad, she was silent for a long while, she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and blurted out, "Mubai, who is not good for you, why do you have a crush on that person's daughter, how do you let your mother face her?"

Cheng Mubai was silent, lowered his head apologetically, and did not refute, the princess sighed, told him to take good care of himself, got up and left Haoyue Residence, Jing Nan asked Lingxin to make a cup of hot ginseng tea, and Cheng Mubai took a sip.

Lingxin retreated outside the door, Jing Nan said, "Miss Lou San's maid, Qiushuang, asked today if the son had read Miss San's letter, and if he had replied to her."

Cheng Mubai smiled, and casually put down the teacup, "How do you answer her?"

"The subordinate said that the son is not feeling well recently, he is sick, and he has no energy to reply." Jing Nan said, paused, "The subordinate sees what Qiushuang means, and guesses that Miss Lou San is quite anxious."

Cheng Mubai smiled indifferently, and changed the subject, "Then Zhuhua, does she like it?"

"Each time the prince sends something, the concubine the concubine likes it very much." Jing Nan considered his tone and tried to show joy, "This bead flower, the concubine concubine said it is very delicate."

"Do you like it every time?" Cheng Mubai tilted his head to look out the window, spring is here, the frozen pool water melts, and the wind blows, causing ripples.Sometimes quiet, sometimes flicking, a gentle smile was drawn on the corner of his lips.

Jing Nan couldn't figure out what Cheng Mubai was thinking, and didn't dare to speculate too much. He asked his own doubts, "My lord, Jing Nan stayed at Xuemei Residence for a while these days, and the teas served by the concubine are almost all first-class treasures. Your lord Pity the son who is sick, and loves tea. The new tea he gives is of the highest quality, and the tea in other rooms is far inferior to the son. But the concubine uses it, which is worse than the son. She was brought up by the third wife, and the third wife drinks it. Without such good tea, how can the Crown Princess get it?"

Cheng Mubai took another sip of the ginseng tea, "The Concubine Shizi has a source of income outside, otherwise, she would not be able to afford her expenses, and Lou Kaiyang and Lou Yaoguang love her very much, so the cost of eating and drinking is excellent from what I have seen .”

"I always feel that the concubine Shizi is very mysterious. The emerald jade bracelet cannot be bought with money." Jing Nan said truthfully, "The concubine Shizi was raised in the Lou family when she was young. It is useless to be young. In the early years, the third wife also suffered from the anger of the big house and the second house. Her own children could not take care of her. Yes. But you can see that the concubine's demeanor and conversation are all the demeanor of a lady, noble and elegant, which is really rare."

Cheng Mubai gave Jing Nan a funny look, and said indifferently, "It seems that Jing Nan has a good impression of Shi Zifei."

Jing Nan paused, and hurriedly said, "Jing Nan made a slip of the tongue, my son, please forgive me."

The corner of Cheng Mubai's lips twitched, Yun Buhui was unfathomable, he already knew that the rumors about her started from Fengcheng, and then suddenly got involved in Lou Yanran and Cheng Youtian, dramatically turning her from being humiliated into a victim, fighting As much as he could sympathize with him, he knew that there was a force behind this woman protecting her. As for what it was, at that time, he just felt that the matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

He was fascinated by Cheng Youtian's scene between two women.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yun Buhui would take such a risk, put his idea on his head, and get him involved in this turmoil. Although it was not his original intention, he did not reject it until today.

"Your Majesty, what should Miss Lou do if she stops her subordinates in person next time?

Cheng Mubai said lightly, "You can answer whatever you want."

Jing Nan understood.

Lingxi's soft voice sounded outside the room, "My lord, the cuckoo next to the young master brought cakes."

Cheng Mubai put down the teacup slowly, "Come in!"

"Yes!" Lingxi said while welcoming Dujuan in.Du Juan is Cheng Youtian's personal maid as well as the housemaid. She looks pretty, with red lips and white teeth. She has a beautiful face and is better dressed than ordinary maids. She is also much better than Lingxin and Lingxi around Cheng Mubai. She is in Cheng Youtian's place. It's already half master.

Jing Nan took the basket from Du Juan's hand, and said with a smile, "Young master is very kind to the son, and I would like to trouble Miss Du Juan to bring the cakes."

Du Juan smiled charmingly, and saluted Cheng Mubai with a radiant demeanor, "My lord, the young master said that you always like to eat horseshoe cake, and today the small kitchen made some, and the young master thought that the young master loved it, so he ordered his servants to bring some. It’s fine if you don’t dislike it.”

"Miss Du Juan, thank you for my hard work, brother." Cheng Mubai said, "It just so happens that Lingxi also made some chestnut osmanthus cakes today, and you also bring a plate back for big brother to try."

Lingxi blessed her body and went down to prepare.

Du Juan said with a charming smile, "Your Majesty has a heart. His little kitchen makes the best dim sum. If you are free some other day, you will have more servants and souls. Lingxi will learn more."

Lingxin said with a smile, "Sister Du Juan is exaggerating. If you want to learn pastry, just let me know. Lingxin will teach you in the past, so why bother you to come here."

Du Juan covered her lips with her long sleeves, "Sister Lingxin, you are the person next to Shi Ziye, how dare I bother you to go there in person."

Cheng Mubai drank the ginseng tea lightly and did not interrupt. Men generally do not interrupt when women talk, and Lingxin is Cheng Mubai's personal maid, and Du Juan is Cheng Youtian's personal maid. When they talk, they also try to figure out the master's intentions.

Lingxi had already prepared the cakes, and Du Juan looked at the rose-colored chestnut osmanthus cake on the plate, and praised, "Lingxi and sister Lingxin are really skillful, the cakes are so beautiful, and the young master is very happy after a while." It's almost February, do you still have the sweet-scented osmanthus from last year?"

Lingxi smiled softly, "In autumn, Lingxin and I picked up sweet-scented osmanthus wine and chilled it a lot. In winter and spring, we made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for refreshing."

She put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into the basket, and Lingxin said, "Sister, sister Du Juan also said that she would learn to make cakes with us."

Lingxi handed the basket to Du Juan, and said with a smile, "I heard from the magpie in the young master's room that sister Du Juan is not good at cooking, and she doesn't like these things on weekdays. How can she learn it now? Is the new grandma coming in? Sister Du Juan Learn to try something new for the new grandma."
