As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 92 Chestnuts
"Yeah." Yun Qi responded calmly and sat on the round stool next to Xie Zhaozhao, "What did you do last night and didn't sleep well? Come to me to catch up on your sleep."

Xie Zhaozhao ignored his joke, picked up the sugar-roasted chestnuts and frowned.

I had slept for at least half an hour, and the roasted chestnuts were already cold!
"Wait a minute." She stood up, went to the door and saw Grandma Li, then handed her chestnut hands to her, "Excuse me, Grandma, please warm it up."

"Yes."

Aunt Li bowed and left.

Xie Zhaozhao was about to turn back, but when he turned around, he saw Yun Qi following him and standing behind him.

The scent of ambergris hit his nose, and Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes and looked at him: "You are very busy."

"It's not bad." Yun Qi lowered his head slightly, "You came to see me today. You probably didn't miss me, but came to see me specifically, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Xie Zhaozhao could react, Yun Qi suddenly frowned and raised his hand to stroke Xie Zhaozhao's bun.

Xie Zhaozhao is wearing a beautiful Yuanbao bun today, with two beautiful Dongzhuzhu flowers pinned to the root of the bun.

"I didn't give this as a gift." Yun Qi stared at Xie Zhaozhao, "Why don't you wear it?"

"what are you saying……"

Xie Zhaozhao turned sideways, avoided Yun Qi's touch and returned to the table, "Speak as you say, don't always make unexpected moves."

Not getting an answer from Yun Qi, Xie Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that he had just asked something else.

She turned back: "What did you give me?"

"I asked your fifth brother to bring you something." Yun Qi asked, "Didn't you receive it?"

"..." Xie Zhaozhao was silent, "He gave it, but he didn't say it was from you. He thought he gave it to me casually, so he didn't read it."

"Then remember to read it when you get back."

Yun Qi also returned to the table and sat down.

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Yun Qi ordered someone to prepare dinner.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that it would be the same to eat first and then ask about things in the palace, so he ate in silence.

After dinner was finished, Grandma Li just happened to bring the chestnuts warmed up and served them in an unusually delicate glass cup.

Yun Qi looked at the chestnuts, then looked at Xie Zhaozhao, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes flashing, "Peel them for me."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao cleaned his hands, then sat at the table and carefully peeled chestnuts.

There are some calluses on her fingertips and palms, but her hands are long and well-proportioned, with full nails. The half-moons are white and the rest are red.

The simple action of taking off a chestnut shell with your fingertips is so beautiful that it makes people dizzy.

Yun Qi supported his chin with one hand and lazily watched her peel out the chestnuts one by one and put them into the empty jade cup on the other side. He suddenly said, "What do you want to see me for?"

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes moved, but the movements under his hands did not stop, "Do I have to come to you for something?"

"Is not it?"

Yun Qi smiled: "Actually, I know that you are here just to thank Xingchen for the marriage, and the attitude of the palace."

This time Xie Zhaozhao stopped and looked up at Yun Qi.

"See what I'm doing? I must have guessed right." Yun Qi pinched a chestnut and ate it. "Grandpa Huang has sent an imperial edict to Prince Liang, asking him to come to Beijing to get married. He will be back in a few days."

"He will come back?"

Xie Zhaozhao frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Unless he wants to rebel, he wouldn't dare not come back." Yun Qi said coldly: "Grandpa Huang is still here, and Prince Liang can't make a big splash."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Emperor Xuanwu's success in conquering the world was definitely not due to luck.

His imperial skills and methods are among the best among the emperors in the past hundred years.

He is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the current Qin Dynasty.As long as he sat firmly on the throne, other vassals and towns would not dare to cause trouble.

Although the King of Liang was arrogant and domineering, he was still a little kid in front of his father, who was the most respected person in the world.

"The King of Liang is restless in Youyun Sixteen Provinces, and now he has made the whole court angry." Xie Zhaozhao peeled two more chestnuts, "When he comes back this time, is it possible that the Holy One will keep him in the capital and prevent him from returning? Are you going to Youyun Sixteen States?"

"possible."

Yun Qi nodded, "But my third uncle is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe there is a way to deal with it. We will see when the time comes."

Xie Zhaozhao said "hmm" and continued peeling.

Some images come to mind.

When he was younger, Xie Zhaozhao often bought Yunqi chestnuts there, and often in this state, he would pester her to peel them before eating them.

He didn't want to look at someone else's peeling.

At that time, although Xie Zhaozhao laughed and joked that he liked to boss her around, she could always sit down and help him peel a plate.

It seems that... Yun Qi at that time was just like now, holding her chin with her hand and tilting her head to look at it. When she was done peeling the chestnuts, she didn't eat the chestnuts first, but——

His wrist was gently held.

Xie Zhaozhao came to her senses and looked up, and saw a warm towel falling on her hand.

Yun Qi carefully wiped each of her fingers, wiping away the chestnut residue on them. The tender pink nails were illuminated by the flower candles with a soft light.

Xie Zhaozhao felt that his breathing was a little unsteady and his heart was beating wildly.

She pursed her lips subconsciously and was about to withdraw her hand.

"do not move."

Yun Qi frowned slightly: "The oily skin on your palms has been scratched in two places, and you have been practicing too hard."

"What's this..." Xie Zhaozhao pulled his hands back and shook them with force, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and a bruise is the lightest injury. Don't wait, eat it quickly, it will harden when it is cold. It doesn’t taste good.”

Yun Qi responded with a smile: "Okay."

He twisted two pills to eat himself, and unexpectedly stuffed one into Xie Zhaozhao's mouth.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at him, then chewed and swallowed.

As a result, he was encouraged. After eating two pills, he would give her one.

Xie Zhaozhao was helpless and quickly stood up and sat further away, "Don't give it to me."

This is what he likes to eat, but it's not what I like to eat.

Yun Qi smiled and stopped eating, "Although Chu Nanxuan seems to have escaped unscathed this time, in fact, Grandpa Huang has not been kind to him these days."

Thank Zhaozhao for a meal.

This time Chu Nanxuan will tell the truth, and the reason is not difficult to guess.

He always believed that this child was his son, and most likely he wanted to use this child to manipulate King Liang to achieve his goals in the future.

After all, King Liang has no heirs so far. This child is King Liang's only son and may be his heir in the future.

It's just that this child suddenly appeared in front of Emperor Xuanwu during the ceremony of the Water and Land Conference.

If Chu Nanxuan didn't make it clear, the child would be blamed on him. His engagement with Xie Zhaozhao would be annulled, and he would have to marry Xie Xingchen.

Marrying Xie Xingchen would actually offend the eldest member of the Xie family.

He simply told the whole story. Anyway, he and Prince Liang were already involved in the inferior ordnance incident.

But this would inevitably make Emperor Xuanwu even more dissatisfied with him.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly said: "Maybe he didn't intend to tell Prince Liang at the beginning."
