There is a rich sandalwood burning in the Treasure Pavilion. Although there is no stove, it can make people feel a little warm.
Le Zhi saw Huo Du leaning on a white jade cane standing in front of the Bogu frame, not knowing what he was looking at. She walked slowly to his side and followed his line of sight to the fifth floor of Bogujia—
There is a delicate mahogany box with two bright night pearls inside.
Le Zhi's face sank.
Night Pearl is Huo Xu's favorite collection.
Huo Du took down the mahogany box, as if casually, "The three emperors are getting married, how about this gift?"
The light of the night pearl is soft, but looking at it, Le Zhi's eyes are a little painful.
Such a good thing, for Huo Xu...
"It's wasted," she said as she took the wooden box and put it back in place.
"Le Zhi." Huo Du chuckled lightly, reaching out to hold her wrist, "You are too stingy."
However, that dog thing is really not worthy.
Le Zhi was noncommittal and followed Huo Du to continue the selection. There are many treasures in Treasure Pavilion, childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, Lezhi knows Huo Xu's likes and dislikes.
So, she deliberately chose the gold and jade bottles that Huo Xu disliked the most.
After coming out of the Treasure Pavilion, Lezhi saw Jingxin and Linyue with food boxes in their hands, returning with a full load. After seeing her and Huo Du, the two girls withdrew the smiles on their faces and hurried over to salute.
Le Zhi didn't intend to hide from Huo Du about doing business, and he couldn't hide it.
"What's the harvest today?" Le Zhi asked with a smile.
"If you go back to the master, the most prosperous shop in the city these days is Sweet Kam Kee." Lin Yue replied, "The servant and Jing Xin spent a long time in the shop together, and found that men, women and children who pass by would enter the shop to take a look. "
Xu Shi was infected by Linyue's smile, and Jing Xin, who had always been restrained, relaxed a lot at this time, she added with a smile: "There are many kinds of candied candies, cakes and nuts in Sweet Kam Kee, and slaves and Lin Yue have chosen them. Bring back some good ones for you to try."
Le Zhi smiled and nodded, she was relieved, the two girls were really clever.
But Huo Du was still on the side, so she couldn't just follow them away. She knew that Huo Du had always disliked these sweet snacks, so she asked politely, "Do you want to try it together, Your Highness?"
Huo Du could see a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, but it wasn't as she intended, "Okay."
"..."
As dusk approaches, the sun sets in the west, taking away the warmth, and the sky begins to flutter with snowflakes. I wanted to go to the yard to taste, but I had to go back to the bedroom.
The two girls put the candied pastries on small plates, put them on the table, and then retired.
Le Zhi took a candied peach and put it in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste filled his mouth, "It's delicious, so delicious!"
In the past, she liked to eat candy candies very much. Although the candied fruit in Qi State was different from that in Li State, it tasted very good. Lezhi will taste each one carefully...
"Why doesn't Your Highness eat it?" Le Zhi saw that Huo Du was just sitting, but he hadn't tasted it, so he twisted a piece of fructose and put it to his lips, "Try it, Your Highness."
The fruity scent floated to the nose, sweet and greasy, Huo Du glanced at it with disgust, and refused: "No..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the little hand on his lips quickly stuffed the sugar into his mouth, and the sweet taste instantly overflowed. Huo Du's face darkened instantly.
It tasted very similar to the candy he tasted as a child...
There was a person in his memory who was like this. She put a box of candy in his hand and said, "Little Du, I'll be back soon."
He nodded obediently.
But until he ate the whole box of candy, the man didn't come back...
Since then, he has hated candy, even anything sweet.
Huo Du's complexion became more and more gloomy, and the already cold white complexion seemed a little pale at this time. Le Zhi was terrified, afraid that his jokes would make him unhappy.
She approached him tremblingly, bowed her head and confessed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
no respond.
"His Royal Highness doesn't like to eat, just... just spit it out." She whispered, and then put the slightly trembling palm to his lips.
In the next instant, Huo Du grabbed her hand and pulled it hard. When she reacted, Huo Du's lips were already covered up, and the breath was intertwined, and she could see his amazed expression in his lacquered eyes.
Unlike the last time he was in Tangquan Pool, this time he kissed eagerly and fiercely. Really pissed...
Le Zhi felt that he used the tip of his tongue to push the remaining candy into her mouth. The lychee candy was soft and fragrant. He didn't let go of her until the candy completely melted.
Huo Du rubbed her watery lips with his fingertips, which made Le Zhi blushed even more.
"Do you still dare?" His tone was leisurely.
Lezhi shook his head vigorously—
Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!
The temperament of this lunatic is too hard to guess.
After a while, Le Zhi decided to change the subject to ease the weird atmosphere.
"Your Highness, what do you think of opening a snack shop like this?" Le Zhi said, she really had no business experience.
Huo Du's gloomy face finally showed a smile.
Gee, I wanted to open a shop.
Such a shop, with small profits but quick turnover, is not profitable at all. Coupled with the existence of time-honored brands, it is even more difficult for new shops to be profitable.
An inexperienced person like her is bound to lose.
Thinking of this, Huo Du was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking seriously, and then smiled gently: "Gu thinks the idea of the Crown Princess is very good."
Whether she loses money or not, what does it matter to him
Oh, it seems to be related, she asked him to borrow her capital.
Oh, that would be great.
It's a loss, it's better not to go up.
It's rare to see such a kind smile on Huo Du's face, but the heart of Cola Branch has a slight chill...
In order to try these candied cakes, Lezhi almost held himself up and didn't even take a few bites of dinner.
Jingxin carefully brought the hawthorn tea, and waited on her to change by the way—
Le Zhi gave Jing Xin the errand to serve personally. Although this girl doesn't talk much, she knows how to watch her words very well.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Le Zhi took a sip of tea and saw Jing Xin who was combing her hair behind him. The little girl has delicate eyebrows and a soft temperament.
"Jingxin, where is your hometown?" Le Zhi asked, as if chatting with her, "How many people are there?"
Hearing this, Jing Xin held the hand of the wooden comb for a while, the smile on his face faded, and his eyebrows narrowed slightly.
Le Zhi turned his head and said with a smile, "I just asked casually, it's alright, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
But Jing Xin's eyes gradually turned red, and she choked up and said, "It's not that slaves don't want to say back to the master. It's just slaves... slaves don't know..."
Le Zhi asked her to sit on the chair, took out the handkerchief and handed it to her, "Don't worry, speak slowly."
"A few years ago, the slave was seriously ill, and I couldn't remember anything when I woke up. Later, a person who claimed to be my aunt sold me into the palace, and the slave was arranged by the palace steward to go to the East Palace as an errand."
I see.
What Jing experienced turned out to be a rare amnesia. So, does her past have anything to do with An Xuan
Le Zhi suddenly felt a headache.
In this unfamiliar Daqi, the people around her are all fans...
