Shangguan Ming nodded, and reminded: "Go back to the palace early."
Su Li looked at him in surprise, "Shouldn't the general hope that I can't go back to the palace? Why should I remind you of this?"
"You don't have to think too much." Shangguan Ming said coldly.
"Anyway, thank you, General." Su Li opened the food box, took out a snail with apricot blossom butter and handed it over, "Thank you."
Shangguan Ming frowned, and his eyes fell on her slender and fair hands. Who doesn't love beauty among young girls? Even though she was wearing men's clothing and had scars on her face, she was a girl after all. Her fingernails are also painted with very light Danko, which is slightly pink and looks translucent and fragile.
And in such a hand, he held a piece of buttered snails. The snails that should have been milky white had been rubbed into the apricot blossoms, so that some of the petals were pink. Much like her nail color.
Shangguan Ming reached out and took her fried snails in butter.
Seeing that he was hesitant to pick it up, Su Li couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "See you, General."
Carrying a big food box, she walked out of the LaCrosse Building with light steps.
Shangguan Ming was holding a buttered snail in his hand. Looking down from the window, he could still see her figure about to disappear around the corner.
He took a look at the light pink ghee bubble snail in his hand, and then tasted it carefully. He has never eaten these exquisite desserts. In the bitter and cold frontier, it is good to be full. These sweet and not very filling things are just a fresh taste.
Shangguan Ming thought about it, but he finished it carefully mouthful by mouthful, without leaving even a little bit of crumbs.
Xiao family.
"My lord, the princess is here!" The boy ran into Xiao Xu's yard and said excitedly.
"Princess?" Xiao Xu was originally admiring a famous calligrapher from the previous dynasty, but the news from the servant made him throw away the famous card in his hand, then got up and ran out.
The boy snickered a bit, packed up his things before following him out.
"Master, I bought these from the Junyue Tower." When Xiao Xu arrived at the front hall, he happened to see Su Li open the food box and talk to Xiao Qing with a smile.
Xiao Qing didn't care about the food box, but just asked her, "How is the result of today's competition?"
Just as Su Li was about to speak, she heard Xiao Xu walk in and said, "Since Junior Sister is here, it must be good news."
Su Li turned around and looked at him, "Of course, how can I embarrass Master like this?"
Xiao Xu had already walked over, he looked down at the girl who was almost a head shorter than him, with a smile in his eyes that couldn't help, "Then congratulations, Junior Sister."
"Good performance." Xiao Qing also laughed. In the past three months, she has completely accepted Su Li, she is so hardworking and serious, especially in comparison with Xiao Xu, she is even more diligent.
When Su Li was praised by them, she smiled a little embarrassedly, "By the way, is Master Xiao there? I bought a lot of food, let's have dinner together."
"Father is going to discuss things with Mr. Chen today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for dinner."
"Then Mr. Xiao has no luck." Su Li said with a smile.
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the buttered snails on the top of the food box, "There are a total of eight buttered snails in one serving, and there are only seven left. Did my junior sister steal it on the way?"
"No!" Su Li covered her mouth, "It's just that I went out of the palace privately and was met by General Shangguan, so I had to take a conch to cover his mouth."
