"Caomin's appetite has been bad these days, so I keep some pastries for food every day, but the past few days are not fresh and I throw them away, only today's ones are left, and I am about to throw them away..."
"It's too wasteful to throw it away. Why don't you still eat it?" Ji Ting hurriedly interrupted him, and paused when he saw the smile in his eyes, completely giving up on himself, "I'm so hungry, Mr. Shentu... "
When Shen Tuchuan heard the soft tone like in a dream, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze for a moment. He hurriedly got up and walked towards the house, explaining in a disguised way while walking: "Cao Min went to get food for His Highness..."
He disappeared into the door while talking, Ji Ting waited expectantly, and saw him coming out with a plate soon after.
"There is nothing hot in these cakes, and your Highness should not affect your health after eating them." Shen Tuchuan said, and brought the plate in front of her.
Ji Ting picked up a pastry and ate it, and frowned unhappily when he heard the words: "It doesn't affect my body anymore, but Mu Yuzhi still doesn't allow me to eat it, it's really vicious."
Hearing her speak ill of Mu Yuzhi in front of him, Shen Tuchuan just chuckled and said nothing, but felt uncomfortable because of the familiarity with Mu Yuzhi in her tone... Forget it, he was really crazy.
"...Do you want to eat?" Ji Ting saw him staring at him eagerly, and asked out of the situation, but in fact his eyes were full of vigilance, and he had no intention of sharing at all.
Shen Tuchuan had never seen such a food-protecting person before, and he found it interesting for a while, so he reached out and took a pastry: "It just so happens that the grass people are also a little hungry."
"..." What's the matter with this guy, didn't he just say he didn't have a good appetite just now, and he snatched away one of these few.
Ji Ting was afraid that he would snatch his own if he didn't have enough pastries, so he hurriedly speeded up his eating, and soon there was no more food on the plate.
She stroked her slightly swollen belly, and nodded to Shen Tuchuan contentedly: "It's getting late, I won't bother Mr. Shentu to watch the moon."
Shen Tuchuan stood up: "Respectfully send off Your Highness the Princess."
Ji Ting responded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly heard Shen Tuchuan say indifferently: "Tomorrow is said to be shrimp wontons. If you come early, you may be able to eat hot ones."
Ji Ting couldn't move his footsteps anymore, and with difficulty restraining his saliva, he reluctantly walked out. Shen Tuchuan raised the corners of his lips and turned back to his room, thinking that he might be able to sleep without dreams tonight.
The next night Ji Ting really came as scheduled, and seeing the hot wontons he brought out, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "I didn't come too early, how did you do it?"
"I have nothing to do today, so I cleaned out the small kitchen in the courtyard, and asked the servant girl to bring more raw wontons, and I guess it's almost time before cooking." Shen Tuchuan said slowly.
Ji Ting took a bite of the wonton, and the crunchy shrimp filled her mouth instantly. She swallowed it with a sigh of relief, and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment: "I didn't expect that you, a son of a family, can actually have some cooking skills."
"The juniors of the Shentu family have to learn everything." Speaking of the Shentu family, Shen Tuchuan is still proud of it, but when he thinks that the family with a strong family tradition will end up like this one day, he can't help but feel a little disappointed.
Ji Ting was eating wontons and saw that he stopped talking, so he changed his mind and smiled: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, no one can say for sure that the world is changing. Although your Shentu family seems to be defeated now, as long as you The children of the Shentu family are still there, and the upbringing of the Shentu family is still there, so they are not afraid of being buried forever."
The moonlight was like water, and it fell gently on her shoulders. Hearing her resolute words, Shen Tuchuan suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
"In short, things are like this now, let's be happy, and occasionally sad, it's better to eat a bowl of small wontons." Hearing this, Ji scooped up a spoonful of wontons and ate them with a smile.
Shen Tuchuan raised his lips and poured her a cup of tea to dry.
After eating and drinking, Ji Ting felt that it was not good to go straight away, so he sat with him for a while before turning around and leaving. After she left, Shen Tuchuan went back to his room to rest.
From this day on, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, every night Shen Tuchuan would wait for Ji Ting, and Ji Ting would come over for a meal before leaving.
Ji Ting drank porridge during the day, and relied on this good meal to continue her life at night, so it was always rainy and rainy, but Mu Yuzhi's porridge not only didn't make her thin, but after eating like this for two days, there was more flesh on her face.
Another day at noon, Ji Ting and Mu Yuzhi rarely got together. Mu Yuzhi took a look at her and said slowly, "Your Highness's complexion is getting better and better."
"...The main reason is that the porridge in the kitchen is cooked well." Ji Ting felt a little guilty.
Mu Yuzhi squinted his eyes and looked at her for a while, then suddenly laughed: "No matter how good porridge is, it's not as good as big fish and meat. I think His Highness is already in good health, and I haven't seen any more nosebleeds. Why don't you change it from today?" Use the previous meal."
"Really?" Ji Ting's eyes lit up.
Mu Yuzhi nodded: "Of course it's true, we haven't been together for a long time, why don't we have dinner with His Highness today when I have a banquet with Fuyun Chu."
"Okay, then... I want to eat braised lion's head." Ji Ting, who was not full enough all the time during the day, asked carefully.
Mu Yu agreed gently, and Ji Ting cheered, with a big smile on his face, Fu Yun was also very happy: "It's great that Your Highness can eat delicious food! I'll ask the boy to buy roast chicken, Buy two for Your Highness!"
"Huh! Go!" Ji Ting pushed him out with a smile.
Chu Yan looked at their backs and was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "Your Highness has often gone to Shen Tuchuan these days and nights, you don't know about this, do you?" However, Mu Yuzhi was responsible. He didn't believe that Mu Yuzhi didn't know about His Royal Highness' recent actions.
"It's better to block it than to block it. If you forcibly block everything, it will arouse His Highness's rebellious heart. Besides, His Highness doesn't have that kind of thought for Shen Tuchuan. It's not too serious to just steal a pastry to fill his stomach. .” Mu Yu chuckled lightly.
Chu Yan disagreed: "Why isn't it serious? That's Shen Tuchuan, the person His Highness missed so much in the past. If you are tempted by his pastries again, you will cry."
"Your Highness will not go again." The smile on Mu Yuzhi's face deepened.
Chu Yan paused for a moment, not quite convinced, but after thinking about it, Mu Yuzhi is just a fox, and nothing can escape his control. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.
This day and season has been quite happy. There are big fish and meat at noon, all kinds of pastries in the afternoon, and even a side fire with Mu Yuzhi and the others at night, and snacks before going to bed at night.
"Hurp..." It was a fulfilling day, Ji Ting lay down contentedly, and vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but his stomach was so full that he really didn't want to think about it, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Before she was about to lose consciousness, she thought of Shen Tuchuan from the other courtyard. She ordered meatball soup today, and he should have made it for herself... Ji Ting's mind was empty, and he fell asleep instantly.
On the other side, Shen Tuchuan made meatball soup and sat in the yard waiting, not knowing when the dew wet his shoulders. It wasn't until the rooster crowed from the kitchen and the sky turned white that he was sure that Ji Ting would not come tonight.
Looking at the completely cold meatball soup on the table, Shen Tuchuan moved slightly, picked it up and took a sip. There were oily flakes floating on the cold meat, it was greasy and unappetizing, and there was a little nausea, but he still ate it bite by bite.
Putting down the empty bowl, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom, his handsome back showing a trace of desolation.
Ji Ting, who is completely different from him, sat up and thought about the breach of contract yesterday... Although the male supporting role may not be impatient to go by himself, it is not good to suddenly break the contract. Ji Ting thought about it and wrote a letter With an apology and a letter of thanks, the maid with the strictest tongue was called and delivered to Shen Tuchuan's door.
And this letter was blown into a corner by a gust of wind before Shen Tuchuan woke up, and when Shen Tuchuan went out, it was completely out of sight.
Life seems to have completely returned to normal, but although Ji Ting sent the letter, he was still uneasy because he didn't get any feedback, but after thinking about it, maybe Shen Tuchuan felt that the relationship between the two people was not enough to write letters to each other, so he didn't Write her back.
Thinking about it this way, Ji Ting immediately stopped thinking about it and concentrated on being her extravagant eldest princess. After handing over the military power, she doesn't have to go to work. She has nothing to do all day and can only spend money. After shopping for clothes and jewelry, and after buying jewelry, she can buy a house. Boring, she can barely get a little happiness from shopping.
Well, the life of the rich is often so unpretentious.
The 'plain and unpretentious' Ji Ting is getting more and more happy, spending a lot of money can happen every day, but Shen Tuchuan is not very happy. Although he knew that Ji Ting's restriction on drinking porridge had been lifted, and these days the kitchen had changed ways to prepare delicious food for her, Shen Tuchuan was still very upset if she didn't come to his place.
Could it be that in his eyes, he is just a cook? Shen Tuchuan felt an unknown anger in his heart, but he also knew that his anger was inexplicable. He cooked the meal voluntarily and was willing to accept her order. He even took the initiative to clean up the small kitchen in the courtyard for her. He did all of this by himself , has nothing to do with Ji Ting.
But I just couldn't help being angry, even couldn't help... I wanted to use this excuse to find her.
After a few days of patience, Shen Tuchuan couldn't hold back anymore, cooked a bowl of lean meatballs with a cold face, and took it to Ji Ting under the moonlight.
Ji Ting was about to go to sleep, when he heard a knock on the door, he became confused instantly. She is not a person with privacy in this family. Whether it's the maids or Fuyun, they basically come in directly. She doesn't know how long it has been since she heard the knock on the door.
Really curious, Ji Ting simply put on his shoes and ran to open the door by himself.
The moment the door opened, a scent lingered on the tip of his nose, Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and felt that the world was magical after seeing the people outside... How could he come
"Shen Tuchuan?" Ji Ting thought for a moment that he was wrong.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her surprised expression, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. Looking at her fair face, he felt a little at a loss out of nowhere: "...um."
"What are you doing here?" After Ji Ting asked, he saw the meatball soup in his hand, blinked his eyes and froze. It's not what she thinks, is it
Just as she thought, Shen Tuchuan's ears turned red, he coughed and said lightly: "A gentleman honors his promise, since Cao Min promised to make meatballs for His Highness, he will naturally fulfill his promise, even if His Highness has forgotten, Cao Min must do what he says arrive."
"... Just because of this?" Ji Ting was a little dumbfounded, "It was Bengong who broke the appointment first, and you don't have to keep the promise."
This person just sent it to me today, I don't know how long I have been waiting.
Ji Ting sneered: "I am very grateful for your help to me a few days ago, so I also said in the letter, if you have anything you want, feel free to tell me, it will be my thank you gift Bar."
"A letter?" Shen Tuchuan was puzzled for a moment.
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment: "I wrote you a letter a few days ago, why didn't you see it?"
"Caomin really didn't see it." Shen Tuchuan frowned.
Ji Ting thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "The servant girl in this palace came back and said that you were not awake at that time, so you put it directly in front of the door, maybe the wind blows away."
"Perhaps, the grass man will go back and look for it."
Ji Ting waved his hand: "It's not that important things have been there for such a long time, and they may not be found yet, so don't bother."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the meatball soup in Shen Tuchuan's hand. In fact, she had already eaten a lot tonight, but looking at this bowl of hot soup, she still wanted to eat it.
A smile flashed in Shen Tuchuan's eyes: "Your Highness, eat while it's hot, Cao Min will leave first."
"Wait a minute." Hearing that Ji Wen took the bowl from him and walked into the house, he ran out quickly, and the bowl in his hand turned into a square box, "This is the best inkstone, I It's useless to keep it in the palace, so I might as well give it to you."
Shen Tuchuan was slightly startled: "For me?"
"Well, take it." Although his pastries were also made in his own kitchen, Ji Ting was still a little embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing at other people's place for so long.
Shen Tuchuan stared at the box containing the inkstone for a long time, then slowly took it over: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"It's getting late, you go back." Ji Ting smiled, and when he turned around, he closed the door directly and went to eat the bowl of meatballs.
Shen Tuchuan's big hands tightly pinched the corner of the box, his fingers were sweating due to excessive force, and at the same time, a layer of sweat broke out on his back.
He felt that there seemed to be a cluster of small flames in his heart, which were jumping and clamoring excitedly at the moment, jumping up and down all over his body with joy that he didn't even understand, and even made his whole body heat up.
This secret sense of joy came to an abrupt end when he was about to walk to the courtyard, Shen Tuchuan's eyes instantly became colder, and his steps became more steady.
He calmly walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the uninvited guests there, and asked indifferently for a while, "I don't know why Mr. Mu is here?"
Mu Yu looked at him with a smile, and his eyes fell on the gift box in his hand. Shen Tuchuan wanted to hide it for some reason, but his self-esteem made him hold back, and he just looked at Mu Yuzhi pretending to have nothing to do.
Mu Yuzhi chuckled: "The best inkstones were sent from Huizhou this time, and there are only four of them in total, two of which entered the palace, and two of which came to the princess mansion. The princess gave me one and kept one. I didn't expect that the one in the princess's hands would actually be in the hands of Mr. Shentu."
"Is there something wrong?" Shen Tuchuan asked lightly. Hearing it wasn't unique, he didn't want it.
Mu Yu shook his head: "How come, who the princess likes to send is her business, not to mention that His Highness has never given something to only one person, let alone that Mr. Shentu has served the princess carefully these days, and it is worth it A nice gift."
When Shen Tuchuan heard that he knew what had happened between himself and Ji Ting in the past few days, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Princess Mansion is your Highness's mansion, but His every move is under surveillance. It seems that His Highness is treating the people below too much." Peaceful."
"It's not that His Highness is lenient with others, but only with me, Mu Yuzhi." Mu Yuzhi chuckled, "What's more, what is the relationship between Mu and the princess? It's only natural that she treats me well. Can't get used to it?"
The blue veins on the forehead of Shen Tuchuan burst out faintly, but his face was still calm: "I don't like it, this is a family matter of your princess mansion, but I just ask Mr. Mu to lessen the surveillance of me Shen Tuchuan in the future. After all, I After all, Shen Tuchuan is not from your princess mansion."
"It's natural, Mr. Shentu doesn't intend to become a member of the princess's mansion, so Mu can rest assured. I also ask Mr. Shentu to always remember what he said at this moment, and don't go back on it one day," Mu Yuzhi's eyes smiled deeper, "After all, Mu doesn't want to be commensurate with Mr. Shentu's brother one day."
Only then did Shen Tuchuan understand what he came to find him for. The co-author felt that he was too close to the princess, so he rushed to beat him.
Shen Tuchuan sneered: "Young Master Mu is thinking too much. I am the only son in Shentu's family. It is impossible for Shentuchuan to have another brother." Even though he said that, he was still restless in his heart, even the joy of receiving the gift was too much. Completely disappeared.
He knew what Mu Yuzhi was reminding him of, and it was nothing more than telling him that if he had the heart for the princess, he had to accept that the princess was not just him. But in the matter of love in this world, it should be like his parents, only the other party for a lifetime, why does the man have three wives and four concubines, and the woman also provokes a bunch of men
As long as he thinks about the relationship between Mu Yuzhi and Ji Ting, Shen Tuchuan feels wronged.
"It seems that Mr. Shentu and the Princess Mansion really have no fate, but this is good. Mr. Shentu will have a prosperous future in the future, and there is no need to spend his life fighting with a few men in the backyard." Mu Yuzhi finished speaking with a smile, and watched Seeing his ashen face, he turned and left.
Sure enough, he guessed right, this person has already fallen in love with His Highness, if he doesn't stop him in time, he might be in trouble in the future.
Although he doesn't like Shen Tuchuan, he has to say that this person is also a pillar of talent, and he will have a great fortune in the future. It is precisely because of this that the princess must not have anything to do with him.
Not to mention the fact that Shen Tuchuan has disrespected the princess, he has always cared about it, but let's talk about the current situation. The princess has now handed over the military power, except for her status as a dignitary, she actually has no real power at all. If Shen Tuchuan and her love each other, she will not be able to detain him in the backyard just by virtue of her status as the eldest princess.
In the matter of husband and wife, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If one day Shen Tuchuan helps the Qingyun rise, the princess will definitely suffer disadvantages, and the most fearful thing is to marry Shen Tuchuan as his wife.
But the princess in his heart, since she got the last emperor's will to marry a man as a wife and concubine, naturally she should be happy for the rest of her life, be served and cared for by thousands of beautiful men, and try her best to get her favor, instead of raising her in a deep boudoir After marrying a woman, she takes care of the housework and bears the pressure of her husband with three wives and four concubines.
Therefore, Shen Tuchuan must be guarded no matter what. He can neither be offended nor allowed to fall in love with His Highness. Now that he has pointed out this matter, he hopes that Shen Tuchuan can stop the loss in time. If not... Mu Yu Zhi frowned, thinking that it is better to prepare for this matter, so as to avoid unexpected situations.
The Princess Mansion has been a bit boring recently, why not do something interesting. Mu Yu raised the corners of his lips.
"What? Taking a concubine?" Ji Ting stood up in shock.
Mu Yuzhi glanced at her: "Why are you so surprised? You are in your twenties now. If you are an ordinary woman, you have already given birth to a few children, so it's time to find a decent man and try your luck."
"...I'm not interested." Ji Ting was speechless, this man was addicted to being a father, and now he started to find someone for her again.
Mu Yuzhi looked at her with a smile: "Sorry, Your Highness doesn't count, I have already sent people to look for it."
"..."
