There was a table on the long couch, and a small vase on the table. Inside the vase were two small hosta flowers, as delicate as jade, elegant and fragrant.
Outside the window is the rustling sound of rain hitting plantains. On the table are two steaming bowls of stewed pork noodles, a dish of crab, and several kinds of pickles for the noodles. They are neatly arranged, beautiful and fragrant.
Tao Ti sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at Pei Yan opposite, "I didn't want to eat rice tonight, so I just cooked some noodles... I didn't expect you to come, Your Highness... Well, you will just eat?"
Pei Yanwen said, "That's good."
Tao Ti smiled and said, "Yeah, then eat it quickly, the noodles are delicious when they are hot, and they will fall off after a long time."
Pei Yan picked up the chopsticks and looked at the noodles in front of him. The noodles were uniform in thickness and showed a faint yellow color. The top is covered with a layer of stewed pork, which is crystal clear, crispy, red and tender. A boiled egg cut in half and two crispy cabbages decorate a bowl of noodles with rich colors, just looking at it makes your index finger move.
The noodles are soft and smooth, and the noodle soup is rich. The stewed pork is even more soft, glutinous and fragrant, fat but not greasy, and the taste is extremely delicious.
"Your Highness, don't just eat noodles, try this crab game. The yellow croaker purchased by the dining room today is very fresh, and Director Sun specially sent me a few." Tao Ti suggested.
"Crab competition?" Pei Yan's eyes fell on the golden and delicious dish in the middle.
"Well, it's actually fried fish with eggs. But this dish tastes like crab, but it's more delicious than crab, so it's called Sai Crab." Tao Ti introduced to him with great interest, "Look at this white and tender fish. Slippery, does it look like crab meat? And this golden egg yolk, does it look like crab roe?"
Pei Yan smiled, "Well, like."
Picking up a chopstick and putting it into his mouth, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It tastes good, it's delicious and smooth, and it deserves the name of this dish."
Seeing that he likes to eat, Tao Ti was also happy, "If you like to eat, eat more. A good appetite will make you healthy."
To be honest, seeing him so thin and pale, she subconsciously had an urge to feed him, wanting to feed him stronger and healthier—er, why does the more I think about it, the more it looks like maternal love
No, no, what kind of motherly love is messed up.
Well, she did it out of sympathy for the little poor, and her cherishment and love for beautiful things! Just like feeding cubs, cats, dogs, hamsters...
Pei Yan didn't know that he had already compared with N animals in Tao Ti's mind, and he was almost done eating. He put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief gracefully.
"I heard that you sent your personal maid back to the Hou Mansion?" He asked casually.
A look of astonishment flashed across Tao Ti's face, and when she came back to her senses, she said seriously, "Well, she prefers to work in the Hou's Mansion, so I let her out of the palace."
Pei Yan said softly, "This way...", but did not continue to ask further questions.
It would be fine if he didn't mention Zishuang, but Tao Ti couldn't help but get tangled up when he mentioned it, should he tell Pei Yan about Pei Changzhou sending the letter
If he said that, the past between the original owner and Pei Changzhou would be revealed. Pei Yan is not in good health, so he must not be out of breath. If he vomits blood in anger, then he is really guilty.
But if he didn't say anything, he felt that he was not honest enough to keep him in the dark... And who knew if Pei Changzhou would not give up and continue to engage in other flirty operations.
Ahh... what should I do!
Tao Ti frowned sullenly, and stuffed noodles into her mouth mouthful after mouthful, her cheeks were bulging, like a little squirrel storing food.
Seeing her preoccupied look, Pei Yan reminded softly, "Eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."
As he spoke, he handed her a glass of warm water by the way.
Tao Ti glanced at him gratefully, caught a glimpse of his almost transparent pale skin, thought about it, and decided to hide it from him first.
Pei Yanxiao's pitiful lifespan is not long, it will take more than a year to survive, let him enjoy the remaining days with peace of mind, and don't worry about those old sesame seeds and rotten grains.
Besides, she has made up her mind not to have anything to do with Pei Changzhou. Even if Pei Changzhou sends letters or gets close to him on purpose in the future, she can't afford to provoke him and can't hide
It was raining non-stop outside, so Pei Yan took advantage of the situation and rested in Yaoguang Hall.
Tao Ti didn't care, and boiled two cups of hot milk, one for each of him.
"Drinking more milk is good for your health, and drinking it before going to bed can help you sleep."
"Is it?"
"Yeah, I read it from a medical book." Tao Ti said, as if to prove her words, she raised her head and drank the glass of milk in her hand.
In the end, he looked at him with a pair of watery black eyes, as if saying, "Look, I've finished drinking, you can drink it at ease."
Seeing her like this, Pei Yan's deep black pupils were stained with a soft color. Suddenly, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand towards her.
When that cold finger touched the corner of her mouth, Tao Ti was momentarily stunned.
He he he... what is he doing
This distance, this posture, this gentle gaze...
She just felt that the little deer in her heart seemed to be going crazy, rampaging, hitting to the death...
Pei Yan wiped the corner of her mouth with his clean fingers, and when he saw the shock and shyness in her sparkling water eyes, he explained, "There are milk stains at the corner of your mouth. Circle the mustache."
Tao Ti, "This, this way..."
With a click, Xiao Lu broke his waist in embarrassment, and the charming fantasy disappeared without a trace.
"Offended." Pei Yan withdrew his hand and took a step back.
"No, it's fine, thank you." Tao Ti felt her cheeks burning hot.
The corner of Pei Yan's lips curled up, "But it's still very cute."
Tao Ti, "!!!"
The little deer in my heart came alive again, and happily performed Yangko, singing that today is a good day...
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If Qiongqi was here at this moment, she would definitely hold Qiongqi's shoulder and shake it wildly back and forth, "Ahhh he praised me for being cute! I am cute!"
Seeing that Tao Ti blushed and said nothing, Pei Yan's round eyes were like sparkling gems, bright and clear, which made him feel an inexplicable emotion.
He suppressed the strange emotion, turned his eyes away, picked up the milk on the table, and took a sip.
"Is it delicious? I added sugar, so it should taste pretty good." Tao Ti asked impatiently, her face full of anticipation.
Pei Yan met her gaze again, and that strange feeling surged up again. He didn't speak, just drank the milk and nodded to her.
Tao Ti narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Then you get used to it, and the kitchen can prepare it for you every day."
Do you want the kitchen ready
Pei Yan's slender eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the inexplicable loss in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Okay."
At night, the two fell asleep together.
Tao Ti's sleep quality was very good, as soon as she touched the pillow, she fell asleep in a short time.
Hearing the soft breathing in his ears, Pei Yan slowly turned his head, and his eyes were her sweet sleeping appearance.
Her long black hair was piled peacefully on the blue soft pillow, and the thin moon-white pajamas were also neatly worn, tight and tight, without revealing the slightest spring light.
Thinking of her natural and casual sleeping appearance last time, a slight smile appeared in Pei Yan's calm eyes.
After a while, he lifted the quilt lightly, got out of bed slowly, and walked steadily to the window outside the hall.
As soon as the window is opened, the cold wind blows along with the humidity of the rain, which wakes up the brain a lot.
After three quick and thin whistles, a black figure flashed in from the window, knelt down on one knee, "Master."
Pei Yanjun's handsome face was expressionless, and his voice was low and indifferent, "Keep an eye on Pei Changzhou recently."
Based on what he knew about Pei Changzhou, that man would never give up so easily.
"Yes." The dark guard replied.
"Also, the servant girl sent out by the Crown Princess knows too much, tell her to shut up."
"Your subordinates obey." Only the dead will shut up forever.
After the hidden guard retreated, Pei Yan returned to the bedside.
Tao Ti's sleeping position has changed from lying flat to side lying, with one arm draped over the quilt, and on her white and slender wrist, the white jade bracelet is shiny and soft.
Just now I thought she slept well, but she became restless after a while. Seemingly helpless, Pei Yan bent down, gently lifted the quilt, squeezed her limp arm, and put it back under the quilt.
As if feeling that someone was moving her, Tao Ti's eyelashes trembled, and her small mouth let out a lazy moan.
Soft, whiny, with a bit of coquettish meaning.
Pei Yan stared at her sleeping face, thinking, this cute and quiet appearance is quite painful.
Then he thought that not only did she not go to Pei Changzhou this time, but she also kicked out the provocative maid. He pinched her soft little face in satisfaction, and boasted in a hoarse voice, "You're so cute."
