Xiaoman was a little worried when she heard this: "How is the princess? I'll go get you some sour plums now, but I don't have many sour plums left. What should I do?"
Hongyue was also annoyed at this moment: "If I had known that the princess would like this, I would not have eaten it."
Hong Ling just coughed twice: "The princess may not like it! Well, let's go back now."
After all, no one had expected this at first. He glanced at Dongchen and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Dongchen glanced at Hongling coldly: "Are you here to pick some vegetables for massage? Are you feeling better?"
Hong Ling's face flushed immediately: "I just forgot about it. I'll go now."
After picking the vegetables, the two of them hurried back to the palace. However, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already finished dinner at this time when they received news from the housekeeper that Dongchen and Hongling had returned.
Mu Yexiao quickly let the two people in. Qian Jiujiu saw Hongling carrying a basket with cucumbers in it. She couldn't help but wonder: "Hongling, where did you find the cucumbers?"
Hong Ling smiled and said, "I picked these from Xiao Man. They are very fresh. And, Princess, I also got some sour plums from Xiao Man. Do you like them?"
Hong Ling handed the basket to the little girl beside her and said, "Take the vegetables down first."
Then Hongling took the sour plum and walked up to Qian Jiujiu. When Qian Jiujiu heard the name of sour plum, she felt a little puzzled. Is this sour plum the one she was thinking of
Sure enough, after Hong Ling took it out, she saw that it was really a plum, just like the plum in her previous life. Qian Jiujiu blinked twice: "You said this thing was also taken out by Xiao Man?"
"Where did she find plums in the middle of winter?"
Hongling and Dongchen looked at each other, and Hongling shook her head: "This servant did not ask, and I don't know, I just wanted to pick some fresh vegetables for the princess!"
"I came back to make you dinner! But it's still late."
Qian Jiujiu found this a little funny: "Okay, next time if there is a chance, this princess will ask it herself. This sour plum looks good."
Qian Jiujiu threw a sour plum into her mouth. It tasted really good, even better than ordinary plums. "Okay, I like sour plums. Keep them. You guys should hurry up and eat."
Hongling responded, then she saw that there was a Nanny Ping beside Qian Jiujiu. She looked at Nanny Ping with some curiosity, then turned and went to the kitchen to eat.
However, Nanny Ping looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, your behavior is a little inappropriate. Next time, it's better to find someone to check something like this."
Qian Jiujiu knew that Madam Ping was doing this for her own good, so she didn't feel disgusted: "Madam, I understand. Hongling is a very loyal girl and will not bring back anything dangerous."
After listening to Qian Jiujiu saying this, Nanny Ping didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
On the other hand, Hongling was thinking about Qian Jiujiu's question. The princess seemed to like eating sour plums very much, but Xiaoman didn't have many left.
No, she had to ask Xiaoman to make more. Otherwise, what would she do if the princess finished her meal and had no appetite
Thinking of this, Hongling glanced at Dongchen and said, "Master Dongchen, can you accompany me out for a while?"
Dongchen was also eating in the kitchen. Hearing Hongling's words, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise: "What do you want to do?"
Hong Ling coughed twice in embarrassment: "I want to ask Xiao Man how these sour plums are made. Can I ask her to make some more? After all, it's not easy to find some that the princess likes."
"Didn't they say that the vomiting would only last for the first three months? Princess, you just have to hold on for this month."
Dongchen thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to go with Hongling tonight. He would then report to the prince, so he agreed, "Okay."
He finished his meal in no time, then went to find Mu Yexiao and told him that he would accompany Hongling to the mountain in the evening. Mu Yexiao readily agreed.
Thinking of Qian Jiujiu's question today, a light flashed in Mu Yexiao's eyes: "Wait a minute, Dongchen, I have a question for you. What do you think of Hongling?"
Dongchen obviously didn't expect that his cold-faced prince would actually ask him this question. He reached out and touched his head: "Very good."
Mu Yexiao frowned. What does "very good" mean? Isn't it obvious what he said? Is he asking if he wants Hongling to be his wife
He had never thought about this problem before, but now he has a wife and children, and after Qian Jiujiu's reminder, he also feels that the loyal guards around him are getting old.
It just so happens that the maidservants around the princess are of the right age, so they can be paired up as many times as they want. But Dongchen doesn't seem to have figured it out, right? Mu Yexiao couldn't help but feel a little sad.
How come such a grown man doesn't want a wife
Dongchen was still looking at Mu Yexiao looking at him blankly, his expression changing over and over again, but he couldn't understand what the prince was thinking? Mu Yexiao waved his hand.
"Forget it, go ahead."
Dongchen then withdrew and found Hongling: "Aren't you going to find Xiaoman? Why don't you leave quickly?"
He urged Hongling to leave quickly, but he was wondering in his heart. When the prince asked him what kind of girl Hongling was, Dongchen began to observe her carefully.
Hongling didn't become a breathtaking beauty, but a fresh and innocent girl, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
After looking at her like this, Hongling naturally discovered it and looked at Dongchen strangely. She didn't know why Dongchen looked at her so strangely because of the way he looked at her before.
The atmosphere along the way was a bit strange. Hongling wondered if there was something wrong with her. She looked at her clothes several times while carrying Dongchen on her back.
But he found that they were all fine. Dongchen saw Hongling's appearance and thought she was still very cute. Because they were riding horses, they reached the mountain before it got dark.
A simple door was made at the entrance of the cave. Hongyue and Xiaoman lived in the cave. This door was used to prevent wild beasts from coming in. After Hongling arrived at the location, she knocked on the door.
"Hongyue, open the door."
Hongyue was a little curious when she heard Hongling's voice. She opened the door and looked at Hongling: "Sister Hongling, why are you here again? Is there anything else?"
Xiaoman also followed behind Hongyue and looked at Hongling and Dongchen with a puzzled look. Hongling looked at the two of them embarrassedly, and then locked her eyes on Xiaoman.
"Xiao Man, I came here to ask you for help. Can you make more sour plums? I think the princess likes them very much."
Xiaoman was relieved after listening to Hongling's words. The look she gave him was a little scary! Looking at Hongling, "Sister Hongling, it's not that Xiaoman doesn't want to do it."
"But Xiaoman doesn't have the raw materials right now..."
Before Xiaoman could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hongling: "Then tell me where the raw materials are and I'll get them."
Listening to Hongling's words, Xiaoman's eyes flashed with hesitation: "It's more dangerous."
"It's okay, you know I'm skilled in martial arts, I will definitely be able to get it, let's go."
Xiaoman looked at Hongling's words and then at the sky: "Are we going now?"
Hong Ling nodded: "Yes, I will make it at night. When the princess wakes up tomorrow, I can tell her the good news. She doesn't have to save food."
Xiaoman was helpless, and Hongyue was also speechless. It was already night, and Xiaoman was different from them and had no martial arts. She curled her lips and looked at Hongling.
"Hongling, does the princess know that you are coming out? And are you alone?"
In Hongyue's opinion, it was impossible for the princess to have someone prepare food for him at night, so she still asked, what if something happened
Hong Ling didn't expect Hong Yue to ask about this matter, but she still said directly: "The princess and the prince know about this matter, and I am not the only one, Master Dongchen is with me!"
Hongyue was stunned for a moment, then she saw Dongchen behind her and suddenly coughed twice: "Xiaoman, the princess gave you the responsibility to take care of the vegetables here."
"As for where the raw materials are, just tell Sister Hongling and let her find them."
Xiaoman was completely confused. She knew very well that after the princess became the princess, no one was allowed to go up the mountain. She also dug many traps on the mountain. Wouldn't it be very dangerous to let Sister Hongling go alone
So she couldn't understand Hongyue's meaning at all. Hongling was also puzzled: "Isn't it evening? Can't you leave if you don't have time?"
Hongyue smiled and said, "We are just here to watch over the night. Otherwise, who would stay here at night?"
Then he smiled and looked at Xiaoman: "Okay, Xiaoman, tell me, what are the raw materials for sour plums?"
Xiaoman touched his nose and then said, "Actually, Sister Hongyue also knows. It's the green fruit tree in the big stone forest on the top of the mountain."
Hongyue blinked her eyes and said, "Xiaoman, you are so lucky. It turns out that sour plums are made from that kind of green fruit. Hongling, you heard it too, right?"
"That stone forest is easy to find. Go pick some more quickly. I don't think there are many left. Last time I went to pick some, I found that there were not many left on the trees."
Hongling got the seat and looked at Hongyue and Xiaoman with some depression: "Then I'll leave first."
After saying that, she glanced at Dongchen. Dongchen didn't say anything, but just followed Hongling. Xiaoman watched Hongyue close the door, wondering, "Why didn't Sister Hongyue let me go?"
Hongyue touched Xiaoman's head and said, "Your brother, little brat, didn't you see that there were two of them? They are both very skilled in martial arts, so climbing a mountain at night is nothing. What about you?"
"You are just a little girl, and if you go, you will only cause trouble for them. Now, go and have a rest."
With that, Hongyue took Xiaoman to rest, leaving only a rough location for Dongchen and Hongling to find. Moreover, this route was the most dangerous one as it went up the mountain.
