"Get up," Princess Jing'an nodded slightly and said, "I'm coming over today to see Princess Ning. You can lead the way."
"Yes, Princess, please come in." Du Heng was busy carrying the food box and leading the way for Princess Jing'an. He stepped across the threshold, bowed his head and raised his hands to wait. He looked at the maid carrying Princess Jing'an. He also looked at Princess Jing'an's skirt and gently placed her hand on his raised arm, and then the two of them slowly crossed the two-foot-high threshold together.
The hand on his arm was slender and slender, with skin like gelatin. The nails were the most beautiful, full and shiny, and not as dazzling as those of other noble ladies. Du Heng lowered his eyelids and looked at that hand, his eyes sliding from the nails. When I reached my finger and tried to look upward, the hand had already moved away.
Du Heng was a little disappointed, as if he wanted that hand to stay on his arm for a while longer.
"Princess, please come this way." Du Heng hurriedly drove away the messy thoughts in his mind, and hurriedly led the way for Princess Jing'an.
"Your palace is unique, very different from other palaces." As soon as she entered the backyard, Princess Jing'an looked at the swing under the sycamore tree and couldn't help but curled her lips.
Du Heng followed her gaze and said hurriedly: "There is also such a swing in the palace of Princess Duanhui and Princess Duanhui, so after the wedding of the prince and princess, the prince also ordered people to set up such a swing in the palace for provision. Princess having fun.”
Princess Jing'an looked at the swing again and said nothing.
Ji Xiang was waiting outside the palace and saw Du Heng and others coming in. She recognized Princess Jing'an and was so busy that she came up to her and saluted Princess Jing'an: "I have met Princess Jing'an. I would like to greet Princess Jin'an!"
"Get up quickly," Princess Jing'an said with a blessing, and asked, "I have time to come over and see the princess today. Is it convenient for the princess to see me now?"
"The princess is taking a nap, but she will wake up soon. Princess, please go to the side hall to have a cup of tea first. The slave will go in and report." Ji Xiang said.
"If the princess is still asleep, there is no need to wake her up in a hurry. I have nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if I wait for a while." Princess Jing'an said gently.
"Yes," Ji Xiang said, turning to Du Heng, "Du Heng, take the princess to the side hall to rest first."
"Okay, this is the jelly fruit that the princess wants to eat. You can bring it in for the princess." Du Heng nodded, handed the food box to Ji Xiang, and bowed to lead Princess Jing'an to the side hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Side hall.
Du Heng personally cooked a pot of rose Pu'er tea and brought it to Princess Jing'an. This tea is most suitable for women to drink in winter. Speaking of it, this is the first time he has cooked tea for a woman.
Princess Jing'an had never drunk rose Pu'er tea before. Looking at the dark red tea, she was a little afraid to drink it. She just took a sip, but the tea was warm, sweet and not astringent at all as soon as she took her mouth. She took another sip, and then said to Du Heng with a smile: "Your tea-making skills are quite good. I don't like Pu'er, but the Pu'er you cooked is not astringent, and the taste is much lighter than ordinary tea. , and the floral fragrance is just right, very good. ”
"The princess is so complimentary," Du Heng said hurriedly, and smiled as he said, "My subordinate has stayed in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years and is used to drinking Pu'er, so he has some experience in cooking Pu'er, but if If it were any other kind of tea, I would be completely clueless and incompetent."
