Chapter 227 This is the first time I have eaten candied haws
Concubine Xian's words reached Wei Jiusi's heart, and she thought of Xie Shuangge and Chu Wuhen again, and sent them invitations by the way, since they want to get together, it's better for everyone to be together.

After Xie Shuangge received the invitation, he sent someone to ask Chu Wuhen, and when Chu Wuhen said she was going, he went.

Xie Shuangge replied to Wei Jiusi and agreed.

……

On the first day of November, the weather was already completely cold. Autumn and winter came, and the setting sun hung in the sky.

Xie Shuangge sat on the carriage and watched, half of his face was flushed red.

Sitting opposite her, Chu Wuhen couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it, and successfully harvested Xie Shuangge's eye knife.

He smiled and let go, "Princess, don't worry, I'll be there soon."

"Who said I'm in a hurry? I'm just a little happy. I haven't been out for a long time. Jindu looks a little strange."

Xie Shuangge was about to put down the heavy curtain when she glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly saw two familiar figures standing by the side of the road.

One tall and one low, wearing capes of the same color, are eating a bunch of candied haws next to each other.

Xie Shuangge suddenly felt that her teeth were a little sore.

She lay down by the window and smiled at them: "Oh, what kind of lady and son are these, they are so handsome."

Wei Jiusi raised his head in surprise, met her playful gaze, blushed suddenly, and complained in a low voice: "What are you talking about? Why don't you come down when you arrive?"

Xie Shuangge retracted, "Here we come."

The carriage stopped slowly, Chu Wuhen got down first, then held Xie Shuangge's hand, carefully supported her, and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, it's a little slippery."

It has just snowed in the past few days, and with the cold weather, it hasn't melted much. The snow is flattened when you step on it, and you can fall if you are not careful.

Xie Shuangge held onto Chu Wuhen's hand tightly, and Chu Wuhen raised his hand to wrap her waist vaguely, and only let go when she stood still.

Wei Jiusi and Gongsunye walked up to them, and they nodded their heads as a salute. It is not appropriate to reveal their identities when they are away from home.

Seeing that they were the only two of them, Xie Shuangge asked suspiciously, "Where is King Rui? Didn't he come?"

Wei Jiusi pursed his lips and smiled, a little shy.

Gongsun Ye answered for her, "Following behind, probably coming soon."

"Ah?" Xie Shuangge was puzzled.

Gongsunye explained in a low voice: "Brother Wang felt troubled by following us, so he refused to join us, so he followed from afar, with his guard by his side."

"Well, it's really annoying." Xie Shuangge glanced at the candied haws in Wei Jiusi's hand pointedly, and asked teasingly, "Is the candied haws delicious? Is it sweet? Why don't you eat half of it?"

As soon as Wei Jiusi heard it, he knew that she had seen it just now, and gave her a dull look: "Sweet or not, you can ask Mr. Chu to buy one for you, and you will know if you try it?"

Xie Shuangge raised her eyebrows, "I..."

Chu Wuhen chuckled lightly: "Does the princess want to eat? If you want to eat, go buy it."

Both Wei Jiusi and Gongsunye laughed, Xie Shuangge blushed, and quietly pinched him under the cover of his sleeve: "Don't talk."

Chu Wuhen laughed, but he still went to buy it for her.

He knew that Xie Shuangge liked to eat these sweet and sour things.

The bright red hawthorn is covered with a layer of crystal sugar, which looks like a kind of cold beauty. When you bite it, the crunchy rock sugar shatters in your mouth. The sweetness and the sour taste of the hawthorn are intertwined, which makes people appetite open.

Xie Shuangge narrowed his eyes after eating one, then stretched it out in front of Chu Wuhen with a smile on his face: "Do you want to eat it? It's delicious."

Chu Wuhen looked at the candied haws and was stunned for a moment, then he opened his lips and bit down on Xie Shuangge's hand.

Seeing him chewing the hawthorn with no expression on his face, his cheeks puffed up, Xie Shuangge couldn't help poking her, and Chu Wuhen grabbed her naughty fingers.

After swallowing, Xie Shuangge asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

Chu Wuhen smiled, "It's delicious."

Wei Jiusi watched from the side, and also fed Gongsunye one. After Gongsunye ate it, he raised his hand and stroked her head with a gentle expression.

"Actually, this is the first time I have eaten candied haws." The four stood together and waited, Chu Wuhen leaned over and said in Xie Shuangge's ear, "So it tastes like this."

Xie Shuangge was surprised: "First time? How come?"

Then she remembered that Chu Wuhen didn't live very well when he was a child, but candied haws were not expensive, and later he was a third-rank official, so couldn't he still afford candied haws?
Her eyes are so easy to understand, Chu Wuhen can understand at a glance.

He turned his head with emotion, his voice carried a bit of vicissitudes in the wind.

"I couldn't afford it when I was young, but I don't want to buy it when I grow up."

"Because I've never eaten it before, I don't know the taste, so I can't forget it. Besides, it's a bit strange for a man as big as Chen to buy this and eat it while walking."

Every sentence went straight to Xie Shuangge's heart.

She turned her head to look at Chu Wuhen, but saw that there was still a faint smile on his lips.

It seems that he just said this casually, but Xie Shuangge felt that he should still be envious. When he was very young, he saw other people's children being led by their parents, buying candied haws for them, and maybe holding them on his shoulders and carrying them on their backs. They are a happy family.

But what about him...

Xie Shuangge's eyes suddenly turned sour, and he sniffed.

"I'll buy it for you in the future. If you want to eat, we will come out to eat together."

Hearing that her voice was wrong, Chu Wuhen hurriedly turned his head and met her red rabbit-like eyes.

Chu Wuhen's heart softened, he held her hand, and coaxed in a low voice: "Why are you crying again? It's so cold, be careful to hurt your face."

"I didn't cry." Xie Shuangge raised her head and suppressed her tears.

Chu Wuhen took the candied haws and ate another one: "Now that I think about it, I didn't have one when I was young, maybe it's because God arranged it later. The ones bought by the princess are always better than the ones bought by myself."

Xie Shuangge blushed, pursed her lips and said nothing, just shook Chu Wuhen's hand.

Wei Jiusi couldn't stop laughing, and whispered to Gongsunye, "I didn't expect Master Chu to be so gentle when facing Jianing."

Gongsunye glanced at the two of them, thoughtfully, "Naturally, one should cherish the one he likes in every possible way."

"Hey—are King Rui and his guards over there?"

Xie Shuangge saw King Rui in the crowd at a glance. He was tall, wearing a purple brocade robe and a fox fur cloak, and he was dignified, standing out from the crowd.

His guard was also quite outstanding, standing together, they couldn't be more eye-catching.

Wei Jiusi nodded: "It's them!"

Gongsun Ye raised his hand and beckoned at them: "This way——"

At the same time, two people suddenly walked out of the opposite restaurant, and they heard the sound and looked over.

"Jianing, Master Chu, Jiusi?"

"coincidence."

Xie Shuangge's face froze, what a coincidence...

Wei Jiusi was surprised, "Second Emperor Brother, Third Sister, why are you here?"
