Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 179

The winter is quiet, and even the snowflakes are white and clean.

When Tong Jia Xili looked out the window of the side hall, he could see several magnolia trees.These trees were all planted one by one by Yinzhen's orders.

Now the magnolia has not yet bloomed, and the branches look bare.Magnolia is delicate and delicate, and I'm afraid they are hiding for the winter at this time of year.

Compared with this, the plum blossom tree next to the magnolia tree has already revealed small flower buds, just waiting for the time to come, and it can be ready to bud.

Tao Yao came in from outside the house, holding a hot object in her hands, she was shaking it on both hands, her hands were burned a little red, but she just refused to let go.

"Garge, Gege."

As soon as she entered the door, Taoyao couldn't help shouting happily: "There are sweet potatoes roasted in the small kitchen, and this servant specially brought them here for you to taste."

I don't know if it was last year or the year before, but the empress once set up a stove in Chengqian Palace to make roasted sweet potatoes.

After the precedent of that time, there is now a habit of eating roasted sweet potatoes in Chengqian Palace.Holding a warm thing in your hand in winter, it still tastes sweet.

Such a beautiful thing, when you are shivering and runny nose in the cold, it really makes people feel extra happy.

"Come here and give me a taste?"

Tong Jia Xili was naturally overjoyed, so she took the roasted sweet potato from Taoyao's hand.It was so hot that Tong Jia Xili couldn't help blowing it all the time.

"Hu-hu-"

After a while, the roasted sweet potatoes finally became less hot, and Tong Jiaxi began to eat the pears slowly.

The sweet smell of sweet potatoes spread throughout the house at this moment.Taoyao watched Tong Jia Xi pears eating deliciously, the corners of her mouth almost drool.

Tong Jia took a few bites of the pear and tore off the skin of the sweet potato, just in time to see Taoyao's greedy look.

"If you want to eat, just go and get it. What are you doing here guarding me?" Tong Jia Xili thought it was funny, so she sent Taoyao out.

Taoyao was liberated all of a sudden, burst into laughter instantly, and went out bouncing around.

After a while, I don't know if Taoyao was immersed in the joy of eating roasted sweet potatoes, but Caiwei was the one who came back first.

Caiwei also had a smile on her face, as if she had also eaten roasted sweet potatoes and was coming back from the small kitchen.

"As soon as the slave girl came back, she could smell the aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes, and she was really hungry."

Caiwei rubbed her somewhat cold hands, and continued: "But seeing Gege so happy, I have another good thing, should I tell Gege?"

"What is it?"

Tong Jia Xili answered vaguely, and she didn't have time to lift her eyelids.

This baked sweet potato, is so delicious!The sweet potatoes inside are soft, and most importantly, they are very sweet!
"Didn't Ge Ge notice the strangeness in the Crown Princess before, and asked the servant to find a way to send a message back to the house and tell Mr. Tong to investigate this matter?"

Having said that, Tong Jia Xili immediately raised her head.

Eating is important, but this matter is even more important!
"What did Mafa say?" Tong Jia Xili asked: "Does the crown prince really have contacts with those envoys and officials in private?"

Sure enough, Caiwei nodded.

It turned out that the prince himself had no contact with those people.It's just that the tribute from Fanbang has always been to please everyone, so naturally the prince's place is indispensable.

But the crown prince was cautious and refused to accept it directly, so the messenger from Persia simply changed his way and built a bridge through one of the crown prince's cousins ​​to deliver the things to the crown princess.

Rubies are precious, and even though the Crown Princess knew it was rare and really carried it around to show off, she still couldn't resist wearing it at such a grand banquet as the celebration banquet.

Even if the crown prince doesn't want to look at her a few more times, it would be great to let others know how beautiful she is.

Especially—to let Da Fujin, who has been secretly competing with her, know that there is a difference between them.This can be seen in the jewelry alone.

This matter seems to be very simple.It's just that the crown princess likes treasures and took Persian things, so it doesn't seem to be the crown prince's business.

But from another perspective, this is not the case in the eyes of others.

The prince and the princess are originally husband and wife.So for others, even if the crown prince did not ask her to do what the crown princess did, at least the crown prince acquiesced.

In this way, it is really possible to involve the prince's dealings with those envoys and courtiers.

It is not an exaggeration for a prince of a country to have his own team, and Lord Kangxi has always let the prince train his subordinates.

But that's all...

How much does it mean to communicate with foreign envoys?
As soon as this matter broke out through Tong Guowei's subordinates, the whole Yuqing Palace was in chaos.The staff came and went to discuss countermeasures, and the prince was also very busy.

After hearing the news, Tong Jia Xili let out a sigh of relief.

"The prince is so shrewd, but he never thought that a princess who he didn't care about would make such a big mess for him."

Tong Jia Xili smiled, and slowly ate the sweet potato in his hand.Throwing the skin aside, took another sip of water.

"Now that it's like this, he doesn't have any other thoughts of provocation." Tong Jia Xili sat on the imperial concubine chair, shrank her head back, and lay down like Ge You paralyzed, very leisurely and comfortable.

"Isn't it?"

Caiwei said: "His Royal Highness is deeply thoughtful, and it is always unpredictable. Even with Mr. Tong, I always feel that coming with His Royal Highness is like punching cotton, which makes people uncomfortable."

"Those things His Royal Highness did before, now he finally knows what it means to suffer the consequences."

These words are very pleasing to the ear.

Tong Jia Xili nodded and continued to exhort: "The prince, you must not relax. Of course, you must be careful when you pay attention to the movement over there, and don't be called a spy."

"Yes."

Caiwei agreed, and then changed the topic to a more relaxed place, and said to Tong Jia Xili: "The empress sent Aunt Dongyun over before, saying that she is going to set up a pot to cook mutton in the past few days."

"Ge Ge has to think about it, what dishes do you want to eat, so that you can tell the servants, and let the servants go to the small kitchen to prepare for you first."

!

Shabu mutton!
Tong Jia Xili's eyes flashed golden light in an instant.The composure he had before when he was plotting against the prince suddenly disappeared, and now he looks like a foodie.

"Mutton is of course necessary. I like leaner meat. I also prepare more beef. I like meat."

"Also, lotus root is also excellent for blanching vegetables."

"... "

Tong Jia Xili babbled, and just listed all the dishes she likes.Looking forward to the day when we eat mutton mutton.

Ok…

Yinzhen was also there, and she also specifically mentioned the dishes that Yinzhen likes to eat.

However, it seems that the dishes she likes, Yinzhen likes to eat, right?
Xi Li: Yinzhen, I want to eat hot pot.

Yinzhen: Eat whatever you want.

Xi Li: Well, what kind of food do you like to eat?
Yinzhen: I like to eat you.

Xi Li:? ? ?Seriously!
Yinzhen: Hmm... Seriously eat you.

Xi Li: ...

　Oops, it made me hungry, good night, good night.
