The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 221

"I'm the one who wants to come." She lowered her voice and said slowly, she was very curious why two batches of assassins were caught in the past few days, and the palace was panicked.

Suddenly, Nangong Zheng's eyes sank, and he suddenly said a word.

"Don't look." The generous big palm pressed her small head, and the familiar smell and warm temperature came continuously.

Even though they couldn't see it, the shrill screams continued to come.She clung to him, and only after the screams faded away did she slowly raise her little head, with lingering fear still lingering on Fen's face.

Her clear eyes narrowed, but she remained silent and followed Nangong Zheng out of the dungeon.

Along the way, he just held her little hand tightly and hid it on the chest of his robe. He looked at her eyes quietly, and finally asked a question.

"Seeing what I did, do you want to dissuade me?"

Su Min smiled lightly, his eyes were clear. "No, I understand that you want to find out the people behind it."

Nangong Zheng nodded, the expression on his face softened a little. "Let's go."

"What to do?" Su Min felt that the place he took her to was not like her room, but more like it.garden.

She looked at his expression, although his tone was calm, but she vaguely sensed that he seemed to have prepared something on purpose, and her appearance spoiled his preparation in advance, making him somewhat less interested.

"Eat. It's autumn now. I asked the people below to prepare barbecue grills and charcoal. Didn't you say you wanted to try something new?" Nangong Zheng held her slender shoulders and looked at her small face. During the day, she became rounder than before, but he still complained a little, thinking that she should be fatter, at least in his eyes, she was always as fragile as a gust of wind would be blown away.

"You still remember..." Su Min was very happy when he heard this sentence, and his eyes became much brighter.

This man doesn't seem to care about anything, he doesn't seem to remember what the prison woman said, but he keeps everything in his heart and knows everything.

"Autumn is crisp and clear. It's a good weather. You have just returned to the palace for a few days, and you must be bored."

He saw the undisguised bright smile on her face, and he was in a good mood. When the two came to the fully prepared garden turf together, she was still staring at the scene in front of her. There were already a pair of powerful arms behind her, pressing Bend her shoulders and let her sit on one of the purple wood chairs.

She looked around and saw that the maids had already set up a charcoal fire, and saw that both of them sat down, and pieces of marinated beef and mutton were placed on the iron rack specially for barbecue, oil and water came out with "squeaks", and the aroma was tangy.

The aroma of charcoal grilling was so tempting that she couldn't help swallowing, feeling that this way of eating was fresh and interesting.

"It looks delicious."

She couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth. Maybe it was not a wrong life to meet him. Now under the care of her grandfather, her sense of taste has recovered more than half. Although it is not sensitive enough, at least she can taste the sweetness, bitterness and spicyness.

Sometimes she thinks that being able to taste these tastes is also a kind of harvest.

"Don't you think this is a barbarian method? Don't you think that barbarism is not in your appetite?"

He smiled and asked, after all, she was not a woman who lived outside the Great Wall, but a graceful personality born and bred in Jiangnan Water City. Seeing how she ate, she was really fine, and she ate very little, just like a cat.It's really hard to imagine how she looks like eating meat in large chunks.

"Now that I have tasted the taste, I want to eat everything, and you have arranged everything carefully. I am also going to have an empty stomach for dinner, so I will fill it up now." Her eyes swept across the scenery in front of her, and now Autumn is crisp and sunny, and although the leaves are beginning to fall, it still looks like a warm season.

With a smile on her pink lips, she breathed out a long breath, and her eyes showed three points of expectation. Nangong Zheng smiled and glanced at her, sandwiched two pieces of roasted beef, placed them in a porcelain bowl, and handed them to her. To Su Min.

Su Min took it and looked at the beef in her hand. The fragrant beef turned golden yellow. She was smiling, as if the small bowl was heavy enough to break her wrist.

His carefulness was beyond her expectation.

After biting a small piece, her eyes were filled with satisfaction, and she nodded and smiled at Nangong Zheng, as charming and cute as a lazy cat that has eaten fish.

The taste of the barbecue is different from the general method. Because of the addition of salt and other spices, the roast is neither too burnt nor too tender.

"I heard from the little maid that you don't touch mutton."

Taking a plate of roast mutton from the hand of the maid, he seemed to say this casually, but Su Min silently stopped what he was doing, and looked at Nangong Zheng indifferently.

Her eyes gradually turned deep, she just looked at him, silently chewing the beef in her mouth, without saying anything.

So heartwarming.

It's not like she hasn't experienced such a feeling before, but it seems that it has never been more profound than this time. It is just a word, a small matter, but it calmly penetrates into her heart.She never expected that he would be more considerate to women than a man with a gentle nature, let alone such an arrogant and arrogant man who rarely changes for women.

"When did you ask, I don't even know."

She smiled, like a good student in the school, continued to lower her head, picked up a piece of beef, and finished eating the Chinese meal as a homework.

"Of course it was behind your back."

A smile flashed across Nangong Zheng's eyes, he stood up, took the plate from her hand, and gave her another piece of roasted beef.

Why does he have to do it himself, there are two maids standing beside him at any time, he just needs to sit down.

He is not just an ordinary nobleman, he is already the king of a country.

She didn't know whether the emotion in her heart was calm, warm, or a little scared. She stood up with a smile, sniffing the tangy fragrance, smiling at the corners of her eyes and mouth.

"I don't know why, but when I'm with you, I seem to have a particularly strong appetite." Her tone seemed to be angry, self-deprecating, or complaining. She never believed that she would adapt to his presence so quickly.

In Nangong Zheng's words, he is a man full of desires all over his body, while she is more like a pool of water, calm and undisturbed, as if contented and happy, a woman who is born peaceful, has no special desires, as long as With no one to disturb her, she can live in peace and contentment.

How do a person without desire and a person with strong desire come together, and feel that without each other, life will be difficult?
It seems to be a very strange story, full of incredible.

"You should eat more."

Nangong Zheng put on a serious face, deliberately preaching, sitting beside her, staring at her profile seriously.I don't know if it was because she was too close to the charcoal fire, but her face was bright red, as charming as the morning glow.

She tapped her head lightly, and the breeze blew her hair at the temples. This meal was very satisfying.It seems that not only the stomach is satisfied, but also the heart is full, and the whole body is warm.

Holding the empty plate in her hand, she sat on the sidelines and quietly watched him eat the mutton. When he finished eating, the palace maid brought a golden basin for washing hands. When washing her hands, her eyes accidentally met his. , the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

Then, he took her hand and walked together in the huge back garden at dusk.

They walked a long way that night, so long that she felt that she would never forget this evening and night in her whole life.

It's just that she never thought that happiness would end so quickly and so unexpectedly.

After five days.

After receiving the invitation from Mr. Ma, Su Min came to Ma's residence as usual, followed the butler to the side hall of Ma's house, and saw that Mr. Ma was already sitting in the middle, with a table of delicious dishes in front of him.

"Didn't you agree to meet at the restaurant? Old man, you are really fickle."

Su Min sat in her seat and looked at the smiling Master Ma, somewhat feeling that he was a little abnormal today.

As if, something good happened.

"The dishes in the restaurant are not as good as those made by my chef. If you don't believe me, Ms. Su, try it. It must be delicious. I guarantee that except for the royal chef, there is no other family that can compare with our Ma's." Master Ma said Full of confidence, he signaled Su Min to eat more food, and his attitude was much more familiar than before.

Su Min smiled faintly, and said softly, reminding. "I saw it last time. Didn't the old man entertain me once?"

Master Ma chuckled and responded heartily. "Oh, yes, my memory is no better than Miss Su's. I'm really forgetful. I'm laughing at you."

"No matter how I look at it, I feel that the old man is in a good mood today. I wonder if I read it wrong." Su Min carefully observed the changes in Master Ma's face, and asked curiously with some doubts.

"This man is in good spirits on happy occasions, of course he is happy, butler, bring the things." Master Ma waved at the butler, his expression even more joyful.

"This is." Su Min looked at the wooden box held by the butler, frowned slightly, and saw the moment Master Ma signaled the butler to open it, she clearly saw the stack of thick banknotes on the top.

Master Ma saw that Su Min was slightly startled, and reminded her with a smile, "It's the money from the sale of porcelain in the capital this month, and this is what Miss Su deserves."

"I didn't seek out you, old man, because I was greedy for money." Su Min smiled, and pushed away the exquisite lacquered wooden box, his eyes were calm and unmoved.

"I know that there will be many opportunities for our two families to cooperate in the future. Ms. Su is a smart person, and I would be happy to share with you the experience of Ma's porcelain making." It was Su Min's sincere refusal, and it didn't mean that it was too embarrassing for him to step down.

This kind of personality that knows how to advance and retreat is not like other people in the mall who are superficial and greedy for money, and do not understand benevolence and righteousness, which is also what he values.

Master Ma placed the wooden box in front of Su Min himself, and took out the layer of bank notes on it, revealing its true colors. "Also, this is the golden toad I specially sent a goldsmith to make for Miss Su, just to express my heart."
