"Young Master's craftsmanship is really good. It's hard to believe that this is your first time making a bracelet." The old man on the side looked at Cheng Huaiye happily: "Is it for your lover?"

Cheng Huai also stroked it gently with his fingertips, his eyes filled with soft color: "Yes, it's for my wife."

"It's so rare. You are the first man I have ever seen who makes jewelry for your lover." The old man went into the house and took out a box: "I give you this concentric bell. I wish you a happy love."

Cheng Huai also took a look and saw that it was a small golden bell, shaped like a flower, with two bells, which sounded crisp and sweet.

He took it and found that it was good to put it on the bracelet. He gave a rare thank you, and the old man quickly smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have to be so polite.

It gets dark early in winter, so Cheng Huai returned to the house at midnight.

He was wearing a dark cloak and had a tall and straight figure. His black boots stepped on the white snow on the ground, leaving a series of shallow footprints.

When he came back, the snow was still falling, and a few flakes of snow fell on his black hair. When he walked into the warm house, it turned into water and evaporated instantly.

Seeing Mu Qing, he turned around and went to the study room first as he was looking for Xu Anan.

"Master, are your injuries okay?" Mu Qing asked hurriedly after closing the door.

Cheng Huai also took off his cloak, revealing a brocade garment of the same color. He asked quietly: "How is the situation in the capital?"

"Since you disappeared, His Highness Prince An's ambitions have been revealed. He makes excuses every day to appease the ministers, but in fact he is trying to win people's hearts before you go back. His subordinates can only hide your whereabouts from being discovered. And then secretly arrange,

When you return to the capital this time, you will be able to eliminate the scourge of His Highness Prince An."

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Huaiye's face and said slowly: "Master, the Imperial Master is back... Speaking of which, the reason why you can stay out for so long is because the Imperial Master controls the government. He said

...I want you to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Cheng Huai also pursed his lips tightly. Imperial Master Bai Songhua was his master and the one who saved him from the fire after his mother passed away.

It's just that people who are supposed to be traveling abroad come back to Beijing so quickly.

According to Bai Songhua's plan, he won't come back until he travels for three to five years.

This was completely unexpected by Cheng Huai. Bai Songhua's return completely disrupted his plan. He originally wanted to call Bai Songhua back after getting rid of Xu Kangwen, so that things between him and Xu An'an could be settled.

Much smoother.

Unexpectedly, he came to Beijing in advance, so he probably knew about the matter between him and Xu Anan.

Cheng Huai's face also turned colder inch by inch.

Bai Songhua hated the Xu family even more than he did. The reason why he devoted everything to him was because he had only one wish, which was to have him kill the entire Xu family with his own hands.

"Who sent him the message?" Cheng Huai's voice was hard to distinguish between joy and anger.

Mu Qing shook his head: "I don't know, master, what should we do now? Do we want to go back? And the eldest princess can't eat every day since you disappeared, and she has lost a lot of weight."

Cheng Huai also lowered his eyelashes and said softly: "If you don't reply, I promised her that I will spend the Lantern Festival with her here. You can send a letter back to Qingqiu later to tell her that we are safe."

"yes."

Mu Qing retreated and sighed melancholy. His master and Concubine Ming would probably feel uncomfortable when the Imperial Master came back.

He was speechless. Who could do this to his master because he didn't like him? His master's martial arts were all taught by the emperor's master. Mu Qing was a little worried. When the time came, his master was forced to choose one of the two.

, what should I do if I can’t defeat the Imperial Master?

Cheng Huai also sat on the chair and thought for a moment, then put the matter behind him. His plan was about to change slightly.

Then he stood up and walked towards the main room.

Stepping into the threshold, I saw Xu Anan seriously learning embroidery from Mother Jiang. The embroidery stretcher on her hand had already embroidered a shape.

Mother Jiang watched him come in with sharp eyes, and stood up quickly: "Sir, you are back."

Xu Anan also raised his head and waved happily: "Come and see how the rabbit I embroidered is doing."

Cheng Huai's eyes also fell on her so-called "rabbit", and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Under Xu Anan's expectant gaze, he looked away without conscience: "Not bad..."

Xu Anan looked at her masterpiece with joy: "Shall I give you this rabbit? I've been embroidering it for half a month."

Cheng Huai also looked at the different-looking "rabbit" and refused without even thinking: "I don't want it, I don't like rabbits."

Mother Jiang: "..."

Do you have any emotional intelligence? What if this makes Xu Anan sad? She was about to say something when Xu Anan nodded in understanding: "Okay."

She said enthusiastically: "Then I will embroider a mandarin duck for you."

Then he pulled out the rabbit piece and threw it aside, and humbly asked Mother Jiang how to embroider the mandarin duck.

Mother Jiang: "..."

This torture is endless, right?

She originally thought that the rabbit was the end of Xu An'an's embroidery skills, but because of Cheng Huaiye's refusal, she was forced to teach mandarin duck embroidery.

Cheng Huai also looked at her helplessly, and then looked at the handkerchief abandoned by Xu Anan on the table.

This rabbit is the ugliest one Cheng Huai has ever seen, and even people believe it if they say it is a dog.

On the black brocade handkerchief, a "rabbit" holding a crooked yellow moon is somewhat conspicuous.

He stared down at it for a moment, then stuffed it into his arms.

*

Cheng Huai didn't wait for Xu Anan to embroider the mandarin ducks because she went on strike. She may have realized that she didn't have the talent, so she gave up and started looking for a skill that suited her.

Finally, I found that with her strength, she was quite suitable for carrying bricks for others.

She can't do delicate work, but she can do hard work.

Wenluo was very good at handiwork. She embroidered a handkerchief with the word "an" on it for Xu Anan, and also embroidered a vivid purple kite flower.

Xu Anan fell in love with Wenluo at the first sight. She treated Wenluo like a biological sister and took her with her wherever she went.

Wen Deng's face was sullen, looking at Wen Luo's shy and rosy face, she looked at Xu An'an with a shy and shy look, but also with an unnoticeable excitement.

He was quite speechless.

He worked so hard to make Wen Luo smile, but in the end Xu Anan could get Wen Luo's attention without doing anything. He was so depressed, so he looked at Cheng Huaiye: "Cousin, can you take your cousin out to play?

?Just stay away from my sister!"

Cheng Huai also glanced at him lightly. If he hadn't known that Xu Anan liked him, he would have thought that she had been seduced by a woman.

He took a deep breath, feeling extremely irritated.

Originally, it was okay to have a lot of men as his love rivals, but now he also has to guard against women.

He said with a cold face: "Take Wenluo away quickly. If it's too late, you two will get out of here."

Wen Deng blinked innocently: "Okay."

Then Wenluo was taken away without any explanation.

Xu Anan still wanted to follow Wen Luo, but Cheng Huai also stopped him: "Where else do you want to go?"

Xu Anan looked back at him, then quickly looked at Wen Luo's disappearing back, and looked away reluctantly. She hadn't had enough fun yet.

Cheng Huai also had a dark face and gritted his teeth: "If you are so reluctant to let her go, why don't you sleep with her at night."

Xu Anan's eyes lit up and she looked expectant: "Is it okay?"
