Shen Qiaochen looked at Nan Xing with all his thoughts in mind. Sensing Shen Qiaochen's gaze, Nan Xing pursed his lips.

"good."

Her voice was low, but it was clearly heard by Suzuran next to her.

So Linglan didn't let go, just took her arm and walked to the table to sit down. She turned around and picked up a piece of hibiscus cake from one of the plates and handed it over.

Nan Xing's forehead jumped, looking at Suzuran's irresistible eyes, he took it helplessly and put it into his mouth.

Originally I just wanted to try it reluctantly. As Xiao Jue's right subordinate, Nan Xing has never seen any delicacies from the mountains and seas in so many years. How special can a small piece of hibiscus cake be?

With this thought in mind, Nan Xing took a small bite and was stunned before he could swallow it.

This taste...

Nan Xing quickly raised his eyes to look at Ling Lan on the side and Shen Qiaochen not far away. Seeing that neither of them paid attention to him, he quickly stuffed the remaining hibiscus cake in his hand into his mouth.

…

It was rare to see Nan Xing showing such a helpless expression, and Shen Qiaochen also found it extremely interesting.

Giving Linglan an approving look, Shen Qiaochen also walked to the side and sat down, picking up a piece of preserved apricot and tasting it.

After finishing one piece, Suzuran handed over the soup on the side.

"Fourth girl, you'd better drink the medicine first."

Shen Qiaochen reached out and took the medicine bowl, put it to her lips and tested the temperature. She felt it was just right, so she drank it in one gulp without using a spoon.

She has been taking medicine all year round, and she has always been accustomed to the taste of this decoction.

Whether it's spicy or bitter, or even all kinds of weird flavors, she can drink it without changing her expression.

Suzuran was very surprised to see her drinking very happily.

If it weren't for the fact that the medicine was served to her right before her eyes and that it still smelled like medicine, she would have almost thought that the bowl was filled with tea.

After using the medicine, Suzulan put the medicine bowl back into the lunch box and tidied it up again, leaving only a few plates of snacks on the table.

There are all kinds of snacks on the table, all of them are exquisite and cute, which will greatly increase your appetite.

Shen Qiaochen took a look and saw that there were preserved apricots that he had eaten before, as well as common pastries such as peach cakes and hibiscus cakes. There were also some others, but Shen Qiaochen couldn't quite identify what they were.

She pointed hesitantly at a plate in front of her: "Is this... rice cake?"

The reason why Shen Qiaochen was not sure was that in addition to the fragrance of rice, she also smelled other sweet fragrances, but she couldn't quite tell what they were.

"Yes, these are indeed millet cakes." Linglan nodded and then said mysteriously:

"Miss Four, guess what's the difference between this and the millet cakes sold in shops outside."

Shen Qiaochen raised his eyebrows slightly and took another bite.

Hmm...it's sweet and soft, but not too sweet. Instead, it has a light herbal aroma.

Thinking of the apricot breasts from before, Shen Qiao suddenly had an idea.

"It's the scent of medicine."

Suzuran nodded with a smile.

"I usually study these when I have nothing to do and follow the recipes in the book. If Miss Four likes it, you can take some back later. If you want to eat it anytime, just tell me."

"Then it's troublesome for Linglan." Shen Qiaochen responded softly.

Looking at the various attractive snacks on the table, Shen Qiaochen's previous thoughts became more intense.

She raised her eyes and looked at Nan Xing, thinking that she should find an opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Ji as soon as possible.

It would be great if it works, but even if it doesn't work, this is still a direction.

Thinking of a certain miracle doctor in her previous life, she had other ideas in her mind.

…

After using the medicine and tasting every kind of dessert made from lily of the valley, Shen Qiaochen put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the teacup at hand and drank slowly.

Seeing this, Linglan roughly understood Shen Qiaochen's preferences.

Seeing that Shen Qiaochen had almost eaten, Ling Lan first carried the baggage brought by Xiao Jue to the small platform next to the screen.

When Shen Qiaochen came over, she had thoughtfully prepared hot water, and neatly placed the soap powder and face towels aside.

So Shen Qiaochen, with the help of Linglan, first took off the half-dry outer robe, then the middle coat and shoes and socks...

Shen Qiao and Shen were used to being served by Ju Bai and others, and were not quite used to other people approaching her.

Moreover, in her previous life, she had been in the cold palace for ten years. During those years, the four of them, Orange and Bai, left one by one. Even the nanny Lin, the nanny, died of a stick because she asked for medicine.

At that time, the Shen family had long been overthrown. As far as Xiao Li was concerned, Shen Qiaochen had lost the value of using her. After banishing her to the cold palace, he forgot about her.

And her good cousin, Xiao Li's new concubine Bai Xiaonian, would naturally not let go of this opportunity to humiliate her.

For a long time after that, Shen Qiaochen was the only one left in Nuo Da's cold palace.

This was naturally against the regulations, but with Bai Xiaonian's signal, it was different.

Of course, the palace people will not disobey the hot new queen for the sake of a deposed queen whose family has been wiped out.

Therefore, Shen Qiaochen can only rely on himself most of the time.

For a long time, Shen Qiaochen wandered alone in the cold palace. If the clothes got dirty, she could only wash them by herself. If there was not enough food, she could only count the hours and save food...

She was obviously the legitimate daughter of a general's family, and she grew up in fine clothes and fine food.

Just because he fell in love with Xiao Jue, his family collapsed and he no longer had anyone to rely on.

In the first days, she was also afraid.

She has been timid since she was a child, afraid of the dark, ghosts and loneliness.

But in the end, I discovered that the most terrifying thing in the world is not those illusory fantasies.

But the real human heart.

Whenever Shen Qiaochen closes his eyes, he can see the tragic scenes of the Shen family members before they die.

There was nothing she could do but suffer and struggle day and night.

It wasn't until the fire broke out in the cold palace that day that she finally found relief.

…

Smiling and stopping Ling Lan who wanted to help, Shen Qiaochen rolled up her sleeves, washed her face, and put on a brand new undergarment.

But when Shen Qiaochen had just fastened the belt of his middle coat, he heard the voice of Lily of the Valley behind him.

"Fourth girl, which outfit do you want to wear?"

"Huh?" Shen Qiaochen was a little surprised.

Shen Qiaoqi had only given him one set of men's clothes before, so Orange Bai would naturally not find another set of men's clothes to put in the car.

Therefore, there should be only one set of women's clothes in the bag Xiao Jue sent, so why would there be another set to choose from?

Shen Qiaochen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the collapse.

I saw that the heavy baggage had been opened by Lily of the Valley and spread out.

What also surprised Shen Qiaochen was that there was a smaller black baggage inside the cyan baggage.

The baggage had already been opened by Suzuran. When Suzuran reached out and took out the dark clothes inside, she almost screamed in surprise.

After taking a closer look at the clothes, Shen Qiaochen was also surprised.
