Chu Yunxi was also very happy when she saw the childish Princess Wantao. She especially wanted to pinch her fleshy little face, but she held it back because she thought of her identity.
"I brought you a gift."
Chu Yunxi mysteriously took out a paper bag. Princess Wantao took it and opened it:
"Mung bean cake?"
"Yeah!" Chu Yunxi was infected by Princess Wantao's happiness, and also released some of her little daughter's nature:
"Try it quickly, does it taste good?"
Princess Wantao took out a flower-shaped piece, light green and yellow in color, full of mung bean aroma, and took a small bite. It was dense in the mouth, slightly sweet but not greasy, and she narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
"There are red beans in it?" she asked in surprise.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing her eating deliciously, Chu Yunxi also felt very happy.
“It’s delicious, even better than the one made by the Royal Kitchen!”
"That's because you eat it every day and get tired of it." Chu Yunxi laughed.
"This is made by Chunhuilou, the most famous restaurant in Beijing. I thought you would like it, so I brought you some to try on the way."
"Sister Yunxi, you are so kind. No wonder the Crown Prince is so interested in you."
When Chu Yunxi heard this, she blushed slightly: "Princess, don't talk nonsense, you are so young and you don't know how to be ashamed."
Princess Wantao liked Chu Yunxi's attitude towards her very much. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and it was as natural as treating her like a younger sister.
"Sister Yunxi is grounded?" she asked playfully.
"How do you know?"
Chu Yunxi's eyes were wide open. She really didn't expect that the news about her family would spread to the palace in just one night.
"How else could I know? Of course I only found out when the prince and brother came to my place to bring in reinforcements."
Jun Lingyun? Chu Yunxi then remembered the two people who suddenly appeared to help her at the door of the house. She guessed that they were sent by Jun Lingyun, but she didn't expect that he actually worked for Princess Wantao, just for
Remove her from confinement.
"Give!"
"What?" Chu Yunxi took the small porcelain bottle handed over by Princess Wantao.
"The red ones are for healing wounds, and the white ones are for removing scars. The prince and brother said that your foot injury has not been cured yet, and I am afraid that you will leave scars."
Chu Yunxi's nose was slightly sour and she sniffed. Warmth flowed through her heart and she was a little moved. It's not like he didn't know where she had a foot injury.
When he was angry, he viciously wanted to leave his mark on her. Then he turned around and gave her scar removal medicine. After all, he was reluctant to really hurt her.
She, Chu Yunxi, was just one among all living beings. How could she be so virtuous that she could win his sincerity and treat her so kindly?
"What, are you touched?" Princess Wantao came forward with a small face.
"If you keep doing this, I won't come." Chu Yunxi pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. I got some new goodies. Let me show them to you. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
Princess Wantao was about to take Chu Yunxi to see her new baby.
"Princess, Concubine Xiao heard that Miss Chu has entered the palace and wants her to come over and have a cup of tea."
Both of them paused and frowned. Although Princess Wantao was straightforward by nature, she was not stupid. If she was really stupid, she would not have become the emperor's favorite princess under the nose of Xiao Guifei.
"Sister Yunxi, I will go with you."
She held Chu Yunxi's hand and refused to let go.
"No need, I think Concubine Xiao won't do anything to me."
After all, she entered the palace openly, and if she couldn't go back in full, Concubine Xiao would not be able to explain herself to the emperor.
"No, the prince and the emperor have handed you over to me. If you lose a hair, the prince and the emperor will not spare me."
Princess Wantao insisted, but Chu Yunxi couldn't resist her, but she was amused by her words.
"There is no such exaggeration. In His Highness's heart, the princess is naturally more important."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and went to Concubine Xiao's Feiyan Palace together.
"Wantao sends my regards to the noble concubine."
"My dearest concubine, please be safe."
Concubine Xiao smiled gently and said, "Why is Wantao here too? Come to me quickly." But she did not ask Chu Yunxi to get up.
"Your Majesty, you don't welcome Wantao?" Princess Wantao looked innocent, and no one would be more tolerant to her.
"How come? I am very happy that Wantao can come to visit me. I will come here more often in the future."
"As long as the queen doesn't mind me disturbing her purity, Wantao will come often."
Only then did she look at Chu Yunxi: "Mother, sister Yunxi is here too."
Concubine Xiao seemed to think of her just now: "Why are you so lucky? Get up quickly."
Chu Yunxi stood up straightly, trying not to lose his posture.
"Sit down, I have a new good tea. I heard that you are coming to the palace, so I invite you to try it, so as not to fall apart after not seeing each other for a few days."
Concubine Xiao spoke vaguely, but Chu Yunxi could hear her clearly. In the eyes of others, she had indeed changed in just one day.
In her previous life, she thought that Concubine Xiao also liked her, so she was very close to Concubine Xiao. Unfortunately, she was no longer the same person in her previous life.
The maid brought tea.
"You all have a taste, this Yunwu tea was just offered from Yunnan." Concubine Xiao seemed like a loving elder.
"Sure enough, the tea is really good. The fragrance is overflowing and leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth." Chu Yunxi praised.
Concubine Xiao picked up the tea cup and said leisurely:
"Good tea must be matched with a good cup. This tea cup also has different temperaments. The one with the better temperament can support your tea whether it is hot or cold. If you encounter the one with a strong temper, the tea cup will burst as soon as the tea is hot.
Good tea is also wasted. Yunxi, don't you think so?"
Chu Yunxi heard the meaning and smiled:
"My dearest concubine, I think that good tea should be hot and cold so that it can retain fragrance in your mouth. A stronger tea cup can also allow the tea to check itself. If it is hot and hurts someone, that would be bad.
, it’s very good to be restrained by a tea cup.”
She took a sip of tea and continued:
"Besides, the good-natured tea cup can hold this kind of tea and that kind of tea. It's not as interesting as the strong-tempered tea cup, which only holds one tea."
Concubine Xiao was not annoyed and said with seriousness:
"Yunxi is still small, so the idea is good. But, how can there be a cup that can only hold one tea in this world? Since you can't get it right, why not choose someone with good character."
Chu Yunxi raised her eyes:
"A teacup is used to hold several kinds of tea. People want it to hold many kinds of tea, so it has to hold many kinds of tea. If people want it to hold only one kind of tea, it can only hold one kind. Therefore, it is said that the human heart is the only one.
It is the most precious and fickle thing in the world."
"It seems that Yunxi cannot be of the same mind as me."
Concubine Xiao's face looked slightly cold.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about tea cups. Wantao's head is dizzy after hearing this. I heard an interesting story yesterday. I will tell it to the queen. How about making her happy?"
Princess Wantao intervened in time to interrupt the casual atmosphere. Concubine Xiao could not have another attack due to her presence.
The two of them finally left the Feiyan Palace. They both took a deep breath and were finally able to breathe well.
"Phew, I was really nervous just now. Come on, I haven't shown you my baby yet."
Princess Wantao happily took Chu Yunxi back to her Chaoyang Palace.
"Thank you so much for today. You helped me get out of the confinement at home and accompanied me to see Concubine Xiao. I don't know how to repay you."
Chu Yunxi is really grateful to the Eighth Princess. How can she repay the lifelong friendship?
"Actually, you don't need to thank me so much. I also have selfish motives, and it's not all for you."
"What?" Princess Wantao's words made Chu Yunxi a little confused. How could she have any selfish motives for being nice to her?
