A deep and cold voice suddenly sounded behind her and Xiao Xi.
Ming Lanruo paused, stood up, and turned to look at the man who appeared behind her at some unknown time.
Cang Qiao changed into a silver robe with dark patterns on the cloud brocade, a black fox cloak, and a jade belt around her waist. Her long hair was tied casually with white jade buttons, half of which was tied behind her head and half of which was scattered behind her.
He was holding a lantern in his hand and stood quietly behind her, as if returning home on a snowy night.
She looked at him for a while, took his lantern and said with a smile, "Okay."
She guessed that he changed his clothes before coming out of the palace.
Cang Qiao looked down at Xiao Xi and suddenly stretched out her hand: "Come here."
Xiao Xi looked at him, pursed her lips, and handed him her paw: "You came really late, everyone has already eaten the New Year's Eve dinner."
Cang Qiao was startled and looked at the child she was holding.
This time, the child rarely came up and said "uncle and grandpa" to him.
Although I still didn't call him anything else, it was already a big improvement.
Cang Qiao's lips curved into a warm smile: "There are a lot of things going on in the palace. I feel sorry for Xiao Xi'er for waiting. I brought snacks from the palace."
Ming Lanruo listened to the rare peaceful conversation between father and son, with gentle eyes and a smile.
For her sake, Xiao Xi gradually began to accept Cang Qiao, which was also a good thing.
They entered the house together surrounded by people.
Chunhe followed behind and watched, thinking with a smile.
Although the eldest lady and Chitose still couldn't hold hands in front of everyone, they walked side by side like a family of three.
Entering Ming Lanruo's room, Cang Qiao saw four dishes and one soup on the table, which were steaming hot and fragrant.
He was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"
"For New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Xi said that I would wait for you to come and have another reunion dish." Ming Lanruo took off her cloak and handed it to Chun He, saying with a smile.
Cang Qiao looked at Xiao Xi, didn't the little guy say he had eaten?
But she saw him making a face at her: "I'm not waiting for you, I just wasn't hungry just now."
Seeing this, Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile: "Okay, then Xiaoxi, would you like to have dinner with me?"
Chunming and the others who were waiting at his side all left the room obediently.
Xiao Xi twisted her butt, climbed onto his special high stool, and pointed to the rosewood chair beside her solemnly: "Give me a seat, Eunuch Cang."
Cang Qiao's eyes twitched before she praised this little bastard for not being a monster, and now he's starting to do it again. Who does this bad guy look like?
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft."
I don’t know if this is true, but evil people will be punished by evil people.
But Cang Qiao reached out, held her slender palm, and whispered: "Are you happy that I was bullied?"
His hands were long, dry and warm, and he pulled her beside him and sat down.
Ming Lanruo took the jug and poured a glass of wine to him: "How dare you? It's just that the Governor didn't have a New Year's gift this year. No wonder Xiao Xi is angry."
Cang Qiao took the drink and looked at Xiao Xi: "The gift has been prepared for you, but do you want to go outside and ask Xiao Qizi?"
When Xiao Xi heard this, she didn't even bother to eat, and jumped down to the ground: "Thank you!"
He rushed outside in a hurry.
Ming Lanruo had no choice but to get up and follow her: "Slow down! Don't fall!"
But Cang Qiao grabbed her and took her to the window to sit: "Ruoruo, don't you ask about the gift I gave you?"
Ming Lanruo squinted her eyes and said warily: "What makes me cry so happy is this kind of gift, you boss can keep it for yourself!"
Cang Qiao was silent: "I am so obscene in your heart?"
Ming Lanruo: "Aren't you?"
Cang Qiao curled her lips dangerously and whispered in her ear: "This is what you asked for, so I might as well exchange it for this obscene gift."
Ming Lanruo immediately smiled: "No, you are always a humble gentleman, with a noble character that no one can match." This chapter has been completed!
