Princess Leyang was suddenly thrown out of the carriage. Seeing this, Zhao Ke rushed towards her, hugged her and rolled her several times on the ground before stopping.
Princess Leyang's beauty turned pale, and she pressed on Zhao Ke, their noses almost touching.
Looking at Zhao Ke's bronzed skin and handsome facial features, Princess Leyang's face turned red.
She saw clearly just now that when the carriage rushed towards the child, it was him who swooped out to save the child, and now it was him who desperately saved herself. She didn't know how to do anything, and was thrown out like that.
She would have been seriously injured on the bluestone floor, but he saved her.
Zhao Ke didn't know who the woman in his arms was. He just felt that she was extremely beautiful and stunning. Such an ambiguous posture made his face feel a little hot.
"Is the girl okay? Are you injured?" Zhao Ke asked with concern on his face.
"It's okay~~" Princess Leyang's heart was beating fast. It was the first time she had such close contact with a strange man.
As he spoke, he was about to get up, but he was a little frightened. As soon as he raised his body, his arms softened and he suddenly pressed down on Zhao Ke. His lips touched one place, and both of them were stunned.
"You are so bold and unruly, how dare you offend Her Royal Highness, don't you want your life?" The incident happened suddenly, and there were many people watching. Princess Leyang's followers rushed over at this time, pointing their swords at Zhao Ke.
When Zhao Key heard that it was Princess Leyang, he was shocked and quickly took his hands off her waist.
"Take the sword away, he saved me." Princess Leyang was helped up from the ground.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The guard quickly put away his sword and stepped aside.
"I don't know that this is Your Highness the Princess. Please forgive me for any offence." Zhao Ke hurriedly knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
"Young Master, please wake up. You saved me just now." Wei Jinyan thanked her sincerely, then looked at Zhao Ke with a blushing face, "Which young master is this from? Someone will send you a thank you gift soon~~"
"Zhao Ke, a commoner, has met Princess Leyang." Zhao Ke never dreamed that the person he had just rescued was actually Princess Leyang. He said sincerely: "It's a small effort, your highness, don't take it to heart."
At this time, someone next to me said: "Master Zhao is the concubine of the family of our richest man, Zhao Yuan, in Lingzhou."
Princess Leyang pursed her lips and smiled, "I, Wei Jinyan, have written down Mr. Zhao's life-saving grace. See you later." After saying that, she left surrounded by everyone.
Governor Ding had already made preparations. The Bishui Pavilion next to Qingyun Courtyard had been neatly tidied up, bedding, curtains and other items had all been replaced with new ones, and the fragrance in the room was flowing.
After a tiring journey, Princess Leyang went into the Bishui Pavilion to freshen up, then lay down on the bed to rest.
Zhao Ke's ancient tung-colored handsome face couldn't help but appear in his mind, and his hand couldn't help but reach out to his red lips, where the burning breath of the man seemed to still linger.
Her thoughts were extremely confused. Prince Xia Yan of Da Qi was just an embroidered pillow with no responsibilities and nothing to show for her. She had to withdraw from this marriage!
If her marriage is canceled, can she find a consort that she likes?
After thinking about it, Princess Leyang fell asleep.
Xingsheng Street in the north of Lingzhou City is a street worthy of the name of the rich. The governor's office is here, and the Zhao family, the richest man in Lingzhou, is also here. Both sides of the avenue are lined with deep residences and compounds of wealthy families.
In the Zhao Mansion, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Gaoyi, was walking in the garden with the short and fat Zhou Yuchu, chatting while walking.
"Has Governor Ding sent out the invitation to participate in the chef competition? Has the big boss of Tianxia Trading Company accepted it?" Zhou Yuchu asked unhurriedly. He was originally from Lingzhou and had been in charge of the royal kitchen in the palace for many years. The first two Yue felt unwell and left the palace and returned to Lingzhou, where she was invited by Zhao Gaoyi to sit in the Zuixian Pavilion.
After Zhou Yuchu thoroughly studied the dishes that Zhao Mo stole from Shen Yuyu, he also developed a few new dishes, which made Zuixianlou's business boom. It can be said that he made a lot of money from his mouth.
"Of course I accept it." Zhao Gaoyi replied proudly, "Brother Lao Zhou will trample her under his feet in the chef competition! She will have no face to be the boss of this world trading company."
"That's for sure." Zhou Yuchu looked relaxed and determined to win, and then said scornfully, "A teenage girl with yellow hair~~ I eat more salt than she eats rice, Brother Zhao, don't worry. "
"That's good." The two of them were walking when they saw several young ladies from the second and third bedrooms of the Zhao family arguing and fighting over something, as if they were about to start a fight.
Zhao Gaoyi hurriedly walked over and shouted: "What are you robbing? Are you so ignorant of humility?"
The youngest boy, who was five or six years old, came over crying, "Uncle, uncle, my brothers and sisters are taking my cakes, woo woo woo~"
"What kind of cakes are you grabbing like this? Have you never eaten them? Return them to your brother quickly."
"Yes, uncle." The other children had no choice but to spread out the cakes in their hands.
"Sigh~~ This pastry is quite exquisite." Zhou Yuchu was attracted by a piece of peach blossom cake, "It takes some effort to make the pastry so bright and colorful."
As he spoke, he took the piece of peach blossom cake and looked at it, then put it under his nose and smelled it, "Not only is the appearance as lifelike as a peach blossom, but the fragrance of the peach blossom is also retained. I just don't know how it tastes. Try it." He said as he opened his mouth and took a bite.
After finishing a piece of peach blossom cake, Zhou Yuchu's eyes changed, and he tasted several cakes in other children's hands.
"I can't believe that there is such an outstanding pastry chef in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Lingzhou City." Zhou Yuchu kept nodding and praising him.
"Really?" Zhao Gaoyi was doubtful. He had never been to any teahouse in Lingzhou City. But there was no delicious pastry in any of them. He reached out and took a piece, took a bite and asked.
"Where did you get this pastry?" Zhao Gaoyi stared at the children with burning eyes.
The older children shook their heads, and the younger boy said: "I don't know, I snatched it from Er Gouzi~~"
Ergouzi's milk occasionally brought vegetables to the Zhao family. When Zhao Gaoyi found her and inquired, he learned that her wife was the pastry chef of Fulai pastry shop, and that's where the pastries came from.
"Fu Lai Pastry Shop? The pastries they make have such a taste?" Zhao Gaoyi looked incredulous. This was an inconspicuous pastry shop. He had never even heard of it.
After being stunned for a moment, his face was filled with excitement, "If our teahouse could supply such delicious pastries, wouldn't the business be as hot as that of the restaurant? Let's go and have a look." I thought, no matter how much it costs, I must win it. This pastry shop and tea house will also be monopolized by the Zhao family, and the business will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gaoyi hurriedly walked out of the house with Zhou Yuchu, and met Zhao Mo on the way. Zhao Mo didn't know who was running Fulai Pastry, so he felt strange, so he followed him.
