Chapter 23
Fu Min was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Pingye.

The singing and dancing sound gradually stopped, and the dancers in the center either danced or not, and stood there bewildered.

The eldest princess who was sitting at the top chatting with the wives around her followed the sound and looked over.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, the eldest princess asked with a smile.

Fu Min didn't know why Fu Pingye suddenly went crazy, facing his unfriendly gaze, Fu Min could only smile and said: "Maybe the emperor also wants to eat glutinous rice cakes."

"I'll have someone make a new plate for Brother Huang." He gestured to put the glutinous rice cake in his hand on Xie Tinglan's table.

"I want this plate alone."

Fu Pingye spoke unhurriedly, interrupting him again.

Everyone kept silent, for fear that they would be noticed and implicated.

The prince has always been volatile, he might be chatting and laughing with you one second, and suddenly change his face the next.

Many people looked at Fu Min sympathetically.

Even though Fu Min was used to pretending, he couldn't bear it at this time.

Originally, the trend this time was off track. He finally found an opportunity to get close to Xie Tinglan, but he was ruined by this guy.

Fu Min caught Fu Pingye's line of sight, and his heart trembled suddenly, and the tragic scene of being cut in the throat by his sword in the previous life inevitably floated before his eyes.

He immediately averted his gaze, took a few breaths to calm down, frowned and said: "Brother Huang, I asked someone to make this plate of glutinous rice cakes for Miss Xie. I'm afraid it's not good for Brother Huang to steal something. It was also because of my negligence that I only let people make one dish, so I will order them to make more."

Fu Pingye said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with Gu if you give orders or not. Gu wants the plate of glutinous rice cake in your hand. Bring it here."

Fu Min's fingertips pinched the white porcelain plate like a stick in his throat, and the flesh under his nails turned white with great force.

The eldest princess asked a maid to ask what happened. After listening, she frowned slightly, and looked at Fu Min's gaze with some scrutiny.

As the ultimate core of the dispute, Xie Tinglan watched the play for a long time before opening his mouth. He said to Fu Min in a warm voice: "The six princes give this glutinous rice cake to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The minister is not familiar with the six kings. I don't know where the six kings heard the rumor that I love sweets. In fact, I haven't touched sweet pastries like glutinous rice cakes for a long time."

Fu Min's heart was already blocked, but after hearing Xie Tinglan's words, he became even more blocked immediately, his face turned pale.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth resentfully. He put the glutinous rice cake in his hand on the table in front of Fu Pingye, put it down, and quickly returned to his seat.

The eldest princess didn't want to embarrass him here, and when he sat down, she ordered the musicians to continue playing, and the dancer started dancing again.

This matter seems to have come to an end, but who knows what the people sitting down drinking tea and drinking are thinking in their hearts.

No one looked at Xie Tinglan more than once, only one gaze stared at her for a long time, but it was gentle and not annoying, Xie Tinglan could still ignore it.

But after the incident just now, someone always looked at her from time to time, Xie Tinglan felt annoyed, so she found an excuse to leave the banquet and went outside to catch her breath.

Yuxiu helped her to the plum garden, the plum blossoms in the garden were fragrant, smelling it made her feel much better.

Yuxiu carefully supported Xie Tinglan, taking care not to let her step on the snow under her feet, she stopped at a place, looked around, and whispered:
"The Six Kings are so strange. How would he know that Miss can't eat almonds?"

There are too many ghosts and monsters in the back house of Xie's mansion. Since Xie Tinglan accidentally ate almonds when she was young and developed a rash and almost died, Mrs. Wei told her not to tell anyone else about it.

Xie Tinglan was very cautious, apart from Yuxiu, not even Zhong Ling and her nanny, Nanny Li, knew about this matter.

Yuxiu was very worried, "The glutinous rice cake is also Miss's favorite snack in private, and he also knows it. Could it be that someone in the courtyard loosely spread the word?"

Fortunately, there are not many people who know about it. Xie Tinglan said that he heard it from hearsay, and no one has evidence to challenge it. Few people seem to have heard about Xingren.

Otherwise, if this matter gets out, the rumors about Xie Tinglan and Fu Min will spread all over the capital.

Xie Tinglan kicked the snowdrift under his feet, looking absent-minded.

After a long time, he answered the wrong question and said: "It's hard to fill your desires."
