Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 80

That day, Chu Qingyan didn't know when Xiao Xu left, she only knew that those eyes had been deeply embedded in her mind.

He said that he was her reliance in the palace.

As long as he admits, she is the head of the palace, and no one dares to bully her!

So she, is this recognized?

For some unknown reason, an inexplicable joy and relief surged in her heart.

"Papa——" Suddenly, a pair of big hands appeared in front of her, clapping vigorously in front of her, which startled her.

"Daddy, don't you always go out of your way, okay?" Chu Qingyan woke up from her memories, looked at the person in front of her, and couldn't help but angrily said.

Chu's father pouted, and muttered to Chu's mother behind him, "Danniang, you see why Caicai is always in a daze and doesn't play with me!"

Chu's mother held a needle and thread in her hand, lowered her head to embroider, and smiled softly when she heard this, "Caicai has grown up and has her own concerns, just don't bother her."

Father Chu heard that the boss was unhappy, and turned to stare at his daughter, "Caicai, how do you put things in your little heart, teach daddy!"

Chu Qingyan couldn't help dripping cold sweat upon hearing this.

Since she mentioned to Xiao Xu last time that his parents should come to the mansion to play frequently, he has asked his parents to come to the palace to accompany him every day.

But I ordered my father not to bother him when he has nothing to do!
Because the day before yesterday, Dad ran to the study to look for him, and almost tore the study away!
Thinking of Xiao Xu, he couldn't help but also think of the fact that Emperor Xixuan asked him to investigate the assassins. Although Xiao Xu arrested those assassins without slipping through the net, these people were dead men, and they all committed suicide by taking poison when caught. The thread is broken.But Emperor Xixuan was dissatisfied with the result, and he gave Xiao Xu a reprimand before releasing him, so Chu Qingyan didn't have any affection for this Emperor Xixuan who had never met before.

Thinking of the assassination, Chu Qingyan couldn't help thinking of Xiao Ran. Since Xiao Ran failed to deliver pastries last time, she has been coming to the Ying Palace to report every day, and she always comes to her every time.

She was very annoying at first, but she didn't bother to perfuse him in the end.

But after getting in touch with him slowly, I also learned that this prince can be regarded as a well-known young genius in Xixuan Kingdom. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of two, could recite poems at the age of three, and compose seven-step poems at the age of five. Neighboring countries are following suit.

Chu Qingyan couldn't help admiring the fourth prince. It turns out that under this good skin, there are still real talents and learning. It's just that he is a little lacking in his usual behavior, but it's normal for the proud son of heaven to be a little arrogant.

No, it was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here soon, Chu Qingyan just thought of this person, and this person had already appeared in her room.

"Chu Qingyan, my highness is here to see you!" After a few days of getting along, Xiao Ran has already familiarized her with promoting her from a stinky girl to one with a first name.

Xiao Ran was dressed in brocade clothes, and there was a piece of jade hanging around his waist. Seeing that it shone with a light green luster under the sunlight, he could guess that it was priceless.

"What is the wind that brought you, an honored guest, in today?" Maybe it was the young man's persistent visit, coupled with his undisguised sincerity, Chu Qingyan was softened by him, and there was no perfunctory treatment of him before.

Chu's father and Chu's mother were not surprised when they saw Xiao Ran. At first, Chu's mother was a little cautious, but after seeing him a lot, she saluted him and went back to her own business.

"His Highness thinks it's mango style!" He waved his hand to the person behind him, who came up with a basket, and when he opened it, the bright yellow fruit inside was revealed.

When Chu Qingyan heard him talking about mangoes, she couldn't help swallowing subconsciously. Mangoes were everywhere in the world, and she could see them everywhere, but now in ancient times, let alone mangoes, even mango leaves she can not see.

The cloth was lifted, and there were mangoes the size of a fist, and Chu Qingyan was immediately amused, "Where did you get these from?"

Seeing her showing off her face, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly fell, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face, pretending to be indifferent, "This is the fruit of the tribute from Xifan, my Highness, look at it. It’s quite fresh, and you, a country bumpkin, probably haven’t even heard of it, so His Highness randomly brought a few here for you to try!”

The palace man carrying the basket couldn't help lowering his head when he heard the words, the fourth prince's lie was really smooth, Xifan's tribute was only a basket, and the fourth prince had to spend a lot of effort to get it from the concubine Yue. to these few.

Looking at his expression, Chu Qingyan knew that these fruits were not easy to come by. Although they were rare in ancient times, she still ate them a lot in modern times, but she was still grateful in her heart, "Thank you, Fourth Prince, but it seems that these fruits are very rare. The Fourth Prince should keep it for himself!"

"Is there any reason to take back the things my Highness sent out? Besides, there are still several baskets in my Highness's palace!" Xiao Ran said nonchalantly.

Seeing that he insisted, Chu Qingyan accepted it, and then told Xi Ning to take it down, peel it, and serve it up.

Originally, Xiao Ran wanted to show off how to eat, but he didn't think that Chu Qingyan knew better than him, not only explained in detail, but also knew how to use bamboo sticks, and was immediately frustrated.

After she finished giving orders, Xiao Ran asked suspiciously, "Have you eaten before?"

Chu Qingyan clearly sensed his lost tone and couldn't help shaking her head, "No, I just saw it in a miscellaneous book!"

"But aren't you illiterate?" Hearing her answer, Xiao Ran was obviously a little happy, but he wondered about another thing.

Chu Qingyan coughed lightly. She knew that she shouldn't have lied just to save his face. She immediately changed the subject, "It's not surprising. Some books have pictures. I just saw that the picture was different from this fruit. It’s just similar! I made a guess by mistake, by the way, you’re going out of the palace today, you’re not sneaking out again, are you?”

Although Chu Qingyan turned the topic abruptly, Xiao Ran still didn't notice it, and he said with some complacency, "No, today His Highness handed in a thesis that the Taifu is satisfied with, and the concubine mother gave me a day off."

Chu Qingyan helped Fu's forehead, so this person came to the palace for vacation?

After a while, Xining cut into pieces and put them on the table with bamboo sticks stuck on top.

Xiao Ran immediately took a piece and greeted Chu Qingyan, "Try it quickly and see if it tastes good!"

Chu Qingyan couldn't refuse his kindness, so she accepted it.

Father Chu, who was playing by the side, kept his eyes on the two of them. He snorted coldly, and he wanted to tell his son-in-law!

Chu Qingyan took a sip and thought it tasted good. It would be even better if it could be chilled. She looked up and saw Xiao Ran waiting for her evaluation. She couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, this taste is very unique, you should try it too!"

Xiao Ran immediately smiled when he heard the words, "Is there anything wrong with the things my Highness gave you!"

Seeing that the young man finally had the smile he should have at his age, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but also smiled.

However, Xiao Ran turned around and screamed, "Where's the mango?"

He came here from the palace, in order to let Chu Qingyan eat it earlier, but he hasn't eaten a bite yet, and now he doesn't even know what mango tastes like!

Chu Qingyan looked along his line of sight, the table was empty, and the mango plate was gone.

Xi Ning coughed lightly, she didn't see anything, she didn't see her in-laws take the plate away, she didn't see anything...

And the plate of mangoes was already on the way to the study.
