Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 123
Gu Qingxin knew that this idiot must have waited at her door without going back to her own residence.She was going to attend the New Year's Eve dinner in the palace today, and she also wanted to enjoy the fireworks. If she hadn't left early, she wouldn't have stood here and waited!
Gu Qingxin was really angry and anxious!How can there be such a dull person? Sure enough, you can't expect too much.

"Little... Your Highness, I'm back." Xu Mu's right hand tightly squeezed the paper bag in his hand. It should have been hot inside, but now, it's probably cold.

"Well, why don't you stay outside the palace for a while, today is the time for reunion, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow."

"I, I can't leave my post without authorization." Xu Mu secretly put his right hand behind his back and said sullenly.

"This is allowed by the princess, it's not considered desertion without authorization." Gu Qing has sharp eyes, and immediately noticed his movements, what he was holding, and dodging!
Gu Qingxin smiled and approached step by step——

The fireworks feast is still going on, and the square inch of the palace blooms into a beautiful city, full of flowers and unparalleled splendor, but behind her, it becomes the background of everything.

In the flashes of light, Xu Mu could only see the smile of the person in front of him, which was more beautiful than any flower he had ever seen, approaching her step by step, approaching——

His breathing stopped immediately, and his heartbeat also lost its frequency. Xu Mu was stunned and stunned, not knowing how to react, as if everything in front of him was just a dream in one breath.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Qingxin was in front of him, three steps away from him, stood still, stretched out her hand, and said in a firm tone, not allowing the slightest rejection, "Show me what you are holding in your hand!"

Those white and tender hands are only a little bigger than those fleshy hands when I was a child, but they are more slender and indescribably beautiful, and the smile of the person in front of me seems to coincide with my memory, the same scene, with a smile The caring little girl stretched out her hand to him sweetly, "Brother Wood, what are you hiding, why don't you show me!"

"Little, little star..." Xu Mu murmured, and unconsciously handed the small paper bag hidden behind his back to Gu Qingxin's hand.

This is a subconscious action, everything is so familiar, making him seem to have returned to the past.

Gu Qingxin took it, it was packed in a paper bag, the outside felt a bit warm, and it was still a little soft, what could it be?
Curiously, she opened the paper bag, and a round pancake-shaped food appeared in front of her.

This is, what cake?How does she feel, as if she has seen it somewhere?But I can't remember it for a while.

"What is this?" I thought in my heart, and said it out of my mouth.

This sound also successfully pulled Xu Mu's mind back, only to realize that he had already handed over the cold paper bag!Immediately annoyed.

Today is the last day of the year, he went back to have a meal with Uncle Tie, and Uncle Tie made him his favorite scallion pancakes.By coincidence, he actually asked Tie Bo to make a few more, then packed them in paper bags, put them on his chest excitedly to keep warm, and rode quickly to the palace.

Little Xingxing used to like to eat scallion pancakes the most!Xu Mu, who only had such a thought in his mind, went to the Palace of Love with impulsiveness, but unfortunately it was nothing, except for a few little maids, Her Royal Highness and her personal maids were not there!
The fireworks in the sky sounded, he patted his head, how could he forget that all the masters of the palace are going to attend the New Year's Eve reunion banquet today, why is Her Highness the Princess here?
Moreover, the imperial dining room in the palace can cook so many delicacies from mountains and seas, so the noble princess should get the best food and accommodation.Then what is he holding in his hand, such a cheap and simple scallion pancake, would she care about it?

How could he have forgotten that this is the noble little princess, not the little star who used to play with him all over the mountains and plains!
So he stood there in a daze until Her Royal Highness came back so soon!However, the scallion pancake was still cold, so he wanted to hide it behind his back, not wanting to be seen by the princess, and handed it out in a strange way.

"Yes... yes," Xu Mu was always stammering under the watchful eyes of the princess, and finally summoned up his courage to say, "It's scallion pancakes, made by Uncle Tie, and they were still hot at first, but now... cold."

After finishing speaking, he was a little dejected, ready to accept the next fate.

"It turned out to be scallion pancakes. It seems that ordinary people often eat them. It seems good to have a change after eating too much palace food." Gu Qingxin seemed to be very curious, staring at the small paper bag. Before Mu Fang could stop the wrapped things, she stretched out her hand and took out a piece.

As soon as the name is heard, it should be something relatively oily, and Mu Fang's own family can cook a common food.It's all vulgar food made by ordinary people, how can it enter the princess's mouth?

Mu Fang wanted to stop it but it was too late. She didn't despise this thing, but some folk mess. What if Her Royal Highness eats up her stomach?And it seems that it has cooled down a bit. If Sister Xiangsi knows that she didn't stop her, she will be miserable!

"His Royal Highness..." Mu Fang was about to say something, but was forced back by Gu Qingxin's eyes, signaling her not to continue speaking. The master's order is more important than anything else, and Mu Fang immediately retreated.

"General Xu, is this the food you usually like to eat? It's been a long time since the princess has tasted it, otherwise, you can treat it as a gift to me, okay?"

Xu Mu saw that she didn't dislike her, and seemed to be very interested. He let go of his heart, and the nervousness and anxiety of being at a loss also faded away. He knew that Little Xingxing is still a little Xingxing. No matter how her identity changes, she will always be her. Look, don't everyone like to eat scallion pancakes the same way?

"Of course, of course you can. Originally, I wanted to bring food to His Highness. I am very happy that His Highness has not given up." Originally, I wanted to ask her if she had remembered the story when she was a child. Swallowed.

At this moment, it was finally Mu Fang's turn to play, and she took two steps forward, "Your Highness, if you really like it, then you have to warm it up before eating, otherwise you may feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

He said it was for Gu Qingxin to listen to, but it was Xu Mu who really listened to it. He was annoyed at himself for a while. He was overjoyed by the process of His Royal Highness liking scallion pancakes just now, and even forgot to put the scallion pancakes for too long. It's cold now.Her Royal Highness has never eaten a little bit of bitterness since she was a child, and Jiao Didi's body must not be able to bear such oily food.

Now it is regret and self-blame.

Gu Qingxin nodded, and put the paper bag in Mu Fang's hand, "Thank you General Xu for your kindness, the princess will remember it."

After Xu Mu went back, he was still a little worried. He had a faint feeling that it was because of him that Her Highness the Princess was so kind to her.Thinking of it always warms my heart, and I knew that Little Xingxing must have not forgotten me, but now the status is so different that it is hard to say it out loud.

When I got home, I still felt wrong.Then he flew out using lightness kung fu, and stopped the little maid who was taking it to the kitchen to warm up on the way. Just now he saw Mu Fang handing over the bag of scallion pancakes to the little maid to take to the kitchen.

"This stuff is too greasy. If His Highness eats it, he will feel uncomfortable. Just leave it to me. If there is any problem, just say that I took it away."

Before the maid could answer, Xu Mu took the paper bag from her hand with lightning speed.When she came to her senses, her hands were empty, and General Xu was gone.

The things disappeared, and the assigned task was not done well, the little palace lady hurriedly came to report this matter to Mu Fang.

Said that General Xu took back the bag of things, so she was empty-handed.Just when Mu Fang didn't know what to do, Gu Qingxin inside made a voice, "It's okay, tell her to go down."

After the little maid left, Mu Fang walked in with a puzzled face, "Master, that General Xu, why is he behaving so strangely? Didn't you say that it was meant to be given to the master, why did you take it back halfway? It's really unpredictable. "

Gu Qingxin immediately understood the cause and effect, "If you want to talk about the reason, it's not what you said that made him do this!"

"What did the servant girl say?"

"Think about it yourself! It would be too stupid for the master to say this." Gu Qingxin smiled.

When I saw the scallion pancakes in the paper bag, some images kept coming in my mind.That's why she thanked Xu Mu, because she felt the sincerity contained in that cheap scallion pancake.

Before they were five years old, they lived in a village. At that time, Aunt Jing took her and Uncle Tie took Xu Mu. The two children always played together.Aunt Jing is best at making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and Uncle Tie can make scallion pancakes, so the two children always eat them alternately, so osmanthus cakes and scallion pancakes were the only snacks and favorite foods of the two children at that time.

Some things in the memory will stay forever, even for a lifetime, maybe not the specific things, but the scene and the person at that time.

Brother Mumu has never forgotten Little Xingxing!

From sweet-scented osmanthus cake to scallion pancake, it turns out that I have always kept it in my heart.
