Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 685 Intention 4
Wei Zijin looked suspiciously at the two pots of wintersweet in front of him, and really didn't understand what Xiao Heng's purpose in sending the wintersweet was at this time.

"Aside from bestowing these two pots of wintersweet, did the emperor have anything to say?" Wei Zijin asked in a deep voice.

The old housekeeper of the palace shook his head, and replied respectfully: "The father-in-law from the palace only said that the emperor saw that the princess liked plum blossoms, so he specially rewarded them, and didn't say anything else!"

In fact, he was also quite puzzled, the prince just brought the princess into the palace for the first time, how could the emperor suddenly treat the princess so favorably, and when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, he still remembered to give the princess the very precious plain wintersweet!

Puzzled, he didn't express the doubts in his heart, but turned his questioning gaze to Xiao Jingyao, and asked hesitantly, "My lord, what should I do with these two pots of wintersweet?"

Xiao Jingyao frowned slightly, looked at the two pots of wintersweet in front of him for a while, and said lightly, "Since it was specially given by the emperor, it must be kept in the mansion for a good life..."

"Yes..." The old butler nodded. Although the prince's calm tone could not hear the change of mood, he had been serving the prince by his side, and he had faintly sensed that the prince was a little unhappy!
"My lord, my concubine, are these two pots of wintersweet placed in the house or in the backyard?" the old housekeeper asked cautiously, but Xiao Jingyao didn't answer.

Wei Zijin hesitated for a moment, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, just put these two pots of wintersweet on the window sill of the prince's study!"

The old butler nodded, and ordered his servant to carry the two pots of precious wintersweets back to the direction of the study. When only Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin were left in the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Jingyao said, "Why did you put them in the study?"

"The painting of looking for plum blossoms in the snow has not yet been completed. Isn't it more refreshing to have plum blossoms in front of you?" Wei Zijin explained with a light smile.

Although she couldn't figure out Xiao Heng's intention for sending these two pots of plum blossoms, she did like to appreciate plum blossoms. Now that she has these two pots of plum blossoms, why would she transfer her hatred to plum blossoms because she hated Xiao Heng? !
"You like the plum blossoms he rewarded very much?" Xiao Jingyao stared straight into the depths of her eyes, and asked thoughtfully, with faint dissatisfaction in his voice.

Wei Zijin chuckled, shook his head and replied, "I like plum blossoms, which have nothing to do with Xiao Heng, so why do you care?"

"Since you like it, why don't you put those two pots of wintersweet in the house so that you can enjoy it day and night?" Hearing Wei Zijin's explanation, Xiao Jingyao's complexion did not improve, and his brows became more and more frowned.

"The room is too warm. If the plum blossoms are placed in the room, they will wither soon!" Wei Zijin explained with a smile. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyao forgot the characteristic of plum blossoms that are fond of cold while eating, and asked back jokingly with raised eyebrows : "Don't you even forget this?"

Xiao Jingyao met her smiling eyes, feeling embarrassed that he could see through his mind. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said with self-mockery: "I was only thinking about whether you were moved by Xiao Heng's reward, but I forgot his reward." Yours is plum blossom!"

Wei Zijin was about to explain, but Xiao Jingyao already guessed what she would say, reached out his hand to cover her lips, and sighed with a smile: "I know you won't be tempted, but when I hear the word Xiao Heng, I can't help but feel a little bit concerned." That's all..."

Wei Zijin also knew that his mind was because he cared too much about himself, so he took his hand, put it on his heart, and said solemnly: "Now my heart will only move for you, Xiao Jingyao!"
