The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 176 Guessing the Riddle
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Wen Qian went into the palace to visit Concubine Huo several times. Seeing Concubine Huo's body getting better every day, she felt very relieved, but for some reason, there was always a feeling in her heart. Uneasy emotions.

"Shallow?"

Chu Nanxiao came back from the palace. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw her sitting alone under the sun, propping her head in a daze. She didn't even notice that he was back until he walked to her side and called softly. The people next to him finally turned their heads to look at him.

"Huh? When did you come back?"

"I just came back." Chu Nanxiao replied, and then sat next to her to bask in the sun with her, and asked, "What were you thinking just now? You were so engrossed in thinking."

Hearing his question, Wen Qian lazily sat up straight, hesitated for a moment before saying to him: "Didn't I go into the palace yesterday to visit Concubine Huo? Her complexion has improved a lot, and her illness has completely disappeared." All right."

"Well, isn't that what you were hoping for?"

"Yes! But I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy recently, do you think the Queen Mother will really let Concubine Huo go so easily?"

Since the Empress Dowager asked someone to secretly put bitter grass into Concubine Huo's pillow, she made it clear that she wanted her to die of illness quietly, but now that her health has improved, can the Empress Dowager let it go when she knows it?

That day in the Yonghe Palace, the little emperor blatantly contradicted the queen mother because of his own mother. If the queen mother really didn't hold any grudges in her heart, that would be abnormal!
Chu Nanxiao rolled her eyes slightly when she heard this, and finally turned her head and said to her: "If you are worried that Concubine Huo will be framed by the Queen Mother again, then you can rest assured."

"Concubine Huo has not been in the palace for a day or two. She knows better than you how dangerous the palace is. Besides, she also knows that the Queen Mother wants to harm her, so she will naturally be on guard. Now that the Queen Mother wants to It might not be that easy to start from her side."

Wen Qian listened carefully to his explanation, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense. Maybe it was because she really cared too much.

Thinking of this, she paused and grabbed his arm again, and said in a pleading tone: "Chu Nanxiao, can you send some people to protect Concubine Huo secretly?"

Concubine Huo is surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs who don't know martial arts, but if something really happens, these palace people will not be able to protect her safety at all!
Chu Nanxiao did not refuse her request, but pinched her face helplessly, and said, "You are always so worried about other people's affairs, but you don't care about your own affairs at all."

"The big wedding will be in a few days, and you still have time to take care of other people's affairs." Speaking of this, he couldn't help showing a wry smile, only saying that his little bride's heart is really too big.

Hearing what he said, Wen Qian couldn't help puffing her cheeks and rubbed the place he had pinched, and looked around the yard, only to see that every place in the mansion arranged by the servants was a little happy, so she turned her head again to him.

"It's good that you worry about my affairs. Look, you have prepared the jewelry and clothes for me to get married, and there are servants in the house to arrange them. I don't need to take care of them at all!"

Standing on her main task is to be his bride honestly and quietly, and she doesn't need to do other things by herself. He will naturally let his servants arrange it properly. Since he has arranged all her affairs, then She just has to worry about other people's business.

She could always think of these strange and fallacious ideas, and Chu Nanxiao had nothing to do with her. After listening to her words, he immediately shook his head dumbfounded.

Then I remembered that today is the Lantern Festival, so I said to her again: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and I don't have anything important to do in the afternoon. Is there any place you want to go?"

For the past half month, she stayed in the mansion almost, thinking that she should also feel bored, so she planned to go out with her today, thinking that she would be happy to agree immediately after hearing this, but she actually refused.

"There must be a lot of people outside today. I don't want to go out, so I'd better take it with me at home! I also made some Lantern Festival today, and we can eat Lantern Festival together while watching the lanterns at night!"

"Did you cook the Lantern Festival?" Chu Nanxiao's eyes flickered unnaturally, she was deeply impressed by the meal she made for herself last time, and she was a little worried: "Are you sure you can eat it?"

"Chu Nanxiao! What do you mean?!" Wen Qian stared angrily at the person in front of her, and when she saw that he was silent, she pouted and said, "Although I don't know anything about cooking, this time The Lantern Festival is definitely edible!"

Hearing what she said, the man sitting next to her didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded with some expectation.

"Put this somewhere and bring a lantern over here to light up the yard."

After nightfall, a round of bright moon like a silver plate hangs in the night sky, and a few stars are dotted around it, setting off the tranquility.

At this moment, Xiaojing was ordering the servants in the yard according to Wen Qian's previous instructions, hanging beautiful lanterns in every corner of the yard, and then going to place the cooked Lantern Festival on the stone table outside. Then he went to the house again and asked them both to come out.

"My lord, miss, everything is ready outside."

Wen Qian was lying lazily on the soft bed in the conservatory, looking carefully at the ledger that Han Yu brought back from Baixiaoshe, when she heard Xiaojing say that everything was ready outside, she put down the book in her hand. Ledger sat up.

"Understood, you go out first."

Wen Qian waved to the person standing in front of the door, and then Xiao Jing retreated obediently. Only then did she put her feet down, and turned her head to see Chu Nanxiao still sitting behind the desk inside, holding a book in her hand. He was looking at a booklet, and then stepped on the ground lightly and walked to his side.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her approaching, he put the bag aside indifferently, and when he turned around, she said with a smile, "I'm going out to eat Yuanxiao."

"Ah."

He just responded lightly, then took her hand, and walked out of the yard with her.

After the two came out, they saw that the whole yard was lit up by lanterns, and on the table in the middle, there were two bowls of hot glutinous rice balls, and there were two small stoves under the table.

It was only after the two came to the table and sat down that Chu Nanxiao suddenly realized that the bowl of Yuanxiao in front of him was different from the Yuanxiao he had eaten in the past.
The Lantern Festival he ate before was all white in color, but now the Lantern Festival in his bowl is colorful!This looks much better than ordinary Lantern Festival, but I don't know how it tastes.

"Don't just look at it, try it quickly to see if it tastes good!"

Seeing that he had been watching without moving, Wen Qian reminded him from the sidelines. Only then did he finally pick up a spoon and scoop a round Yuanxiao from the bowl, and ate it into his mouth under her gaze.

Because he had eaten the dishes made by Zeng Wenqian last time, he didn't expect how delicious the Lantern Festival would be, as long as he could eat it!
But what surprised him was that after eating the Lantern Festival, it was not as hard to swallow as he had expected, but it was sweet and delicious. When he bit it down, the filling in the middle was revealed, which turned out to be bursts of fruit. fragrant.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time after he finished eating, and he couldn't see anything from his expression, Wen Qian couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so she asked him with an expression of eagerness to know.

Chu Nanxiao didn't reply her immediately, she just put the bowl back into the bowl first, then turned her head and said to her with normal expression: "If you want to know if it's good or not, you'll know if you try it yourself."

Wen Qian couldn't understand what he meant by what he said, but felt that he seemed dissatisfied, so she took a piece of Lantern Festival from the bowl, but after biting it, she found that it was not as bad as she thought.

"Isn't this delicious!"

"Yeah, I didn't say it's not delicious." Chu Nanxiao raised the corners of her lips and said it confidently, which made Wen Qian speechless. She gave him a blank look, and then continued to eat the food in the bowl with satisfaction. Lantern Festival.

At this time, Chu Nanxiao also picked up the whole bowl of Yuanxiao, stirred it with a spoon, and soon discovered that the fillings of each color of Yuanxiao inside seemed to be different. Some taste fruity and some are floral.

After eating the Lantern Festival, watching the servants come up and remove the empty bowl, Wen Qian thought of another interesting game, so she turned around and said to the people beside her, "We've finished eating, now let's guess the riddle!"

"Okay! Tell me, guess what?" Chu Nanxiao agreed, and then she heard her say: "Just guess what kind of stuffing the Lantern Festival you ate just now! You can be right if you don't fall!"

Those glutinous rice balls were wrapped by herself during the day, and they used seven different fillings, including jam made from fruit and sauce made from flower petals, because she had already planned to use this to test him , so deliberately did not use sesame and sugar as fillings.

Hearing her emphasis, Chu Nanxiao fell silent and thought about it carefully, and soon her slightly frowned brows relaxed, and then said to her: "If I'm right, what should you do?"

"This..." Wen Qian stopped him from asking for a while, apparently he hadn't thought about this question from the beginning.

Seeing that she hesitated for a long while without answering, Chu Nanxiao clasped her hands together, and continued with a swearing look on her face, "Since it's a guessing game, it must be interesting to win a lot of money. If I get everything right later, what reward will you have?" Give me?"

"Don't say it so early, you have to say it all before you can count!" Even though she said that, she felt a little guilty in her heart, thinking that there were so many kinds of fillings in the Lantern Festival, it would be impossible for him to taste them all. Bar?

But he is so cunning, if he didn't have a certain victory in his heart, he wouldn't say such a thing!Thinking of this, she is also very depressed now.

She was the one who asked the question, so why did she stump herself in the end!
