Chapter 299: Going to the Triple Treasure Palace (2)
"So that's how it is," Pei Huizhao groaned for a while after hearing Chen Xiang's words, then she remembered something again and asked about the gifts prepared by Chen Xiang's other concubines.

Only Chen Xiang said softly: "The Hall of Shaohua heard that a pair of screens are going to be given to the empress. Xu Jieyu seems to be arranging for her family to bring in a suet white jade Guanyin, and Mu Wanyi is planning to give one to the empress." A bracelet carved from garnet."

"Didn't you find out about the others?" Pei Huizhao asked Chen Xiang while walking.

"Yes, the servants only inquired about these now, and they are not sure about the others, so they dare not tell the nobleman," Chen Xiang said with a face of self-blame.

Pei Huizhao was very satisfied with this. She originally arranged for Nanny Wu and the others to inquire about the preparation of gifts by the concubines, just to train them. She didn't expect them to really inquire about anything. You must know such a confidential matter as preparing gifts. , everyone will hide it to prevent outsiders from knowing.Even she herself hasn't shown the rich and noble peony nettles she prepared to others, so it's true knowledge to judge talents by herself.

Thinking of this, Pei Huizhao said slowly: "Knowing what other people do is not the most important thing, knowing what you should do is the most important thing." Saying this, he glanced at the east wing, which was as silent as before, turned around and remained calm. He said, "It's almost time, let's go back."

"Yes," Chen Xiang agreed with a respectful face, and then supported Pei Huizhao to the west wing. When they came to the door, they felt a burst of coolness, and couldn't help but look at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree beside them and said, "It really is." It is true to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.”

The master and servant returned to the house talking and laughing. Pei Huizhao approached the Huanghuali book case as usual, sat down, and continued to pick up the "Spring and Autumn" on it to read. Chen Xiang tidied up the room, and suddenly found some If there is something inappropriate, I called Madam Wu to put it together.

Finally, everything was settled properly, and Chen Xiang started to play with Xue'er. Hearing the crisp "meow", Chen Xiang only felt relieved for a while, seeing that Pei Huizhao had also watched it for a long time, she twisted looked at Pei Huizhao and said, "My lord, Xue'er is becoming more and more human."

"Really?" Pei Huizhao didn't think so, put down "Spring and Autumn", and asked Xue'er, "Xue'er, how do I treat you?" Xueer only heard a "meow", as if to say "OK".At this moment, Pei Huizhao became interested, she looked at Chen Xiang at the side and asked Xueer, "So Chen Xiang treats you well?"

"Meow—meow—" Xue'er yelled twice in succession, as if to say "No————" Seeing this, Pei Huizhao couldn't help laughing, and Chen Xiang also hugged Xue'er , Pretending to be angry, he said: "Just now I praised you for being human, but you told me the truth - you are not human."

Hearing Xueer continue to "meow——" Chen Xiang pouted and continued: "I still don't admit it—you forgot who gave you food, who made you a warm nest ?”

I don't know if she was moved by Chen Xiang, or if she really felt that she had misunderstood Chen Xiang. After hearing Chen Xiang's words, Xueer "meowed" and raised Chen Xiang's hand, as if to say: "I'm sorry, I just I forgot, I must remember in the future, don’t be angry—”

Seeing this situation, Chen Xiang let out a "puchi" laugh, and then Pei Huizhao couldn't help laughing, and said, "You are so childlike, you are as knowledgeable as Xue'er."

Before he knew it, it was noon, and after a brief lunch, Pei Huizhao remembered that the chestnut cake that was always delivered in the morning hadn't arrived this morning, so he couldn't help asking Chen Xiang: "Why didn't the chestnut cake come?"

Chen Xiang was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and murmured: "Yes, it used to be delivered before lunch. How come the unshakable rules have changed today?" Then he asked Pei Huizhao, "Do you want to have a meal?" Is the servant going to the kitchen to ask?"

"Forget it," Pei Huizhao waved his hand and said, "This is originally a gift from the concubine Xian. If we just ask the kitchen, we will lose our identity."

"Yes," Chen Xiang nodded, and then picked up the sewing basket to do some maid work, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a question from the old mother: "Thank you, the old slave is here to send chestnuts." Crap."

After hearing this, Pei Huizhao hurriedly signaled Chen Xiang to go out to deal with it, while he was thinking about what the Qianqiu Banquet would be like at night. After a while, he saw Chen Xiang walking in with a food box, and when she put down the food box, he brought out the food inside Pei Huizhao asked softly, "Did you ask that mother why the chestnut cake was delivered late today?"

"I asked," Chen Xiang said slowly while stepping back slightly, "Concubine Xian wants to make a moon cake for the empress, so she wasted time making chestnut cakes."

"So that's how it is," Pei Huizhao nodded slightly, and was about to pick up a piece of chestnut cake when he heard footsteps at the door, followed by a rather friendly question: "Is sister Hui there?"

No need to guess, Pei Huizhao also knew that it was Chu Xianglian who came, so he hurriedly motioned for Chenxiang to greet him, but he quickly stood up and walked to the door, and when he saw Mrs. Chu, he saluted gracefully, and naturally Chu Xianglian returned the salute perfectly.

Then the two walked to the front of Huanghuali Arhats together. Just as they sat down, Chu Xianglian saw the chestnut cake on the small table and couldn't help smiling and said, "Sister Hui is really busy, everyone in the palace is busy preparing for it." The empress's gift, only sister Hui is greedy here."

"Sister is joking," Pei Huizhao took Chu Xianglian's words and said, "Feiyi's short-sightedness and clumsiness are not as good as my sisters' ingenuity. It would add to the confusion. Feiyi can only wait here and envy the sisters."

"Sister Hui is really humble," Chu Xianglian said while looking at the cakes on the table, suddenly remembered something, looked at Pei Huizhao and asked, "Is this chestnut cake?"

"Yes," Pei Huizhao nodded, and said with a smile, "Thanks to my mother for giving me such a delicacy, my sister will come and taste it, it's really delicious." As he spoke, he pushed the rose-style plate towards Chu Guiren .

Seeing this, Chu Xianglian hurriedly declined and said, "This is a gift from the concubine Xian to sister Hui, how dare I take away the beauty of others."
