Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

When Xiao Changning rushed to the front hall, Shen Xu was sitting on the upper seat, propped up her right leg, and put her right hand on her knee casually, in a majestic and arrogant posture. Seeing Xiao Changning holding the door leaf and hesitating, Shen Xuan did not raise her eyes, she only said in a deep voice: "Dongchang Chenshi eats breakfast on time, it is now the hour."

This is to remind her that she is late.

Shen Xuan's complexion couldn't see the happiness and anger, Xiao Changning slowly moved into the room, and then looked around, and found that there was no extra food table in the room for her to use.

Don't let her stand and eat? Could this be to take a "Hongmen Banquet" to kill one's own arrogance?

Xiao Changning's mind was so messed up that he couldn't help but think again.

As if seeing what she was thinking in her heart, Shen Xuan raised her sharp and deep eyes, patted the soft cushion beside her lightly, and said, "Come here, you and I have a meal together."

Sheep into the tiger's mouth! Xiao Changning rejected this proposal in his heart.

But Shen Xuan's eyes were heavy, her eyes full of majesty that could not be denied. Xiao Changning struggled for a while, and finally sat trembling on the soft cushion beside Shen Xu, less than half an arm away from him.

The suffocating feeling of oppression is stronger, like tides, like silk entanglement.

Shen Xuan did not question her being rude to avoiding people yesterday, but raised her chin slightly and said, "Take a meal."

The little **** who accompanied the waiter quickly brought up breakfast. Both of them had three dishes and one porridge on their food table. They were nothing but donkey meat, sliced ​​sauced meat, cabbage in soup, and minced chicken porridge. , Far less refined than the imperial dining room.

It's just that Xiao Changning's case has a golden silk cake with red bean soup.

Xiao Changning secretly raised his eyes to observe and found that Shen Xu didn't have this sweet soup in her case, she was the only one.

Shen Xuan, what mystery is this hidden in the sweets?

Golden silk cake... warning?

Xiao Changning scared himself into a cold sweat. She was not used to eating whole grains, did not stir the donkey meat, only stirred the porridge bowl with a jade spoon, sipped, and glanced at Shen Xuan unceasingly, a little bit unable to see the thoughts of the admiral and eunuch.

After drinking the porridge, she carefully cut the golden silk cake with a small silver spoon with a thin handle, and found nothing strange in the middle...

"Don't look at it, it's not poisonous." Shen Xuan said suddenly.

Xiao Changning's spoon shook when he was seen through his thoughts, and the cakes almost spilled out. She blushed, her eyes wandering from embarrassment, and she gave a spoonful of pastry into her mouth like a cover. The golden silk cake melted in the mouth, leaving a fragrance in the cheeks. She couldn't help but ate two more mouthfuls, and she felt much better.

Shen Xuan turned her head to look at her nervous appearance, her thick eyebrows flying diagonally into her temples were raised slightly, but her voice had a hint of imperceptible pleasure, "the princess doesn't have anything to say to me?"

What should come will always come. Xiao Changning put down the bowl and spoon, pursed his red lips, and turned his head in embarrassment, "Yesterday...it was my palace's fault."

Shen Xuan said in a hurry, "Oh? What's wrong with the princess?"

Asking knowingly!

Xiao Changning disliked Shen Xuan's aggressive appearance most. He frowned, and shot back softly. Do your wife's duty."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan laughed very lowly.

Immediately, he said: "The princess does not have to avoid me like a snake and scorpion. To be honest, the Governor does not expect you to sleep with me."

Xiao Changning's eyes lit up, and her long eyelashes flickered in disbelief, "Really? You agree to live in separate beds? Then why were you angry last night and didn't even want to give us dinner?"

Listening to her series of questions, Shen Xuan said calmly, "I did not force a woman's hobby. It is fine to sleep in separate rooms, but you must be with me when you are traveling for meals, and you cannot avoid me. Remember, in the eyes of outsiders, you After all, it was the governor’s wife, and she refused to eat on the second day of the wedding.

The admiral of the dignified Dongchang factory has long been notorious, and he is afraid that the relationship between husband and wife will not be harmonious?

Despite all the doubts in his heart, Xiao Changning quietly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "As long as the admiral treats me politely, I can say anything. Don't worry, I will accept you for three meals a day and walking."

Seeing Shen Xuan staring at him, Xiao Changning was a little sweaty again, "What do you always look at me doing? Don't eat..."

Then he was surprised: The plate in front of Shen Xuan was already clean, not even a grain of rice was left, the plate was shining bright.

But it’s only a quarter of an hour from the time of serving!

How did he quietly roll the clouds in half a quarter of an hour?

Shen Xuan picked up the wet kerchief on the side of the case, wiped her hands slowly and methodically, and said, "The people in Dongchang have been trained for a long time and act fast, and the same goes for eating."

Xiao Changning let out an ‘oh’, plucked up the courage to try to draw up a relationship with Shen Xuan, and found a topic, “Who is the cook of your East Factory? Although the dishes are simple, they are better than delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.”

Shen Xuan neatly folded the wet kerchief and put it aside, and said casually: "The meals of the princess are all handled by Wu Youfu, the chief officer of the white tiger."

Xiao Changning wondered: "You East Factory, the cook can also be one of the four chief officers?"

Shen Xi laughed, arrogantly, "Although our chief Wu is proficient in cooking, it really makes him one of the four chief chiefs, but it's another unique skill."

Xiao Changning didn't know why, "What's the skill?"

Shen Xuan took the stubborn words and uttered two words slowly and methodically: "Refining poison."

"..."

Xiao Changning looked at the empty porridge bowl in front of him with complicated eyes, and tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Xuan seemed to have found pleasure, so she took a lot of time to watch her, "Don't worry, he can still distinguish poison, medicine and spice. Next time, if the princess sees her face, this governor will introduce the four chief officers to you."

Xiao Changning was not sure what he meant.

It stands to reason that she married Shenxuan in the name of the Queen Mother. Shenxuan should be more prepared. How could she introduce her own confidant to herself so unscrupulously? If you have figured out the deployment of Dongchang by yourself, will you not be afraid of betraying him?

Although Xiao Changning was weak and stupid on the surface, she was actually sensitive and shrewd. Despite this, she still couldn't understand Shenxuan's thoughts... This man was far more terrifying than the calculating queen Mother Liang.

After thinking for a moment, she had no choice but to say vaguely, "Listen to the admiral's arrangements. I'm full, so go back to the room and rest first."

"Hold on." Shen Xuan stopped her.

Xiao Changning had to sit down again and looked at him slightly, Shuiling's eyes were bright, like some kind of weak herbivore.

Shen Xuan unconsciously slowed down her tone, "The long princess is the deity of Emperor Ji. It is not appropriate to sleep in the middle of her servants. If it spreads out, it may cause people to impeach Dongchang's stingy. You can move in today. If you are missing something, just let me know."

South Pavilion? Isn't that just across from Shen Xuan's bedroom, only half a courtyard across?

Although it's getting closer, I don't have to accompany the **** to sleep anyway! Xiao Changning was secretly happy.

Then I heard Shen Xuan say, "Your cat, the Governor has ordered Xiao Linzi to return it to your room."

This surprise is no small thing! Even though the notorious Admiral Shen was on the opposite side, Xiao Changning couldn't help showing a smile, and said with joy: "Did you catch Amber?"

Speaking of the cat, Shen Xuan was slightly impatient, "I barked in my room all night last night and was very annoying."

Although it is intolerant, there is no malice. Xiao Changning finally wasn't so afraid of Shen Xuan, and said hurriedly: "My palace will take care of Amber, and I won't disturb you in the future."

With that, she couldn't wait to get up, wanting to go back to see if Amber was injured. But after only two steps, she thought of something again, hesitated slightly, and stopped talking.

Shen Xuan knew that she had something to say, and didn't urge her, she just hugged her arms, so she looked at her in time.

Sure enough, Xiao Changning tentatively said: "Today I return to Ning, my palace needs to visit the Queen Mother at Ci Ning Palace."

Shen Xuan raised her eyes, a trace of darkness passed across her eyes.

For a moment, he stood up, a tall figure standing like a mountain, a slanting light hit the corner of his slightly hooked mouth, he was smiling, but there was no warmth.

He said, "The Governor is too busy with official duties, so he didn't accompany the eldest princess, and asked the eldest princess to say hello to the queen mother for me."

Xiao Changning knew that he had never dealt with the Empress Dowager Liang, presumably he didn't have any good expressions. After getting permission from Hui Gong Guining, he stopped saying anything, but just nodded slightly to Shen Xuan, then turned and went out.

When Xiao Changning's slender figure disappeared in the courtyard, a fat body appeared in the shadow of the house. It was Wu Youfu, the chief of the white tiger who was known for his poison refining and cooking skills.

"The princess is really an interesting person." Wu Youfu said with a smile, "The factory supervisor will show her a little bitterness, and she will accept it when she sees it, and she will not offend the slightest; and the factory supervisor will give her a step, and she will go up. , To get a chance to return to Gong Guining... Our admiral's wife, I am afraid that she is not as innocent and weak as she imagined."

Shen Xuan's gaze stayed in the direction where Xiao Changning was leaving, and her voice was low, "Those who can survive under the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang will naturally not be too stupid. The eldest princess judges the situation, but it is a good thing for this supervisor."

Hearing this, Wu Youfu suddenly clasped his fists, "Subordinates, congratulations, sir."

"Oh?" Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows, her eyes were calm and transparent, and the corners of her mouth raised her mouth and said, "Hey?"

Wu Youfu didn't say a word, but changed the subject warmly, "I wonder what surprises the princess will bring us when she returns to Ning?"

The author has something to say: Everyone: the people of Dongchang do no evil, wolf ambition!

Shen Xuan: The greatest joy in life is to watch Xiaojiao's wife play (act) as a demon (demon)!

Lin Huan: The greatest joy of life is the fish-flavored shredded pork with chicken drumsticks and braised chicken with eggplant and oil.

Wu Youfu: The greatest joy in life is to make soup for the ‘sisters’ to wash their hands.

Fang Wujing: The greatest joy in life is to see the makeup table covered with rouge and gouache.
