Only this green, not disappointing the spring

This was the first time that Xuanyuan Yan truly witnessed Shangguan Qingyue's appetite. Almost all the food on the table was eaten up, and Mother Wu, who was standing by, was so shocked that her eyes widened.

She couldn't help but secretly look up and down, the person in front of her was obviously very petite and well-proportioned. She really couldn't understand how such a small person could fit so much food in his stomach!

However, she was relieved that her master's appetite had improved a lot after being taken care of, and he ate a lot more than before.

After the servants served the tea to help digestion, Xuanyuan Yan suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Ayue, you...didn't you eat all the food on the table so cleanly because you didn't want to waste it?"

He vaguely remembered that once when the two of them were having a meal in a restaurant, the girl had grumbled about not wasting food. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move his eyes downwards, looking at the girl's slightly bulging belly...

Shangguan Qingyue looked in the direction of his gaze and rubbed her stomach a little embarrassedly.

“Hey, when you’re full, your belly will swell up.

But I didn't eat too much, at most I was 90% full. Your Highness, don't worry that I'll eat too much, I'll have a lot of things to do later, and I'll digest it quickly."

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but frown.

"Shouldn't you focus all your energy on me? What else are you busy with? I heard that you didn't eat until very late last night. What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

The little girl rolled her eyes a few times, and then said mysteriously:

“Your Highness will know in a few days, so I won’t tell you for now.

As for today, I plan to go back home. I didn’t bring many of the things I’m used to, especially my donkey, Xiaohua. I’m counting on it to take me to the shop in the future.”

It would have been fine if she didn't explain, but after she said that, Xuanyuan Yan's expression became even uglier.

"If you go to the shop, who will take care of me? Do you think you can fool around for three months?!"

When Madam Wu saw her master like this, her face trembled, and she was frightened. However, Shangguan Qingyue was not frightened by his angry expression. Instead, she opened her big round eyes, approached him and said:

"Your Highness, can you ask someone to find a few craftsmen to come to the mansion? Have them build an oven next to the big kitchen, and I will make dessert for you."

Xuanyuan Yan's expression eased, but he still asked stubbornly:

"If you still go to Shuiyunjian every other day like before, why would you have the time to cook for me in your house? Besides, if I want to eat, you can just bring it back from the shop. Why bother to build one?"

“Although the Third Prince’s Mansion is close to Shuiyunjian, it is still a long way to go. This dessert tastes best when it is made and eaten right away.

However, although your leg is injured, it is not conducive to your recovery if you stay in the study all the time. If you are willing, how about you accompany me to the store?"

Xuanyuan Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that there was no need for him to hide anything now, so he readily agreed.

The craftsmen came to the mansion soon. Shangguan Qingyue gave the blueprint to the old man who led the group. The old man took the blueprint and looked at it carefully from front to back and said with some embarrassment:

"Miss Shangguan, the oven you drew is not difficult to make, but the appearance... I am not good at it, so I am afraid I can't completely reproduce it!"

Xuanyuan Yan took the blueprint with doubt, and his mouth curled up at a glance. It was nothing else, that was the appearance of the cat that Shangguan Qingyue had thought of for Shangpin Pavilion this year.

Really... cute and tight.

Shangguan Qingyue was not disappointed when she heard this, but became interested.

"Don't worry, old man. You and the others will take care of the interior. As for the exterior, I will take care of it myself."

With her words, the old craftsman no longer had any concerns, and he and the people who came with him built the oven in less than an hour.

Then Shangguan Qingyue was seen wearing a green cloth dress, with a cloth of the same color wrapped around her hair, and her wrists and ankles tied with ropes. She looked extremely neat and capable.

Xuanyuan Yan noticed that everyone around him stretched their necks to watch the fun, frowned and said in a cold voice:

"Is everything done?

Qingyi, settle the money and send the craftsmen out of the palace."

As soon as he said this, everyone bowed respectfully and retreated quietly. The scene immediately became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shangguan Qingyue found it funny.

"Your Highness, if you drive everyone away, who will help me later?"

Therefore, Bai Er, who was hiding in the dark, opened his mouth in shock. He saw Xuanyuan Yan not caring about the mud splashing on his body, and started to attack Shangguan Qingyue.

The cat's appearance gradually emerged, and it was more beautiful than she had imagined. Shangguan Qingyue stared at her first "sculpture" work and fell into hesitation.

"What should I use to decorate the eyes and nose? If I just draw the patterns, it will look too plain."

Xuanyuan Yan suppressed his disgust and cleaned the dirt from his fingertips, then said lightly:

"How about using gems, like the cat you keep named Chiyu, with blue eyes and a red nose. I have a lot of gems from the Western Regions in my warehouse, you can pick any you like."

Shangguan Qingyue: (⊙o⊙)

Although the temperature inside the oven is high, the surface is only warm at best, so there is no need to worry about the gemstones being burned. However, isn't this a bit of a waste?

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Xuanyuan Yan said with a smile:

"No matter how good something is, it's a waste if it's left in a warehouse gathering dust. This is at best... making the best use of it."

Shangguan Qingyue found it funny. This was far from "making the best use of things".

However, after she selected the gems and placed them on the cat's face, she had to admit that they were indeed beautiful.

Xuanyuan Yan was also very satisfied with what he saw. He picked up a few small ones and glued five more gems next to the cat ears in the shape of the small flower.

He seemed to have regained his innocence and began to play freely with great interest, sticking dozens of them without any regrets before stopping.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the light shining on the oven flashed colorful brilliance. Shangguan Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of her, and couldn't help but sighed:

"The desserts made with this oven will surely taste three times better."

"Yes, of course. Go wash up, it's getting late. Come and have lunch with me later."

Xuanyuan Yan always had a faint smile on his face, and Xuan Si carried him and his chair to the East Courtyard. Xuan Si, who was always taciturn, couldn't help but say on the way:

"The master has been smiling more and more since Miss Qingyue came. That's great."

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but rub his hands on the corners of his mouth, and the tenderness in his eyes became even more intense.

Just as he was leaning back on the couch and reading a book, he heard a series of hurried footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Seeing the person coming, he asked with a surprised look:

"Why are you so reckless? From tomorrow on, you will continue to come to my place to learn piano and calligraphy. I don't expect you to develop the demeanor and bearing of a lady from a noble family, but at least you can change your impatient temper."

Shangguan Qingyue quietly stuck out her tongue and nodded obediently. She subconsciously hid her hands behind her back, fearing that the other party would pick up a ruler and hit her in a fit of rage.

Tsk, thinking back to the days in Xiangxue Village last year, although I was free and easy, I was also punished a lot!

Xuanyuan Yan seemed to have the same idea as her. At this moment, he naturally did not want to give people the impression of being a teacher, so he lowered his voice and asked:

"Tell me, what makes you so anxious?"

When this matter was mentioned, the little girl immediately became excited.

"I didn't expect that His Highness also built a glazed room in the west courtyard. It's more than three times bigger than the one in my courtyard! But why is there nothing inside?"

"Oh, that. Seeing that your Shuiyunjian was well built, I ordered people to build it randomly because it was new to me. But later I was busy with official duties and had no time to take care of it, so I just put it aside.

Eat quickly, I could hear your stomach rumbling just now."

Shangguan Qingyue reached out and rubbed her belly, smiling to hide her embarrassment. She leaned closer and asked flatteringly:

"Since Your Highness is too busy to take care of them, can you let me take care of the three glass rooms? Otherwise, it would be a shame to leave them empty."

"Yes, but the middle one must be decorated as a greenhouse for people to relax and enjoy. You can do whatever you want with the other two."

Shangguan Qingyue stretched out two fingers behind her in surprise, her eyes seemed to have two little suns, her gaze was fiery and bright.

After dinner, she took the carriage back to Shangguan Mansion. When she left, the carriage was empty, but when she returned, it was full.

She rode her donkey Xiaohua in front, followed by three carriages. The last two were from Shangguan Mansion and were filled with green vegetable seedlings and flowers.

Mother Wu had been waiting outside the gate long ago after hearing the servants' report, and couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. If you didn't know, you would think that this little ancestor had moved his own home here!
