One touch and one silence

Half an hour later, Nancy finally arrived.

At this time, she was already out of breath and her whole body could not take it anymore.

Seeing the two maids finally arrive at the door, Shuhua stepped forward and explained his purpose to the gatekeeper.

Soon a young eunuch ran in.

The master and his servants were waiting at the door, and Nancy leaned carefully against the wall beside her.

It’s not that she has no rules, it’s just that her body really can’t take it.

Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long before I saw a man wearing a golden crown and golden court robes. On the robes were embroidered gold threads with a creature with bared fangs and claws, which looked somewhat like a dragon but without horns. It looked more like the legendary python robe. On his waist hung a white jade pendant, and just by looking at its sheen, you could tell it was extraordinary.

The young man was striding towards him.

The prince looked at Nancy with surprise on his jade-like face, and walked over to help her.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shuhua Shuyue stood up and bowed.

The prince waved his hand and gestured casually, then looked at Nancy with concern.

Nancy could sense the concern in the boy's tone, and it didn't sound fake.

Nancy did not refuse the prince's hold on her arm, listening to the concern in the boy's tone.

Nancy smiled slightly, "Brother Crown Prince, Xiao Qi is much better. That's why I came to see you, Brother Crown Prince."

"I feel fine today, so I made some of the two snacks I learned on the mountain for my prince brother to try. Xiaoqi has nothing, but this is the only thing I can show off."

Shuyue hurried forward and handed the food box to the eunuch beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Nanchen looked at his seventh brother, who was still very weak and could barely stand, and spoke in a reproachful tone.

"Any time is fine. Your body is not fully recovered yet, why do this?"

Nancy was really relieved now. The prince really cared about her younger brother.

Nancy looked as if she had made a mistake and lowered her head.

The prince felt a little reluctant, as if he felt his tone was too harsh, so he started to explain again.

"Cough cough!"

"What the elder brother meant was that your health is the most important thing. Look at your condition. What if something happens on the way?"

The tone was much gentler than the previous one.

Nancy was not upset by His Royal Highness's words, she was seeing fragments of His Royal Highness's life.

Looking at the scenes inside, Nancy suddenly felt a little sad.

Such a good person shouldn't have ended up like this.

Nancy suddenly raised her head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a bright smile.

"Thank you for your concern, my seventh brother. I'll know next time."

In his previous life, he also had brothers and sisters. They got married and had children within two years. They were half brothers and sisters with the same mother or father, but none of them treated him like the prince did.

I felt a little touched. On TV, they said that there is no such thing as love in the palace, only interests.

Nancy thought that since you are such a good person, she couldn't just watch such a good prince, a prince who loves the people like his own children, have an indelible stain on him and become an obstacle to his succession to the throne, right?

The two of them soon arrived at the Crown Prince's study. Nancy didn't expect that there was someone else in the study.

I was suddenly stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I didn't know the prince was busy!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved to the others, motioning them to go down, and smiled at her gently.

"It's okay, I didn't bother you, I'm just tired."

"Seventh brother is so thoughtful." After saying that, he gestured to his father-in-law to open the lunch box. Seventh brother made it himself, and he couldn't let Seventh brother's kindness go to waste.

Originally I just wanted to give it to my seventh brother as a token of my appreciation, but when I opened it, I saw two desserts, one white and one red, which looked very appetizing.

He looked at them with confusion, as he had never seen these two dim sum before, and didn't know which one to pick up first with his chopsticks.

“These two are!”

Shuhua looked at his master's expression and knew that he was indeed tired today.

She took the initiative to step forward and explain on behalf of her master, "Your Highness, this dish is called rice cake. It is made by soaking rice, crushing it, grinding it into powder, and steaming it. Your Highness said this is called rice cake."

"The master said this dish is osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root. It is made by washing lotus root and stuffing it with pre-soaked glutinous rice. It is cooked with brown sugar, and then the osmanthus is added and evenly mixed into the soup, and then poured into the glutinous rice and lotus root."

After saying this, he bowed and retreated to his original position.

The prince said "reward" happily, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the red glutinous rice lotus root.

Originally the eunuch wanted to step forward, but the prince waved his hand and signaled him to step back. Nancy saw this scene clearly.

The prince was thinking about his seventh brother's good intentions and couldn't let him feel uncomfortable.

Before the prince ate it, he smelled a sweet flavor and took a light bite.

The prince's eyes were wide open.

This is too delicious!

Can lotus root be done this way?

The glutinous texture, coupled with the original fragrance of the lotus root and the scent of osmanthus, is sweet and not greasy.

The prince quickly finished a piece and used his chopsticks to pick up food from another plate.

Just as he was about to eat, Nancy stopped him.

"Brother Prince, drink some water first to let the taste in your mouth dissipate. Then try the rice cake again. You will feel a different feeling!"

The prince signaled to the eunuch beside him to bring a cup of tea. He rinsed his mouth and then took a bite. He found the taste was not bad.

It doesn't have a greasy taste, but a light sweetness, with the aroma of rice and the sweetness of red dates. The taste is very suitable for filling your stomach when you are hungry.

He doesn't like pastries very much. Firstly, they are too sweet, and secondly, they are too sticky. Every time he eats them, he always chokes.

This is quite novel.

"Seventh brother, did you learn all these in the mountains? You have worked hard these years." The prince said distressedly. Which boy would go into the kitchen and make snacks? It can be seen that Xiaoqi's life in the mountains is not satisfactory.

The prince pondered for a moment and explained why his father punished Xiao Qi.

"In that incident, Father and Mother knew that you were the one who was wronged the most, but you still admitted it in public."

"Father had no choice but to send you over. Father originally asked the abbot to treat you well, but he didn't expect that. Don't worry, this time, Big Brother will definitely not let you continue to live a hard life in the mountains."

Nancy smiled softly.

"Brother, my seventh brother still wants to go back, here..."

The prince knew that Nancy was indescribable. Her eyes looked a little dark and no one knew what she was thinking.

Then he smiled and said to Xiao Qi, "Then stay here for dinner tonight. I will ask the small kitchen to make your favorite food. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Nancy felt a little embarrassed. She looked at the food box in Shuhua's hand and scratched her ear.

How could the prince not know?

He said unhappily, "Tell me what else you want! I'm sure I can get it done for you."

Nancy stammered, "Not really. I just thought that I would be going back in a couple of days. I haven't seen my father in all these years. I only saw him once a while ago. I couldn't show my filial piety to him all these years. I thought that before I leave, I would go and see him, which would fulfill my filial piety."

After hearing what Nancy said, the prince couldn't help but take the folding fan in his hand and gently tap her head.

"Brother thought it was a big deal, which made it so difficult for you to speak. Come on, I'll take you there."

At the same time, he winked at his father-in-law beside him.
