One touch and one silence

"Your Majesty, this was sent to us by the Seventh Prince through His Majesty." Meixiang explained.

Cheng Yueqing sat up straight and raised her eyebrows, "Oh! What is it that was sent to me through the hands of His Majesty?"

When Meixiang heard what her master said, she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I have asked, and it is a return gift from His Majesty the Seventh Prince. Every palace has one, but you seem to have one more than the other palaces."

This made Cheng Yueqing even more curious.

"Bring the things in, I'll take a look."

She is not interested in things that everyone has, but she would like to take a look at things that are more than others.

The imperial concubine pointed at the thing on the jade plate that looked quite nice, and asked curiously, "What is this? Why have I never seen this thing before?"

Meixiang answered the queen's words honestly, "My queen, I heard from the eunuch who brought it that what kind of cake it was, it smelled particularly fragrant.

When the imperial concubine heard Meixiang's words, she moved closer and indeed smelled a milky aroma, which made her want to eat it.

"How about trying it?" Cheng Yueqing said uncertainly.

The nanny was much happier when she saw that her master suddenly wanted to eat.

"I have never seen such exquisite snacks. Since they are sent by Your Majesty, there must be no problem. Your Majesty may wish to try them."

Meixiang quickly brought a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her master respectfully.

Cheng Yueqing picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of the white thing on top, and slowly put it into her mouth.

She didn't expect that this thing would melt in her mouth. It was amazing.

She picked up another piece, including the yellow part underneath, and slowly put it into her mouth.

Cheng Yueqing was instantly conquered by the taste.

The delicious food made her squint her eyes, and she felt particularly enjoyed it.

Soon, Nanny and Meixiang felt the changes in their master.

Both of them showed joy on their faces.

Cheng Yueqing sat on the chair and had eaten half of the cake without realizing it.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Cheng Yueqing quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and went out to greet the emperor.

When the emperor followed the imperial concubine in, he found that most of the cake had been eaten.

The emperor was extremely upset, but he was still late.

Normally, doesn't this person eat anything given to him by others? Why did he eat it on a whim today?

"The Imperial Concubine is also tasting the cake that Xiao Qi sent!"

Cheng Yueqing listened to the emperor's words and smiled gently, "I also smelled something good, so I tried it. I have to say, this taste is really interesting."

"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"

The emperor sat down and said, "Since Yue Qing invited me, I will accompany you to taste it."

Manager Xu: ...

Cheng Yueqing was indeed happy, and she enjoyed this rare and beautiful time with His Majesty and the others.

The queen was curious when she received the snacks from Xiaoqi in return. She took a bite and couldn't put it down.

She had never eaten such delicious snacks before, and she shared some with Nai Momo and Ling Xiang beside her.

As for the others, they were not so lucky.

The queen never imagined that her good son was quite talented in this area.

Seeing that there was something else inside, which was very similar to the white one she was eating, she thought of her father and mother.

"Mammy, please send this egg cake to my father and mother to try. This cake is very soft and should suit their taste."

She took a look at the cake in front of her and thought it was too small. Otherwise, she would have given some to her father and mother.

After Nan Shu received the cake, he opened it and started eating it.

Now with a bulging belly, he lay on the couch and spoke leisurely.

"Where did Xiaoqi get this snack? It's so delicious!"

Jiu'er echoed, "Yes! I just asked around, and there are only His Majesty, the Crown Prince, the Queen, and you, the Master. Oh, yes, there is also a Royal Concubine. Only the five of you have one."

"It shows that this thing is scarce. The Seventh Prince really thinks of you in everything." Jiuer flattered him subtly.

"Of course not. My friendship with Xiao Qi is not comparable to that of ordinary people. When the Crown Prince wanted my mother to adopt Xiao Qi, I helped him a lot."

Nan Shu is so arrogant, luckily she had the foresight to recognize the talent!

Suddenly she sat up with a serious look on her face, "That's not right? Why does the Imperial Concubine have it too?"

"Humph!"

Jiuer suddenly didn't know what to say.

Yue Er suddenly stood up and said, "Princess, the Imperial Concubine must have received the cake by the way. Think about it, no one in the entire palace has received a cake below the Imperial Concubine. It must be because of her status."

This is really smart.

Nan Shu thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it's not that easy to make it different."

"I really want to leave the palace, but my mother won't let me go out to play. She always says that it's dangerous outside the palace. This princess is almost going to mold."

Nan Shu sighed in boredom. She really wanted to go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion at this moment.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have come back. Now I want to go out, but I can’t.

When Jiuer heard her master say that she wanted to leave the palace, she became afraid when she thought of the news she had heard recently.

"Princess, the Queen is doing this for your own good. It is indeed dangerous outside. I have heard that there have been several waves of people trying to assassinate the Seventh Prince."

"besides ……"

Jiuer suddenly walked to Nanshu and whispered in her ear the news she had just heard.

Nan Shu opened her mouth in surprise and shock. She frowned and was full of confusion.

"Is this true? Uncle Prince Zhennan really rebelled?"

"Really? I heard that His Majesty and the Crown Prince have been very busy with this matter recently."

"Weren't a lot of people suddenly arrested some time ago? I heard that they were all related to the Prince of Zhennan." Jiuer said cautiously.

"Isn't Uncle Zhennan in the capital? Father, can't you just go and arrest him?"

How could there be danger outside? Why would someone want to assassinate Xiao Qi? Is it related to Xiao Qi?

"Princess! The Prince of Zhennan has already fled to the border. I heard that the one in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion was a disguised secret guard. The prince was scolded for this incident."

When Nan Shu heard the word "border", he immediately stood up and said, "What did you say? Uncle Prince Zhennan ran back to the border?"

Jiuer didn't quite understand why the princess reacted so strongly.

She stuttered and asked, "Princess...Princess, is there anything wrong?"

Nan Shu ran out the door without saying anything, saying as he ran, "Something happened. It's a big deal!"

She has to find the prince and find a way to bring the person back.

Nan Shu hurried to the East Palace, running out of breath.

As soon as she arrived at the study of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince quickly put down the pen in his hand and caught Nan Shu who was about to fall to the ground.

"What happened to you? Why are you running like this?"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
