Ning Zhiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Take them to Box No. 3."

"Yes."

Xiao Linfeng glanced at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Don't you want to see me?"

Ning Zhiwei played with the teacup and said, "Let Xinzhe come. He will take over the Ning family one day. This is also considered the Ning family's family affairs. Let him practice in advance."

The men of the Ning family were so focused on leading the troops in battle that they had no time to pay attention to the backyard, so they knew nothing about the lethality of the backyard.

This is a lesson for Ning Xinzhe.

Xiao Linfeng sighed with emotion, "You are so good to him."

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "When I was little, I almost grew on the backs of my brothers. No matter where I went, they took me with them."

When the elders were busy with military affairs, they would leave her in the care of her brothers. Her brothers would play with her patiently, let her choose good things first, and save the delicious food for her first.

She never forgot those friendships.

Xiao Linfeng looked at her in a daze. She seemed cold and heartless, but she was actually the most affectionate person.

His heart was burning, "Your Majesty, can I..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Lord Rong is here."

Xiao Linfeng's face darkened. This guy was born in the year of the dog. He always interrupted his good things.

Ning Zhiwei raised her voice and said, "Let him in."

Rong Jing came in carrying a lot of bags, and walked up to Ning Zhiwei to present his treasures, "I went to buy some freshly baked snow cakes, chestnut cakes, and kumquat cookies. They're still hot, come and try them."

Snow flake cake and chestnut cake are the signature dishes of this century-old cake shop. They are limited to 60 pieces a day and are sold out on a first-come, first-served basis, so you have to grab them.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes lit up, these two kinds of pastries were her favorites, and people would occasionally line up to buy them.

That’s right, it tastes best when it’s fresh out of the pot. By the time it’s brought to the palace, it’s cold and the taste is a little worse.

The imperial kitchen had a recipe, but the taste of the food was a little off.

She picked up the cake and was about to eat it, but was stopped by Xiao Linfeng, "I don't know if it's clean if it's bought outside. Let me try it."

Rong Jing seemed to have just seen it, "Master Xiao, you are here too."

He took the cake from Ning Zhiwei and stuffed it into his mouth, "Let me try it."

Xiao Linfeng disliked him. He finally had a chance to talk to Ning Zhiwei alone, but he ruined it.

"Master Rong, do you have nothing to do today?"

Rong Jing smiled and said, "The wedding is coming soon, I have to buy myself some dowry."

Xiao Linfeng was choked by his saliva and looked at him in disbelief. How could he have the nerve to say such things?

Rong Jing was in a very good mood. In a few days, he and Ning Zhiwei would be getting married. "Ah, Lord Xiao, we are colleagues. Shouldn't you give me an extra gift?"

Xiao Linfeng was defeated by his shamelessness, "Lord Rong."

Rong Jing put his arm around his shoulders, acting like a good brother, "Master Xiao, please give me your collection of calligraphy and paintings. My Majesty loves these the most."

Xiao Linfeng pushed him away and said, "Shut up."

Rong Jing immediately looked at Ning Zhiwei, "Your Majesty, he is mean to me."

Xiao Linfeng was almost mad with anger. This bastard was fighting and snatching, and he would complain and show weakness. He lost because he wanted to save face!

Ning Zhiwei didn't want to get involved in the fights between men. She stared at the cakes, which were getting cold. "I'm hungry."

Rong Jing calculated the time and decided it was time to eat.

He brought the cake to her mouth and said, "Eat some cake first to fill your stomach. I'll ask them to serve the food."

Ning Zhiwei took a bite of the pastry and said, "Okay, I'll order two dishes that Master Xiao likes."

Rong Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he said generously, "Of course, Master Xiao, just order whatever you want to eat, don't be polite with us."

His attitude as if the host was treating guests made Xiao Linfeng feel uncomfortable. Us?

"I can eat anything. I'm not picky."

Rong Jing ordered the dishes casually, "Then let's have amber honey roasted duck, jade belt shrimp, osmanthus fish sashimi..."

Listening to him announcing the names of the dishes, Xiao Linfeng's eyes changed slightly.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at them. Even though they were arguing and quarreling, they actually knew each other's favorite dishes. Wow.

There was a commotion outside, Ning Zhiwei looked over, "Why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"

The guard reported hurriedly, "General Black Hawk is in trouble."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

On the other side, Ning Xinzhe and his sister led Ning Ba and his family of four into the Phoenix Tower as if they were familiar with the place. The shopkeeper led them to a private room and served them some refreshments.

Ning Yuanxi ordered all the signature dishes of the restaurant. "It's a rare opportunity to come here, so try them all. If you like them, come again in the future."

Ning Ba looked at the extremely luxurious decoration, elegant furnishings, and the wonderful singing and dancing performances on the high platform, and couldn't help asking, "The food here is very expensive, right?"

Ning Yuanxi said with a smile, "It's the private property of the emperor, so it can be put on her account."

Ayu was very surprised that this was actually Ning Zhiwei's private property.

She was willing to give up the Ning family's children.

Ning Yuanxi looked at the children whose mouths were full of snack crumbs and wiped their mouths with a handkerchief.

"There is a limit. We only come here to entertain guests. Of course, we are not outsiders. The main purpose is to broaden the children's horizons and see more of the world so that they will not be deceived."

Ah Yu frowned slightly, feeling that what he said was not right. Who was he referring to?

Ning Ba didn't think much about it and said, "That's right."

The food was served. Ning Xinzhe picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Ning Ba, "General, come and try the signature dish of Fenghuanglou."

Ning Ba took a bite and his eyes lit up. It was so delicious!

He ate too much by accident, so he stood up and went to the toilet. Ah Yu stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Watching the couple's backs disappear at the door, Ning Xinzhe shook his head slightly. They were watching them too closely.

Ning Yuanxi took a look and curled the corners of his mouth.

Ning Ba was in a good mood, but soon he became unhappy again.

He was stopped by a young girl. The girl was beautiful and weak. Her doe eyes looked at him affectionately. "Sir, I finally found you. Where have you been all these years?"

One sentence expresses the twists and turns, lingering emotions, and endless longing.

A Yu's face changed and she stood in front of Ning Ba.

The girl was stunned when she saw Ah Yu, then she looked at Ning Ba, her eyes gradually turned red, "You are with another woman? Is this the reason why you have been missing for so many years?"

My goodness! As soon as these words were spoken, diners came out to watch the fun. No one watched the performance anymore. Even the performers were absent-minded and kept looking over.

Ah Yu was angry, annoyed, and scared, "Husband, what's going on?"

"Husband?" The girl was shocked, as if the sky had fallen, and tears were streaming down her face. "You got married secretly? What should I do? I've been waiting for five years."

Ning Ba was confused. He didn't remember knowing this woman. However, his memory was incomplete. "Who are you?"

The girl cried, looking pitiful, "I am your fiancée."

Wow, the whole audience was shocked.
