Zhao Heng pulled Lu Wanzhi and ran all the way. After running for nearly a quarter of an hour, Lu Wanzhi couldn't run anymore, so he asked Zhao Heng to stop.

"No, don't run away."

Zhao Heng glanced behind him and said, "I wonder if any officers and soldiers will come after me again. This place is quite close to Furong Pastry Shop. Let's go to Furong Pastry Shop."

Lu Wanzhi nodded and followed Zhao Heng all the way to a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, two gray-haired old men were watering an osmanthus tree. Seeing Zhao Heng coming, the Xu family elders said in unison: "Your Majesty."

The Xu family's aunt saw Zhao Heng holding Lu Wanzhi's hand. When she raised her eyes and saw Lu Wanzhi combing her hair into a married woman's bun, she smiled and said, "This must be the princess of the county, right?"

Lu Wanzhi took her hand out of Zhao Heng's hand and said: "Madam, I am not the princess of the county. My name is Lu Wanzhi, and I am the husband of the prince. I am passing by here to ask for a drink of water. Sorry to bother you."

Aunt Xu said: "Okay, please wait a moment, but I only have some coarse tea here. I hope Mr. Lu doesn't mind."

Although Lu Wanzhi grew up in fine clothes and fine food, she was so thirsty now that she didn't think the tea was bad, so she took several sips of the cold tea poured by Aunt Xu.

Zhao Heng also took a drink of tea and said, "Aunt Xu, is Uncle Xu's back pain better? Did the doctor I found for you last time prescribe any medicine for you?"

Aunt Xu said: "It's much better. He slept well at night after the injection. Maybe he can open a shop and make cakes again in a while."

Lu Wanzhi smiled at Aunt Xu and said, "I have a grudge to ask you to come here today. My sister left Chang'an three years ago and really misses the lotus cakes made by her elders. I wonder if I can ask you two to sell some lotus cakes."

?”

Aunt Xu said, "Of course, Mr. Lu... I remember, you are the granddaughter of Mr. Lu's family, right?"

A few days ago, the young prince came to inquire about what kind of cakes you like to eat. I remember that the maids of the Lu family often buy lotus cakes."

"Yes, my sister and I love your lotus cake the most."

Lu Wanzhi glanced at Zhao Heng who was standing aside and said, "You are serious and you know how to please your teacher."

Zhao Heng's ears were red and he said: "Who is trying to please you? It was because you spoke for me that day and believed that I was not the murderer of Yaoyao. That's why I gave you cakes. I didn't want to give them to you because I like you.

Pastries.”

Lu Wanzhi naturally believed that Zhao Heng would not like her.

After hearing what Zhao Heng said, Aunt Xu said to Lu Wanzhi: "Mr. Lu, you are so willing to believe that the little prince is innocent. The death of my Yaoyao has nothing to do with the little prince.

The little prince has been taking good care of us two in the past two years. If it weren't for the little prince, I'm afraid we would have gone long ago."

Uncle Xu also hurriedly said to Lu Wanzhi: "Mr. Lu, the little prince is the kindest person in the world."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said: "He is my student, and I also believe that he is innocent. You two should also take care of your body and bones. Miss Yaoyao has a soul in heaven, and she will also hope that the two of you will live well. We diners are also waiting

The second elder is reopening the pastry shop."

Aunt Xu responded repeatedly: "Hey, we two old men have to live no matter what, to see the murderer of our daughter get retribution!"

When Zhao Heng heard this, he sighed, lowered his head and said, "I am also incompetent and cannot avenge Yaoyao."

"Your Majesty, you have done a great job." The two elders of the Xu family comforted Zhao Heng.

While the Xu family and his wife were making lotus cakes, Lu Wanzhi looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of her and asked Zhao Heng, "Who is the murderer of Yaoyao? Even you can't take revenge?"

Zhao Heng looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and said: "This sweet-scented osmanthus tree was planted when Yaoyao was born. It is very fragrant in autumn. The sweet-scented osmanthus honey made by Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu is delicious. I will give you a jar then."

.”

Lu Wanzhi saw that Zhao Heng was unwilling to say it, but he could actually guess it.

Zhao Heng was the one whom the Empress Dowager loved dearly. Judging from the Queen Mother's attitude towards Zhao Heng when she entered the palace last time, even Zhao Heng had no choice but to seek revenge. There was no one else but the prince.

Lu Wanzhi took a sip of tea and said: "This is the best Huoshan yellow bud, but it is treated like scraps of silver to make cold tea. Why don't you tell them the value of this tea?"

For the Xu family to have such good tea, it must have been given to them by Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng said: "There is so much good tea in the palace that we can't finish it, so why tell them how valuable this tea is? It's all tea anyway, unlike you literati who have to distinguish high and low when it comes to tea. As long as you can drink it, it's all good."

tea."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng. Although he was straightforward, he did have an innocent heart sometimes.

He is a dignified county prince, but he treats the two elders of the Xu family so carefully without asking for anything in return, and he doesn't even ask for his bad reputation to be washed away.

How can this be called the Little Overlord of Chang'an? It's just like the Little White Rabbit of Chang'an.

Zhao Heng said: "Do you want to learn to make lotus cake? I learned it last time, it's not difficult."

Lu Wanzhi said: "No, I'm going to find Xuanxuan. Those officers and soldiers must have gone far away. I wonder if Yulan Yuzhu and the others followed Xuanxuan?"

"Don't worry, I just saw Meng Ao running away with your sister."

Lu Wanzhi heard Zhao Heng's words and said, "Then I can't rest assured."

Zhao Heng said: "Are you afraid that Meng Ao will bully your sister? Just be relieved, Meng Ao has been tied up in the bamboo forest by your sister all day, how can he still dare to bully your sister?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "That's what you said. And where are Yuzhu and Yulan? If they are caught..."

"I just saw Gu Qingchi taking Yulan away. Nothing should happen."

Lu Wanzhi's head hurt again when she thought about Gu Qingchi, "Why does Gu Qingchi insist on being interested in my maid? Yulan loves scholars as much as I do. How can a dandy named Gu Qingchi be worthy of Yulan?"

Zhao Heng reached out and probed Lu Wanzhi's head with the back of his hand, "Why are you talking nonsense even if you don't have a fever? Gu Qingchi is the empress's nephew and the prince's cousin, so why is he not worthy of your maid?"

"Is he a scholar? Is he a Jinshi? Apart from being protected by your family, what else do you do to idle around all day?"

Lu Wanzhi said, "I can find a potential student for Yulan in the academy to be her husband. Although that student is not as good as you now, in ten or twenty years, he will be a high official in the court. Yulan has the talent."

Isn't it better to be a decent lady than to serve as Gu Qingchi's concubine?"

Zhao Heng thought carefully and said, "But are you sure that the student you are looking for for Yulan will not mind that Yulan is a slave?"

Lu Wanzhi was choked. She had not considered this matter. If she was really a talented scholar, she would be arrogant. I wonder if she would dislike Yu Lan's background?

Zhao Heng said: "So, Yulan should marry Gu Qingchi, so what if he relies on the blessing of his family? At least he doesn't dislike Yulan's bad birth.

I see that Gu Qingchi is really attracted to Yulan. He calls out Yulan’s name in his dreams, so you can help them both."

Lu Wanzhi said to Zhao Heng: "No, to be the son-in-law of my Lu family, you need to be a high school scholar, and the same is true for Yulan. Yulan has been studying and practicing calligraphy with me since she was a child, and her literary talent is not inferior to that of the academy students.

Even if you can't marry a Jinshi, marrying a teacher and being a decent wife is more than enough. If you don't have to marry someone as a concubine and stay humble at home, you two are not allowed to think about marrying my maid again."

"I have no idea of ​​marrying your maid." Zhao Heng muttered in a low voice, "I have the idea of ​​marrying you."

"What did you say?"

Lu Wanzhi didn't hear Zhao Heng's whisper clearly.
