Chapter 168 The Loquat of the Eastern Palace

Chapter 168 Loquats in the East Palace

The two of them stayed in the room for more than an hour. Mu Qingyan's eyes were sore from looking at it, but Jiang Xingge seemed to be unable to get enough of it, and his interest was high.

She turned her eyes and asked aloud: "Cousin, why don't you go and accompany grandpa? He is also alone."

Hearing her words, Jiang Xingge looked up from the book. If he didn't know what she was reading, she would have admired his serious look.

"What, you want to drive me away?"

How dare Mu Qingyan tell the truth? She smiled slightly, her eyes sincere, "I'm just afraid that you will be tired."

In fact, Jiang Xingge was a little tired, but she couldn't bear to part with these notebooks, many of which she had never seen before.

"If you like it, you can pick some and take them back later." She couldn't see that many anyway.

"Miss." Fenxiang's voice sounded outside the door.

Fenxiang didn't see the lady calling her for a long time, and she felt a little anxious. How long has it been? Don't the lady and cousin need to wait on her?

"Come in." Mu Qingyan replied, but she forgot to let Fenxiang enter the house.

Mu Ling followed Fenxiang into the house, and Mu Qingyan was surprised for a moment when he saw her.

The matter of investigating the Longyue Kingdom spies is not in a hurry.

Jiang Xingge spoke louder to the door, "You guys can come in too." None of them were at the door. Only Mu Qi was guarding the door, and of course they wouldn't be allowed to get close.

Hearing my lady's voice, several maids also came in.

"My slave brought some loquats. Miss, try them. They are very sweet." Fenxiang put down what she was holding, and Mu Ling picked up one, peeled it and handed it to Mu Qingyan.

Seeing the loquat, Mu Qingyan couldn't help but think of the time when Bailiyou fed her a belly of loquat. She suddenly wanted to laugh, so she took the loquat and gave it to Jiang Xingge.

"Cousin, try it."

"Good boy~" Jiang Xingge took it and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up, and after spitting out the core, he said, "It's so sweet, much sweeter than the ones in my house. Could it be that the variety is different?"

She frowned.

Mu Qingyan didn't know this. She could only look at Fenxiang, who grinned and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent this specially."

Just as Mu Ling handed over another one, Mu Qingyan was stunned when she heard this and did not pick it up.

Jiang Xingge said "Oh" in sudden realization, then looked at those loquats and said with a strange tone, "It turns out they were given by the prince. No wonder they are so sweet."

This good thing is just different.

So Mu Qingyan conveniently stuffed the loquat into her mouth, "It won't stop your mouth even if you eat it."

"Tsk, don't be shy." Jiang Xingge smiled brightly.

"The loquats in my house are not as sweet as yours."

Mu Qingyan was helpless and turned to ask Fenxiang: "How much did the prince send?"

She didn't know about Fenxiang, because it was Mu Ling who brought him here. She looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling replied: "One fight."

So many? Aren’t you afraid of them breaking? Although the Mu family also has an ice cellar.

"Do you want it?" Mu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xingge.

"Yes!" I don't want such sweet loquats for free.

Mu Qingyan looked at Fenxiang and ordered: "Go and get thirty-two taels later, wrap it up and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Jiang Xingge clicked his tongue and said, "No need to trouble you, just give it to them later."

"That's fine." Mu Qingyan nodded, and then pushed the loquat toward Jiang Xingge, but she didn't take it.

The latter was confused, "Why don't you eat?" Let her eat everything? No need to.

Fenxiang spoke quickly, "Miss, I ate a lot at His Highness the Prince's place earlier."

"No wonder you don't eat it. It turns out you're tired of it. Did His Royal Highness peel it yourself?"

Mu Qingyan looked at her speechlessly. Seeing her reaction, Jiang Xingge immediately understood, "She is indeed a quasi-Crown Princess, with this kind of treatment."

Mu Qingyan didn't want to say anything anymore, and waited for Jiang Xingge to finish eating before sending her away quickly.

Jiang Xingge came empty-handed, but came back with a full load. Naturally, she would not be angry and left with a smile. In fact, she wanted to gossip more, but Qing Yan would definitely not say it.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she met Jiang Xingsheng.

"Did you go for robbery?" Jiang Xingsheng opened his mouth and asked when he saw what was in the maid's hand.

After he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head, "Can't you speak properly?!" What is robbery? Has he ever said that about his sister?

Jiang Xingsheng covered his head and took a few steps back, "Can't you act like a girl? Why are you so violent!" You still have the nerve to say this to him, but you obviously don't look like a lady.

Jiang Xingge wanted to pounce on him and bite him, his good mood was ruined.

"Then don't eat it either!"

The latter did not give in, "It's just a loquat, there are plenty of them in the house."

Jiang Xingsheng looked disgusted, as if he had never eaten it.

"This is a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Xingge's light words made him stop in his tracks.

He quickly stepped back and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Why would the prince give you something?" How could his sister still be favored by the prince?

But soon he thought of someone, and his expression was a bit indescribable, "You didn't get it from the Prime Minister's Mansion, did you? Tsk, that's embarrassing."

Jiang Xingge was speechless, "It was given by Qingyan's cousin. His Highness the Crown Prince gave her a bucket, so he gave some to me."

"Oh." A fight is not bad, after all, there are quite a lot of cousins, and it is the prince who takes action, so it is normal.

Thinking, he stretched out his head and stopped when he saw the maid.

Seeing him like this, the maid quickly gave him a few.

Jiang Xingsheng glanced at her appreciatively, then peeled off the skin and tasted it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s so sweet! It’s sweeter than the ones in his courtyard.

Jiang Xingge came closer and asked, "How is it? Doesn't it taste great? I'll give some to my father."

After she was about to leave, Jiang Xingsheng quickly stopped her and said, "I think you'd better not disturb father. Be careful of being scolded."

When he came out, he ran into his father. He had a downcast look on his face. He just looked at him and left. In short, it was very strange.

Jiang Xingge looked back at the loquats and sighed, "What happened to father?"

"Don't ask." Jiang Xingsheng only answered her with these two words. Although he didn't know, he could feel the seriousness of the matter.

Jiang Xingge frowned, this sage is really...

"Okay then, I'll go back to my room first."

"Go ahead."

However, when passing by the main courtyard, Jiang Xingge took some loquats from the maids, and then told them: "Go back to the courtyard and wait for me."

"Yes." The maids nodded and watched their ladies leave.

Jiang Xingge walked into the courtyard holding Loquat, and saw the housekeeper from a distance. The housekeeper also saw her and trotted over quickly, "Oh, Miss, why are you here now?"

"I brought some loquats to my father. They are very sweet." Jiang Xingge said with a smile.

The housekeeper didn't even look at the loquats. Instead, he urged her to leave, "Miss, please go back first. It won't be too late to come back later."
