Wei Zijin looked at the two pots of wintersweet in front of him with confusion, and really didn't understand what Xiao Heng's purpose was in sending wintersweet at this time.
"In addition to giving these two pots of wintersweet, did the emperor have any other words?" Wei Zijin asked in a deep voice.
The old housekeeper of the palace shook his head and replied respectfully: "The father-in-law who came from the palace only said that the emperor saw that the princess liked plum blossoms, so he specially rewarded her with plum blossoms. He didn't say anything else!"
In fact, he was also quite puzzled. The prince just brought the princess to the palace for the first time. How could the emperor suddenly be so kind to the princess? Taking advantage of the plum blossoms in bloom, he still remembered to give the very precious wintersweet to the princess!
Confused, he did not express the doubts in his heart, but turned his questioning eyes to Xiao Jingyao and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what should I do with these two pots of wintersweet?"
Xiao Jamyao frowned slightly, looked at the two pots of wintersweet that exuded a faint cold fragrance in front of him for a long time, and said calmly: "Since it was specially given by the emperor, of course it must be kept well in the mansion..."
"Yes..." The old butler nodded. Although there was no change in the prince's mood in his calm tone, he had been following the prince to serve him, and he had already faintly noticed that the prince was a little unhappy!
"Your Majesty, Princess, should these two pots of wintersweet be placed in the house or in the backyard?" the old housekeeper asked cautiously, but Xiao Jingyao did not answer.
Wei Zijin hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and ordered: "That's it, just put these two pots of wintersweet on the window sill of the prince's study!"
The old housekeeper nodded and ordered the servant to hold the two precious pots of wintersweet again and walk towards the study. When only Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin were left in the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Jingyao said, "Why are they placed in the study?"
"The painting of plum blossoms in the snow has not yet been completed. Wouldn't it be more refreshing to have plum blossoms in front of you?" Wei Zijin explained with a smile.
Although she couldn't guess Xiao Heng's intention of giving these two pots of plum blossoms, she did like to appreciate plum blossoms. Now that she had these two pots of plum blossoms, why should she transfer her hatred to the plum blossoms because she hated Xiao Heng?!
"Do you like the plum blossoms he rewarded very much?" Xiao Jamyao looked straight into the depths of her eyes and asked thoughtfully, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
Wei Zijin chuckled, shook his head and replied: "What I like is plum blossoms, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Heng, so why should you care?"
"Since you like it, why not put those two pots of wintersweet in the house so that you can enjoy them day and night?" After hearing Wei Zijin's explanation, Xiao Jingyao's expression did not improve, and his brows became more and more frowned.
"It's too warm in the house. If the plum blossoms are placed in the house, they will wither soon!" Wei Zijin explained with a smile. Unexpectedly, while Xiao Jingyao was enjoying the taste, he actually forgot that plum blossoms like the cold, and asked teasingly with raised eyebrows.
: "You won't even forget this?"
When Xiao Jingyao met her smiling eyes, he felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been read. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said with self-mockery: "I was only thinking about whether you were tempted by Xiao Heng's reward, and I forgot about his reward.
Yours is a plum blossom!"
Wei Zijin was about to explain, but Xiao Jamyao had already guessed what she would say. He put his hand to her lips, smiled and sighed: "I know you won't be tempted, but when I heard the word Xiao Heng, I couldn't help but feel a little concerned.
That’s all…”
Wei Zijin also knew that his concern was precisely because he cared so much about himself, so he took the initiative to hold his hand, put it on his heart, and said solemnly: "Now my heart will only move for you, Xiao Jingyao!"
